DISCLAMER: I DO NOT OWN DRAGON BALL Z BUT I DO OWN MY LOVE FOR IT! THANK YOU TORIYAMA-SAN!
After walking through the forest for a several minutes, which seemed like hours for Goku, the Son family finally arrived at their house. Chi-Chi quickly stormed off into kitchen and started to cook breakfast. She was still annoyed with Goku and she didn't want to speak to him. She always made things so complicated! Goku felt that his wife didn't want to see him at the moment so he stayed outside to practice his martial arts. Gohan looked at his parents and sighed. This happened almost every time his parents (Chi-Chi actually) fought. But, not wanting to be on his mother's bad side, Gohan decided to give her a hand with things and followed her into the house. He went to the cupboards and took out the plates and cups. As he passed by his mother, he was able to see the smile she wore as she looked at him. At least somebody was cooperative. After a while, breakfast was completed and the family sat down to eat. Goku ate his food like always: the saiyan way. From the corner of her eye, Chi-Chi saw that he didn't look the slightest bit apologetic for what he had done. She frowned at the sight and let out a small huff. Picking up her fork, she began to eat, the way a proper family should eat, or so she thought it that way. Gohan felt uncomfortable feeling the tension in the room and he cleared his throat. "The food is great Mom! You sure are the best cook in the world!" Chi-Chi smiled at her son. He was always trying to lighten up the mood. Taking the opportunity to settle things down, Goku chirped in.
"Of course she is Gohan! That's what she does best! " said Goku, trying to lift up the tension as well. Chi-Chi looked at her plate and at Goku.
"Is that all you see me as?" she replied, rather sternly. Unfortunately, the way Goku worded that didn't seem to impress Chi-Chi. Gohan looked at his father, waiting for him to say something. His mother was a sensitive person and she sure had a high-temper. Goku waved his hands and shook his head.
"No, no, no! Of course not Chi! You're a great mother to Gohan and a wonderful wife! You're irreplaceable!" Chi-Chi attempted to fight back a smile. Why did he always have to do that? Looking to the side, she cleared her throat.
"Don't you have some training to do?" She wasn't going to forgive him easily. Goku became shocked.
"Chi? Did you just ask me if I was going to train?" Goku and Gohan looked at each other and back at Chi-Chi.
"Mom, are you feeling okay?" Chi-Chi blinked. She then realized what she had just said.
'Stupid! Why did I say that?! I dislike it when they train, especially my baby! Nice going, Chi-Chi', thought Chi-Chi in her mind. There was no way in taking it back now. She tried to come up with an excuse.
"Err… Of course I am. I'm just trying to send your father away for a while. I need a break." Goku frowned at what she said but then smiled mischievously.
"Come on Gohan. Your mother wants us to train." Gohan caught on to what his dad was doing and smiled. This was the perfect moment to get away with training. He quickly flew out of the house before his mother reacted.
"BYE MOM! LOVE YOU!"
"GOHAN?! COME BACK HERE! YOU NEED TO DO SOME STUDYING MISTER! I NEVER SAID FOR YOU TO LEAVE! YOU HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED YOUR MEAL!" Chi-Chi ran outside, hoping to catch her son. Too bad she couldn't fly. All she could do was simply build up anger as she watched her son fly away. Goku then flew out of the house and next to Chi-Chi.
"See you later, honey! I love you." Chi-Chi crossed her arms and turned the other way.
"He left because of you…" she said in a low, annoyed voice. Chi-Chi was growing a little tired of Gohan skipping out on his studies for training. She just wanted her son to be successful in life and have a job instead of relying on winning the World Tournament for money. Goku looked at his wife. He felt bad for influencing Gohan to leave without studying. He also wanted him to study and be successful, he honestly did. He walked towards Chi-Chi and tried to cheer her up.
"Hey, Chi-Chi? I'll make sure Gohan studies after we come back from our training session." Chi-Chi quickly turned around to face her husband. Did she hear that correctly?
'Oh, he's gone nuts ', she thought. But as soon as she turned around, Chi-Chi found Goku's face only a few inches away from hers. Before she backed away, Goku stole a kiss. He loved the sensation he felt whenever they kissed. It made him forget about all his worries. His worries about the upcoming arrival of the androids. His worries about the future monster, Cell. His worries about…. He suddenly didn't feel the warm lips of his wife. All he felt was the cool breeze hit his face. Coming back to reality, he opened his eyes and found her pointing out to space.
"Goku! What about Gohan? He's out there all in his own! My little boy!" Geez! Wouldn't Chi-Chi just relax for a moment?! Well, at least she calmed down.
