Krillin was flying over to Kame House to check on a hunch.
"Krillin!"
He looked over to the voice. "Yamcha! Long time, no see!"
"Same, man! You've changed a lot over the years. Hair's looking really gray."
Krillin chuckled. His hair was a bit more slicked back than it was in the past, looking all shades of gray. He also had a mustache, which was also graying. Those were the only indicators of his age. His face hadn't changed much at all over the years. He barely even has Crow's Feet.
"You haven't changed much yourself, except for that ponytail of yours."
That's literally the only different thing about Yamcha. His hairstyle. Guy barely has so much as a wrinkle.
"I should have guessed you two would be here."
The looked over and smiled at the owner of the voice. "Tien," the two yelled in unison.
"It truly has been a long time." These men don't like to age, do they? Tien didn't look very different either, except for the parenthesis on his mouth. Other than those barely noticeable wrinkles, he hadn't changed much.
Tien then had a serious look. "So we're all headed to Master Roshi's for the same reason, right?"
Krillin got serious as well. "Yeah." He then became happy. "To see Goku! He's back!"
"And seriously strong," Yamcha said. "I mean, the power he unleashed yesterday! That was intense! It actually caused me to hit a home-run out of sheer shock. Guess I owe Goku for my team's latest win."
"Oh, congrats on that, by the way," Krillin said. "I didn't get to watch it since I was busy with work."
"Heh, like I can expect the big, bad commissioner of the Satan City Police Department to tune in to one of my games," Yamcha said with an understanding smile.
"There's Kame House," Tien stated.
The three then landed in front of the door. Krillin was the one who opened the door. "Master Roshi? . . . Goku?"
"Where is everyone," Tien asked as he and Yamcha walked in after Krillin.
"Hm... ACK! I-I found Goku," Yamcha said.
Krillin and Tien walked over to Yamcha, who was looking past the couch.
Krillin had an astonished look while blushing while Tien was just astonished.
There Goku was, sleeping on the floor... with Caulifla sleeping on top of him. She was using his left pectoral as a pillow and had a hand on his right bicep. She looked so at peace, sleeping comfortably on top of the snoring Goku.
"Whoa! Who's the babe," Yamcha asked.
"It's Caulifla," Krillin said.
"Who?"
"She was one of the combatants of Universe 6 in the Tournament of Power," Tien explained.
"SHE was in that crazy Tournament you guys told me about?! She's a freaking bombshell!"
"She's actually grown," Krillin said.
"And not just physically. Her power is enormous compared to how she was in the Tournament. It feels as if she has far surpassed her Kefla fusion," Tien said.
"She almost beat Goku in that fusion. She's stronger than that now," Krillin asked in amazement.
"Hm? Oh, crap," Yamcha yelled out.
"What," Krillin asked with an annoyed look.
"L-Look," Yamcha said as he pointed a shaky finger.
Krillin followed Yamcha's finger and went blue in the face. "T-That's his tail. Why does Goku have his tail back?!"
"His tail," Tien asked. He then remembered. "You two and Master Roshi once told me that Goku had a tail that caused him to transform during a full moon."
"Not just transform," Yamcha went. "He turns into a giant, raging ape! He's basically unstoppable in that form, and he attacks anything, even friends! Seeing it for the first time was one of the most terrifying moments in my life!"
"Don't worry," Krillin said. "All we have to do it cut it off." Krillin then raised a finger.
At the tip, a tiny Destructo Disc formed.
"Whoa, when could you do that," Yamcha asked. He then smiled. "Still training after all these years, eh?"
"Actually, believe it or not, Marron was the one who came up with this. When she was little, she wanted to learn how to use ki, so 18 and I taught her. The first time she ever came up with this was so she could cut up a carrot while helping 18 cook dinner. Sadly, she grew out of wanting to learn ki. She doesn't even want to fly anymore."
"Hm, it's a shame," Tien started. "Given who her parents are, she had great potential in the ways of martial arts."
"Hey, this is for the best. In these times of peace, a girl like Marron doesn't need to learn how to fight, let alone learn techniques like the Destructo Disc or the Kamehameha. Now then..." Krillin looked down at Goku's tail, being careful on how to grab it.
"Careful, Krillin," Yamcha started. "Goku's tail was seriously sensitive. Grab it wrong, and you'll wake him up."
"I know." Krillin traced his hand down to the base of Goku's tail, or as close as he could get it. He then had a problem. "Any ideas on how to move these two without waking them?"
"Mm." The men jumped at Caulifla's moan. She then rolled over to Goku's left bicep, snuggling up to it with a smile.
"Okay, I'm seriously getting jealous of Goku right now," Yamcha said.
"Yamcha, he's a married man."
"A married man with a beautiful, young woman sleeping on him. I still haven't found the one for me."
"But Goku has. He's married to Chichi. What is his relationship with this Caulifla woman?"
"What is his relationship?" The men looked down at Krillin, who had a contemplative look on his face.
"Krillin," Tien went.
"Tien, you said that Chichi was the one for Goku, right?"
"Isn't she?"
"I've been wondering that for years. You two remember how they married, don't you?"
"Yeah. At the 23rd World Tournament, Chichi said Goku promised to marry her, but he forgot all about it. He even thought it was some kind of food. Still, he married her to keep a promise he made as a kid. What about it?"
"Was... that really the best choice for Goku?"
"What are you saying, Krillin," Tien asked.
"They're total opposites."
"Well, so are you and 18, and Vegeta and Bulma," Yamcha said.
"But there's a difference among our marriages. 18 and I... and Vegeta and Bulma... we all consider ourselves partners. Remember how furious Vegeta was when Beerus slapped Bulma?"
"He became stronger than Goku at that point," Tien said.
"I don't think Goku's ever gotten that angry for Chichi," Krillin said.
"Wait, yes he has," Yamcha said. "Remember when he told us about the whole Zamasu thing?"
"He also got that angry for when Krillin was killed by Frieza," Tien stated, making Yamcha twitch a bit.
Krillin looked back at the snoring Goku. "An ideal marriage is supposed to be a partnership, but I can't remember any time Chichi was totally on Goku's side. He usually had to do a lot of convincing."
"Oh, don't I know," Yamcha said. "You and I actually and to help him convince her to let him train Gohan for the fight against 17 and 18 when they were bad guys."
"Have those two agreed on anything," Tien asked.
"Goku agreed with Chichi that Gohan had to study while we were waiting for the Cell Games," Krillin stated.
"Well, that is impressive," Tien said as he looked down at Goku. "He may not be the ideal father for most. It's quite difficult to be one when one is either defending their home or dead. However, Goku does seem to show care for his child's future."
"He does fight a lot to keep up safe," Yamcha said as he looked at Goku. "I can't count the number of times we'd all be dead if it wasn't for him. Hell, isn't him training Gohan one of the main reasons Gohan was able to win against Cell?"
"Yeah, it technically is," Krillin said. "Goku has a lot of faults, but we can't deny his best points."
"Does Chichi acknowledge those points," Tien asked.
"No. She's constantly trying to change him," Krillin said with a sweatdrop.
"That's kinda depressing," Yamcha said with a sigh.
"And seriously lame."
"Yeah. I guess it is," Krillin said. "Hm? Whoa, you're awake!?"
"How can I not be," Caulifla asked with a raised eyebrow as she sat up. "You guys are having a normal conversation around me. Of course, I'd hear you talk."
"B-But what about Goku's snoring," Yamcha asked.
"Oh, that," Caulifla asked as she looked at Goku, preparing to flick his nose. "I've already gotten used to that." She then flicked it.
"ACHOO!" Goku then shot up, looking around. "Who?! What?! When!? Where?! Why!?"
"It may have been annoying at first, but a month of training with him made it into what was basically a lullaby for me. You could amplify it to a sound cannon, and I'd still be able to sleep through it," Caulifla said with a smile.
"Huh? Krillin? Yamcha? Tien? Hey, long time, no see, guys! How're ya doin'?! Hm? Hey, Krillin, is that a new technique?"
"Huh?" Krillin looked at his finger. "Ah! I almost forgot! Don't worry, Goku. I'll get rid of that tail right now!"
Krillin then grabbed Goku's tail and tried to cut it, only for his Mini Destructo Disc to shatter. "Huh?"
