(A/N: Yeah....almost everybody guessed correctly....Umm, oh yeah, I know that the Room of Spirit and Time wouldn't stop it's heavy gravitational pull just because of Dende's death, but work with me here people, I'm seriously running out of ideas for this fic. I mean, I sorta got it outlined and all, but that's about it. Anyhoo, just remember that this is just fiction, and that I know that this wouldn't happen....probably......)

Usagi gave an "Oof" as she landed (or was thrown rather) on the white tile of Kami's Lookout. She gave another "Oof" as she was shoved in a room, and there was a 'click' of a shut door behind her.

"Where....are we..?"

She looked around at the white room. There were two Queen-sized beds, a couple of velvet curtains, and what may be recognized as a food cabinet. Her gaze turned back to Gohan, who was currently out of breath.

"I told you we were going to the Room of Spirit and Time," he replied.

"But what is it?"

He sighed. "A couple of years ago, before SHE killed them, a man named Dende and his assistant Mr. Popo lived here. I really wasn't sure what Mr. Popo was....I never really asked him, but Dende was a Namek. He came from a planet that is long destroyed, very friendly. When he was a few years younger than I am, he was pronounced the God of the Earth. Now, during this time, this room used to defy time itself. One year in here equaled one day out there. You with me so far?"

Usagi shook her head to show that she understood.

Gohan nodded in agreement. "Good. This room was used for training because it's gravity was a thousand times stronger than the rest of the world's. But after Dende died, the room's power seemed to go with it. Now it's just.....a room. But don't worry, Mistress 9 won't find us, that's why I took us here."

Usagi nodded her head a little. Her side that Mistress 9 mauled hurt like hell, even Gohan could notice it.

"Go sit down on one of the beds," he said as more of a command than a statement.

Usa did so, but was a bit worried by his strict tone of voice. Her eyes widened as he started to take off his shirt.

What the Hell does he think he's gonna do?

But her nerves relaxed as she saw that he was beginning to rip it. He was making a temporary bandage for her.

"Here, just lie down," he said, the gentle tone of his voice returning.

Usagi did as she was told. He slowly began to tear her fuku where the blood was seeping through, his eyes meeting hers every few seconds. He carefully began to wrap the shirt-bandage around her abdomen, trying not to hurt her any.

When he was done she gave him a small, weak smile. "Thank you."

He gave a nod. "Welcome."

He turned around and sat on his bed, his back to her. It was then when Usagi noticed something. There was along scar--at least a foot and a half in length--running diagonally across his back.

"Kami, what happened to you?"

She lightly touched it, his muscles tensing up as she did so.

"It's nothing," he said, not turning around to face her.

She inched a little closer to him. "No really, I want to know."

His hair flickered gold for a second. He turned around quickly, fury and frustration in his eyes.

"I said it's NOTHING!!"

Usagi backed away and narrowed her eyebrows. "You don't have to act so angry all the time!! I just wanted to know what happened to you!! I'm sorry I ever cared!!!"

Gohan frowned, he didn't mean to scare her, but he couldn't help it. He hated what had happened...But he knew he would have to tell her eventually.....

"Do you promise what I say right here won't leave this room?"

She bit down on her bottom lip. "Yes."

He looked down. "Alright then. Mistress 9 didn't kill my mother..."

He took both her hands in his, forcing her to look in his eyes.

"....I did."

(A/N: Yeah, waaaaaay too short....oh well....Anyways, Like I said before, I Know that the whole thing with Dende and the Room of Time and Spirit wouldn't happen....but cut me some slack, I couldn't think of anywhere else for them to go where they would be safe. *sigh* Oh yeah, and the whole scar thing, I'll get to that....
