Chapter 1: Someone to Call Friend
"Hey Grandpa, where should I put this ox?" Goku was dragging a very unalive cattle to the premises, where he and his grandfather Gohan reside in a little home on top of a hill. At the moment Gohan was preparing a miniature hearth for him and Goku. There was a gigantic black pot in the middle as a fire raged underneath it.
"You can just leave it to the side my boy. I'll do the rest." Gohan smiles and Goku grins back.
"Kay!" Goku places the ox next to Gohan's hearth and Gohan immediately starts to remove the skin from the animal with a knife.
"Why don't you play a little Goku? I'll be here for a little while." Gohan says and Goku smiles brightly.
"Alright! I'll be back for dinner soon!" Goku says and Gohan waves him off while Goku sprints into the forest leaving nothing but a blur in his wake.
While Goku was enjoying nature and exploring the woods around him he heard a loud crash some distance ahead. Goku widened his eyes as deer, birds, and other animals scurried away from the scene. Goku wondered what was going on, surely it couldn't be too bad. However when he thought about it, if it was enough to scare the wildlife then he should be cautious when he investigates.
As Goku became closer and closer to the scene more sounds became apparent to him. And coming from a child who lived in a forest where the only things to be heard are sounds from the wildlife.. then this was concerning him. Goku leapt up into a tree to survey his surroundings. While up in the vantage point he sees the area where machines and people with yellow hats were working, all of them shouting as the machines sawed down more trees.
Goku looked on noticing all of the grown men going to an area to be briefed by someone in charge. What Goku was even more confused by was the fact that the person they were talking to was a little girl.. someone about his age.
She also wore a yellow hat, had black hair and equally black eyes. A nice healthy white skintone, which was mostly covered by a black longsleeve and black pants and boots. Overall she seemed like the person who called the shots, which was weird because if they were really the same age then she would be five years old.. just like Goku.
Goku leapt down from the tree and landed right amid the circle of people, right next to the girl. Everyone jumped up in alarm as he did, while Goku looked on in confusion.
"So uh, what's going on everyone?" Goku asked and everyone had their eyes widened into oblivion. The girl turned to Goku startled as well, before regaining her composure and frowning at him.
"We're in the middle of some important work. We're cutting down trees to make an orphanage in the area." The girl humphed with her hands on her hips and Goku nodded, following along barely.
"So why are you using those things to cut the trees down? It's disturbing the wildlife and it's so loud." Goku asked innocently and everyone around him sighed, however the girl was the first one to recover once more.
"Because there's no other way to cut them down! And we're not going to use axes or handsaws when we have the latest in technology in our favor." The girl answered and Goku hummed in thought.
"Well I don't usually cut them down that way, and I don't use those machines either. Maybe I can show you how I do it?" Goku offered and all of the grown men grinned in amusement. They were all feeling incredulous of the fact that this boy could even hold up an axe, let alone cut down a tree with one.
"I say let him do it ma'am. We could surely use the help." One of the men called out sarcastically and the girl rolled her eyes.
"Don't be mean Simon. Now.. how are you going to show us this.." She trailed off and Goku blinked at her before laughing sheepishly.
"Oh! I'm Son Goku, but you can just call me Goku. And you are?" Goku asked as he placed his hand out to shake. The girl arched an eyebrow before hesitantly taking his hand into her own, shaking with a brisk motion.
"Yaoyorozu Momo. And please get on with the demonstration, we have a lot to get done today. And we want at least fifty trees out of the way of our operation." Momo sighed and Goku nodded.
"Okay! Well like I said I don't usually do this with anything really. I'm the one that collects the wood between me and my grandpa, and he's the one who showed me this!" Goku walked up to a tree and stood in his stance, crouching and holding his right arm back.
"Make sure to stay clear!" Goku warned and the grown men behind him couldn't help but laugh to themselves, this was the best entertainment they could get while being bossed around by their boss's daughter. However Momo stood in focus, watching Goku's every movement.
