Ok I may be a little late with the update! But I have a very good reason; my cousin from the states is here to visit, so I have to entertain her! Well here's the chapter, better late than never! A little warning for some of you who are uncomfertable with romancing, at the end of this chapter, things, oh how do put it...heat up! Just thought I'd let you know!!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the dbz characters; I only own Joe, and Sicshuu.It had been a week, one whole week of physical work, something Chi-chi wasn't used to! Every morning Chi-chi would wake up, get breakfast ready, then she would go to Bulma's house and start working. After that, she would go back to Goku's house and clean up. By the time that chore was done, she had to make dinner, after dinner, she would wash the plates. Once every thing was done, she could finally go to sleep! Yet somehow; through all that work, she would get a feeling of satisfaction. And a small part of her actually enjoyed it! At her home, she never really accomplished anything. But during her stay here, every day was a huge accomplishment.
However; there was one thing she still couldn't do. Every day it would kill her inside, to know that all her attempts to catch Goku's eye, had failed. Once and awhile, she would see him working with his brother, or training his son. But no matter how hard she tried, he never noticed her. Not even the amount of work she did every day, impressed him. It was as if he expected her to do all that, and more! Chi-chi was somewhat glade Goku never took an interest in her. Bulma once told her that Goku never remarried, because he never admitted he was a bachelor. Even when his wife, Chow, passed on, he always considered himself a married man. Therefore, if Chi-chi would become something more to Goku, she wouldn't feel like 'the love of his life'; she would consider herself as 'the woman he's sleeping with'! And she knew Goku would feel the same way. So she was glad things didn't get too serious between them. But, on the nights she felt lonely, and unwanted, she would dream of him, and she wished that she could be something important to him.
The night before was one of those lonely nights, so that morning she did not wake up in a good mood. She began her regular routine, with a depressed attitude. Then Goku walked in the room. He didn't look so cheerful himself. 'Chi-chi, we need to talk.' he said, sounding very upset. 'What is it?' she asked. 'It's uh...it's bout Joe. He's...' he paused for a moment 'he's gotten worse.' Chi-chi stepped back, 'W-What?' 'It turns out his scars have infections, there's not much Bulma could do about it.' He said in a sincere tone. Chi-chi was ready to cry. Her morning was all ready cruddy, but this made it so much worse. Goku continued, 'He only wants to see you. He thinks we've hurt you in someway, so he wants to see you.' Chi-chi nodded.
She slowly walked to Bulma's house. She was balling her eyes out. This news was just too much to bear. She slowly made her way to the room he stayed in. She expected to see Joe lying in bead, dying. But when she looked up...he was standing up, fully healed. Chi-chi screamed so loud! She ran straight for him, and almost knocked him down! 'Joe! You're ALIVE, YOURE ALIVE!!!!!' she screamed. 'Whoa whoa! Easy there! Of course I'm alive?!' he said happily.
Bulma stood at the door way, a little shocked by Chi-chi's reaction. 'Uh, Chi-chi-san I knew you would be happy about this, but I never expected you to be this happy!' said Bulma. Just then Goku and Vegeta entered the room, laughing like hyenas! 'I suppose you two had something to do with this?' said Bulma. Chi-chi walked up to Goku, 'YOU BIG JERK!!' she yelled as she tried to hit him. Goku grabbed both her wrists, 'Ah cam'on! It was just too easy! I had no choice!' he said while laughing. 'HAHA! Goku told the girl you were dying! And she believed it, even though Bulma told her you were ok!!' said Vegeta to Joe! They all began to laugh, except Chi-chi! Her face had gone completely red! It was so embarrassing!! She tried to break from Goku's grip. He finally let go of her (still laughing!). Joe hugged Chi-chi friendly, 'Don't sweat it kid!' Goku and Vegeta tried to hold in their laughter. 'Well, you two got a lot of catching up to do!' said Bulma. 'YA! Joe let me show you around!' Chi-chi said as she pulled him along! Once they left the boys started laughing once again! Bulma smacked them both on the back of the head 'Idiots!' she sighed!
