Ara's PoV

Ugh... Wha..what the hell happened?..

Kid! Run! Run and don't come back for me!!

No!! I'm not leaving you --- !!

Kid just do it!! I'll be ok! I promise! Just go home!!

What the fuck was so heavy?..I went to move but something was on me. I growled.

"Infernum!" I shouted as i formed the blast in my hand and let it go. It turned what ever was in me to ash. I sneezed and coughed a bit. A large pain in my chest formed but I ignored it.

I brushed the dust off me and looked around.

Huh.. I wonder where dad i-

"Brat!!"

Found him..

"What the fuck did you blow up the damn gravity room for?!" He yelled at me. I didn't answer as my tail flicked in annoyance.

Dad growled. "Inside now !!" He yelled at me.

I obeyed but stayed silent. What the fuck was wrong with me?...

---!!

Who ever the hell that is I can't remember their name... Probably just a horrible nightmare.

I went inside only to be tackled into a hug by my mom.

"My poor baby girl!.. I was worried sick! I came and saw you weren't in your bed and then I saw the gravity room explode and... Honey your hurt" she said as I felt her brush her thumb along my cheek. It stung so bad that pushed her away. I saw blood was in her thumb.

"Mom I'm f-" I tried to tell her bud I was suddenly shoved aside my dad. I glared at him.

"Vegeta? What happened ?!" My mother asked frantically.

"Nothing happened woman" dad replied with a scowl.

"Vegeta! Our child is hurt and sick! She could have died and this is your reaction! I can't believe y..." Mom yelled at him but I zoned out ignoring her and dads screaming. I glanced out the window.

I should be leaving now. I glanced back.

So kid... What are your parents like?

They're really nice but.. They argue a lot.. I..it scares me..

Still arguing huh?... I shook my head.

I Instant transmissioned to goku's house. atleast I won't be yelled at for being myself here...

Goku's PoV

"Why do I have to be like this again?" I asked chichi.

She'd made me stand in the garden in my super saiyan form for some sort of photo.

"I thought it would be sweet if you looked a bit like ara.. Now where has Gohan gone?" She asked.

I shrugged.

Gohan's PoV

I sat at the front of the house with my nose buried in a book. I hadn't heard from ara in a while and I was a bit paranoid.

Suddenly I heard the faint sound of someone landing on the grass in front of me.

They clicked there tongue and I felt them look at me.

"I thought you hated studying bro" they commented.

"Ara?.." I mutters curiously as I look of to see my sister towering over me. I smiled. I stood up and wrapped my arms around her and spun her around.

She laughed. "Put me down Gohan!" She screamed.

"Nope! Not letting go of my baby sis!" I yelled back as I continued to spin. She smirked.

I felt her tail Ho around one of my legs making me fall over. We both fell on the grass and laughed.

"Your a prick.." Ara muttered.

I laughed a bit. "Love you to. Your gi's inside by the way" I told her.

"Thanks bud" she said before getting up and going inside. I shook my head and returned to my book.

Ara's pov

I ran inside and grabbed my gi off the chair. Damn I forgot how heavy they were. I put them on and looked around. I saw an aura of light coming from the garden. I peeked through the door.

I smirked. He was just standing there in the open.

"Well I may aswell take a photo of you and not put this to good use. Smile Goku!" Chichi said happily.

Three.. Two.. One! I teleported beside Goku and tackled him. I heard the camera click midway.

"Ara! We thought you weren't coming!" Goku said happily.

"You really think I'd miss a chance to train with my awesome uncle?! Hell no!" I yelled happily.

I got up. "Hi chichi!" I waved a bit at her and she smiled back nervously.

"Hello sweetie" she said. "Are you sure you don't want to stay here?" She asked.

"Sorry. I really need to train for the Tornament! I promise I'll help you make dinner next time ok?" I asked chichi. My tail swaying behind me. 

She sighed and nodded. "Thanks!"

Goku's PoV

I smiled to see Ara so happy. I guess they haven't told her or trunks yet.. She did look a bit pale and her cheeks were flushed if I'm honest.

Just remember what Vegeta said Goku... Keep her away for as long as I can.

"Well you coming or not?" I asked Ara, putting up the most optimistic smile I could muster. And she seemed to fall for it.

"Yeah! Where are we going anyways?" She asked.

"Huh?.. Oh! We're going to the lookout with piccolo, he's offered to help us " I said.

-are you two coming or not?- piccolo asked.

"Awesome! Let's go!" Ara yelled happily as she grabbed my hand.

-be right there- I told him. I looked at ara with a smile. She smiled back and I now only noticed a slit on her cheek. Oh no..

Flash back

Bulma cried into Vegeta's chest as he tried to comfort her.

"Calm down... We'll find her" he said.

It had been three months since ara went missing. Gohan had taken Goten & trunks out so they wouldn't have to see this. Chichi was at the police station and everyone else was searching for her.

I look at small bloody piece of cloth in my hand. It was the only thing they'd found of her. It was apart of the shirt I'd given her for her birthday.

-Goku! We found her!!!- krillin shouted.

"What?!" I accidently yelled outloud.

"Kakerot! Why the hell are you shouting?!" Vegeta yelled at me.

"They found her!!" I yelled back smiling in relief.

"What?!" Vegeta and Bulma said in disbelief looking at me in shock.

-we're coming back now!- krillin told me.

Suddenly him, 18, piccolo, Tien and Yamcha appeared in the room. Ara's frail form curled up in piccolo's arms.

I got closer to see her eyes were wide open. She was injured so badly I swore she was alive. The only thing that told me she was was the small rise and fall of her chest as she breathed.

I took her into my arms to get a better look. Tears stained her cheeks and her pupils were shrunk as her eyes were lit up with fear. She was muttering under her breath.

I glanced up at piccolo. He nodded.

"It's for the best Goku. What ever happened she doesn't deserve to remember " he said.

I said and nodded. Ara...forgive me

Suddenly I felt someone shake me.

End of flashback

"Goku? Goku?!" Ara yelled at me.

"Wha.." I muttered snapping out of my daze. We were at the look out and piccolo was scowling at me.

"You ok?" She asked. I glanced at her curious look. The image of her being fragile and broken famished by my eyes for a moment before I smiled and put my arm around her.

"I'm fine Ara. Now come on! Let's train!" I said happily. Her tail swayed happily and she nodded.

I'm sorry..