He tried again. "Hah?!"
He tried over and over again. "WHAT'S GOING ON?!"
"Uh, Krillin?" He looked up at Goku. "That's not going to work. I trained my tail to be able to withstand even fire. We trained out tails to be able to withstand basically anything."
"We," Yamcha went. He then looked at Caulifla. "Ah! She has a tail, too!"
"Yeah. So does Vegeta, Kale, and Cabba," Goku said.
"WHAT?! HOW," Krillin asked.
"I wished it back."
"YOU DID WHAT," Krillin and Yamcha yelled out. "WHY?!"
"To get stronger."
"Your tail makes you stronger," Krillin asked.
"But what about the Great Ape transformation," Yamcha asked. "What about you and the others going berserk during the next full moon?"
"Oh, that won't happen. We can all perfectly control the Great Ape now," Goku stated. "Besides, we won't turn into great Apes anymore if we don't want to."
"So, you can just... not transform," Krillin asked.
"No. We'll still transform. We'll just become a Super Saiyan 4 instead."
"A Super Saiyan 4," Tien asked.
Goku smiled at Caulifla, who smirked back. The two then stood up and stood side by side.
"Hup," both went.
A powerful flash and gust of wind caused the Z Fighters to cover their eyes. When they opened their eyes, they saw the awesome sight of Super Saiyan 4.
"What is going on down here," Master Roshi yelled as he ran down the stairs. "What's with all the racket?! Whoa!"
Goku and Caulifla turned towards the old man.
"Hey, Master Roshi," Goku said with a smile.
Master Roshi sighed. "Shoulda guessed. I see you're in that new form of yours. Hm? Ah, Krillin. You and your family haven't visited this old man in quite some time."
Krillin laughed nervously as he scratched the back of his head. "Sorry about that. The ladies of my house would rather stay away."
"That hurts," Roshi said with a tear falling. He then looked at Yamcha and Tien. "Haven't seen you boys in quite some time either. How's life treating you?"
"I'd say it's treating me fairly well, Master Roshi," Tien said as he bowed respectively.
"Yeah. My careers still thriving," Yamcha said as he pointed a thumb at himself with a prideful smile.
"Hm. So, Caulifla, you sleep well?"
"I did before these guys came in talking a storm," Caulifla said as she pointed a thumb towards the men. They chuckled nervously.
"Hey, Master Roshi, do you have anything to eat," Goku asked.
"Peh, like my pantry is full enough for TWO Saiyans."
"Oh. . . . Ah! Are there still sharks swimming around your island?!"
"Hm? Of course. Why?"
Goku and Caulifla looked at one another with excited looks in their eyes. They both powered down to make it fairer for the sharks and ran out of the house. The rest of the present Z Fighters ran after then in time to see both of them dive into the ocean.
Mere minutes later, sharks started landing on the beach in two piles.
After another minute, Goku and Caulifla jumped out of the ocean... and Caulifla landed in front of the bigger pile.
"Hah! Another victory for the Queen of the Hunt!"
Goku laughed. "Don't get too cocky, Caulifla. Next time, I'll definitely out hunt you."
"Keep dreamin', big guy. You may have more wins in our fights, but I have the lead in hunting, and I plan on keeping it that way," she said with a smile as she held out her fist.
Goku chuckled before he fist-bumped the beauty. "So, Master Roshi, think you can cook this up for us?"
The Z Fighters were slouched over, most of their mouths hanging open, except for Roshi, who was just slouching over with a sweatdrop.
"Krillin?"
"Y-Yeah?"
"Hold my staff," Master Roshi said as he held his staff in front of Krillin, who took the old stick. He then looked to see Master Roshi dig in his back pocket and take out a headband. He tied it on, revealing that it said "Master Chef."
"Challenge accepted."
Hours later.
Goku and Caulifla were gorging themselves on all kinds of different shark dishes. They ate plates of grilled shark, gorged on dozens of shark steak, and guzzled down bowls shark fin soup.
As delicious as the food was, the Z Fighters were more occupied with watching the eating contest between the Saiyans.
"Geez. She's keeping up with Goku better than even Vegeta could," Yamcha said.
"Never thought I'd see such a thing," Tien said.
"To say those two are alike would be an understatement," Krillin said.
"Ya know, it took a good amount of work to make this. Makes an old man wonder if they're even tasting the food these old bones worked hard to make." As the two Saiyans were slurping down another huge bowl of shark fin soup, they both held up their thumbs. "Guess that answers that question."
"But seriously, they look way too much like a couple to me," Yamcha said.
As soon as he did, Caulifla spat out her soup. "THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY," she yelled out angrily as she slammed her hands on the table, a deep blush on her face.
Yamcha jumped in fear. "NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL!"
Caulifla glared at him for a while, her blush still present. "Tch, that's what I thought. Bitch," she muttered as she sat back down to eat.
"What did he say," Goku asked.
Caulifla sighed. "Nothing." She grabbed her chopsticks, took a piece of grilled shark, and held it in Goku's face. "Just shut up and eat, big guy."
"Okay," Goku said with a smile as he ate off of Caulifla's chopsticks, making the beautiful Saiyan smile as she watched him eat.
"Are they married," the Z Fighters mentally asked in unison.
Caulifla then glared at them. "Why do I feel like you idiots are thinking something that would piss me off?"
"I-It's just your imagination," Krillin said as he waved his hands in defense, laughing nervously.
Tien then cleared his throat. "Goku, does Chichi know you are here?"
"Hm? Uh... no. I haven't seen her since I left to train Uub."
The men stopped eating.
"Uh, Goku, how long have you been back," Krillin asked.
"A little over a month. Why?"
Yamcha dropped his chopsticks. "Y-You've been back that long... and haven't seen Chichi once?"
"Nope."
"And why not," Roshi asked.
"After I got some rest after Uub's last test, I sensed her." Everyone looked at Caulifla, who was just eating a bowl of rice. She looked up from her bowl, mouth full, and blinked twice at everyone.
"You couldn't stop me if you tried. I had to see her again."
The men sweat dropped at Goku's choice of words, which made Caulifla blush. "Red flag," they all thought.
"I had to see her again after all these years to see how strong she was now. She did NOT disappoint! We had that long-awaited rematch, and she beat me!"
"NO WAY," Yamcha yelled as he stood up and slammed his hands on the table.
"You lost," Krillin asked in shock.
The two men then felt a shiver up their spine. They looked to see a pissed off looking Caulifla. "Why is that such a surprise?"
"Well... because it's Goku," Krillin answered.
Caulifla was quiet for a bit. "Hmph. Good point," she said as she ate a bit more.
"Seriously, Caulifla was amazing. She had to be my greatest challenge yet! She even outclassed Uub! I'm actually looking forward to seeing THEM fight."
"You actually want to watch a fight instead of participating in one," Tien asked. "That's a rarity, indeed."
"That's just how awesome she is! It's also why I thought I needed to grow stronger. So, I summoned Shenron and asked him if there was another level Super Saiyan 3. He told me about 4 and how to obtain it, which is why I have my tail back," Goku said as he wagged the aforementioned appendage for all to see.
"He almost wished it for only himself, meaning he would have been the only one to get that power," Caulifla said as she side-glanced at Goku.
Goku chuckled nervously. "Sorry about that. Anyway, after Caulifla and the others showed up, I wished for all of our tails back. I used the last wish for King Kai, by the way. Anyway, after we got our tails back and found out the next full moon wasn't until another month, Vegeta had us train to get rid of the sensitivity in our tails."
"Ah, yes. When he and Nappa first arrived on Earth, we were hoping that their tails would work in our favor. That hope was quickly dashed," Tien said before he took another bite of rice.
"And thanks to his training, our tails are strong enough to break through steel! Trust me, were tested it."
To see if he was telling the truth, Roshi discreetly grabbed a small rock and threw it Goku's arm. They all see a tail stab the stone into dust in midair.
"Nice try, Gramps," Caulifla said as she continued to eat with her eyes closed. It was because of her comment that everyone realized that it was Caulifla's tail that destroyed the stone.
"Her reflexes with her tail are arguably better than mine. Though physically speaking, I've beaten her in tail wrestling about two times. She won't do it with me again for some reason."