"Awww Chi! I was really enjoying that kiss! Gohan is old enough to wander off on his own. He is a saiyan, after all!" He pulled his wife close to him. She looked down and bit her lip. "What's wrong?" he asked. She looked up at him, his eyes filled with concern.
"I-I'm sorry…" she spoke softly.
"Sorry? For what?"
"For being such a grouch. For constantly yelling at you, for constantly being angry with you. Sometimes I wish I could just stay shut and not cause any tro-" Goku put his finger to her lips.
"You talk too much", he smiled at her. Chi-Chi's face finally took its relaxed form, the way Goku always wanted it to be. "I kind of like it when you yell. It shows that you love us. Besides, you look cute when you pout! I don't care if you yell at me. I'll always love you, no matter what. You'll always be my Chi-Chi." Tears were glistening in her eyes as she smiled at her husband.
"DAD! COME ON! The androids aren't going to wait any longer for us to train!" Chi-Chi sighed as she heard her son eagerly call out for his father to hurry up. Why did training appeal to him?
"Gohan!" Gohan flinched at the sound of his name being yelled. But it wasn't his mother yelling. "Just be patient!" Gohan realized what he had interrupted and nodded. Not wanting to watch, he flew around for the mean time. Goku turned to Chi-Chi and gave her a smile. "Guess I have to go train now." He began to walk away until she called out his name.
"Goku! Wait!" She ran up to him and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "Don't be late for dinner." Goku smiled at his beloved wife. What more could he ask for? (Well…. Food.) Chi-Chi watched as her two men flew away into the forest. She sighed and looked up at the sky. Her little Gohan was growing up, which meant that he'd start to attend more battles. The more battles he attended, the more training he had to do. 'I'm just going to have to put up with it, aren't I?' Walking back into the house, she heard the grass rustle behind her. It was probably her Goku. Did he leave something behind? What if something happened?! Maybe he wanted one last kiss! Chi-Chi turned around and leaned in to kiss her husband.
"Hello Chi-Chi! Nice way to greet me!" Chi-Chi quickly opened her eyes and saw the man before her. That wasn't her husband! Raiden quickly leaned in towards her to give her the kiss she "wanted". His lips had lightly brushed against hers. She quickly stepped back into a defensive position, as soon as she felt a weird sensation that made her nervous. "Oh sorry, honey! Didn't mean to scare you!"
"Don't call me h-"
"Is lunch ready yet?"
'Lunch? What is he talking abou-.. Oh! I forgot that I invited him over. Ugh! Why did I do that?' Chi-Chi mentally berated herself for taking such risky actions. She invited a man over to her house and she barely knew him. What was she on?
"Umm… Chi-Chi?"
"Oh! S-Sorry! I was just thinking! Um.. Come on in!" Raiden gratefully entered her house, looking around.
"Cute house!"
"Thank you!"
"But it's not as cute as you." What now? Chi-Chi quickly turned to face him. C-Cute?! Her Goku had called her cute not so long ago. Oh, things are getting awkward. She cleared her throat.
"I'll be in the kitchen, preparing lunch. You can sit down and make yourself comfortable if you'd like." Hopefully not too comfortable.
"Thank you!" Chi-Chi left him alone and went to the kitchen. Kami, she was confused on how she felt towards this man. It was nice of him to say those compliments but she wasn't interested. He was hitting on her but at least not the way Master Roshi did it. She shuddered at the thought of Master Roshi's "compliments" and began to prepare the meal.
Meanwhile that, Raiden was looking around the living room. There were several pictures of Chi-Chi and a little boy. He really didn't put much thought in the pictures to consider that Chi-Chi had a son. He kept on looking around until a certain photo caught his attention. Raiden look at the photo, and clenched his fist. His expression darkened and his eyes looked coldly at the picture. "K-Kakarrot?!"
Chi-Chi was busy humming until she heard Raiden speak. She walked to the living room to check on him. "Is everything alright?"
"K-Ka, um yeah. Everything is perfect!" he gave her a bright smile.
"Alright then. Call me if you need anything." Chi-Chi returned to her cooking and left Raiden alone. Raiden looked back at the photo and smiled but this time wickedly.
"At last. I have found you."
A/N: Yeah, Chi-Chi gets mad over that little thing but hey, that's Chi-Chi! And I admit, it was dumb of Raiden to not wonder why Chi-Chi was with a little baby and a husband. Obviously, one can predict that it's her family, of course.
Raiden: Baka! I'll kill you!
Me: Go ahead but remember, I control your future~!
Raiden: Ugh! This human world has really gotten to me!
Me: What?
(Sorry for this nonsense! You may proceed)
