Matchmaker from hell pt.5

Vegeta flew blindly through the sky hoping he wasn’t to late. Worry attacked his every nerve… ever since his last meeting with ChiChi. He had left her broken. And he knew it. He increased his speed and came in sight of the house. He hardly landed before he started to run towards the front door. His hand reached the knob and came to rest on it. Vegeta took in a sharp breath and tried it.

It was locked. Vegeta cursed and pounded on the door. “Dammit! Open the door!” He screamed. He narrowed his eyes in fury when there was no response and blew it off its hinges with a ki blast.

He stepped past the smoking door on the floor and looked around for ChiChi.

‘Where are you…?’ Vegeta suddenly whipped his head in the direction of the stairs. She was up there. Without out a second thought he ran up the stairs and looked at the various doors. His gaze fell upon the door at the end of the hall. He ran towards it to see that it too, was locked. He cursed and broke the knob off the door and threw it open. His eyes widened with horror.

ChiChi stood at the open window her hair billowing from the wind, with a knife raised high above her head. Her face held no remorse, no pain, and no emotion.

“NO!!!” Vegeta screamed as he lunged for her. ChiChi acted as if no one were there and swung it over her head aiming for her mid-section.

Before the blade met its target ChiChi felt something slam into her side throwing her off her feet and knocking the knife out of her hands. She watched it go sailing across the room and landing on her bed. Vegeta knocked ChiChi over to the ground falling on top of her.

“ARE YOU CRAZY!?” He screamed at her. ChiChi looked up at him, her face expressionless.

Vegeta’s ragged breathing came back to normal as he looked ChiChi in the face.

His eyes suddenly widened with shock when ChiChi shoved him off and scrambled to her feet. For a moment Vegeta lay there stunned, but then lunged for ChiChi grabbing her foot. She tripped and fell to the ground again. “Let me go!” She shrieked as she struggled to get away. She suddenly reared her foot back nearly kicking him in the face. She pulled away and ran to the bed throwing the covers off in a desperate attempt to find the knife. She grabbed and again raised it above her head. Vegeta swore under his breath and rammed himself into her again knocking the knife from her hands. It fell to the ground as both of them dove after it. ChiChi grabbed it first but only to have it being pulled from her hands. Vegeta snarled and swiped at the knife.

“GET AWAY FROM ME!!!” ChiChi screamed as she kicked at him. Vegeta caught her wrist as they both went rolling across the floor wrestling for the knife. He was surprised at the amount of strength ChiChi possessed… but none of which was a match for a Saiyan. He finally managed to wrench it away from her. He threw it up in the air and thrust his hand out.

ChiChi watched it go sailing and let out a cry of anguish as Vegeta reduced it to nothing but a black pile of dust on the floor. “Stop this! Please stop! Just let me be!” ChiChi cried. Vegeta grabbed her off the floor and heaved her against the wall pinning her. ChiChi stared at him, her lip quivering as tears of anguish trailed down her face. Vegeta’s breathing came out in short gasps as he continued to bore into ChiChi with his eyes. ChiChi closed her eyes as the tears stopped flowing.

“Why are you here…? To stop me from ending my torment? Why…? Kami why…?” ChiChi whispered. Vegeta’s eyes widened as his grip loosened. He took a step back as if she had just struck him. “End this… please end this…”

Vegeta just looked at her, not knowing what to say.

ChiChi opened her eyes and stared at him. “Why don’t you do it…?” She murmured.

“Why don’t you just end my life? You left me like this so you might as well end it… so do it already…kill me.” Vegeta’s head snapped up in shock.

“W-what…?”

“You heard me!” ChiChi said almost shouting. “Just do it! I’m right here!” ChiChi suddenly came forward and grabbed his hand and put it to her heart. Vegeta just looked at her in shock. His face mixed in a blur of emotions.

“Right here…” ChiChi whispered. “Do to me what you did over there.” She beckoned to the pile of dust of what used to be a knife.

“One blast should do it… do it Vegeta… kill me.”

The sound of silence pierced the air nearly deafening the Saiyan. ChiChi swallowed and waited, her grip tightening on his wrist.

She suddenly let go, leaving his hand pointed to her heart. Vegeta’s outstretched arm quivered for a moment and then started to fall. ChiChi looked at him her eyes shining with tears.

