I remember you was conflicted
Misusing your influence
Sometimes I did the same
Abusing my power, full of resentment
Resentment that turned into a deep depression

Goku stirred awake just as the first rays of sunlight loomed over the horizon, bathing with its warm glow. Yawning, he was unsure what time it was but he figured it was around the time he usually got up to train. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he felt refreshed and ready to tackle whatever the world had in store for the day.

Goku then realised that there was a heavy weight resting on both his chest and legs. It was oddly warm as well. Looking down he noticed the sleeping form of Karasuba and it seemed she had moved during the night as she was now in a semi foetal position with her head resting within the crook between his shoulder. Her surprisingly strong arms held him within a vice like grip around his torso.

Left with no way to move until she naturally woke up herself he observed her sleeping form like he used to with Chi-Chi when she would sleep in. The serene smile present on her features as she mumbled inaudibly made the Saiyan feel content. He couldn't fathom why that small smile was more than capable of making him feel happy. "Maybe things are starting to look up..." he mumbled under his breath.

Goku then leaned back into the wall, his gaze directed at the bland grey ceiling. He began to think about what he was going to do next. He had no idea where he was nor was there a viable way home, but worst of all he had no food. He sighed dejectedly, his stomach grumbling in protest to his last thought causing Karasuba to stir awake.

"Good morning."he said joyfully in greeting.

Karasuba yawned as she detached herself from her Saiyan shaped body pillow from the night before. She acknowledged his greeting with a grunt before stretching. Once she was done, she slumped back on to her ashikabis warm and broad chest. "Good morning my ashikabi." she greeted dreamily, her voice heavy with sleep.

"Ashikabi? Who's that?" Goku asked, the term being alien to him. Maybe it was a type of food. "My name is Son Goku." he continued, thinking that maybe she had forgotten his name only to realise that he had never gave it to her in the first place.

"Well Goku, you are my ashikabi." Karasuba said while peeling herself from her body pillow once more to stand up. She then proceeded to dust herself off. Goku looking puzzled while deep in thought as he processed the new information caused her to pinch the bridge of her nose. 'I might have an idiot for an ashikabi.' she mused, hoping that it wasn't the case. "...and before you ask, and i have a feeling you you're going to, what you need to know is that an ashikabi is a Sekireis destined partner. A person who they are fated to meet and be with forever."

"You got me there ehehe."Goku chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head. How she had known that he had planned to ask her that was beyond him. "So it's like marriage?" he continued, attempting to summarise the information he had received.

Karasuba however shook her head in response. "No, unlike that human custom a bond between ashikabi and Sekirei is not so easily broken. Either death or defeat at the hands of another Sekirei can server that bond and in the case of the former it kills both." she explained while retrieving her cloak from the floor.

"I'm guessing Sekirei are some type of alien race then." Goku said as he lowered his gaze to the floor in thought while cupping his cheek. "I guess that explains why your energy feels higher than that of a human."

"What do you mean by that?" questioned Karasuba in return. Her cloak was over her shoulders once more, with her hands now preoccupied with wiping off any loose dust and dirt present on her clothing. She wasn't sure what he meant by that. Also now that she was looking closer at him she could have sworn that he had red hair previously yet now it was a spiky palm tree like raven mess, while he also appeared more bulkier than previous. Choosing not to dwell on it, she chalked it up to her fatigue the previous night making her see things.

"I can sense the energy that people give off. So the higher it is like in your case, the stronger you are and vice versa." explained Goku as he tried to keep as simple as he could manage, not wanting to overwhelm her with his off-world knowledge. "By my estimations you're about ten times stronger than the average human."

"Pffft, as if." exclaimed Karasuba, not believing a word he had said. Such a thing was nigh impossible for Sekirei let alone a human like her ashikabi. Maybe he was trying to impress her, however it was a pathetic attempt at make belief. "What next, you're going to tell me that you can fly, teleport and shoot lasers from your hands?" mocked Karasuba, as she continued.

Goku meekly scratching his cheek while grinning like a fool caused Karasuba to grow suspicious and well suspicion leads to curiosity. Flicking his forehead elicited a cry of pain from him but she she ignored it to glare menacingly at him "There's something you're hiding, and i want to know what it is."

"Well you didn't have to flick me." moaned Goku in response, massaging the sore spot with a pout. "But i guess it's only fair. I may look human but I'm actually an alien like you."

Karasuba remained silent, with Goku looking on in anticipation of how she would react to his revelation. She giggled initially before breaking out into loud raucous laughter, unable to take her ashikabi seriously any-more. "You? An Alien? Don't make me laugh!" she retorted after her laughter had ceased.

"But I'm telling you the truth." said a frowning Goku, unhappy that she wasn't taking anything he was saying seriously. Maybe there was a way to prove his alien genealogy, but how could he. Goku remained silent as he pondered over it, before it dawned on him. 'That's it!' Gathering his energy once more from within, the Saiyan willed himself back into his Super Saiyan God form.

