The Fallen Angel Arc

Chapter 5:The Flower Road of Our Date

-(First Person POV)-(Akeno)-

If I could go back and do things as the way they are now, I think I would've been set for life. OK, well, at least for the next 10 years. With my dream about Vegeta and Raynare, Goku's upcoming battle with this Cooler person and his somewhat reunion with Vegeta from this world, things are really heating up, aren't they?

I know I said I would do whatever it takes to ensure Goku and I live a peaceful life together, but we all know that isn't going to be the case. At least not for long. There's going to be tough obstacles ahead of us together as we march onwards with our lives.

Hmm… This calls for a relaxing date! And I know how…!


Late Evening

8:44:33 PM

Slashing Canyon Forest (16 HOURS EARLIER…)


-(First Person POV)-(Kuroka)-

With Goku's ethnicity being kept a secret, I would always lie about my report to Azazel. And honestly, I feel as though I'm doing good. 2 months in, right? If word got out that there was a surviving Saiyan, then I would lose my only pleasure on making kids, strong kids. That, and well… being one with Goku, haha, Who knew sex with a Saiyan could feel so… pleasuring…?

"And that's all I've got for you today, Azazel…" I said, sitting on a large rock.

In this forest lies myself, Azazel and Vali. Before heading to them for every weekly report, it was always just the two of them, analyzing the purple anomaly Goku and I discovered. To this day, without enough time on their hands, the three of us still don't know what lies on the other side…

Azazel was on one knee, touching the anomaly with precaution as his body was invoked in a skin-tight Ki barrier. "I see. The same as always with Goku, eh? Thank you for reporting, Kuroka."

"Hmph!" I crossed my legs. "Tell me something, Azazel. Did you ever manage to dig up something here? With this anomaly?"

"Nope. Sadly, I feel as though it's going to continue this way." Azazel replied to me, sounding disappointed. "A month ago, I had some of my guys try entering through. However, that experiment became a fail."

"What happened?" I asked. I was left wondering because other than Goku, this anomaly that almost got me also interest me. It reeks of energy so far beyond my own comprehension that I, along with Azazel, would like to know what's on the other side if anyone could enter it.

"Those Angels died by a skin disease led by the exposure of the anomaly." Vali answered for Azazel, cutting in. "They were all well-equipped, properly suited and the moment they tried entering, the anomaly ripped off their clothes, burning them alive and left them to die as their energy was being drained."

"What did you say?" My eyes opened after hearing that. "How many died?"

"12 Fallen Angels. Since then, I've tried whatever it took it take drastic measures on making sure we don't repeat that accident. As you can tell, it's not going well for us so far."

"Kuroka, didn't you and Son Goku get exposed to this anomaly?" Vali said, turning to me with his arms crossed. "Hmm? Tch. This is really annoying. The barrier I placed on myself isn't working anymore."

"Yeah… we did." I admitted. "But unlike the 12 Angels, it didn't affect Goku nor I at all. We were all in one peace."

"Then it must've evolved or something to do that to my crew…" Azazel said, standing up. He was getting a little mad over the fact that what was in front of him wasn't testable. "Sigh… I get the feeling I'm going to be stuck at square one. I have to know what's inside this anomaly!"

His somewhat desire can to fruition , kind of, as we were about to have more company. You guessed it, everyone. It's Akeno Himejima and my Saiyan Goku. The three of us caught wind of their energy and looked up to see Akeno holding Goku in his arms as they were flying down to us…

"Son Goku and Akeno Himejima. To what do we owe the pleasure?" Azazel said, showing manners.

"Yo! Sup, Azazel, Vali! Hi, Kuroka!" Goku waved at us with a cute smile as he was put down by Akeno.

His smile was so precious, he's going to make me act up. And I did, unfortunately. My heart beats for his manly figure, his charming, good looks, his kindhearted-soul that I walked over to him purring as my arms wrapped around his right. "Goku, Goku, Goku. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you wanted to see me." My breasts were in-between his right arm.

Akeno quickly broke us up, with her pulling Goku over to her side. I can tell she's always going to find that a problem, despite me being Girlfriend Number 2!

"I hate to rain on your parade, Kuroka, but we're here to see Azazel. Not you." Akeno informed. "Can I have a minute of your time. It's very urgent…"

"Um, sure…"

-[30 MINUTES LATER]-

In that span of half an hour, Akeno told what had unveiled with her, Goku and their affairs with rogue Fallen Angels. The discovery of more Saiyans out there other than Goku, and this Cooler person who've gave Azazel a scare. He knows something we all don't judging from that reaction he gave…

"Are you sure you heard right? About Cooler?" Azazel wanted to make sure He looked as if the world was ending.

"I'm positive, Azazel. You know something about this Cooler person, don't you? Tell me who he is! Because he's after Goku and soon Vegeta when he comes to Earth in half a year."

"Yes, I do. Unfortunately, when you've heard his name throughout the universe, you're not supposed to come out of it alive. Where do I begin…? You four should make yourselves comfortable since what I'm about to tell you when make you change your knowledge about how the war went."

Now we're getting somewhere. There was a log long enough for Akeno, Goku and I to sit as there was one for Azazel and Vali. Goku sat in the middle, with Akeno to his left and myself to his right, hugging him tight. Vali was on Azazel's left side as they sat down too…

"To start off, I know the truth about the Saiyans with our race, the REAL truth about how they were manipulated by the Evil Tyrant of the universe, Frieza."

"Frieza!?" Everyone but Goku repeated.

"Yeah. It was him that tricked the Saiyans into almost committing genocide to the Devils and Angels. You see, the Saiyans were his personal slaves and when he had no use for them, he threw them away like trash. Thus, killing them off with an attack that destroyed their home planet, Planet Vegeta. And what's even worse is that he has an older brother, Cooler."

