Majin Buu's Forest

Chapter 2:

A sign of hope

By: Baby Kakarott

They felt like it had been months since that fateful day that had landed them in the midst of all the horror. Bulma's hair was longer and they both looked excruciatingly tired. They slept on the ground and ate berries for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They were both quite tired of eating berries. The nights were extremely cold and the days were extremely hot. Bulma and Goku didn't know whether to leave their long sleeves or rip the sleeves off to make short sleeves.

One day as they were picking berries Bulma said "Why isn't there anything else in this whole forest to eat besides berries?"

"I don't know" Goku said, "but I would give anything for a steak."

"So would I" Bulma said. The voice rushed into both of their heads

"You are weak and I have almost taken you."

"Dd did you hear that?" Bulma forced out.

"Y yes" Goku replied.

"I will take you to the deepest part of the forest and leave you there" it said.

"Y you will?" Bulma asked the voice.

"Yes" it said, "as soon as I split your stupid friendship apart."

"You can't split our friendship apart," Goku said. They were both hearing the voice this time. They hadn't yet gotten used to the voice suddenly coming into their heads and it still freaked them out.

"I will find a way," it said.

"I will go to the extremes to split you apart" it said, " You are my biggest challenge yet."

"You can't pull us apart" Goku said, "We can go through anything together."

"Yeah" Bulma agreed.

She came up and hugged Goku to confirm her agreement. Goku hugged her back to emphasize his point.

"You may not think I can, but I will" it said.

"Tell us why you are trying to split us apart" Bulma commanded of the voice.

"Because I need something to do," it replied calmly.

"And I don't want to break my record of any one ever coming out of my forest alive."

"Help" Bulma said, "We're doomed."

"You've got that right" it said, "From the beginning you were doomed."

"Didn't you know that?" it replied.

"No, you sounded like we at least had a chance," Bulma said.

"Well you don't and neither does your friendship," it said. Then the wind came and the voice went away saying, "I will be back."

"It will be back" Bulma said, " and by the way it sounds it will be harder for us to resist it."

"Yeah your probably right" Goku agreed.

Then they set out for a long horrible day of walking. They first came to a huge hole in the ground. It was at least 100 feet to the bottom. There was no way to get across unless they built something over it. But if they did this they risked the chance of falling in the hole and never getting out. They decided to discuss it over a lunch of berries and water. They were very skinny from their diet of forest berries and river water that was boiled over a makeshift fire until all the germs were out. They couldn't trust anything as it was.

"So do you think we should build something to get across?" Bulma asked.

"Yeah I think if we help each other we can make it" Goku replied.

"Yeah I think we can make it too," Bulma said.

Then in Bulma's head the voice rang out for the second time that day.

"You can't make it" the voice said, "that so called friend of yours will just throw you in that hole."

"He will?" Bulma asked.

"Yeah he'll just pretend to be helping you and when your least expecting it he'll just push you off," it said.

Bulma came back to her senses and said, "No he won't, your just trying to split us apart again."

"I will be back," it said as it left and Bulma knew it would be back.

"Was that the voice again?" Goku asked.

"Yes," Bulma said, "Goku I'm scared really scared."

"It's okay to be scared," Goku said as he hugged her close, "I'm scared too."

Bulma hugged him back and said, "Goku we'd better get across that hole or we'll end up staying here all night."

"Yeah, let's go" he said.

They approached the hole and saw a log that was just big enough to fit across it. With their combined strength that they had left they picked up the log and threw it across. Bulma stepped on it to confirm that it was sturdy. It was. Goku and Bulma stepped on it and slowly made their way across together. Then when they got across the log suddenly fell in the hole.

"That was a close one" Goku said.

"Yeah, it was a real close one" Bulma said.

They walked a bit farther and came to a dark cave. They decided that with their previous experience with caves that they would just stay out of it. They walked on. They came to a place where the tree leaves covered the ground. In fact the leaves were close enough to the ground that they got a few big rocks and put them on top of the leaves and they had a little shelter. They gathered some big logs and put them in a pile and made the fire so that they could have some water. Bulma gathered berries while Goku went and found a nearby river and got some water. As they ate dinner they didn't talk much because they were too busy eating.

"Goku what do you think will happen to us?" Bulma asked.

"I think we will get out of this mess together" Goku replied.

"Let's get to bed then," they both said.

They crawled into their little shelter and hugged each other for warmth. They fell asleep in each other's arms and wished that they could stay that way forever. Goku stayed awake a little longer and contemplated his feelings for Bulma versus Chi Chi.

*Now what was Chi Chi doing right then? *

She was having a late night party with all of her friends. She didn't even notice Goku was gone.
