The metalic sound of feet on metal rang in Chi Chi's ears. Someone was approaching. The small dark metal room, was cool and bare. The last word that came to Chi Chi's mind to describe this place was comfortable. Her bed was nothing more than a mat. Of what was in the thin fabric, Chi Chi did not know. It didn't matter, whatever it was, was no better than sleeping on the bare metal floor.
The door flew open and light poured into the small room. Chi chi turned and shieled her eyes from the light.

"Ahhh, so you are awake" The voice was plan with no edge of sympaty to what Chi chi could tell. This wasnt a person coming to rescue her...it was a person that had... the thought stopped in her mind. She never wanted to think of that night again. She hoped the baby...

"Look at me witch when i am talking to you!" This time the voice was full of anger.
Chi chi turned to the figure, but couldnt distinguse his fitures, only that he was a man. The light seemed to flow around him, making it impossible to see his face.

"Who are-"
"I will tell you when you may ask questions for now, i only come to inform." the words seem to hiss from his lips as if he was angry trying to talk to a bad puppy. "For now, you will get dressed"

Chi chi frowned. With a loud thud, a pile of cloths hit her. Dressed? Chi chi could see a little bit, but... she realized she was naked. Using the cloths to cover her she blushed. No wonder the floor had been so cold.

Chi chi felt a sudden burst of anger."Show some respect! Turn around and let me get dressed!"

The man huffed, "Respect, monkey? That is something you will never get. Back than and now!" Chi chi could feel his eyes on her, even if she couldnt see him. It was cold...it felt like hatred. The glare made her feel small. She wished Goku where here to...

"I SAID GET DRESSED, AND I MEAN IT NOW!" The shout echoed in the small room, Chi Chi had to cover her ears. "Now hurry up, master will not wait long. I am surpised he has kept you alive this long. If it were me, i would have gotten rid of you a long time ago." The man spit at her feet.
Defeat ran through Chi Chi. How could she take him? She wasn't even sure where she was. Whatever he was...the thought occured to her. Monkey? I am not a monkey... Chi Chi frowned.

"Why did you call-"
"Stop these useless questions! My master will tell you what you need to know and nothing more. Now if you dont get dressed. I will kill you right now on the spot."
A shiver ran up Chi Chi's spine. The way he said it wasnt a threat, it was a promise. How could someone have so much hate... Chi Chi started to get dress. Her eyes had come some what adaptable, enough to see that she had no bruises. Relief flooded through her. She couldn't remember anything after those ...things...came into her home.

"Its about time witch, now follow me"
Chi chi frowned and stepped into the light...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everything seem to flood into her at once. The light, the colors and walls. It felt like she hadn't seen in days. Everything was one big blur. Images swirled as her brain tried to figure out what they were. Slowly things started to materielize and come into view.
The outline of the walls became visable, wherever she was, was some sort of hall. It seemed long and thick going off in both directions. With countless doors on both sides.

"If you are wondering where you are, you can stop guessing. Its the guest rooms" the way he said guess rooms seemed somewhat of a mockery. With a short laugh he started off down the hall.
His back was in view. Whoever he was, was well built. The way he walked, was like he was on a cloud. A sort of grace like a swan on water. Chi chi growled, what was she doing. This was a man that had her captured. Not just a man, but a monster.

"So I take it you want to die now?" Chi chi glanced up to see that he was staring at her from a ways down the hall. His face.. it can't be. Whatever she thought it was to far to tell of his faceal features. When she walked faster to catch up, he had already turned around and started down the hall again. What was such the big rush? One thing for sure, whoever this "master" was, was not a person this man wanted to keep waiting.


The man lead her through hallways that seemed to go in every direction. One big maze, Chi Chi thought. Did this man know where he was going? It seemed that they had been walking for serveral minutes. The hallways had not changed, still plain white and little furnishing. She lost count of how many doors she seen while walking. To many she thought. Whatever they where to, was not anywhere out of this horrid place.

Suddenly the man stopped in front of a door at the end of one of the hallways. This was the time to see his face... before she could step in front of him. He seemed to fling the door open in his haste, almost knocking Chi Chi down.

She could hear a growl from him through the door. "Lets go!"

