In Living One…
Disclaimer- I do not own z
Sun hit Bulla's eyes, she tried to make it stop but the sun won and she woke up. She sat up and realized that there were covers and pillows on the floor.
Great me being here kicked Gohan out of his own bed now I feel badly. Following the smell of food she walked downstairs and into the kitchen, where Gohan and Goten were sitting and Chi-chi was standing by the stove cooking. "Hey you're up" Goten started bouncing up in his chair, "How do you feel?"
"I feel better, sore but better" "That's to be expected, glad to hear your better though, oh yeah I was wondering if you would like it if I showed you around later, I mean show you the town and things, maybe it could help" "Yeah I would love that but I can't go anywhere like this" she looked down she wasn't wearing a long t-shirt and really baggy pants, they were on the verge of falling. "Oh yeah sorry about that, you see your clothes were kinda…um depleted and I grabbed the first thing I saw from my draw" Oh great my best friends father saw me half naked, not to self kill my mom when I see her suddenly it dawned on her she was fruitless in finding the little time machine yesterday. "Oh Belinda before I forget follow me" Gohan got up and walked to the laundry room and picked up her old clothes. He turned around holding the shattered remains of her only way home. "This was attached to you when I found you; in pretty bad shape." She was handed the device, a sweat drop rolled down the back of her head, "Thanks…Gohan" "Your welcome I guess but what is it?"
"My way home" she whispered to herself. "What" Gohan asked baffled and confused by her statement. Bulla quickly realized what she said and tried to fix her mistake. "What I meant was that I could probably get my memory back if this wasn't broken" Before the conversation could get any worse for her Chi-chi called them for breakfast. As Gohan walked ahead Bulla fought to hold back the tears. Now how am I going to get home this just great, I'm stuck in the past.

"No, stop, don't touch me!"
"Come back you've been a bad girl you need to be punished" A man was running holding a belt ready to whip her with it. She ran out the door and into the woods, once safe she stopped and caught her breath. Slowly she worked her way to the only safe heaven for her, school. There no one hit her or abused her out of anger, if she could she would never leave its safe walls. Reaching the school she wiped away her tears and walked inside.

After Gohan left for school Goten went to hang out with Trunks leaving Bulla alone with Chi-chi. Bulla stood in the doorway while Chi-chi searched for a box of all her old clothes. Scaling the room she found pictures on top of the main dresser and more on the mirror hung behind it. Bulla was examining one of them when she felt Chi-chi come besides her. "That picture was the last picture taken with Goku in it." She turned and looked at her, "Goku?" "Oh that's my husband; he was killed fighting Cell a few years back." Chi-chi seemed to space out for a moment before coming back to reality. "Oh yeah I find it, here go through it and see if something fits." Bulla took the box and dug stuff out all the while wondering why he was alive in her time and not this one, maybe she changed history by coming this far back? Changing into a new outfit she cleaned up her little mess and ran downstairs to see what Chi-chi was doing. "Anything I can help you with?" "No, not really I'm just doing little things, besides you're a guest and you could probably use the rest your injuries won't heal if you don't let them" "Okay I guess" with that she ran up to Gohan's room and sat at his desk trying to see if she could repair the time machine.
A few hours later she still was no where, getting fed up she pushed it aside and walked outside to get some fresh air. She walked around to the back of the house and sat on a tree stump. She started crying suddenly she was home sick, a sense of dread hit her when the thought of never being able to go home again hit her. "You okay?" She was so lost in her tears she never even felt Gohan come home from school. He saw her crying and sat next to her. "Hey don't cry it will be okay" "No, it won't I'll never be able to go back home again"
"Don't say that your memory will return I promise, just give it time it's barely been a day I bet once your injuries start to heal your memory will come back if only a little at a time"
"If only it was that simple" she whispered
"Huh?"
"Nothing forget it"
They sat quietly for a little bit when suddenly Gohan jumped up and grabbed her hand. "Follow me I want to show you something that if nothing else might brighten your mood." The two walked into the woods, Bulla trying to figure out where she was being lead to. "Gohan where are you taking me?" "It's just up ahead" They walked into a clearing the grass was green and lush a river flowed between the clearing and the base of the mountains. "It's so pretty" Gohan let go of her hand as she walked around taking in the beauty. Gohan crashed to the ground and looked up at the sky. Bulla lay next to him; he was right this place did lift her mood but then again how could it not. She sat up and looked at him, he had his eyes closed. Looking at him it dawned on her how much he was like his father, just the air around them made everything so cherry and peaceful. "Gohan, I'm …sorry to hear about your father" he opened his eyes and sat up." "Thanks but its okay knowing that he died trying to protect his family and friends" "Yeah I guess but still it's sad"
"Yes and no my father was always so happy that when I think about him it's hard to be sad, if that makes any sense"
"A little bit" Bulla looked out over the water, Gohan still looked at her. "That dress…it fits you nicely" She turned and blushed a little, "It's your mother's she has good taste in clothing."

The girl waited as long as she could be going home. She left she saw the city in which her school lay. So many times she thought about running into the city never going home, but she couldn't. Where would she run to? She had no money to stay somewhere and no friends to offer her protection, It's not liked she minded having no friends, she liked it like that, She never had to worry about her friends asking why they couldn't come over to her house or why she worse long clothes, even in the hot weather. Taking a deep breath she entered the woods and walked home.
Sneaking in the house she went to her room and took off the hoodie she had on, Bruises, scares, burns marks, on her back burned as the material of her clothes rubbed against it. Hearing a car door close she ran downstairs to make sure she was at the door to take her father's things or face the punishment later. Not saying a word she put away his things then started making dinner, her mother came home a little while later she never knew she came in. The mother stared at the girl then walked away. She stopped cooking and sat down. She knew the real reason why she could never leave, her mother hurt her as well, but it was only really when the father was mad, and as long as her mother stayed so would she.

This is so over due I feel bad I've had it written for months but never felt like typing. I already started the next chapter so hopefully I can finish writing it and then type and update soon. I make no promises though. Anyway thanks for the reviews I really love them all and hope you continue to enjoy Being Saved.
