Chikanji is Chichi and Kaze is Goku (pronounced KAH- ZEE, as in Kamikaze.)
For people who aren't sure, Kintoun is in reference to Flying Nimbus.
Chikanji
Kaze stood outside of Mizu's palace, peering over the edge of a snow-covered cliff. He was upset after Mizu had not embraced an opportunity to defrost the blue planet that he had grown to care for.
"Kintoun, come to me!"
Out of the endless white of the sky, a golden cloud stood out amongst the gray hue. It heeded Goku's call and raced to him.
"How are you faring?" Kaze asked the yellow mass of fluff, stroking it fondly. He jumped off the cliff, and the cloud followed him like an obedient dog. They were close to plummeting into the rocks below when Kintoun stopped their fall, cushioning Goku who immediately perched himself comfortably upon the cloud. They traveled lazily through the gray atmosphere. Kaze frowned, remembering how that a mere fifty years ago, the sky had been a sight to behold. I would be fortunate to see the sun from here once again, he thought miserably. "Let us go to Earth, Kintoun. I do not think I can stand being here any longer," Goku sighed. His cloud headed to the land of mortals.
Red and yellow treetops came into view as Kaze neared the Earth's solid ground. He took in the fresh aroma of clean air and grinned. The wilderness was one of the only existing peaceful regions.
With a yawn, Goku decided to take a walk and enjoy himself. He slid off Kintoun and bade farewell to the mystical cloud. It was a season the mortals called fall and the vast forests and Earth creatures were very beautiful to gaze upon. As Kaze strolled through the numerous shrubs and tree she heard a pretty noise. It sounded like the humming of a woman.
Goku became curious and followed the sound to a crystal clear lake only to spot someone swimming in the water. He moved closer and listened while hiding behind a tree. Then, as Goku's interest in the sound intensified, he stepped into the open only to be met by the sight of a radiant woman.
Embarrassed, Kaze shielded his eyes and hid amidst a clump of bright red bushes. Then Goku sighed, grateful that she hadn't spotted him and that he hadn't seen the full of her nakedness.
"What are you doing?"
It was the girl! She was standing over a very mortified Goku, clothed in only her undergarments. Kaze desperately ordered himself to look away, and Goku stared at the ground as though he had never truly noticed it was there.
"I- I'm sorry, it was an accident, I didn't know you were here to bathe. Well, it's just I heard your singing and I had to see the face of the one who could make such a pretty sound and well, I found you here and-"
The young woman cut him off with her laugh. She tilted her head at him and smiled.
"That's okay. I really should not have been out here anyway. Are you lost?"
Kaze shook his head while still staring at a blade of grass as though it were interesting to him.
"No, I just came to smell the trees. It gets lonely where I live and it is certainly more peaceful here."
The woman nodded in agreement. Her knee-length hair spilled over her shoulders, covering half of her body.
"I know what you mean," she said. Then she looked down and took notice of her state of undress. "Oh, excuse me!" She ran back near the lake leaving a relieved Goku.
Kaze's guilt had gradually subsided when the girl returned. She was now adorned in clothing that seemed to be totally crafted from carefully sewn plants. Various colored flowers were lodged neatly in her shining dark hair while a lengthy skirt hung to her ankles, two slits running all the way up to her knees. A bright rose-colored garment was draped across the front of her torso while leaves covered her forearms. Her shoulders were bare and her arms were toned and strong.
Goku had never felt so much attraction to anyone in his life. This woman had captured his complete attention with her eyes. Her face was lit with a small smile that forced Goku to smile as well.
"What is your name?" Kaze asked. The wind god was mentally smacking himself, wondering how a mere human girl could enslave his mind.
The woman chuckled at him. Her forehead glowed with an unknown light, and a symbol spread between her eyebrows. Dangly amulets much like the ones Goku wore had adjusted to her ears. He did not notice the slight changes in her appearance as he was occupied with staring into her eyes.
"I am Chichi."
Kaze frowned. Why does Chichi have such a familiar air about her? He let the thought go.
"Hello, Chichi."
As soon as he had said this, an earsplitting wail cut through the silence. It seemed as if several creatures were howling, groaning, and gnashing their teeth. Goku clamped his hands over his ears.
"What is that?" He wondered out loud. A panic-stricken look crossed Chichi's face. She moved swiftly, shoving Kaze to the dying grass, but not sitting down herself.
"Speak not, my friend," Chichi softly commanded. She spread her arms out to the extent and closed her eyes.
