Chapter 17: Holding on

A/N: Another update, another dose of Kakarot/Chi-Chi. Also for fun, i've decided to run a new poll regarding this fic, personally regarding the ending I have many ones I want to do, but there can only be 1 real ending. So Place your votes on which one you want to see, and get your friends to vote as well. I'm interested in how you guys want this to end.

Chi-Chi took a tactical retreat from her home, and her life following the abduction of Chaotzu. She had enough money saved up to take a year long holiday if she wished and still be more than fine financially, but this wasn't about enjoying herself this was about surviving. Currently she was doing the best thing, lounging in a northern city, it was quiet and removed from her normal way of life.

Except…

"Well Zamasu?"

In response, a voice chuckled over the scouter. "Please, what did you think I found?"

"Will you just fucking tell me!"

"Temper, temper." The male scolded, making him clench his jaw. "I know you've had suspicions, otherwise you wouldn't have called me. Please give me some credit." The thick reverberating growl was ignored as the voice on the other end continued. "There were so many goodies for me to watch…so many interesting and familiar traits."

The primitive systems that Earth used were easily compromised by Zamasu's superior ones, like all things that allowed him to trace the data that had led to Mrs. Black's information gathering only trickled into another smaller pool. Someone placed the data in storage, and it was accessible.

"Captured… She was in fact captured, the entire story of her death was a well practiced charade, and it worked quite well I might add. There are so many goodies detailing everything… They withheld her child-oh, or no, that wouldn't be correct, it would be your child wouldn't it?" The voice laughed, a few clicks and taps from keys escaping through the scouter speaker. "It was quite well done, it took them over three months of baiting and testing to get the information from her. While I would normally be upset at your weak-willed maid, it actually removed several smaller thorns in my side. Then with so much work done and built up cases, they then throw all of it away… Oh my, your poor maid, becoming a stripper and flashing all of her body for these weaklings, unable to afford a proper daycare and then she's routinely subjected to sexual battery and imposition by the man in charge of her release." His eyes scrolled through all of the documented evidence against her Parole officer. "An assumed name, they treated her less than dirt, how quaint and nice of them to all but push her into a corner. I mean Kakarot there are nearly thirty photos that I'm sure you'd love to see what this man did to her, I'm sure he touched and tasted almost everything on her and recorded it. Quite funny the stupidity of these lesser beings, then when he's investigated he forgets that his data has a cloud storage and is saved in memory without a physical copy, all but guaranteeing this end result. Currently serving a twenty-year sentence…how droll. Where's the castration, forced sodemy, and gender reidentification? Clearly these humans have no concept of entertainment like we do, this is such a boring world." The clatter of some china echoed as he brought a drink to his lips. "They believe she was killed in a fire and there's quite a bit of evidence to support that, but we have that little bit of information from your dear contractors. A powerful maid from the Kold sector in an area where she was being paroled and hidden away? I'm sure you realize it Kakarot it must-"

The scouter was crushed in the powerful grip of one very… very… furious saiyan assassin. His thoughts exploded with rage and he was only saw red, for the betrayal that she dared perform by selling him out. That she would then sacrifice her honor of her calling for this life of pitiful mediocrity. "I save your life, I give you purpose and existence, only to further train you and turn you into a woman! Then you have the nerve to stand next to me and not tell me! NOT TELL ME I HAVE A SON AND THAT YOU ARE ALIVE!" He was practically screaming now. The veins on his forehead were pulsing and nearly turning his white eyes red as his body was shaking with an emotion beyond rage. Pride and pain were mixing together as he all but tore himself out of his home. The wild sparking of his ki came as he lost the ability to see and focus.

He wasn't angry, no this was beyond it, he was blinded by complete fury. "YOU WILL PAY-!" Kakarot's voice released almost an explosion as he took into the air and headed towards the nearest space station…

Chi-Chi was currently sitting inside Gohan's soon to be school, the young minds preparatory academy and currently pleading her case as to why her son was eligible for such a program and future. As enrollment started at Kindergarten and then went further throughout the year, the grooming of exemplary students started at its base level.

