Whispers in the Dark

Chi Chi left the hospital and headed straight home. When she got home, she headed straight for bed. She was exhausted. Trying to get rest at the hospital was like trying to get a tan in the rain. Impossible.

She had been feeling weird all day. She knew that 17 still wanted her, but she did not know what she wanted. She still thought her soul mate was out there, waiting for the right moment to come to her. Chi Chi rolled her eyes. Now she was sounding like a hopless romantic. She knew love like that never happened. She just needed some sleep. Chi Chi crawled into bed. She could use a good night's sleep. She closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

~Chi Chi's dream~

Chi Chi was walking through a forest. She was in a mountain area. This place looked so familiar to her. Isn't this where the famous martial artist Gohan once lived? Chi Chi was sure it was. Her father took her here when she was a little girl. She looked around. Why would she be dreaming of this place, she hasn't thought about it in years?

"This place is peaceful," a male voice spoke.

Chi Chi looked around. Who was with her, and where was he? She turned around. She noticed a man sitting on a boulder. He was tall and had a muscular build to him. He had raven hair that stuck out in all different directions. And a set of onyx eyes that immediately caught her attention.

"Who are you?" Chi Chi nervously asked.

The man jumped off the boulder. He appeared to be about six feet in height.

"My name is Kakarott," he answered.

"That's a weird name," Chi Chi thought out loud.

"Oh and what is your name?" Kakarott responded.

"Chi Chi," she answered.

Kakarott laughed.

"Chi Chi, that's a funny name," he spoke between giggles.

Chi Chi blushed. He was not laughing at her?

"It's not a funny name!" she yelled.

Kakarott stopped laughing. He looked into her onyx orbs. She looked much like a Saiyan. She had matching onyx eyes and long dark hair. She had a slender, muscular build that suggested she was a fighter. All that she was missing was a tail. Kakarott smiled at the image. She was very beautiful and attractive either way.

"What are you smiling about?" Chi Chi asked.

Kakarott shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh nothing much. Just that you are really pretty," Kakarott answered.

Chi Chi's cheeks reddened. No one ever just complimented her so bluntly like that before. She kind of liked it. He was sweet.

"So what is this place called?" Kakarott asked as he looked around.

Chi Chi looked around as well before her eyes fell on the mysterious man near her.

"This place is called Mount Piazou (a/n: if I spelt it wrong, please tell me the correct spelling)," Chi Chi answered.

"Mount Piazou," Kakarott repeated, "I like it. Someone should live out here."

"Someone once did," Chi Chi answered.

Kakarott looked back at the beautiful woman.

"His name was Gohan. He was a martial artist. He trained with my father under Master Roshi, the greatest martial artist in the world," Chi Chi explained.

Kakarott stiffened a laugh. This was a weak planet. He could feel who the strongest fighters were, and he knew they were no match to him. But Chi Chi didn't know that.

"That is a really weird belt you have on," Chi Chi spoke as she noticed that brown furry thing wrapped around his waist.

Kakarott smirked. She noticed the belt uncoil all by itself. She screamed and jumped.

"What is that thing?" Chi Chi screamed.

Kakarott fell down from laughter. He never seen someone freak out so badly over something so innocent like his tail.

"It's my tail," Kakarott answered after he finally caught his breath.

Chi Chi regained her composure. She was still trying to regulate her breathing.

"You have a tail?" she asked in slow, restrained voice.

"Well obviously since it's there," Kakarott answered.

Chi Chi closed her eyes.

"I never seen anyone with a tail before," she stated.

Kakarott's eyes widened. They really didn't have tails on this planet!

"Well how do you get around without one?" Kakarott asked in astonishment.

Chi Chi smiled.

"Easy. You know you are pretty funny Kakarott," Chi Chi replied.

The two strangers ended up talking about all sorts of things. Mostly they talked about Chi Chi. Her life, her family, her friends, her past, and so on. She told him she was a fighter. He liked that. He told her he had been training ever since he could. He corrected a few of her fighting stances. She was grateful for that. They were having the time of their lives. Chi Chi never felt like this before. Neither had Kakarott. Both did not want to leave each other's company.

Kakarott looked away from Chi Chi. His head snapped in another direction.

"I thought I would have more time," he muttered.

Chi Chi looked at him with confusion in her eyes.

"What is it Kakarott?" she asked as she moved closer to him.

He looked into her charcoal eyes.

"I have to go now," he stated.

Chi Chi frowned. He couldn't leave!

"What, no!" she responded.

Kakarott wrapped his arms around her.

"I have to," he stated.

Chi Chi felt like crying.

"Will I see you again?" she asked as her voice cracked.

Kakarott pulled her away. He kissed her passionately on the lips. Chi Chi instantly gave into the kiss. He broke it when he knew he could stay no longer.

"I promise I will see you soon," Kakarott promised.

Chi Chi felt everything fade away.

~End dream~

Chi Chi bolted awake. She was gasping for air. What a dream. Chi Chi couldn't believe the dream she just had. But was it a dream? It felt so real. Chi Chi placed her fingers on her lips. She could still feel his lips on hers. Chi Chi had never felt like that before. She wanted that feeling again. Kakarott was a name she would never forget, and she will never forget his promise.