"How very interesting. What makes Cooler more terrifying than Frieza?" I asked, seeing Azazel all worked up.

Azazel deeply sighed, his left foot was tapping fast. "Cooler is much more stronger than his brother. Much like his brother, he was very well acquainted with the Saiyans, Devils and Angels. The strongest of each of the races attended to Cooler for a meeting, along with King Vegeta III. We knew right away that he wasn't to be messed with because unlike his brother, Cooler doesn't show to mess with his food. He just straights up kills you on the spot if something is wrong…"

"You've met him before, Azazel!?" Vali cuts in, shocked as his eyes were opened.

"Hmph. In certain circumstances, some might say it would be a blessing to see another Emperor of the Universe, but it was hell. I felt the power of Cooler by his presence alone. And you're saying this Saiyan named Vegeta killed his brother, Frieza!?"

"That's what he said, yes." Akeno replied.

"Kch… Then we're really in trouble. It's one thing to pose as a threat, but to kill his someone in his family? Cooler doesn't give a damn much about his family, but if his family's name is tarnished by a Saiyan, he's definitely coming in hot with an iron fist!"

"How strong is he?" Goku asked, causing me to widened my eyes. Why would he say that?

"Goku… Cooler has his own squadron of warriors and has at least 256 planets in his control."

"N-No way!" said Vali, eyes shaking. "What sort of madman would conquer that many planets alone?"

"It's true. The last time I've met Cooler nor Frieza was 25 years ago. And you're saying he wants to come here to kill you, Son Goku?"

"Err… Yeah."

"And that's why we're here. I need your help to protecting Goku until we can figure out a way to defeat Cooler when he arrives." Akeno cuts in.

"Oh? Is that right? Well, first in foremost, you can cut the act, you two. I know Goku's a Saiyan…"

In a split frame, Goku and Akeno's eyes rose open as they were shocked to the bone on their secret being found out. This included me! I have a thing for Goku! He's my hot Saiyan boyfriend for Kami sake! How the fuck did he find out he's a Saiyan!? I was able to keep this a secret…

"H-How did you know?" Akeno politely asked. "I did everything right in making sure I would keep that a secret…"

"Why, it's simple, Himejima." Azazel said, softly grinning as his right knuckles were on his right cheek. "It's because of the way you reacted whenever something would happen to Goku. Think about it. You used to have a crush on Issei Hyoudou, right? Then things changed and now you're in love with Son Goku here who just so happens to be a Saiyan. Knowing this, I've done a background check some time ago and found out you adore Saiyans more than Issei."

"Background check? So, I was suspicious from the very start?"

"Only when you're acting overprotective over Son Goku, yes." He nodded. "Another thing that tipped me was Kuroka's sudden affection for him, too. Just now, what she did a hundred percent confirmed it to me."

"K-Kuroka!?" Akeno turned to me, annoyed.

"Err… I don't know what you're talking about, Himejima." I nodded my head left and right, eyes closed for a brief moment. "I never told a soul that Goku was a Saiyan."

"You didn't have too, Kuroka. It was obvious. I put two and two together. Your quest on making the strongest offsprings requires a strong breeder, to which, we all know Saiyans are literally the strongest race out of the three."

"Well, it all checks out. I guess we can stop trying to act like I'm weak, Akeno." Goku said, looking at me.

"I wish I could say that were the case, but I'm not so sure we can trust Azazel, Goku…"

"You don't have to worry. Rest easy when I say your relationship with Goku is safe with me." Azazel cuts in, ensuring he would keep his ethnicity a secret.

"W-What…?" Goku and Akeno said, eyes opened.

"It's my fault for not tell you this sooner, but now would be a good time to tell you this, Son Goku." Azazel cleared his throat. "Saiyans are extinct. There's no doubt about that. But after confirming it by you, there are more Saiyans out there that are alive. And because of that, it changes everything."

"Everything?" Vali repeated.

"You don't have to worry about Goku being a Saiyan. I'm not one to hold grudges about what happened in the war. Much like with you, Himejima, I know the truth about what really transpired. The Saiyans were actually victims throughout that entire time period."

They are, huh? This is news to me. I've read about how they could potentially be the ones who were victims but hearing it from Azazel's mouth certainly makes it believable. Then again, it does make sense. Saiyans are brutes from what I've heard from my friends, but Goku's none of what the tales tell me. He's so… innocent…

"Goku, now that I know you're a Saiyan, your secret will be safe with me. I promise you that. I just need your help with a few things that's boggling my mind."

"Sure. What's up?"

"Back in the Underworld, I got a distress signal from a planet that's a victim to the Frieza Force. As of now, since his death, their planet's healing, but it all came to an end when more of the Force came and conquered their world. This was a request given to me about a week ago. I would've gone to take care of it but—"

"But you're busy with this anomaly." Akeno cuts in.

Azazel nodded, confirming Himejima's words to be true. "Yes. Which leads me to another matter of a situation that will come to get us all unless we take care of it now. It's this anomaly." He pointed. "Most of my men have died trying to enter it and maybe it's because they weren't strong enough. Goku, how confident are you in terms of strength?"

"Hehe! I'm really strong, Azazel, dude!" Goku replied as his placed his hands behind his head. "But I don't have a lot of energy at the moment. It's still trying to come back to me. Slowly, but it's coming back."

"I-I see. And why is that?"

"It's 'cause it took a lot out of me when I defeated Frieza back on Namek. When I was in my Super Saiyan form, I didn't realize it took a whole lot out of me."

"Super Saiyan!?" Vali and I repeated, shocked.

"Yeah. I can transform." Goku smiled.

"Dear, you have the ability to turn into a transformation from your race's legend?"

"Mhm. Though, I can't turn into one now 'cause my energy isn't replenish yet. Frieza was really strong, but he soon realized he was no match."