Currently the young demi saiyan was playing with a set of toys, the numerous shapes and color coordination items just basic levels of testing a growing minds adaptability and focus. His eyes were focused on putting the puzzle made out of a ball back together and separate shapes.

"Well Miss CC, I have to admit your son is quite in fact gifted, he's already figuring out our little puzzle." The administrator praised the little boy's intellect. "We have a few other tests that will need to be run throughout the week to determine his placement and adaptability, but overall I think he will be a more than welcome addition to our academy." The slightly senior woman having traces of gray in her hair offered her hand to the mother known as CC.

Smiling she reached across, took her hand and shook it, she had no question that Gohan would be placed here. One for his intellect and two, for her pocketbook, a small 'donation' always helped smooth the wheels of the right people and before she knew it this was her result. "I appreciate it Mrs. Narva. I do hope that I will get a chance to see just how amazing your schools are."

"And I hope that you get that chance too. In fact we have a tour set up for friday; you can bring the young scholar with you and have him take part in an acclimation day while we show you, so just come and stop by. Also we have other emergency contact forms to fill out and other paperwork, do you mind doing that now?"

CC nodded her head. "Sure that wouldn't be a problem."

"Excellent! Please get your son; we can have him wait in one of the playrooms we have set up for recess for the younger students while we get that filled out across the hall." Narva gestured for her to follow and Chi-Chi stood up with her.

"Come on sweetie," Her voice bringing Gohan's focus to her along with his brilliant smile and laughter.

"Coming mom!" Before catching up with her as they walked down the hallway, stopping by a smaller room clearly reserved for recreation Gohan watched as his mother opened up the door and let him walk inside.

"Be good sweetie and play while I finish up okay?"

Gohan nodded obediently as his mother ruffled the top of his head and hair. He walked inside where there were several other children playing but Gohan didn't go over towards them. The boy felt strange around other kids, other kids did strange things in young Gohan's eyes. They also smelled funny and he didn't like things with bad smells.

He worked his way over towards a collection of seven balls on a table, they shined a brilliant orange and piqued his curiosity as they sat together. Looking at their bright orange color and stars on them…

The door clicked open and a new presence filled the room. "Excuse me sir, but what are you doing in here?"

"Oh, sorry I just wanted to see if my son had been placed in here already. My wife mentioned she'd be coming by today and I was running late for work earlier."

Gohan turned towards the door and looked at a man wearing a full tan suit, but even from across the room he could see him. He had really black hair, it seemed to go everywhere.

"I see, and which one is your wife?"

Gohan stepped closer, something smelled about this man, it was something he did not understand. Why did he smell like that and why did he feel different. There was something around him that he could almost touch but he could see there was nothing really there.

"Long black hair and about this tall," he made a gesture of her height with his hand. "Should've been… oh wait." His head swiveled towards the door. "I see her now, I'll go and chat with her. Sorry to bother you."

A pair of black eyes looked down at him, and Gohan felt himself shaking. He ducked his head and retreated behind one of the bookcases, but before he could peak his head around the man was already gone.

Still something scared him about those black eyes…

"Gohan? Where are you sweetie?" Chi-Chi called out as she came inside the room having taken herself about twenty minutes to fill out the paperwork. Looking around she noticed Gohan looking at her from behind a shelf. The moment lasted for a moment until he scurried over towards her. Scooping him up into her arms, "What's wrong Gohan you're shaking?" She could easily tell something was off, as he tucked himself against her. Something had frightened her son. Looking to the woman in charge with a glare. "Did something happen?"

"No, nothing happened, did your husband find you?"

"My husband?"

"Yes, he came in here looking for you and your son… Tall man with hair like your sons, had a similar face." Her expression slightly shifted to concern. "Was that not your husband?"

