Housewife: When Chichi's Had Enough

Ch.2: She's doing what?

"What's a bride?" "Is it something to eat?" "I promise I'll have some next time!" Scenes of Goku and Chichi's life flashed through her head. She had made him keep his promise to her. An unintended promise. He didn't really mean it at ALL, how could he have when he didn't even know what it meant? He doesn't really love you Chichi. He only said ok to make you shut the hell up about promises!

'That's not true! My Goku loves me!' Arguing with yourself, eh? They say that's when you know you're insane! Another clue, is when you think a man as dense as that Saiyan buffoon could ever love you!

'Y-you're wrong... I'm not crazy, and Goku does love me...!' Oh come now... That even sounded fake to me! When are you gonna move on and accept it? Sweetie, trust me, when you get over that man you will feel SO much better.

'I can't just get over him. Don't you understand? We have a child together... and.. and, we're married. Meaning I love him with all my heart and he feels the same.' Oh ho ho! So this "Love" you're talking about, does that include dying? Huh? Then REFUSING to come home from outer space, leaving you to take care of Gohan by yourself? No come backs huh? Didn't think so. You know just as well as I do that he doesn't love you... He feels obligated to you 'cause of the kid and that promise. I guarantee you that if he hadn't made that promise, none of this would've ever happened... No marriage... No Gohan... No imaginary LOVE... imaginary love... he doesn't love you...

Chichi sat up abruptly off the cold tile floor. Sweat pouring down her face, tears streaming out of her dark eyes. A small puddle of them alread formed from where she was laying. Her breathing was labored as she tried to catch her breath. 'That was intense... But it wasn't true... it can't be..' she kept thinking, trying to calm her racing nerves. But even as she sat there, no matter how many times she told herself it was just a lie, a little piece of her kept telling her she was wrong mister! "What time is it?" came the hoarse voice to the empty house. It was too quiet. 'Why on Kami's green Earth did I ask them to leave? I'm so stupid!' *Look, berating yourself won't fix anything. It won't clean the house, it won't pay the bills, bring back that monkey, and it sure as hell won't help what little self esteem you've got left!* Chi sighed. Her inner being was right, what she needed to do was get up and find out what time it was.

So, she wiped her tears and peeled herself off the floor. "Oh look at this!" Chichi pulled on the flaps of her dress, "I couldn't even change before I pass out on the floor? No wonder I'm so uncomfortable!" She stamped her foot and proceeded to rant about what she should have done. "I mean seriously Chichi! I am thoroughly disappointed in you... Agh, what time is it?" The clock on the stove read 3:00 a.m. in neon green numbers. Wow. She had been asleep on that floor for about seven hours. No matter how hard she tried there would be no getting to sleep, so... What was there to do? Well, she needed to mop the kitchen, dust the curtains, vacuum all the rugs, mop the floor in the- then it hit her. The reason she was sleeping in the floor was because she had that argument. That argument was in reference to a mess... A mess, might I add, that she didn't have the heart to clean...

So, first on the list: a cup of tea. Maybe a cup of tea would sooth her nerves. After that she would tackle the living room. Yes, that was a good idea. Or... It would have been had she not nodded off at the table after putting the water on to boil. Kami only knows what awaits her in the dream land...

Back again eh? You know, you must really love this place! And I thought you hated the truth. You must really love hearing how much your husband HATES you if you wanna keep coming back. 'Look whoever you are... I don't need this right now, I don't even remember asking for your help, or whatever the hell you're doing! Why don't you just go fuck off or something!' Oh wow! Such a mean word. You may have just hurt my feelings a tad bit, oh wait, no no... I don't think you did. Try harder next time Princess. 'Please! Can't you just leave?' Aw, being reduced to begging now? Well, as much as I want to leave, I can't. I am you. How do you expect me to leave Sunshine? 'Pardon the hell out of you? You can't be me!' Oh how you pain me... Actually yes, I am you! I'm the part of you who knows that monkey husband of yours Does. Not. Love. You! When will you get that through your thick ass skull? He didn't even say he loved you when he left, or did you not catch that? Well I did! And he didn't say it because he DOESN'T!

Chichi awoke to the high-pitched squeal of the tea pot telling her it was time to get off her ass and do something productive. "Those dreams don't mean anything. He loves me... He only left so he wouldn't anger me anymore." 'Suuuure he did...' came the sarcastic reply of her inner being. Chichi sighed. Maybe he didn't really care... Maybe he didn't actually love her. No that was crazy. Of course he did, otherwise they wouldn't have gone so long together. 'The kid Hunee... He stayed for he kid. He has his honor to think about! He's not gonna leave the woman who birthed his kid all alone... Oh Hunee, why are you so damned dense?' Chichi took a deep quivering breath and took a long drink of tea. "When the hell did I get this? I can't even remember doing things... I really need a break." 'But first you need to clean' The inner voice had a point, she needed to clean the house first.

Three hours later as the first rays of sun were seeping over the hillside, Chichi Son was just sitting down to yet another cup of tea. She had cleaned the entire living room, which included steam cleaning, vacuuming, and plenty of fluffing to everything. It was just as clean as the day she bought it! Now all that was left was to vacuum the stairs, mop the kitchen, tidy up Gohan's room and then she was done. Gohan. She had asked him to leave last night and what had he done? Nothing. Gohan wasn't at fault here! It was that damned monkey of a man that she had decided to marry. Damn. Why was she so stupid? She should have just let him go... She didn't need to hunt him down and remind him of that promise all those years ago! If he had forgotten he obviously had a reason to didn't he?