"And now you're wanted by his older brother." Azazel added. "Back to what I'm asking here, you two. Goku, you are a Saiyan. With your figure and physique, how would you like to go inside this anomaly?"

"Absolutely not!" Akeno stood up. "For what purpose do you want my boyfriend to enter inside something that could potentially kill him!?"

"We don't know what's on the other side of this strange anomaly. But what we do know is that it poses as a threat that if we don't investigate this, it'll come to bite us in the ass later."

"I see now. This is to just further your curiosity, huh? You don't know if Goku can survive this! For Kami sake, he just got out of a battle with Frieza!"

"And that means he's the right man. Kuroka told us best, remember? The anomaly had goo that came in contact with Goku and her. As you were told, this anomaly killed my men. This same anomaly, and yet… these two here are fine? It's because of Goku that Kuroka's in one piece.

Hearing that, I kissed Goku, causing him to blush…

"Goku will be alright. His skin is much thicker than most Angels give him credit for and because he has the transformation that Frieza feared, he's the perfect man for the job! How 'bout it?"

-(First Person POV)-(Akeno)-

This isn't me being selfish, no. I'm genuinely concerned for Goku should he actually take up Azazel's request. I believe him when he said he won't hold his secret over our head He just wants to use him like how he's sort of, in a way, is currently using Issei for his own personal agenda…

"Let me talk to Goku over there, will ya?" I pointed to the tree for us to have a moment to ourselves.

"Sure thing…"

As Kuroka lets go of Goku, he and I walked over to the trees to our left, leaving Azazel, Vali and Kuroka to have their own conversation. The one thing I envy about Goku is that he doesn't have to worry about thinking this long and hard on what to do next in order to keep us safe. Even though I have insurance for us, it's still a pain to think Goku's worth this much to all Fallen Angels and Devils. I don't even want to know what would happen if Rias were to found out…

"Hey, so do I say yes?" Goku asked.

"Goku… we don't know if you're going to come out of it alive. You heard him, right? 12 of his men immediately died from contact for the first time. You may have dealt with it before with the goo version with Kuroka, but it's different with this anomaly. I don't—I don't want to see you evaporate in front of my eyes."

And there it is. My super overly protectiveness came out of me since I love Goku so, so much. I really can't help it. My relationship with him became so much more than when I started developing feelings for Issei. When I showed how sad I would get, Goku softly smiled as he gently head patted me…

"There, there, Akeno. You don't have to worry about me. I'm not like Azazel's men. I'm a Saiyan who's really strong in this world. Aside from Cooler and possibly Vegeta once he gets here. But nonetheless, I'm kind of interested to see what's on the other side."

"Goku…"

"Think about it, Akeno! What if this anomaly is my way back home? I mean, don't get me wrong, you know I love you and I wouldn't want to leave you, but I also miss my friends. Krillin, Piccolo, my son, everyone. It's been 2 whole months since I've been here and frankly it's still a lot to take in."

"Would you want to come back to your world?" I asked, sad.

"If this anomaly serves as some sort of transportation, then yup! As long as there's a bridge, I'll come back here! I promise, Akeno."

"You're so silly, Goku." I softly giggled.. "OK, let's do it. Let's head back to the others to give them our answer."

"Sure thing! You rock, Akeno!"

"Not as much as you, honey." I replied, kissing him.

When the two of us came back, the three of them were waiting for us as they all stood up. Together, all of us headed to the anomaly that still struck its presence to the ground, to which, is concealed by the barrier Azazel made…

"So… Goku, what's your answer?" Azazel asked him, curious as a cat.

Goku crossed his arms, smiling as his eyes were closed. "You got yourself a deal, Azazel!" he nodded. "Now that more people know I'm a Saiyan underneath that Raynare lie, I can finally stop holding back my energy a little!"

"Haha, that's perfect!" Azazel gave him the thumbs up.

"Oh, that's reminds me. Now that you all know, that means we don't have to lie to you guys about Raynare being a threat, right?"

"I'm not so sure about that, honey." I cut in. "Remember my dream. Vegeta was with Raynare. And we all know she's bad news."

"If your dream is actually served as a premonition, then that means she could potentially be alive somehow." Vali added. "And if she's heading to Earth with this Saiyan you call Vegeta…"

"Then that means she along with the other Saiyan could be bad news…" Kuroka finishes Vali's sentence.

"Now hold on a second, guys! You guys don't know Vegeta like I do! Saying stuff like that could really come back to bite you in the butt!" Goku said, defending his "friend."

"That may be, but reminder, Goku, not all Saiyans are good as Azazel and your girlfriend say they are. Some could be a few bad apples." Said Vali.

"Vali…" Goku admitted to himself that Vali brought up a good point and here's why. His older brother, when he first came to Earth to his world, was a real jerk. Not to mention his Vegeta and Nappa when they first came.

"For now, we keep this to ourselves, everyone. If word gets out that Goku's a Saiyan and how there are two more coming in half a year, all hell would break loose. I couldn't even begin to fathom what would happen if the people from the Underworld caught wind of this."

Yeah… and Rias too. She'll do whatever it takes to ensure all of them are dead. Nappa, Vegeta, and my Goku…. I have to make sure nothing gets out of hand. Seeing as though we're all in agreement here, I can trust Azazel and Vali. They won't tell a soul…

"So, when do I get to dive into this anomaly thingy, Azazel?" Goku asked, scratching his legs. "And this planet that's crying for help?"

"For starters, the planet can wait, along with the anomaly."

"Say what now?"

Azazel begins to explain his reason as to why with his left index finger up. "As long as this barrier holds, this anomaly won't pose us a threat. That, I guarantee you that much. As for the planet that called in from a distress signal. The planet is called Yardrat. One of the remains of the Frieza Force came to that planet a week ago to collect goods and valuable intel. So far, things are resorting fine without violence. But that's about to come to an end as one of the people there told me they overheard their planet was scheduled to get destroyed by the Frieza Force…"

"Grrr… so even in death Frieza still holds his selfish needs in exchange of people's lives!? How long do they got before it's time, Azazel?"

