I own no dragon ball series

Poor Chi was getting nowhere. She was constantly setting up interviews and looking through the want adds but she just couldn't quite find a job right for her. There were some places that had terrible hours, others that didn't give decent enough pay, and some that she just couldn't get because of lack of experience. When she did happen to stumble upon something good enough she wasn't able to concentrate during the interview and she'd blow it.

Usually she was really good at that sort of thing. She'd always dress nice, and prepare herself but she just couldn't focus on what the interviewer was saying and even though he didn't say anything on the topic, she knew he didn't like her. What was the reason for her lack of concentration? Goku.

The man would not leave her thoughts. She kept thinking about him and his proposal to live with him. She was beginning to even have dreams about him and what living with him would be like. Some of the dreams didn't even make any sense, like the one where they were flying on the back of a yellow cloud searching for a magic fan to save a castle that was engulfed in flames.

All she wanted was some time to cool off. She was going through so many changes right now. It's hard enough adjusting to being a high school graduate and rediscovering your sexuality but now she had to deal with a dense all-powerful immortal being who had the hots for her. She felt her cheeks get warmer the more she thought of him. Oh no! She could honestly be blushing could she?

Okay she'd admit it. She really liked the guy; maybe enough to even love him. His offer did make a lot of sense in a way. She adored GJ and it would save her a lot of money to live with him rather than spend so much cash on dorming with some other college student that the school would just stick her with to share a room, and Pan certainly did have a lovely home. It was just that for the longest time she had always had a set plan and this would change it all. Not to mention she just got out of a very serious relationship and while she accepted that she was not physically attracted to Ophelia she was in love with her. Was it wrong to fall in love with some one else so quickly after a break up? Sigh, this was all just so confusing.

She was now resorting to scrimping to save money. She could have taken a bus home from that terrible interview but to save a quick zeni she decided to walk the 21 blocks home. She hated how cheap she was becoming. She made her way up to her apartment building, by now she was dog tired, and reached into her bag for her keys.

Rustle

Chi quickly jerked around when she heard something. She saw nobody there. Once again she was being paranoid. This was exactly how she first met Goku. Chi mentally slapped herself for thinking of him again. She was trying to clear her mind of that subject. She made her way into her home, shrugging off the noise she heard. Obviously it was nothing.

She had no idea that there was a very sick man watching her go into her apartment. She was completely oblivious of the one that she feared most, Patrick Ross. You see last year this man named Patrick had dated Chimerra. They were only together for a short period of time but they hit it off quickly. Patrick knew he was in love. So in love that he wanted her all for himself. They didn't need any friends or family, they just needed each other. He adored her and she adored him too. She just needed to be reminded every now and again that she should just stick by him. Sometimes she would wander off, spend more times with others than with him and make bad decisions. She had even cheated on him. There was no proof and all evidence pointed otherwise but he could just feel it. She even had the nerve to lie to him and tell him she didn't. He straitened her out for that even though she still said she didn't.

Then that dumb bitch Ophelia came into the picture. He told his girl to keep away from her but that dumb blond refused to leave them alone. She filled Chimerra's mind with nonsense, telling her that he was no good. Sure he wasn't perfect. Every now and then he'd punish her more than necessary but he told her he was sorry and it was for her own good. If it weren't for Ophelia Chimerra would have never turned on him. She blew that broken arm way out of proportion. Calling the cops on him was completely uncalled for. He had spent months in jail and many more months on probation, but all that time he had never stopped thinking about his girl.

If she thought of him as the bad guy, fine he'd play the bad guy. He was the real victim in this situation, he was completely sure of it. Spending all that time being punished for something just between the two of them while she was out screwing around. He knew she was, he was sure, probably with the whole neighborhood! Well now it was time to give her the biggest punishment of her life! He'd show her a thing or two.

It took Patrick a while to find her. He had wasted over a week waiting for her outside her café every night this week to get the jump on her, only to find out she didn't work there anymore. Now she was really gonna get it for making him waste all that time and spend all those nights in a café parking lot. He should have just checked where she lived in the first place. But at least now enough time had past where he were sure she had forgotten about him so she wouldn't see him coming and tonight he was gonna give it to her at her own house. Payback is a bitch as she'd soon see.

He followed her up to her apartment; close enough to tail her but still far enough away so that she wouldn't notice him. Although it would hardly matter tonight, she was so lost in her own thoughts that she wouldn't have noticed if he walked right beside her.

Once inside she made her way to her bedroom hoping that a good nights rest would having her feeling better. She was exhausted from doing so much thinking. She wasn't getting anywhere and it was making her head hurt.

Just as she shut her eyes she heard something outside. Slowly she crept out of her room to see what the ruckus was. The front door was rattling. Who or what on earth could be doing that? She wasn't expecting company and tonight was another one of Momma's late nights, she wouldn't be home this early.

She was about to unlock the door to see for herself when she heard the answer. One that sent shivers down to her core.

"Heh, heh! Knock, knock? Anyone wanna come out and play? Ha, ha!"

Oh my god! She hadn't heard that voice in so long but it had kept her company in her nightmares. Patrick was back and was trying to break into her home. She panicked in her mind. No! He couldn't be out on parole already! This was too soon! She never wanted to see him again! How could he be here?

