A/N: DB/Z is owned by Akira Toriyama only! Yes it is! Don't forget it! Ok…probably the last update you're going to get on this fic from me in a long while I'm afraid. I'm preparing for my AS Exams which are real important so I need to be concentrating on them right now. So I hope you can be patient! Heh, I'm sure you can wait heehee. Oh and just a warning…this chapter contains a lemon! (Gasp!) Yes a lemon! I haven't written one of them in ages! XD so if you aren't into that kind of thing then skip the last few paragraphs! Thanks!

-I Pray-

The sounds of shuffling and waking prisoners entered Goku's ears; disturbing him from his slumber. Well, it wasn't really a slumber. He only managed to sleep for an hour or two. He cracked open an eye and scanned the Cell. Chichi still wasn't back. He frowned and shut his eyes once more. What was that guy doing to her!

He was so anxious, so curious, and so jealous. He couldn't stand not knowing what she was doing and how long was she going to be, let alone if she was ok. He frowned harder trying to block it all out and trying to sleep again.

It had been a long night of worrying. He had paced back and forth, he had banged his head against the walls several times in frustration, and he had come close to tears. It was crazy how one person could mean so much to him all of a sudden. Sure, if he hadn't had these feelings for her he still would have worried about her, but it wouldn't have been this bad at all…it would have been far from this bad. Was one person meant to mean so much to him? He had only ever heard such things from Yamcha, about "love" and all that. But thinking about it now, it seemed as though Goku cared and felt more deeply about Chichi than Yamcha did about Bulma! And that was just….crazy! Yet…it was nice.

He grumbled to himself and clenched his eyes shut tight trying to seriously sleep this time but the opening of the Prison door woke him fully.

He sat up instantly, his eyes wide and wondering, and happily he watched as Chichi came back into the cell. His little smile faded though when she went straight to the wall of the cell and sat there bringing her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around them. Goku swallowed; his features full of sorrow for her. She looked so afraid.

Bulma was about to move to her but Chichi told her to stop.

"I'm ok" she quickly replied her tearful eyes and croaky voice almost unbearable. From her comment it was obvious how afraid and nervous she was now. That man must have really tortured her in there. Goku swallowed hard, feeling his heart rip at the seams.

He sat there for a few moments, wondering if he should try to approach her or not. After all, she needed some sort of comfort after what she just went through. He decided to move and quietly he crawled over to her. Her head was quick to snap round to look at him, her watering onyx eyes more painful to view close up.

"I'm fine, really I'm fine" she said again, her facial expression and body language telling him the complete opposite. He ignored her and sat behind her, letting his arms scoop her to him and hold her tight. He rocked her back and forth and after a few moments she cried. She didn't sob or wail, she just cried; quietly and sorrowfully. He leant his chin on her head and closed his eyes…this was where he wanted her to stay…in his arms where she was safe.

He wasn't sure how long he had comforted her for, but he now found himself leant up against the wall, his slumbering Princess in his arms. He was wide awake, his chained up hands struggling to hold her and stroke her gently at the same time. He frowned inwardly at the annoyance of the chains. It was just typical! Of all the times to be chained up, it was now! Hell, he would have given anything to be chained up and locked away if it had been a couple of years ago!

Yamcha and Krillin had decided that he should have a girlfriend and being stupid he agreed. The women they got for him were insane! They were either trying to grope him or rape him! Either way they scared him to death! He chuckled to himself and how naïve and innocent he was then. Not that he wasn't now; but he had grown up in a sense. But ever since then he had wished, hoped and prayed that he'd find someone who wasn't crazy like them, had he found her now? Had she really been there all along?

Chichi shifted slightly in his arms, knocking him out of his train of thoughts. He peered down at her and smiled gently when she cracked open her eyes and looked up at him. She caught his gaze and lightly smiled back at him.

"How are you feeling? You ok?" he whispered softly to her, his eyes penetrating deep into hers. She nodded slightly.

"I'm ok" she whispered back. He nodded back slowly.

"Ok…are you sure" She laughed gently.

"I'll be ok, don't worry" she replied very quietly before snuggling back into his warm chest. He smiled and lovingly kissed the top of her head before leaning back against the cold wall and closing his own eyes once more.

The banging of cell doors and other things woke him back up several hours later. He shifted and watched as soldiers came into the Prison, almost rushing about and collecting guns and such which Goku had only just noticed; were scattered about the place. What were they doing?

He looked across at Yamcha who gave him the same questioning look.

"Maybe a practice?" he wondered. Goku shrugged feeling uneasy. Chichi soon awoke in his arms and sat up slowly, her eyes wide and curious at the soldiers.

