Strong Enough
by: Gwynneth de Lioncourt
Warnings: None, really. A bit of lime, but nothing big.
Notes: The song "Strong Enough to be My Man" is the property of Sheryl Crow. DB isn't mine either, sadly. This section was inspired by the song, obviously. It
gives a bit of insight into the torn up soul of our ex-android heroine as well as a glance at just how "innocent" Goku really isn't.

{God I feel like Hell tonight. The tears of rage I cannot lie...}
Eighteen finally sat down on a log near a long forgotten campfire. She rested her elbows on her knees and leaned forward on them with a sigh. "So this is what my
life has become..." If she could go back, she would have made sure that Krillin had never wished for her to be human. All of these emotions were wreaking havoc
on her psyche.
Eighteen put her face in her hands and began to cry, not because she had given up Krillin, but because she was alone. Being all alone was one of her greatest, if
not only, fears. The tears flowed, salty and wet, down her face. She was also angry at the fact that she couldn't control these sudden emotions, as of yet.

Goku sighed as he walked down the narrow forest path. Being all on his own was tough, but he had known that the price of freedom would be high. He laced his
fingers behind his head and whistled a little tune as he walked.
His coal black eyes took in the beautiful scenery around him, not really paying attention to where he was going, and not really caring where he was headed.
Unbeknownst to either of them, Goku had walked into the clearing where Eighteen sat, crying silently. Although they were facing each other, neither one of them
noticed the other until Goku walked right into Eighteen, losing his balance as he knocked her over and landing right on top of her.
{I'll be the last to help you understand. Are you strong enough to be my man?...}
The pair gasped and looked at each other for a moment before breaking into laughter. Goku smiled down at the blonde ex-android beneath him. "Heya, Eighteen!
How have ya been?"
She sighed and her red-rimmed gaze met his. "Things haven't been so great, lately. Three days ago.." She trailed off as her eyes filled with damnable tears again.
"Let me guess. You and Krillin broke up, right?" She nodded slightly and the tears leaked from her eyes, despite her efforts to stop them.
"Hey, now. Don't cry..." Goku gently wiped the dampness from her cheeks with his thumb. He gave her a boyish grin. "Wanna know a secret, Eighteen?" She
looked up at him questioningly. "I left Chichi three days ago. On the same day that you left Krillin."
She arched a brow and her sadness seemed to dissipate. "Strange coincidence, don't you think?"
He laughed and suddenly brought his face extremely close to hers, less than an inch away. His gaze connected with Eighteen's and he whispered softly, "What if
it's more than mere coincidence?"
The warmth of his breath on her skin made her heartbeat quicken and she countered, "What do you mean?"
"Do you think it could be fate? What if this is part of some cosmic scheme to get us together?"
She couldn't resist a smile at the sparkle in his eyes. He was almost like a child with his kind and gentle demeanor. So innocent... A wicked thought crossed her
mind as she became painfully aware of the weight of his body on top of hers. Maybe he wasn't so innocent after all.
She fought hard to fight the color trying to rise to her face and succeeded. "I think it's very possible, considering these circumstances. Fate could be the whole
reason why..." She was cut off mid-sentence as Goku gently brushed her lips with his.
"...Sorry. You were saying...?"
"Um..." The angle of her body, because of the log she was arched over, had her hips tight against his and her mind wandered for a moment. She had to nearly slap
herself to get back to reality. "I think the 'position' we're in is more than simple clumsiness," she said finally.
The saiyan above her smirked. "Nice little pun there, Eighteen."
"A pun, how so?" She blinked her blonde eyelashes in slight confusion.
He ran the backs of his fingers down her side and rested his hand on her hip, causing her to shiver. "'Position'..." Goku winked.
{Nothing's true and nothing's right. So let me be alone tonight. 'Cause you can't change the way I am. Are you strong enough to be my man?...}
This was too good to be true. There was no possible way that she could have found what she was searching for already. It had only been three days; something
about this couldn't be right. But he was being so happy and he was trying to cheer her up...
"Goku..." she began but didn't know how to finish.
"What is it?" He asked softly.
"I... I don't know if this is right. I'm not like you, emotions are new to me. And I don't know if that will ever change. I don't think anyone can ever help me to get
used to these feelings I have.." She turned her face to the side and sighed helplessly.
He cupped the side of her face in his hand and gently turned it back to face him. He smiled warmly. "Can't we at least give this a try, Eighteen? Maybe I can help
you get used to the emotions that you think you're suffering with. They really can be wonderful things when it all comes down to it."
{I have a face I cannot show. I make the rules up as I go. So try to love me, if you can. Are you strong enough to be my man...?}
"Goku... what if I'm not capable of loving someone? The things that Doctor Gero did to make all emotions disappear go very deep. I think that I was only with
Krillin because my brother was gone and I needed someone to keep me from being alone. Do you really think that you could love someone who might never
return those feelings for you?"
He nodded slightly. "I don't think I can, I know I can."
More doubts clouded her thoughts and eliminated the euphoria she had felt earlier.
{When I've shown you that I just don't care. When I'm throwing punches in the air. When I'm broken down and I can't stand. Are you strong enough to be my
man?...}
"What if I can never love you? What if the darkness that still hides inside of me suddenly lashes out? What if something happens to me, say another threat
appears, and I'm so injured that I can't even stand on my own? Would you still be able to love me, even if any or all of those were to occur?" Her voice was soft
and breathy. She was on the verge of tears again.
Goku kissed her forehead softly. He looked down into her eyes and gave her a smile that somehow made her doubts wash away. "Do you really want me to leave?
You seem like you do, and at the same time, you seem like you want me to be here forever."
{I'll believe. I promise, I'll believe. I don't need. But please, don't leave...}
She shook her head quickly. "No! I want...I want you to stay. Please... I don't want to be alone again..."
He squeezed her thigh gently and winked. "That's good. Because I really hadn't planned on leaving..."
She couldn't resist a quiet laugh.
