Okay, once again DBZ is
not mine, but Ruu IS so that means she's MINE and that you CAN'T steal her
w/out my PERMISSION! Got that? Anyway here's part 7, It would have been out
sooner, but my friend had to have an emergency study session for our Science Quiz
(wink wink) and guess what? I got 'em all right for the practice one ^_~ Yay!
A cold feeling crossed
Ruu's forehead and she opened her eyes, quickly shutting them against the
blinding light. She tried again a minute later, waiting for her her picture to
come into focus. She blinked, and her view came in. She was in a small sunlit
filled room, on a small Japanese mat on the floor, there was nothing else in
the room save a small closet in the corner. She sat up and a tall woman with
blue hair pushed her down.
"Shhhh," her soothing
voice washed over her like a warm light, "sleep some more."
Ruu tried to stay awake,
but she felt herself drift away.

Goku looked at the
mangled body at his feet, it was a young boy of 19 or 20, he was handsome and
muscular, yet with strange lila hair. He was a saiyan, but that just couldn't
be. Or could it? Had Mr. Jan been
wrong? Had they really been on his side. And that girl, yes, Bulma was taking
care of her. She was no threat but she had to be looked after. She wasn't
normal, that little display before the fight had been extremely irregular, like
some sort of seizure. And then her veins burst, and all that screaming. Goku
covered his eyes as if trying to rid the thought.
Vegeta, why was she
attacking him like that, she was more ferocious than even him, and where was he
anyway? He was hiding in the basement of the Kame House. The door creaked open
and Bulma stepped out.
"Goku, she's fine, just
tired, we should let her sleep. She's been through a lot. She totally covered
in blood and bruises, she has three cracked rib's and a fracture in her skull,
not to mention, a sprained wrist, and a broken arm. She's mangled Goku, what on
earth happened?"
"Vegeta happened, she
bowed to him, but he fought her and she didn't do anything back. And then all
of a sudden she exploded, and her friend died. That's when she wreaked havoc on
Vegeta, and well, I had to step on, sorry about her skull," Goku curled his
fingers into a fist.
"Yeah, I would have done
that too, let her rest a bit, lets get some lunch, and then we'll talk to her,"
Bulma explained.
"But Bulma, you couldn't
possibly expect-"
"Nonsense Goku! She's
gotta be fine, just now she was trying to get up," Bulma reassured him.
"Okay, I guess. Well then!"
he clapped his hands together. "Lunch!"
"Oh boy."

Goku was gobbling down
his food at an incredible speed, when the kitchen door opened and Ruu stepped
inside.
Her normal aqua eyes were
cloudy and puffy, her black hair was in disarray, and her hands were clasped
tightly together in front of her. She was bighting her lip tightly to keep from
crying. "C-can I see Trunks?" she stammered.
Bulma nodded, wondering
what was going on she brought forth a tiny baby, and handed her (much to
everyones surprise) right to Ruu.
Ruu surprised as ever,
handed him back to his mother. Then fitting the puzzle pieces together, she
explained it all. "Madame, I'm sorry to inform you, but your son died this
afternoon."
Bulma gazed wide-eyed at
Ruu, then at her baby. "But that's not possible, he's right here!"
Ruu shook her head, "your
son traveled back in time, I don't know myself how. But he's here, or was
here." She said sadly.
Vegeta spit out the water
in his mouth and stood up, tipping the table as he went. "You mean that purple
haired freak is my son?" he demanded.
Ruu nodded.
Vegeta looked as though
Christmas had been canceled, "You're lying!"
Ruu shook her head and
put up her fist, and said through some fresh tears. "If you want to prove it go
ahead!"
Vegeta ignored her, and
sat down again.
"I've got it!" said
ChiChi happily.
"What Mom?" asked Gohan.
"You guys have those weird orange balls, you could just wish him back," she
explained.
Ruu looked the exact opposite
of Vegeta. "If it won't be too much trouble," she asked remembering her
manners.
"Great!" Bulma shouted
with glee.
"No!" Goku yelled, his
voice echoing through the small kitchen where everyone had gathered.
Ruu's bubble of hope
burst immediately. "And why not?"
"Because, we don't know
if you're speaking the truth."
"Of course I am! Now you
give me those damned dragonballs or else!"
"And what if we don't?"
asked Vegeta.
Ruu shut her eyes and
stretched out her hand, a small red ball formed in it, about the size of a
baseball. "If not" she pressed her fist under Gohan's nose. "Then this little
thing is going to destroy everything," she lied expertly.
"Including you," Vegeta
added with a smirk.
"Point being?" she asked,
knowing Vegeta saw through her bluff.
"Listen!" Ruu shouted,
"you," she pointed at Vegeta. "You are prince Vegeta of the planet Vegeta. Nee,
your advisor, second only to you and the king, he is my father. I am the child
you would have slaughtered at age 15! Happy now?"
"Is this true?" Goku
asked.
Vegeta hesitated for a
moment then responded, "Yeah, I think."
The ball under Gohan's
face disappeared, "now," Ruu ordered. "Hand over the dragonballs."
"Wait," said Goku, "there's
something not right. Where would Jan
fit into this?"
"Who?" asked Ruu leaning
closer.
"Itz, Dor Jan. He told us
that he was warning us about two beings that would land on earth pretending to
be related to us, then they would kill us all."