"AFTER WHAT VEGETA SAID, NO WAY," Caulifla yelled with a blush before scarfing down the rest of her rice and refilling the bowl.
"What did he say," Yamcha asked.
"Oh, he said that wrapping tails together is like-"
"Y-You know what, never mind," Yamcha said nervously. Goku was confused, but that was because he wasn't looking at Caulifla, who was glaring at Yamcha with a look that could destroy an entire planet.
"Well, anyway, when the time came, we were ready. We all transformed into Great Apes, took control of it, and finally became Super Saiyan 4s. Now, a whole new world has been open to us. A new level of power. I can't wait to go even further."
"Further? Goku, when you and Caulifla transformed, I could TASTE your strength. How much stronger could you possibly get," Krillin asked?
Goku and Caulifla smiled.
"Blue Super Saiyan 4," Goku started.
"And Ultra Instinct Super Saiyan 4," Caulifla ended.
Tien chuckled. "Always looking for new heights, aren't you, Goku?"
"Of course!"
"You are a true martial artist, in every sense of the word," Tien said with a genuine smile.
"Thanks. Well, guess I'd better go home." The Z Fighters jolted at that while Caulifla just finished off what was left of her food. "I'm sure Chichi's not gonna be happy with me, but I'm sure it will work out. Come on, Caulifla," Goku said as he grabbed her hand.
"Huh? Wait, I'm seriously coming?"
"Sure. Why not," he asked as he placed his fingers on his forehead.
Caulifla sighed as she stood up. "You're just asking for trouble."
"Hm? What do you mean?"
"I'm sure we'll both find out." That was the last thing that was said before Goku placed used Instant Transmission.
The Z Fighters sat around in silence.
"She's not wrong, you know," Krillin said.
"This does not bode well," Tien said.
"This is going to end seriously badly, isn't it," Yamcha asked, though he already knew the answer.
Roshi sighed. "Goku, my boy, you truly are a magnet for trouble."
Earlier that day
Chichi was frying some rice while Goten was out on a date with his girlfriend. As Chichi checked the food in her pot, the doorbell rang.
"Coming," Chichi called. She opened the door to see who it was. "Oh! Gohan! Videl! And even little Pan! What a surprise!"
Pan groaned. "Grandma, can you please stop calling me 'Little Pan'? It's embarrassing."
"Sorry, sweetie. So, what brings you here?"
"We just felt like we wanted to visit you, mom," Gohan answered with a smile.
"Well, come in! Come! Come," Chichi gestured.
The family walked in.
"You came just in time! I was just fixing dinner."
"Would you believe me if I said we visited you at this time because of that," Gohan chuckled. "You always were punctual."
"Oh, you know me so well. Goten is out right now. He's on another date with his girlfriend."
"He's still with that girl," Videl asked. "That's a shame. I was hoping he would be back with Bulla by now."
Chichi chuckled. "After how Vegeta reacted, I don't think that will be happening any time soon."
"Too bad. Uncle Goten was much less annoying when he was with Bulla. Vegeta seemed to be the only one against it. Trunks, Mai, and Bulma didn't mind at all."
"I guess Vegeta doesn't want to be in-laws with dad," Gohan joked. It got a heartfelt laugh from the family.
"I'm home."
"Oh, speak of the devil," Chichi said. "Goten, we're in the kitchen!"
"We? Oh, I guess he's finally-" Goten stopped talking when he saw Gohan.
"Hey," Gohan said with a wave.
"Hey." Goten then began to look around. "Huh, that's weird."
"What is," Videl asked.
"I kinda expected to see dad."
Everyone gave Goten funny looks, except for Gohan. "Oh, yeah. Where is he, anyway?"
"What, did you two forget," Chichi said with a pout. "He's off training that Uub boy," she said as she walked over to the food. She just lifted the pot.
"But he's back, isn't he?"
Goten's question made Chichi drop the pot. Only a small amount of food spilled over. She slowly looked over at her son with wide eyes. "What?"
"Hasn't he come back home," Gohan asked.
"W-What are you boys talking about," Chichi asked.
"We've been sensing dad's ki for days. He's been close by for a while now," Gohan explained.
Pan slammed her hands onto the table. "YOU MEAN GRANDPA HAS BEEN HERE FOR DAYS?! WHY DIDN' YOU TELL ME, DAD?!"
"R-Right, you forgot how to sense energy. Sorry, Pan."
"Grr, I shouldn't have let that skill go! If I could still sense energy, I could have seen grandpa by now."
"How long," Chichi asked, her eyes shadowed.
"Huh," Gohan went.
Chichi then slammed her hands onto the table. "HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN BACK!?"
"Uh, a little over a month, I think," Gohan answered nervously.
"WHAT?! WHAT HAS HE BEEN DOING?!"
"Last I sensed, he was over at Vegeta's," Goten answered.
"So he goes to Vegeta and Bulma before his own wife?!"
"Grandma's kinda scaring me, mom."
"She does that to people when she's angry. Still, she has a point. Why didn't Goku come home the moment he came back?"
"I'M HOME!"
Chichi's rage went away when she heard the famous voice. With a smile, she was about to run out and welcome him back. But-
"GRANDPA," Pan yelled out in excitement before running towards the door.
"Pan, wait," Gohan yelled out as he chased after his daughter.
"Wait for us," Videl yelled.
"Man, she's excited," Goten said as he calmly walked to the door.
Chichi ran past Goten and was able to reach the door before even Pan. "GOKU," she yelled out in excitement as she opened the door with a smile. That smile quickly went away.
"Yo," Goku said with a wave and smile... with his other hand holding onto Caulifla's hand.
"Hey," Caulifla said.
"W-Wha," Chichi went, dumbfounded.
"Grandpa!" The two Saiyans looked to see a laughing Pan jump towards Goku.
He easily caught her and began to swing her around while laughing. "Pan! Look at you! You've grown so much!"
"Who's the kid," Caulifla asked.
"She's my granddaughter," Goku said with a smile as he placed her on his shoulder.
"Oh, you did mention you were a grandpa, didn't you... Old Man," Caulifla said with a teasing smirk.
"Wow, been a while since you've called me that," Goku said with a smile.
"Dad?"
"Hm? Gohan! Hey! Looks like you've been keeping up with your training. You look good."
"Thanks. I see you haven't changed. Don't look that much older since I last saw you." Goku chuckled.
"Hey, what's with the crowd," Goten asked as he squeezed passed Gohan and Videl. "Oh, hey dad... and... CAULIFLA?!"
"Hm? Goten? That you, twerp?" Caulifla smiled. "Hey, you finally got my name right. Looks like you grew up to be a pretty good looking kid. Powers a bit lacking, though."
"Uh, yeah. It's been a... whoa." Goten was seriously blushing.
"Hm, like what ya see, kid," Caulifla asked as she placed a hand on her hip. "Sorry, but I'm off limits."
"Huh? Oh, you're dating that Cabba guy you told me about?"
"Hell no."
"Huh?"
"You're just not my type. If you were as strong as your old man here, you'd have a chance."
"Oh. That's what you- WAIT! I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!"
Caulifla laughed. "Good for you, ya little bugger!"
"Grandpa, who is this woman? She's beautiful."
"Heh, I'm the beauty who kicked your grandpa's ass, kid," Caulifla said with a proud smirk.
"Wait, dad, you lost," Gohan asked, dumbfounded.
"Yeah. Caulifla's grown a lot since I've trained her. I'm seriously proud. She's the best fight I've ever had at that point."
"Wow, a woman strong enough to defeat Goku," Videl said with astonishment before she smiled. "Way to go."
"Heh, it was nothing. Still stings that that's the only win I've got in terms of fighting, though." She then glanced at Goku and gave a snide smile. "At least I'm still ahead in terms of hunting."
"You're going to hold that over me until I beat you, aren't you," Goku asked with a nervous look.
"You bet I am."
"That's real nice and all." Everyone looked at Chichi. "But what have you been doing this past month?! What could be so important that you put off seeing your own family?!"
"Oh, I had to train."
"TRAIN!? YOU TRAIN ALL THE TIME! WHAT KIND OF TRAINING COULD POSSIBLY KEEP YOU FROM YOUR FAMILY THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE SOME STRANGE BOY OR RANDOM WOMAN?!"
