Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Dragonball eternal love part 1 ❯ Signal of love - complexity of minds and emotions... Misunderstanding ( Chapter 7 )

A/n: Hey guys, I'm back. In the last chapter, what I did to Krillin doesn't mean I don't like him. Things like that actually happened in the series. I told you this story is very repetitive. I have my reasons for still keeping it and don't change it. Actually it just has to happen in this story. You'll know why after you read this chapter. There has to be some little conflicts between Chichi and Krillin but later they would sort it out. That's why the theme I gave you in the last chapter is "No fighting…no friends", but this is only a minor part. The major part is at the end of the story, you would have wondered who it could be between ^_^, you'll be surprised. This story is about love and friendship, just exactly like the original series but in my own version ^_^

Additional theme:

When the two shapes of the cloud connect to each other, it is when our love blossom

2nd note: Sorry I didn't give you this theme in the last chapter because it's my favourite one and I didn't want you guys to forget about it so easily. I only give it to you when the chapter was somewhat related to it.

Chapter 7: Signal of love - complexity of minds and emotions… Misunderstanding

It was a nice sunny morning. The sunlight was shining all over the place making everything on the island seemed perfectly beautiful. Anyone who was in this sort of morning would feel perfectly calm and content. However, there in front of a little pink house, stood Goku who was carrying a frowning face. His hair was all on one side of his head due to the cool nice wind that flowed freely passed his face. Something seemed to be bothering him. Of course, having a day off from training like this really didn't make Goku so happy. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with having a day off, but he was bored and didn't have anything to do right now. Krillin was too sick to come out and play. Chichi was inside the house with Launch working on something that Goku couldn't quite understand what they were doing. He was told to go away many times. It wasn't that Chichi didn't want him to watch it but he only got in the way of the girls. Feeling left out, Goku sadly walked out of the house and walked around the front door trying to think of something to do.

Looking up at the sky, Goku noticed all the clouds attached to each other in some weird yet beautiful shapes. In between those clouds, there were two small shapes that looked like two incomplete hearts. The two shapes were somewhat splitting apart in two directions. It had no connection towards each other. A large amount of distance was filled between the two shapes. And so it didn't completely look like the heart but would seem a lot like it if the two little shapes were closed to each other a bit more. Will they ever attach to each other? (A/n: remember this information ^_^).

Goku looked away from it. He didn't know what that kind of shape was supposed to be called. He was forced to look back down at the ground. Looking at sky for too long, it caused him to feel dizzy.

"Goku", a voice spoke up causing Goku to turn around. Having his back facing the front door, he didn't notice that Chichi had been standing there behind him for a few split seconds. As she noticed his frowning face when he turned around, she looked at him with concern "What's wrong?" she asked slowly walked over to him. She sat down on the little steps not so far away from the doorway.

The frown on Goku's face was quickly replaced with his usual happy grin as he noticed Chichi. She was finally stepping out and not sticking inside the house for too long. "Oh, nothing's wrong", he said rubbing his head still grinning. Chichi smiled and motioned him to sit down next to her. When Goku sat down, he frowned again. Chichi looked at him with confusion, deciding to guess what was in his mind.

"Goku, are you bored?" she asked looking at him closely. Goku turned to her and simply nodded. "I guess only training and fighting would make you feel better huh?" she asked again with a little chuckle. Goku couldn't help but smiled back. She sure knew him well because most of the things Goku often talked about was training and fighting. Sometimes, it could drive Chichi insane with his constant chitchats. Somehow, that gave Chichi a little bit of effects. Always hearing about them gave her some kind of interests in fighting. However, at the moment, she wasn't in the mood of fighting. She wanted to save her energy for later this afternoon. She knew what she wanted to do and she hoped that Goku wouldn't get in the way.

Before Goku could suggest anything out of her, Chichi promptly gave him a different advice instead.

"Why don't you do your morning workout?"

"I've already done it", Goku replied.

"Do it again, I want to see" Chichi swiftly said. Goku smiled and did as told.

