The Pros and Cons?
The more time pasted Goku found it harder and harder to choose. Nuku felt bad but she know what it was like to have to make a hard decision. By this time everyone had left the room except Goku and Nuku.
" Goku, why are you tormenting yourself? This is a simple decision."
" No, it isn't. When I said I love both of you I truly meant it."
" I know that you do. But still Chi-chi isn't one of us, you can't expect her to simply except this. She's a human. If you choose her I understand entirely."
" No, Nuku. I have never seen myself as a Saiyan ever. I know I am one but I have never or do I plan to ever be like one."
" You sound like my brother."
" Your brother? I don't remember meeting him before."
" Actually you never did. He died just a few years ago."
" I'm sorry to hear that."
" I know you are. But, you must know how that feels. Right? Do you know how it feels to be like a pariah, and have no one who understands you or even tries to."
" I did for a while. That is until I meet my friends. They didn't treat me as if I was different or a freak of nature or anything. They treated me as a friend, as someone they could look up too."
" What about Chi-chi?"
" Don't bring her into this!" Goku sounded a bit annoyed. Nuku was a little alarmed when Goku spoke in that tone. Then again she had terrible experiences when she was young with people who would take that tone with her. Her father was one of them. He always abused her. One day she had no choice but to kill her own dad. (of course she was protecting herself. She didn't do it on purpose)
" I'm sorry if I upset you."
" No I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken such a tone. I nearly forgotten how…"
" Goku… you have got to be the only person who has ever cared about me besides my brother."
" What happened to him?"
" He got very sick one day, and he just never got better. Even though we are Saiyans we are not immune to everything."
" Oh I see."
" So… how did she treat you?"
" Who Chi-chi?"
" Yes. Pauses If you don't want to talk about it I'm ok with that."
" No, I think it would really help me out." He sits down on the couch.
" Well Chi-chi had love for me from the very beginning. However I didn't think of her that way. But then again I was about 13 at the time. As time went on my feelings for her didn't change that much until after a year after our marriage. That's when Gohan was born. But even then Chi-chi would stop me from doing things that I like to do and she did the same thing to Gohan. She was way to protective, but all women are like that, aren't they? But anyway I guess I didn't feel the same kind of love that I feel with you."
" You can't mean that. I mean she gave you children! Doesn't that mean anything to you?"
" It does, however my I still love her."
" How can that be true Goku? If you say that the kind of love that you have with me is different then how can you still love her?"
" I don't know. I can't really explain it. But I think that it has to be so because we are Saiyans and the way we love is different."
" Goku! So that's why you love me, just because I'm Saiyan?"
" No! It's like that. whispers to himself Why is this so hard?"
" Goku, I'm sorry. I guess I'm not helping."
" You're right though. You know I think she should be grateful to me."
" Oh how so?"
" I save the earth so many times and I don't get even a get a thanks from her. I know that you would appreciate if I did that. She always says that Gohan's studies were more important then protecting the Earth."
" That's crazy. Goku I think it would be better for you if you left with me. That way you can get all the affection and thanks that you desire."
" Maybe your right. Perhaps I shouldn't stay with her." Pauses for a moment. " Well Nuku, I'm going to sleep on it and then I… no we will go and tell her of my decision."
Hey everyone. I know it's a cliff hanger. I hate them but I thought that I should throw one in. I still need some opinions. So please tell me and review the chapter as always. When I get enough I will make the final decision but I think I already know who to pick… but I'm not telling. I want to hear your opinions. So till then… Laters…