"Uh, I had to get used to having this again." Goku then wagged his tail in front of everyone.
"Whoa! Grandpa! Y-You have a tail!"
"I-Is that alright," Videl asked.
"Dad, are you sure that's a good idea. You know what that thing does to a Saiyan, don't you?"
"Hm? What does it do to us," Goten asked?
"Right, we had Bulma remove your tail when you were born. You see, during a full moon, a Saiyan tail allows them to turn into a nearly uncontrollable called a Great Ape. It was the Saiyan trump card before our dad discovered Super Saiyan."
"And we had to train to control it," Goku said. "We can control our Great Ape forms now."
"Well, I guess that's a good thing if you ever look at a full moon. Still, why did you get it back, to begin with," Gohan asked?
"You see after Caulifla beat me, I knew I had to get stronger so she wouldn't get bored of me. Ow," Goku went after Caulifla elbowed him in the side. "What was that for?"
"For wording it like that," she said with a blush. While she was blushing and Goku was looking at her with a confused look, everyone else looked at Chichi, who had a vein on her head so big, it looked like it was going to burst at any second.
"Anyway, I summoned Shenron to ask if there was anything beyond Super Saiyan 3."
"So that was you," Chichi yelled. "You were that close to us this whole time?! I thought that was Bulma or Trunks! But, no! It was you?!"
"I'm sorry, Chichi! I needed the wish," Goku said as he waved his hands in defense. "Besides, I also wished King Kai back with my last one, if that makes you feel any better."
"It doesn't."
"Oh. Well, when I was going to wish for my tail back, Caulifla, Vegeta, and the other two showed up just in time to remind me to wish their tails back. I'm glad I did, too. No way I can leave them out of this. When I wished my tail back, I felt a surge of power."
"It was pretty awesome. Who knew having a tail would give you a power boost," Caulifla said.
"Right? But since we were far from a full moon, Vegeta had all of us train at his house to get rid of our tails' weakness. It isn't sensitive anymore. Hey, Pan, try tugging at my tail," Goku said as he moved his tail towards his granddaughter.
"Are you sure, grandpa?"
"Yeah."
Pan was skeptical at first, but she decided to obey her grandfather. She reached out and grabbed the tail. "Wow, it's so strong. It feels kinda coarse, but it feels good in a way. Kinda ticklish. It's so warm, too." Pan then did what her grandfather original wanted her to do. "So tough. It feels like I'm trying to rip a fully grown redwood out of the ground."
"And to me, it feels no different from you tugging at my arm. We trained our tails to be strong enough to withstand anything, even fire, and blades. Yajirobe's sword can't even scratch our tails now. Not even Krillin's Destructo Disc can cut it."
"We know that, because he tried to cut it off while Goku was asleep this morning," Caulifla said.
"How... do you know that," Chichi asked.
"We slept in Master Roshi's living room last night," Goku answered.
Chichi twitched. "Ooh?"
"Yeah. I slept on the floor while Caulifla slept on the couch."
". . . That doesn't make me feel any better."
"Well, here's something that might, she fell off. I woke up to her sitting next to me while Krillin was holding my tail."
"You woke up... next to her."
"I'm pretty sure that made it worse, Goku," Caulifla said with half-lidded eyes.
"Huh?"
"Alright, dad, can you tell us why you'd want your tail back," Goten asked, trying to get away from the dangerous topic. "I mean, it can't just be for this Great Ape transformation, right?"
Goku and Caulifla looked at each other and smirked. Goku took Pan off of his shoulder and placed her next to her parents. The two Saiyans then walked over to the lawn and looked at the family. Then, they both released a massive wave of power that caused everyone, even Gohan, to shield their eyes.
Pan was the first to recover. What she saw made her eyes go wide. "So cool."
Gohan recovered next. He was astonished. "Incredible."
Next was Goten. "Whoa."
Then Videl. "Ah. Wow."
Chichi was the last. "W-What?"
"Grandpa, what is that?! You and that Caulifla lady look amazing! Just looking at you two makes my body tingle."
"That's too be expected. Pan, this is Super Saiyan 4. This is currently the Saiyan's strongest form without the use of God Ki."
"It's incredible, dad," Gohan said.
"And all you needed was your tail back," Goten asked.
"Not exactly. We needed to gain control over our Great Ape forms, and imbue it with the power of Super Saiyan."
"What's Super Saiyan," Pan asked.
"Right, we've never once had a reason to show it to you. Well, this is it, Pan." Goten then turned into a Super Saiyan."
"Whoa! Can I do that?!"
"Pan, none of us have trained since dad left," Goten said. "The only reason I can still do it is that I'm used to the feeling. Gohan doesn't even use it anymore. You don't train at all. As you are now, there's no way you'd become a Super Saiyan. Besides, there's no point anymore. We haven't had a reason to fight for years. It's too peaceful to want to train."
"Then why does grandpa do it?"
"Because he enjoys it," Gohan said. "It makes him happy. He wants to get stronger by any means. In a way, he's the ideal martial artists. They're insatiable when it comes to self-improvement."
"Like you with your books, dad?"
"Exactly."
Pan looked depressed. "Guess I can never be as cool as you, huh, grandpa?"
"Sorry, Pan. I would have loved to train you, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have been interested in it like Uub or Caulifla. In fact, they're some of the newest reasons I want to get stronger."
Chichi's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"
"Well, it just feels good, teaching people everything you know so they can try to surpass you. I mean, it's a disciple's duty to surpass the master, right? Still, I don't want Uub or Caulifla to surpass me just yet. I want to be their goal as long as possible. To be their hurdle. To be their motivation to continue to reach new and awesome heights that even I couldn't reach."
"That's why I want to grow stronger for them. To be a challenge for them. To be their goal. I'll do anything to help them grow. It's my job as a teacher, isn't it," Goku asked with a smile.
Chichi was now shaking, her eyes shadowed. "Why?"
"Huh?"
"WHY WEREN'T YOU THIS COMPASSIONATE FOR OUR CHILDREN?!"
Goku jumped in fear, subconsciously going back to his base form, holding up his hands in defense. "W-What do you mean, Chichi?"
Chichi looked at Goku with angry and tearful eyes. "You want to grow stronger for them?! You want to be a challenge for them!? A goal for them?! You'll do anything to help them grow?! Your job as a teacher!? Those should have been your goals as their father! I can't believe you, Goku! After all these years, you act more like a father to some random boy and a little girl than your own children?! Where was this drive when Gohan was a child?! When Goten was growing up?!"
"Well, I was kinda dead for Gohan."
"IS THIS A JOKE TO YOU?!"
"How? I really was dead, and as soon as I get back, I'm needed to fight Vegeta and his partner at the time. After that was Frieza, then Cell, then being dead again, then Majin Buu."
"But you were brought back to life after Buu! Why didn't you act as you do for Uub now for Goten back then?!"
"Uh, Beerus showed up. Then Frieza came back, then Champa showed up, then Zamasu, and then the Tournament of Power. Oh, and Broly."
"Broly," Caulifla asked as she reverted to her base form. "You never mentioned him."
"Oh, sorry. I have no idea why. He's one of the toughest people I've ever fought. He's like Kale, only stronger."
"LIKE HELL, HE IS," Caulifla yelled. Goku laughed nervously at Caulifla's anger.
"Oh, and it's not like I could have done much with Gohan and Goten anyway, right?"
Chichi's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?"
"I mean, you never wanted those two to train. You wanted them to study all the time. A shame, too. If Gohan had trained, he would have been way stronger than me years ago. I bet even Beerus and Frieza would have had trouble with him."
Gohan looked down, remembering how he was when Frieza returned. The shameful memory made him tighten his grip. He was virtually powerless against the tyrant. If it weren't for his father, his wife and daughter would have been dead, along with everyone else he had ever cared for. He couldn't help but wonder how different things would have been had he trained with his father as Goku had always wanted to.
"Goten also had some amazing potential, mastering fusion with Trunks and reaching Super Saiyan 3 so easily as Gotenks. I was so proud of him. He even wanted to train back then. Too bad he grew out of that to be a normal teenager."
Goten looked away. Knowing he made his father proud once hurt him a bit, especially since he basically grew out of that. Goku might as well have told Goten that he outgrew his own father out of his life.
