Better Late Than Never

It had been a wild month for Goku and Chi–Chi. After two months of frustration and a lack of understandietweetween them, they had discovered the wonders of sex and being in love for the first time. Chi–Chi was very happy with her untamed husband, despite his complete lack of what she’d call "finishing".

He was a changed man after she’d explained about her insecurities from his apparent lack of desire for her. Now she knew he’d been completely ignorant about sex, even though he’d been trained by Kame-sen’nin, one of the most etchi men to walk the earth. Goku had mohan han made up for it since then. In fact, she was barely able to get anything done. It was still so new to both of them; she would find herself pausing and shivering in delight at a memory of Goku taking her in the kitchen, and within moments, he’d be there to relive the scene. Or she’d be stirring the water for the laundry (She had to get a washer in here soon) and he’d suddenly be there, black eyes blazing with need. She had no complaints, none at all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Goku was lightly leaping from tree to tree, just enjoying his own grace and power. Not that he was one to brag, but he knew he was strong, and his body did as he wanted it to. He paused and then rose over the treetops, sighing with delight as he saw all of Pauzu Valley spread below him. He called the Kin–to’un and sat on it, smiling as he saw his neighbors in the far, far distance, scurrying and living their lives. It didn’t affect him much, he and Chi–Chi lived so far away from them.

Speaking of Chi–Chi, he could see her now, dressed in shorts and a tight white tank top, a huge brimmed hat on her head, weeding and planting her garden. With little effort, he focused on her, his superior vision aiding him to see what a human would need a telescope for. She grew clearer and clearer, still small from here, but obviously pretty, her skin pink from the sun. He felt a stirring within him, and smiled. “I wonder if she’ll get mad if I come ta her right now? I know, I’ll take ’r to the river ta cool off! Its hot out, I bet she’d like that!” He nodded and jumped up, standing on the golden cloud. He leaned forward, and Kin-to’un obeyed his intent…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chi–Chi sat on her bare heels and wiped her brow with a dusty forearm. She huffed and looked at the sun. It was nearly noon, and she wasn’t close to done yet. Maybe she should take a break until it cooled off. She felt her skin getting burnt slightly, and decided to go and make a snack for lunch. She’d just stood when she heard and felt a rush of air coming for her. She gasped and turned just as strong arms swept her up off the ground. Her scream was deafening.

“GOOOOOOOOKUUUUUUUUUUU!!! Help me! ” She cried, fighting what she assumed was an enemy of her husbands, maybe even that hideous Piccolo–daimyo himself. She fought to free an arm, and heard a grunt before she fell.

She began to scream, but despite being so high in the air, she only fell about two feet, landing on something soft and familiar. She opened her eyes, and saw a puzzled Goku, standing on what she was sitting on; Kin-to’un. She blinknd lnd looked about then gasped. They were high above the valley floor, and she was nearly dangling off the side of the sacred cloud while Goku stared at her like she was nuts. “Chi–Chi?”

“Goku? Goku!” she said, her voice rising. “Goku, you nearly scared me to death! What were you thinking, swooping down and… ahhhhhhhh!” She had tried to stand, and fell right off the side of the cloud as it hovered high in the sky above their lands. Goku dove after her, catching her long before she was close to the ground, but she clung to him, shivering and wide eyed. He called Kin-to’un again, and sat with her on his lap.

“I’m sorry I scared ya, Chi–Chi! I saw ya and you looked hot, I thought ya’d like a dip in the river, that’s all!” Goku said, as she held onto him with a death grip. She nodded and slowly recovered her tongue.

“Goku, you’re a idiot, I thought you were Piccolo or something!” She gasped. He chuckled and buried his nose in her hair, now loose since her hat had long since blown away.

“Chi–Chi, I’dve sensed ol’ Pic if he was here! Listen…” He made her look at him and frowned. "I swear, I’ll never, ever let anyone hurt ya, ok? If Piccolo comes for you, he has to kill me first, got it?” He said seriously. She blinked, shocked at his very serious face. The happy childlike man was gone, leaving a warrior in his place. She nodded and felt her heart beat faster at the thought of his words. He did love her, though he never said it after that first time. He didn’t really understand the word, and had made it a rule not to use words he didn’t understand. Besides, he felt his actions told her how he felt.