"2 weeks. Which means they don't got long. I want you to head over there, but we've got no ship prepared for you at the moment."

"That's terrible! Azazel, we can't just let what remains of the Frieza Force terrorize the people there!" I said, worrying for them.

"Not to worry, Himejima. I'm one step ahead of ya. Back in the Underworld, I have some of my best men fixing up a spaceship for you, Goku. You see, I had a feeling the moment I saw you for the first time that you were a Saiyan, that you were special. And boy, was I right. The ship will be complete in two weeks, just about a day before Planet Yardrats' death certificate comes to fruition."

"Alright! You're not too bad, Azazel, dude! You're all right, you know that?" Goku said, expressing his happiness by shaking both his hands up and down, making me and Kuroka to laugh. Vali to chuckle a little due to his amusement.

"Hmph. You're a strange man, Goku." He admitted. "So there's that. For now, I want you to prepare for Cooler's up and coming. If he's really coming for revenge, I should warn you that he's not as patient as his brother is. He'll kill you on the spot, wasting no time."

Goku gulped. "Gosh, then I better get started on training. If I want to get back to full strength to pull out Super Saiyan, I've got to get back every ounce of energy I lost!"

"That's the spirit, Goku. Talking like a proud Saiyan." Azazel proudly grinned at my boyfriend as I couldn't help but feel happy for him, too.

"I'll do whatever it takes to help you regain what you lose, honey! You can count on me!" I promised him.

"Yeah." Goku nodded back.

"Things from here on out will certainly be interesting, won't they?" Vali said.

"Got that right. But I know that in my heart, my handsome little Saiyan will prevail. He'll kick that Cooler in where the sun don't shine!" Kuroka clenched her fists while smiling at Goku.

So the anomaly and Planet Yardrats' situation are going to be put on hold as we're now dealing with a much greater threat. Frieza's older brother, Cooler. I wonder what he looks like. Either way, it's time I help Goku get back all his strength! There's no time to waste…!


Late Morning

11:38:09 AM

West City Beach (PRESENT TIME…)


-(First Person POV)-(Akeno)-

Okay… okay… maybe I exaggerated on the part where I said I'd help Goku get back his strength. Hey, I wasn't lying when I said that. I do mean it! But, before I do that, I wanted Goku and I to go on a date before we enter the finale of all this. And what better way to spend our first ever date than to head to beach, right…?

Haha! Man, the beach is as crowded as I remembered. School may be here, but it's still sizzling hot. Spending our time together on a Saturday, there's nothing I'd like more.

For our date, I managed to pack a little more than I could chew with food but since my boyfriend's a Saiyan, it's practically normal with for his standards. Speaking of my boyfriend, it seems Goku's having the time of his life. He was in the water, while in his orange and blue swimming trunks, having fun. While I was on the sand, underneath the umbrella. I picked a pretty good spot on the beach…

"Haha! Hey, Akeno! Why don't you head in the water with me! It's really fresh and clear! It's really great!" Goku said, waving his arm at me.

"OK! Coming, honey!" I said, running to him as I finished up my cut sandwich.

(A/N: The bikini Akeno is wearing is the same one from the anime, specifically Season 2 Episode 7).

Goku wasn't kidding. The water feels so nice. Thank goodness I finished my sandwich before heading to the water or else I would've made the bread soggy. Looking at Goku, he was so carefree. I don't know how he does it but when push comes to shove, he just brushes it off with a smile. With him being a target, he simply doesn't care. Rather, he's anxious to fight those that are going to combat him in the near future…

"I told you, haha!" Goku said, splashing water at me. "I wonder if it's a crime for a Saiyan like me to be out this long in public."

"As long as it doesn't involve time, you should be fine." I said, turning around to the occupied beach. "We definitely made it on time to find a good spot, didn't we?"

"Yeah. No kidding. I thought we would have to go to spot closer to land and far away from the water. But it's thanks to your keen eyesight we were able to! That's Akeno! It's a great day to go to the beach."

His praising made blush. "Well, I had to treat us to something, Goku. After keeping yourself a secret for 2 months, I thought I should reward my Saiyan boyfriend. Speaking of which, can I ask you something?"

"What's up?" Goku's face was in the water, but just half-way. He was blowing the water to making bubbles.

"Everything that's about to happen after today, from this point on, we have to be careful. You know that, right?"

Goku's head rose from the water as he nodded his head. "Mhm. Of course. You said back at our house we should take a relaxing day today and then after that, you help me gain back my strength so I can defeat Cooler, then go at it with Vegeta if he's trouble with Raynare."

"That's correct, honey, word for word. Good job." I head patted him. "Regardless, by doing this, the moment we help you get back to full strength, you'll be exposed and everyone will know you're a Saiyan. I'm not trying to get you to think, but we have to prepare for the worst."

"Yeah, I know. I don't think it'll be a problem because once I turn Super Saiyan, things should be good on our part. Rias won't be able to recognize me!"

"Hmm… I like your thinking, Goku. Let's hope she doesn't when your hair turns golden." I said, worrying for the best outcome from when that day comes. "I don't like to ruin our day with things such as that, but if worst comes to worst…"

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there, Akeno. Now, I got something to show you!" Goku said with excitement in his voice."

"Hmm? What's up?" I wondered as I tilted my head to the left a little.

"It's something that's gonna shock you! Hehe!"

"Oh? A surprise? Now I'm even more curious as to what this surprise may be. Well, where is it?"

"Be right back!" Goku held his breath and went under water.