'He definitely looks like he knows what's he's doing.. there's more to him than meets the eye.' Momo thinks and right as she finishes the thought Goku launches his arm with a forward strike at blinding speed. Everyone besides Goku had their jaws to the floor and their eyes widened to the Heavens. Because Goku not only punches through a tree, but sends it flying a few yards away.
"W-what how did he d-do that!?" One of the men calls out and Goku smiles at them brightly.
"If you want me to do that fifty more times then I can! It would help me warm up a bit!" Goku says and Momo couldn't help but feel utter disbelief at what she saw. A kid who is the same age or even younger took down a tree without breaking a sweat!
'Incredible! That kind of power while being the same age as me!' Momo gulps and soon they hear a voice in the distance.
"Goku! Goku where are you?!" An older and most likely elderly voice calls out through the trees and everyone turns to the source, finding an older man running toward his grandson.
"Grandpa! Hey! I was just helping them cut down some trees!" Goku says as he dives toward his grandpa into a hug.
"Oh my boy! I was wondering what was taking you so long!" Gohan says as he and Goku laugh at the turn of events. After the both of them settled they looked toward the construction workers around them and noticed that they stood as still as a statue. Momo wasn't much better as she felt a bead of sweat drip down her forehead.
"Momo! How goes the.. Gohan-sama?" A taller man with the same complexion as Momo walks up. His suit is a crisp blue with black oxford dress shoes and a matching black tie, as well as a perfectly white dress shirt underneath.
"Yoru! My boy it's been too long!" Gohan walks up to the man who embraces Gohan with the clutch of a tiger.
"Yes it has master. Tell me, is this Goku?" Yoru asks and Gohan grins before giving Goku a gentle shove toward Yoru.
"Goku this is Yoru, one of my oldest pupils. Yoru this is Goku my grandson." Goku grins at the man as he bows in respect. Yoru does likewise before beckoning Momo over to his side.
"I see you've met my daughter already Goku-kun." Yoru says and Goku nods.
"Yeah! She's a really smart girl!" Goku says and Momo blushes at the praise.
"You're.. very strong yourself." She admits shyly and both Gohan and Yoru look at each other with knowing expressions. Goku then started chatting up Momo who was much shyer than she was about ten minutes ago. Especially now that she's out of work mode.
"They get along well don't they?" Gohan asks as Goku demonstrates a punch for Momo to follow. She does so hesitantly before Goku corrects her form.
"I would have to agree master. They're already becoming fast friends." Both Gohan and Yoru keep watch of their dependents as they continue talking amongst themselves. What the four didn't know then was that this chance meeting would change their lives forever.
Ten Years Later
"Momo! Hey!" Goku appears at the Yaoyorozu mansion dressed in their school uniform. A white dress shirt with black slacks and black dress shoes. Although Goku undoes the top button because it was getting too hard to breathe.
"Gokuuu!" Momo appears at the door with her own version of the uniform on. The difference being a black skirt and black stockings.
"Is your mom and dad home?" Goku asks and Momo shakes her head.
"No, it's just me and the butlers today. They were called away on business." Momo says and Goku nods.
"Huh, okay then! What are you up to?" Goku asks as Momo invites him into her home.
"I was going over my answers on the homework we received yesterday." Momo says as they step into the dining hall of her place, and Goku whistles in appreciation every time he sees it.
"I'd rather talk about training but if it's homework that's on your mind.." Goku teases and Momo rolls her eyes.
"You always talk about training Goku, it's almost like there's nothing outside of that." Momo arches her eyebrow and Goku shakes his head.
"That's not true! There's you of course, you're inside of my life right?" Goku says as he wraps an arm around her shoulder. Momo blushes at the gesture as well as his words while they walk to the table. Goku grins as he takes the seat at the end of the table while Momo resides to his left, her cheeks, neck, and ears still heated from his behavior.
