D*I*S*C*L*A*I*M*E*R I do not, will not, and can not, own Dragon Ball Z. It is owned by Akira Toriyama.

** LEI "Well done Zarbon.I was just looking for some new female slaves." The figure in the throne stood up to go inspect the new 'slaves'. The blonde one involuntarily twitched real quickly in her sleep, mumbling.

The 'figure' sweatdropped. "You were occupied with them that long? What did you do, kill them, if they annoyed you so? Maybe they didn't please you, then again-"

Zarbon faltered, then quickly interrupted his master, "No, no not like.. like that my Lord. It's just well, I don't really know, though they did talk a lot of nonsense, I'd like to know how they got on this ship with out myself-"

"Or me, seeing the pair. I see your point Zarbon." He said thoughtfully then sat in his throne again.

"Yes, my Lord. What shall I do with them?."

"Don't be rude Zarbon. Awaken our new 'guests' and let's introduce ourselves." The 'thing', whatever he was, demanded.

"But sire they a-"

"Do you dare go against me!?" 'thing' questioned.

". Of course not." Zarbon walked towards the two and prodded them with the end of his boot each, just enough so that they would wake.

"Oh. not yet. nope.. nope I have to sleep.." Michiko mumbled and curled up.

Lei meanwhile sat up drowsily. " Jeez, did any one catch the number of that train.?" she slowly opened her eyes.

"Train?" Zarbon questioned.

She looked up. "It wasn't a dream.I see. What saga is it?"

"Saga?" 'thing' questioned.

Michiko sat up at that. "Woah, woah, scratch it out! Oh wait, I mean oh."

(A/N: In our LangArts class, a guy named Austin, whenever he's called on, he says " Scratch it out!" as if he doesn't know what's going on )

Both Michiko and Lei turned to look at 'thing' and at once together "Frieza." Flat simple, though it got the basic point across, they were in some deep, deep, to be blunt, trouble.

'Thing' smirked at his name. "I see you know me, looks as though you've met Zarbon and-"

"Oh kuso!' Michiko whispered seriously quiet.

"Aye, shinmatta!" Lei agreed.

They both were now standing to face the now also standing Frieza. Who in fact was amazingly short compared to them.

Michiko couldn't stand it. When Lei and herself were little, Lei had a big issue how Michiko was always taller than she was. Eventually it blew over, but it was still an issue at points, the littlest things even. So Michiko began to laugh at the irony, that such a feared tyrant was shorter than herself and probably half his men. ** MICHIKO

She continued to laugh at the self-explained joke. Freiza looked towards Zarbon with a scowling yet amused face as if to say: "What is she laughing at?" Lei just looked nervously at her friend, and tried to calm her down some. Michiko was just starting to get over the joke when Freiza said "What is so funny to you?", which of course, started the laughter again. Freiza was getting tired of this laugh-fest.

"QUIET!" Freiza commanded at Michiko. She stopped laughing instantly and looked frightfully serious at Freiza. Lei moved closer to her friend not only for her protection, but that of Michiko. Freiza walked a few steps towards the general direction of the girls.

"I want to know who you are, where you're from, and how you got into this ship. Now" The harsh words sharply left the lips of Freiza. Lei stood as is she were a statue. Michiko on the other hand, cautiously approached Freiza. She was now an arm length away from him.

"I am Michiko Sauke." She gestured towards Lei. "This is my friend Lei Agati"

"Excuse me! You don't tell him my name if you don't have permission!" Lei stated in an as-matter-of-fact tone.

Michiko made an apology nod before continuing. She looked back at Freiza, who stood there as before, except with a victory smirk on. " My frie-" Lei cleared her throat. "Excuse me.I come from the planet Earth."

"That still doesn't tell me how you got here" Freiza said in an annoyed tone.

"Yes, I realize that. To tell you the truth, I really have no clue how I got here."

Freiza looked over at Zarbon, who gave a shrug. Michiko continued, "One minute I was riding in a plane-"

"Plane?" Zarbon asked amused.

"Let the girl speak Zarbon." Freiza said.

"I was heading to someplace important and something happened to the pla- I mean vehicle, I was riding in, and everything just blacked out. The next time I woke up, I was in the corridor." She pointed to the corridor. At this point in time, Lei got anxious enough to join Michiko. ** LEI

"And we met up with blue-bell here. Michiko, I think you and I have said enough let's go!"

"But- But!" Michiko complained as Lei dragged her once again towards the door.

"You dare to leave!" Frieza angrily yelled. Though before he could do anything to prevent their exit, a solider, whom was VERY tall, ran in.

He immediately bowed to Frieza then sputtered his words. "My-my-my l-l-ord the prince! He has just arrived and demands an audience, Radditz is distracting him."

("And this my Prince, is you running naked around the royal kitchens, trying to get out of a bath. Oh here, is you saying your first words! I believe Nappa told me it was a-"

"Please Radditz. no... no more pictures!!!!!!!!!!")(A/n: I couldn't resist!)