Whatever this surprise is, it got Goku to get all excited. It must be a seashell or something. I'm not going to expect much, but since it's Goku, I'm going to love it anyway! I wonder if it's because he's a Saiyan, my boyfriend, or both. It's both. By the time I finished trying to figure out what Goku might give to me, he came back up…

"Ah! Here's what I was talking about. Look." Goku showed me his right hand that had what he wanted to show me.

It was glowing bright orange, radiating such a color that could be worth billions and billions of Zeni. And the strange thing about it, I've seen it before. Yes… I have! It's a bright orange orb, a small one at that. With four stars showing, he's… he found a Dragon Ball…!

"A Dragon Ball!?" I said, shocked.

Goku happily grinned. "Not just any Dragon Ball, the 4-Star Ball my Grandpa gave me when I was little!"

"I see. That explains why you were so eager to show me. This Dragon Ball from this world must be what fuels your memory of your Grandpa…" I said, finding it adorable he has something that was like a memento. "That's wonderful, Goku. You must feel so happy to rekindle something that was once yours."

"You betcha, Akeno! I guess you can say it's some kind of coincidence, huh? Grandpa's always watching over me, whether I'm in this world or the next."

"We should celebrate, then! I know! How about a feast, Goku? At the hotel inn we're staying at for tonight? It's all you can eat at the expense of staying there." I suggested.

"Are you kidding!? Yeah! Let's head out!"

"Sure." I nodded. "But before we go, we have to hide that Dragon Ball. Don't get me wrong, I know how much that Dragon Ball means to you. But we can't let anyone else find out you've got one-seventh of the collection or else."

"Yeah, I got you. I'll make sure to hide it somewhere at our house. Now let's go eat!"


Afternoon

1:02:09 PM

Satan's Hotel Inn, Dining Room…


-(First Person POV)-(Akeno)-

It shouldn't come to a surprise to see my boyfriend eat like a bottomless pit, really. He IS a Saiyan, after all. It's to be expected. Though, it'll always surprise me to see the amount of bowls and plates stacked upon each other after finishing them. He never cease to amaze me. Not to mention the people around us, too. It seems they lost their appetite seeing Goku eat.

As to what happened to the Dragon Ball Goku found underneath the water at the beach, it's in our room up on the 50th floor, in my bag. Wouldn't want to it to be that noticeable if it's just on our bed or something. From the kitchen and back, there were multiple workers coming in and out with food for Goku. I swear, he's going to make this inn run out of the food supplies if this keeps up…

"Ahmm! Mmm! Yummy! That's so good!"

"If it wasn't for the fact that I had a discount here, the bill would be overpriced, to say the least." I said, admiring his stuffed face. "Eat as much as you like, Goku. You earned it."

"You hardly had any, Akeno. Just 5 plates? You should eat more!" Said Goku, trying to speak with his mouth full.

"I would but my belly would pop if I had to digest that much in me, you know. I am a girl, you goofball. I have a figure to maintain."

"OK. More for me, then! Excuse me! More spaghetti, please! And more pasta, too!"

After about 40 minutes of him shoving loads amount of food, he was finally full. The last thing he ate before he called it was two ramen bowls. Drinking the soup, he gently placed the last bowl down and burped, releasing a big, happy sigh…

"Ahh! That hit the spot!" Goku said, rubbing his stomach. "I wonder how much bowls that was."

"Counting the plates the tables you took up with them, all together, it's 300 total. A new record!" I said, clapping my hands slowly smiling. "And here I thought Issei could eat. You really are one of a kind."

"It's that a good thing?"

"With every fiber in my being, Goku, yes." I replied, nodding my head slowly. "It's still early in the day, huh? What do you say we go see a movie? My treat."

"Ehh… I'm not very fond of movies, Akeno. I would rather eat more food or fight." Goku said with a little disappointment in his voice.

"I thought you might say that. So not to worry, My Love! There's this one movie all about food. Where this person who's driven to be the best in the world, the best chef. But to do that, he has to go through numerous challenges and compete with other chefs to earn the title of the best! Seeing this movie, we'll see the process of them making tasty food I might replicate…"

"Well, you should've said that in the first place! Consider me sold, Akeno!" Goku gave me a thumbs up after a hearing. "What's the movie called?"

"To Be the Greatest Chef." I answered, causing him to fall back on his seat.

"Err… the name certainly is interesting, haha. If it wasn't for you telling me what it's about, then the title itself would a dead giveaway…"

"I thought the same thing. Now c'mon! It's in fifteen minutes! It's just 3 blocks away from this inn. We can make it on time if we hurry now!"

"R-Right…!"


9:13:49 PM

Late Evening

West City, MADE Summer Festival…


-(First Person POV)-(Akeno)-

The entire day I spent with my Goku was so amazing, I couldn't exactly put it in better words. I actually enjoyed the movie we went to go see, if I'm going to be frank. I'm usually a sucker for other genres like horror, but the protagonist was a female that had a love interest. Eventually, they got together at the end of the movie and got married.

As for Goku, he really enjoyed it. Well, mostly the parts that involved the making of food the chefs in that film dished out. Overall, it was a fun experience. After the movie, we went bowling. Goku couldn't hold back his power, not even a tiny amount because whenever he threw the bowling ball, the pins exploded and the wall behind it got destroyed. So overall, I won.

For the next couple of hours, we went to carnival. The rides weren't all that since we could fly, but I did managed to hold onto Goku's arms every time we went on one. So there's that. He won me multiple stuff animals. I specifically liked this one green octopus he got me. It was very cute.

There was also a haunted house we went to. Usually, stuff like that don't scare me but this year, those people stepped up their game. Every jump scare, I shrieked at every chance I could take. As for Goku, he would laugh it off.

And finally, as of now, we went to a festival…

"Hmm? Oh, you're out, Akeno." Goku said as he saw me in a yukata. It was a purple yukata with blue star flowers everywhere.