"Yes… Yes it was, sorry I had forgotten." Her extensive training in holding back emotions barely kept her composure as she turned around still holding Gohan close to her. She moved quickly from the school with more than brisk pace her eyes flipping all around trying to find out if 'he' was there. She was all but running as she made it to her car, she couldn't exactly fly away from where she was it wasn't exactly going to solve anything.

Clicking herself and her son into her car Chi-Chi was about to turn on the ignition when her phone vibrated. 'Of all the times to call me.' Her top teeth were chewing slightly on her bottom lip as she pulled out her phone.

"Look in your rear mirror… Mrs. Black." A voice spoke that made Chi-Chi's grip on her phone slide away as her eyes looked into the mirror foolishly and standing beside a tree-!

"Oh GODS!" She screamed moving to rip Gohan from his seat causing him to cry out panic.

"Don't, Don't you dare run from me…" The voice growled through the phone as Chi-Chi looked back with her eyes and saw that he was no longer there. A thick snort escaped from the other end. "I know where you are, and don't even think about crossing me. I just had to see my son, for myself."

"Please, he's my baby just let us-"

"I have not given you permission to speak! I still own you!" The voice hissed back cutting her off from further speaking. "I am very displeased with my maid… but we will talk again my dear girl. You see i'm not going to kill you," A deep breath came through the phone as he apparently took a moment to compose himself. "at least not right now, because originally I was going too but you see I had a long time to mull this over. You will continue on as you were, you will make no attempts to flee, no attempts to hide, if you do that… well," His voice becoming a dark chuckle. "I will simply tear you to pieces over a couple of days, or maybe the boy in front of you as punishment for not only betraying me but also," His voice shifting again. "I was so hurt that you didn't tell me you were alive, that my favorite girl would stand beside me and not tell her loving master, the man who saved her, gave her a home, trained her and helped give you the son you so fawn over and not have the slightest decency to tell me that you were alright."

Chi-Chi struggled to breathe, she simply stared at the phone as if it were actually Kakarot. "I just-"

"Need I punish you here and now? Do not interrupt your master… in fact I want to hear you say it. Who am I?"

Chi-Chi didn't hold back as she felt herself choke out the words once again. "Master… you're my master." Her eyes began to fill with tears as she slunk to the ground.

"Good girl. Now take care, we will be speaking with one another again and remind me and yourself, who is it that loves you?"

Chi-Chi shook her head but she couldn't stop her lips from reciting what it knew, "You, I love you master." How could she even attempt to displease him now.

"That's my girl… i'll see you soon." The phone went dead after that and Chi-Chi could only clutch Gohan against her and release a pathetic sob as he was here, he had found her, and there was no hope of stopping him from doing what he wanted. Stroking the back of Gohan's head she could only pray that everything would be fine for him. There wasn't a price she would not pay to have him live a life free from all of this, the world that had sucked her in and taken so much from her. "I'm so sorry baby." She told him kissing his cheek.

Her little boy hugged her back, "Don't cry momma."

If only she could… If only she could.

[***]

"I need your help, though I know we have no real reason to work together I need a favor."

"Why are you calling me? Surely one of the best assassin's wouldn't call me out of the blue for no reason?"

"Look, there are things that are beyond my control and I know you want something and I have something to give you.

He was interested now, "Alright then? What is it?" Listening intently to the other person on the other end of the phone his eyes widened at their response. "Are you serious?"

"Very, so what do you say? Will you help me?"

"How could I refuse? To see Kakarot fall, i'll help but this will take time at least a couple weeks to prepare. Can you maintain and stay alive for me to get what I need."

"I don't know but i'll try."

"Well do stay alive I don't want to waste this chance."

[***]

Chi-Chi was sitting on a bench, doing her best to remain calm. She was after all here to have a tour of the facilities of the academy she had just enrolled Gohan in. The last week had put her on absolute edge, of course the phone call she had made was the slimmest of margins for Gohan's survival… she already casted herself among the dead. Kakarot had come here to kill her, the question was how long she had.

