Chapter 2 - Pool of Tears
The large Saiya-jin that had grabbed her had black spiky hair that fell past his knees. He was dressed in the custom Saiya-jin armor and a scouter covered half his face. "Well I'll be," he muttered, "Two birds with one stone." In his other hand he held Gokuu up by his throat.
"Gokuu," Buruma cried.
The Saiya-jin growled, "Quiet onna, if you don't wanna hurt yourself or your friend here." He shook Gokuu and grabbed Buruma by the back of her shirt. Luckily she was dressed in rags that hid her shapely body and covered with caked dirt from the lack of clean water. He looked back at Gokuu. "Well little brother, it looks like we have finally found you. You may be able to run, but you can't hide from your Saiya-jin heritage." He snarled as Buruma bit into the arm that held her. "You bitch! You must learn to respect your superior." He knocked the back of her head and she was out cold.

She was falling, and falling quickly down a deep well. 'Down the rabbit hole I go,' she thought. All around her were animate and inanimate objects. A grandfather clock tick-tocked past her -no- she passed it. Deeper she fell with each breath. She caught glimpse of herself in a full-length mirror as she floated by. In it she saw herself, but she was different somehow. She looked happy. Her reflection smiled at her and gave her a wink.
Buruma cried out as she hit the floor with a jolt. She stood, unharmed. She saw Gokuu run past her, mumbling something about being late. "Wait!" she yelled as she ran after him.
He ran through a small door, slamming it shut after he did so. Buruma ran up to the door, but it was much too small to fit her much taller frame. "No," she cried. 'All is lost. I am lost. He was my last hope.' Tears fell from her crystal blue eyes, falling to the ground silently. She curled into a ball and continued to cry for all her sorrow. As she cried, her frame began to shrink to that of her childhood years, before the Saiya-jins came to Chikyuu, when she lived young and carefree.
Little Buruma dried her tears and faced the door. She was now the right size to fit. She crawled through to the other side. She followed the path until she was running circles. She was running with many others, all trying to forget their grief and suffering, running to get away from it all. Buruma tripped and fell to the ground with a thud.

Buruma was abruptly awakened with a quick start. She had been in the same cell for weeks now. She had figured she was aboard the Saiya-jins ship. She groaned and rubbed the back of her neck. She stood up and walked to the front of her cell to look down the hall.
"What do you think you are doing?" A short, chubby Saiya-jin asked from outside Buruma's cell.
"I just want to know where I am is all." Buruma stated with a frown.
"Who are you to be asking questions, darling?" Another Saiya-jin popped out of nowhere, he looked exactly like the other Saiya-jin.
Buruma raised an eyebrow, "Are you both twins?"
"What's it to you?" They said in unison. "You won't last long on Vejita-sei if you keep asking so many questions." Said one of the twins.
Buruma gasped, "We are heading towards Vejita-sei?! What about Gokuu, where is he?"
They snarled. The Saiya-jin she first spoke to answered her question, "He is in the medical wing. He was beaten pretty badly when he defied Radditzu. If he doesn't wanna side with us, then he will be enslaved or killed, depending on the prince's mood."
"What is going to happen to me?" Buruma asked.
"That is for the prince to decide," Said the other, "He will figure out your. uses. Enjoy it here, we'll be landing on Vejita-sei in a few hours." They laughed together.
She took a step back away from the crooning Saiya-jins and to the back wall of her cell. 'My uses?' she cringed at the thought. 'With the way these Saiya-jins act I fear what their prince will be like.' She sat against the wall, leaning her head back. With nothing else to do, she slept, maybe her dreams would hold the answer.
The large Saiya-jin that had grabbed her had black spiky hair that fell past his knees. He was dressed in the custom Saiya-jin armor and a scouter covered half his face. "Well I'll be," he muttered, "Two birds with one stone." In his other hand he held Gokuu up by his throat.