For once, she agreed. She could see his possessiveness, very of cof character for him. Chi–Chi’s eyes softened and she smiled in such a way that Goku’s throat closed. He pulled her closer and sent the cloud flying to the river.

“You mean that Goku? I know you hate to kill things you won’t be eating…” She purred. To her surprise, he didn’t laugh at her joke.

“I mean it. I let him live because we both know I’m stronger and a better fighter. But if he even thinks of hurting you… I’ll give him to Yajirobei to eat. Deal?” She snuggled tighter to him, despite the heat of the day.

They felt the cooler breeze from the gorge the river flowed through, and Goku stopped them, floating high above the water. Chi–Chi stood confidently on the cloud, and then paused. She looked back and forth and then looked down at the very long drop.

“I’d like to swim with you, but… where do we leave our clothes?” She said curiously. Goku grinned and pulled his gi off, stripping naked while she braced herself on the shifting vapor. He carefully folded his clothes and stood, smiling at her to do the same. She didn’t want to leave heotheothes here… who ever heard of leaving your clothes on a cloud, even a sacred one? But she had no choice, so she pulled her top and shorts off, then reached back for the bra hooks.

“Hmm… let me!” Goku said, that look in his eyes. She demurely crossed her arms over her breasts as he reached around her and deftly unhooked her, then when she coyly didn’t remove the garment, knelt and tugged off her panties. She pushed her knees together and looked down at him. He paused, thinking, and then scooted backwards. She waited, yet wasn’t ready when he pulled her down onto him. Kin-to’un spread itself out more evenly, stretching itself into a flat surface for them while Goku wrestled with her for her undergarments.

By the time he won and had Chi–Chi was naked as he, they were laughing, and she leaned over him, looking young and sweet, like she rarely looked. She smiled at him, her hair blowing over his chest. Goku slid a hand behind her neck and pulled her down for a kiss. The coyness was gone, and she met him with eagerness, her tongue twining with his as her hands rested on his shoulders. He swept one hand down her back, again admiring her strong frame. Though slender, Chi–Chi was also visibly strong, and he loved to feel her strength, the deep curve of her spine and firm rear. His hands cupped the smooth curves of her ass as his mouth opened wider, sucking on her lips and tongue, taking the air from her lungs. Chi–Chi moaned and dug her nails into his silky skin as he settled her over his body, her breasts crushed against him.

They forgot that they were hovering hundreds of feet in the air; all they knew was desire for each other. Chi–Chi finally broke free to breathe, dizzy from the kiss and lack of air. She gasped and felt Goku nibble her neck while his warm hands kneaded her rear, shoving her hips against his. She felt his manhood stiffening against her belly. One of her hands dropped down to it, holding him firmly while he dug his teeth into her neck. He wished he could really bite her, but she wouldn’t allow him to mark her like that. Instead, he dropped to her shoulder and sank his canines into the soft flesh there.

Chi–Chi gasped; it felt good, pain and pleasure mixing as he sucked blood to the surface and lapped it with his tongue. Her hand tightened even more on his shaft, and he rocked his hips under her, moving himself in her grip. His free hand came up and cupped her breast, fingers teasing her nipple until it was stiff and dark pink. Chi–Chi suddenly pressed her body against him; she wanted him inside her, somehow his biting her was making her passion unbearable.

They rolled over and Goku finally released her shoulder, licking the trickles of blood from his lips; her blood was sweet and light, and made him feel intoxicated. He turned his attention to her breasts, and latched onto her nipples. Chi–Chi’s moans were music to his ears, he loved it, and suckled her lusciously, hands drifting over her inner thighs and teasing her by avoiding the heat between them.

Chi–Chi had lost her grip on him during this move, so she held onto his hair, twining the smooth black locks with her fingers, her legs opening wider for him as his hands teased her, brushing the black tuft of hair with feather softness. Her spine tingled, her skin shivered, Chi–Chi was suffering from her need for him.

She moaned when she felt his hardness press against her thigh as Goku moved closer. Her hips wriggled to encourage him; he hardly needed it, as he was aching himself to be buried into her heat. Still he teased her a little longer, his fingers delving into her cleft and stroking her within, her honey coating him in seconds.