She backed away from the door as she hyperventilated. Her old fear of men, the one that she had buried deep inside of her since she had become friends with Goku had resurfaced and hit her full on. She couldn't stop herself from panicking.

She ran for the nearest phone and dialed Goku's number as fast as she could. Every ring that she heard seemed to last for eternity! Why wasn't he picking up? Since the day they met he was always there when she was in danger, why couldn't she get a hold of him now?

She didn't know that the reason he was no where near a telephone was because he was still flying home from a visit from her father and even with their amazing speed there was no way they would be anywhere near home in time to hear this phone call.

She slammed the phone down on its hook as she heard her ex boyfriend get closer to breaking down the door. In the neighborhood that she lived in the cops wouldn't show up and it didn't matter if she called them because they too would not be able to get there in time.

She slid down the wall into a corner and brought her knees close to her chest as if that would protect her from what was about to come. The only thing that stopped her from screaming was the thought of Goku. Why was it that even in a situation like this she still couldn't get her mind away from the man? For a brief moment she thought that maybe if she just concentrated hard enough on him, he would be able to sense her distress and he'd come to her rescue like he always did, but the problem with that was she didn't know completely how his sensing abilities worked. Would he sense her distress? It wasn't a reliable plan if she didn't know if it would work.

With one more slam on the door, it broke down and the crazy young man, with his cynical, dark gaze slowly entered. Patrick had such a crazy look in his eyes as he menacingly approached her. Her heart almost stopped.

What would Goku do if he were here right now?

This question seemed to scream inside of her head so loud that it seemed to be shouting louder than her own inner screams of terror. Just barley but it was enough to make her shakily stand up as Patrick came closer. She knew the answer but the question was, was she strong enough of a person to take care of this on her own?

GJ and Goku were flying home from Mr. Firmsby's place. It would have been faster to just use instant transmission but after that disaster they could use the flight to just cool off. That went worst than they expected. There was probably no way her father would give Chi that money and if she ever found out that they went behind her back and interfered with her family's privet business she'd most likely be furious. They had no idea where to go from here. Chi was broke and wanted nothing to do with them. They were stuck with no ideas.

Goku looked back to his young great, great grandson. He looked so disappointed. Goku hung back a little so that the two of them were flying side by side. He was already flying slower than usual because GJ was still a new flyer and not yet able to keep up with his amazing speed.

Of coarse Goku was taking losing Chi the worst but poor GJ was still just a kid going through a hard time now. He deserved to have that family he was longing for even if it would be a bit odd.

"Hey…" Goku said to get his attention. He needed to say some thing to cheer the boy up. Maybe if Goku Jr. saw that he didn't feel hopeless, than he wouldn't either.

"If you don't stop looking so glum and start paying attention to where you are flying, you're bound to crash into something." Goku offered the advice with a smile in which GJ returned. It was a small one and it was easy to tell the kid was still sad but it was a start.

It was then that Goku's smile was replaced by an expression of shock. He could feel that his woman was terrified. There was something wrong. What was worse was that the more he concentrated on her, the more he noticed what was going on around her. Chi was not alone. She was with someone who had ill intent towards her.

Not wanting to upset his great, great grandson further with his grandma Chi's distress he remained calm as he said to him. "GJ there's something important that I just remembered I need to take care of. Can you make it back home without me?"

GJ gave him a confused look. "Uh, sure grandpa but what-"

"Thanks!" Before he could explain he had already used his instant transmission to get out of there. He rematerialized just outside of Chi's apartment.

This time he would not fool around. He was ready to unleash hell upon whoever it was that raised their hand against his woman. He would make it clear that no one, no one was aloud to step out on her. His heavy angry steps thundered across the ground as he furiously marched his way up the stairs to her apartment. His face was set in a quiet rage ready to reign down upon this attacker. He rounded the corner and just as he made his way to her room and stepped inside he was shocked to find the predicament she was in.

She wasn't in danger. In fact if anyone was in trouble it was this so called attacker. He lay curled up in a heap on the floor, bruised and beat up and Chi stood threateningly over him respectively kicking him in the stomach. Beads of sweat pooled off of her. Her eyes held a focused intensity as she gazed down upon her defeated foe and as she continued her barrage of blows she let out angry feral grunts to match his pained whimpers.

Goku had forgotten how well she could take care of herself in these situations. He was so wrapped up in her sad stories of abuse he had almost forgotten how she refused to take crap from anyone who dared to treat her so shamefully. The way she appeared now looked so much like how she did back in the old days and seeing her in action like this, Goku thought she couldn't look any lovelier. It was like one of those moments in the movies where time slows down and beautiful music could be heard. He savored this beautiful moment, this beautiful violent moment.

She let out one final kick to her ex boyfriend before she finally stopped to notice Goku standing there. He just gazed at her happily as he spoke the only words that came to his mind. "You're pretty strong."

It took a few minutes before Chi could stop panting. It wasn't easy but she had finally faced her fear, and gave him a good beating too. She couldn't help but smile back.

"Yeah… I guess so…"

So yeah. Tell me what you think. Not my best chapter but I'd still like to hear from you. I went through my reviews to help me break my writers block and I found one that suggested that I give Chi a chance to kick some butt since Chi chi was once the strongest woman on earth.

By the way it is either going to be the next chapter or the one after that, that's going to wrap this thing up and end it. So all of your questions will be answered. See ya then.
