A/N: Alright I am back! Phew, this chapter took a bit longer then I first thought it would. I already finished it the day I posted the first chapter. But when I read it again a day later, I wasn't pleased… at all. So I ended up writing more than 5 different versions in total until I came up with this one. Still not satisfied, but it will have to do.

Hope you like and many thanks for the reviews, faves and follows!

Chapter two: For I Know Not What I Do

The bright, warm summer day had reached its end. And all though Goku had managed to entertain himself for the entire day- he still couldn't completely fight of the rotten feeling of disappointment.

No matter what he had ended up doing to keep him occupied, if there was one moment of silence in between, he ended up frowning. He knew he could have spent the entire afternoon doing something entirely different and it was taken from him rather… un-expectantly.

Of all the days Goku could have messed up and piss off ChiChi, why damn it, why did it have to be today?!

After being together for a few weeks, or was it a bit longer? He wasn't sure,…

Either way, Goku was quick to learn exactly what would set ChiChi off. One of them being hygiene. She was dead set up on having at least his pair of hands spot clean before he threw himself on top of the mountains of food that she had prepared for him.

"Oh no Son Goku!" he could still recall the first time she snapped at him when he was about to use his muddy fingers to dive in to the food, "I have worked too hard and too long for this to be perfect! You are not going soil it with the taste of mud! Honestly Goku, don't you have any manners?!"

She had made him wash his hands and wouldn't stop glaring at him until he got rid of every last piece of mud. It took a few times for him to mess it up again, but after two weeks, he had actually gotten used to washing his hands. Hell, he'd made a habit of washing his hands so often, he was convinced his hands were paler then the rest of his body.

So why?! Why did he let the excitement of today's possible events make him forget such a vital step?! Why did he have to piss her off?!

All morning he had been bouncing up and down, hardly able to focus on his usual routine of training. For his plans to take ChiChi down that lake that afternoon stopped him from thinking straight.

Just the mere thought of seeing her, at that lake like he had seen her the day before? His throat still ran dry just thinking about it.

He had been training quite a bit that afternoon which he had ended by a long lasting jog around the plains of Mount Paozu. And once he decided he was finished he had set his mind on locating ChiChi's ki.

Knowing that that would lead him back home and hoping with all his might she had a few snacks waiting for him. With a hungry grin on his face and no further thoughts in his mind he just followed her ki and ended up almost tumbling into a lake hidden deep within the forest.

Confused, he had looked up and around with wide eyes. This was not where their house was at…

Scanning the area he was quick to find his young wife, standing at the far end of the lake across. Her tiny bare feet balancing on the rocky surroundings as the thick and lush greenery surrounded them.

This, Goku thought, was a perfect hide out and obviously ChiChi had agreed. For she was standing on the edge of a rock, sticking out over the water. Her bare feet gracefully keeping her in balance. Goku couldn't see clearly what she was doing, for she was moving oddly. Was she going to jump in the water? Why is she moving her shoulders and-

Holy!

His eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets when he watched ChiChi slowly undress herself. From the distance he could barely see the tiny smile of content on her face as she removed her clothes.

And then… She was naked.

She. Was. Naked.

Naked?!

Holy! Now he knew girls were crazy, just when he thought he was beginning to understand them better- she goes and does this!

Her smile turned into a excited grin while she raised her arms above her head, bent her knees and ever so gracefully dived into the cool water of the lake.

His eyes still as wide as saucers while his throat tried to work down the loads of water pooling in his mouth. She came back to the surface with eyes closed and hands caressing through her hair.

To say that Goku was confused was actually an understatement.

One of his first lessons about the differences between boys and girls were really simple. He was not, under any kind of circumstances allowed to look at girls getting naked. Normal girls, most girls wouldn't ever expose themselves like that.

Unless! And this had been advice given to him by Master Roshi himself, unless these girls wanted to have sex.

Wait… was she going to have sex?! He paused at that, sensing no other person was around, would ChiChi have sex by herself? Can anyone have sex by themselves? Why was she naked?!

He was sweating. He should just turn and walk away. Leave her be, leave her alone. And… and… he couldn't move.

ChiChi would probably kill him if she knew he was watching her.

But he still couldn't move.

The only thoughts that actually would allow his body to move was when he had the fleeting image of getting undressed himself and join her in the lake. His palms were getting sweaty and with his jaws clenched he had watched her slowly swim around in circles.