Sighing she backed around the door into the ...new hallway? This hallway however was painted what seemed red and went from right to left. This one was very plan with nothing to it. Except for the color she could have sworn it was like being in the "guest rooms." Another hallway the same color ran out stright from the door, as if an extension of the old hallway. It had picture frames holding what Chi Chi through abstract art was furnished all along certain parts of the wall. Randomly placed chairs where placed along the sides. The chairs looked somewhat brass? The metal looked foreign to her. Chi chi guessed that the chairs were there to view the pictures. But why this hallway? Where was she?

"Where-"
The man was glaring at her from aways down the left side of the hallway. Shadows seemed to be covering his face from this distance. Without saying a word, he turned and started down the hallway. A sudden thought hit Chi chi, why was the man in such haste? She could easly not follow.. and go into another hallway. How long before he would notice?
She stepped to go into the hallway stright from the door with the pictures.

"I wouldn't do that if i were you" a call came from the hallway the man had went. "We have your scent, and if i am not within thirty feet of you. They will kill you on the spot. I envie the one that finds you." Chi chi thought she heard a small laugh, but wasn't sure.

Who was they? A shiver went down Chi Chi's spine. Could it be those creatures from that night? She turned and hasty walked to gain some ground that she had lost in her thinking, between her and the man. Whatever it was, she didn't want those "things" hunting her, so she will stay in his little circle for now. Until she could figure out how to escape. Escape? The word seemed strange. She didnt even know where she was...

The man had stopped again, this time at a connecting prependicual hallway that ran right to left from the direction she was facing. The hallway she was in, seemed to end into a golden door. The door was gold worked with diamonds around its frame. This must be it.. She could see the man's face now.

She gasped, it was what she thought. His hair was as white as snow and his eyes were an icy blue. She shievered to think what was behind those staring eyes. They seem to be a void of what she thought to be hate and anger, but the rest of his face showed no indication of these emotions. The way his hair was spikey reminded her a little of goku. He was covered in armor that appeared to be made of silver, with markings she had no clue meant. One symbol in the middle of his breast plate looked like a moon that was in the process of breaking and falling into some planet. Chi Chi frowned in thought, but the moment passed.

If it wasn't for his odd color hair he could pass as a human on earth. Maybe he wasn't a man, he looked someone of an adolence. Chi chi frowned again, she couldn't tell, by his deep voice she had passed him off as a man. This race seem to be as if they were human too, but they way they carried themselves seemed...

His glare never left his face, "This door" he started, "Leads into my master's office. A word to the wise, don't make him mad" A smirk came over his face "he is the only reason you are alive. The rest of us, would like to see you die a slow death, witch."

Witch!? If this were her son she would slap him until he would think again of speaking this way to a lady. The nerve of this boy! Anger filled her, how could some treat her like this. "You listen here boy--"

"Boy? Watch to whom you speak women" He seem to be laughing to himself, more than he was to her. "I would be third in command on this ship. Age has no factor in our society, only the level of which he reaches through his learnings. Unlike your muscle bound race of idiots! We will make you pay for--" He seem to stop in mid-thought as if remebering something.
Before Chi Chi could answer with a heatly reply, the boy or whatever he was opened the door. Quickly entering, leaving Chi Chi in the hall.

"That boy! He..." A feeling of dread ran through her. Chi chi could feel the hair on the back of her neck rise. Something was in the hall with her. It seemed empty? Looking in all directions, Chi chi scanned for anything that moved. Nothing.
A sudden howl came from her left, down a red hallway. Chi chi turned to face the sound, whatever it was, was down this hall. The feeling of fear and dread in her seemed to be rising every passing moment. Where was it? There was nothing in this hall, she could have sworn the thing was right next to her ... something gribbed her arm. Chi chi screamed. The force was sharp and hard pulling her in through the door.

"Stupid woman! What did I tell you about being to far from me?! Not that i would like to see those demons fight over your body! I have a duty and no matter how much i disagree with master i will make sure it is carred out!" Chi chi shook her head. She realized the boy was beside her, gribbing her arm hard. Chi chi squealed in pain. The boy held on a moment longer before letting go.

"That hurt!" Chi chi growled
The boy laughed, "Better a little arm pain, than getting your whole body torn apart. Once in the trance of those bloody hounds's howl, one doesn't surive long" Chi chi shivered at the thought of whatever those things were, waiting outside in the hall for her.