Vegeta let his arm fall to his side as he turned around, his breathing coming out raggedly.

“You’re going to leave me again aren’t you…?” ChiChi whispered with a hint of laughter in her voice. “You’re going to leave me to finish myself BY myself…” ChiChi laughed out loud.

“Fine!” She took a step forward when Vegeta whirled around and slapped her hard across the face. ChiChi stumbled backwards stunned. Her head snapped to the side as a red imprint began to form on her face. Her quivering hand reached up but stopped halfway. She glanced at him again her face stinging. He looked torn up in anger, pain and sadness.

“Do it again.” She whispered. “But do it hard enough to kill me.”

Vegeta breathed heavily as if he had just been through battle.

“Come on…” ChiChi urged. “Put me out of my misery! Put me out of your life!” She yelled. Vegeta couldn’t take it anymore. He rushed forward with a cry of anger and shoved ChiChi up against the wall by her shoulders.

“SHUT UP!!!” He screamed. ChiChi was so surprised that she just stared with her eyes wide.

“Why…are you doing this…?” He asked slowly. ChiChi blinked. “Why shouldn’t I!?” She shrieked.

“You left me! YOU LEFT ME DAMMIT!!!”

Vegeta held back the urge to slap her again. Her chest heaved as tears flowed down her face.

His grip slowly loosened as he finally released her. He looked down in silence.

When he looked up again he stared ChiChi right in the eye.

“I’m sorry…”

**********

Gohan and Krillan walked through the woods looking for Piccolo. “I wonder why dad is acting so strange…” Gohan said. “I don’t know Gohan…maybe we should go to Kami. Something is seriously wrong here. I mean an apple wouldn’t last for more than three seconds if Goku had a hold of it, it would be in his stomach before- “Wait Krillan!” Gohan exclaimed. “That’s a great idea!”

“What?” Gohan grinned. “What does my dad like more than battle, life, and probably his own family?” They both grinned at each other.

“EATING!” Piccolo suddenly burst through the trees, his clothes torn to shreds and his eyes full of panic. Before Krillan could say a word he was lifted off his feet and was being shaken like a rag doll. “KRILLAN! IT’S CHOW-SU! I THINK HE HAS THE HOTS FOR ME!” Piccolo shrieked. “Piccolo! Calm down!” Gohan yelled. Piccolo dropped Krillan to the floor that had stars in his eyes.

Piccolo’s eyes darted around nervously. “Please Gohan…” He pleaded falling to his knees. “Don’t let him get me.” Krillan managed to get off the ground. He shook his head and slapped himself a few times. “Geez Piccolo… What’s wrong?”

“It’s Chow-su! He’s after me! I-I don’t know what’s wrong! We were standing there acting all normal when he suddenly went hay wire on me started to act… gay…” Krillan’s eyes widened.

“Oh… I think I’m gonna be sick…” Piccolo said as he brought his hand to his bulging cheeks.

Tien suddenly came through the bushes, covered with twigs and leaves.

“Hey guys! I was looking all over the place for you! Hey, where’s Chow-su?”

As if on cue Chow-su burst from the thicket. “Oh Piccolo!!! Here I am!!!” He sang.

Piccolo yelped and dove behind Gohan. “Help me…” He whimpered.

“Chow-su! What do you think you’re doing!?” Tien exclaimed. Chow-su glanced at Tien.

“I’m going after my little cutey-patooty, dearest darling, hippity hoppity, Piccolo!” He said joyfully.

Krillan and Gohan sweat-dropped and backed away from Chow-su. Tien stared at Chow-su for a moment when his bottom lip suddenly started to tremble. Tears suddenly sprang from his eyes in buckets as he started to bawl like a baby. “WHAT THE HELL!?!” Krillan and Gohan screamed.

“Chow-su! How could you!?” Tien cried. Chow-su ‘hmphed.’ “I’m sorry Tien but I don’t love you anymore.” Piccolo peeked from behind Gohan and stared in shock.

“But Chow-su! You promised you’d never leave me!!!” Tien said sobbing. Chow-su shrugged and waved to Piccolo, giggling. Piccolo yelped and hid behind Gohan again. “And what about this!” Tien screamed thrusting his left wedding finger out. A wedding band sparkled around it.