Chi-chi and Joe walked around while they talked. Chi-chi filled him in on everything. 'Wow! These people sure are intriguing.' said Joe. 'I know. They're so different than everyone at home, and yet, we all live in the same country!' said Chi-chi. 'So how's that Goku fella? He seems nice!' said Joe. 'Hmph! Yes he seems that way!!' 'What do you mean? When we talked, he was very understanding, and kind!' Chi-chi sighed, 'Well...he's nice to everyone...but me.' she said depressingly. 'What?' he asked. Chi- chi told him about Goku's previous wife, and how he was rude to her, because she looked identical to her, and she told him of her feelings for Goku. Joe felt sorry for Chi-chi. He knew that Chi-chi had always dreamed of a man like Goku, but she got TaoPiaPia instead. 'Well, maybe he doesn't realize.' said Joe, trying to make the situation better. 'No. I think he knows, but he just doesn't like me.' Chi-chi said. Joe wrapped his arm around her shoulder and they continued walking.
When they got back, Joe had to leave to see Lord Muten Rôshi-sama. Once he left Chi-chi walked into Goku's house. Goku was sitting on the floor cleaning his sword. 'Hey.' greeted Goku, which was very unusual. 'H- Hello?!' said Chi-chi reluctantly. 'How was your walk?' he asked. 'Good.' she said. She decided to sit next to him (when life gives you lemons you make lemonade!). 'So you're happy your boyfriends ok?' Goku asked innocently. 'Did you just refer to Joe as my boyfriend?' asked Chi-chi. 'Well ya! I mean I could tell....' Chi-chi interrupted him, 'No no no! He's not my boyfriend. He's married for gosh sakes!' 'Sorry!' said Goku. They both didn't speak for a while. Once Goku was done washing his sword he got up and started to walk away. 'Uh! Wait Goku?!' said Chi-chi as she chased after him. 'What is it?' he asked. 'Um, I just wanted to thank you.' 'For what?' Chi-chi didn't answer right away, she was too nervous. 'Well...for keeping Joe alive, and helping him.' Goku was a little confused. He didn't really do anything to help him, Bulma was the one who took care of him, but he wasn't going to argue. 'No problem.' he said. Chi-chi smiled. She leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek, and then she walked to her room.
Goku didn't give the kiss a second thought; he just went back to what he was doing. He heard someone chuckling, and when he turned around he saw his father. He most likely saw what happened. 'What are you laughing at?' asked Goku. 'You of course!' answered his father. He walked up to his son. 'You are so blind! I mean, how could you not notice! The girl watches you all the time, she attempts to impress you, and you still don't get it.' he said. 'Chi-chi has never tried to impress me! And I know for a fact that she does not watch me!' said Goku. 'Sure Goku. In your world she doesn't do those things.' Goku rolled his eyes. His father patted his back, 'If you want something good in your life, I suggest you come out of your world, and step into the real one.' and with that, he left.
The next morning Goku woke up early, to go train with his buddies. He met Kuririn, Yamcha, Tien, Piccolo and Vegeta by the valley. 'Hey guys!' said Goku. 'Hey!' said everyone. 'Say Goku, how's that princess thing working out?' asked Kuririn. 'Ah you know, she's just as annoying as any other gal!' responded Goku. 'Hey is she single?' asked Yamcha, 'You know I need a girl!' Everyone laughed. 'Shut up and train already!' demanded Piccolo. They trained had been training for a good hour. Yamcha was up against Goku. They charged at each other, and then Yamcha stopped. Goku smacked him and he fell to the ground. 'What's wrong with you?' asked Goku. Yamcha pointed to Chi-chi, who was in the distance. She was looking in their direction.
'She is totally checking me out!' exclaimed Yamcha! He stood up all proud! Goku looked at her, and she quickly looked away. 'Poor girl. She's so impressed by me, she can't even look at me!' said Yamcha proudly. Kuririn sighed 'Yamcha she was not looking at you!' he turned to Goku, 'She's checking out her luv'a'boy!' exclaimed Kuririn. Everyone began to laugh, except Yamcha! Goku rolled his eyes. 'Well...I wouldn't say I'm her lover boy...!' said Yamcha. 'You are so pathetic!' exclaimed Vegeta. Chi-chi took one more glance at Goku, but he was looking directly at her, so she turned away. Goku remembered what his father told him last night 'The girl watches you all the time, she attempts to impress you, and you still don't get it' Goku sighed, he still tried to deny the fact that Chi-chi was taking an interest in him. 'Come on guys lets continue!' demanded Goku.