The intense ruby light that accompanied the transformation had caused Karasuba to cover her eyes and look away lest she be blinded. When she opened them once again after a few moments had elapsed she came face to face with a slimmer looking Goku, with ruby tinted hair and eyes. Suddenly it all dawned back on her, the previous fight from the night prior where she had sworn he had red hair only to wake up and see it as black. At least she wasn't going mad.

Karasuba moved closer to her ashikabi, before reaching out and touching his ruby locks. They felt natural, yet warm within her grip. Looking down she came into eye contact with his piercing ruby eyes. "What is this? W-what are you exactly?"

"Well i am a Saiyan, a member of a warrior race that loved to fight and get stronger. We used to travel and conquer planets for profit while getting stronger until our planet was destroyed. So now there's only a handful of us left." Goku paused after answering the latter question, allowing Karasuba to digest the information he had just offloaded. Noting her hesitate to comment, he continued "To answer your other question, this is my Super Saiyan God form. It multiplies my base strength extraordinarily whenever i use it. I have other forms as well but at the moment I'm going to stick with this one."

Karasuba felt herself smiling at the prospect of having a strong alien for an ashikabi, who loved to fight judging from his interesting if tragic back story. Her heart fluttering in excitement caused her to pull the Super Saiyan God into a kiss, causing her black wings to unravel once more. Pulling away, she couldn't help laughing at the stupefied expression he wore.

"Guess good kisser is not an ability of yours." Karasuba teased, directing a light jab at his lack of experience.

Goku rubbed the back of his head in return, laughing lightly at the playful jab. "Well no, not really hehe, that was the second time i ever kissed someone."

"Well aren't you innocent." retorted Karasuba with a slight smile as she placed a hand on his cheek. Unfortunately Goku's stomach chose that exact moment to chime in, and thus ruining the moment for both.

"Guess I'm hungry haha."

Karasuba chuckled lightly in response "Come, let's go get breakfast then."

Moments later;

Goku and Karasuba found themselves in the street outside the small cafe they had been evicted from after eating the poor owner nearly out of business.

"Thanks for the food Karasuba" chimed a happy Goku, who then stifled a burp as he patted his full belly.

Karasuba however failed to hear him as she wept, her ashikabi having eaten a hole in her savings. "My poor wallet." she cried, as a moth flew from the now empty wallet. Granted she had predicted Goku to be a heavy eater due to his impressive physique however she had not been prepared for how much he had proceeded to consume.

"After such a big meal, i feel like training" quipped Goku as he began to do light stretches in the middle of the street, Inconveniencing passer-byes as they tried to get past him. Some shuffled awkwardly past while others directed dirty glares in the Saiyans direction.

Karasuba raised an eyebrow in curiosity, wondering why her ashikabi needed to train if he was already so strong, never mind the fact the fact he wasn't even required to fight in the Sekirei plan. Hoping to quell her curiosity, she asked the main question on her mind "But you're already stronger than pretty much everyone on the planet, and lets not forget the fact you're a God as well. Is the training really necessary?"

"Sure i may be the strongest on the planet from what i can tell so far but if there's one thing i have learned time and time again is that there will always be someone stronger than you." responded Goku, pausing mid-stretch to address his companion. It was a hard engrained lesson learnt from his early days with Master Roshi to as recently as with Jiren.

The Sekirei remained silent as her fellow alien refocused his attention to completing his stretches once more. Shaking her head with a light chuckle, she hated to admit but he was on to something. Sighing through her mouth she responded, "There's a park a few blocks down you can use to do some training. It's relatively empty at this time of day."

"Sounds good!" quipped Goku while bouncing lightly on the balls of his feet. Nothing could beat training after a good meal, well maybe a good fight but they were rare so some intense training had to suffice. Although he couldn't help but be disappointed at the lack of strong fighters on the planet but maybe these Sekireis had new skills he could learn about. Remembering he had such a fighter nearby he turned to face her "So are you coming as well? I really want to see what you can do."

"Wish i could but in need to make preparations for the Sekirei plan." replied Karasuba.

"Sekirei plan?" asked Goku, tilting his head slightly to the side.

"I will explain it all later, but now i must go." Karasuba said, moving closer to Goku. While he wasn't exactly a giant in comparison, she found herself having to gaze up, a small smile present on her lips as she locked eyes with him. Leaning up using the balls of her feet she captured his lips in another quick kiss. "I'll see you later, don't get into trouble or else!" she threatened as she pulled away.

Goku swallowed audibly while nodding his consent to the request or demand more like. "Uh yeah sure, I'll try hehe." he responded, meekly scratching his cheek. After waving goodbye, he watched as Karasuba made her way through the crowds before disappearing around a corner.

"Now if i remember correctly it was this way." said Goku to no one in particular as he proceeded to intertwine his hands behind his neck. Walking away in the opposite direction to Karasuba, only one question remained on his mind. 'I wonder if the Sekirei plan involves fighting.'

A few hours later...

"Young Miss Please..."

In the park that Son Goku had chosen as his training area for the day, in another section, an elderly man in the twilight of his life stood before a railing. Said railing was occupied by a female dressed in nothing more than a shirt and a bloody lab coat. The elder couldn't help but be worried, after having come across her on his daily walk through the park.