He didn't know his mouth was wide open. He didn't know his entire body was humming. All he felt was the strange pull on his eyes, drawn towards the naked girl swimming around.

Naked ChiChi swimming around. Not a care in the world, no angry snaps, no blushes, no fussing about and no words.

Just her, the silence of the forest and the water. Freely gliding around without a care in the world.

A fluttering sensation flew through him when he realized how well she fitted in this surrounding.

He had licked his dry lips and just stood there, unmoving for a very long time. He didn't even try to hide himself behind the rocks and he didn't need to. Not once did ChiChi look up into his direction or in any kind of direction for that matter.

He felt the power of moving come back to him once she swam back to the shore. Her back directed towards him once she had lifted herself on the rocky banks of the lake. Lazily walked towards her disregarded clothes, picked them up and then, took off in to the forest.

Goku didn't even think about moving, his body acted out on instinct- led by pure fascination as well as curiosity. He needed to see what she was going to do next.

He couldn't be bothered by the flood of excitement rushing through his veins once he had casted a perfect view on her retrieving form.

Her rear looked nice… they looked strong yet soft and curvy at the same time. He never actually looked at a girl's rear before. Then again, no naked body had ever caught his eye as long and strong as hers did right at that moment.

She had stopped once she had reached a fresh and clean looking patch of grass covered by the faint shadow of a tree. Then, placed her clothes on the ground, laid down and rested her head on top it. And soon enough the girl was lost in a peaceful slumber.

AND… She was still naked.

Her eyes closed.

And still naked.

Goku stood from a safe distance, careful to not snap twigs or branches as he leered around a thick, sturdy tree.

'Ah man!' Goku thought to himself, the things he would have given to just join her right then and there.

No rules that bound those damned clothes to their bodies. Just be who they were and sit in silence. Or maybe talk, that wouldn't be a bother. Just… to be free. Together.

Finding his own spot in the shadows far away but still close enough for him to watch her breathe easily.

He decided he actually liked seeing ChiChi naked. Those bouncy balls on her chests looked… well, they looked appealing. He titled his head to the side slightly once that notion came to mind. He wondered if he would ever be allowed to touch them?

No, he frowned at that. Probably not. She didn't want to have sex and those were the only times people were allowed to touch those balls.

Which was a shame, he thought.

He didn't remember how long it was until she had woken up again. She stretched her lithe body and slowly made work to get up and dressed again. Goku couldn't ignore the ping of disappointment he had felt at that.

She never knew he had been watching her the entire time, in fact when she got back home all covered up, he came back wandering in acting as if he had just returned home from another wild adventure. Which was the truth only she didn't need to know what kind of adventure that was!

She cooked dinner, they talked and then he took a hot bath. When he came back, she was sound asleep in their bed.

He had would have gone to sleep himself, had it not been for the fact that the warmth of her sleeping form beside him kept him wide awake.

Images of her naked body in the water, in the sun. Why couldn't she be like that all the time? She stirred in her sleep which prompted him to look at her only to be greeted by a bundle of black hair. Undoubtedly his wife's sleeping face hidden well beneath it.

He always wondered that about girls. With their hair looking so long and plentiful, how the hell could they move around without being annoyed by the strains of long hair constantly smashing their face? In fact, wouldn't this be a bother either? He couldn't even see her face! Could she even breathe?!

Knowing she was deep asleep Goku laid down on his side facing her. His hand slowly reached out towards her hair as he very carefully tried to brush it back behind her hair. Brow quirked up in surprise once he found how light and… silky it felt.

He had spent a few long minutes watching her peaceful face sleeping, a constant reminder of who she was that afternoon. He wondered… would she have done the same if he had been there?

Would she let him join her? He truly hoped she would.

He felt his entire body flare up in excitement with the mere thought. And, right before sleep took him over, he decided he would try to convince her to spent the day with him.

Take her with him on another trip on Nimbus and end up at that lake!

It was enough to wake him up with a broad smile on his face the following morning. Finding a new source of energy coursing through his veins, very well aware that this energy had nothing to do with his desire to train or even eat. Not this time. It had everything to do with that young woman, standing in the kitchen preparing his breakfast.

A sigh of disappointment left his lungs as he sat on Nimbus, tittering through the darkened sky- thoughts as to how his plans of spending that afternoon had been blown to pieces. By now an entire day had passed and he did not get to spend it anywhere near ChiChi or that lake.