"But what about your granddaughter," Chichi yelled. "WHAT ABOUT PAN?!"
"Oh, I did have fun training her, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have lasted that long. After all, you didn't seem to like me training her."
"Of course, I didn't! She's a girl! She shouldn't be wasting her time learning how to fight! She should be growing up as a normal girl! Being quiet and well mannered and getting the education needed to get a good job like her father! What's more, she needed a good role model for a grandfather, not some battle crazed fool!"
"But what about Mr. Satan? He likes to fight, too."
Chichi jumped a bit. "W-Well, he's different!"
"Hm, I guess. He is much weaker than I am."
"That's not what I meant! My point is that you should have stopped fighting a long time ago and took up farming as I wanted you to! I wanted my granddaughter to have someone she could be proud of!"
"But I was proud of grandpa."
Chichi looked at her granddaughter. "Hah?!"
"From what my dad told me of him, my grandpa was amazing. Who else saved the Earth, galaxy, universe, and even the multi-verse as much as my grandpa did?"
"B-But-"
"Should I really stop fighting?" Chichi looked at Goku. "I mean, if you stop me from fighting, isn't that the same as stopping me from being... me?"
Chichi's eyes widened before she got angry again. "Well, maybe it would have been better for this family if you did stop being you!"
That shocked the entire Son family. Caulifla looked angry, while Goku just looked confused. "It would?"
"Yes! The world doesn't need saving anymore! The universe doesn't need saving anymore! You've done enough fighting! Just stop fighting altogether and get a respectable job!"
"But I like fighting. Then again, it was also a lot of fun to teach others how to fight. After all, those five years of training Uub were some of the best years of my life," Goku said with a smile.
Chichi's eyes widened in shock. "The best? Better than the time you spent with your family?"
"Yeah," Goku said without hesitation and with a giant smile.
Chichi stepped back, covering her mouth, trying desperately not to cry.
"But there was another time in my life that was just as fun, if not more."
Chichi uncovered her mouth, hope filling up within her.
Her hope was then shattered when Goku looked towards... Caulifla. He then did something that shocked her. Goku wrapped his hand around Caulifla's waist and brought her closer to him. "Training Caulifla."
"HAH," Caulifla went with a bright blush.
"It was only a few months, but training her was the most fun I had ever had outside of fighting strong opponents. Calling her amazing would almost be an insult. So much talent and potential, and I got to help her bring it out. I was actually glad she beat me. Just shows that I was doing something right. Either that or Caulifla is even greater than even I could have imagined."
"And the time we spent after that? I wouldn't trade it for anything. Our training. Our fights. Even the two of us just relaxing together. It may have annoyed Vegeta since he thought we should have been practicing with our tails more, but I think it was time well spent. Those weeks training Caulifla, and the past month we spent training together, were some of the best moments of my life. Makes me really happy I met Caulifla."
Caulifla's eyes were shadowed, but her face was bright red. There was even steam exiting from her head.
Chichi's eyes were also shadowed, but she was far more composed than Caulifla. "What the hell was that?"
"Huh?"
"You sounded like you were... bragging... about the time you spent with... a..." Chichi gripped her hands tightly. "Not once."
"Not once what?"
"You've never once spoken about our marriage together as passionately as you did with your short time with Caulifla. Is that woman really so... Goku, tell me honestly."
"Huh?"
Chichi looked at Goku with resolute eyes. "Between me and her! Who do you prefer?!"
"Huh? What do you mean by prefer?"
"Who would you rather be with?! Me or her?"
"Oh, you mean hang out with."
"No, I mean who would you rather be with for the rest of your life!"
"Huh? Why can't I be with everyone?"
"Dammit, if it was just you and a choice between the two of us in the whole world, who would you rather have by your side?!"
"Oh, that makes a little more sense, I guess. Caulifla."
Chichi's and everyone else's eyes widened. "N-No hesitation."
"I mean, why not? She's pretty much one of my closest friends."
"AND I'M NOT?!"
"Huh? Aren't you just my wife?"
"J-Just your... wife?" Chichi then looked down. She then began to chuckle. "You know what? . . . I give up."
"Give up on what?"
"Goten?"
"Y-Yeah?"
"Fly me to the city."
"Ah... uh..." Goten then sighed. "Sure." He then wordlessly grabbed his mother by the waist and flew off.
"Hm? Where is she going," Goku asked.
"Dad, you should probably stop her," Gohan said.
"Why? What is she doing?"
"Mom, are grandpa and grandma getting a divorce," Pan asked.
"What's a divorce? Some kind of food," Goku asked. "Wait, this isn't the same as that time I thought a bride was a food, is it?"
"You thought a bride was a kind of food," Caulifla asked.
"Yeah. It's kinda how I ended up getting married to Chichi."
Everyone present was shocked to hear that, even Gohan. He never asked how his parents got together.
"That... is a seriously stupid reason to get married," Caulifla said. The sad part was that no one could argue with her.
"So, can we go in now," Goku asked.
Gohan and Videl looked at each other before they both released a depressed sigh.
"We might as well wait inside," Gohan said.
"Wait? Oh, for your mom to come back. Yeah, let's go in and wait for her," Goku said with a smile, not noticing the worried look on Videl's face or the depressed look on Gohan.
Moments later after that.
"So that's what it's like having a tail," Pan said her grandpa after listening to him.
"Yeah. It's really convenient. I almost regret having Kami rip out my original tail. Still, I think of how I didn't have Vegeta around to teach me the tricks to controlling the Great Ape form, so I'm glad it was taken away when it was. Great to have it back, though."
"Huh... I kinda want a tail now."
"I don't think that's gonna happen Pan. You weren't born with a tail."
"I wasn't," Pan asked as she looked towards her parents.
"No, sweetie," Videl said with a genuine smile, enjoying her daughter spending time with her grandfather. "You didn't have a tail. No sign of one at all. Truth be told, I was quite surprised when I saw your grandfather with one. I didn't know it had such a rich history or purpose. You never mentioned it either, honey," Videl said as she glanced at Gohan teasingly.
"It would have been nice to know if I might end up waking up to a giant monkey in my bed one night instead of my husband and why."
Gohan laughed nervously as he scratched the back of his head. "Well, my tail never grew back, so I never saw a reason to mention it."
"You want it back," Caulifla asked. "Having a tail is a lot more enjoyable than you'd think. The extra power boost and new forms it gives you are pretty nice too."
"I'm fine the way I am, thanks."
Caulifla chuckled. "Suit yourself. You're missin' out, though."
The sound of the door opening was heard.
"Oh, they're back. Hey, Chichi, Goten, we're in the kitchen," Goku called out.
The room then turned somber, everyone but Goku dreading what was about to happen next. The mood got worse when Chichi and Goten walked in.
Goten was looking towards the ground, looking less than ecstatic, while Chichi's eyes were shadowed... with some papers in her hands.
She then walked over to Goku and silently placed the papers and a pen in front of him. "Sign it."
Goku looked at the papers. "What are they?"
"Divorce papers."
No one looked surprised, but Pan still covered her mouth, looking ready to cry.
"What's a divorce?"
"It means you and I aren't married anymore."
"Oh. So we're just normal friends?"
Chichi jolted. "This entire time, you thought we were just special friends?"
"Weren't we?"
Chichi didn't answer immediately. She then sighed. "What was I expecting? You have no concept of marriage. No concept of family. We're just friends to you. No different from Master Roshi or Krillin, right?"
"Is being my friends really that bad?"
Chichi didn't answer. "Was I at least as 'special' as that woman?"
"Who? Caulifla? Bulma?"
"Oh, so that woman's the first you go to. Not Bulma anymore, huh? It's all about Caulifla," Chichi said with shadowed eyes.
"What do you mean? Should I have said Bulma first?"
Chichi slammed her hands on the table. "Just answer the question! Was I as special to you as Caulifla was!?"
"Huh? Uh... Um."
"Stop."
"Huh?"
"I got my answer. If you have to stop and think, it's more than enough of an answer for me. Just sign the papers... please."
"Okay." Goku then did as Chichi asked. "So, what does it mean for us to not be married anymore?"
"It means we aren't a family anymore... and that we don't live together anymore. The papers state that everything in this house is mine."
"Oh, okay. I guess that's fair. Your dad did build this house, after all. Uh, but I can still live on Mount Paozu, right? It is the place I was raised in, after all."