Chichi sat with her chin rested on her hand watching Goku doing his work. A sudden image came into her mind as she watched Goku breaking the rock into pieces. She remembered the same way the giant ape destroying buildings and everything surrounding it. She froze and turned away. She wasn't sure what she was supposed to think or feel at this moment. She was still afraid and wondered when was she going to get over it. Her mind was quite complex. Half of it wanted to be close to Goku and the other half was filled with fear and just wanted to get away from him. The two seemed to balance each other. If she hadn't come with Goku that day, may be she wouldn't have felt this way. It would be better if she didn't know anything about him. It really did change her a lot after that day. She knew it had engraved in her head and there was no way she could take it off her mind. If she was in love with him one day, she would be able to forget it but how could she be if she was still afraid like this. She used to think she did but that thought had already drifted away. Kiddy's feelings were easily altered if something happened to stop it developing. Chichi was in this case because her mind wasn't old enough and hadn't had enough knowledge to be able to keep them there forever. She could if she hadn't gone through all that.

Chichi was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't notice Goku had been staring at her with his confused looking face. "Chichi?" he called snapping her out of her stream of thoughts. She looked up at him with surprise. "What's wrong?" he asked. Chichi shook her head and looked away. He moved forward a little bit and looked at her with his cute puppy eyes. Chichi looked up and found herself blushing lightly.

"Goku, don't look at me like that"

"Then how am I supposed to look at you?" he asked innocently. Chichi managed a little titter at his innocent query. Just hearing that from him, she forgot about what was in her mind earlier and started to giggle at him. He smiled back and sat down on the ground in front of her. His stomach started to rumble which made both of them laugh.

"Well, I guess it's time to get you something to eat huh?" Chichi said as she stood up telling Goku to wait outside.

Later Chichi came out with a whole stack of food, which made Goku drool. Sitting down, Chichi told him it was better to eat outside. What she didn't tell Goku was that she didn't want to see Krillin. She was still angry with him for cheating on Goku.

After they finished eating, Goku started to complain of getting bored again. He wanted to train rather than having nothing to do around here. Chichi ignored him, as she wasn't sure what would make Goku less bored. She carelessly gave out a little suggestion to him, which she didn't think would work.

"Do what you think is the most favorable thing, Goku" Chichi said, turning her attention away from him. Goku shot up his eyebrows, as he knew what he wanted to do. As Chichi turned back to him, she gasped screaming out loud in fear and swiftly moved herself down to the ground to dodge the powerful punch Goku was attacking. She shot back up on her feet and looked at him angrily.

"Goku, what do you think you're doing?" Chichi yelled as she managed a light kick to the side of his neck. Goku blocked it and soon they both engaged into a long fight. Goku managed to answer her question during the fighting.

"Well, you said the most favorable thing. This is it" Goku replied happily

"Damn, I should have thought of that" Chichi said

"This is fun, Chichi", Goku yelled happily.

"Right" Chichi said sarcastically, "only fun for you, silly" Chichi yelled as she sped up her attacks. The fight was going on for a while and neither of them held back. But soon later Chichi started to feel a little tired because she didn't have enough sleep last night. It began to get harder for her to be able to block Goku but she could nonetheless.

"Goku, I can't keep up with this. I'm tired", as Goku heard it, he slowed down his attacks but didn't stop. He loved fighting this way. It was the only thing that could make him felt better. Getting a little impatient, Chichi knew there was nothing could stop him.

"Don't mind me if I'm going to fall asleep on you, Goku" Chichi joked thinking Goku might not like the idea. However, she forgot about the fact that he was too innocent to understand it.

"I won't mind" Goku said a little confused at her words.

"What?" Chichi said shockingly as she stopped moving immediately. Because she stopped so suddenly, Goku almost couldn't stop the attack in time. When his hand was right next to her face, Chichi closed her eyes as Goku quickly pulled it back. The way she had her eyes closed and slowly opened it again gave him a strange light shot of emotion arising inside, which Goku wasn't so sure what it was. He looked at her apologetically as she gave him a little glare. "Thanks a lot", she said turning away from him. Goku suddenly found it kind of cute when she was angry and turned her head sideways.

Giving her a simple `sorry', Goku tilted his head aside and looked at her. Chichi managed back a cute kiddy's smile as she turned around finding a spot to sit down. She walked over to a big tree not so far from the house and sat down leaning herself over it. Goku gave her a confused stare. She nodded at him in a way of telling him to come over and sat down with her.

Sitting down next to her, Goku gave out a small sigh of tiredness. Due to not getting enough sleep last night, Chichi soon closed her eyes and fell asleep next to Goku. Goku glanced at her and was surprised to see her already sleeping peacefully. `She's really asleep?' he thought with a smile. He turned away and looked around the island for a while. Suddenly, he felt a light pressure on his shoulder. Turning over to Chichi, he noticed she had unknowingly fallen asleep on his shoulder. Goku felt a sudden strange feeling shooting up inside him. It was quite complex to him. He had never had this kind of emotion before. Oh yes, he did but the first time was a lot lighter for Goku to get it sink into his mind. He remembered how he used to have this kind of weird feeling before. It was strange to him but he still remembered it.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chichi was standing right under the spot where Bulma had been picked up by Pilaf. Unfortunately for Chichi, Bulma was sent back in violent speed and unknowingly fell onto her making her collapsed on the floor. Chichi found herself unable to sit up due to the weight Bulma was putting on her small body.

