The tears ran freely down her face, decisions were hard and she had never liked them, but this one was important, it would determine her future as a person and her relationship. She loved Kakarott dearly and didn't want to loose him, it's just now she had found herself wishing she had never met him.
She was angry that he had left the decision to her and not helped, she didn't even know which one he would prefer.
The little cottage sounded so wonderful, a nice small home that she could keep and clean, with a large garden for her, Kakarott and their children to play in. It would be like a dream come true, but at the same time a nightmare. Kakarott would be living a lie, he wouldn't see his family again and if something happened to them he would regret ever leaving. The children would be forced to grow up not knowing the truth of part of their heritage and she couldn't do that. It would all be a lie.
The only other option was to change her, to become a Sayain. She had no idea how they would do it or if it would hurt. What would happen if it went wrong? She could mutate or something. And even if it did work then would she still be herself or would she be someone else, Kakarott might stop loving her. She had a right to know the risks involved, had a right to know what is going on and if Kakarott didn't know Bardock surely did!
The narrow rooms echoed the angry sound of her footsteps as she stormed along the corridors of the home. Not only was this idea selfish but it wasn't fair to keep her ill-informed up until the last minute if she was going to choose it.
Opening the door she walked in to find Bardock and Kakarott engaged in a deep conversation, their heads snapping towards her upon immediate entrance and their conversation stopping. She didn't returned the eager smile of her lover as he walked quickly towards her, taking her into his arms and whispering apologies and romances into her ear, she stood still against him, ignoring his words.
He pulled back to look at her, his eyes soft and fearful as he tried to sense her actions. Failing as her hand swiftly met his face, his fingers immediately coming to hold his surprisingly painful cheek, looking at her with pained eyes and shock.
Chichi walked straight past him and towards the seemingly calm Bardock, she hadn't meant to hit Kakarott so hard, she could barely keep her composure when she saw his face looking at her with such pain, but he needed that, to see that she wasn't some weak human who would just be pushed around and forced to solve problems.
Kakarott watched her stroll up to his Father, his eyes still pain filled at the smack she had just given him. Maybe he was wrong to have thought she was ok about this, it was just brewing. His Father didn't look fazed at all, his face remained stern and he stood gently looking at her.
"Young lady if you have a problem you wish to express please do it verbally, do not come storming in here and start abusing your mate. Now can I help you?" Bardock's voice was calm and gentle, talking to her as if giving her advice not scolding her.
Chichi wasn't impressed; her body tensing and her voice a scream so loud it echoed through out the mansion and causing Kakarott to consider either hiding or running.
"Don't you young lady me! How dare you? First you want to use me as some guinea pig in this little machine of yours, just so you don't have to try hard to solve a problem and make me do it instead. You bring this idea to me and I don't even know what is going to happen!" Chichi's finger pointed sharply into the chest of Bardock's armour, her head barely coming up to his neck as she stared up at him, his advantage in size not even affecting her.
Bardock remained calm, Tannupa got this bad sometimes and unlike his inexperienced son he felt he could somewhat handle the situation.
"If you wanted to know what was happening dear all you had to do was come here and ask. Like you have done, but I would appreciate it if you didn't leave my son petrified in the process. Kakarott go sit with your Mother whilst I talk to Chichi and then when we've finished she'll come find you."
Kakarott remained stood in his spot, his face still one of shock as he looked at his Father. His eyes moved to Chichi, giving her a small smile before he left the room to find his Mother, he needed some advice.
Bardock listened to her worries, angers and situations, trying to be as comforting and understanding as possible. Kakarott hadn't explained the situation very well, she knew full well what was going on and what could be done but was not aware of how they worked and his son being the scientific boy that he was should have been a bit more aware that knowledge is nothing if you can't explain it.
Finally after she had finished her rant, Bardock chose carefully where to start with her list of problems.
"Chichi you don't have to do this; it's just a suggestion and I'm welcome to any ideas you have. I don't want to see any one hurt. I may be a man of battle, one of the best generals on this planet but I do not as a man who has seen how things work like seeing people who work along side me and for me hurt or killed, deceived into something they do not understand. It might hurt a little but only during the process once that is done there will be no pain. You might however experience some confusion considering this will technically be a new body for you, your features will not change, you wills till be who you are physically but your structure will be different. And no personality wise it will not change you, you will stay the way you are now. It has been tried before many times and we know the affects it can have."
"I can't think of any other way to solve this, as long as you're sure that I will not change too much and things won't go wrong… I'm wiling to go through with this"
There we go, there is that chapter sorted. Hope it was ok.
Lots of love and luck