"This place is dangerous for a young lady on her own." he stated, leaning on his walking stick for support. A gentle and cool evening breeze blew through the area while his words hung within the air. "You should get home before it gets darker and colder." he said, continuing his pleas from before.

"...I'm looking for a date." the woman mumbled in response, the wind picking up her words and carrying them away. Her blank and sombre expression remained unwavering under the pleas from the elder. Her short brown hair wavered gently within the wind, her cold ice blue eyes glued to the pavement beneath. Large crimson markings decorated her forehead.

"...What?" The elderly gentleman was taken aback. How could she think about looking for a date with the way she currently looked, caked in dried blood, no pants or shoes in sight with an unsightly blood coated lab-coat on top. "How can you expect to find a date in your current state? I recommend going home, getting cleaned up and then go looking for you date after you have rested."

Silence fell between the duo once more, the wind rushing through the surrounding greenery breaking the imposed silence in short bursts. Suddenly the woman moved slightly to change her sitting position, the new position allowing her to face her companion.

"I have no place to call home..." she mumbled sadly before raising her left hand to push through her hair slightly, her fingers separating the blond locks. "...and its all because I'm a failure, a scrapped number... a broken Sekirei."

Feeling disheartened at her current lack of a roof over her head, the old man shook his head sadly. Sure he had failed to understand much else aside from her lack of a residence however it left him wondering how and when the country had gone to the dogs if someone this young couldn't find a place to call home.

His train of thought was derailed however by a sombre tune hitching a ride along the cool evening breeze passing through the area. The old man and young female glanced at each other momentarily, almost as if asking each other silently as to who was whistling.

They didn't have to wait long, as a young man walked around the corner with his gaze facing the sky came while he whistled the sombre tune they had heard carried by the wind. His hands where entwined and resting on the nape of his neck. Aside from the whistling, his attire was eye captivatingly bright, a mixture of blue and orange covered in dirt. Numerous cuts, bruises and light burns covered the skin not hidden by his clothes.

The duo followed his slow and heavy footsteps as he drew nearer before he abruptly stopped. Ending his whistling, he smiled broadly before pulling a hand from behind his back to wave in greeting. "Yo!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"Uh, y-yo." greeted the old man in return, while his female companion remained silent upon her perch on the bench. Now that he was closer the old man took the chance to examine the young man. He was off average height, standing taller than himself with his palm like raven hair standing tall while defying gravity itself. He also had an incredible physique to boot.

"What's wrong?" questioned the young man, as he moved closer to the female. It seemed he had noticed the blood on her coat. "You okay miss?" he continued, while getting into a kneeling position.

Choosing to answer on behalf of the woman, the old man cleared his throat. "I found her like this not even that long ago, and since then i have been trying to convince her to go home to get some rest however she revealed that she has no home." upon finishing, he released a weary sigh while gazing at the motionless female.

"Really?" exclaimed the young man, sounding mildly shocked. "Guess you're just like me huh?" he continued, a small smile present on his lips at the news that he had found someone just like him.

"EHHHH!?" cried out the poor pensioner. The situation was clearly escalating out hand. He had found not one but two young adults slumming it out in the park, each covered in injuries of varying degrees. "You're homeless as well!?"

The young man scratched his cheek meekly, while chuckling lightly. "yeah haha, me too but i found someone who helped me out so maybe she can help you as well." the last part of his sentence was directed at the female, evidenced by him facing her once more.

"Can she really?" enquired the female, speaking for the first time since the young man had graced them with his presence. Her expression remained blank and deadpan.

Undeterred by the lack of expression, the young man responded to her enquiry, "I'm sure she will. Ooh, before i forget my name is Son Goku, nice to meet you."

"...Akitsu." was all Akitsu said in return, the never wavering blank expression staying.

The pensioner took this as a sign to make his departure. She was clearly now in the care of Son Goku. Sure other people would have been wary of strangers offering residency, however the pensioner felt that there was something about Son Goku that made him feel like he could trust him. Call it a hunch or a gut feeling, but either way the pensioner felt comfortable leaving Akitsu in his care.

Turning to shuffle away, the old man waved over his shoulder. "Well I'll be off you two. Take care!" Goku and Akitsu had turned to watch him walk away before turning to face each other once more.

"Shall we get going as well?" asked Goku with a small smile. While he didn't want to push the girl or anything, he was kinda getting hungry after training.

Nodding her consent, Goku moved back slightly to give Akitsu ample room to stand up to her feet. She stood up slowly and shakily to her feet before stumbling forward slightly. Bracing herself for impact with the cold ground, she closed her eyes, however she gasped and opened them once more when she felt a gentle grip on her arm that steadied her.

"You okay?" looking towards her saviour, she noted the worried expression Goku wore on his features. She felt her heart flutter in her chest while her cheeks reddened. Failing to form words, she instead nodded in response. Her saviour slowly retracted his hand, almost as if he feared she might topple over once more if he let go, however she remained standing on her feet.

"In that case, lets go meet my friend. She's in the city." Goku said as he began to walk towards the entrance, Akitsu falling into step besides him as the sun dipped beneath the trees behind their backs.