“Please… please Goku!” She hissed as she felt his now expert fingers touch all the right places. He heard the catch in her voice; he sat back, hauling her up with him and stretched his legs out straight so she straddled his lap. Chi–Chi didn’t hesitate, but grasped his throbbing length and put him to her entrance herself, sliding down onto him with a sigh. He leaned back on his hands and flexed his hips just a little, shoving his er der deeper into her. Chi–Chi hooked her legs around his and pushed back, then leaned back herself, bracing her hands on his thighs behind her. They arched together this way, heads back as their bodies bent backwards, shoving them together over and over. Goku couldn’t resist her pert breasts for long though, as Chi–Chi heaved and panted in her single–minded effort to reach the peak. He remained sitting up and cupped their weight, squeezing her and groaning as he went into overload. He stiffened and then clasped her close to him as he shook and pressed his face to her neck.

Chi–Chi grabbed onto him as she felt her own crisis hit, felt him pouring into her. They gasped and shuddered together for a moment, before Goku collapsed backwards, Chi–Chi sprawled on his chest and holding him inside her still.

They dozed a little, Kin-to’un drifting lower and lower to the river, until they were roused by the cooler air and light mist from the falls. Chi–Chi sat up and shook her head, her loose hair drifting about her. She felt wonderful, if a little weak. She smiled down at Goku, who looked just as tired.

“Goku–saa, lets swim now, ok?” He nodded and opened his eyes. She looked so pretty, her eyes sparkling and her face flushed. He pulled her down for a kiss…

And felt something strange… a new Ki, right on top of them! He gasped against her lips and sat up, eyes darting about.

There was nothing else near them. Nothing moved except for the birds on the breeze and the river as it made its lazy way down the valley. Chi–Chi sat nervous beside him, puzzled by his actions. He was all smiling and happy one moment, ready to fight the next… There wasn’t even anyone there to fight with! But she knew Goku was able to sense his enemies, and trusted him to take care of trouble… even if he was stark naked. With a gasp, Chi–Chi remembered that she was also naked, and crossed her arms over her breasts, looking about for the peeper/trouble maker her husband had sensed.

“Goku… who do you think it is?” She whispered. Goku didn’t reply, sitting silently, his eyes wide open and sniffing the air with his mouth slightly open to catch any possible scent. But there was nothing, just this ephemeral Ki. He knew it was there, no doubt about it.

“I… I feel some’ne. But it’s real faint. It was real powerful for a second there, I swore he was right here wit’ us, Chi–Chi!” Goku said at last. He forced himself to relax and smiled at her. “I guess we c’n swim now.” She frowned, still looking around.

“Are you sure its safe, Goku?” She said softly, still worried. He nodded. "“I tol’ ya, its nearly gone now. Let go!” His mood was restoring itself quickly now that he felt it was safe. Chi–Chi was slower to relax, but she let him take her and jump into the river, though she did scream quite loudly during the long drop…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That evening, both of them were smiling and cheerful again, refreshed by their swim. Chi–Chi had gone back to her gardening, and Goku had done his work out in the yard, so he could watch her. This of course meant that he interrupted her a few times, though at length Chi–Chi did finish her work. She washed up to cook and put on a clean dress, and since Goku liked her hair down so much, she left it free for the evening. It wasn’t really seemly fomarrmarried woman to have long hair free of ties or a bun, but since they were alone, it couldn’t hurt.

Once dinner was finished, Goku began stoking the fire under the tub outside. He wore only his orange pants, his shirt and boots resting in a pile by the door. Chi–Chi was just finishing the dishes when he poked his head in the window.

“Dear, why don’ya join me for a bath? It’s real warm! It’s a nice night for it!” He said, eyes wide with hopefulness. Chi–Chi was about to refuse, but then realized she’d like a bath. She’d only washed quickly in the shower, and a bath would be nice. Of course, Goku bathed in water just shy of boiling, but… she was the daughter of Gyu-–moa, she could handle anything her husband could!

“Sure, why not? I’ll go wash up.” She said smiling as his face lit up. Her heart hurt as she watched him run over to blow the fire out for her. She went into the bathroom and showered, cleaning off the day’s dirt and grime. She piled her hair up on her head and wrapped in a towel, went outside to join Goku.

The tub was typically Japanese; a large half-barrel for soaking in. Like Japanese families, Goku and Chi–Chi washed clean before entering the tub for a long soak. Now he sat waiting, eyes closed as the heat worked into his muscles. Chi–Chi sighed and stepped up the ladder so she could get in.

