Goku's eyebrows curled in confusion as he sensed the presence of someone nearing quickly. He jumped up when he heard something faint coming closer. Goku watched the shadow of a screaming person fall with the water. The scream was cut short as the waters below swallowed up the person. Goku flew out of the waterfall and hovered over the water searching for the person. A cough was heard in the distance and Goku moved his gaze towards the sound to see a young woman barely climb out of the water before she collapsed. She remained motionless as Goku zoomed over to her and checked her out. She was still alive but barely. He picked her drenched and cold body up in his arms and flew her to an open area where he, still holding her, pulled out a capsule. Goku tossed it and watched it explode into a house where he quickly entered, the woman's limp body still in his arms. He went quickly to the bedroom and set her gently down on the bed. Goku wasted no time taking her clothes off. He quickly tossed them to the floor and then ran off to fetch the aid-kit. After Goku cleansed and wrapped her wounds he pulled the blanket over her and turned the light out as he closed the door slowly behind him.

Chi Chi's eyes burst open as she quickly sat up breathing heavily as the moon glistened off the cold sweat on her forehead. She went to clutch at her shirt but soon noticed that she had been stripped of her clothing and was only wrapped in a blanket and sheet. "What the?" Chi Chi looked around the unfamiliar room and quickly stood, not forgetting to wrap the thin sheet around her naked body. She tip-toed to the door silently and opened it a crack to see if anyone was there. The room was dark and it didn't seem like anyone was there so Chi Chi silently glided her way to the door. She made it to the door and sighed in relief as she grabbed onto the door knob and began turning it silently.

Goku opened his eyes from the sound of her sigh and quietly got off the couch and made his way over to the woman. 'Where's she going?' He silently crept up behind her, inch by inch until he was inches away from her.

Chi Chi's happiness soon faded when she realized a shadowed figure moving closer towards her from behind. She saw clearly it was a strong well built man, even though it was a doorknob reflection, it was enough to say she was in trouble. She could almost feel his breath on her neck and shivered in fear, her hand still on the knob.

Goku leaned foward and softly whispered, "Hey there-Whoa!"

Chi Chi spun into a high kick towards the invader's face but was soon caught in his strong hand.

Goku held the womans bare leg up beside his face but didn't have time to react when she backslapped him in the same fluid motion her kick was in. He let go of her leg to carress his face. "Hey now! That hurt-Agghh!"

Chi Chi jumped toward him and swung her fists of fury. He blocked and dodged them which infuriated her ever the more. She watched him back up and she quickly ran at. Chi Chi jumped into the air and did a spiral kick towards him but he dodged it as well. She landed not facing him and quickly spun with her elbow out. The man caught her elbow and spun her around to face him, but without hesitation she threw her other fist like a quick reflex. He caught it as well. Chi Chi now had both her hands in his grasp. She couldn't allow herself to lose and with that she uppercutted him with a powerful high kick. She watched him stumble back and then trip over onto the couch. Chi Chi quickly ran to the door, yanked it open and ran for her life.

Goku quickly hopped off the couch and ran after her, but he hadn't even made it five feet out of the door when he saw the woman grab her side and collapse to the ground in the midst of her run. He quickly ran over to her to see her whimpering and trying to crawl away from him. He could see the pain in her eyes and held his hand out to her, "I'm not going to hurt you."

Chi Chi looked up at him in confusion, but the pain overwhelmed her too much. 'How can I trust you?' Yet, she weakly grabbed onto his hand and pulled herself up. She began to walk back but the pain shot through her veins like fire causing her knees to give out like before.

Goku quickly grabbed the woman around the waist and slipped a hand behind her knees. He then lifter her into his arms and carried her the rest of the way. He could hear her hiss in pain against his chest as she dug her nails into his arm from the pain. Goku shut the door behind him with his foot and then gently laid her onto the couch.

Chi Chi watched the young man walk off and then return with a bowl of some blue substance and a cup of tea. He then reached down to remove her sheet but Chi Chi quickly grabbed it and held it tightly to her body. "What are you doing? How dare you!"

"I'm going to relieve the pain and check the wound." Goku replied honestly. He saw the woman calm down from her defensive state and then again, slowly reached and pulled the sheet off her. Goku blushed a little as he undressed the wound. The gash on the woman's side looked better, but that wasn't saying much.

Chi Chi looked down and gasped at the wound. 'That bad?!' "OWW!!!" Chi Chi's body jolted up but the man put his hand on her abdomen and held her down firmly as he applied the blue substance. Chi Chi's legs kicked at the couch and air. The stinging went away and was replaced by a burning sensation that swept through the whole wound making her struggle as the pain slowly faded. She suddenly felt a warmth surround her wound, not painful, but relaxing and soothing. She looked down to see the man holding his hand over the gash. His hand was glowing and she could feel the warmth begin to spread through her entire body, completely relaxing her. When the pain faded, the man handed her the cup of tea.

"Drink this, it'll stop the pain and help it heal faster." Goku handed the woman the tea and watched her gulp it down slowly. She handed it back empty and he grabbed the bowl. He carried the items back to the kitchen and then returned to see the yound woman sleeping, an arm hanging over the side. He picked her up and carried her to the bed where he set her down and tucked her in. Then Goku shut the lights off and went to the couch to get some well-needed sleep.
