--06 The little happening--
Chichi's mouth dropped, was she dreaming or did she just start to hallucinating? One thing was for sure; someone was standing in the doorpost, and it seemed like this day could become better after all. The boy who was standing had black spiky hair standing in different directions and deep black, almost onyx eyes. He wore an old blue shirt, and his legs were covered - as far as you could say it was covered - by old jeans, which were torn everywhere.
The boy, also know as Goku, smiled at her, "Hi Chichi." he said.
"H-hi." Chichi stuttered, her hand grabbed the rail of the stairs, to avoid that she would fall again, because she still felt a little dizzy, "W-what a-are you doing h-here?" she asked, while a little voice in her head said: 'oh yeah, real smart, stuttering so much.'
"Bulma said that you got tortured by Miranda a lot, and because she was my girlfriend, I feel quite guilty about what she did." Goku said, looking aside a bit out of shame.
"You don't have to feel guilty, it was… wait… she WAS your girlfriend?" Chichi asked as the word 'was' came in her mind.
"Yes, I… broke up with her when I heard what she did to you… I don't like it when people get tortured, that's why I'm mostly in the lower-school part of the school to avoid torture of first-formers." Goku said a little ashamed.
"Why don't you come inside and drink a cup of thee while you two talk things out." Chichi's mom suddenly said causing Goku and Chichi to jolt a little.
"Mom, you scared the hell out of me." Chichi said, placing her hand on her heart.
"Oh well I'm sorry dear, but you're still standing in your PJs and I think that lovely youngman wants to come in before he catches a cold too." Chichi's mom said, and Chichi sighed. Nonetheless she stepped aside and let Goku in. Goku said something that sounded like: 'Thank you', and came in. Chichi shut the door and went upstairs.
"I'll be right back, I have to chage." she yelled and disappeared out of sight.
Goku rose an eyebrow, shrugged, and whispered: "Women, I don't understand them." then he turned and walked towards the living room.
"So, Goku, why don't you like torturing?" Chichi asked as she took a seat opposite to Goku. Goku sighed sadly as he looked down at the table.
"It's a long story." he said turning his head away a bit.
"Oh come on, tell me." Chichi encouraged him, "I've been tortured a lot so I don't care, just tell me."
Goku sighed, but started to speak.
:Flashback:
"Somebody, please help me!" a voice of a little girl screamed panicked, it sounded like she was in much trouble. Goku heard the scream and turned around, before listening carefully to where the sound was coming from.
"And this one, is for the slap you dared to give me yesterday!" someone yelled, and the sound of a punch in someone's stomach followed, with a cry of pain after that.
Goku started to run, run in the direction the screaming and beating was coming from. When he came there, he saw a girl lying on the floor. She was surrounded by boys who were beating her, and had all sorts of wounds that were bleeding. As Goku looked at it, his blood started to boil. "Hey! Assholes!" he shouted at the bullies.
The bullies turned around, "Who did you call asshole?" one of the bullies asked Goku. Goku didn't answer, but let his fist speak for him. He hit the leader as hard as he could, who backed away as he screamed in pain, his nose broken and blood flowing out of it quickly. The friend of the leader ran up to Goku, but Goku jumped up, stood on his hands, and twisted with his legs. All five followers were kicked in the face, and fell to the ground. When they could, they stood up and all ran away like a bunch of cowards.
Goku huffed and turned to the little girl; she was unconscious. He lifted her up, and brought her into the schoo they were standing practically in front of, where he hoped to find some help..
:End Flashback:
"You see, that's why I hate torture." Goku said as he shivered; that was the most terrible day in his life.
Chichi's mouth fell open, "You… I… huh?" was all she could say.
Goku looked up at her, "I what?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"That little girl." Chichi started, when she knew what to say, "That little girl, that was me." she said.
Goku's mouth fell open too, "What?" he exclaimed. Could this be true?
"That little girl was me, I'll tell you the story." Chichi said, as a flashback came over her again.
:Flashback:
"Somebody, please help me!" Chichi screamed. She was being beaten up by the same gang that always tortured her, and blood was already coming out of the wounds that they inflicted.
Many persons saw it, but nobody dared to do something as they were al too protective of their reputation.
"And this one, is for the slap you dared to give me yesterday!" the leader yelled, he thrush his fist into Chichi's stomach, and Chichi screamed out of pain before she fell on the ground. Tears started to burn in her in her eyes; the pain was to much and her world was becaming hazy. She saw someone arrive, and punching the leader's face with his fist before taking on his friends and winning easily. Chichi stared at the person, but her vision was to hazy to get a good look at him. She could feel how he picked her up bridal style, before taking her with him. Chichi fainted in his arms, and when she came to, she was in the teachers room; the knight in shining armour already gone. That person saved her life, while the others left her to die.
:End Flashback:
Monday at school:
"And, you two talked the whole day until it was ten o'clock?" Bulma asked in disbelief.
"Yup, and now we're friends!" Chichi squealed, "Isn't that just amazing?"