“Goku?” She queried, needing his help to get in. If the bath had been for herself, she’d be able to get in slowly but on her own. At Goku temperature, she needed a quick dunking and a short scream as she adjusted. Goku stood and smiled as she dropped her towel. He slid his hands around her waist and lifted her against him and then sat down in the near boiling water. She gave a short yell of pain and then felt the hot numbing as her skin began to tighten and get used to it.

Goku set her across from him and smiled sheepishly. Chi–Chi tried to glare at him, but couldn’t help smiling back.

“It’s really hot tonight, Goku–saa… but its ok, it feels wonderful.” She assured him. He grinned and then leaned back, eyes closing again. She relaxed and watched him, noting again how he was almost pretty, with his fine-boned face and long black eyelashes. His hair was wilting from the steam… she wondered for the umpteenth time just how it stood up and out like that. He had no idea of his own origins, which made him that much more fascinating to her. She tilted her head to the side as she pondered him, her strange, almost alien husband.

He was so innocent, yet could be remarkably intelligent about things. He was naïve and wise at the same time… and he was breathtakingly handsome, at least to her. She slid closer to him, and took one hand into hers. She leaned closer so she could inspect it. She knew what she’d see; skin that was remarkable in its near flawlessness, pale and smooth. His palms had no callus, despite working out, fighting and wielding his Nyoi–bo almost everyday. Each finger was incredibly strong, she knew he could do on finger push ups and finger–stands for hours. They showed their strength only when he was angry of fighting. She had watched him as closely as she could when he fought the evil Piccolo, and though he looked almost soft, with a nice definition during his days here with her, he’d been transformed then. She shivered as she remembered his strong muscles standing out in stark relief to his soft gentleness here at home.

Yes, her Goku was an unusual creature indeed.

She turned her attention to his hand again, feeling his silky soft skin. She knew every inch of him was covered in skin just as fine and soft, soft as a baby’s skin… she smiled wider. Babies… she’d like to have some babies. She closed her eyes and saw them, two sons; one just like her, one who looked just like Goku. Of course, she’d be sure to educate them, so they wouldn’t be social cripples like their father, but she just knew her and Goku’s children would be beautiful!

Goku was enjoying Chi–Chi’s stroking caresses to his hand. She held and massaged it, then paused, her touch going feather light. The tiny hairs of his neck and arms rose as he felt chills of delight from it. He cracked his eyes open and saw her looking dreamy–eyed. She didn’t notice when he inched closer, eyes wide. She jumped slightly when he kissed her.

“Goku?” She breathed.

“Ya looked so pretty like that. What were ya dreamin’ of?” He whispered. She blushed and looked down demurely.

“Babies… I’d like us to have some babies, Goku… is that alright?” He blinked.

“Sure, I guess so. Where d’you get them from?”

There was a long drawn out silence as Chi–Chi digested his words.

“Where… where do you get them from?” She repeated. He nodded, eyes guileless. She stared at him ama “Ar “Are you serious? You have no idea where babies come from?”

“Nope, notta clue. I gues’ you don’ know either, ne Chi–san?” He said easily. “I guess we can ask someone, maybe Muten Roshi or Bulma’s parents… That’s it, they havta know, thed tad ta’ve got Bulma from somewhere!” He grinned at his solution to what he perceived as a problem that might bother his wife. Chi–Chi sat gaping at him, stunned yet again by his utter lack of sense and knowledge.

“Son Goku! You are without a doubt the most… the most…” She started to berate him.

“Best husband ya ever had?” He finished, oblivious to her incredulous fury. His ingenious expression was too much for Chi–Chi. She burst into laughter, splashing him and chocking when he splashed back. They wrestled for a moment, until Goku pinned her against the side of the tub. She panted and looked up into his happy face.

“I am, ain’t I?” He said, grinning like a fool. She shook her head.

