Goku saw what was happening. Kaito was in front of Bulma, catching the staff with one hand.
'When did he come here? He is fast. So, he is both handsome and strong. He is totally my type.' Bulma thought.
"Let go. She stole my grandpa's only memento. I will not allow that to happen." Goku said.
"Calm down kid. The one she has is not yours. Look at it closely." Kaito said.
Goku looks at the dragon ball closely and says "You are right, this ball only has two stars in it while my grandpa's has 4."
Then Kaito explains about the dragon ball. He then says "You have one like this. We will just use it to summon the dragon and return it to you after we make our wish. What do you say?"
"You are lying. You are just going to take it and run off." Goku says.
'Wow. Is he supposed be this smart? But then, he didn't trust Bulma with his dragon ball so, it makes sense.' Kaito thought and said "Then why don't you come with us. That way you can keep the ball with you and let us use it to make the wish. We will return it immediately."
"Ok. Let me get the ball. You seem like a nice man. Let me treat you to this fish. It is delicious." Goku said.
While walking, Goku's tail was moving around. That's when Bulma noticed it and said to Kaito "See that kid. He has a fake tail attached to him. Does he think it makes him look cool?"
"I don't think that's a fake one." Kaito said.
"Where have you seen a person that has a tail? Don't try to fool me." Bulma said.
Kaito also decided to leave it there. She would get to know eventually.
Kaito accepts the food offering and all three arrive at Goku's house. There Goku gives Bulma and Kaito a piece of the fish he was carrying.
After their meal, they decided to head out on the adventure in search for the dragon balls.
"My car broke. How are we going to travel now?" Bulma asks.
"I have a car we could use." Kaito said and brought out a capsule. He clucks it and throws it.
A floating car appeared. It could also be used to fly but the altitude is not so much.
Goku freaks out and shouts "Are you a magician?"
"Calm down. This is something her dad invented. You will see this everywhere in the city." Kaito said and got in the car.
Bulma sat next to him and Goku sat behind them. They left Goku's home and headed towards the next dragon ball.
They travel till dusk and the whole time, Bulma was hugging Kaito's arm. He also didn't say anything because no sane person would refuse a beautiful girl's company in a long ride.
At dawn, they decided to camp at a place. Bulma brought out a capsule which turned into a house.
Goku got in and looked around. He said "Wow. It's afternoon inside. What sorcery is this?"
Kaito said "Goku, there are many things that you need to see if you are amazed by this."
Bulma walked around, when she was close to Goku, he was stinking.
"Goku. When was the last time you showered?" Bulma asks Goku.
"What's a shower?" Goku asked.
"That's disgusting. Let me teach you." Kaito said and taught Goku how to bath. After Goku was done, he decided to take a shower himself.
He gets into the tub and relaxes. He says "Nothing is better than a peaceful bath."
Then he heard the door of the bathroom sliding. He looks at the door and sees Bulma with only a towel covering her body.
'Isn't this a little too early for this?' Kaito thought.
"Kaito, I want to tell you what I wanted to wish the dragon." Bulma said with a determined face.
"Is it important to say it now?" Kaito asked.
"Yes. I wanted to wish for your location. I have been searching for you since that incident." Bulma said.
"Why?" Kaito asked.
"Did you really forget about it? Remember that we were dating when we were kids." Bulma said.
"But that was when we were kids. I thought you are dating someone now." Kaito said.
Bulma has an angry face. She asked "I still like you. That's why I haven't dated anyone since then. Are you dating someone?"
"No. Even I liked you when you. I thought you wouldn't remember that since that was long back." Kaito said.
Bulma's face turns happy and said "Then what are we waiting for. Since I am 18 now, I want to marry you."
'Wow. This is the first time a girl asked me to marry her. I did like her in the show and when she was small. So, why not. Even though this is progressing too fast. We have known each other when we were kids.' Kaito thought and agreed to marry her.
He then said "Now, will you tell. ke why you are here like that. We could have talked about this after my bath too."
"I thought I will use my body so that you might agree. So, did it work?" Bulma asks, swinging her hips.
"How am I supposed to control myself when you do that?" Kaito said and got up from the tub.
He walks closer to her. Bulma sees his naked body and her face turns red. When he gets close, he locks his lips with her. Bulma opens her eyes wide and then closes them to enjoy the kiss.
After a while, he separates from her and she said "That was my first kiss. I wanted to kiss you ever since I turned 12. That felt good."
"Want to continue?" Kaito asked and Bulma simply nods.
Kaito shouts "Goku, can you get us something to eat. I would love to have a fish now."
"Ok" Goku replied and left the house. Kaito looked at Bulma and said "Now there is no one to listen to your moans other than me." while removing her towel.
Kaito then.....
(I also feel that this is too rushed and early in this stage of the story but, Kaito and Bulma dated when they were small. Even though it was at childhood, Bulma took it seriously and Kaito is not a fool to refuse a beautiful woman's proposal. Kaito's childhood will come later and not now. I don't want to start with his flashback.)
