Chapter 2

Disclaimer- I own nothing!

Bulla stopped walking and looked around. She was so distracted by the flower and the seller she lost track of Chi-chi and the other women. Knowing them they hadn't even noticed she was missing yet, Chi-chi would notice shortly though. "Maybe I should wait here…no the women will get upset, I think I know the store they were talking about." She mumbled to herself as she started walking again. Bulla walked down the road she thought the shop was on, but it was barren. She huffed as she turned around. *this sucks where is that shop?* She looked up at the sound of footsteps, maybe it was a cop. Her heart sank as it was four guys about her age or no older then trunks had been. " Look boss a cute girl was looking for us.""Are you lost babe, let us help you.""no, go away!" She slowly backed away. This was just her luck to walk by a group's normal hangout…she had heard stories about them, a group of guys liked to take girls into their group, use them for sex then kill them when they done with them. Bulla fought back tears, * Why did I have to get separated, stupid boy with the flower.* She looked down at the flower she was still holding, she couldn't bring herself to drop it. She crouched down and closed her eyes, if this had been last year she could have stood up to the guys and beaten them senseless. But, ever since that day she had never been able to lift her fists or even her voice to defend herself. *Goten,*she whispered to herself as the tears broke through.

"Bulla!" she was pushed backwards as she heard yelling. Bulla opened her eyes to see Chi-chi come running towards her. The guards of the nobles were holding the guys from the moving while the women contacted the officials."Bulla are you okay?" Chi-chi asked her as she helped her stand and pulled her close. "We came looking for you as soon as we realized you weren't by us.""Chi-chi I'm so sorry, how did you find me?""We saw you as we were walking back to where we knew we were still together, I noticed the boys first then I saw you, Kira's guards stopped the boys from advancing further.""Oh, so they were the ones who pushed me back?""No dear, they weren't anywhere near you, perhaps you just fell back?""Yea, maybe."Chi-chi started walking back to the other women who were getting impatient, they were a little peeved that they had to go for Bulla in the first place. Bulla looked behind her and saw nothing. "Someone pushed me I just know it.""Did you say something Bulla?""No, sorry," she rushed ahead to Chi-chi who was talking to Kira and the other woman briefly. Bulla looked up and saw a pure white feather land into her hands.*Was it you, did you save me? She held on tightly to the feather and flower as she walked with the others to the shop.

That night Bulla walked into her house and collapsed on her bed. She was utterly exhausted from everything. Her mother and Chi-chi were downstairs talking and she knew as soon as Chi-chi left she would be half yelled at for not being as cautious as she should have been. Bulla rolled over to face the wall, she just wasn't in the mood today, today went from bad to worse and hopefully her mom would go easy on her if she knew all that happened.

I must have dozed off for a little while because I snapped up when I heard a light knocking. I learned while being here that my ears picked up everything when I napped, any little noise startles me. "Bulla are you alright can I come in?" I quickly moved the hair out of my face and tried not to look groggy even though I felt like I could pass out again. My mom came in and sat on my bed, next to me, this can't be good, so far whenever she comes in and sits down bad news follows."Bulla I know you are a smart girl and you are very strong but please be more careful. I can't lose you, you are all I have left.""I know mom, I just froze earlier I should have tried to defend myself, but I promise to stay more alert to my surroundings.""That's good to hear, now on a better note, I love the dress you chose, I bet it will look lovely on you."Bulla could tell her mother was hiding something from her, her voice sounded so distant."Mom, what's wrong, everything okay?"Bulma fixed her outfit then looked Bulla right in the eyes."Bulla, Chi-chi wants you to have a chance to become something while you are still able. We aren't going to force you but we want you to know that the option is there for you.""What will happen to you, I won't leave you alone, not after dad ,left us!""Bulla he didn't leave us, he is working hard to become a great leader again and Chi-chi said I could stay with her, so we would both be together.""You would be her servant! How could things change so much it doesn't make seem possible.""It wouldn't be that bad, Chi-chi is willing to take care of us, Bulla she wants to help you.""Dad should be taking care of us, instead of fighting for the old glory, he should be in the army, we could all live together but instead he sells us like we are nothing!""Bulla, your father…this is what he thinks he has to do, he can't rule something in the army, only people born here can really gain power and leadership there.""Well he should get off his high horse and face facts, we aren't who we were before he should accept that and move on!""You know he can't do that, he is too proud, Bulla your father may try to take over this planet, and I want to make sure you are safe from him so he can't use you. You deserve a normal life.""He wants to take over this planet?! But, why after all this planet was kind enough to take us in and forgive the fact that weren't really allies with them before we lost our home. He can't just throw that away!"

Bulma looked down, she knew Bulla was right, what Vegeta was doing was wrong, but she couldn't stop him. He wasn't contacting her anymore and if she went looking for him he sent her away, he told her never to come back, if she did he would have her arrested.

"What happens if I go with Chi-chi?" Bulla had her teeth clenched, all this information made her blood boil, how could her father do this?"You will be considered her daughter, she will raise you as a noble, Bulla it won't be easy for you, but I think you should do this.""Mom, I will do it, I'm going to be the one that stops father, he has caused us so much pain, enough is enough."Bulla knew Chi-chi was going to be given a lot of grief for taking her in. The noble women already hated Bulla for being treated like someone important instead of the hired help she was. That night Bulla tried to figure out what to do about her father and if she really was protected by the man she loved.

Sorry for the delay in chapters, I had to finish another story first before I could update this one. Also I had to revise the first chapter because I forgot about something I did in the first story. Please review.