“Where did that come from…?” Gohan whispered to Krillan. “I really don’t wanna know…” He said back. “I want a divorce then, Tien.” He said simply.

“No Chow-su…” He said with a strange look in his eyes. “I can’t let you do that…”

“Humph! And why not?” Chow-su said angrily. “Because I won’t let you…” Chow-su’s eyes widened as he stepped backwards. “N-no Tien! You can’t do that to me anymore! I’m my own man now!” Krillan, Gohan, and Piccolo slowly backed out without getting noticed. They backed away until Chow-su and Tien disappeared from their sight. They suddenly heard a terrified shriek come from Chow-su. “N-no Tien! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!”

The three promptly ran out of the woods.

Gohan stopped and put his hands on his knees panting for breath. “That was disturbing.” Piccolo said sighing. “Hey look! It’s Goku!” Krillan shouted as he pointed to a large boulder perched at the tip of a cliff. The trio flew to him.

“You’re right Lucy. I should apologize to Gohan and Krillan.” Goku mumbled to the apple.

“Dad!” Gohan yelled. Goku hopped off his perch and turned around with a guilty look on his face.

“Me and Lucy are sorry.” He mumbled. “Er…um…apology accepted.” Gohan said quickly. Goku’s usual grin returned. “Dad…” Gohan said slyly. “You like to eat apples right? In fact, you love the sweet taste don’t you?” Krillan and Piccolo caught on to what Gohan was getting at and nodded.

Goku, being the thick- headed man that he was nodded happily.

Gohan smiled deviously. “You sure would like to eat one right about now, right?”

“Sure Gohan! Do you have one?”

“I don’t have one right now dad, but you do.” Goku looked around with a bewildered look on his face. “Where Gohan?”

“It’s red, shiny, delicious and healthy and it’s sitting in your hands.”

Goku looked down and stared at his beloved ‘Lucy.’

His eyes glazed over as he stared at it. The corners of his mouth twitched as his eyes continued to bore into the fruit. “I think it’s working!” Krillan whispered to Piccolo. “You’re hungry aren’t you dad?” Gohan asked. Goku nodded as he licked his lips. “Take a bite out of it.” Gohan urged. “Go ahead.” “B-but Lucy-“Lucy won’t mind!” Gohan said interrupting Goku. Piccolo and Krillan held their breaths. Goku suddenly made a weird sound that was a mix between a rabid dog and a squeal of a child. He bit the apple again and again until there was nothing left but a core. Krillan and Gohan cried out in joy. Goku’s eyes suddenly went back to normal and he stared at the core in his hands.

With a cry of anguish he fell to his knees and cradled the apple core.

“NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LUCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Goku wailed. He hunched over it as tears began to fall from his eyes. Krillan, Gohan, and Piccolo stared in regret.

“I KILLED HER!!!!!! I KILLED MY LUCY!!!!!!!! I’M A CANNONBALL!!!!!!!!!” Goku screamed. “That’s cannibal Goku.” Krillan said sheepishly.

“OH FOR THE LOVE OF KAMI!!!!!!!! I KILLED MY LUCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Goku sobbed hysterically over the mutilated remains of his love.

Goku whimpered as he cradled and stroked the apple core rocking back and forth.

“Dad…” Gohan said taking a cautious step forward. “It’ll be all right. Just come back to mom and me okay…? And everything will be all right.” Goku shook his head shakily as he continued to whimper. “I have to be alone with my Lucy now…” He murmured. The three exchanged looks and slowly backed off.

The pixie fluttered around giggling crazily. “Oh this is so much fun!” It squealed.

It flew about and pulled a stopwatch out of its pocket. “Hmmm…. I have two more days until Cupid comes back… I’d better make the best of it!” It said as it flew off.

note: Heh heh… I meant for this one to be the twist chapter. If you read this then please review. I have no idea what I should do for ChiChi and Vegeta. I’m totally stuck. I need help. Please give me a few ideas. Anyway someone e-mailed me and told me I was completely insane for pairing ChiChi and Vegeta. Oh… what would you have done if I paired Vegeta and eighteen…? Ooohh… a ruthless, beautiful but deadly, femme fatal of a she android with a bloodthirsty, cocky-ass prince of a Saiyan… now THAT would be interesting….