"What's going on?" she asked, her eyes darting from the soldiers to Goku.

"I'm not sure" he said just as curious. That's when the General walked in and not too far behind him were more prisoners…

"Alright! Let's get rid of some of them" he told the men.

"How many d'you want sir?"

"At least a dozen. We need to make room for the new ones" Goku's body froze. They were going to kill them to make room for more. Before he could say or do anything, the soldiers began to open up some of the cells and quickly they grabbed random people. The screaming and begging was overwhelming and Goku could only sit there in total agonizing shock.

"They're gonna kill them" he said in a high pitched disbelief…"They're gonna just kill them" He stood up instantly as their cell door was opened.

"Alright, let's have one of ya" the soldier said with a pistol in his grasp.

"NO!" Goku shouted standing in front of his friends, "No you won't! I won't let you!" The soldier pointed the gun at Goku's head.

"Out of the way kid!"

"No…I won't let you take them!"

"I have orders kid! And I was told not to shoot you! So get out of my way!"

"NO!" Goku shouted, his emotions coming through.

"Move it brat! Or I'll have to shoot her!" the man threatened more than seriously referring to Chichi. Goku swallowed hard, his eyes shutting in anguish…the gun gently pushing him back against the wall. The man glanced at all of his friends before pointing at Tien.

"You! Let's go!"

"NO!" Goku bellowed loudly catching nearly everyone's attention. He grabbed ontoTien not wanting to let him go. Tien could only smile at Goku.

"It's ok Goku" he said lightly as two soldiers came rushing in, tearing him from Goku's grasp. Goku's wide and frightened eyes never left him as his smile widened gently

"You've been a good friend. Just stay strong and brave for me, and I know you'll survive" he paused for a moment, "Goodbye my friends" he said before being dragged away, Goku's desperate call for him blocked out.

The cell door was locked back up; Goku only screaming in rage as the soldiers left with their victims…He ran to the cell gate banging on it and calling and shouting curses and anything else he could conjure up. The tears fell hastily down his dirty bloody face as he shook the bars and kicked and punched them in his fury. Yamcha's arms soon took hold of him, the suffering unfolding in his heart to.

"Goku please-"

"NO! I WONT LET THEM! I WONT LET THEM TAKE HIM! NO! NOT LIKE THIS!"

"Goku, there's nothing you can do…please, you're making things harder!"
"I DON'T CARE! LET ME GO!" He screamed, struggling under Yamcha's arms. Yamcha winced as Goku pushed him away and banged on the gate some more, catching the General's attention.

"WHY ASS HOLE? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? WHAT THE HELL DID WE EVER DO TO YOU?" Goku demanded loudly, his angered face streaming with innocent tears. The General walked right up to Goku and looked at him right in the eyes.

"Because I want to…because my Lord wants to" Goku snarled, his tearful face scrunched up in anger.

"Your sick! Your all SICK! You just wait! Armies will come...and they will rip you apart. In fact...i will" Goku dangerously whispered. The General chuckled.

"We'll see when the time comes" he replied before walking out of the dungeon.

There was silence…a very awkward silence. A few muffled moans and whimpers could be heard from the other villagers, but not from Goku. He sat there, his face buried in his shaking hands as he tried to control and comfort himself. He felt as though his heart was going to bleed and not stop. Two warm arms suddenly wrapped around his shoulders; almost demanding him to calm down. He let out a deep breath and leant back against her, his eyes shut, the tears ceasing for now. Chichi could only sit and hold him with sad eyes.

Minutes later there was a sad silence between the prisoners. The loss was greater than before, the sorrow filling everyone's hearts. Two new prisoners had been slung into the cell with Goku and his friends, a couple in random cells opposite. The one, Goku noted was very old. It wasn't fair for the old lady; being left to die in here like them. Then he wondered where these poor people had come from. There were a couple of villages around the area but they were pretty spanned out. They must have been walking for Miles.

"Why did they take Tien?" Krillin suddenly questioned out loud, "What are they going to do with him?" he said desperately, 18's hands coming to rest on his shoulder comforting him. Goku didn't look at Krillin and decided not to answer either. Wasn't it obvious? They were going to kill Tien and those other innocent people just to make more room and grant more pleasure to that sick headed General.

"I'm not sure what they are doing Krillin, but I do know that…" he paused and swallowed; what he was about to say was difficult; "He won't be coming back" he finished quietly; Bulma's fingers intertwining with his for support. Krillin leant back against the bars and let out a deep frustrated breath and closed his eyes…it just couldn't get any worse.

