A/N: There is a flashback portion on this chapter.
Love on the Third Degree
The usual upbeat environment of Ox University is not felt on this dreadful day by the couple in love. Their haven has turned into a cold and stiff courthouse where people face trial for a crime or for a grave offence they have committed.
The friendly environment turned into something distressing and suffocating. The sounds of footsteps are the only noise the people there can hear at the moment. The students who are normally chatting and laughing along with their classmates are now silent. No one dared to approach the couple on trial on their death march to the conference room.
Krillin together with Lazuli, Cabba, Caulifla, Kale and Lapis only managed to give Goku and Chichi a discreet wave and a sympathetic look.
Goku and Chichi despite the gloomy scenario that awaits them in their upcoming meeting; they walk with confidence yet not arrogant. When Mister Whis left them in his office the night before they discussed what they are going to say to the disciplinary committee of Ox University.
The night before over dinner at Whis's office.
Goku consoles Chichi because she couldn't eat and keeps on sobbing. He gently rubs her back and lovingly tells her."Chi, I know we are in a dire situation but I promise you, I will be there for you." Chichi looks into his eyes and caresses his soft wild hair, and then she lovingly replies. "Goku how could you be so confident over this and how could you be so loving to me when I failed you as a professor by giving in to my feelings towards you?"
Goku kisses her tearful eyes and answered sincerely. "Chi, you never failed me. The truth of the matter is, I admired you more when you've taken the risk to be with me. Not only as an educator but also as a woman." They embraced each other then they heard a loud growl. Both of them chuckled knowing it is Goku's stomach signaling he is already hungry.
They served each other with their succulent dinner of Roast Chicken, Ham Steak in Pineapple Sauce, Fish Fillet with garlic mayo dip and Crab Salad. They washed it down with Lychee Green Tea. For dessert a creamy Blueberry Cheese cake.
While they were feasting on their dinner Chichi asked Goku what they will say to the Disciplinary Committee? Goku answered with a hopeful attitude. "We'll tell them the truth and nothing but the truth."
Chichi retorted. "Yes I know Goku. But can you give me an idea what exactly we are going to tell them?"
Goku flashed his smile that makes her weak in the knees and said.
"Tell them it was me who made a move on you and you just reciprocated. And I performed well in all my classes to win your affection because, since day one I am already in love with you."
Chichi's mouth hangs agape after hearing this and stutters as she replies." You…You're in love with me since the first day of classes? I … I thought it was just a school boy crush in the beginning that's why I was kinda hostile towards you."
Goku lovingly smiled at her then reached for her hand and planted a tender kiss on it.
Chichi did likewise and said. "Goku you don't have to take the heat for both of us this time. I'm you're professor first before this all happened. If there is someone who ought to bear the brunt of our punishment it should be me. And besides, I've got something on my sleeve that I will reveal tomorrow in case the need arises."
Goku gives her a very cute look of confusion and asked. "What do you mean by that Chi?" The black haired beauty just smirked at him and said. "Just leave it to me sweetheart."
Goku let out a cheerful laughter while scratching the back of his head that Chichi adores so much; and said. "Babe you crack me up!"
Today on the Conference room.
Before the couple enters the door, they looked and nodded at each other. Then they entered the door of doom.
Seated on the conference table is the disciplinary committee namely: Mister Shin Kai, Mister Piccolo Namek, Mister Moori and Super Intendents Guwasu and Zamasu.
Mister Whis, Mister Gohan Son Sr. and Governor GyuMao are also there to serve as a support witness to the couple.
Super Intendent Zamasu begins the session. He looks at the couple with disdain then begins his interrogation with Mister Son Goku.
"Mister Son Goku, I must warn you that you consider your words before answering our questions because your responses may incriminate you more. It is such a shame that a top notch student such as you will end up dismissed from an affluent University."
Goku shot an intimidating look to the Super Intendent and replied." I understand perfectly sir."
"Therefore I shall proceed." Zamasu said then he proceeds. "Kindly give us brief information about your relationship with Miss Chianna Mao and how it all began."
Goku lovingly glanced at the woman he dearly loves, and then begins to speak.
"Miss Chianna is my professor in English Literature and Philosophy. The first time I laid my eyes on her, I already got smitten by her beauty and wit. She is a brilliant and passionate woman."