She noticed the room she was in. It seemed very quite and peaceful. Some plants she didn't regonize hung on the walls. Bookcases with foriegn objects placed in different parts or the bookcase. The color seemed to be some what a soft blue on the walls. For such a downward place, this room was actiualy quite pleasant.
The boy moved to the back of the room, towards a brown door. It wasn't anything as the door outside leading into the small room. Yet was just as grand, but not from the material it was made out of, but from the artwork that was craved into it. He slowly opened it and stuck his head in side. Chi chi couldn't make out what the boy was saying to whoever was in there, but by the sound of his voice, the boy sounded serious. Suddenly he pulled back and closed the door a bit, but not completely.

"Follow me" Was all he said before dissappearing into the next room.
Chi chi put her hands into a fist and proceed to the door, whoever this "master" was she was going to give him a piece of her mind. She had delt with the strongest people in the universe, one being her husband. And she wasn't just about to be pushed around by this...

She froze, this room was nothing like any of the other rooms she had been in. It seemed to go about sixthy feet to the back of the room and fifthy feet across. Somewhat of a small jungle! A waterfall falling down on rocks was surrounded by various plants that ranged from the bottom of the wall and scaled upward to the cieling at the back of the room. The side walls were filled of pictures of maps and animals Chi chi had never seen people.
Her eyes focused on the wooden table in the center of the room. Up a step from the level she was on, it laid on soft carpet. A man sat quitely standing some papers in front of him. From this distance all Chi chi could reagonize was his snow white hair. To her left stood the boy that had taken her here. He seem to stand as stiff as a board.

"Here she is my lord" His face was as hard as stone.

"Yes yes, I see that Barlan, Did you have trouble getting her here? I was expecting you ten minutes ago"

Barlan coughed, "It was harder than i thought to wake her up"

The man seem to ignored Barlan, as if he had not spoken. "Are there any other reports that I need to be informed of Barlan? If not you may go."

"No sir, but--"

"You may go, Barlan" Was all the man said.

"But, sir. Shouldn't we pin up the hounds there isn't really any--"

"Do you question me Barlan? I know of others who would like your postion."

Barlan went as white as his hair. "No sir. That is all" Barlen turned quickly and was gone.


Chi chi stood in silence. She had thought of all these things to tell this man, but now that she was in his presence, all she could draw was a blank. His voice in the conversation with Barlan was one of power and command. It made even the bad mouth Barlan shake in his shoes. Chi chi shivered. She suddenly wanted to be back in the cold cell and as far away from this man as possibl...

"So you are finally here" The voice seemed different than before...Somewhat pleasant. But how? He slowly put the papers away from him on his desk.

"Come" Was all he said and gestured to the chair in front of the wooden table.

Slowly walking to the desk, she stared at the man. What trick was this? A man who had ordered her taken from her home agaist her will. Had to be someone that was evil and mistrustworthy. The man slowly backed his chair away from the table and stood up. The way he did every move was as much grace as any king. He made Barlan look as if a child of two.
Chi chi sat down in the chair. To her surpise it was actualy quite comfortable. With one graceful sweep, he picked up a golden cup and put it to his mouth.

When he was finished he laid it down. With one hand he gestured to a cup to Chi Chi's right. "Are you thirsty? You have to be. Being in that cell for three days now."

Chi Chi nearly fell out of her chair. Three days! The worry for the baby resurfaced as Chi chi became near panic.

"My baby, wh--" Was all Chi chi could get out.

"Your baby is fine, Chi Chi." The man quickly added. "You may have been unconsious, but we have made sure that you were given the proper nutrients to survie. Even that thing inside of you"

Chi chi's mouth fell open. How did he know her name? It almost made her sick on what else this man knew.

"Why if you hate my baby so much.. that you didn't get rid of it when i was unconsious." Chi chi almost threw up from the words she had just said. The thought of losing Goku's...

"You mean kill? We do not lower ourselves to a Saiyan's level."

"I am not a Saiyan!"

A smile came over the man's face "I know that Chi Chi"

"Than why did Barlan--"

"Barlan is a fool. The only reason he got that position is because of his father." For the first time since she had met that men his face became disgusted, "I have a bad feeling about Barlan, he lets his emotions get to him. That will lead to that boys downfall." The man sighed. "But enough of Barlan. Back to the issue at hand."

Chi chi could only stare. What did this man plan to do. If he was not going to kill her?

"What do you want from me" Was all Chi chi could manage to get out, while she was trying to crasp what this man wanted.

A soft smile came to his lips, "Come, We have much to talk about"