"So… how do I look, Goku?" I asked him while blushing. My hair was down, brushed all the way so I could show off to Goku.

"You look very handsome!" Goku responded, giving me a thumbs up.

"Err…" When he called me handsome, I let out a giggle. I forgot he's not good with compliments to a girl. "Thank you, honey. But I look… cute?"

Goku's eyes opened. "Cute? What does that mean?"

"It's another word for attractive, lovely appealing." My cheeks were still blushing, making it more noticeable than ever.

And believe it or not, he caught on to it. My cherry-colored cheeks were in his line of sight, so he knew the answer I wanted to hear. So, as he was about to respond, he softly head patted me…

"Yeah. You look absolutely cute, Akeno. You're killing this look!"

"Goku…" I couldn't help but smile so big. We kissed and locked arms together as we walked through the festival. "I really enjoyed today, Goku. It was so much fun. More fun than what I've imagined."

"Yeah, no kidding. Aside from going to art museums, things that weren't really my cup of tea, I enjoyed everything we did today. It was a good day for sure." Goku said, grabbing candy apples for the both of us. "But… Akeno, things like today won't last, will they?"

"Unfortunately, you're right. That's partly one of the reasons why I wanted to spend all day with you alone, without Kuroka. You know I'll always love you with all my heart. There are going to be times where danger will interrupt what peaceful moments we have, such as this one."

"I know. And I'll be there to kick their butts, whoever it is. Whether it's Cooler or anyone else in his family, you know you can count on me."

After we finished our candy apples, we stopped by some railings on some very long ramps connected to stairs that lead to more festival booths below us. It was almost time for fireworks to commence. From where we are, I would say we picked a nice spot to view them all…

"I used to come to the MADE Summer Festival a lot with Rias when we were little. I very much enjoyed coming here every year with my best friend. Then things got out of hand when the two of us expanded with her peerage. Not that I don't mind, it's just… things like this, what we're doing, I'd love to savor it with the person I love. I love Rias and the others to death, but it feels so different when I'm with you, Goku…"

"It definitely feels that way."

"When Rias and Issei got together, they went to the festival last year, just them. I didn't go. It was the first time I've ever skipped such amazing event." I bear hugged his right arm. "It scenes like this, I could see why they would go alone."

"So that means you chose today because it was not only our day to ourselves, but also because of the MADE Summer Festival, huh? To be with someone alone? Someone you… love?"

I nodded my head up and down, smiling with my eyes closed." Yes. You are correct. You can either go with close friends or go with the one you truly love. It fits our dating agenda, doesn't it?"

"Seeing how you planned everything out, then yup!" Goku could tell how I really wanted this. This day particularly was all arranged. That much he could see through. But that wasn't all he see. He also saw the look I was giving when I wasn't giving him my attention. "You okay, Akeno?"

"Goku… are you, by any chance, afraid?"

"Afraid? Of what? Being your girlfriend? Nope. Though, the only I am concerned about is the food bill my stomach always dishes out."

"No, no, no. Not that. I'm talking about him, Goku. Cooler."

"Frieza's older brother…" His voice raised a little. "Is today's date also why you wanted us to be alone together?"

"It's just… I don't know. I brought you over to this world after your fight with Frieza from your world. But you were depleted of energy. It's been 2 months since you've been here and you're STILL not at the strength you'd hoped to be. And to make matters worse, you've got a big fight ahead of you. If your powers don't return, then you could end up like the Goku in this world. I love you too much to lose you, Goku, I—"

"We'll figure out a way to win, Akeno. When Cooler comes, I'll make sure he doesn't hurt a fly. Sometimes it's best to let stuff happen in hoping it could resort in your favor. I've never been wrong about that stuff before, and I'm not about to BE wrong for the first time."

Words of encouragement, of hope that this world and the next needs. I could always count on Goku to pep talk me about the world resting on our shoulders, his shoulders. Every planet being held captive at his mercy, the palm of his hands, Goku will be the one that will shed light throughout the universe. That much, I can count on…

"Sometimes I forget you're the same gluttony Saiyan I fell in love with, Goku. Make sure you win. For me and everyone in the universe."

"You got it."

The two of us were about to kiss until the fireworks finally came. The people in the festival, including us, were all admiring the style the workers dished out. In the sky were different combinations of explosives. One of the fireworks were displaying a beautiful view of the FLOWER ROAD by BIGBANG. That was highlight of the fireworks, at least in my opinion…

"How pretty…" I said, giving praises to the workers who managed to pull off one of BIGBANG's promotional hits. "Look at all those flowers…"

"All lined down for the Flower Road, eh? That's pretty clever."

"There's a meaning behind that, Goku. The Flower Road you see represents the road we could walk on, filled with happiness and success together. To be with someone, you can walk on the Flower Road when it blooms."

"How very meaningful…" Goku admitted as his eyes were still captured by the fireworks. "If I'm going to be honest, Akeno, here's what I think of the Flower Road after hearing your depiction of it."

"Shoot."

"Whether you're talking a break on the road, or if you're leaving that person you care about, I think the Flower Road represents yourself waiting for that other person that left to wait on the spot. Roots flowers on the way you go. And if you miss it, you can always come back to the Flower Road. If we were on that road and you wanted to leave, Akeno, I'll scatter flowers on the road you'll walk on."

Goku's take on the FLOWER ROAD actually makes sense. It felt as if it was deep. For someone who's all brawn but little brain, he certainly have ways to make people who think dumb people are idiots chew their own words…

"If I were to leave you, Goku, I would miss all the times I've had with you. Should that happens, I'll come back to you and I'll fall in love with you again. You and me on the Flower Road—"

"Yeah. I'll wait for you." Goku said, smiling.