"Spirit of Earth her my plea! Hear it now, with your powers aid me!" she cried in a flaring tone. It echoed many times before the ground shook with a deafening rumble. When Chichi opened her eyes, a flashing green had replaced the dark chocolate of her iris, and Goku was astonished by the transformation. Surely this was no human...
Plants from every nation and breed sprouted from the dirt, flourishing more rapidly than Kaze could imagine. The vegetation became so thick that it had formed a protective barrier around the two.
"Chichi, what-"
Kachi did not have time to complete the question when Chichi collapsed next to him. She shushed him with two quivering fingers.
The voices seemed closer, more desperate than before, and the creatures clawed anxiously as though to pry through the thick growth. Goku had gathered Chichi in his arms in an attempt to shield her from whatever was attempting to force its way to them. He was unworried for himself- immortality was useful when it came to dangerous types of things.
As quickly as it had come, the noisy struggle had gone. Every trace of a noise died off in realization that it was unable to penetrate Chichi's leafy dome.
"Chichi. Chichi, wake up!"
The plants began to wither away as the young woman rose from her state of unconsciousness. As she stirred, Goku smiled, but then he did quite the opposite after realizing her eyes had changed color yet again. How could he not have known?
"Have they gone?" Chichi asked. She sat up and rubbed her arms in an uptight mechanical manner.
"Yes, they are. What were those creatures?"
Chichi frowned and spilled forth her knowledge.
"For the past fifty three years, the Earth's temperature has been decreasing rapidly. I have only managed to save this wilderness from much impairment. The chilling temperatures had been affecting the planet for a while until an unknown force managed to expel most of the icy affliction. Those creatures were an evil that was expelled from the Earth's core when the dark angel came to help... it was as if he could hold the fire in his very hands and yet remain without scorch." Her eyebrows arched in wonder. "Unfortunately, I am sad to say that it still continues to get colder as we speak."
Kaze knew exactly what had really happened. A hint of a smirk graced his lips. So, Kachi truly had done something selfless for once.
"How old are you, may I ask?"
Chichi's sandals suddenly became interesting because she bowed her head to count the many vine-like straps that snaked their way to her knees.
"19."
Goku scowled. Why did she see the need to be untruthful?
"You are deceiving me, little one. Surely with the events I have just witnessed, you are no mortal?"
Kaze lifted Chichi's head so that he could read her eyes as she told him.
"I am 872."
Goku knew this was far from a lie. This woman was Mother Nature, the mythical female deity of the Earth's spirit.
"Kintoun!"
The puffy golden cloud appeared, leaving behind a trail of yellow dust. Goku climbed upon it, and kneeled down so that he and the girl were almost at eye level.
"So, what did you say your name was?"
"Chikanji."
Chikanji was combing her fingers through Kintoun's swirling fog. In amazement she patted it, surprised that it held somewhat of a solid shape.
"Chichi used to be my name until I found out of my abilities," she said. "You may call me as you wish."
Kaze watched intently and found that Chichi's hand was not sinking through his cloud. He smiled kindly at her. Only one with a pure heart could do as she did.
"Would you like to fly with me? I could show you what it looks like from above..."
Chikanji looked closely at Goku's visage and found kindness in the depth of his eyes. She gave in to their warmth.
"Yes, I would be happy to."
"Here."
Goku slid his hands under Chichi's arms and lifted her as if she were a small child. They sat securely on the yellow cloud, but out of nervousness, Chichi clutched to Kaze's shoulders as they were lifted higher into the sky.
"Relax, it is perfectly safe," Goku assured her.
"That is easy for you to say; like most, I do not fly around on a magical cloud all day," Chikanji said, her arms now feverishly wrapped around Kaze's neck. Her body was fully pressed against his back.
"But you're not like most people," Kaze stated. Abruptly, he pried from Chichi's grip and stood up.
The young goddess stifled a scream and clung to Goku's leg. He could only laugh at her motion.
"It will be quite alright. Stand with me."
All it took from Goku was an amiable grin and a little more convincing before Chichi was standing, yet still hanging on to his shoulder. She refused to look down at first, burying her face into Goku's shirt, but then she could not resist and studied the sight below.
To Chikanji, the view was like a dream, something she could hardly imagine as reality. She had traveled the Earth many times before, but she had never truly seen it for all it was worth. Yet she could not help but to realize this was not its true beauty. She listened to the cold and the silence, but could not get rid of the wonderful feeling in the pit of her stomach. What a friend she had made… After all, the people of Earth would not accept her and feared her power. She felt a rare sense of trust toward her new acquaintance. Acceptance…