The disciplinary committee is listening to every word Goku is saying. Mister Moori signals to him to continue. And so he did gladly.
"What has drawn me to her is her caring attitude towards us her students. On the first day of classes, I already admitted in front of the whole class that I have a crush on her when In fact it was love at first sight."
Super Intendent Guwasu asked Chianna to validate Goku's claim and she gladly did.
"Sir, I've noticed that Mister Son Goku is strongly attracted to me because he keeps his eyes locked on me whenever I conduct my lectures in class. (She lovingly glances at Goku.) He also makes sure to dress up well in my class because; one of my top requirements in class is that my students look decent. Lastly he always flashes me his adorable smile."
Super Intendent Zamasu throws a condescending question that made Chichi almost lose her temper and smack him on the face.
"Miss Chichi, didn't it occur to you that, perhaps Mister Son Goku intentionally charmed you with his so called adorable smile and his good looks in order for him to get ahead of his class?"
Chichi glares at the Super Intendent and answered with gritted teeth."Goku is smart, diligent and determined to meet his goal to become one of the Dean's listers here. He doesn't need to use me in order to succeed."
Goku scowled at the despicable young Super Intendent. Guwasu reprimanded his assistant to be mindful of his manners.
Mister Shin Kai then asked Mister Whis.
"Whis, I asked you to handle this problem before what happened, how come these love lorn pursued their relationship even though it is a violation of the educational system's moral code."
The regal professor stands up to address the question respectfully.
"Sir, I suspended the two of them and they've been apart for a month. In the duration of their suspension they've been cooperative, which is why I've given them the chance to prove themselves that they are going to handle their relationship responsibly with my strict conditions."
Goku gently cuts in. "Permission to speak Please?" Mister Piccolo nodded and with this, Goku's confidence increased. "Sir Mister Whis has been nothing but kind to me and Miss Chianna; he never tolerated us."
Mister Shin Kai pushed no further.
Mister Piccolo throws a disturbing question to the couple.
"How intimate are you two?"
Chichi earnestly replied. "We only engage in passionate kissing and caressing. Goku respects me. He never pressured me to do more than kissing and tender touching."
Goku answered next with a serious tone that made everyone in the room pay attention to him.
"I validate what Miss Chichi said. We never go beyond passionate kissing and caressing."
Zamasu butts in. "But do you plan to one day. You are just buying time? Who wouldn't want to bed a gorgeous woman like Miss Chichi?"
Everybody buckled when suddenly Governor Gyu Mao yelled at Zamasu.
"How dare you speak about my daughter that way? She is not a sex object to be fancied on!"
Mister Guwasu excused himself and Zamasu out of the session.
The session continued and Mister Moori and Mister Piccolo assured Goku and Chichi that they don't need to answer such a demeaning question.
Lastly they've been asked this question by Mister Shin Kai
"How far do you plan take your relationship? You said it is love which means you are not only fooling around."
Goku answered first with all sincerity.
"I love Chianna dearly. Although we don't have any plans of what next step to take in our relationship as of late but, I can say we are serious and what we have is not a casual thing."
Chichi has a sad look in her eyes and replies."I love Goku with all my heart and I don't think I will ever love anyone this way again. That is why it pains me so much to see him suffer like this. It's like I am the one who puts a barricade on his way to fulfill his dreams. I have disappointed you Mister Shin; (looks sadly at Whis) and you Whis. (Looks at her papa.) Long enough."
Chichi walks towards Goku and caresses his face. She then continues to speak.
"It's time to make things right. Goku my love, what I'm about to do hurts me more than you do. You awakened something in me. No one has ever made me feel special like you do. You brought color into my life. I will not love anyone the way I love you sweetheart."
Goku frowns and his brows furrows he looks bewildered. "Chi what do you mean? We are in this together come what may!"
Chichi begins to weep. "Goku, sweetheart, we have hurt a lot of people already and I am hurting your bright future. We have to accept that this isn't the time and season for us to be together. So long my love; we'll see each other again. Our time to be together will come you'll see?"
"My Chianna. My sweet pretty Chichi." Goku sadly said while he weeps. The couple locked each other in a tight embrace and shared their last passionate kiss.
A/N: I know it is a sad chapter ending. I've got other plans to end this chapter but then this idea just popped in my head and went with it. It's not the end of the story yet so hope is not lost.
I would love to receive reviews from you my readers…
