A week had gone by and Bra's withdrawal was not getting any better. In fact, it was getting worse. She was shaking constantly, she was sweating profusely, and sleep was non-existent for her. Bra spent most of her time either lying in bed or on the couch. Bulma was caring to her needs, but it was heartbreaking for her to see. Because of her condition, training was out of the question. No one could understand why Bra's recovery had taken a turn for the worse.
It was a Friday night when Bra decided she needed to get out of the house. Bra walked down the stairs wearing a red tank top and a pair of black cotton pants. She walked into the kitchen where Bulma had just placed Vegeta's "snack" on the table for him.
"Mom. Dad. I'm going to go out for awhile. Is that ok?" asked Bra.
"Are you sure honey? Maybe you could call someone to go with you?" said Bulma.
"I'll be fine mom. I just going into town to get something to eat; I've been cooped up in the house for far too long, if I don't get out of here, I'll lose my mind."
"Princess," said Vegeta, "I want you home by 11 o'clock. No later."
"Ok, daddy." Smiled Bra. Bra put on her coat and walked out the door. She hopped into her car and headed into town.
Once she got into town she went into her favorite restaurant, Violets, for dinner. She loved Violets because they were small and usually not busy, plus they served Gyros, which were her favorite. She walked into Violets and sat down, and since she already knew what she wanted the waitress took her order right away. She looked around the restaurant waiting for her meal. She hadn't been out of the house in so long she had forgot what the real world is like. 'hmm, maybe I should have got Pan or someone to come with me, some company would be nice I guess.' Thought Bra.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't my little bitch." Said a cold voice from behind her. The voice made Bra's hair stand up and a shiver flew up her back. She quickly stood up and turned to face her old demon.
"Get away from me, Kris." Snarled Bra. Kris moved closer to her.
"Awe, is that a way to greet an old friend?" said Kris as he touched her cheek with the back of his hand. Bra flinched backwards, "Still weak? Still afraid of me? You should be." Kris growled. Kris moved closer to her until his face was centimeters from hers, Bra continued to move back.
"You ruined my life Kris! I won't let you scare me anymore." Snapped Bra.
"Oh, poor Bra. How did I ruin you life? Are you too scared to date anyone? Afraid the next man you go out with is going to be bad news? Afraid the man you go out with is going to care less about you than I did?" Kris grabbed her wrists tightly and pulled her back towards him. Bra had the look of sheer, unadulterated fear in her eyes, "Let me tell you something. You're a good lay and that's about it. You were so worthless to me and you're worthless to everyone you know now. You should just give up your pointless job at your mommy's company and sell your body on the street. You should just give up on having your happy normal life, because it will never happen. I told you I loved you to make you stay. But, I still can't figure out why I wanted you to stay. Oh, that's right, you could cook, you could clean, and you were great in bed. Which you had to be coaxed into that too, nothing a little fist power couldn't handle." Kris brushed his fist lightly over the cheek Bra had her original bruise on.
"Let go of me!" yelled Bra. Kris noticed that the restaurant manager was walking towards them and decided to let go of her. As soon as Kris released her, Bra quickly grabbed her purse and ran out of the restaurant. However, no more than two seconds after Bra ran out of the diner Kris ran out after her. He quickly caught up with her and once again took a hold on her wrist. Bra screamed and struggled to get away from him, but he pulled her into the alleyway next to them. Once in the alley, Kris slammed Bra against the wall.
"What do you want from me?" screamed Bra, "I'm not your property anymore."
"Thank the gods for that," Seethed Kris, "but I'm not finished talking to you."
"Well I'm done." Snapped Bra as she tired to get away from him again. Kris slapped Bra across the face.
"What have I told you? Don't you ever try and walk away from me when I'm talking to you." Said Kris. Bra turned her head so she would not have to look at the evil man in front of her as she started to cry. "Awe, did I make you cry? You baby. This is the reason you will spend you entire life alone. No one could ever love you. You're worthless, completely worthless." Kris released Bra and she dropped to the ground. "Just remember how worthless you are when you leave here." Kris leaned over and whispered in her ear. With that Kris left Bra crying in the alley.
Bra stayed in the alley for a good half-hour before she finally got up. As soon as she stood up she began to shake and sweat again.
'He's right. I am worthless. I'll never get over this. I'm too weak.' Bra thought as she walked out of the alley. Tears streaming down her face, Bra took to the sky and flew over to the south side.