(A/N: Their conversation about the FLOWER ROAD is just a reference to BIGBANG'S song they released in 2018. I basically used the lyrics in that song in their conversation).

The fireworks were still ongoing, but after our own version of what the FLOWER ROAD could mean, my heart skipped a beat. I felt as if I got butterflies in my stomach. I think that was one of the most romantic things Goku had ever said. At this moment, we were looking straight at each other, ignoring what was going on in the background. It would be logical to kiss each other, right? Well… I wonder what's stopping me. I've kissed him plenty of times before and yet… why does it feel like if I kiss him, it'll be the last time I could do so? It must be the pressure of Cooler heading to Earth. Ah, it's definitely the pressure getting to me. It's best if we don't kiss anyway. It'd be too cliché with where we're at anyway…

"What beautiful fireworks…" I said, looking up as I locked arms with him.

"Yeah… Yeah, it is." Goku softly added.

-(First Person POV)-(Rias)-

What part of "I'm dating Issei now so back off!" don't they understand? Honestly, Asia and Koneko are going to be a thorn in my side if this keeps up. And don't even get me started on Xenovia and the others. Ugh… getting some alone time sure does the trick. Where we were at, there wasn't a clear view for the fireworks. Sucks how I couldn't spend this year with Issei.

Hmm? Is that—It is! It's Akeno and… Goku!

I went behind a tree that was meters behind them. But it was close enough to hear in on their conversation. I didn't expect to run into these two at the MADE Summer Festival. Then again, Akeno didn't go last year so it makes sense for her to go this year. And with Goku, no doubt. Interesting…

"It's been 2 months since you've been here and you're STILL not at the strength you'd hoped to be. And to make matters worse, you've got a big fight ahead of you. If your powers don't return, then you could end up like the Goku in this world. I love you too much to lose you, Goku, I—"

What? Fight? Who's Goku going to fight if she's worrying? I thought Goku said he wasn't a fighter. And now I'm hearing about how he could end up with the Goku of this world? What's going on here!? Wait, did she just say she LOVES him!? Eh…!?

Now they're talking about the FLOWER ROAD? What the heck is that? And why does Goku sound smart…?

"If we make it out alive, I'll promise to love you even more, Goku."

Goku laughed a little. "How can you love me even more?"

"Love has no boundaries." Akeno replied, kissing him on the cheek.

Those hypocritical liars! I knew they had feelings for each other! I just knew it! But why were they hiding it from me? What for!? What could be the reason as to why Akeno would hide such a thing from me…

"You think Cooler will be your greatest challenge?"

"Don't know. Probably. I fought his brother and it took every ounce of strength I had to make sure he would submit. And then there's Vegeta. Haha, he was really a tough guy!"

"He's a Saiyan, no doubt. Surprise you came out of it alive with your son and friends."

My eyes were opened as my pupils shrunk a little. What the hell did she just say? Did she say… Saiyan!? And who is this Cooler person? Wait a minute… I've heard about him before from my father…

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there, Akeno."

"Okie." Akeno noticed something on Goku's hand she was holding onto. She looks down and grabbed hold to see his fingers. "Babe, you got syrup on your fingers from the candy apple. Here, let me lick it off."

Much to Goku's comfort, Akeno began her operation. Goku's right index finger was filled with corn syrup that led her to use none other than her mouth. His entire finger was inside her mouth as she was sucking it thoroughly while eyeing Goku seductively. They were both blushing. I can tell Goku was getting turned on as his cheeks were so noticeable. His private area down there also spoke for itself. It's imprinted, but it's huge…

Akeno was also enjoying this. Teasing such a lewd act to him. As for me… I was feeling hot too. It's not every day I would see something naughty happen in front of my eyes…

"There. Your index finger's clean. Now, your middle. Come to mommy Akeno."

M-Mommy!? When did Akeno get so bold!? Goku and I were speechless to think of anything on the matter. At least I think he and I are on the same boat. Is this the reason Akeno's been acting so differently these past months? Cooler, Saiyans… where does it all tie up with Goku?

Speaking of Goku, his aura is showing. Hey, hey… what the heck!? His energy's rising! His aura was merging onto Akeno's as they were unified as one. It's like whatever Akeno's doing, she fueling Goku with energy I've never sensed in this universe, ever! It's much higher than Issei's…

"There, hmm. All done. Cleaned, My Love."

Goku gulped. "Y-You're… you're really something else, Akeno."

"Anything for you— Goku… do you feel that? Your energy— it's all here! It's back!"

"Huh!?Goku widened his eyes. "Hey, you're right! Wow, it's all back! I guess your finger sucking distracted me from realizing it came back. But how? I thought it was impossible."

"Perhaps it's because of the fact I was sucking you, Goku. I must be some kind of energy source for you."

"But we tried that method before. What's different this time?"

Akeno blushed. "M-Maybe it's because of the power of love? I don't know. I'm just throwing out random words. Whatever it is I've done, it gave you your full strength back! I don't believe in coincidences, but something tells me we were ACTUALLY made for each other!"

"Hee-hee! Alright! Looks like I get to fight Cooler with all my full power, after all! Let's just hope Rias and the others doesn't find out."

Find out? About what…?

"She won't have to, honey. She won't put two and two together that my boyfriend is a Saiyan from another world."

At that moment, I got angry. I got so angry, I gritted my teeth. My widened eyes continued its shape much like my small, dilated pupils. In front of me is a Saiyan whose kind is responsible for almost murdering my family and friends back then. And he's from another world, huh? What do I do? I want to kill Goku, but he's Akeno's lover? Ugh… How on Kami's Earth did this happen…?

"Oh, look. The fireworks are done. Let's head back to the inn, shall we?" Akeno suggested."

"Sure! This time, let me fly you, Akeno! I'll show you the power of a Saiyan!" Goku said as he carried her in his arms.

