Kakarot opened his eyes as he felt the free fall into the atmosphere. He looked out of the front of the pod and smirked. That was earth alright. Chichi was going to pay for making him come all the way out here.

Over the next hour or so, he waited as the pod got closer to earth and he braced himself for the impact. Again he smirked as debris flew around him as his pod formed a massive crater on the surface.

He pulled himself out of the pod and looked around. Of all of the places for him to land, it had to be next to the bunker that he once shared with Vegeta and Bulma. He was surprised that it hadn't been picked over for supplies. They left quite a bit behind. Not really in the case of food, but scrap out here was seen as a must have. He remembered Bulma had sent him and Vegeta out after it.

He almost chuckled at the memories. Just to his right was the place where he kissed Chichi and then she smacked him. Now that he thought back on it, that probably wasn't a good move on his part. He had just been a stupid child that didn't understand how relationships worked. Doing something like that would lead to…mating. He almost cringed at the word. He still remembered everything that Raditz had told him. He really didn't understand the appeal.

He figured that he had wasted enough time standing around and started his search. It couldn't be that hard to find Chichi on this rock. Her Ki had to be the same as it used to be.

He leapt towards the sky and took off. He knew that it would take a while to find the place that he was looking for. Even if he knew Chichi's Ki, he knew that she wasn't going to be calling out to him with it. He would have to get close enough to sense her.

As he flew around, he wondered what was going on back home. The likelihood of anything happening was slim to none. No one would dare to attack them. They had grown too strong.

Though, he was dying for some action. He hadn't had a really good fight since the war. He was itching to get back onto an actual battlefield. He longed to hear the sound of bones cracking, to feel blood run down his face as he pulled apart his enemy. Just thinking about it made got him excited. Too bad that there wasn't anything around to help him deal with that need.

He started to fly south, he was getting nowhere going east, and he knew it. He wondered what she was going to do when she saw him. He expected for her to smile at him and try and give him a hug. He still wondered what she looked like. All he could imagine was the little girl that he once knew.

He looked down at the planet below him. Was she still looking to be that bride thing or had she moved on from that? To this day, he still wondered what that even was. Knowing Chichi, it had to be something girly.

He stopped midflight as he finally found her Ki. He smirked to himself. She had to be close. He just hoped that she hadn't found any trouble. That was always a guarantee with Chichi. She should have just stayed on Planet Vegeta where she would be safe, but no. She had to send him on this trek across space to get her for some stupid reason. He would give her a talking too when he found her.

Suddenly, he felt more than one Ki. They were in no way stronger than he was, but from the look of it, she was trying to move away from them. He snarled. He knew this would happen.

He rushed forward, following her Ki through the chasms around him. He had to wonder why she had picked such open country; at least in the forest she would have had some coverage.

He growled as he came upon them. They were surrounding her from all sides and it looked like she was going into a fighting stance. What was she thinking? She couldn't deal with this many fighters at once. He growled loudly as one made to attack her from the right, but she swiftly kicked him in the jaw, sending him flying across the desert sand.

He froze as he looked down at her. He had never seen anything like that before. He had seen women fight, that was a given. But something about her technique was interesting.

Another came from her left and she punched him right in the face, knocking him back against the rock wall she was against. He had to admit that she had been smart about covering her back.

The third one came for her straight on and it looked like he was going to try and grab her, but she moved down to the ground and swiped at his feet, knocking him off of his feet and onto the sharp rocks.

"Anymore takers?" She asked the group of men.

He watched as they all seemed to freeze up. Did she really not need him here? She looked like she had everything under control.

He was about to congratulate her from the sky, when he finally got a good look at her. His heart stopped. She had gotten taller, that was a given, but the rest of her was just…just…beautiful. He didn't even know how to describe it. She was beyond anything he could have imagined. Even the outfit she was wearing contorted around her body in the most perfect way. He had to blink a couple of times as he stared at her. Maybe this was all because he hadn't seen her in ten years.

"Then I guess we are done here." She stated crossing her arms.

"But Miss Chichi, what about Babasama's words? You need to pick a husband and give him that child." One of the men said, walking through the group. He glared at the man. He had a weird puffy haircut.

"I will not marry a weakling that can't even beat me in combat." She said glaring at the group.

He smirked from above. She still had her attitude. That he could appreciate.

"You are asking the impossible. I'm just saying that you should give us another test. Whoever wins will make you their bride." The man stated proudly.

He growled getting everyone's attention, as he began to land. The crowd parted for him and he let out a snarl as he passed the man with the strange hairdo.

Chichi only stared at him in shock as he reached her. "Goku…"

"It's been a long time, Chichi." They just stared at each other for a long time. For some reason, he felt really happy.

