Beyond The Forest
Chapter 11: Caught And Collard

A/N: Im very sorry for this veerryyy long update, my writing took a nose dive on monday and didn't recover until today. With football and other things stealing my time and just not in the mood after being chewed out by my coaches about being a starter and not killing people (Figuratively speaking) along with the other yada yada.

***********

Chi-Chi groaned irritably as she woke up rather groggy her eyes were barely focusing on what was around her. Except the feel of hard steel on her back. Her eyes focused in as iron bars surrounded her. " What the hell is going on!?" She yelled sitting up but her bulging stomach prevented her from getting up far. Just last night she and Goku had gone to sleep allot earlier then usual but they were a little bushed when they went to bed. Just what the hell had happened

" So the demon's bitch is up?" A voice snickered as her head turned meeting something she wasn't expecting. A man... but he wasn't like others. His hair wasn't black, his eyes weren't even brown either. He had blonde hair and blue eyes a very strange appearance. " So your the girl Chi-Chi huh? Your father paid us good money to find you and bring you back."

Chi-Chi's eyes went wide with worry and fear. She hadn't seen her father in eight months, how could she bare to see her own father. It was something she dreaded now. Growing accustomed to being with Goku and away from the entire village for so long she didn't want anyone to see her anymore. She was content with Goku but it didn't seem things were going to go that way now. " Where is he?" She asked as the man looked back with a snicker.

" He's right next to you." He grinned as she looked to her side and in cage next to her lay her unconscious Goku. But he looked like a real animal now. His face was cut and bruised, heavy chains and weights were attached to his body. A thick metal collar of spikes was coiled around his neck. " He was a little violent at first but we locked him up nice and tight. He won't be moving for awhile. There's at least a good two tons of weight holding him down.

" How can you possibly hope to lift that? Or even move it?" Chi-Chi asked in bewilderment of how they even planned of moving him. Or worse if they didn't, but why bother of tying him up instead of killing him if that's what they wanted.

The man let out a hearty laugh. " I figured as much. You've never seen any of the technology we have little girl. We're not going to move it...." He said suggestively as a loud bang was heard making her jump as the place around her began to move. " This vehicle will." He chuckled as Chi-Chi looked terrified.

The truck rolled into the village as the outside world had reached this isolated country bringing in new improvements in technology and science that at one time seemed nothing more then a childish dream. Villagers were swarming the new foreigners eager to see what new things came from the outside world. Simple life commodities to the foreigners were almost mystical to the villagers who had never seen vehicles, rifles, pistols, weaved blankets and very decorative clothing that they brought in.

It was almost a giant flea market of new goods that no one bothered to see the truck roll through the village and stop at a house. The back dropped off as the top cover was removed revealing its cargo which instantly caught attention. " Its Ox's Daughter!" One man cried soon bringing the entire village to that one spot. The men driving it grinned wolfishly as they wheeled out the prize. The Demon.....

A burst of cheers and cries like a parade rippled through the village as everyone cheered as the Demon was unloaded before their eyes. The plague that had been a constant problem to their village was now caught! Men thanked the foreigners with gratitude untold as there were so many lives lost at his hands that it was a blessing to see the beast brought back with them. It wasn't much longer that Chi-Chi's own father came outside and saw what the commotion was about. He was angered but glad with his site.

His daughter was back though her clothing was repulsive and the cage that held her was not what he had wanted. At least she was back. " Please bring my daughter inside I do not wish this display to continue." He said as the men shrugged and unlocked the cage and dragged a limp Chi-Chi inside.

She didn't have the strength or the will to fight them as she was brought inside. She only looked back as two of the men remained keeping the villagers away from Goku for now. She was let go as they brought her to the living room. Her father had a set of clothes ready for her but his eyes caught site of her swollen stomach. But he was no fool to what was happening to her. The Demon had gotten his jollies off on his daughter but it didn't matter he would get rid of the little beast once it was born.

" So Ox.... you already know are fee." Chi-Chi looked up seeing another foreigner as her father gave her clothes. She didn't bother putting them on as she watched her father pull out a few pieces of gold. The man smiled wickedly as he took the gold and shook her father's hand. " Pleasure doing business with you." He and his friend strolled out leaving her alone with her father who shook his head sadly but smiled as he went over to her.