“You are such a crazy man, Goku. Now let me down, and I’ll…” She paused, not sure she wanted to explain baby–making to Goku. She just wasn’t sure she could do it without blushing her face off. He took her pause to mean something else entirely, and slid down so their lips could meet. Chi–Chi felt the normal thrill from his kiss, added to the knowledge that each time they made love, it was another chance to have a baby. Her arms wrapped around him as she felt him sit back, taking her with him so she sat across his lap. His hands slid over her in the mineral rich water, her skin sleek and smooth under his fingertips. Goku felt Chi–Chi crush her breasts against his chest, and felt her Ki rise a little as she grew more excited…

Then he felt it again… a strange new Ki, the same one as he’d felt by the river. He stiffened and wrapped his arms around her, eyes wide as he scanned the area for whoever it was. Chi–Chi froze too, eyes staring at him as she waited for him to explain what was wrong.

“I’m sorry, it’s that Ki… I feel it again! And it’s so close! Its right on top of us!" He whispered. Chi–Chi shivered and asked what she should do. He jumped out of the tub and shoved her towards the house. She ignored her towel, dashing inside and slamming the dooosedosed. Goku stood there, stark naked and dripping wet, all his finely tuned senses searching for the Ki… it was fading ever so slightly now, as if it was… Goku’s eyes narrowed.

As if it were in the house!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chi–Chi tugged a dress over her wet body, careless of her appearance in this emergency. She looked for and found the Nyoi-bo and grasped it, ready to defend herself. She heard someone through the door open and spun about, prepared to bash in the head of the attacker.

Goku stood there naked and glowing as he powered up, bristling with malice for whoever was spying on his wife and himself. “Com’out, I know you’re here!” he yelled. Chi–Chi nearly dropped the Bo as her ears rang under the assault of his voice. He stormed into the house, looking about and scowling in a most not–Goku–like manner. He could feel that darned Ki! It was here!

“He’s inside the house, Goku–saa?” Chi–Chi gasped. He nodded and went to search the house. However he found nothing.

“Dammit, I can feel it, Chi–Chi, you haveta believe me!” he snapped. She blinked, unsure of just what was going on. She made him get dressed so he would be better prepared for whatever it was, and then begged him to be calm. Goku was positively vibrating with anger; something was here in his house, and he couldn’t find it!

“Come on, Goku, relax and try again to pinpoint it!” Chi–Chi said, wondering if she should give him a stiff drink. They only had liquor for entertaining, but he was so tense. He did as she bade him though, and sitting down on the floor forced himself to find his wa, his inner harmony like his Grandpa Gohan had taught him. Once calmed, he carefully filtered his senses to find this Ki. He stood and slowly let himself float towards it, his hand outstretched, and finally came up against something soft…

He opened his eyes to see a perplexed Chi–Chi staring at him as he rested his hand on her breast. He jumped back, eyes wide with shock.

“What are you doing, Goku?” She asked him, pushing his hand away. He shook his head.

“It’s comin’ from ya, Chi–Chi! That Ki! Its right here… its you!” He said nervously. She cowered and looked about.

“It’s near me right now?”

“Its you, I swear, Chi–Chi! It’s comin’ from… "He closed his eyes and let his hand find the exact point of the Ki’s origin. His hand rested on her belly this time. He opened his eyes. "Right here… its here!” he said, alarmed. The strange Ki was inside his Chi–Chi! He watched as she looked down at his hand on her, and then seemed to be in shock for a few moments. He lifted her chin to look into her eyes, ready to try to figure this out, and was alarmed that she was crying.

“Chi–Chi, we’ll figure this out, its gonna be ok, I promise!” He said urgently, sure she was terrified. She smiled the most beautiful and sweet smile, her hand coming up to touch his on her cheek. She kissed him like she’d never kissed him before, his whole body melted from it. He wanted to worry about this Ki, to take her to someone who might help them, but he couldn’t do anything but return the kiss, his hands holding her head as she leaned into him. Chi–Chi dropped to the floor and Goku followed her, her hands opening his gi and running over his chest. All the while she was weeping softly, her tears warm on his face.

He b the the kiss, but before he could speak, she put her finger over his lips. She bent and worked his clothes off him and he peeled her dress off. Chi–Chi lay back on the soft rug and pulled him down on top of her, her hands roaming and stroking him, arousing him madly with those feather light touches he loved so much. He held himself over her on his arms and closed his eyes, letting her explore and kiss his chest, his shoulders. He bent and somehow captured her lips and they met in another melting kiss that left both of them breathless.

