Housewife: When Chichi's Had Enough

Ch.3: Single Parenting Isn't Easy.

Driving down the open roads, Chichi couldn't feel more at ease! She had never had a day when she could just go out with out worrying about anything, it was always get home early to clean, cook, and take care of her two kids; Gohan and Goku. Her inner-self, Chikianna, sighed- on the inside of course. 'Heh, stick with me Chi, it makes everything so much more fun!' Chichi smiled. Maybe, just maybe, she should let her Amazonian side out more often. She took a deep breath of the afternoon mountain air. Fresh. Clean. She hadn't been out of the house like this in so long. Not since she took Gohan with her camping a couple years back. Gohan. She left him in the care of Bulma earlier that day. It was a very interesting conversation if you think about it.

Chichi pulled into the Capsule Corps driveway shortly after 7:30. Nervously she undid the seat belt and went to the front door. *Oh.. I shouldn't be here. What if she's not up yet? Or... or what if she's busy in the lab? Maybe I'll just go...* 'Freeze!' Chikianna screamed, making Chichi wince, 'Where the hell do you think you're gonna go? You don't want to leave poor little Gohan in the hands of the idiotic monkey do you? He may be his father but do you honestly think he can do anything parental...? Think about it...' And she did. *Like bloody hell! There is no way I am leaving that sorry-* Her thoughts were cut short by a certain blue haired vixen walking out the door. "Agh! What the hell? Oh! Hey Chi, what are you doing here so early?" Chichi picked herself up off the porch and smiled a little. "Well hello to you to B. I'm here 'cause I wanted to ask a favor." Chichi bit the inside of her cheek. Bulma pulled out her earphones, "Sure! Anything Chi, what's wrong? You look exhausted. Want to come in and sit down for a bit?" Chichi smiled. At least someone was concerned about her. "Nah, I'm fine. I just wanted to know if you would watch Gohan for a bit. I'm going away for a while, a week minimum." Bulma's jaw dropped. "A week? But, but... Why? Where are you gonna go?" Chikianna was getting fed up. 'Just tell her you need time for yourself!' Bulma was still raving on about how she never goes anywhere and all that when she struck a cord. "But what about Goku-?" Chichi snapped.

"Who gives a flying fuck where that ape went to? Will you just watch Gohan for me for a while?" Bulma blinked. Chichi just cussed. She never cusses! Chikianna was laughing her ass off. 'You told her!' *Oh! Just shut up!* Chichi took a deep breath to calm herself. "Look B, I'm sorry. Alright? We had a fight and I came to terms with some things. It's no big deal. So will you do it?" Bulma thought for a second. Out of all the fights they had, Chichi had never been driven to leave the house. This was huge... and she wanted all the juicy gossip! She took a deep breath, "But, Chi... Shouldn't you be at home with him trying to work it out? Not running off somewhere to do Kami knows what with Kami knows who." Chichi took a few deep breaths. *I will not murder Bulma... I will not murder Bulma... I will not murder Bulma...* Chikianna died laughing. 'Yet...!' "Bulma, this wasn't just some small fight. It was the entire iceberg. You can ask that monkey tailed sorry S.O.B what happened if you really want to know."

Chichi started mumbling a few choice insults after that but finally ended out with: "Humph... Let him see what it's like to do all that work! I have a one way ticket to a week of FREEDOM Bulma! Don't you understand this? I'm leaving for a week and if he can't get his act together... Then.. Maybe we just weren't meant to be.." Bulma gasped but Chichi just turned and walked off. She didn't have time for anymore questions. She wanted to be out and about! She got in the car and started the ignition, after checking 'the list', she was gone. Leaving Bulma with a quick goodbye wave, she floored it and headed for the mountains.

So that was how she got to here. On the road I mean, she wasn't anywhere yet. But she would be by 6:30! Right after she left the house, Chikianna told her about a great little hot spring up in the mountains! She could stay in the motel up there and just relax. And, the best part was... It's all free! She got a brochure and a coupon for a free week stay at the hotel since her so-called husband had done, and I quote, "So much good for us, we should do something good for him by treating you to a little 'you time'." Well, the 'you time' she could go for. Getting it for free because of her husband? Not so much. 'Aww... Is little Chichi upset cause she's gettin' free stuff? Don't be! If there's one thing that good for nothin' sorry son-of-a-bitch husband of yours is good for it's getting us stuff! You can use him once in a while, it 's only fair since he's been playing you you're entire life Hunee...' *I.. I guess you're right. Yeah! Of course! He pretended to love me all these years just so I could play housewife! I deserve somethin' outta this outfit!* Chichi smirked, she knew all about Chikianna's master plan.

After a week of relaxation, she was going back to the Amazon. "It's gonna be so good to see all my old relatives again! I might even go a couple rounds in the Annual Tournament.. Hey! That's this Friday!" Anyone who happened to be driving down that road at the time would have sworn this woman was an escapee from a loony bin or something! She was having a full-blown conversation with herself... Wow...

