Chi Chi's Inner Power

[G O K U]

Chi Chi was always at home cooking, cleaning, and of course yelling at Goku. Well, it may have taken years to figure out, but Goku finally realized why she was yelling at him. She was worried about him and their children all the time because of the simple fact that Goku and Gohan would always risk their lives. Well, Goku thought that maybe if he helped Chi Chi further her training and show her how to release her inner power then just maybe she wont be yelling as much and she will be able to do what she feels she needs to do whenever the time comes.

Goku had just arrived home from training when he opened the door and entered his home. "Mmmm, what's that smell?" he asked happily as he began to drool because the smell of the food made him so hungry. "Are those rib's? Alright! Today's my lucky day!" he said as he set down on the table waiting for his food. He looked at his wife Chi Chi and seen that she wasn't happy. She was sad for some reason.

He got up from the table and just simply put his arms around her hips. "Everything's gonna be ok! I have a suprise for you, I will show you after dinner!" he then quickly kissed her lips. "I can't tell you that I'm going to help you further your training because it's a suprise!" he said happily. A few seconds later he realized that he accidentally blurted it out. "Um...whoops! I'm sorry, pretend you didn't hear that!" he said as his face started to get red.

[Chi-Chi]

Today was a usual day for her. Goku and Gohan were out training. In the morning while they were gone, she would do some of her own exercises and training, but she did not let them know of her secret. Her outfit consisted of her blue gi and her hair was let loose. She sighed as she had to cook and clean as they were her daily chores. She hated doing things that were boring to her. How come Goku or Gohan didn’t cook for her?

This was the question she always had on her mind. How would it have been different if she had kept fighting? She would have likely been like Tien and Yamcha or even Krillin. She too missed going on adventures like she had done in the past. Ever since she had Gohan she had let her dreams slip away. It’s not like she resented having Gohan. He was a very smart boy, but she too wanted to have fun.

While she was thinking, Goku walked in with his normal routine. He liked the smell of the food, which he better. She let out a sad sigh as he came and showed her some affection. She did not return it, however, because she was some what annoyed with him. He always had the fun while she did not. She thought it would be fair if they traded places for one day. Conversely, that would never happen.

Then he mentioned he had a surprise for her. This was strange. He rarely thought about her needs or anything like that. She got curious and started to place the food on the table.

“What is the surprise Goku? You didn’t start studying yourself did you?” She made a presumption as if that were the case. She put on a smile being somewhat amused of her joke.

[G O K U]

Goku sat back down and looked at the food and then back at Chi Chi. "Yes, I did start studying!" he said honestly. "I started studying you, and I noticed that you were sad lately, and I realized that I haven't been a good husband lately, sure it took me years and years, but now I want to make it up to you!" he said with a smile.

"I'm also glad you don't have your hair up in a bun, because you look more beautiful the way you are right now than ever! So, from now on...I'm taking charge like I'm supposed to! I'm going to do some cooking for you, I just hope I don't burn the food! Um, and everyday I will take you out to further your training! It all begins today!" he said as he looked into the eyes of his beautiful wife. "I'm going to help you bring out your inner power! So, after today you will know how to fly and you will be able to use powers like me and the others do! I think it's about time that I start paying attention to you more!...I love you!"

It was a romantic moment, for Goku was being sweet, loving, kind, and was taking charge for once. However, two seconds later he went back to same old Goku by bringing up food again. "Anyway, let's eat!" he said as he shoved the ribs in his mouth with his fork. "Oh boy, those ribs were great! I'm gonna go get me another plate!" he said joyfully. He went and got him another plate and then sat back down and began eating again. "We'll start all of this after we eat. ok Chi Chi?"

[Chi-Chi]

The food was set on the table, and then she sat down and began to place some bits of it on her plate. She watched as Goku ate his food. It made her proud that she could provide a saiyan stomach with the amount of food he needed. However, it did make her sad that she was the one always cooking. Every bite of her food made her realize how much she had missed during her lifetime as a mother. She truly missed training fully for tournaments and participating.

Goku did a joke of his own about how he had studied. However, it wasn’t what she expected. He had studied her. This seemed to be a romantic moment or his way of showing he cared. How did he know she was sad? She never expected him to notice those things. A twinkle in her black orbed eyes appeared because she was truly sad. Then as he continued to speak he had unveiled his surprise. Slowly, a smile crept on her face as if her wish had come true.

“R..r…really? Are you serious ?” She couldn’t believe it. From this day forward, she would be a Z fighter like Krillin and Yamcha. He would do all the cleaning and cooking. She would have free time to herself. Her training would be continued, and she could go on the adventures that she wanted to go on. When Goku mentioned that he loved her, she gave him a cute nod with her head to acknowledge that she too had cared for him.

The moment didn’t last long though. He went back to his food. However, she stopped eating and got out of the chair.