It was just her watching her son as he was at an outside arts and craft station, her little boy already getting along well with the other kids as they painted pictures and made other art projects with the materials on hand. Gohan finding the glitter and finger paints to be his method of creating his art, Chi-Chi watched with a smile but she was only putting on a front.

The whirlwind of emotions were still flooding through her and-! "Oh you guys started all the fun without me?"

"Oh, i'm sorry I didn't even see you come in. You must be Gohan's father!" The teacher said not even hearing the door open or close. Turning towards a man wearing a white button up shirt and black slacks.

"Yep! That's my boy, names Son Goku!" He exclaimed happily replied smiling, offering a friendly chuckle as he put an arm around Chi-Chi who was already shaking. "Please continue I just want to sit with my wife and observe."

"Oh no problem, please enjoy yourselves."

Chi-Chi felt his hand slide around her waist pulling her tightly against him. "Please… don't hurt him." Chi-Chi softly begged as fingers strummed against her stomach.

"You are in no position to tell me anything." Kakarot replied not even looking at her, though his voice wasn't caught by anyone other than her. "How long did you think you would hide from me?"

"I wasn't-" She saw the glare in his eyes as he looked at her and she stopped. "I just tried to start over, I spent over a year struggling to survive."

"And not once did you try and contact me?"

"You thought I was dead, you didn't try and find me, I thought you were done with me." Chi-Chi winced slightly as his fingers dug into her side.

"I am done with you, when I say so." His voice growled.

"Are you here to kill me? I don't care if you are… but please let Gohan live. No one knows about him, he was never recorded in any hospital, he has no living file data except what I created through my employer."

Kakarot leaned into her and harshly bit her ear making her eyes tear up,though no one could see it as he brought his other arm up to block the view. "Bitch, do not dare tell me what to do. I'll rip that fucking boy to pieces if I want."

"I beg you… I'll do anything."

"Oh you will, I know you will." He spoke into her ear before licking the small wound he had left. "I expect that tonight you will be ready to receive a proper re-education by your master."

Chi-Chi looked down towards her hands that were folded in her lap. "Of course."

"That's my girl." His voice almost softly purring his approval. "Now let's just enjoy our time out, after all we have a little Black to add into the fold."

She said nothing, the long months of brutal conditioning reminding her of where she was. It was far worse to disobey, when it had just been herself it was one thing. But with the prospect of her son being turned into everything that she was? She couldn't have that, Gohan didn't deserve the fate of her mother. He needed to be free of this because no matter how much she wanted to admit it.

Chi-Chi hated everything that had befallen her, she was once just a normal person. But look at her now, a terrified mass murderer held hostage by the craziest son of a bitch she had ever had the displeasure of knowing. There was no love between them, no affection, or chance at normalcy just Kakarot's twisted view of the world and how it was supposed to appease him and his desires.

She was never given a choice in it and the last thing she wanted for her beloved baby boy was to not have a choice like she had.

"Momma look!" Gohan cried coming over towards her, the boy holding up a picture of their living room or what she could tell was it. A nightly ritual they shared as the slightly blobbed figures of her, Gohan, and Nana all smiling in the frame.

Kakarot chuckled and Gohan looked towards the man sitting beside his mother. The coal black eyes almost swallowing the boy's entire gaze.

The boy shrunk back slightly, cowering towards his mother who could not reach out to comfort him. "A timid little brat. But I suppose I may have to break that little habit," She sat idle as Kakarot moved from his position and squatted just a foot away from his son. His eyes scanning him up and down, his lip twisting slightly as he saw just how fearful his own 'son' was, he was never such a little coward. The backbone was lacking as well.

Reaching out his hand touched Gohan's jaw slightly turning his face still inspecting it, feeling the way the boy was shaking was annoying him. He heard him whimper at the rough treatment, but ignored it and pushed his thumb alongside his cheek.

"Our next lesson will begin, i'm sorry but we need Gohan back. You can pick him back up at the end of the day." The teacher called interrupting Kakarot who removed his hand.