"Yup, that's a very big step, now you've only got two more steps to go." Bulma said, counting it on her fingers.
"What do you mean, 'two more steps to go'?" Chichi asked as she snapped her head in the direction of her friend.
"Well, now you have to become best friends, and then you have to start a relationship." Bulma said, counting on her fingers once again.
"Uhm… O-kay…" Chichi said slowly, 'I think she's overreacting a little bit…' she thought but she was smart enough to keep it a thought. If she spoke her mind, Bulma would talk even more, and then when she was finally done, the break would be over.
"Hey, Chi, is that Bulma?" Goku's voice sounded from behind. Chichi turned around and blushed furiously at the black-haired boy.
"Uhm… Yeah… Uhm… I think so…" she said nervously, turning her head to Bulma with a helpless expression on her face.
"Uhm… Yes I'm Bulma, nice to meet you." Bulma said, helping Chichi a bit. Chichi started to sweat a little; this was so embarrassing, she couldn't even speak to him normally.
"Nice to meet you too." Goku said, more out politeness then out of anything else. He turned to Chichi again, who was still sweating a bit and asked; "Chichi, are you feeling okay? You don't look so well." he cast worried black eyes over her questioningly.
Chichi jolted a little, "N-n-no… no… I'm feeling just fine, why asking?" she asked Goku, though she knew she was sweaty and shivering a bit.
"Because you have goose bubs." Goku answered, tilting his head to the side a bit, "Are you really sure you're feeling just fine?" he asked Chichi for the last time.
"Yeah Goku, I'm feeling just fine, I'm a little nervous for a Dutch test next period." Chichi said, using her test as a excuse to reasure Goku that she was feeling okay.
At that moment, the bell rang and Chichi let out a sigh of relief, "Okay see you later, Goku!" Chichi and Bulma said as they walked away. Chichi was still looking at him and he was waving at them, before he turned around and walked away.
"You still want more than friendship only, don't you?" Bulma asked, while waiting in front of the classroom for the teacher to arrive and open the door.
Chichi sighed, "Sure do, but I don't know if he wants that too, and I can't just walk up to him and say: 'Hey honey, What do you say about you and me together forever?' That would be so weird. Especially for Goku." She looked down at the ground and played with her hair a little to try and calm her nerves.
"But if you don't grab your chance, h'll have somebody else in no-time." Bulma said while grabbing Chichi's arm and shaking her, "SO JUST WALK UP TO HIM AND SAY YOU LIKE HIM!"
"Okay, okay… I'll do it in the weekend."
"This weekend isn't soon enough, Chichi! Goku is too popular to wait for that long! You have to act right away!" Bulma almost yelled at her friend, causing poor Chichi to back away.
"Geez, just keep your shirt on Bulma, we're in the school corridor remember?" Chichi said as she reached the wall at the other side of the corridor. She bumped her head slightly, and a little groan escaped her lips, "Ouch!"
Bulma released her breath and calmed down, "Sorry, Chi, I was just thinking about when I was a kid, and I was sooo in love with the most popular boy in the school. When I said I liked him, he laughed in my face and told me he already had somebody else. The next day he had told everybody that I liked him, and I got bullied because of it." Bulma sighed as she looked back at it, "It was so horrible."
Chichi walked over to her friend again, and put a hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry Bulma, that's not going to happen again, Goku's just too nice to do that, and he won't laugh in my face, that's just… Not him." Bulma looked up in the beautiful onyx eyes of her friend, and a slight smile appeared on her face.
"I think I know Chi. I'm just thinking about that, and I want to know if I have a chance with that hunk Vegeta." she sighed, and put her head in the palm of her hand, "He's so hot… And I'm not… God what am I going to do to attract his attention."
"If I learned something about being seen by the boys, it's that you have to be yourself, and it'll all be just fine." Chichi assured her friend, though she doubted if it would work with Vegeta.
The footsteps of the teacher were heard, and soon the teacher appeared around the corner and stopped in front of the door of the classroom, "Good morning." he mumbled before he opened the door.
"Goedemorgen." Everybody said back in Dutch. Chichi sighed, she had a Dutch test and she didn't study for it… which meant… She could expect a one.
"Okay, now class, put away your books and get a pen… We'll start the test." Mr Shimatzoki, Dutch teacher, said.
Chichi sighed nervously. 'Here we go.' she thought as she got the test in front of her… 'Oh that's nice… grammar and reading… could it all get even worse?'
Chichi was just about to begin, when somebody knocked on the door, "Come in." Mr Shimatsoki said as the person, the rector, entered, "Room 902?" he asked and everybody nodded in response. "Would the person named Chichi Maou be so kind to come with me please, we have to tell her something important…"
Chichi stood up nervously, and followed the rector out of the classroom. When they were in the office of the rector, the rector said: "Chichi take a seat please." Chichi took a seat and waited nervously. For a few seconds, it remained quiet, then the rector spoke up, "Chichi, what I'm going to tell you now will really shock you…"
