Another short one. I apologize. I plan for my fics to get somewhat longer, though.

Disclaimer: Except for the new character, which I made up, I own nothing in this and am not getting paid for it either.

A/N: My character's name is pronounced: Ay-sha. Just thought you should know. -Nods-

Chapter 2 - Aisha

"YOU STUPID, LITTLE BRAT! Grrr, just WAIT until I catch you. You're DEAD!", yelled Dodoria as he struggled with the horrible burning sensation in his eyes.

The culprit had already fled the scene, not wanting to be around when Dodo brain regained his sight. She knew if Dodoria caught her, she'd really be in for it.

As she ran on tiny, bare feet, she giggled as she pictured Dodoria's eyes, red and still stinging from the cleaning solution.

-Flashback-
She'd been washing the walls, as Frieza instructed, when Dodoria started picking with her. He called her names, insulted her, and kicked her around while doing so. One of his kicks managed to knock her across the floor, right in front of the bucket she'd been using to dip her rag in.

The water inside was mixed with a strong cleaning solution for the walls and was dirty as well. She slowly sat up on her knees and began to reach for the rag when Dodoria walked up behind her. As soon as she felt his hot breath on her neck, she grabbed the bucket and threw the water in his face.

Her aim was perfect and the water got into his eyes just like she planned. The dirt and the cleaning solution started to go to work instantly, and Dodo's eyes were soon burning intensely. They felt like they were literally on fire. And the more he rubbed and squeezed his eyes, the more they burned. That's when he yelled out his threat.
-End Flashback-

The little girl ran as far away as she could, and soon ended up outside. It was terribly cold this night, and what little clothes she had on did nothing to protect her. She huddled beside a bush and shivered. She never knew the winds could be so harsh.

After about five minutes or so, she decided she could no longer stand it and made her way back inside the base.

She was cold, hungry, and tired. She ignored her growling stomach and headed up the stairs to where her room was. Believing she'd outsmarted Dodoria again, she relaxed and entered her room. Before laying down, she reached under her pillow and retrieved a locket. On the front it said: To Aisha. On the inside was a picture of her parents. She stared at the picture, wishing she could've gotten a chance to fully get to know her mom and dad.

Mommy was so pretty, Aisha thought. And daddy was very handsome. If only I'd gotten to know you both.
I would've been the best daughter in the world.

She didn't remember how she got the locket, but she didn't care. It was the only thing she had to remind her of her parents.

She closed the locket and curled up on her bed. Soon, she was asleep and she dreamed of her parents as she often did. In her dream, she was in the arms of her mother, while her father sang to her.

And her furry, brown tail moved about happily.

Ok, now I'd appreciate some reviews. I won't even be picky. Four or five would be wonderful, but I'll settle for just two. At least I'll know someone read it. Tell me what you think. Should I just stop while I'm ahead, or would you like to see what happens next?
I'm currently reviewing chapter 3 to make sure it's ok before I submit it. Something tells me I might have to make some slight changes. Maybe add something.. remove something.. -Shrugs-