She walked forward and he felt his heart beat faster. "I…I didn't think you would come…"

"Well, Bulma wanted you there for her wedding and Vegeta asked me to come and get you." He said. Her smile faded away and she glared at him.

"So you only came because they made you!" She screamed in his face.

He looked down at her in confusion. "Well, yeah."

She continued to glare at him. "So you really don't remember?"

He gave her a puzzled expression. "Remember what?"

She let out an annoyed huff as she looked over the group. "All of you will fight one on one! The winner will take my hand!"

"Fight?" He said the excitedly.

She turned back to him. "Not you!"

He frowned. "Why not?"

"Because you wouldn't want to make me your bride, would you?" She said turning away from him.

His stomach plummeted. He really didn't want her to be mad with him. "But Chichi…"

She just gave him another glare and he sighed. He wasn't going to get anywhere with this.

So he was forced to stand there and watch the humans fight. As he looked over them, he couldn't help but laugh at them. What a disgrace. All of them looked too stiff in their movements. Their form was laughable. None of them stood a chance on the battlefield. Why did Chichi want to be a bride to one of these losers?

As the fighting continued, he had to roll his eyes at the man with the strange haircut. He didn't like him or his way of fighting, but he could live with that. It was the looks he was giving Chichi that made his blood boil. After every fight, he would look up at her and do something weird. The first time, he blew a kiss at her. He wanted to rip the man's lips off.

He looked over at Chichi and took delight at watching her cringe. Like that man really had a chance. He wasn't even in the same league as she was.

But to his shock the strange man won. "I know we haven't been properly introduced, Miss Chichi, but you can call me Hercule." The man said with a cocky grin on his face.

His anger grew as this Hercule leaned in to kiss her and he couldn't take it anymore. He launched forward and grabbed the man's neck and pinned it against the rock wall. "What do you think you're doing?!" He snarled.

"Goku, let him go!" Chichi said grabbing onto the side of his arm.

He looked down at her, even as she said those words, he couldn't contain his fury. "He has to pay!"

"Kakarot!" She said his name and made to smack him. He let go of the whelp and grabbed her hand in time. "Let me go!"

He felt very hot as he glared at her. "Is he really what you want?!"

"You don't get to decide who I…" She started.

"The hell I don't! You're mine!" He yelled back at her.

She froze. "What?"

His body felt hotter as he looked over her again. His mind was clouding. She was beautiful. She was strong. She was his.

Before she could say anything farther, he pulled her into a kiss. She didn't struggle against him as he removed his hand from her arm and started to feel up and down her frame. He felt her lips move against his and began to play with her lower lip. There was just something about it that made him want to lap at it. She let out a moan against him and it felt like all of the blood in his body had gone south.

His mouth popped off of hers and he looked down at her. She looked dazed. "Goku…"

His tail came around and wrapped around her waist. "Chichi…"

It seemed that Hercule had gotten up. "Excuse me, I think…" He grabbed, the man's face without looking at him and tossed him off to the side. He had no time for his crap.

He scooped up Chichi in his arms and flew off. It was too crowded. He wanted them to be alone. He could feel her eyes on him as they flew. He just wanted to find a good place to land.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

He looked at her and felt a stirring he had never felt before. His instincts were the only thing guiding him at this point. "You'll see." She smelled good, it was a familiar smell, but it was enough to drive him crazy.

He found a small clearing and landed there. He sensed everything around him. No one was around for miles. He let go of her and began to sniff at her. He wanted to lap at her lower lip again as she drew closer. "Goku…Does this mean that I'm your bride?" She said, looking into his eyes.

"No." She looked disappointed, but he wasn't done. "You're my mate."

She tensed up at the word as he kissed her again. Her knees buckled and he gladly fell to the ground with her. Her arms were around his neck as he began to go for her neck. That lip smelled of him. He just needed to finish what he started. She had no time to react as he drove his teeth into her neck. She let out a cry as he took everything in.

Everything began to fall into place. Why he had never had those urges like the others was clear. He had already marked her. She was already his, if only partially. His fang had grazed her lip when they were children. Now she was his entirely. His for all eternity.

He heard her say his name and it sent chills down his spine. Her blood was still fresh on his lips as he pulled his armor free of his body. She looked up at him in a daze as she began to move her hands against his chest.

He looked down at her. He wanted to see more. She must have read the look on his face because she started to remove what she was wearing. His breathing became heavy as he looked over her body. The body that had been denied him over the last ten years.

He began to run his hand down that exposed skin, making her tremble. She slid her hand right up to the side of his face. "Are you going to…?"

He silenced her with a kiss. She knew exactly what they were going to do.

As he lay on top of her, he gave in to his wants and desires. His old oath was forgotten as he finally took what was his all along.

To Be Continued…

Author Note