After another hour or so of talking to herself, Chichi pulled into the parking lot of a very, very nice motel! "Huh, WOW! Five-star hot spring eh? I can get used to this..." Chikianna smiled inside. 'Don't get too comfortable sweetie. We have a schedule to keep after all. We leave on Thursday night to stay with Aunt Noeleen. She lives three hours from here deep into the Amazonian forest.' *Alright, alright! Yeesh.. I understand our strict schedule ok? We'll leave at 5:00 Thursday, happy?* 'Practically jumping for joy...' Came the smart ass reply of her inner-self. 'Oh and Ms. Amazon?' *Huh...?* 'Tonight is the blue moon. You get to unleash your wild side!' "Wha-?" Was the only thing Chichi was able to get out before her whole body shook. She looked like she was having a seizure. Chichi just wanted it to end. Finally, everything began to fuzz, and she welcomed the darkness with open arms.

'Finally! Oh... It feels SO good to be back! I mean, Chichi had me locked away forever. She was stupid, to think she thought that just because you're married your Amazon side can't come back. Tsk tsk... And I thought Noeleen would have taught her better.' *Wha... what's going on here? How come I'm in the dark?* 'Oh poor naive Chichi... you should have learned by now that no matter if you're married or not, once the blue moon comes... you go Amazon!' *B-but... Aunt Noeleen said once I got married the Amazon curse would stop!* 'Dear sweet Chichi... Stupid, but sweet Chichi. Can't you listen? I swear. It pains me that we're the same person. It really does. She said as long as you were with him during the blue moon you wouldn't change. But you're not. You're way out here almost next door to the Amazon forest. You can't resist the change. Certainly not since the moon festival started on this night.' Chikianna smirked. 'You get to stay there all week long and enjoy yourself!'

Just then, it started to get a little lighter. *What's going on...?* Chichi hesitantly questioned. 'Ahh... I'm waking up, well, we're waking up. Just sit back and enjoy being Chikianna for the next week or so.' Chikianna closed her eyes and welcomed the warm touch of light that was coming in. Meanwhile, Chichi was cussing and yelling profanities that would've made a sailor blush.

The next thing Chikianna knew, she was laying on a couch being shaken by a very sexy... bell-boy, she guessed. 'Hmm... If every man in here looks like him, Chichi may not be as sexually frustrated by the time we get home!' She heard Chichi gasp internally. Apparently, she was doing her job right... "Oh Miss... You're alright," she heard the young man start, "We saw you pass out in the car out there and we had to make sure you were ok! Are you alright miss?" He had gorgeous blue-gray eyes. They looked almost like a gray wolf, Chikianna's favorite animal. His hair was strawberry blonde and a little long, but that made it all the better to play with now didn't it...?

'Mm mmm MM! Damn.. I may never leave the hotel room if they look this good! No comment from the peanut gallery?' *...* Chichi was in complete and utter shock. She. Wouldn't. Dare. Chikianna, still having not said a word aloud, looked around at her settings and noticed for the first time that they were in a secluded room. Alone. By themselves. And she was horny as hell... Not a good combination... In answer to his question, Chikianna smirked and sat up. The young man went to move back but she wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "Oh I am perfectly... fine..." She purred at him seductively. The man was caught a little off guard, but quickly caught on. He smirked at leaned down to attack her lips with his own. The ferocity! The roughness! The pure unadulterated passion... It was going to drive Chikianna insane. She pulled back some just to go right to his ear. "Hunee, I'm not gonna make it much longer if we don't get outta these clothes. One of us might just have a heat stroke.." The man smirked and started for his uniform buttons. Chikianna smiled ferociously. Now THIS was going to be a fun night!

~Day 2 At Mt. Paozu~

Back at Mt. Paozu the next day, an anxious Saiyan paced back and forth by the phone, while the blue-haired vixen sat at her computer trying to find some way to track Chichi. Bulma came over at 8:00 that morning. She was there as early as Vegeta would let her outta bed. When he heard that she was going to his arch nemesis, Kakkarot's house while his harpy wasn't there, they had some issues. After a nice long argument and at least two... ahem... 'I'm Sorry' sessions, he had reluctantly let her leave. Upon arriving she was met with two frantic Saiyans who had absolutely no clue how to do any sort of house work. Well, one who knew nothing and another who was frazzling himself out trying to explain it. Goku was unsuccessfully trying to make something that resembled a breakfast item. It made Bulma's stomach churn. There was batter all over the cabinets, dirt in the kitchen- obviously tracked in from the back door, a few broken plates, and food... All over the floor, table, and walls. She cleared her throat. Nothing. She tried again, a little louder. Not a single thing. "WHAT THE HELL? CAN YOU NOT HEAR ME?" Bulma screeched. She probably woke up the neighbors... The ones who lived 15 miles away...

Goku jumped at the sound trying to cover his ears and in the process, throwing the batter bowl right... on... Bulma. Gohan's jaw dropped. "Dad! I said dump the batter on the griddle! Not on Bulma!" He picked up a kitchen towel and ran over to help clean her off. Now. Heh... Now Bulma was pissed. She was already frustrated that they were ignoring her, but now throwing things on her? Aww hell no... So the screaming and shouting commenced. It was just like having Chichi back, but Goku wasn't sure if she was quite loud enough yet. With just a couple lessons from Chichi, she might just become as loud! He smiled at the thought of his little housewife teaching Bulma about being angry... The thought was just too funny and he started laughing in the middle of Bulma's ranting and raving.