Goku and Chi-chi didn't talk to each other for the rest of the day. That night's dinner was very quiet, well, Gohan was blabbing away, but Goku and Chi-chi were quiet! Gohan went straight to bed that night, since he had a ruff day. And grandpa always went to bed after dinner. Goku and Chi-chi were left alone in the kitchen. Chi-chi tried to occupy herself by washing the dishes. She hoped Goku was going to leave for bed, she felt way to awkward. Goku sat at the table wondering what he should do about all this. He had decided earlier that there was no point on denying the whole thing, she loved him, there was no doubt in his mind. And he sort of knew that he loved her too.
Chi-chi decided to break the ice, 'Aren't you tired?' she asked, 'Y-You worked hard today. You should get some sleep.' Goku sat back and sighed, 'Well you would know?!' he said. 'Know what?' she asked. Goku stood up and walked to her, 'You would know if I was working hard today.' Chi-chi's face became red. Goku turned her around to face him. 'I saw you today.' he said, 'Why are you watching me?' Chi-chi didn't say anything. She got nervous when he placed his hands on her hips. Goku pulled her closer. 'Why were you watching me?' he said quietly.
Chi-chi looked into his eyes. She could feel her heart racing, she could hardly breathe. Chi-chi quickly moved closer and kissed him. She wrapped her arms around his neck. She thought in her head, 'Oh shit! What the hell is wrong with me?' She was surprised to feel that Goku was wrapping his arms around her, and pulling her even closer. He felt a warm feeling inside him that he hadn't felt in years. He missed this feeling.
They reluctantly broke from their kiss. They were both out of breathe, their hearts were pounding. 'I'm sorry.' Chi-chi whispered. Goku just smiled, then he leaned forward and kissed her passionately. Chi-chi could have fainted. Ever since she saw him she wanted this so bad, it was almost like a dream. Goku pushed her up against the counter. He slowly moved his tongue into her mouth. Chi-chi moaned quietly. Goku picked her up and walked down the hall. He pushed up against a door, and placed her back down.
He began to kiss her neck. Chi-chi sighed deeply, then she realized that they were in front of the door leading to Goku's old bedroom. He opened the door and they walked in side. Goku made sure the door was completely shut. He began to kiss her once again. Goku sat her down on the bed.
Chi-chi was a little unsure about this, but she was in such a deep trance, she didn't care! She could feel him undo her shirt. He slowly took off the rest of her clothes. Then he laid her down on the bed, and he slowly pulled away so he could take a good look at her. His heart fluttered by the sight. Her body was much more firm than his previous wife's (don't forget she was very bony, so she got ill easily). 'She's perfect.' he thought, 'she's absolutely perfect in every way!' He noticed that Chi-chi kept her eyes closed. She was too nervous too look at him. He leaned closer and gave her a gentle kiss. 'Chi-chi,' he said quietly, 'open your eyes.' Chi-chi nuzzled her face against his, her heart was pounding. 'Please...open your eyes.' pleaded Goku. Chi-chi wrapped her arms around his neck, and slowly opened her eyes.
Goku smiled. 'Oh Chi-chi,' he sighed, 'I have always loved your eyes.' He kissed her once again. 'They're so perfect,' he kissed her, 'and beautiful.' Chi-chi was so happy! She never knew he felt this way about her, after all he was so rude to her. Goku began to kiss her passionately, and then turned so he was on his back, and Chi-chi was on top of him. Chi- chi was beginning to cry softly, but Goku didn't notice. He caressed Chi- chi's side, and turned around once again. He moved one hand to the back of her head and pulled her closer. He slowly moved his hand to the side of her face. He felt tears on her cheek. Goku pulled away, 'What's wrong?' Chi-chi smiled, 'Nothing,' she said happily, 'how could anything possibly be wrong?' Goku was glad she was happy, but he was even gladder that he was the one who made her happy. Chi-chi turned them over, and started to kiss him. She pulled away for a moment, 'Goku?' 'Ya' 'Do you love me?' They stared deep into each others eyes, 'Of course I do Chi-chi.' He pulled her closer. 'If I didn't...I wouldn't be doing this.'
She kissed him happily! 'I love you too.' she said sincerely. She pushed her tongue into his mouth while they kissed, and she slowly rubbed his chest. Goku let out a deep moan, and that night they made love to each other.