Lei took this as their chance to leave and so did. As soon as they had gotten a good ways a way in silence from that room, it began. "Kami Michiko! Don't you understand? That is Frieza! Allow me to spell it." Lei said as she continued to degrade Michiko, "You're so stupid. 'My, my name is Michiko, why don't you just go ahead and blow me up! Here just read this card my momm-' " Pow! Michiko sent a swift punch, hitting Lei's temple dead on.

"Eat dirt Lei! Cause that's what you are!" Michiko screamed as tears gushed out and she took down a corridor only to disappear from her sight.

Lei sank to her knees rubbing the bump on her head, it hurt, though not as much physically as mentally. Lei had done it, feeling scared, and insecure in their new surroundings, took her anger amplified out on her only hope to help escape.

Michiko took anything said to her to heart. As a person in general she had deep, and very sensitive feelings to those close to her. And probably to have her best friend in a situation just as scary do that could be bad.

Wherever she ran, Lei just hoped she would remain safe, and they could get out of here. Even if it was the place of her dreams, it may become a nightmare. ** MICHIKO

Michiko sat down on the floor of the corridor. She was crying softly to herself. Her soft golden bangs covered her sad blue eyes.

(Lei) Lei stood in the corridor as she saw Michiko run off.

She had run away from Lei for about 10 minutes. She now rested in a crevasse in a new corridor, one that was just as confusing as the last. She stood up, crying still.

"Pull yourself together Michiko" She whispered to herself. "Whether you like it or not, you have to get Charlie and Lei out of here." She stopped crying, and wiped her damp face with a pale hand. She looked out from her crevasse, and checked to see if anyone was coming. She saw that no one was, so she darted down the hallway in silence. 'Ok.now all I have to do is find Charlie and Lei.. and a way out of here.' She thought to herself as she walked off.

She had reached, what it seemed to be, a meeting area. She quickly darted behind the corner again because she was not the only one to be in that room. In fact, there were hundreds, no thousands, of people in that room. She peeked around the corner. The first thing she noticed was all the tails that were attached to the people's backside.

"Tails." She said unconsciously. She looked around the room and found a very large platform at the opposite side of the room. She took a closer look at it and saw that Freiza, the tall guard she had seen earlier, a short man that the guard seemed to be protecting, and the biggest shock of all, Lei. She had chains on her ankles, wrists, and one on her neck.

Michiko started to growl lowly. But before anyone could hear her, Freiza started talking.

"You're probably wondering why I gathered all of you right now." There were mumbled agreements in the crowd.

Freiza presented Lei. "This girl-"

"Woman." Lei corrected. "I'm no girl." Michiko smirked at her friends' feistiness.

Freiza continued as if he hadn't heard"-has been trespassing with a comrade on our ship. I am here to give you orders to catch the other girl and bring her to me, alive. If you have a little patience left, we'll get a description out of our 'friend' here."

Freiza looked at Lei. "Tell me.tell us what your accomplice looks like."

"Never." Lei said with a half growl, half whispering voice. Freiza tightened the grip on her neck chain, which somewhat strangled Lei. "Never." Lei still said. Freiza was none the less getting annoyed of Lei's resistance. He tightened the chain even more, nearly choking Lei.

At this point in time, Michiko couldn't take it any more. Not only did she not like people like Freiza, but what also really got her steamed was the treatment of her best friend. With an angry yell, Michiko literally flew over the audience of saiyins, landing perfect on both feet on the stage. In midair something had happened, and Michiko was transformed. She paid no attention to it right now though, because she was concentrated on getting her friend free.

With one swift slice of a beautiful sword, Lei was free not only from Freiza's grasp, but also the chains with a threatening grip on her neck. Lei dropped to her knees, panting due to lack of air. When she had caught her breath, she stood up and looked solemnly at her friend. ** LEI Untouched feelings dwelled in Lei's eyes, only Michiko would know. "Domo Arigato. Michiko-sama." Lei held the highest respect for her friend.

Michiko now in battalion-gear of some sort nodded then smiled. "Not so formal, but hurry, we have yet to leave." Grabbing Lei's hand she darted through the ruckus of warriors.

"I think were on Planet Vegeta!" Lei shouted as they darted out the door.

"Planet VEGETA?"

"Shhh, not so LOUD!"

"Oh look who's being loud NOW!" Michiko countered.

"Michiko you infuriate me but- AH Michiko watch out!!!" Lei cried as one of the warriors caught Michiko in a choke-hold.

Like before with Michiko without out warning something happened and Lei changed. Grabbing a whip at her hip she let it slice in the air, point blank hitting the captor of Michiko, without hitting her.

Michiko, slipped out as in surprise where Lei's whip had marked across his eye, the warrior stood dumbfounded as blood seeped from the new wound.

Too anxious to get away, the girls took off towards the nearest exit, before they could discuss the matter in which they were.

End of Chapter 2: Don't hurt my Friend!

So, how'd you enjoy the second chapter? I'll never know if you peeps don't review, so please do. I guess you could say the friends since kindergarten are having a bit of a rough spot right now, but again, they always pull trough for each other. *sniff* Ah, the miracle of friendship. I hope you can tell I'm the writer for Michiko, because I happen to be ditzy at the moments.even though I'm like that all the time, BUT! More chapters on the way.