Ruu paled.
"Do you know him?" asked
Piccolo.
"Yeah, he was lying, he's
going to destroy all of you, I guess he was just toying with me before, and
he's just going to wait until the right time. And then, kill you all, and me,"
Ruu explained, her aqua eyes were cloudy and gray, with a spark of anger trying
to get out.
"I see," said Goku, and
he walked over to Bulma and whispered something to her. She nodded and Goku
turned to Ruu. "Bulma says that she knows where they are and will wish him back
immediately," Goku disappeared.
"Wha-?"
"Instant transmission,"
Piccolo informed her.
"Oh right," said Ruu, too
happy to cover her glee, the next moment, when they had gathered around Trunks,
he disappeared.
"Trunks!" Ruu screamed.
"What the hell did you guys do with him?" She began to choke Vegeta.
"Gerroff me woman!" he
shoved her roughly away.
Goku appeared behind Ruu
and Vegeta, and they both jumped.
"Where'd he go?" she said
desperately.
"The dragonballs are gone,
I don't know where they are, we won't find them anytime soon, Trunks will have
to wait," Goku said sadly.
"WHAT?" Ruu yelled, "he
just disappeared!"
"What do you mean Ruu?"
asked Goku suspiciously.
"I mean, he just
disappeared, he was right there!" she pointed to the empty floor.
"I don't know," Goku
stammered, "It has to have been Dorjan!"
"I'm going after that son
of a-"
"No!" Goku stopped her,
"he'll pound you, you have to train first!"
Ruu scowled, "fine, but
not long!"
"Right, one year in the
time chamber is equivalent to 1 earth day, so are you going with Vegeta or
Piccolo?"
"She's going with me!"
Vegeta commanded, he wasn't going to wait another day to be the most powerful
person in the universe. And even then risk Goku telling him off again, even if
he had to do it with this little slut.
"Fine," Ruu growled back,
hiding her emotions. "I'm going now!" she lept into the air and flew after
Vegeta towards the chamber…
Mr. Popo opened the door
before he was roughly shoved away by two determined saiyans. He shrugged and
shut the door.
Ruu examined the chamber,
it was like a house, there was everything she could ever have there, beds,
food, showers… it was hard to breathe and she felt completely isolated here.
She followed Vegeta out of the room, into a gigantic backyard, she stepped off
of the porch, and fell smack on her face, Vegeta didn't even turn around.
The gravity! It's so
strong here! And I can hardly breathe! She tried to push herself up, but the gravity pushed her down, clacking
her bones painfully together, she almost cried out. Whats going on, I've
trained in 600 times earths gravity! What's going on?
Well you have, just
been sick, the voice in the back
of her mind reminded her.
Duh! Ruu pushed her body up, into a standing position.
She took a step forward without a thought, but surprisingly her body held. She stumbled a bit, but pulled herself
right. In front of her Vegeta was just standing there, without a thought.
Suddenly he whirled around and shot her with a tremendous blast of energy. Ruu
took a defensive stance, as her hair was ferociously whipped her face.
Suddenly, moments before the clash, Vegeta appeared in front of her and
released another similar blast. The two matched each other in strength, and
they both exploded in midair.
Ruu covered her eyes,
hiding the brilliant whitish green light, that illuminated the entire fortress.
She ducked swiftly as Vegeta aimed a blow at her, but she didn't do it quickly
enough and she was thrown back several feet as his fist hit her squarely in the
stomach.
"Don't think that just
because we're in here together that we're going to fight each other kid!"
Vegeta spat at her.
Ruu felt like hitting him
back, but something stopped her, and she just sat there, watching Vegeta leap
into the sky and fly away. Unseen rage quivered all over her body, her face
grew hot and she had the urge to destroy the entire fortress. But she just lay
there, the waves of unseen hate and injustice lapping at her feet. Suddenly
they sprang up like a great force and came clashing down on her, spraying
droplets of anger all over her. When
they disappeared the world seemed to slowly spin around her, as if a cameraman
was in a helicopter rotating around her. The waves disappeared and she felt
nothing but surpressing rage. She stood up, and quickly vented the rage by
releasing the largest blast she had ever done.
The blast went forward
then curved and followed herself, she realized that it honed in one the closest
person. Trying with all her might to run away, an idea struck her, if she hit
Vegeta with it, it would not only get away from her, it would also make her
feel better. Sensing his power to the west of her, she painfully lept into the
air, ignoring the force, threatening to pull her down. She went faster and
faster, the blast getting farther and farther away, seeing her best friends
father up ahead, she curved sharply away, and the blast, seeing someone else
headed towards Vegeta.
Vegeta turned around,
seeing the largest blast in his life, he stood there rigid in panic. That
damned girl!
Ruu cupped her hands into
fists in front of her and, filling her cheeks with air, she shouted out "TIME
FREEZE!" She ran as fast as she could around the rigid forms of the blast and
Vegeta and she positioned herself in front of Vegeta, and released KaMeHaMeHa
after KaMeHaMeHa, until she was out of breath. The blast greatly diminished,
she ran for it, and let out her breath, watching over her shoulder Vegeta block
the attack. She swore to herself for being so stupid, and hurried East.
Okay, I've already
started with Part 8, so I'll have it up in a bit ^_~