Goku felt himself being prodded by something as he stirred. His eyes slowly opening and his hands clenched as he moved to get up. Slowly the feeling of cold steel beneath his hands woke him up. He looked to his side as a few young village children with sticks currently poking him fell into his eyes. He lashed out violently but something on his neck dug into his skin making him cough and fall backwards. He hit the floor of his cell as laughter rippled through the air. He growled as his tried to reach his neck but were also bound to the steel floor.

" Ah looks like he's awake!" A voice called out as he realized where he was. In the middle of the village as a celebration was in progress. His eyes glowed dangerously but went immediately to his mate which sat with her head hung as the human next to her laughed at him. Her tear streaked face looked up at him as she cried unbeknownst to anyone. It made him snap as he felt her pain of seeing him like that. ' What did they do to my mate!?'

" CHI-CHI!!!!" He screamed violently as he punched the bars with his fists barely denting it and nearly breaking his hand. He howled in pain but continued to claw and lash at the cage that confined him. " GIVE ME MY CHI-CHI!!" He screamed again violently as his eyes narrowed on the crowd which heard his words putting them all into silence.

" He speaks!?" One voice said flabbergasted with the thought slowly following many more voices who were also stunned by the demon's voice.

" Yes...." Chi-Chi said meekly as those around her looked. " I taught him how, but he's not very good at it still." She hung her head as everyone looked to Ox and to the other before bursting with laughter.

" Yes it makes sense now! He stole your daughter to learn how to speak!" One of the foreigners laughed bringing more drunk laughter from everyone except her. She cried to herself as her hands covered her face. ' No he didn't kidnap me to speak! He kidnapped me because he loved me!' She thought as her heart broke for him as people laughed and taunted Goku. Rocks and sticks were thrown each one bouncing off him and bringing more and more fury to an already enraged animal.

His teeth bit down on the chains as his claws clawed and swung at everything as he yelled in fury. Everything tormenting him again, being persicutated and bringing back old feelings that he'd rather not remember. But as he saw his mate cry it slowly stopped his tirade as she was so miserable. Watching her tears fall was worse then any blow they could of caused. Seeing her all in pain, so alone without him. Seeing this done to him, he knew how much it must hurt to be ripped away from him again. He stopped and flopped down seemingly giving up and letting them hit and pelt him with whatever they wished.

Chi-Chi couldn't stand it as she watched him get hurt. Everything in his eyes told her it all. He was just as miserable as her, the stones and dirt that were thrown in his face only made him snort as shards of glass were thrown cutting into his skin but he sat giving up. And the villagers lost the spirit as the Demon only took their anger making the purpose in hitting something that just stared at you with cold empty eyes much less enjoyable.

Chi-Chi stood up and left her father's side which got everyone's attention as she made her way to the cage. She didn't care if they saw she didn't want this to go on. Everyone moved out of the way smiling thinking that she wanted her own part in the violence but her actions were far from what everyone expected. She leaned into the bars just enough to let her face reach through and let her hand slip up to his face. Goku's own hand gently grasped hers as he leaned into her palm. His other hand reaching to gently touching her cheek and wiping away her tears.

" Me sorry. I don't want to see you cry." Goku said comforting her with his words as she smiled through her tears as Goku kissed her hand.

" Its okay I know your only worried about me." She said rubbing his cheek which made him smile as well. Everyone gasped in shock and disgust as Chi-Chi comforted the Demon. The thing that put her through a living hell, she was now comforting!? " Hey what the hell are you doing!?" One man yelled as he walked up behind her. Most of the other villagers were grumbling and murmuring as they watched this display of affection. The man grabbed Chi-Chi's arm and pulled her away violently. She didn't bother fighting as Goku growled warningly as he held onto her wrist for a moment longer before letting go.

But as this went on some of the foreigners looked at the sight. " I say sir that's a waste. I mean back in the country people would pay good money to see that on T.V. or in a circus or something. Maybe a Zoo if you wanted that." The man said as he cleaned out his pistol. He looked down through the chamber making sure it was clean before loading in a magazine. The leader of the group blew out the smoke from his cigarette as she looked down at them.

" You know your actually right about that...." He said with a smirk as those around him looked to their leader as he saw money in something. " I mean the little bounty that man gave us was hardly anything, but if you sold those two.... Can you imagine just how much money we could get?" He laughed to himself as the thoughts of how much wealth that could bring in. " Just imagine it boys..... do you know how many people would line up to see a real live Demon and his mate!? We would have to idiots not to take those two back with us." He said standing up quickly and looking back to his men. " Saddle up boys we're taking them back with us one way or another."