He had messed up. Didn't wash his hands when he had returned home for lunch. And she snapped. She really, really snapped and raised her voice to such an extent it had left Goku cringing. The beeping sound resonating through his head wouldn't leave for a long time.

Damn it! How could he have forgotten?! Why?! Why today of all days did he have to forget this tiny stupid little step?!

And he was close to freaking out when it appeared that even after trying to clumsily correct his wrong doings, she was still mad! Furious!

There were tears in her eyes. Her face turned red and she threw a couple of things through the kitchen before storming off and leaving him all to himself with his lunch.

Girls were strange, he had concluded yet again. It must be the effects of the long and hot summer.

After that incident Goku had left their home, disappointed he called for Nimbus. Maybe it would be better to leave her be for now.

So he had spent a good long portion of the evening with Nimbus, tittering around above the wide area that surrounded Mount Paozu, which in its' turn was now slowly covered in a faint darkened blanket.

The world was peacefully quiet as Nimbus flew him around, occasionally his loyal friend took a deep dip down towards the Earth in a maddening speed. Knowing it would bring a fit of joyous laughter from his rider.

But as the evening had stretched on, Goku yawned deeply, lazily stretching his arms and back.

"It's time to head back Nimbus," Goku said, "ChiChi must be waiting for me."

The cloud made a quick sharp turn and headed back towards Goku and ChiChi's home.

Before long, Nimbus made a steep dip towards the grounds, revealing their dome shaped home. Goku got up on his feet, jumped off and rushed into their, surprisingly, darkened home.

"ChiChi! I am back!" he called. "I am going to bed now!" he called again and was on his way up the staircase. Stopping once he realized that he did not sense ChiChi's familiar ki anywhere near their home.

"ChiChi?" frowning he walked back down the staircase, "Where are you?"

It didn't take him long to locate his young wife's ki, though far into the forest he made quick work to reach her. Finding her at the familiar lake hidden deep within the forest with her boots by her side and feet dangling into the water. He had seen her here before. He grinned at that.

"ChiChi! There you are!" he had called happily only to startle her and earn back an angry yell.

She was still mad.

"Sorry about that!" he said at her previous snap and slightly cowering at the annoyed look in her face. Quick to change the subject he pointed towards her boots, "Why aren't ya wearing your boots?".

He had thought it was pretty odd for her to be sitting there, all by herself. Starring into the water. Images of seeing her here the first time came back, quite the contrast of how she was now.

"Just giving my tired feet a break." she answered and turned back to the lake.

"Oh…" that was weird. Where's the fun in that? Curiosity always getting the better of him and he was quick to remove his own boots and sat down beside her. His feet dangling in the luke warm water not feeling any kind of relief once his feet were in place.

"So why are we doing this?"

"Because my feet hurt, besides I like the feeling of cold water touching my skin." she answered, her eyes still on the lake.

"Oh…" he couldn't relate to that. Feeling the annoyed sense of boredom coming up he leaned back and looked into the water. Really, not finding anything relaxing at this point. That was until…

He turned his gaze towards her. She was quiet, eyes still locked on the water. Her hair hung loose around her shoulders. As pitch black as his own. Knowing how soft they were before and was surprised to find his hands itching to touch them again.

He could barely see her eyes from the side, though not as wide and happy as he liked them. There was a glistering in them, tilting his head to the side and glancing briefly to the lake he realized it was the reflection shining in them.

He actually wanted to lean in closer and get a better look, he liked to see her eyes.

That's when she turned to him and he was barely able to stop himself jumping alongside his heart, "Hi…" he said weakly with a smile.

She smiled at that, "Hi.."

Yes! She wasn't angry anymore! But then her smile was gone and she turned to look back at the lake.

Crap, now he'll have to be quiet even longer.

"Goku?" she asked.

"Yeah?" he replied almost a bit too eager.

"Do you like being my husband?" her voice was tiny, which Goku felt was a bit weird. Not just the tone of her voice, but the question. Hadn't she figured out by now that he liked being married? Promise or not, he would not have gotten back home every night for the past few weeks if he didn't like being married to her.

Plus, the food! He truly was happy, deliriously happy when she managed to cook all those wonderful meals for him. She was a great cook.

Thinking of the food and her good company he grinned, "Of course I do! You're a really great cook!"

Now hearing that used to pleased her. Except this time he wasn't sure, for she made a funny sound and then rather angrily grabbed the grass. Plus, he felt a slight rise in her energy.

