A.N.: This is like 2 chapters put in one so it may be kind of long. It's the trip there and the council meeting it's self. The story is taking a bit long to get started and I'm sorry but it will be worth while once I get into the true plot this is going to be a long tale so please sit tight and pay close attention, most of the details in here are really needed and some of the details are just kind of me. Well anyway this is a long side note sorry for that too, but hope you like it. Please R&R.
Choices
Gohan returned as he said he would, with a friend. I removed the tattered sweater allowing Gohan to study my choice of garb for the meeting, a part of denim jeans flared at the bottom with a tan leather belt with whip- looking strings hanging off of it. For my top I had on a black long sleeve shirt that hung low in the font and had basically no back save for a few strings holding it tight, the front hung down to my knees, making up for the lack of cloth else where.
Gohan tried to hide his smile as he looked at his friends face, but he didn't do a very good job of it.
"This is Krillin," He said to me, with a minor laugh in his voice, "She has a minor case of amnesia." He stated to Krillin.
Minor I thought quietly, major was perhaps a better word for it.
"Krillin's the name." Krillin held his hand out to me.
"I have no name, but you could call me by any name you could possibly come up with if you'd like." I said turning to the bookshelves. "While I don't remember any of my past, I found my memory is quite good, which can be proven by the fact that I could recite most of these books back to you."
Gohan gave in and openly laughed at Krillin's amazement, "I suppose we should be heading to the meeting about now." He said looking down to his watch.
We headed outside, as I was looking at the sky and the surrounding area the boys started to fly Gohan grabbed me into his arms and flew beside Krillin toward the guardians tower. The only way to get there was to fly and with Gohan and Krillin even weighed down the going was fast.
As we entered Gohan turned to me, "Stay here until I call for you. I don't know how this is going to go." He whispered and moved me into the shadows next to the doorway to the council meeting. I listened carefully for my queue or some idea of what was going to happen to me.
"Sorry we're late," Gohan said addressing the council, specifically the leader at the head of the table.
"Just because your Kakorot son does not permit you to call a foolish meeting and then insult your own emergency by being late." Another man beside the first said in a hostile voice. He wore a blue outfit almost skin tight with a black belt. A woman and what seemed to me to be a teenage boy stood behind him, each resting a hand on the backing of his chair.
"Call me Goku, remember Vageta? Now lets get on with this meeting." Goku said with authority also allowing me to get my bearings on who was who.
Goku was wearing a red outfit looser fitting than Vageta's and more earthly looking. Both men had jet black hair that stood upright, Goku's however stood at angles in three main parts, Vageta's was one straight up hair do.
"Well…" Gohan started getting everyone's attention including my own, I had no clue how he was going to explain this one. At the silence stirred by his voice he continued, "We all know that Mt. Centras was destroyed last summer. What most of us don't know is what was found at the scene in the debris." Gohan turned toward Krillin for support; he received a nod of encouragement. "A girl was in the field nearby, I came upon her and took her in until she was healed and now awake. She has a slight case of amnesia and cannot remember her name or age. Yet her intelligence is startling. She has read every book in my basement in under 2 days."
"Why do you speak to us about a bright little girl and you called this an emergency." Vageta interrupted with added attitude to what seemed his usual.
"She obviously came form the mountain and when I first found her… her wounds were beginning to heal themselves. She seems to have the namekian trait of self healing." Gohan started to become uneasily trying to make his point, my mind started to rush with nervousness that seemed more his than mine.
"The namekian trait is of regenerating limbs, not healing cuts." A green man wearing large white robes sitting beside Krillin put in without a tone or attitude to go off of. His emotion seemed almost completely hidden for that matter.
"Yes, Piccolo, but it is odd none the less and should be investigated." Gohan added coming to his point. "Just see her." Gohan pleaded. "There is something special I can't place. All I ask is that we help her until her memory comes back."
"Why should we help this child? Next thing you know the boy will ask us to take in orphans." Vageta added aggressively, ruining Gohan's point and halted Gohan's speak.
My mind came to a brick wall what would they do with me. They didn't even know I was here and the conversation had already turned ill. I started racing through ideas on how to help Gohan. Then suddenly it hit me. It was deviously evil, but I had no choice Gohan was finally at a loss for words and his case was stumbling badly, thanks greatly to Vageta, who seemed to actually have it out for him.
I grabbed the light switch next to me and moved to the table while the lights remained out. I could hear them already searching for the switch I had left behind me. Some how I managed to already know the out lay of the room and moved with startling grace to stand before the council atop their table.
As the lights sprung to life the silence hit my ears as everyone in the council looked at me in shock.
Gohan rushed to my side, "This is her," he stammered
Vageta rose at my presence. My hand vibrated with pain, as my fingers seemed to turn to metal. I quickly focus in on them with my mind and the pain went, for the majority, away.
"You brought her here." Vageta said with outrage nearly growling toward Gohan. This caused Krillin to rise and the woman with the blue hair behind Vageta moved her hand to Vageta's shoulder.
Goku's interest seemed to have become greater. "We should keep watch over her."
My skin prickled at his words.
Shake his hand, a voice called through my mind.
I put my hand toward Goku, he immediately assumed I needed help off of the table and held his hand out to me. As our hands touched a metal piece exited my ring finger and touched the palm of his hand, creating a large bright light covering the whole room. No one but Goku and I really saw the reason for this light all the others saw was a light erupting from my hand touching Goku's.
In this light I saw the power of Goku enter my body, but leave my blood. I cannot explain it any different and I regret not knowing the words, but it's like his energy flowed through me suddenly untied form it's genetic material that normally would have been held me tied to him in a type of father-daughter position.
Goku helped me down and I walked over to Gohan. Vageta glared at me from the other side of Gohan's shoulder. "I'll watch her."
"It's settled then. We'll keep watch on her as she stays with the Briefs." Goku announce concluding the meeting and walking over to his son.
"Father, do you think this wise?" Gohan whispered to Goku as I walked away from him and over to Vageta, still keeping my silence.
"I think she'll be fine and anyways we'll still keep watch on her in case of any moves her makes toward her." Goku replied, causing a knot in my stomach as I realize of dangerous this Vageta character could actually be.
"We will keep a better eye on her then they will. She could be dangerous for all they know. Luckily they picked someone strong to watch her, someone who will take action if necessary." I heard Vageta whisper to his wife as I walked up.
Vageta turned and walked out as I got closer and I guessed that was the sign to follow him. The girl with the blue hair that had been standing behind Vageta the whole time and I figured was his wife, followed beside me. "I'm Bulma," she said, "If you need anything I'll help you."
"Thank you," I whispered back.