But he couldn't have been more wrong. An hour later the prisoners found themselves weeping and sobbing at the sounds of gunshots from outside. Goku clenched his eyes shut in hope of blocking it all out…and he knew now, Tien was gone...

Two days had passed…two risings of the sun and fallings of the moon. The people werenow getting accustomed to their new and permanent way of life. Quietly with small giggles that were light and weak, Bulma, Chichi and 18 were talking about their dreams. Bulma was making plats in Chichi's long black hair whilst 18 fiddled with her own.

"But wouldn't it be great to be a Princess just for one day" Bulma said with a sigh.

"You are a Princess" Yamcha told her simply. She chuckled.

"I know Yamcha, but not that kind of Princess…the kind that gets to wear those big puffy dresses and wear all that sparkling jewellery and have their hair perfect…have everything perfect. There would be no worries, no responsibilities like we have now. Hell, we'd have maids and…and servants…it would be a dream come true to wake up like that tomorrow" Chichi rolled her eyes.

"I don't think I could live that life" Chichi pointed out.
"And why not?" 18 questioned her.

"Well…because even though we'd have all that good fortune and have everything we wanted and it would be perfect for us…don't you think it's greedy? I mean…we'd have slaves…we'd have servants. Wouldn't that remind you of how our villagers live? Wouldn't it hurt you to think of them suffering like that?" Bulma finished off Chichi's plat in thought.

"I never really thought about it that way" she mused as 18 smiled.

"Well it doesn't matter…we are alive, we got each other we don't need that life" 18 stated.

"Your right 18" Chichi agreed with a small smile.

"Oh, huggles girls" Bulma said making them giggle like 16 year olds as they shared a big hug. Goku smiled at them from across the other side of the cell. It was nice to see that not everyone were depressed.

"Goku" came a small young call from opposite. Goku peered over in wonder and smiled lightly when he saw little Hector looking at him from his cell.

"Hey Hector, What's up?" Goku asked the child.

"Nothing really…just…I'm sorry about Tien" he said lightly. Goku smiled weakly at him.

"Yeah…me to Hector"

"He was a nice man. He gave me a piggy back ride once all the way through the village"
"Yeah I remember that" Goku said with a small chuckle.

"It was so fun, He was so tall. I thought I was flying" Goku smiled.

"If you always keep that memory, you'll always be flying" Goku told the child.

"I will" he said before leaving the bars and going back over to his mother.

Another night came, and it was hot and humid. The Prison was pitch black, with most of the prisoners sleeping soundly. Goku, so he thought was the only one awake as usual. He could never sleep properly in this place anyway, not with how uncomfortable it was and not with the nightmares he'd have. The nights always seemed longer because of this and that made it harder and more annoying than trying to sleep.

A small shuffling sound rung in his ears and he quickly turned his head. He couldn't see who it was until they came into the small light that shone from a crack in the wall. He smiled gently at her as she sat by him.

"Hey" she whispered softly, her eyes warm and welcoming making him feel that much warmer by her presence.

"Hey" he returned the same way.
"Are you alright?" she questioned lightly, her eyes concerned.

"I'm just fine, just…can't sleep in this place"
"I know how you feel. I can't get comfortable and I keep thinking about everything that's happened"
"Yeah" Goku agreed, "I'd rather just sit here and wait for the morning to come"
"But even if it's hard, you should at least try or you are going to feel ill" she told him in her "motherly" tone as he called it.

"I will don't worry" he told her bluntly. She was a little taken back at how his response came out but she nodded, whispering an "Ok" and went to go back to her spot but his gently touch stopped her.
"Hey" he whispered taking her hands gently in his, "You don't have to worry about me" he whispered.

"But I can't help it. After everything you've been through…I just…don't want to loose you"

"I'm not going anywhere" he told her softly.

"How do you know that Goku? Huh? How do you know that-" he cut her off by touching her lips with his index and middle finger.

"Sh" he whispered gently, his fingertips tracing over her dry lips and down her chin. His eyes followed his fingertips as they traced down her neck and stopped just above her chest. His eyes soon met hers; the gaze between them intense and passionate.

"Goku" she whispered just enough for him to hear.

"Yeah" he responded silently. She paused, her eyes gazing deeper if possible.

"I love you" she told him, her gaze never leaving his. Goku moistened his lips with his tongue.