"Is… something wrong?"

She heaved a heavy sigh, "Do you know what married couples do? Besides living and eating together?"

He blinked, pondered and then said, "Should there be more?"

At this she seemed to collapse, almost. Goku panicked and sat up straight, "I never should have forced you to marry me…" she mumbled took her boots and removed her feet out of the water. Slowly she stood up with a very sad look on her face.

Wait, what?! His mind screamed, now what the hell did he do wrong this time?!

"What makes you say that?!" he asked.

"Never mind Goku, let's just go home." she walked away from him, set out into the forest.

Without a second thought he had jumped up and ran after her, "No! Tell me, did I do something wrong?!" he said and circled around her. Nervously walking backwards in front of her.

She snapped, "What's wrong?! What's the matter?! You really want to know what is wrong right now Goku?!" he yelped at that but kept on walking in the same position, her teary angry eyes glared at him when she pulled to a sudden stop.

Here comes the screaming, Goku thought and braced himself, "Everything Goku! Every. Damn. thing!" the last part came out as a screech and Goku couldn't help but to cover his ears.

Too loud, too loud!

Then there was another growl as she rushed around him and practically ran through the forest.

Why?! She didn't want to be married to him anymore?! What the hell did he do wrong this time?! Is it because he forgot to wash his hands before lunch?! Or maybe he should have come back sooner when he left, or maybe he should have stayed till she came back. Or maybe she knew he had been watching her naked the day before?!

Panic rose up inside of him and before he knew it he had already gained in on her and grabbed her arm, forcing her to stop running.

"Let go Goku!" she spat but he didn't. Anger be damned, screams be damned. For once he'd actually liked to know why the hell he got her angry.

"Whatever it is I will try to make it better?" he asked desperately which had earned a strange sounding laugh coming from her.

"I don't think you can do that Goku." she replied and tried to pull back her arm from him.

"I don't want you to be angry with me!" his grip tightened.

She spun around with her mouth ready for a battle of words, but stopped once she looked at him. Eager to take this moment of silence Goku quickly said, "Tell me what's wrong."

She looked down while her breaths came out in raging forms, "I don't want to fight tonight Goku, I just want to go home and talk tomorrow."

"Why not now?"

"Because,… because I am too angry!"

"Why?"

"Argh, Goku! You like me because I am a great cook?!" he flinched at the height of her voice, reigning his ears.

Again, too loud!

"Look at you! No.. better yet, look at us!" he wanted to, he wanted to listen to her raging on and on about whatever the hell was wrong with him now. But damn, it was too loud. He took a tiny step back and looked at her in terror, stop with the screaming, stop with the screaming!

"I… I should never have forced you into this…" she finally said her eyes filling up with tears.

No, no, no don't cry! Everything but cry! Please scream instead! Goku's mind was reeling, this was getting very complicated to keep track off. First the screaming, now the crying. What the hell was he supposed to do with the-

Wait, what did she say?

"But… I like being married to you."

She raised her head at this and looked at him oddly, "You like being married to me?" when he nodded she laughed bitterly, "Right, so why do you flinch when I try to kiss you?"

He paused at that, "I… I don't know. I think it's… kind of weird."

"That's just it Goku, married couples- couples in love. They kiss. All the time! But you and I? Ulgh…" she groaned and rubbed the rim of her nose, "You and I are nowhere near being a couple in love. I mean-" she used her fingers to dry the trails of tears down her cheeks, "You are nowhere near in being love with me and no matter what I do… I just can't seem to make you… like me."

"I like you!"

"Why do you always freak out when I try to touch you?!" she spat at him and he stepped back, "Even when it's accidental, you jump back in fear! Why is that Goku?! You do that with all the people you like?!"

"I…erhm…" he didn't know how to answer that.

"Tell me Goku, in all honesty please tell me, do you like me for the girl I am or just because I am a great cook?!"

"No, well, you are a great co-" her growl of anger cut him off.

"That's it! Because I am a great cook! So this is the life you see us leading? Me cooking you dinners and always waiting for you to come home?! Me slaving away at that stove without as much as a simple… kiss?!"

Actually, yes… but that wouldn't be a right answer would it?

Before he realized it she had spun around and set off to run away from him again. Goku was growing tired of this.

"I should have known, I am so stupid, stupid!" he heard her cussing at herself.