"Okay sure! Take care, I have to get going." His reply using his Son Goku persona earned a wave from the teacher before he stood up and looked to Chi-Chi. "I expect you here in 10 minutes and we'll begin your discipline." Pulling a card from his pocket, a key card for a hotel room inside the city.

"Yes, of course." Chi-Chi replied keeping her breathing steady as he snorted and left.

Turning to Gohan she leaned down and gave him a big hug, holding back her tears. "I'll do anything for you sweetheart. Mommy loves you…" She kissed his cheek as he hugged her back.

"I love you mommy." Gohan told her before she pulled away.

There was nothing she would not do for him.

[***]

She did not even have the chance to open the hotel room, a hand grabbed her and all but threw her inside. She stumbled slightly but held her composure, like a deer being circled by a wolf. Chi-Chi had all but accepted her fate. "Strip." The entire room was dark and she could not see him, her eyes were not adjusted unlike his saiyan ones. Though she could feel his presence so very close to her.

"Yes, master." Removing her clothes quickly, she disrobed leaving herself in nothing but her maroon panties and bra.

A deep breath came beside her as he inhaled her scent, the air dragging over her skin. "On your knees," He growled as a hand slipped alongside her back and came to the front of her stomach. "For your sake, you better remember how to do this."

'I do… Master' She thought sadly as she went down to her knees. Kakarot moved in front of her and she reached up with her hands to find a familiar cock that she had been intimate with many times. Wrapping both of her palms around she could feel the veins pulsing beneath it. Rolling upwards towards the head Chi-Chi brought her lips around it and without hesitating pushed her lips down around his manhood, her tongue sliding on the underside as took in as much as she could before slowly drawing her lips back.

"Fuck… It has been such a long time." His voice was thick as a hand grabbed at the back of her head and pushed her to a more demanding pace. "Don't you dare slow down or even think about letting a single drop escape your lips."

Chi-Chi made no comment, her head being pushed into his crotch as his length surged in and out of her mouth hitting the back of her throat. She coughed a bit as she struggled to keep herself from choking but Kakarot didn't care as he pushed himself into her mouth sealing himself inside as she felt the burst of his seed quickly escaping into the back of her throat.

The hiss of his voice as she pushed against his stomach in a vain attempt to create some space in her mouth until Kakarot tore her off of him and threw her to the floor. "Damnit… You can't even do that right!" He snarled and Chi-Chi felt the sting of his hand upon her cheek knocking her to the ground, her face pressed hard into the carpet.

"I'm very disappointed in you. I might've forgiven some of your transgressions had you not of fucking hid from me in plain sight, and then have the nerve to not tell me that you were alive one single time!" Chi-Chi said nothing as he kicked her in the stomach. Her lungs hacked out the air as she was struck, the force of the blow and sudden impact caught her off guard. "You're only lucky that I'm not ripping your head off right now…"

Unspeaking and acting without emotion she got to her knees again. For you Gohan… All for you… Acting ever the submissive maid she was once before as Kakarot picked her up and slammed her down on the bed. "Beg for my forgiveness, beg for the life of that little brat. I want to hear you tell me just how sorry you are about doing this to your master."

Without waiting for her to even start talking Kakarot speared his erection right into her body making her cry out from the sheer force invading her body. He didn't even wait a second before slamming himself inside of her, holding very little back as Chi-Chi cried out in pain. Her lips fumbling over themselves as she began to beg and plead for Kakarot's love again, that she was foolish for even trying to deceive him.

Clutching at his back her nails digging into his back, just holding on was all she could do as she begged him to take her back, that she was unworthy of him.

Kakarot's lips crushed against hers as she felt a burst of heat inside of her body. "Since i'm feeling merciful let's go again and again until it's time for you to go pick up that pathetic brat."

"Of course master," Chi-Chi relented as Kakarot flipped her over and pinned her face down into the mattress. Her fingers gripping the sheets tightly as only the image of her son's future danced in her head. I love you Gohan, mommy always will.