'Hallelujah! Someone is finally listening to me! But you know what else I realized while you were cleaning?' Chichi growled low in her throat. She had just half-way accepted the fact that the man she's loved with all her heart her entire life feels nothing but obligation towards her, what else did this inner-self want? "What is it?" She groaned out, almost as if she were in pain.

'Well! Don't sound so enthused... It's about that thing you married. Have you ever noticed they way he just eats and is off? Training or otherwise, he ALWAYS chooses his friends or the Earth over you! He's never home. To him, all you ever are is a care taker, a baby-sitter when he dies, and a pretty damn good lay when he wants it! You do everything for him. Play single parent, cook, clean, spread your legs at the drop of a hat-' "HEY!" Chichi blushed crimson. "I do not! We don't do... that all the time. And technically I'm the one who insinuates all of our.." She blushed again, "meetings..."

'There, case closed. He doesn't even start it, YOU do! And..' Her inner self had to take a minute to get her fit of laughter under control, 'Hunee, you can't even say the word! It's called S-E-X. In other words sex Sweetie... Be a big girl and learn to use these words. They'll getcha alot of places!' By the time her inner self had finished, Chichi was redder than before- if that was even physically possible. Chichi swallowed the last of her tea and placed the empty mug in the sink. There was a sloppy blue heart painted on the side, and underneath were the words: Happy Birthday Mom. Love Always, Gohan. He had given it to her when he was eight. Such sweet memories. Then it hit her. Where was Goku when Gohan was celebrating his mother's birthday? On a different planet that he refused to leave. So he really didn't wanna come home. Chichi frowned. Fine! Two can play that game. It was ten 'till seven and by the time she got there, it would be a little after 7:30. Bulma should be up by then and Chichi had a plan.

About five after seven, Chichi walked down stairs with three huge suitcases. The minute she hit the bottom step, her inner voice decided to make an appearance. 'Oh Chichi! I am so proud of you, ya know that? Ok, so, you got a plan? Or are we running blind Sweetie?' Chichi stopped. All she knew was she was going to tell Bulma that she was going away for a while and she wanted her to keep an eye on Gohan. But, where was she gonna go...? Her inner being sighed. 'I guess that leaves it up to me. C'mon, lets head to Blueberry's house and I'll explain on the drive' Chichi nodded and picked up her bags. Standing at the door she took one last look around the house, wiped a stray tear she didn't know she had, and locked the door. Getting in the car she vowed the she wouldn't look back. It would only hurt her. Her inner-self, how about we just call her Chikianna, (Chichi's real Amazonian name) smiled inside. 'That a girl Chi... don't look back, just forward.' And they were on their way.

Late that night, around nine or so, a very guilty Saiyan crept through the back door. 'Hmm, Chi didn't lock it. That's not like her... Maybe she was expecting us home..?' That thought brought a small smile to his lips. No matter how mad Chichi was before she was always waiting for him so they could talk. He looked around the house, more specifically the living room. It looked brand new, Goku frowned. 'With how bad it looked yesterday it must have taken her forever to do this. I should really appologise...' He quietly started up the stairs to the room he knew so well. He gently inched the door open and stared into the face off pitch blackness. Goku was a little surprised. 'But... Chichi never sleeps with the curtains drawn... Something's not right here.' Goku reached around the door and flipped on the light switch. There. Laying in the bed under the silk sheets on her side was...

Nothing.

There was no one there, but the light on the phone was blinking, there was a message. Quickly Goku raced to the bedside table a pressed the button for fear something had happened to Chichi while he wasn't here. After a second or two he was met with none other than the frantic voice of a Miss Bulma Breifs.

"Goku, this is an emergency! Are you there? Pick up! Ughh! Have you still not come home? Ya know, that is just like you. Stay away for Kami knows how long before deciding to make an appearance... Now I get what Chi was taking about... Anyways, Since you're not there, I want you to listen to this message the second you get home. Chichi came to see me today. She told me some... things... and she asked if I could keep a watch on Gohan for a couple days. Something about going off to be alone for a bit and when I asked what about you it sounded like she growled. She told me, and these are her exact words, 'Who gives a flying fuck where that ape went to? Will you just watch Gohan for me for a while?' Well, the only thing I could say was sure... I'm coming over tomorrow so you better be home to tell me what you did! Chichi is my best friend, and I wanna know what you did this time. Be there at 8:00. Bye."

Goku froze. She was gone. Chichi had packed up and left he and Gohan in the care of Bulma. She was thoroughly. Pissed. Goku slowly laid back in bed and started thinking, about everything. Their first fight. The first time he saw her cry. The first time they actually kissed. And his favorite, the first time they made up after that fight. He couldn't forget the sounds emanating from his precious, tender wife, the sensations were all new to him so Chichi had to explain it to him, mostly. He got the hang of it pretty quick though! Goku smirked. Yeah... Before Gohan came along they did those sort of things all the time, but after... What happened? They just stopped. He wasn't sure why but it just didn't happen much anymore. And he was probably the cause. Goku sprung up. Maybe that was it! The lack of sexual affection was some how manipulated into him not caring about her at all! Now, he had a caused her to leave her only home and child. That couldn't have been an easy decision for her. He had to fix this... If only he knew where she went.

Goku sighed and layed down again. He could do nothing if he was tired so he decided on a little sleep before Bulma got there tomorrow. It would do him good... If he could get this terrible feeling of guilt to go away long enough...
