Chapter 11

Goku and Athena both took there fighting positions. Athena stood there for a moment, "Are you going to make the first move, or do I have to?"

"Ladies first," Goku replied.

Athena laughed, "Ok, if that's what you want." She charged at him, not as fast as she usually does though. Goku just kind of stood up and went to grab her and get her in a hold. Before he could though she disappeared.

"What the--!"

He didn't get to finish because Athena appeared behind him and kicked him in the back. It blow sent him flying into the lake.

He rose out of the water, "Wow, you really are stronger than I thought. I didn't even sense your energy! I guess I won't be taking easy on you."

Athena smiled and held out her hand, making a gesture for him to come on.

With that Goku charged at her with full speed. Athena jumped up and slammed him into the ground. Then she got him pined to the ground. He was lying on his stomach and she had her knee in his back and his arms pulled behind him.

She bent down and whispered in his ear, "Your not even close to the level I am at, so I think that I'm going to let you off easy this time and just walk away before I do some real damage. Besides, I need to find a place to live." She got off his back and started walking away.

"Wait! I am not finished. I still want to fight," Goku pleaded.

She turned and looked at him with a weird look, "Look, you just got crushed 4 minutes into the fight, and I am barely trying. Why do you want to fight some more?"

"Well the only way I am going to get better is to fight some one stronger than me, and you a lot stronger. I might get my butt whooped, but it's worth it."

Athena just laughed at him, "You are insane. But what ever, I guess I will fight you. I really don't have anything better to do."

They both got in position again. Goku made the first move this time. Athena decided to take it a little easy on him this time, so she didn't jump up and slam him into the ground. Instead she just blocked his attacks. Goku was getting really frustrated because she was only using one hand to block him. She got tired of it after a while and with one swipe of her hand he was back in the lake. She decided to dive in after him, but to her surprise he launched two energy balls at her a caught her off guard. She managed to doge them both though. She turned and watched them come flying back at her. She dodged those too. While she was focused on dodging them Goku came behind her and slammed her in the water. She popped her head out of the water and grinned. A few seconds later she disappeared again; She reappeared right in front of Goku, which made him jump back a few feet. She smiled and held up her hands and got ready to blast him. Goku quickly braced himself. She didn't do what he thought she was going to do though. Instead she closed her eyes, with her arms still held up, and began to control Goku's body.

Goku punched himself in the face. He looked at Athena in amazement, "How are you doing this!"

Athena opened her eyes, "It's a power that runs in my mothers side of the family. It a strong psychic ability, and when you learn to master it, it proves to be very useful."

Goku couldn't move at all.

"I will let you go if you give up," she said.

Goku thought about it, "No thanks. Eventually you will lose control, then it will be time for me to strike."

Athena laughed, "That is a good plan, just not when you are facing someone like me. I can stay awake for 3 weeks and I would still have lots of energy. I have mastered this ability to where I don't have to use much energy to control people like this."

Goku's eye got big, "Wow, but I think I will wait."

Athena just shook her head, "Goku, knowing you, you wouldn't be able to go three hours with out giving up because you are so hungry."

Goku tried to shrug his shoulders, but he couldn't because Athena had such a good hold on him, "Well I guess we will just have to wait."

"Ok, but you won't even be able to use the bathroom."

Goku looked at her in alarm, "What, you won't let me use the bathroom!"

"Nope. It's either hold it in for three weeks, or you can just give up," she said with a smile.

Goku pouted just a little, "Man your mean. I wouldn't do that to you."

Athena giggled, "I know you wouldn't because you don't have the psychic ability that I do, and therefore you can never get me in this situation. So I guess you wouldn't do this to me."

Goku looked away and though for a moment. He turned back to her and said, "Fine, since you don't want to be fair about it, I quit."

Athena smiled and waved her arms. "I am not being unfair, this is just the way life goes; you better learn to accept it," she said as she flew down to the ground and walked back towards Goku's house. Goku followed shortly after. He was a little disappointed that they didn't finish the fight, but somehow relived because he didn't want to get beat up to bad by a girl. He forgot all about it shortly though because it was almost time to eat, and he worked up an appetite. They got to Goku's house, but Athena didn't go in, she just kept walking.

Goku tilted his head, "Where are you going. It's almost lunch time, don't you want to eat?"

Athena turned, "We have like, 2 hours before lunch time. So I think I will get started on my house."

"Chi-Chi said you were welcome to stay with us. You don't have to find a house just at this moment."

"No offense, but I would rather stay in my own house. You guys are nice and all, but yall are a little loud, if you know what I mean."

Goku's cheeks turned red and grabbed the back of his neck.

Athena laughed, "You might want to keep it down next time because Gohan woke up and wanted to know what you guys were doing."

Goku's eyes widened, "What did you tell him?"

"I said you guys were making a sandwich."

Goku laughed.

"See you later," Athena said as she turned around and walk away. Goku went inside. He saw Chi-Chi making a small sandwich for Gohan to eat while he studied. Goku couldn't help but laugh. Then he asked Chi-Chi to make him one to. He had just finished it when he heard this loud banging noise. He went outside to see what it was. It was Athena; she was building something.

He walked over to her, "What are you doing?"

She pulled her hair out of her face and said, "I am building my house, what does it look I am doing."

Goku put his hands behind his head, "Do you have any idea how to do that?"

She gave him a look, "No, I don't, I just thought I would try it an see how far I could get until I realized that I didn't know." She rolled her eyes and began to hammer at the wood.

He looked around. She had just started, and it was 12 o'clock. "Where did you get all this wood and do you need any help?"

"I cut some trees up, and no I don't need your help."

"Are you sure, you could be here all night. Then you would have to stay in my loud house again."

Athena laughed. You just stand back and watch. I will be done in no time."

"Ok then," Goku said as he found a nice spot under a tree and sat down. About 10 minutes later he fell fast asleep.

Athena bent down beside him. She got an evil idea. She licked her finger and gave him a wet wily. Goku jumped up and quickly wiped the slobber out of his ear.

"What did I do to disserve that!" he shouted.

"You fell asleep when you said you were going to watch me." She pointed behind her, "See, I finished, and it only took me 4 hours."

Goku looked at her house. It was about the same size as his house, maybe a little bigger. She had even painted it. It was a dark green. "Wow, is there any thing you can't do?"

She thought a moment, "Yes, as a matter of fact there is. I can't bring people back from the dead."

Goku laughed.

Athena sighed, "Now all I have to do is buy some furniture."
