Chapter 2:
Kaori and Goten
A teenage girl was taking an evening stroll through the heart of her hometown, to get away from the craziness of her everyday life. The sun had almost vanished into the horizon, as the last of it's orange hue rested upon the empty streets.
Her name was Kaori; a timid and lonesome girl. The time of day where everyone was headed home for dinner, was the time she preferred to take her walk, just to avoid the company of other people. Kaori was passing by the park, and briefly watched the abandoned swings rock back and forth over the gritty sand. The bird's cheerful whistles started to die out, as dusk was soon upon them. Kaori turned back and was about to head home, until the faint chirps were completely drowned out by the sound of playful singing. She turned back and looked all around her, she saw nothing. She looked at the townspeople who were still getting home, none of them seemed to notice it.
Did they not hear it? she thought.
The sound drew her attention to a thick grove of trees in the distance. Without even giving a second thought, Kaori sprinted toward the woods. The singing did not grow loud or faint, as she ventured deeper and deeper into the forest. After good number of twists and turns, Kaori exited from the wooded maze, and into a quiet spring that was guarded by rock walls, and even more trees. She took quick notice at a person who was sitting atop one of the rocks, while kicking his legs over the clear water.
It was little boy no older than seven, a child with wild, black hair. He stared down into the water while singing a happy tune, the same one that drew Kaori to this spot. The boy looked down at her, and the two exchanged glances for a moment.
"H-hey," the boy said. "can you... see me?"
"What?" Kaori responded. "Of course I can see you, you're sitting in plain view." The boy's eyebrows raised, and his mouth hung slightly opened.
"It's very rare for a human to see us, you must be one of those 'special' people!"
"W wha?" Kaori had absolutely no idea what he was talking about, needless to say. The boy jumped down from his perch, then grabbed Kaori by the hand.
"Come with me. I wanna show you to someone!"
Show me to someone? What am I, a puppy!? Kaori's thoughts were interrupted.
"Can you fly?" the boy asked.
What? Fly? Was this kid nuts? "N no..."
"No problem!" the boy chirped, then slung Kaori over his shoulder and took off into the sky.
Kaori's eyes widened as the ground grew more distant. And to top it all off, her life was literally in the hands of a seven year old. In a matter of minutes, the kid landed at his destination, setting a still shocked Kaori on the ground. She was pale, and had an almost comical look on her face. The boy took her by the hand again, and led her to a grassy spot where a man was relaxing. The man looked like an older version of the child; same hair, same face, and even the same clothes.
"Goten, who is this?" the man spoke.
"She can see us!" the boy answered. "She's a rare 'special' person!" The man approached a very confused Kaori, then took a good look at her.
"How did you find him?"
"I... I could hear him from my town." she answered shyly.
"A Chosen..." the man muttered.
"A Chosen!?" the boy, Goten exclaimed. "Awesome! So that's what a Chosen looks like!"
"Chosen?" That was all Kaori could manage to say. A smile spread all over Goten's little face, as he was very amused by all this.
"Who do you think her protector is?" The turned to him and said,
"Goten, her protector... is YOU."
"Me!?" the smile vanished. "But I can't do it! I have almost no experience fighting, and wouldn't know the first thing about protecting a Chosen!" The man looked back at Kaori.
"What is your name?"
"I... I'm... Kaori..." she said.
"Alright, listen Kaori, there is a special... school, where Chosen like you go. However, if you decide to go, you won't be able to return home for quite some time."
"I don't know..." Kaori responded. Aside from making her family worry by pulling a vanishing act, she didn't like being away from home for too long, and the thought of being surrounding by complete strangers made her very nervous. "I... I'll do it." she was going to take a huge leap of faith on this one.
"Awesome." the man said. "And until Goten can protect you on his own, I will look out for the both of you, and step in, in case things start to get out of hand."
"But, what exactly is a Chosen?" Kaori asked. The man turned around and started to walk off.
"Don't worry. You'll find out soon enough..." He continued on, before coming to a halt and looking back at her. "I almost forgot to introduce myself! My name is Son Goku, and that is my son, Goten. I will see you two later, I have to tell Baba we found one of the Chosen. Goten, I want you to get Kaori to the school safely." After saying all this, Goku held his index and middle fingers to his forehead, then vanished.
"Yes, dad..." Goten answered, then turned to Kaori. "Let's go, Kaori-san!"