'What the hell is he laughing at? Now I can see why Chi left! If he does this every time she yells I would have just left earlier! Damn, I don't see how she could make it this long!' Bulma grabbed a wooden spoon off the cabinet and calmly broke it over the head of the still laughing Saiyan. He abruptly stopped and stood straight, staring right at Bulma. Her baby blues narrowed into a glare, her peachy lips formed a scowl that would have made her Saiyan Prince proud. "And just what, may I ask, is so damned funny..?" Goku gulped nervously and stared at the ground. "Well, I was just picturing Chichi giving you lessons on how to be angry... It's actually pretty hilarious if you think about it!" He grinned and fought back the giggles. Bulma sighed. It would do her no good to get pissed off... yet. He still hadn't told her what happened with Chichi. Bulma took a hold of Goku's arm and led him to the couch. "Sit." She ordered. More like demanded if you will... Goku sat, not wanting to listen to her shrill piercing screams anymore.

'Well,' Bulma smirked 'at least he can follow minimal orders...' She turned around to have a conversation with little Gohan, asking if he could clean up the mess and maybe make some real food. He smiled a small, almost invisible, smile and began to clean. 'So young...' She turned back to the main object of interest. The big one. Bulma flopped onto the couch next to her long time best friend and started drumming her fingers on her thigh. "So...?" she started. Goku looked down at her confused. "So what?" Bulma clicked her tongue in annoyance. 'Yes... I most certainly would have left his sorry dense ass before now... But, it's part of his charm. It just gets ya drawn in I guess...' She sighed. "I mean, why did Chichi leave? What was the fight about now?" Goku explained everything that had happened and how she just "magically" got upset.

By the end of the story, Bulma's eye was twitching. 'He... He actually thought that Chichi would want to clean all this? Of her own free will?' Before she could open her mouth to put him in his place, Gohan popped his head through the door. "Hey guys? Brunch is ready!" Gohan smiled. "I made something mom taught me how to cook. It's like an omelet with steak, rice, and cheese mixed in. It's really good." He explained all the stuff and exactly what was in it on the way to the table.

"Damn!" Bulma cussed aloud. "There has got to be some fuckin' way to track Chichi! She couldn't have just disappeared into thin air!" It was hours past that delicious brunch, around 12 hours or so after. 'Making it 9:30... I've been at this for hours! I make it look like I'm an amateur! Huff! Really, a scientific genius and I can't even figure out where my best friend is... How sad is that?' She was on her fifth cup of coffee and polishing off her fourth powdered doughnut. She needed the energy. A thoroughly exhausted Saiyan walked up behind her. "Hey B, how much have you gotten done...? Maybe you outta take a break..." Bulma took another big swig of the scalding black liquid. "Nah, I'm fine Goku. Why don't you take Gohan and go on up to bed? I'll just be finishing this..." Goku frowned, "But-" Bulma threw a pencil over her shoulder at him, ending the conversation. Goku sighed. He could take a hint. "I'll be up in my room if you need anything. Just wake me up." Bulma waved over her shoulder and went back to typing on the illuminated screen.

'I can't stop until I find Chi, and believe me... I will find you Chichi..."

~The Night of Day 1~

Chikianna lay on the verge of sleep beside her already sleeping lover-of-the-night. She blinked sleepily one last time before closing her eyes and joining her counterpart in the black visage that was her mind.

*What the hell? You just slept with another man! We are fucking married and you go and sleep with him? Oh... This is horrible! How can you-* 'Will you stop? This was a team effort here. I am you, just the Amazon in you. What's the big deal? So we slept with the guy, big whoop.' Chichi nearly choked. *What's the big deal? WE. ARE. MARRIED!* Chikianna smiled. Chichi froze when she heard Chikianna's stolid reply 'To a man who doesn't love you. Never has, never will. Accept it and move on. That's what I'm helping you do here.' *...* 'Never looked at it that way huh? I'm not such a bad person Chi, I'm you before that block head. You used to love being this way; conniving, manipulative... You used to love using your charms to get what you wanted...' Chikianna's face fell. She had a sad look to her far away eyes. 'What happened to you...?' Chichi was quiet for a minute. She knew the answer, but it wouldn't come out. Chikianna shook her head. 'Pathetic. You're an Amazon. Act like it.' Chichi looked up, eyes ablaze. *Goku. He did this to me with all his lies! His pretending and faking did this!*

Chikianna smiled, a real smile. She was finally getting somewhere. 'That's great Hunee, but I'm exhausted. I just spent over an hour having the best time of our lives and I think that calls for a little rest, don't you?' Chichi blushed furiously at the memory of the past two hours. Chikianna smiled. It was going to be a great week...

TBC...

*Crickets* Wow... I did NOT expect that... And I'm the one who wrote it! Is Chichi dead to Goku forever? Will he ever find her? Who was that guy? All the questions and more answered in the next chapter of HWCHE.