Chichi was quiet at first, her back turned to Goku. "My father doesn't own the mountain. No one can. It's virtually a national treasure. You can live where ever you want on it. I won't stop you."
"Great!" Goku then ran out of the house into the backyard. He turned back to the family with a smile. "Catch ya later, guys!" He then flew off.
Chichi gripped her sleeves. "All he cared about was if he could still live on the mountain. Even left with a smile."
"Hey, Goku, wait up," Caulifla called as she got up and ran towards the door.
"This is your fault."
Caulifla stopped and looked towards Chichi. "Huh?"
Chichi glared at Caulifla with tears in her eyes. "This is all YOUR fault! If you had never shown up, I'd still have my husband!"
"Are you seriously blaming me for this?"
"OF COURSE I AM! EVERYTHING WAS JUST FINE BEFORE YOU SHOWED UP!"
"Oh, yeah. Everything was just sunshine and rainbows between you two," Caulifla said as she waved her hand. "I mean, sure, you always got in the way of Goku's training, always tried to turn him into a farmer, and always tried to stop him from reaching new heights, but you were always there for him, right?"
"Of course, I was!"
"Just like you were there to help him train when your planet was under threat from something that could easily destroy it? You were there for him when he wanted to train his kid to take down a powerful android, right? Never stopped him from doing that, right?"
Chichi jolted. "Are you talking about Cell? What kind of mother would allow her child to fight a monster like that!?"
"Maybe one who knew her kid was up for the challenge like Goku did. Why do you think he wanted to train the kid instead of training by himself? He thought his son was worth a damn."
"Worth a- I knew my son was going to be a great scholar!"
"Oh, who cares about being a scholar in a universe filled with galaxy destroying monsters?! You couldn't even help Goku train two kids to take down that Majin Buu thing he told me about! And when your universe's God of Destruction showed up, all you were good for was cooking the victory feast!"
"So what if I-"
"And about your precious scholar son? His brains were damn useful when Goku's arch enemy Frieza showed up, weren't they?!" Gohan jolted at that. "He couldn't handle that pasty lizard at all! He had to call Goku, the same guy who's training YOU tried to prevent! If Goku had done what you had wanted him to, he would have been too damn weak to handle Frieza! You all would have been dead if it weren't for him!"
Gohan looked down in shame, the truth of Caulifla's words cutting deep. Videl grabbed his hand, trying to comfort him.
"Also, Vados told me about Zamasu. Hell, she showed the whole ordeal to me and Kale like it was a damned movie night for us. 'You lost twice to the guy who kills Goten? As his father, you should be ashamed.' So Goku can only be strong when it's convenient for you, is that it?"
Chichi growled. "He should have been ashamed for-"
"Losing to himself?" Chichi was silenced.
"Have you ever totally been on Goku's side at the very beginning, lady? He fights beings powerful enough to destroy the universe, and you want him to be a damn farmer? Who's going to save your planet while he's out picking carrots, her old man," Caulifla yelled as she pointed at Videl.
"A-At least her father is a respected man with a lot of money!"
"And how the hell did he GET that money?" Chichi has silenced again. "Was he a scholar like your son? No. Was he a farmer like you're trying to make Goku into? NO! He was a damned world champion! You had the strongest man in the entire universe as a husband, and you didn't even once think of using that strength to your advantage?! He could have won every damn tournament this planet has to offer, and you could have been filthy-stinkin' rich by now! Instead, you make him farm?! How much of an idiot are you?!"
Chichi gritted her teeth. "I won't be called an idiot by a delinquent!"
"You mean a delinquent who has more cash than you?"
Chichi's eyes widened.
"I'm not just a gang leader, lady. I'm a wealthy one. I've taken down plenty of rival gangs and took over their territory. Do you have any idea how much cash my gang has? I didn't get that from relying on my brains or my farming. I got it by relying on my girls here," she said as she flexed her arm and pointed at her impressive bicep.
"Also, the way you two got together? Goku kicks you in the crotch to check if you're a girl, and you decide to marry him? Really? I mean, he thought a bride was a kind of food and promised to have you as a bride because he thought it was something to eat! Who the hell gets married from an accidental promise?!"
"B-But we were in-"
"DO NOT SAY YOU WERE IN LOVE," Caulifla all but roared. "Goku had no idea what marriage was! He had no idea what he was getting into! Hell, you basically had no idea who you were marrying, but knew exactly what marriage was! You basically dragged Goku into the crappy relationship!"
"Cra-"
"As far as I've seen, there is nothing, NOTHING great about your marriage! So you made Gohan, big deal! The kid beat Cell after training with his dad. Now that's something to brag about. The kid beat a freaking space pirate after getting encouraged by his dead dad. I'd be proud of that!"
"You beat a pirate, dad?"
"Yeah. An alien pirate named Bojack. Though, if it weren't for dad's intervention, I'd probably be dead."
"Oh, for the love of," Caulifla began as she looked at Gohan. "You mean you were only a badass because of Goku?! So you're basically telling me that Goku could have raised you into a badass, no, a hero that would have surpassed even him! Instead... you were raised into a regular human. . . . That's what you wanted, right, Granny?" Caulifla looked at Chichi, shooting daggers. "You wanted a regular human family."
"I-I wanted a traditional family!"
"Then why marry someone like Goku?! Why didn't you marry another human?! He's a Saiyan! An alien! We're different from you humans! How the hell could you not grasp that after years of marriage to the guy!?"
"W-Well... I... I just."
"You just wanted it your way," Caulifla answered. Chichi couldn't retort. "Tch. How the hell did you two stay married for so long? Ah, who am I kidding? Goku probably didn't see any problems. Why would a happy go lucky guy like him see any problems with his life? He'd never think of ending this crappy marriage."
Caulifla then turned away and walked out of the door. However, before she flew off, she turned towards Chichi, an unamused look on her face. "You know, of all the women Goku could have ended up with, you were the worst possible one for him." With that, Caulifla flew off, leaving behind a stunned Son Family.
Goten stared off into the sky before he turned towards Chichi. "M-Mom?"
Chichi didn't say anything. She just turned away and walked towards... her room. The sound of the door slamming was heard.
Gohan looked towards the direction in concern but instead stood up while holding Videl's hand. "Come on. We... should probably go home."
"Y-Yeah. Come on, Pan."
"S-Sure." The family then walked toward the front door.
As they did, they all heard it: the sound of Chichi... sobbing.
Caulifla was flying around Mt. Paozu, searching for Goku. She then heard the sound of trees falling. She followed the sound towards the opposite side of the mountain, just in time to see a flash of ki light.
She flew down towards a clearing, with Goku standing in the middle of it, looking analytical.
"Hm, maybe a bit more." Goku then shot some more ki towards the ground, smoothing out the ground. "That should do it."
"What are you doing," Caulifla asked as she landed behind Goku.
"Hm? Oh, I'm just making preparations."
"For what?"
"My new house. I have to live somewhere, now that I can't live in Chichi's house anymore."
"Oh. Uh, yeah. That makes sense." Caulifla then looked to her left. "Guess that explains all of those logs. You gonna make a log cabin or something?"
"Yeah."
"Urgh. Uh, do you even know how to?"
"It can't be that hard."
"Uh-huh. Well, why did you chose this particular spot?"
"Oh, because of the fact that it's closest to the river. There's also plenty of fruits, vegetables, and nuts around here; but most importantly, plenty of game. I can get plenty of training in this spot, and out-hunt you in no time."
"HAH?! LIKE HELL YOU ARE!"
Goku laughed. "Well, better get started."
Caulifla sighed. "Yeah. We might as well."
"Huh? You're gonna help me?"
"Yeah. It's partially my fault you lost a place to live. Might as well help make your new one."
Goku chuckled with a giant smile. "Thanks, Caulifla." She just shrugged with a smile.
In all honesty, it didn't take the two Saiyans long to make a rather impressive log cabin. It was hard to believe they were novices when it comes to building. They used ki to cut most of the wood. After seeing it only once, Goku and Caulifla were able to make perfect miniature Destructo Discs, which they used to cut and file the wood.
"Why are we making it with four different bedrooms?"
"Well, Gohan, Goten, and Chichi might come to visit, so I would need rooms for all of them, right?"