"Nice catch, you guys" Bulma said angrily and quickly hopped off Chichi's body. Yamcha helped her up.

Chichi was lying on the ground and couldn't move. She struggled to sit up and kept falling down. She didn't blame Bulma for it. It was just an accident.

"I'm sorry Chichi" Bulma was about to check on Chichi but Yamcha stopped her and turned to Goku.

"Goku, help her up, will you?" Yamcha whispered to Goku

"I can't reach her, Bulma's in the way" Goku said innocently. Yamcha sighed, as he knew Goku didn't understand what he meant and signaled Bulma to get out of the way. Goku was confused why these two were so closed to Chichi but didn't want to help her. However, he quickly ran towards her and helped her up. When Chichi got up, she unexpectedly lost her balance and fell onto Goku, making him losing his balance at the same time and they both fell onto the ground. Chichi was on top of him. Neither of them moved for a while. Goku all of a sudden found something struck inside him and really didn't know what to do at that point. He had never been this closed towards her before. Chichi quickly sat up and looked away from him to hide her blushing face.

Goku sat up with his face filling with bewilderment and unexplainable emotion. He stared at her mystified. He didn't know what was really going on with him and why he was feeling that way. Since Chichi had turned away from him, she didn't notice his face was also turning into a very light pink. He soon turned into his usual smile again. He somehow felt weird why Chichi turned away from him. Yamcha couldn't help but chuckled at the two kids, but decided to leave Goku alone this time. He understood what was growing inside Goku. It was just the first step that Goku had to go through.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~End of flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*

Why did he blush? Is it because he was embarrassed in front of everyone around or because he liked her - the way Yamcha meant. Goku didn't think any of them was right. He didn't want to be so sure about it. He didn't know whether the `like' Yamcha had meant was supposed to feel like and whether this was the same feeling. He wanted to know about it in a clearer way before he could judge it that way. He didn't want to be bothered thinking about it but right now it seemed quite impossible not to. The feeling was bothering him, making him feel uncomfortable. He wanted to figure out what it was supposed to mean. He wasn't sure whether he liked it or not, not even sure what Chichi would think about this when she woke up. He never wanted Chichi to be upset at him about anything but he just couldn't predict what might happen next. The second feeling was always stronger than the first. The third would be stronger than the second. Where was it going to lead to?

Shrugging the weird emotion away, Goku turned and looked up at the sky as if it was the only way to throw away his emotion. He knew one day he would figure it out. Chichi wouldn't leave this quickly, would she? Looking up at the sky, again he saw the two shapes of the clouds on the sky before and wondered why it was still there and hadn't faded away. It was almost afternoon already - due to the fight between him and Chichi that took a lot longer than he expected. It was no wonder why Chichi became too tired and fell asleep. He found himself a little tired too but it wasn't too much as it was to Chi-chi. Looking up at the sky for too long also made him feel sleepy. Giving out a little yawn, he closed his eyes and fell asleep. Unconsciously, he leaned his head aside and soon he reclined his head over Chichi's head. (a/n: Tell me what you think of this scene)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Launch walked out of the house with a little water sprinkler in her hands. She intended to water the trees outside. Walking closer towards the tree, she stopped fast in her track as she spotted the two kids sleeping with their head leaning on each other. She giggled trying not to get too loud to disturb the two of them. It was the cutest thing she'd ever seen. She turned back to the house deciding to leave the two kids alone, not wanting to wake them up.

