"Come on, Chichi! Faster! This is still too easy!"
"KAKAROT! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE THIS THING!" Chichi screamed as she desperately leaned to the side to avoid a large pile of boulders that they were speeding at.
Kakarot laughed, "You're doing great, Chichi! Just- TREE!"
"AAHH!" Chichi screamed, desperately trying to steer the sled to avoid the tree Kakarot was pointing out.
She didn't completely manage. The sled missed the tree trunk, but slammed into a root halfway buried into the ground at just the right angle, causing the whole sled to careen into the air, completely flipping over as both occupants found themselves suddenly thrown off.
Naturally, Kakarot was laughing the whole time, but Chichi was freaking out.
Even if he could do a handstand on a sled as it flew down unfamiliar, rough terrain at a more than 45 degree angle, she was a normal person (All normal people everywhere would probably resent that, but Chichi was currently comparing herself to Kakarot, so it stood). She could be injured if she was thrown down a mountain at forty miles per hour.
Pure, primal terror shot through Chichi as she found herself suddenly in the air, the sled, Kakarot, and herself suddenly three separate pieces instead of one single unit.
She moved on impulse, grabbing the sled right out of the air and forcing it back underneath her body. Right before the landing, Kakarot casually maneuvered himself through the air, planting one single hand onto the board.
Bang "WHOO!" Kakarot whooped as the board slammed back into the ground, continuing its swift path down the mountain, still doing a handstand on top of the moving board in a feat that was actually far more superhuman than it looked. "This is so fun!"
"AAAHHHHH!" Chichi went back to screaming the entire rest of the way down the mountain.
…
"Let's fly up and go again!"
"Absolutely not. I'm not flying anywhere, and I'm definitely not doing that again. Kakarot, I thought I was gonna die! No." Chichi instantly put her foot down.
Kakarot pouted. He'd figured out over the last couple of months that arguing with Chichi was ultimately pointless, but he presented his case anyway. "But I can't balance myself and exercise, Chichi! I need you to steer, or it's no fun!"
"No. I'm not doing that again, Kakarot. End of story." Chichi sighed. Kakarot opened his mouth, but whatever he was about to say was drowned out by a loud scream.
The two shared a glance, and instantly started running toward the source of the scream without a word.
…
His faster running speed and more precise ability to sense energy meant that Kakarot got there first, only wasting a handful of seconds in transit.
He barely had enough time for his brain to register the scene: A large boar-like creature running down a helpless old woman with a scarf covering her long grayed hair, before his body was already jumping in to help.
By the time Chichi caught up with the Saiyan, he was holding the boar back with his index finger, casually but respectfully extending his other hand to help the old lady off of the ground from where she'd fallen. "Are you okay, ma'am?" He asked, ignoring the boar completely.
In response, the boar made a loud noise of indignation, trying to push harder, to bowl over this confusing young man.
Kakarot turned his head to the boar. "Bad piggy. Be quiet."
The boar mostly ignored him. Kakarot didn't press the issue, though. If he used his aura to threaten it, then he'd probably kill it by accident.
"Oh, thank you, young man-" The woman fell into a small coughing fit, "You saved my life. I wasn't expecting a monster like this to be so close to the village. Oh, my son is not going to be happy about this, no sirree."
"Kakarot, it's a whole meal!" Chichi, having been traveling with Kakarot for months by now, saw nothing but food when she laid her eyes on the gigantic boar that the boy was casually holding back with his finger. A whole meal for Kakarot was enough to sustain Chichi by herself for a month.
The first sense you develop when traveling with Saiyans isn't ki-sense. It's food-sense. And Chichi's was one of the best.
Kakarot looked deep into the pig's eyes for a second. Clearly, it'd started to realize the true difference in power between it and the boy in front of it, and upon being called 'a whole meal', its entire body had frozen stiff.
"If you want to eat that thing, then you must have one hardy appetite, children. How about, as thanks for saving my life, you come back to my village and allow my son and I to cook it for you. It would be our pleasure to feed a nice young couple like yourselves."
Chichi's face went bright red at the word 'couple', but Kakarot was still too busy looking into the giant pig monster's eyes.
"...I don't think I wanna eat him." The boy said after a long moment of deliberation.
"Wait, you aren't thinking about food?! Kakarot, what's wrong?! Are you dying?! Tell me what feels off! Kakarotttt!" Chichi raced over to the Saiyan and started fussing, checking his forehead, his color, his pulse, looking for the source of the issue.
"Chichi-" Kakarot started with shock, taken aback by the sheer certainty in Chichi's mind that, just because he wasn't thinking about food or fighting, he was actually dying. The next moment, though, his expression completely shifted. "GET BACK!"
Without a moment's warning, Kakarot lunged forward, wrapping his arms around the taller girl and pulling her as close to his chest as he could.
Chichi's eyes barely had enough time to go wide in confusion before- ""DODON RAY!""
Two beams of bright light slammed squarely into Kakarot's back, knocking both of the children right off of their feet.
"Don't bully our Inashikacho!"
