-Son's Residence-

It has been a couple of weeks since Chi-Chi had decided to restart her training once again. It was difficult task since she gave it up when Gohan was born in order to live like a "normal human" family. Of course, when she was much younger, she had trained before and was able to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament but, it was not as intense as she may had much enjoyed. Restraining much of her ki was not a pleasant thing to do, her saiyan genes was always itching for a good spar. Chi-Chi was currently in the forest not far from her home. Concentrated as she sets multiple punches in the middle of a tree. Aggressively throwing shots until the trunk was brought down in half. An echoing boom could be heard, creatures running away in fear of the sounds. With the last tree, Chi-Chi stop, huffing out air with sweat trickling down her face. Bruised, bloody hands wiped off the sweat on her. Chi-Chi's ambitions to get to what she was before wasn't going to end, even if it meant with coming home with a couple of bruised bones. She looked at what she accomplished,

well we won't have to worry about wood for the winter.

She chucked at the thought. Chi-Chi began to gather up the trunks of the tree, setting them up in rows. Once set, she gather a small amount of ki that glowed around her hand, shaped like a tip of a spear, and split the trunks down to even pieces. Once done, she tooked tge logs and carry them back to their shed and stacked them up neatly.

"That's enough from that."

She told herself as she made her way back out. Eyes scanned deep within the forest, she inhaled in her nose and exhaled out her month. She was prepared for her next challenge. With much more energy, Chi-Chi formed a ball of ki blasting it to the woods. Like the wind, she blitz through the trees, hurrying up to catch her ki blast.

Fuck, I think I over did it...

Thinking to herself as she struggles to reach the energy ball. Chi-Chi viciously pushed through, the forest becoming a blur of green. She can feel her muscles come to life, heart racing with excitement; The ground beneath her gone, her feet flying. Oh kami how she miss this, the freedom, the strength. This must what Goku feels every time. Bewildered to how she was able to stay away from training for this long. Chi-Chi was close now, she profusely forced her limits as she came in contact with her ki blast. Chi-Chi's arms stretch out pushing back the ball.

Shit! I did over did it.

Gritting her teeth at the power making her move back in inches. She wasn't going to let it overcome her. Digging her feet to the dirt as she lets out a roar, increasing her ki. Finally, the ball was shot up to the sky as it explode sending a shockwave knocking her down to the ground. Chi-Chi lays upon the dirt floor, her focus is blurry, ears ringing, movement slow. Chi-Chi sat up, a smile is upon her face.

Now this was enough for today

Carefully getting up as she dust off the derby, limping her way back to her little home. Not long, she could visibly see her home but, standing there was a large bulked man looking around her house. She wasn't alarmed at who this potential intruder might be. Sensing his ki as she got closer, she just knew who it was.

"What are you doing here, dad?"

The Ox King rapidly turn around and rushed to her side picking her up into his large arms.

"Oh honey! I was worried. I called an hours ago you didn't pick up, I had a feeling something was wrong so I came by to check for myself, butI'm glad my lil girl is okay!"

Chi-Chi can feel her bones being crushed as the Ox King squeeze her in a tight hug.

"I-I'm fine d-dad, can you p-please let go. Can't. Breath".

With all the training she did her physique was not in good shape and with the Ox King closing of her lungs it just made thing ten times more difficult. He quickly let her go sensing her discomfort. Chi-Chi inhaled deeply for the circulation to reach her whole body once again.

"I'm sorry just was worried"

he smiled apologetically. He settle her down as he begun to examine her which he noticed the state that she is in; burnt and torn pieces of clothing, her neat silk hair now fizzed and out of place, rubble of dirt paint on her face, her hands bloody scarred and bruised, she look like she had been through war. The OX King more anxious than before.

"Hon, what happened to you?!" He shrieked as he tries to reach for her again but, stopped as Chi-Chi threw her hands up

"It's nothing, I was just training.."

"What!? You were training!? When did you started doing this?"

"I been doing this for two weeks already"

Chi-Chi calmly states, walking away to the entrance of her house nearly leaving him outside shocked by the news. Blinking away his reaction he followed her inside. Once in the house, Chi-Chi was already setting a pot of tea to boil for them.

"Why haven't you told me.?" The Ox King softly replied. He wonders why she hadn't contacted him about this news or at all in fact. He tries to check up on her, but she would always make small talk always busy with something. Now, he knew what that something was. Chi-Chi sighs still foundling with the tea pot.

"I didn't think it be a big deal".

"It is especially if you overwork yourself. Don't force your body so much". He was uneasy by the fact that the way she is training since seeing her for the first time in a mal way.

"Have you been letting your body rest at least?" the Ox King asks

Chi-Chi puts the tea pot down over the flame moving to the side looking back to him.

"This is the best way for me. I have not been forcing myself to my limits, my body can take it".

"Chi-Chi, you know that's not good for you" the Ox King upset with her being reckless in her tanning.

"Look dad, I need to catch up. I hate feeling so useless" He frowns at her statement.

"You're not useless. You do a lot for your family." Chi-Chi shakes her head disagreeing on what he said.

"It's not enough."

"Chi-Chi you're a great mother and wife." Chi-Chi snorts out a laugh

"Yeah cause letting my own pup go off to the dangers of space going to who knows WHAT, with my mate who's risking his own life once again while I'm here waiting and hoping for them to have a safe return?!"

Getting frustrated with herself to not being any good use while everyone she knows is risking their own lives while she wasted time doing absolutely nothing. Closing her eyes trying to calm herself before she does anything reckless. He may never understand how she feels, but it was worth a try to enlighten him by a bit. Feeling the comfort arms of the Ox King brought up old memories when she couldn't do nothing. Angry she wasn't strong enough to save her family, her people. Chi-Chi can feel the tears whelming up from all her fuststioms.

"Chi-Chi you're a wonderful mother and wife. You brought some much joy into mines and your mother's life. Never think you don't do enough because you do. You brought use hope to have a daughter to raise. I love you very much." Chi-Chi arms return the favor and wrap themselves around the Ox big form as a small trail of tears came down her cheeks.

"I love you too dad." the Ox King always did have a way to make her feel protected and loved. She was grateful to have him raise her into what she was today.

" I just want you to be careful, okay."

"I will."

"Good, now why don't you go on ahead and clean up. I'll watch the tea once you're done."

"Sure thing". Chi-Chi breaks away wiping off her cheeks and makes her way out to the kitchen door, but not until saying one last thing.

"Dad." She calls him out again. The Ox King stares back at her

"Yes.."

"Thanks for understanding." Chi-Chi proclaims. A grin spread over his face

"Of course hon, always be here for you". Chi-Chi shares a grin with him as well and contained to head to her bathroom for a much needed shower. She enters the bathroom, turning on the faucet. She careful removes what was left of her clothing off. Stepping in, she hisses as the hot water pours over her sore body.

I'm going to feel that in the morning

Not long, she turn off the water and stepped out of the tub. Fog filled up the room as she reached over for a towel. with a towel now wrapped around her frame, she walks over to the sink standing in front of her mirror uncovering what lies within it. She stares at her reflection, her cream almond shape face, wet coral black hair, and her eyes, her hard deep brown eyes where all her secrets that lies beneath them. She pictures her mother's face whose face mimics her own. A beautiful, proud, and powerful women. She smiles at that thought. If her mother could see her now she be proud at the women she has become. She will make a difference and protect the people she cares for. She will overcome her problematic past, but for now she will focus on building up her strength to it's peak.

With one last glaze at herself and her past, she leaves the bathroom into her present and to the unknown of her future.