“I’m not really hungry. I’ll meet you outside when you‘re done.” With that said, she walked out the door to get started on stretching and getting back into the groove.

[G O K U]

"Yes, I'm serious! But I better warn you, the only think I know how to cook is fish so we are going to be eating fish every night!" he said with a smile. He watched as he seen that she didn't want to eat, she was too happy to eat. He expected a kiss and a hug but didn't even get that, she must have been too excited that she forgot all about it. It didn't matter, he was just happy to see a smile on her face for once. It's been a long time since she's been happy,

Goku ate his food and then stretched. He put his plate up and then he walked out the door to find Chi Chi was stretching, and getting ready. "Wow, don't let me stop you!" he said laughing as he looked at his wife while she stretched. It looked as if she was preparing for the training that Goku was going to put her through. "Ok, Chi Chi! First things first, you need to learn how to fly. He helped her sit down and then put his arms around her and grabbed her hands. "Ok, here's what your gonna need to do! Focus at your hands, keep eye contact on them, if you lose it then we'll have to start all over! Focusing on the Ki that forms in your hands can be incorporated into flight!" he said smiling. It actually felt good to be doing this with his wife, for it gave him a chance to spend time with her, but it also made her not want to yell anymore.

[Chi-Chi]

She didn’t mind eating fish. As long as she got to train, that is all that mattered. The stretching helped limber her muscles. She expected Goku to take awhile to eat. Though she trained on her own while Goku and Gohan were away, she never trained with them. She did not know what to expect. The one thing she did know though was the fact that Goku was a great teacher. How could he not be? He had won the tournament against Piccolo. If he could fight as well as he could, then there was no telling how good of a teacher he was. She had trained with Ox King so she expected the training to be somewhat harder than what her father had put her though.

A few minutes later Goku came out. He looked like he was ready for the training to commence as well. He watched her stretch and warm up. The training would start as soon as she stopped stretching. Once she was done, Goku helped her sit on the ground. His big arms wrapped around her to grasp her hands. This position made her feel small, but she was not intimidated. Goku was going to teach her how to focus her ki. She already knew what Ki was from her father Ox King. However, she never learned how to channel it.

“I can’t believe I’m going to learn how to fly! I can’t wait. Okay, all I have to do is focus. ” She nodded and then her eyebrows were brought together to show that she was focusing. Her muscles tensed up, but at the same time were relaxed. Her hands cupped together and then she started to concentrate on her inner power. While she concentrated, she inhaled and exhaled slowly. This was the first time that she was channeling her inner power so it was hard.

Slowly, but surely a small energy started to appear in her hands. It turned off and on as it was the first time it had come out. She continued to inhale and exhale deeply. Then the energy was in her hands. She could feel its warmth. However, she did not know what to do next with it. Her head turned a bit to look for advice from Goku.

“I did it! What do I do now?” While she spoke, she held the energy in her cupped hands like a gentle baby. She was afraid she may lose it. Her focus was at its peak.

[G O K U]

"Great, Chi Chi! Now, you need to make sure that you are completely calm! Keep focusing, don't let your eye contact move away from it!" he said as he watched her focus on the ball of energy. "Now, what you are going to do now is, you're going to incorporate that into flight. So in a moment you will notice that you can fly, but even though you can fly you will need to learn how to master it, which means when you fly, take your time with it. When you master it you will be able to go at tremendous speeds.

"Ok, Chi Chi! Let's see what you got! Remember, when you fly, don't just automatically go to your full speed, you could lose balance, especially since you haven't mastered it yet, so take it so for now! I want to see you fly, nice and slow!" he said smiling. He knew that his wife would do a great job, because she was not only a good listener, but she was also a fast learner. He was proud of his wife, for she was doing all of the right things all at the right times. Most people probably would have listened to Goku but would have most likely made a mistake somewhere along the lines, but Chi Chi hasn't made a mistake yet. Either way, he was still going to be patient with her because he knew that it wouldn't be right to just rush into things right off the bat.

[Chi-Chi]

With proper instruction, she managed to keep the energy in her hands. Her eyes glanced at the energy with awe. She was surprised that she had such an inner power. Perhaps that is where Gohan had got his inner power. It was amazing what she could do. This gave her more confidence than ever before. Now she continued to listen to Goku. What she had to do was focus the energy into flight. How could she do that ? She thought and then got an idea to transfer the energy to her body.

Her eyes focused on the energy. Goku could see how much she was concentrating. Her hair flowed in the wind from the energy that was dispersing from her body. She made a small grunt sound because it was becoming hard to control. However, she continued to breath in and out to let the energy flow throughout her body. It started to spread through her arms and legs. Then she felt her feet start to slowly float off the ground.

“I’m floating Goku!“ She said in a happy tone. It was something she had never felt before. Her feet were a few inches off the ground. She glanced at Goku for some guidance. The energy was hard to control at first, but after awhile she started to become accustomed to it.