Chi–Chi felt his throbbing hardness pressed to her stomach and dropped back flat on the floor. He bent and placed his mouth to her nipples, his hands braced on either side of her waist now, grinding his erection into her belly until she grasped him in her soft yet powerful grip. She tugged on him to guide him to the spot, and they gasped as he slid into her warmth. They rested for a few seconds before Goku slid out anded bed back inside, enjoying her lush inner hold on him as he gently thrust into her. Chi–Chi clung to him, her whole body flexing to wrap around him, head arched back as she gasped at each motion into her body. Goku was sweating as he sought his climax and held back at once. Chi–Chi’s soft moans were making his control slip, and he ground at her harder, one hand cradling her back to get more pressure. Her body arched up to meet him, and then she gasped and shook under him, her inner walls clamping down on him. He groaned and slammed into her as he spilled his orgasm, barely catching himserom rom collapsing onto her.

Chi–Chi panted lightly, damp and content. Goku lay cuddled up to her, his worry slow to return. Somehow, it felt ok, even if she was infected with some strange Ki. She seemed to sense his unease and turned to look at him.

“Goku–saa… its all right, I’m ok… you have to believe me. I am going to try to explain this to yout iut its gonna be hard, so try to be patient, ok?” She said quietly. He was wary but nodded; Chi–Chi wasn’t really all that patient with him when she was trying to explain things to him, but…

“Ok, I need to tell you something. Babies aren’t something you buy, Goku. You don’t find them or anything like that. Babies come from their mothers. Women have them… no; we create them with the help of the babies fathers. Do you think you understand so far?” He thought and nodded.

“Sort of. Ya aren’t done, are ya? There’s more to tell, ne?” She nodded too.

“So, see, we carry the babies inside our bodies from the time the fathers help us create them until thee a e a little more ready to be… um until they are born. We carry them here…” She took his hand and placed it on her belly, right where the strange Ki was. He sat up and looked at her stomach, as if he could see what she meant.

“Ya carry ’em there? But I’ve seen babies, they ain’t that small… how’d they get there, and how’d they get out?” he asked. Now Chi–Chi was blushing, but she sat up and cleared her throat.

“Um, you know what we just did? Sex? Sex is how the fathers help create babies. Sex starts them, but only sometimes. Not every time some one has sex will a baby happen.

“Anyway, once the baby is started, it will stay inside the mother for about nine months. Then one day, she knows its time to get the baby out… and she goes to the hospital… well, maybe not.” She pressed her hand to her forehead. She better just give him the facts.

“The hospital?” He urged her to continue.

“No, forget the hospital. She goes through a lot of pain, but the mother has to push the baby out… out of here…” She took his hand and pressed his fingers to her tunnel. Goku froze and then jerked his hand back, his eyes white with stunned surprise.

“Chi–Chi! That means… that we… we… ” He looked at her for confirmation of what he’d just figured out. She smiled and nodded.

“Yes, that’s the Ki you keep feeling, Goku. It’s a baby! Our baby! We are going to have a baby!” She said, her voice rising in pitch, as she got more excited. Goku stared at her and then shrugged.

“That great, Chi–Chi… But inn’t there another way ta have a baby? I hate ta think of ya gettin’ hurt!” He said, eyes worried. She shook her head.

“That’s another discussion, Goku. For the most part there is no other way. But it will be ok, you’ll see.” She hugged herself, smiling that same sweet smile. Goku felt his heart squeeze and pulled her into his lap, snuggling her against him.

“Well, I’m glad, if it makes ya happy, Chi–Chi. It seems ta be makin’ ya happy.” He said softly in her ear. She nodded and leaned into him, feeling her amazement grow. They were going to have a baby already! It was hardly surprising, considering who much they’d been doing it though.

“Sorry it scared you, Goku. I guess it’s going to be strong like you… but I am not going to raise a fighter, got that? This baby will be a scholar, a genius! Only the best for my child, and it can do better than growing up to be a tournament fighter!” She nodded once and then relaxed against him again. She didn’t notice his stiffness, since he relaxed immediately.

Goku frowned over her disheveled black hair. Not fight? But he couldn’t raise a scholar, he didn’t know how! Then he smiled. Any child of his, if it was half his as Chi–Chi seemed to say, would have fighters blood in him. And there was no reason a kid couldn’t be a smart fighter… a scholar and a warrior too.

Yes, life was just getting better and better! Maybe next he’d finally find his long lost family…