"I'm looking forward to it, handsome." Akeno responded, flirting with Goku with a lustful grin.

As their merged aura was still there, Goku jumped into the air and within a blink of an eye, he, with Akeno in his arms, flew off to whatever inn they were staying at. He flew so fast, I could barely see him in the sky. His speed's impeccable. He could give Issei a run for his Zeni.

A lot of things aren't making sense here. Goku's story about reviving his family, his run in with Raynare. If he's a Saiyan, he should have had no problem in taking down that Fallen Angel. What's he playing at with Akeno? Don't tell me he corrupted her with his influence! Putting on a fake persona!? How dare he do that to my best friend! I don't know much about Goku, but I do know enough that he's not to be trusted and that he's controlling Akeno. Not to mention, he's a filthy Saiyan monkey…

"Oh, there you are, Rias. Hmm? You look so intense. Did something happen?"

"Eh!?" I turned my head and was met with Issei behind me. He was dumbfounded and saw me on edge. "Issei…" I said his name, intensely sweating. Things are about to take a turn from here on out.

11:38:04 PM

Earth, Space…


-(First Person POV)-(Cooler)-

We got to Earth in just a matter days. From where we were when we heard in on the Saiyan monkeys' conversation, I just had to head over here at full throttle. I dare say it's going to be a long-time coming when I meet the two Saiyans who murdered my idiot brother from both worlds. I am curious to see what this other world looks like. So, it would be in my best interests to keep him alive until I can come over to that world…

"We've arrived at Earth, Lord Cooler." Salza said, bowing his head.

"Hmph." My hoverchair lead me to the big screen in front of myself and my men. "Salza, is everything in order?"

"Sir, yes, sir!" He stood up and saluted me. "With the flying drones made with advance technology from Planet Iron, we'll use them to scout out Earth. To look for the Saiyan named Goku."

"How many did we take from them before leaving?"

"Roughly about 30, sir." Salza responded. "We could've snatched over a hundred, but those numbers aren't as advanced as the 30 we got."

"Hmph. It's doesn't matter. Have the drones deploy all over the places the Saiyan is at. I want all angles on him. If he's from another world, we have to be wary of what he can do."

"But he's a monkey, sir. I doubt he has secrets that would surprise you."

I grinned at him. "That may be true, but my brother thought the same and look where it lead him. May I remind you, I'm nothing like my brother. I get the job done and I don't toy around with my weak enemies."

"I-I never meant to offend you, My Lord. Forgive me."

"Just have the drones sent out on the location I pinpointed. Have them ready when afternoon strikes. While you're at it, get the other two to help you." I ordered.

"As you wish, Lord Cooler." He bowed and left me alone as I took my attention back to viewing Earth up here.

One Saiyan here and one in half a year. It would save me a lot of trouble if both of them were here on Earth so I can kill two birds with one stone. But revenge is such a delicacy I always enjoyed savoring. So be it. I can have my time with Vegeta when he gets here. As for the monkey from the other world, I'm going to make sure I extract everything from him about this other world and kill him right after.

Like I said, no one messes with my family and live to tell about it. I'm driven with the soul purpose of not only ruling this universe, but the next in his. Goku, after I kill you, I'll make sure to turn this planet and everyone you love into dust.

I hope you're ready for what's in store in just a couple of hours…

End of Chapter 5…


A/N: Goku's talk about the FLOWER ROAD was very OOC and I'll admit that. Doesn't fit his character so I'll stop it there. However, the OOC with his "love" for Akeno is due to her wish. LOVE is the thing that drove Goku to feel something he hardly feels, so for him to love Akeno, it's like learning a new technique only except what he's learning about her will make him realize that. He's also paying his debt to her.

I don't see how hard it is to see that. Like Jesus fuckin' Christ, how do you not know what you're reading. I made it as simple as possible. It baffles me, honestly. Then I remember, Dragon Balls can't read (no offense).

Next couple of chapters will be serious ones filled with materials covered from the Cooler's Revenge movie. With of course some new stuff aligned with it such as the DxD characters. Other than that, I hope you all enjoyed this somewhat wholesome chapter 'cause I did. It was really fun to make :)

Raiver Abrego: I'm not mad when I say this, so I'm just going to go on ahead here. Goku is OOC, but he isn't too OOC. The only thing that's OOC is him loving Akeno and that's only because of Akeno's wish. You also need to reread the story to answer your own questions. You're asking me how are the Saiyans here? What? It's another world Goku got transported to, so things are obviously much different there. History is different. It's literally mentioned about their part in the world Goku's in. It's not the DBZ world, Einstein. It's not rocket science. It's another world filled with Devils and Fallen Angels with Saiyan survivors. Also, where in the reviews does it say it's him, it's him? No one said that. You're deluding yourself. You can feel sorry for the guy who paid me, and rate this story however you want, you just need to know what you're writing before submitting this review 'cause what I read, this review makes no sense other than the standard parts. Also, this isn't DBS Goku, it's DBZ Goku. I'm sure he's familiar with a kiss since he kissed Chi-Chi in the Cell Saga. At least, I think. It's just bad writing in DBS when Goku said that shit in the Black Arc.

TheJSmooth: Ty.

stroziercameron: Yes, he is. King Cold is alive and well. Sorry for the future spoilers.

twisterblake2015: No, I won't. Goku Black is an evil doer who hates mortals in general. He's also Zamasu, so I think it'd be nightmare to him if he ever gets a harem.

fanfictionboy1998: ty.

666: Yes, they're aware of the real reason behind the war thanks to working under Cooler. And maybe for your answer about the new and upcoming DBSxFT story.

Guest: Maybe. We'll just have to find out, won't we?

goku2134: ty!

I am vegito: ty!

Alchazar: No, he won't get nerfed. I'm not doing my handsome Saiyan like that :) And ty.

Later.