"Are you turning sick Momo? You seem to be heating up.." Goku places a hand on her forehead, getting Momo flustered as his shirt opens up a little to reveal mighty pectorals.
'How can he just leave his button undone like that?!' Momo internally shrieks and soon she grabs Goku's wrist to gently put it down on the table.
"I-I'm fine! It's just a little hot.. is all." Momo looks to Goku who accepts her words with a grain of salt.
"Okay, I was real worried for a sec! I hope you're taking care of yourself Mo.." Goku says and Momo nods vigorously.
"You don't need to worry Goku.. I'm in perfect health." She says as if she was telling the time of day. Meanwhile Goku peeks at her chest for the briefest of moments, letting his thoughts run away from him.
'Ain't that the truth..' He blinks his mildly perverted thoughts aside as Momo rings a bell that she makes from herself.
"I'll have breakfast delivered to us, and then we can go to school together." Momo says and Goku grins in excitement.
"Awesome! I sure am hungry!" Goku laughs and Momo smiles at him, he was just a carefree guy, she found it adoring.
"You won't have to wait long.." She says and Goku keeps his grin, happy as a clam with a pearl inside its mouth. A few moments after she says those words multiple platters covered by silver domed lids arrive through butler transportation. Goku's eyes turn sparkly like glitter that was basking in the sun. He watches all of the food come to his and Momo's way as they are stacked in front of them.
"Thanks you guys!" Goku says to the butlers who bow with respect before leaving as soon as they came. He notices Momo with her own three plates to Goku's ten.
"Must be hungry today huh Mo?" He asks and Momo blushes.
"You know it's for my quirk Goku.. I need a healthy dosage of calories and fat to make sure my quirk works properly." Momo explains and Goku nods.
"Don't I know it! It's really incredible what you can do!" Goku says as he dives into a T-Bone steak that was in front of him. Meanwhile Momo blushes before eating some of her eggs and bacon. Goku was in a complimentary mood today, and she was definitely enjoying it.
A short time passes by as both Goku and Momo stuff themselves with the food, both feeling full from their breakfast.
"Oh man! That was delicious!" Goku pats his belly as Momo giggles at his behavior. It was really the simple things with him..
"I'll let Stefan know you said so." Momo says and Goku smiles at her.
"Please do! It was great!" Goku encourages and Momo smiles back. Momo takes out her phone and a look of concentration is plastered on her face.
"Hmm, it's about time we head to the limo.." Momo says and Goku nods.
"School time I guess. So fun." Goku sighs and Momo hits him lightly on the arm.
"Oh come on! It's our last day. It isn't so bad.. Soon we'll be going to U.A. to become heroes!" Momo's eyes sparkle in delight while Goku chuckles at her expression.
"You're right, this is going to be great." Goku says and soon he drags Momo outside to their awaiting limo. Momo is caught off guard by his sudden enthusiasm but lets him drag her anyways.
Oh what it was like to have a best friend like Son Goku. They get inside the limo and immediately Momo goes on a tangent. She grabs Goku's hand and starts talking a mile a minute.
"But seriously! We're going to start our training to become heroes! Soon we'll be saving people, taking down Villains, studying to our heart's cont-"
"Whoa whoa whoa! Mo, take it easy, we've got a lot of time before we do all that." Goku says and Momo immediately deflates, the wind taken out of her sails.
"Y-yes.. you're right. I was getting way ahead of myself.." She mumbles and Goku grins at her, he gives her hand a comforting squeeze that has her looking up to him.
"What I mean is.. we have all the time in the world to become the best that we can be." Goku says and Momo's blush intensifies.
"R-right!" Both her and Goku stay like that for a little while longer as they're driven to their school.
Momo can't help but be excited for her and Goku's future.
Hey everyone! I've drummed up this story because I think it would be pretty sweet. Something I don't take too seriously but feel compelled to tell anyways. I hope you all enjoy it as Goku and Momo go on some adventures together. Nothing like some sweet slice of life as well as some kickass action scenes!
