Heidi:  "Still don't own DBZ…  Tho I'd like to, but I don't.  Besides, I can't even draw like they do…  Oh well…  ^_^  My life is perfectly happy not owning DBZ…  Okay, almost perfect…  I think…"

Chapter 2

[Goku's POV]

     "Gohan!!  Are you crazy??"

     I covered my sensitive ears to my wife's shrill yell at our eldest son.  He had come home, carrying a badly injured girl.  I tried to go back to eating as the argument continued.

     "But Mom!!  It's my duty to protect citizens of the city!!  She was about to be raped!!"

     "I don't care!!  Haven't you seen the news?!?  She's murdered people!!"

     "Then why didn't she kill me?"

     "Baka!  She's hurt, that's why!!"

     "She was hurt because of some stupid sickos out on the street!!"

     Then there was silence.  I hungrily finished the rest of the sandwiches.  Walking back to my own room, I saw that the girl had been laid on my bed.  Chi-Chi was there, reluctantly putting bandages on the girl.

     She seemed to be about fifteen years old.  I then sensed her ki.  She was strong.  But that wasn't what surprised me from what I felt.  It was a dark power.  Locked away inside her.  Well, was supposedly locked away…

     My wife finished bandaging up the girl and stood up and walked toward me.  "Goku, could you keep an eye on her?  I need to run some errands…  Gohan's in his room studying and Goten should be home soon from Capsule Corp. soon."

     I nodded.  "Sure.  Just don't take too long…" I said and kissed her on the cheek.

     "Okay, I should be back soon!" Chi-Chi said and left.

     I walked over to the bed and pulled up a chair next to it.  I sat down and stared at the still form.  I sat there for minutes, watching the rise and fall of the girl's chest.  I knew she was strong, and I wondered what would happen when she woke up.  Unfortunately, I didn't have much time to ponder more; I was about to get my answer.

     The girl groaned and her eyes fluttered open.  She quickly sat up only to wince in pain from the wound in her back.  I put my hands on her shoulders and pushed her back down into the bed.

     "You gotta rest…" I said quietly.

     The girl stared deep into my eyes.  I looked into hers and saw fear.  She was afraid of something.  What?

     "W-who a-are you?" she stammered.  Then her eyes darted about the room.  "Where am I?  How did I get here??"

     "It'll be alright.  My son saved you and brought you home.  I'm Goku.  What's your name?"

Heidi:  "Sorry it's kinda short…  I got an email of a review alert, so I continued writing…  Most of the chapters are going to be short, but very good.  I'm glad it's turning out well.  Sorry if Goku or any other characters are out of character…  The role play that I've been working on with my friend has really screwed my brain up, and I don't exactly watch DBZ on TV anymore…  And no.  If you've read this and the role play I've posted, I don't have a crush on Goku.  Anyways, review please…  I wanna know what you guys think.  And sorry about the first chapter.  I made it so that you guys would understand some things about Heidi.  ^_^ so if you want the next chappie out, gimme reviews!  Or else!  Okay?"

Next Chapter preview:
Heidi struggles against Goku…  She doesn't want to tell him her name, her secret, and tries to leave…  But hey, who can blame her?  She does…