"Don't think you need to worry about Chichi visiting you."
"Really? What makes you say that?"
"Call it a hunch."
The two were also oddly skilled in brickwork. There were plenty of boulders and parts of the mountain to cut out. The two were even able to make a chimney. They melded the stone together by melting it together with ki.
"I'm gonna roast so much meat here!"
"You realize we built a kitchen, right?"
"Yeah, but roasting meat and marshmallows over a fireplace just seems nice, doesn't it?"
"Eh, can't really argue with that."
Truth be told, the kitchen was a pretty small section of the cabin. It was basically just an empty area with enough room to build a second fire and a window to air out the smoke.
Speaking of windows, the Saiyans were able to make their own glass by heating sand with ki. They had to fly towards a beach to collect said sand and place it in a ki sliced stone top, but they were able to easily make new glass for their windows. It wasn't even that difficult for them to install it.
They made the windows into vertically opening windows by cutting the sides of the opening for the window and carefully nudging it in from the top. It was surprising how their monstrous strength didn't wreck anything. The glass had a few cracks in it after the installment, but nothing some sand and ki couldn't fix.
What was arguably the easiest part of the cabin was making the bathroom. It was no bigger than a walk-in closest with a window at the very top of the room to let in some sunlight. It's "toilet" was a hole in the ground that Goku made. He just shot down enough ki for the hole to reach half-way to the base of Mt Paozu. He wanted it deep to prevent any stench, but not too deep to damage the planet.
Making the doors was actually pretty tricky. Making the doors was easy. The installation was the hard part. Goku and Caulifla flew all over the mountain to find decent looking stones. They had to do a lot of punching, but they found what they were looking for.
Iron ore.
They crushed the ore with their bare hands and used the ki to melt and forge it into hinges. Took a couple of tries and a few hours, but they were finally able to make plenty of door hinges and nails for the front door, bathroom, and bedrooms.
After hours of work, which felt like a form of training for the two Saiyans, Goku's new log home was complete, and it was a gorgeous sight.
"Hey, we're pretty good at this," Goku said.
"Yeah. So, what are you going to do with the rest of the wood?"
"I do need some beds and chairs."
"Say no more."
About another hour later, the bed frames, chairs, tables, and a couch were made.
"Well, that was easy," Goku said.
"Ki, the ultimate universal tool," Caulifla said with a smile as she tossed a ball of ki in the air a few times before catching and crushing it.
"Hm, but a bed without a pillow would be pretty uncomfortable."
"Yeah, your place needs some decorations."
The two Saiyans were quiet for a bit.
"Two hours. Most pounds wins," Goku said.
"You're on."
The Saiyans then disappeared.
Two hours passed.
Goku had returned with a giant saber-tooth tiger, a giant lion, and a large eagle. Caulifla came back with a pack of wolves, a bear, and an emu.
"No way. I lost?!"
Goku laughed. "Finally beat you at hunting, Caulifla!"
"Tch. Next time, big guy."
The Saiyans then began to skin the animals and cure it with ki. The tiger's pelt filled with wild cotton that Goku found at the base of the mountain while hunting. The gotten filled pelt was used as the bed's mattress. The pelt was sealed with ki, of course. Two wolf pelts were filled with the feathers of Caulifla's emu and sealed to be used as the pillows. The lion's pelt was used as the blanket of the bed.
Goku's bedroom was now complete. The two decided to hunt for pelts for the other rooms another day.
The bear's pelt was used to cover the couch, the couch filled with cotton to make it comfier. One wolf pelt was filled with the feathers of Goku's eagle, giving the couch it's own pillow.
The chairs, table, and windows were covered with the pelts of all but two of the remaining wolf pelts. Since there was no more furniture left to cover, Goku and Caulifla decided to make the pelts into robes, which were more than big enough to fit the Saiyans.
With the sun just about to set, Goku's home, with the exception of the three guests rooms, was now complete.
The Saiyans got a fire going in both the kitchen and the fireplace and cooked all of the meat. Of course, they ate it all, the two satisfied with their dinner. For dessert, they walked out and grabbed an apple from a nearby tree and ate the sweet fruit in just a few bites.
Goku flopped onto his new couch, letting out a content sigh. "Building this was a lot more fun than I thought."
Caulifla sat on one of the new chairs. "It was. Still ticked off that I lost to you for the first time in hunting. Wait, you were raised here. You had an advantage, you cheat," Caulifla said with a smirk.
Goku laughed. "I do know a lot of good spots on the mountain." Goku then looked up towards the ceiling.
Caulifla's smirk slowly went away. "Hey."
"Hm?"
". . . Sorry."
"For what?"
"Causing your divorce. I pretty much got you kicked out of your house."
"Oh, that's alright."
"Huh?"
Goku looked back to the ceiling. "I''m a bit sad that I can't live with Chichi and Goten anymore, and that I had to leave behind my grandpa's shrine, but I'm just glad I can still live on the mountain he raised me on. Mt. Paozu is my home, where my grandpa raised me. I'd be crushed if I had to leave it. Besides, I can still see those guys, right? It's not like I can't see any of my friends anymore."
Goku then looked at Caulifla again. "I mean, I'm with you right now, right?"
Caulifla didn't say anything.
"I don't blame you for anything, Caulifla. Why would I, especially now? After all, you're pretty much one of my closest friends now, who helped me build my new house. There are a lot of things I should be grateful for that you've done for me. So Caulifla, thanks for being there for me. I'm really glad I met you," Goku said with a smile.
Caulifla just stared at him with an unreadable expression before she sighed. "Oh, screw it." She then got up.
"Hm? Something wrong, Caulifla?"
"Come on. We're going to your new bedroom."
"For what," Goku asked as he got up.
"Just come on."
"Okay," Goku said as he shrugged his shoulders, following the beautiful Saiyan.
The two then went inside. "So, what now?" Goku then heard the door shut. "Hm," he went as he turned towards the door. He was then pushed into his bed.
"Hey, it's nice and springy. Really soft. We did a good job on this," Goku said as he patted his new bed. He was then shadowed from the sunlight coming out of his window. He knew it wasn't from his wolf pelt curtains or the sun setting completely since he still saw sunlight.
He looked up to see Caulifla sitting over him, looking straight into his eyes, her own steely. "Uh, is something wrong, Caulifla?"
She didn't say anything. She just edged forward slowly.
"What are you doing," Goku asked, completely confused, especially when Caulifla grabbed his face.
"Marking my territory."
"Huh? What do you me-aum!" Goku's eyes widened... when Caulifla locked her lips onto his.
Goku felt like he was going all the way to Super Saiyan 4, energy just rushing through his entire body. Caulifla's lips were so soft and sweet, but that's not where the sensations ended. Goku felt something wet touch his tongue. He felt it wrap around his and felt a need to try and wrap his tongue around it. Whatever his tongue was touching was as soft and sweet as Caulifla's lips, much wetter.
After a while, the Saiyans parted ways, a string of saliva still connecting the dazed warriors. It was their parting that allowed Goku to realize it was Caulifla's tongue he was tasting.
The two were staring into the other's eyes, both with deep blushes and panting the same way they did after one of their more intense training sessions.
"What... was that," Goku asked.
"Eh? You mean that kiss," Caulifla asked, her eyes widening in surprise.
"That's a kiss? Oh, yeah. I remember seeing Trunks do that to Mai in the future; when we were fighting Black and Zamasu."
Caulifla blinked. "Are you telling me you've never kissed that granny?"
"You mean Chichi? No."
"But... you were married... with kids."
"You sound like Vegeta. He said the exact same thing. Does me being married have anything to do with kissing?"
"You mean... after years of..." Caulifla blinked once. Then twice. She then stifled a snicker. Then, she burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"You mean I'M your first kiss?! You've never once kissed that old lady?! That's hilarious! Your marriage to that chick was even dumber and shittier than I thought!" Caulifla couldn't stop laughing.
"Hey, my marriage wasn't bad. Chichi gave me plenty of yummy food."
Caulifla calmed down, but still had a smile on her face. "Hm, there's more to being married than getting fed, big guy."
"There is?"
"Yeah, but that doesn't matter right now." She then wrapped her arms around Goku's neck and brought her face closer to his, making him blush without realizing. Of course, she was blushing herself. "What does matter is that I took your first... and gave you mine."