Walking inside, she couldn't stop herself from chuckling. Krillin looked at her with confusion, wondering what was going on. He walked towards the door and looked outside. His eyes were wide open as he noticed what he saw outside. He grinned, `Ha, spotted you Goku, I don't believe you two are just friends', he thought giving them an evil smirk and walked inside.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was afternoon and Goku was the first to wake up. Goku felt like he was leaning on something very soft and especially with a nice scent. Opening his eyes, he noticed his face burying in Chichi's hair. Something just made him want to stay still and didn't want to wake up. Suddenly, it hit him as he noticed what he was doing. He moved his head up quickly and looked down at Chichi. He had fallen asleep on her head and didn't know. He didn't know whether it was the right thing to do, but what he surely knew in him was that he liked it to lean himself on her head like this. It was soft and he felt like he was lying on a pillow. He tilted his head down to look at her, wondering if she was awake yet. To Goku's surprise, she was still asleep. What made her become so tired? Was it because his attacks earlier were too strong? He knew that couldn't be right. He smiled and lightly leaned back down on her head and didn't want to wake up at all. He moved his head a little bit on her head inhaling the cool scent on her hair.

As Goku felt her moving, he quickly moved his head away from her. She was sleeping so peacefully and he didn't want to be the one that woke her up. However, she already woke up. Chichi moved her head on her side and wiped her eyes. She gave a small sigh. Suddenly, something hit her mind as she realized what she had been doing. She turned and looked at Goku who was still staring at her with bewilderment. Giving him an apologetic look, Chichi managed a little smile. She had known him long enough to know that he had no feelings or knowledge about anything like this. It was hard for her to choose whether she should continue to like Goku. The feeling just kept bothering her. For a moment, Chichi had a feeling that if she hadn't been with him like this all the time, she could control her feelings better. What Chichi didn't know was that Goku right now had to deal with feelings instead of knowledge.

Shrugging the thoughts away, she turned towards Goku who hadn't gotten his attention away from her yet. He seemed to be trying to figure out something that Chichi wasn't sure what. She smiled timidly and told him that it was time to go inside. They both stood up wiping the dirt away from them and walked inside.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

As they reached the front door, Krillin walked out still having that smirk on his face. Chichi shot him a dead glare. She turned towards Goku telling him to go inside himself and never walked out until she wanted him to. Goku looked at her confused, wondering why she wanted him to do that. Nevertheless, he did as told.

When Krillin noticed the angry look on her face, he wondered what was wrong with her, "What?" he asked with confusion

Calming herself down a little bit, she managed to speak up in somewhat angry tone, "Shame on you for cheating on Goku. Do you know it wasn't fair? You got to find that stone yourself rather than cheating on people. It's not right"

"Well, it's none of your business"

"What? Goku is my friend and I'm not going to let him being put down like that. It's a shame that you still don't know your fault. You should say sorry to Goku"

"Friend? Right" Krillin said sarcastically, "I guess he's more than just a friend to you", he teased.

"Get into the topic" Chichi said getting impatient.

"And besides, why should I be sorry?"

Hearing those words, it just made Chichi become impatient and angrier, "Well, then you got to deal with me first" Chichi yelled standing in a fighting stance. As Krillin noticed it, he smirked thinking she was quite crazy trying to challenge him. She was just a girl. She could never beat him, but could he be wrong?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Goku walked inside and saw Launch standing by the fridge smiling at him. He grinned back at her puzzled not so sure why she looked so happy today. Launch looked at the boy with amusement, "Having fun today, Goku?" Launch asked. Goku simply smiled and nodded.

Looking at Goku's childish nature, just then Launch came up with something that she thought Goku should know. It was quite interesting to her and she knew that Goku wouldn't know the answer.

"Goku, if one day Chichi is mad at you, what do you think you would do?" Goku looked up a little startled with what she just asked. Good question, Goku wouldn't know what to do if that happened. He looked back at Launch and didn't know what to say.

"I don't know, what do you think I should do? You are a girl, you should know right?" Goku asked scratching his head with a sheepish smile. Launch knew this was what he would ask. She giggled at him.

"Why do you want to know?" she teased. Goku was silent and just smiled childishly with his hand at the back of his head. "Alright, if you really want to know, I'll tell you what really makes a girl like Chichi happy" Launch chuckled, knowing what Chichi really felt about Goku. She moved over to Goku and whispered something in his ears. As Goku listened to the whole thing she was saying, his eyes opened widely, wondering why it seemed so easy to do.

"Well, that's not hard, I can say that" Goku smiled

"You don't know until you face it, Goku, it's not easy" Launch said ad she reached over to the cupboard and brought out a small basket. Inside, there were lollies that were made up of different shapes. She took some and handed to Goku telling him to give them to each of Krillin and Chichi.

As Goku had left, Launch stared out at him. She wasn't sure if Goku was able to follow what she told him. What she was telling him was very simple. They were simply what little kids would say to make their friends happy. However, would Goku be able to remember them when things happened the way he never really expected? It wouldn't be as easy as it seemed to be - especially to Goku.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Walking outside the house with an intention to give his friends the lollies from Launch. When he noticed Krillin and Chichi was fighting, he got kind of excited but frowned because they didn't let him know.