He ran after her, "ChiChi?! Wait up!" he yelled and once he had reached her he grabbed her arm he roughly turned her around.

"I wasn't finished talkin' yet!" she refused look up at him, but that didn't stop him.

"I don't just like you because you're a great cook, I like you because you're funny, you laugh funny and when you smile? I feel like smiling too! Even when most of the time I don't know why you smile. And, and, and did you know that when you smile or even frown, your nose does something funny?"

He was a tad bit surprised himself to mention all of this in one breath.

"And I like that. I like watching your nose doing funny things. And I like coming home, not because of the food, but because of you."

Which was the truth! He held back a victorious laugh at this. From looking at her surprised gaping face and from hearing his own words leave his mouth he knew he had said the right things.

He did in fact like that funny thing she did with her nose, which he had noticed from the moment she first had approached him at the tournament.

And he spent an entire day pouting about the fact that he couldn't be spending it with ChiChi.

She had no idea what she was talking about.

"Really?" she asked him.

"Yeah!" he laughed nervously at that and placed his hand behind his head, "I might not know what husband and wives do all the time, but I can always learn. You can teach me!"

A tiny smile came on her face, blinking her teary eyes, "You sure you're up to that?"

He released a gulp of air once he knew he had stopped her from screaming and crying all together. Anything to stop that, everything to see that smile.

"Even when it means that sometimes we have to kiss? And I have to touch you at places you're not used to being touched?"

He raised an eyebrow, "Oh, so you mean you want to give this sex thing a try?!"

Her face fell which shook him, "Married couples don't just have sex Goku, they make love."

He let out a small "Oh…" whatever the hell that meant. "I'll give it a try?"

"You would?" she asked.

"If it makes you happy, I will!" he replied and then she squealed.

Dropping her boots she flew up against him, wrapped her arms around his neck. "Thank you so much Goku!" she screamed loudly as she clung on to him.

He flinched at the sudden movement and loud cries and quickly said, "Erh, sure. Anything!"

Quickly she let go of him and grabbed his arm, dragging him into their home she practically threw him in the house, her excitement so clear it had honestly baffled him.

He watched her run through the house, turning the locks on the windows and doors. Then with a skip in her step she came back to him, took his hand in hers and dragged him up the stairs.

"Chi, wha-" he had tried to say, but she silenced him with a finger against his lips. He looked at her confusedly, but she didn't care to notice. She rushed towards the windows and shut the curtains, switched on one of the bedside lamps and then once again came back to him.

"Okay!" she said breathlessly, "Sit down." her voice continued only it had set on a sweet tone.

Again he gulped as he sat down on the bed.

She seemed to be truly happy and although it was something he loved seeing, -more than the tears she was drowning in earlier anyway- he still couldn't help fight off the daunting fear sweeping down on him.

Fear that he would mess it up again. For, really, he seemed to easily set her of in any kind of emotional fit and most of the time he had no idea what he had done to set her off.

This time, he did however. He had given her promises he wasn't sure he could keep up. At least, not the way she might hope he would.

"So…" he heard his own voice crack through the silence, "What now?"

Again he gulped and flashed her a smile, he hoped to Kami that it seemed like a genuine smile.

"We kiss."

She moved to sit down beside him. He clenched his jaw fists gripping the fabric of his pants.

He really, really, really didn't enjoy kissing. What's so great about one's pair of lips touching the other? Or even touching any other part of the other's body? You use your mouth to eat, speak, laugh and yell. Why the hell did anyone-

"Goku?" her soft voice snapped him out of his thoughts. With a jolt he turned his face to look at her and nearly panicked when he had noticed the sad look in those big eyes of hers.

"Right, kiss!" he said and tried to sound eager. Willing just to do about anything to keep her from crying.


To Be Continued…

A/N: Phew! Hope you didn't mind seeing a part of the first chapter come back to you through Goku's POV! I just felt people needed to know what Goku was going through- ChiChi truly has no idea. At the same time I hope I haven't managed to turn this section of the story into one of those, "OMG Goku does love her and will show her!" because really, he truly does not know what he does.

Which reminds me, both chapters hold titles that I have 'borrowed' from a song which has served as my main inspiration to write. If anyone can guess which song that is, will receive the most awesomest of awesomest and deliriously delicious digital cookies ever known by man! And who knows?! A G/CC story request?

Please review people! Next chapter will contain a lot of fluff by the way and maybe a bit of….

TaTa!
