Vegeta grumbled as Bulma screamed at him to answer the door, as a constant banging came from the front door. He opened it with a scowl, and was surprised at who he saw. Goku stood there, with the angriest face Vegeta had ever seen. In his arms was an injured Chi-Chi, but not just her, to Goku's left was Piccolo, and he was holding Krillin, whose throat was bruised, and gasping loudly as he struggled to breathe. Gohan stood by his father, clutching onto his shirt, tears in his dark eyes.
"What the Hell do you want Kakarrot?" Vegeta snapped, pretending to be unfazed by the injured woman in the fellow Seyin's arms, when actuality he was curious as to how she got that way. Goku pushed past Vegeta simply growling, "The Sensu beans, you have them." Vegeta glared at the troop and asked, "What happened to your woman Kakarrot? She speak out of turn?" Vegeta was shocked at what happened next.
A quick blast crashed into his chest and he was knocked off his feet and onto the ground. He stared at Goku as he disappeared down the hall. His shock turned to anger and he slammed to door, retreating outside to train.
Bulma was in the kitchen, struggling as she tried to cook a meal. She turned and cried, "CHI-CHI! OH MY GOD, WHAT HAPPENED!" Piccolo came in with Krillin and she cried again, "Krillin too!" Goku sat down holding Chi-Chi, who lay very still, and alert in his arms. "Bulma you have the Sensu beans. I need them-now!" Goku snapped, the woman nodding rushing out of the room. She came back a few seconds later with a small bag of Sensu beans, gave one to Goku, and went over to help Krillin eat his.
Chi-Chi ate her bean with little trouble, and when she recovered, pulled away from Goku, sitting down at one of the kitchen chairs. Gohan came over to her, and did something he had not done in a while. He climbed into her lap, but the mother simply rested her head against the top of his. Bulma and Piccolo were having difficulty getting Krillin to swallow the bean, the young man just choking the bean came back up. Goku reached over took the bean, crushed it into a powder, and poured it in Krillin's mouth, who finally managed to swallow.
He sat up, eyes open wearily, "Who...Who was that?"
"Chi-Chi...do you have an answer?" Goku asked slowly looking at his wife. She looked at him, and the others who waited eagerly to hear the whole story. She told the story in a matter of minutes, Goku's face twisting angrier, and angrier. Though she told the highlights of the story, she left out the parts where Mako talked of her unhappiness of being left behind when the world needed saving. "That...that..." Goku took in a sharp breath, and asked, "Bulma can we stay here until I can find this Mako guy?" Bulma nodded squeezing Chi-Chi's hand, "Yes, as long as you need." Goku nodded, and looked at his wife, his expression instantly softening, "I'm going to go back to our place...get a few things...is that alright?" She nodded, not looking him, but her cheeks flared red when he strode over to her kissing her cheek gently.
Goku left shortly, running into Vegeta who had been listening in the entire time. Goku regarded Goku, and tried leaving when Vegeta asked, "You love her Kakarrot?" Goku stopped not turning to look at Vegeta. "Do you love her Kakarrot?" he asked again.
"More than she'll ever know. She doesn't know how much...and I...I don't know how to put it into words for her to understand my affection."
"You better figure out a way, before this Mako Character spirits her away," Vegeta snorted, smirking as he saw Goku stiffen.
"That won't happen," Goku snarled, clenching his fists, "I'll protect her."
Goku stomped, off Vegeta shaking his head, vowing to never fall in love with any woman, and walking off down the hall. Krillin and Piccolo, nervously stayed in the kitchen, before excusing themselves, but Chi-Chi asked softly, "Gohan will you go with them? I want some rest." Gohan nodded, kissing his mother good-bye and rushed to catch up with Krillin, and Piccolo. Bulma immediately grasped Chi-Chi's hands, "Oh Chi-Chi!" Chi-Chi looked up at her, and whispered, "Will you please...show me to a room I can stay in...I need to lie down." Bulma nodded, eagerly helping her friend up, terrified at the news, and how fragile the strong willed woman seemed.
Chi-Chi flopped down on the bed when she reached the room, and instantly shut her eyes, to sleep. Bulma say down next to her, stroking the woman's head. "Chi-Chi...this Mako guy...what are you going to do?" Chi-Chi opened her eyes slowly, "Just...deal with I guess...I'll be careful, and I'll protect myself...and Goku..." She turned her face against the pillow, and Bulma could feel her trembling.
"Chi-Chi?" Bulma whispered feeling her heart jump into her throat.
"Look at all the problems I'm causing him...Oh Bulma...what am I going to do?" Chi-Chi choked out, tears trying to escape out of her eyes.
"Deal with it...Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, hell even Vegeta, if I threaten, will protect you, and I will to. It's going to be alright, this isn't your fault. How could you have known that a creepy stalker was going to show up?"
Chi-Chi stilled, and looked at one of her dearest friends, "I feel so sick Bulma." Bulma sighed, forcing a smile, "Go take a shower, and I'll lay out some medicine on the this table over here for you alright? I'll also lay out a night gown so you can sleep."
