Two Worlds…One Hero
Chapter 4: Let Me Get To Know You
Dinner had been a complete disaster that evening. Not only did Yamcha make a complete fool of himself with his constant bickering, but he upset their guest pretty badly.
Goku was sat upon the balcony to his guest room, watching the city before him. He was angry, fuming! He really wanted to beat the crap out of that human they called Yamcha. Why he didn't just do it when he had the chance, he didn't know. His thoughts were soon interrupted by a familiar presence. Chichi wandered over to him and leant on the balcony wall next to him. She remained quiet for a few seconds until she spoke.
"I'm sorry for my brother's behaviour" she apologised. He remained silent, "It's just, he doesn't…trust you and your kind" Looking up at him she could see the anger from his scowling face.
"My kind" he whispered roughly.
"If it makes you feel any better…I don't think you're that bad" she replied, getting nothing but a 'hmf' from Goku. She frowned; this was going to be harder than she thought.
"Listen, I just wanted to say…thank you" she continued.
"For what?" he asked nastily.
"For saving my life"
"I didn't save your life"
"Well you stopped me from dying" she confirmed
"Forget about it. It was nothing" he spat.
"Look, I know you're angry, but there is no need to take it out on me!"
"Why do you care?" he asked loudly.
"Because…" he awaited her answer with a scowl still filing his features, "Because you're not like them…you're different"
"You don't know anything about me…what makes me different?"
"You just are Goku!" there was silence once more. Boy, he really was a spoilt brat. How could he be so miserable and so…nasty? Man, she hated that. Deciding to change the subject she looked up at the stars.
"What is your planet like?" she asked, thinking maybe this way she could get to know him.
"You talk a lot" he spoke. She gasped.
"I do not talk a lot!"
"Then why do you keep questioning me?" he asked her.
"Because I'm interested, that's why" Goku shook his head thinking she was weird.
"You humans are strange" he said.
"Well I think your strange, but I'm not complaining" she said with a smirk, "So why don't you be a good boy and tell me about your planet" Goku was quite intimidated by her attitude.
"I don't have a home anymore…"
"What do you mean?"
"My planet was destroyed long ago"
"Oh waw. I'm so sorry to hear that…so, where so you live now?"
"In space, with my brother, in his ship" silence reached them again.
"What was your planet like?" He sat comfortably and looked down at the city.
"My world had big cities like yours, but our cities were much bigger and taller" he watched the cars drive down the roads beneath, "There were none of those moving…machines"
"You mean cars?"
"Yeah, if that's what they're called" he looked up at the sky, "And there were no glowing dots"
"Stars! You didn't have stars?" she asked shocked.
"No"
"Did you have a moon?"
"We used to" Chichi looked down at her hands in thought. The poor guy, he had no home, no friends, just a brother who beat him up.
"What ever happened to your parents?" she asked quietly.
"I never met them. But, from what I know, my mother died at childbirth and my father…he blew up with the planet" Chichi gasped, not believing what he was saying.
"I'm so sorry"
"Yeah, forget it" Chichi was mesmerised about this boy. No matter what, he wouldn't let his emotions get the better of him. In fact, she wasn't even sure he had them.
She touched his arm, taken aback as he moved.
"You're a mystery Goku. You're really something out of this world. Why will you not let me get close to you, let me know you?"
"Because…I can't know you…" he replied, edging away from her, turning his back to her also.
"Why?"
"Because you're a human! I'm a Saiyan! So stop questioning me"
"Fine" she murmured, standing in silence. Goku sighed thankfully, happy she had shut up.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" she asked him. He frowned heavily.
"What?" he growled, having enough of her chatter.
"A girlfriend. Do you have one?"
"What's a girlfriend?" Chichi giggled.
"It's where you care for and love a girl"
"A girl? You mean like you?"
"Yes, I'm a girl"
"Ha! Saiyans don't love anything"
"That's stupid. There's bound to be something you love"
"We do not love anything, so to answer your stupid question, for the last time, no, I don't have a girlfriend, neither does any other Saiyan! We have mates!"
"Okay, do you have a mate?"
"No! Anyway…females of our species died with the planet long ago" Chichi felt kind of sorry for him.
"One more question, then I'll leave you in peace"
"What?" he sighed.
"You have two tattoos. What do they mean?" Goku looked down at the tattoo on his arm.
"This one means I'm a third class Saiyan. All Saiyans have them when they are born.
"What about the bigger one on your back?" Chichi wondered.
"It's our beliefs, the code we live by"
"And what is that?"
"Nue weocochieont inu hehwe sohrowe,
Ro n'avocoonu vo ont n'yeo cohe,
ya n'owe ro nih cohe yaooton,
Eonto ehcorhweeontpay ro avocohr cohe"
"What does that mean?" she asked, completely confused in what he just said.
"Strength is our power,
Weakness we have not,
Fear we do not feel,
The unworthy we know not" he replied, looking back down at the city below.
"You must understand that, me being here with you…with a human…it is wrong. It is against the rights, the code and my pride"
"I will not tell anyone" she assured him.
"No, but I will know" he whispered as he jumped off the wall and back inside.
"I'm going to sleep now" he said. She smiled half-heartedly, before leaving the room. Shutting the door, she leant against it. What was wrong with her? Why did she want to stay at his side? Why did she like him? She sighed, walking away.