"I love you to" he whispered back softly; his face inching closer to hers. Their noses rubbed together, slowly and affectionately. Goku felt his eyes close as he let his lips brush over hers almost like a slow seduction. He felt her breath upon his lips as she gasped, making him tingle with anticipation. She took his cheeks in the palms of her small hands and made the kiss, a strong yet gentle sensation suddenly flowing through her. He kissed her back a little firmer, his chained hands resting on her thighs as she gently rested on her knees.

The kiss lingered on, their mouths moving gently and tenderly together, their hands making soft caresses upon each other through their chains. She suddenly pulled back, her breathing quiet yet slightly ragged. Passion was held in their eyes as they stared at one another, passion…and need.

Their lips met again, their mouths moving more fervently and hungrily. His hands cupped her cheeks to help him deepen the kiss whilst her hands began to pull up his ripped shirt. She managed to slip her hands up and under the garment where she stroked and touched the smooth hard skin of his chest and stomach. His mouth took over hers possessively as he undone the small buttons upon her shirt. His lips travelled down to her neck where he nipped and kissed the skin making her gasp. She pulled herself out of her shirt as he continued to please her, her shirt falling down her arms as he pushed her against the wall in the dark corner.

His hot hands massaged her bra-less covered breasts roughly, their mouths moving together powerfully, their tongues dancing hastily. Her hands grasped his back, securely holding him to her, the feel of him heating her heated body more.

His massaging hands left her breasts and travelled down her body; his every touch and every caress arousing his body as well as hers. He carefully rolled her to the ground where she lay helplessly upon her back as his mouth tortured her body with nips, licks and kisses. It was hard enough trying to keep quiet as their intimacy developed. Thankfully the only sounds heard were a few small gasps that escaped their hot mouths; the rest of the noises were of the crickets and insects outside.

Her desirable hands soon snaked out of his shirt and snuck down into his pants where she gently stroked and touched what would soon complete her. He moaned quite silently, his sweating forehead leaning against hers as she pleased him softly. He gasped; her hands almost too pleasurable for him, the fact that he had to be quiet making the experience even more exciting.

She undone the one button on his trousers and pulled them down slightly, his hands now desperately tugging at her trousers, therough cream material slowly falling down from her body as she wriggled and let them roll up at her ankles.

He suddenly looked at her, his eyes lustful and wanting and they were something she had never encountered before. He kissed her cheek and her nose, his body ready for what she wanted.

"Are you sure?" he whispered into her ear. She knew he was concerned because of what happened to her the other day…but she was over that now…she needed Goku now.

"I'm sure" She told him seriously, his concerned yet lustful eyes now lighting up with a genlte joy.

With a gentle urgency he pushed himself inside her, the impact almost blowing them away to paradise or somewhere just as perfect. He held her to his warm sweaty body as he gently thrust into her; his one arm holding and supporting her body, the other stealing soft and affectionate touches. Her hands ran up and down his back, the shivers it gave him making the pleasure twice as intense.

Everything was a blur for them as they connected bodies and hearts as one upon the cell floor. All they could hear was them…all they could see and feel…was them. Goku let his head loll on her soft shoulder as his organ began to pound, ready for release. Chichi grasped hold of his rear end, helping him thrust his pelvis deeper and harder into her as she came.

Her eyes nearly popped out of her head when she came, her gasping soon turning into whimpers as she tried her best to contain the moaning and screaming she wanted to release. Goku took her head and buried it in his mass of chest to muffle her soft moans as her orgasm took hold of her.

He then stopped thrusting, his chest heaving against hers as he tried to quietly catch his breath. She pulled back and gratefully collapsed on the floor, her hair spread about above her head, her face hot and flushed. He rested his head on her chest for several moments as he slowly gained control of his breathing. She combed her fingers through his dark unruly hair, her chest rising a little slower as she recovered from their love making.

After several minutes they had calmed their breathing and had silently pulled their trousers back up. Goku sat up against the wall, his mind in a haze as she snuggled up to him. He couldn't believe they just did that, and right in front of everyone! But then again it was pitch black and everyone was fast asleep…well, he hoped anyway.

He felt her stroking his material covered chest with her gentle fingertips and he smiled. He didn't care if anyone saw them. What they did was just amazing and he loved every moment of it. He kissed her forehead and whispered softy "goodnight" before resting his head on top of hers and letting sleep claim him.

Maybe there was a God answering his prayers after all…

HA! Bet you weren't expecting that! HEHE! I can't believe they did that! They couldn't keep their hands to themselves! I'm just as shocked as you are! XD Ah well, it had to happen. Say, there are only about…5 or 6 more chapters left! WOO! Go me! But as I said above, I won't be updating this story at all for a while so...please be patient! (Smiles) and please review! Love you all so much!

Kami bless!