Chi-Chi nodded, and stumbled up, heading for the bathroom. In a hurry Bulma left the room, and shut the door. Her hand's came to her face and she began to weep softly in her hands, trying to be quiet as she could. "What are you doing?" She looked up seeing Vegeta staring at her with a puzzled expression. "NOTHING!" She barked wiping her face desperately, she didn't want Vegeta of all people to see her like this.
The towel Vegeta had been carrying was thrown on her head, and she snatched it off surprised. Vegeta steadily stared at her, and snapped, "Dry your face." She looked down at the trowel and then back to him, "But it's all sweaty..." He glared at her, ready to shout but she wiped her face anyways. She smiled at him, and whispered her thanks. Vegeta scowled mumbling, holding out his hand for her to throw it back. Instead she walked over to him, and handed it to him, staring directly into his eyes. He stared back at her surprised, and cleared his throat, pulling the towel away from her.
They parted, Bulma going to get the medicine and nightshirt for Chi-Chi, and Vegeta headed off towards the kitchen to find something to eat.
About twenty minutes later Chi-Chi emerged from the shower, and with a towel wrapped around her body went into her room, her mind weighed down with the thoughts of Mako. "Of all times, why did he pick now to show up?" She sighed, looking around the room she'd be staying in. Her eyes widened at what she saw next and she immediately backed against the wall. "M-Mako!"
There he was smiling at her with lust filled in his eyes. His eyes dropped down over her body and he stared at her with want. He let out a deep sigh, and smiled at her, "I've dreamed of seeing you like this..." He smiled headed for her, and panicking she looked around. She rushed forward clutching the towel to her with one hand, and punching Mako in the face as she made for the door. She was almost home free, when he caught her leg, making the woman fall and hit her head.
Now nursing a concussion, she lay there dazed eyes rapidly blinking. It was then she realized Mako had placed himself over her, and was staring at her with hungry eyes. Screaming and closing her eyes, she gripped her towel tighter. Before anything else could happen, the door was banged open, and Vegeta appeared staring in shock at the scene. It only took a moment for his face to turn to anger, and to send blast of golden energy at Mako. It struck him, knocking him to his feet, but Mako held his ground, his body taking in the energy, not a scratch appearing on his body.
"What the hell..." Vegeata whispered eyes wide.
Chi-Chi had dashed up, and grabbed Vegeata's wrist, pulling him out of the room, "He's invented a pill that can make him match the strength of any opponent, he must have taken it before coming." She explained shortly pulling him along. Vegeata tugged his wrist away from her, snapping, "I don't need some woman pulling me along!" He burst through the door that led to outside, Chi-chi following him, thinking only of escaping instead of embarrassment of the people outside seeing her.
It only took a moment for Mako to walk outside, but in that moment terror caused Chi-Chi to scream. Mako had Bulma by her hair, and she was thrashing as she was pulled along. Vegeta's eyes flared with sharp anger, "Let her go you bXstard!" Bulma cried as Mako wrenched her out in front of him, and then snaked his other arm around her waist, "Why?"
Vegeta growled, and he whispered, "Because I'll rip you limb from limb if you don't." Mako smiled at Chi-Chi, "You know what you have to do." Chi-Chi's eyes widened and she looked away. Sighing, she held her Chin up as she began to walk over to him. Someone caught her elbow and she was startled to see it was Vegeta. He was not looking at her, but kept his eyes steadily on something just behind Mako.
"CHI-CHI!"
Goku was flying as fast as he could towards them, a bag slung around his shoulder. Mako looked back at him sighed, and smiled at Chi-chi. "Another time." He pulled out a capsule, a heavy smoke building around him, and Bulma. Once again, when the smoke cleared, he was gone, and BUlma lay on the ground, one of her hands holding her head with pain. Vegeta went to her, and pulled her roughly up demanding, "HOW COULD YOU LET HIM GRAB YOU LIKE THAT?" She glared at him, tears in her eyes, "I WASN'T TRYING TO, OKAY? WE CAN'T ALL BE AS POWERFUL AS YOU VEGETA!"
While they argued Goku had landed in front of Chi-chi, dropped the bag and held her to him, eyes filled with intense anger. "That's it...I'm not leaving your side until we find him!" Chi-Chi rest her head against her husband, feeling weak, and let go of her towel. Luckily for her Goku grabbed it keeping it on her body. Then he scooped the woman up and turned to Bulma looking at her for an answer. "She just fainted, it's okay," Bulma said quickly running over.
Goku nodded, and looked at Bulma, eyes filled with regret. "I am so sorry Bulma...I'm so sorry." Bulma smiled sadly at Goku, "I don't care what happens, Chi-Chi is one of my dearest friends. I won't stand by and let this happen." Goku nodded, and looked over at Vegeta, "Thank you Vegeta." Vegeta glared, snorted, and stomped off. Goku carried his wife into the bedroom, laid her down and curled up next to her. "I'll be hear when you wake," he whispered kissing her gently, and closing his eyes, keeping her in his protective embrace.

All for now. Thanks for waiting, but I'm not going to apologize for moving. However I'll tell you what's gonna happen next. Mako is willing to do anything to get Chi-Chi, even if it means killing her only son...see ya next time.