Once on the south end, Bra didn't really know what to do.
"I can't go back to Rei's, but I need something to make me stop shaking. Once I stop shaking maybe I'll be able to think about what I can do." Said Bra to herself, still crying. She walked down the street and eventually stopped in front of a hole in the wall liquor store. She wiped the tears from her face as she looked at the store. She walked into the store and got out her credit card and drivers license.
"Hi." Said Bra to the store clerk; "Can I have a magnum of Jack, please."
"Sure, I just need to see your id." Said the store clerk. Bra handed the man her id and credit card as he took the bottle off the shelf behind him. She paid for her poison and left the store. As soon as she left the store she opened the bottle and began to drink from it.
"Not the best stuff, but I'm sure it will do the job." Smirked Bra.
It had been a couple hours since Bra bought the whisky. She had been walking and drinking for those two hours. In her drunken state she didn't even notice that she wasn't even in civilization anymore and that she had wondered into a forest. Bra was too drunk too care. She walked past a pond; she could hear the sounds of nature.
"I wonder where I am." Said Bra as she took off her shoes and threw them into the pond and took a huge swig out of her bottle. "Oh well, it doesn't matter. I've stopped shaking and sweating." Bra continued on her journey into the forest and continued to drink.
Meanwhile, back at Capsule Corp., it was well past midnight. Bulma had fallen asleep on the couch and Vegeta was just coming out of the gravity room.
"Woman!" yelled Vegeta from the kitchen. She did not respond. "Woman!" he yelled once more. When she didn't respond a second time he walked into the living room to find her asleep. In his few tender moments, he leaned down and kissed her on the forehead, which instantly woke her up.
"Hi." Smiled a half-asleep Bulma.
"Hi yourself. If you're so tired, why don't you go to bed?" asked Vegeta.
"Oh I was waiting for Bra to get back. I must have fallen asleep waiting for her." Said Bulma.
"Is she back?" asked Vegeta, somewhat concerned.
"She should be. I don't know why she wouldn't be." Said Bulma standing up and stretching.
"I'll go check, in the mean time, make me some food." Said Vegeta as he walked up stairs. Vegeta walked up the stairs. Bra bedroom door was open. He peered into her room and found her not there. "WOMAN!" he yelled, "SHE'S NOT IN HER ROOM!" Bulma ran from the kitchen to the bottom of the stairs.
"What! Where could she be?" worried Bulma, "Can you sense her?"
"She's not on the property." Said Vegeta walking down the stairs. He tried to pick up her Ki. "I'm having a hard time with her Ki. It's lower than usual and it's dropping, so I can't place where she is."
"What?" shrieked Bulma?
"Calm down, I'm going to find her." Said Vegeta as he opened the door.
"I'm calling Goku to help you." Said Bulma.
"I don't need the help of that third class baka to help me find my daughter." Snapped Vegeta.
"Veggie-Chan, shut up, I'm calling Goku, he's going to help you, and that is final." Snapped back Bulma.
"Fine, what ever." With that Vegeta took to the sky. Bulma ran into the kitchen and called Goku. The phone rang.
"Hello." Said a raspy voice on the other end.
"Hi, ChiChi. It's Bulma, I'm so sorry to wake you, but I need to talk to Goku."
"Sure, hold on." Said ChiChi. ChiChi woke up Goku and he got on the line.
"Bulma, what's wrong? Its quarter to one." Mumbled Goku.
"I know and I'm sorry, but we can't find Bra. Vegeta's already left to look for her, but he said he can feel her Ki, but he can't sense where it's coming from. Please help him look for her."
"I'm on it, I'll get Goten to come with me." said Goku.
"Oh thank you, Goku." Cried Bulma.
"Don't worry, we'll find her." Said Goku as he hung up the phone. Goku got out of bed and quickly put on his typical Orange gear.
"What's going on Goku?" asked ChiChi.
"Bra's gone missing. Bulma wants me to help Vegeta find her, I'm waking Goten to come with me." said Goku. Goku walked out of his room and into Goten's. "Goten, wake up."
"What?" mumbled Goten.
"Get up, Bra's missing. Vegeta can't find her." With those words Goten flew out of bed and put on some clothes and ran out the door with Goku.
It was a Friday night when Bra decided she needed to get out of the house. Bra walked down the stairs wearing a red tank top and a pair of black cotton pants. She walked into the kitchen where Bulma had just placed Vegeta's "snack" on the table for him.