"Hey guys, you two are fighting and didn't let me join" Goku grinned.

"Get out of this, Goku", Chichi yelled angrily. Goku stopped walking and looked puzzled, not knowing why Chichi suddenly sounded so angry. Then, it hit him. He realized that they weren't fighting for fun but they were actually fighting on purposes.

"Hey, why are you two fighting? What's going on?" Goku ran over towards the two fighting figures.

Chichi blocked the punch from Krillin and kicked him on the side of his waist sending him flying towards the tree not so far behind. Krillin stood up and quickly started another attack. Just as Chichi ran over and was only about one meter away from him, she felt something stopped her from moving. Glancing aside, she noticed that Goku had held one of her arms and pulled her back, making her unable to move. "What happened?" he asked. What Goku didn't know was that he shouldn't stop her that way. Chichi completely lost her balance and unable to move. Krillin on the other side didn't know Goku was coming and stopping Chichi like that. Because she stopped moving so quickly that he couldn't stop his movement in time. As a result, he got punching-hand hit into Chichi's face sending her move backwards a meter away. It happened so quickly that even Goku couldn't stop it in time.

"Chichi" Goku yelled as he ran over to her. Krillin looked at his hand worriedly. He really didn't mean to hit Chichi that hard. He thought she would be able to dodge it but all of a sudden, Goku appeared from nowhere and stopped her like that.

"Oh no Chichi, it's Goku's fault, not mine" He said apologetically.

Chichi looked at Goku angrily. It seemed to her that Goku was only supporting Krillin instead of her and that made her felt bad. She shook her head unbelievably. Somehow she didn't blame Krillin for it because she knew it really wasn't his fault. As Goku ran over to her, she pulled away from him furiously.

"Go away Goku, I don't want to see you again" Chichi said as she stood up and ran away.

"Chichi", he called for her but didn't know what to do. He was too afraid to know anything now. "Why is she so upset?", Goku asked himself as he looked down.

"Goku, you shouldn't have stopped her that way" Krillin said

"But you two…" Goku said but was stopped by Krillin

"We're only fighting for fun"

"Really?"

"Well, actually…" Krillin said as he began to recall what happened.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Well you give up?" Chichi asked. "You can't beat me, Krillin, accept it", Chichi said laughing lightly. Krillin was on the ground breathing out heavily. They had been fighting for a while and he had to admit that he couldn't beat her.

"Wow, who taught you all this, Chichi? We haven't even started the training yet. You seem so weak but you're not" Krillin said

"Well, my dad was also trained under master Roshi. He trained me a while ago but because I never fight much, so I looked very weak to everyone" Chichi said. He smiled and began to say sorry to Chichi. "Well, you don't have to say sorry to me, it's Goku who you should say sorry to" One thing is Chichi always would calm down very quickly when people are doing what she wanted them to. She smiled and extended a hand out to help Krillin up. She told him how well he was doing and that he should never put himself down like he had. The thing is Krillin was always a coward whenever he thought someone was stronger than him.

"Can we fight again?" He asked. He did learn a lot from Chichi's moves and he found it quite interesting to fight with her.

"You're not afraid I'll beat you up?" She laughed. Giving her a simple `no', they soon started a new fight again.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~End of flashback*~*~*~*~*~*

"Well, that's the whole story Goku. Actually she was just fighting for you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been fighting in the beginning." Krillin finished.

After hearing all that, Goku felt completely guilty about what just happened. He started to feel he needed to talk to Chichi. He should have thought about it first before doing it. He looked down sadly not knowing what to do.

"So I'm sorry about what I did yesterday" Krillin finally apologized to Goku but this really didn't matter to Goku anymore. This wasn't what he wanted to hear at the moment. What he really wanted to know was what he could do to make Chichi happier now. He had completely forgotten what Launch had told him. He was too afraid to remember anything now. Looking down at his hand, he noticed the lollies. He handed the Krillin one of them and kept the last two. Without saying another word to Krillin, Goku turned around and ran towards the direction Chichi had approached to.

Krillin looked at his hand anxiously. He had told himself never hit a girl but he just did. He found himself a little guilty as he thought that it was also part of his fault. He should have seen Goku approaching earlier. Oh well, now he wondered what Goku was going to say to Chichi. Can he make it?

To be continued
