~ An- Well, I've have finally posted a chapter. I know that it's been....well a VERY long time, and to tell you all the truth, I wasn't even planning to continue. But then I finished one of my Lord of The Rings fics, a found myself with nothing to do. Also, I found the book I had originally written this in, and after reading some of it for the first time in what seemed like forever, I realized something inside me really wanted to put these chapters up. Probably because the first time this was up, its time was cut short by two chapters....So enough of my rambling, here's the first chapter ~

Disclaimer- Never have, don't and will never own.

Chapter one

Opening her raven colored eyes, Chichi rolled onto her side. Beside her, was another slave named Kelly. Suddenly, the memory of what day it was caused Chichi to wince.

~ The day I'm sold. Again. ~

Sadly, the girl rose from the cold, hard floor into a sitting position. She glanced around at all the people who had helped raise her since she had been taken from her home eleven years ago. Chichi felt a wave of sadness travel through her. ~ I can't believe they're going to just sell me like this! I've always been a good enough slave! Why me? ~

Not wanting to wallow on self-pity anymore, Chichi waited silently for the heavy footsteps of her master to sound from the hall outside her door. She waited for the loud bang that would sound on the heavy oak door that would tell them all that they had to move. She waited for the time when she would have to work.

~ Damn Sayijins! Why couldn't they have left Earth alone?! We could never have defeated them ourselves! Even IF we had known hey were coming! ~

These thoughts had been running through Chichi's mind for eleven years. Ever since that last moment before she had been bought, and ripped away from her two best friends, the only two people she had even known. She had only been a scared little girl, wanting her dad and friends. The other, older slaves had taken care of her and helped ease the pain of losing all she loved. Yet now she was being ripped away from them too. It wasn't fair!

Chichi's ear picked up the thundering of loud footsteps from outside the door. She turned to Kelly, the girl who slept beside her, and whispered down to the younger girl. " Wake up! He's coming!"

Kelly stirred and sat up just as there was a loud pounding on the door and then moments later if flung open. Their master screamed at them all, and the ones who weren't on their feet right away, were hauled away to be whipped for being lazy.

" You!" he pointed suddenly to Chichi, " Come now!"

Without uttering a word, Chichi walked sadly behind him. She cast one sad last glance at all the others around her, who were looking at her leave with sad eyes. She hung her head and walked on silently.

. . . . . .

The whip lashed across 18's swollen and unprotected back, causing pain to rip through her body. Unwilling to give her owner the satisfaction of her cries of pain, 18 clenched her teeth together.

~ I WILL NOT cry out! I WILL NOT! ~

When her punishment was finally over, 18's back stung like crazy, and she could barely stand up from the pain.

" That will teach you to be insolent towards me wench!" The angry Sayijin growled at her.

Clenching her teeth to stop from responding, 18 held back her anger and listened to her 'master' speak.

" You're being sold at the market today wench. I'm sick of your intolerance. Hopefully the next master you get will be able to beat respect into you!"

A slight smirk settled on 18's beautiful features. ~ Finally, I'll be rid of this Baka! ~

Pain suddenly traveled through 18 again as the Sayijin's fist slammed into her stomach. She let out a little gasp of pain, but then shut her mouth, unwilling to show weakness.

" Don't think I didn't see that smirk!" The Sayijin sneered.

18 had the urge to talk back, but her master cut her off.

" Get moving now! You're leaving in two minutes for the capital city!"

18 straightened herself up and walked behind her master, silently cursing him.

. . . . . .

Bulma's anger started to boil. ~ Keep calm Bulma! Don't do anything that will get you killed! You're out of here in an hour! ~

" Movie it slave! Get those boxes out of her now!" The female Sayijin screamed at Bulma.

~ Kami damn witch! ~

Bulma lifted one of the boxes and started to slowly down the hall. Suddenly, the weight of the boxes gave out from under her, and she toppled forward. She hit the ground, her chin bouncing painfully off the floor. The contents of the box clattered and rolled all over the hallway.

Out of nowhere, a foot slammed into her side, sending her into a nearby wall. Her back hit the wall, sending shock waves of pain up her spine.

" Stupid slave! I knew I never should have bought you! You're worthless! You piece of trash! It's a good thing that I'm selling you today or I'd kill you right here!" The angry Sayijin female shouted and stormed down the hall.
Bulma, who still lay crumpled on the floor, moaned in pain and rolled on to her side.

For the first time in about ten years, Bulma cried. She cried for her former planet, cried for her race and cried for herself.

~ Stop it! Don't cry! You're leaving soon, and you never know, your next master might not be as tough. ~

Bulma laughed out loud as the last thought entered her mind. ~ A nice Sayijin! Ha, that'll be the day! ~

With tears of pain still brimming in her eyes, Bulma picked up the things that had scattered out of the box. By the time she was finished, it was time to leave for the slave market.

. . . . . .

On the high hill over looking the capital city, sat the royal palace.

This was the home of the royal family and royal guards. The most powerful Sayijins alive lived there. In fact, the three most powerful were there. Kakkrot, the most powerful Sayijin, Prince Vegeta and Krillin. The three, weather or not they knew it, were best friends.

That day, the three were assigned to retrieve new slaves for the palace. Grumbling replies, the three flew down to the slave market.

Thus began the changing of history.
