"Why Didn't I Destroy You?" [Goku/Closed]

[Android 18]

Flying through the clouds as she headed for the Son household, Android Eighteen had many things on her mind. Something within her sure was acting up; the humans would suggest that she had heartburn, but she knew that this was a sensation none of them had ever felt. This feeling only reared when she was within close proximity to Goku. It never really went away - if she was far away from him, the sensation bothered her less. But as she bee-lined for the Earth's protector, it tore at her core buried deep into her chest.

A T-Rex look up at her and growled before going about its search for food. She bothered not to look its way and entertain its bestial intellect. A few seconds later, she'd be heading down feet first for the front step of Goku's house.

She took a deep breath, inhaling slowly and exhaling with swiftness. "Well, better get this over with." She knocked on the door twice, rapping with taps soft enough as to not knock the barrier from its hinges. 18 knew she'd never hear the end of it from Chi Chi if she did. And now, she'd simply wait for the defeater of Freiza, Cell and Majin Buu himself to step out of the quaint little home and answer her.

It was another peaceful day in Mt. Paozu. The sun was shining, there were no grey clouds in the area, birds and pterodactyls flew up in the sky happily going about their business, while other animals hunted or lounged around, caring for their young. Yes, it was an environment that Earth's greatest protector loved more than anything. It was quiet and peaceful..something he enjoyed more than training.

Of course...speaking of training, he was out towards the back of the house practicing his martial arts. One had to stay on top at all times ya know. Chi Chi had gone to the market..and well...Goten was off somewhere. Either with Trunks or out on a date. Either way, he had the house to himself. A kick was sent high into the air, followed up by several quick punches before that particular combo was finished off with a roundhouse. "Hehehe. Glad to see I haven't grown rusty at all! he exclaims happily. Of course...he trained nearly every day...every chance he got..so him getting rusty was likely not going to happen.

Now right as he was going to go for another set, a knock reached his ears, forcing him to stop what he was doing, which caused the saddest of looks to briefly appear on his face. "Aww man....who could that be? he asked as he ran around to the front of the house and stopped dead in his tracks at the sight of who was knocking on his door. Why is 18 here? Hopefully its not delivering bad news about Krillin... he found himself thinking, but nonetheless he put on that goofy grin of his and walked toward her. "Hiya 18. What brings you to these parts? Is everything okay at home? I know Old Man Turtle is a handful..and how are Krillin and Marron?

As he came trotting toward her from around the side of the house and not answering the door like she'd expected. Eighteen was not surprised to see that genuine goofy Goku grin stapled onto his face. Naturally, he suspected that she was here to deliver bad news - the blond wasn't known for making social house calls, after all. "Everything and everyone is fine," she said in a tone that almost made it sound like she was upset to be bearing good news.

She turned away from the door, facing him with the entire front of her body. She crossed her arms over her bosom and declared in a solemn voice, "Goku, we need to talk." Goku loved to fool around, but he'd know when to get serious.

A sigh of relief escaped his lips as she explained everyone was fine..though he could tell by the Android's tone that this was a serious matter, so he decided perhaps he best be serious too. "Glad to hear everything is alright... he says with a smile smile as he opens the door and steps in the house. As she explained they needed to talk he simply nodded. "C'mon in then." he says as he beckons for her to do so with his arm before making his way into the living room

Before setting foot in the living room of course, his boots were removed so that he now tread barefoot on the floor. Chi Chi was such a pain when it came to customs..among being a pain about other things. Settling onto the couch, he'd allow his arms to rest on the back of the sofa. "Whatcha think we gotta talk about? he asked once she entered and chose a spot to sit.

"I-" she started, beginning to express that she would have preferred to stay outside. But he was already walking into his humble abode, so she rolled her eyes and entered after him. The house was quaint and clean, because Chi Chi had nothing better to do than sit around and clean all day like the perfect housewife. Eighteen noticed that his wife's influence even prompted Goku to remove his boots before stepping into the den, the heart of the home. She followed in after him with her arms folded and her shoes still on her feet. She wouldn't be removing them.

She kept her eyes set on Goku, the bane of her existence and life's purpose, as he plopped onto the couch. He propped up his arms and asked her what they needed to talk about. "Look, I'm going to try to make this fast. I don't really like being here." It was true that in the past, Eighteen appeared to like - or tolerate, at least - all of Krillin's friends, but always reserved a special slice of spite in her heart for her husband's best friend, Goku. Though he'd served as the best man of her wedding, the android couldn't override her systems to bring herself to not hate him. "Did you know that my brother was back on Earth?"