"That was your first kiss?"
"Of course. Do I look like the type of chick who just kisses anyone," she asked with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.
"Hm... no. You look like the type who would throw the first punch."
Caulifla laughed. "Glad you know me so well."
"Well, why wouldn't I? We've trained together and hunted together, and just plain relaxed together. I've had plenty of time to get to know you," Goku said with a smile.
Caulifla's smirk turned into a content smile. "Yeah. I guess you did."
"By the way, Caulifla?"
"Yeah?"
"That thing we did... that kiss?"
"Yeah?"
"Can we... do it again? It felt really good. My body got all hot, but not in an uncomfortable way. It was like going Super Saiyan without transforming. So... can we do it again?"
Caulifla smiled. Without giving an answer, she slowly edged forward and gave Goku what he wanted.
The two were back to kissing each other, their kissing getting hotter and more passionate by the second. As they kissed, Caulifla pushed Goku onto the pillow, never loosening her hold on his head. As she did this, Goku instinctively reached for her waist.
It was firm from her impressive muscles but still soft to the touch. Goku's hand slid up her body, stopping just below her breasts, the feeling of her top stopping him from reaching any further.
He was about to lower his hands, but Caulifla grabbed one of them and stuck it under her top. Goku didn't know what he was grabbing, but it felt soft and incredible to the touch. Then, Caulifla did something Goku didn't like.
She parted from him, stopping the kiss.
WARNING: LEMON AHEAD. PLEASE SKIP AHEAD TO AVOID THE SEXUAL CONTENT
The two looked into the other's eyes, both shining with longing. Caulifla then sat up and pulled off her top, showing off her well-endowed breasts. As Goku was hypnotized by Caulifla's athletic body, she reached over and pulled Goku's gi top off of him. The two were now naked from the waist up.
The two stared into the other's eyes for a few more moments before Caulifla threw herself onto her lover, her breasts pressing against his powerful chest.
Goku didn't know what sensation he was enjoying more, Caulifla's kiss or her warm, soft breast pressing onto him.
Goku twitched a bit when he felt Caulifla rubbing his abs before her hand went lower. She then grabbed a very sensitive organ.
"Wow," Caulifla said after parting from the kiss. She then looked down at the prize she had just pulled from Goku's pants, stroking it. "Your 'other tail' is pretty damn impressive."
"That's not my tail, Caulifla. That's my-"
Goku was interrupted when Caulifla placed a finger on his lips, looking at him with a smile and blush. "Just roll with it, big guy."
Caulifla then placed her hand on Goku's shoulder and lowered him onto the bed, making him lie down completely. As she was doing that, she was removing her own pants and underwear. When Goku was totally on his back, Caulifla moved herself to where her privates were exposed to the Saiyan, glistening in the setting sun.
Goku just stared at it for a while, awestruck for a reason even he couldn't understand. He then felt a burst of pleasure that exceeded even fighting. He looked to see that Caulifla had begun to lick him before placing his penis in her mouth.
Goku was unable to do anything for a while because he was in a state of bliss. "This is way better than when Chichi did it." Goku then felt water drip onto his cheek and looked up at the now dripping vagina. He edged forward... and sniffed it. "It smells so much sweeter than Chichi's ever did."
"Hey, don't sniff it." Goku looked at a blushing Caulifla. "This is embarrassing enough as it is without you doing weird shit like that."
"S-Sorry."
Caulifla just looked at him before going back to what she was doing.
Goku watched her, feeling like he should be doing something himself. He then did what he did to Chichi that one time. He spread Caulifla's lips and blew directly onto her entrance. Goku felt Caulifla shiver, moaning a bit. Since she didn't stop, he knew it made her feel good. He then continued.
The next thing he did was gently lick her. "So tasty. She doesn't taste like rotting fish at all. It tastes even better than the dinner we had. It's also weirdly sweet. Kinda tastes like honey. I can't get enough."
Goku then began to actually suck on Caulifla, causing a wave of ecstasy to crash throughout her body. She wasn't about to let Goku outdo her. She began to quicken her pace, swirling her tongue around the head of Goku's penis, sending pleasurable shocks through his body.
It was as if the two were competing against the other, trying to see which would reach their climax first. Seems the two were perfectly, evenly matched, since they both reached the peak of ecstasy at the same time, the lustful fluids of their partner flooding their throats. Neither allowed so much as a drop to escape them.
When the two finished, Caulifla removed her mouth, panting from exhaustion, looking down at the still stiff member. Just looking at it imbued her with stamina. She then positioned herself over it, facing Goku. She looked at him, seeing that his eyes were transfixed on the reproductive organs getting ready to connect.
Caulifla looked at Goku's "second tail" once more and gulped. It may have been the only indicator she allowed to show, but she was plenty nervous. After all, she was about to give her virginity to a man that wasn't just her senior, but her teacher as well. If that wasn't enough, it was someone she grew to be close friends with, not to mention that he's basically the first man she has ever grown to respect; let alone love.
Caulifla took a deep breath to prepare herself before she slowly lowered onto her goal. She stopped when she felt her hymen touching the head. She remained still for merely a few seconds before slamming onto Goku's pelvis.
The two Saiyans released a yell full of pleasure. The two then looked into the other's eyes. Caulifla placed her hands on Goku's shoulders before she began to move, shutting her eyes from the sensation alone. It was difficult at first, the tightness from both Caulifla's unused vagina and her natural muscles making it a tad bit harder than expected. In fact, Caulifla was actually struggling, becoming stiff and rigid.
She began to calm down when she felt Goku's hands on her waist. She reopened her eyes to look into the Goku's. The two stared at one another before they both leaned in for another kiss. With Caulifla's arms now around Goku's head, Goku's hands now on Caulifla's back, and their tongues wrapped around each other; the two continued to copulate.
When they began, the sun had just started to set. Now, the moon was at it's highest point. The two had been making love for hours and showed no sign of slowing down. The number of times each has climaxed was unfathomable. They just kept going, never once disconnecting, always staying as close to the other as possible, while still leaving enough room to change positions.
The two continued on and on and on, embracing each other as much as they could during the act. It was almost as if they were addicted to the other. The two were deeply entranced in the act, and throughout the whole thing, the tails of the two Saiyans had been intertwined since they began. Not once had their tails loosened. In fact, they actually tightened, twirling together as much as possible, as if saying they never wanted to release the other.
Then, the final climax occurred. With Goku's hands holding onto Caulifla's breast, his chest pressing against her back, and her hands around his head; the two parted from their kiss to release one last pleasure-filled cry of ecstasy. Caulifla could feel Goku's semen rushing into her womb as Goku felt her walls tighten around him.
END OF THE LEMON. SEXUAL CONTENT AT AN END.
The two were now finally out of energy. They both fell backward onto the mattress, drenched in sweat, panting from exhaustion, tails still intertwined. The amount of energy they had exerted was comparable to their most serious sparring sessions, and neither transformed even once, but they both certainly felt like they did.
Caulifla then turned towards Goku, leaning on his chest as she smiled up at him. Goku looked down and smiled back at her. She gave a toothy grin before she placed her head on Goku's pectoral, finally allowing sleep to take her.
Goku smiled down at her before he grabbed the lion pelt and threw it over the two Saiyans up to Caulifla's neck. He couldn't help but chuckle when Caulifla visibly snuggled up to Goku after being covered by the warm pelt.
Goku then placed one arm over Caulifla and finally shut his eyes. The two Saiyans, who first met as enemies, next became a teacher and his pupil, grew into rivals, turned into friends, now newly made lovers; were peacefully sleeping in the bed they made in the house they built with their own two hands. Nothing could look more at peace than these two powerful, sleeping warriors.
A/N: . . . Well... *clears throat* I'll speak honestly, even I felt a twinge of pity for this Chichi mortal. I assume that many Supreme Kais will be displeased with the outcome, and many more will be either enraged or disgusted by what transpired between the mortals known as Goku and Caulifla.
Oh, well. What's a Supreme Kai to do without a God of Destruction? I'll just do what I usually do and observe. I want to see this through to the end. If another Kai threatens me, so be it. I've had to handle such headaches before.
After all, I'm the Supreme Kai of Reality.
