THE SCARS OF GODDESSES – Ch.1: A Demon
Disclaimer: I don't own anything Tenchi, AIC and Pioneer do…note: this will be my
ONLY disclaimer for the whole story, and I won't put it on every chapter, b/c I've gotten
tired of doing that! *^-^*
Note: This will be a multi part story, so this is not it! It is very serious, so the characters
might seem a little ooc. But I hope not. Enjoy, and please review!
The Masaki house was finally in silence. Everyone was asleep…except Ryoko.
She smothered her sobs with her hands. "You demonic slut…" So, she had finally said it.
The one thing that had been burdening Ayeka's chest was finally out—and it hit Ryoko
like a bullet. The scene kept on racing through her mind.
It was their worst fight yet…it was more like a battle. This time they felt strong
hate for each other burning deep in their hearts. More then they had ever felt before. Fire
raged in Ayeka's eyes. She stood tall and formed her shield around herself. Ryoko
grasped her sword in one hand and a glowing energy ball in the other. "I hate
you…you…demonic slut!" Ryoko fell back in the air and everything for her seemed to be
silent for that moment. What about it hurt her so bad? No…she didn't say that…she
wouldn't…but she did…why does it hurt so badly? Tears swelled up in Ryoko's eyes as
she looked around. Both her weapons faded out of her hands. "No! Im not a demon! No!
Im not!" Ryoko felt she was going into hysterics. She turned to Tenchi. "Tenchi…am I
a demon to you?" Tenchi didn't answer. He just stared at her. He was angry. Even
more than Ryoko had ever seen him. "Tenchi!?" He still stared at her. His eyes were
flaming with rage. "Fine! But I am not a demon!" She spun around as tears dripped
from her eyes and she disappeared from sight.
And now she was here. It had to be at least 2 in the morning. "I never want to
see that princess again…" she whispered. "Or Ten-…Tenchi…" She knew she was
lying to herself. She wouldn't be able to bear life with out him. He was the only thing
keeping her on this small, desolate planet.
Ryoko used the silence as her only friend, a sole crutch to rest her feelings on for
the time being. Ryoko heard the gentle closing of a door from upstairs. Some one was
quietly walking down the stairs and was yawning. Ryoko knew that yawn without even
seeing it's owner. It was Tenchi. Half of Ryoko wanted to smile…and the other half
wanted to cry and destroy the controller of her heartache: Tenchi. "But I still love ya
Tenchi…" Ryoko smiled as she whispered gently into the still air. Tenchi walked right
underneath the ceiling beam Ryoko was sitting on, no even realizing she was there. As
his form disappeared into the dark of the kitchen, Ryoko could feel her emotions begin to
stir. Tenchi returned and yawned again, holding a glass of water in his hand. Ryoko
couldn't contain it any longer as her emotions erupted through her heart. She stared
down at him as tears began to grow furiously in her eyes. Was she really just a demon to
him? Was he still angry? She leapt at the half sleeping Tenchi and grabbed hold of him
tight.
"Ryoko, what!?" Tenchi yelled as Ryoko snapped him out of his sleeping zombie
like self, causing him to spill half his glass.
"Tenchi I need you to tell me right now!" She buried her head into his shoulder
as she cried. "Am I really just a demon to you? Is that really how you see me?"
Tenchi didn't move he just stood there. "Ryoko…I…I can't answer that…"
"Why not!? Don't you love me Tenchi?"
"Well…" Tenchi paused.
"Answer me, Tenchi! Who do you love, me or Ayeka?"
"I can't answer all these questions!" Tenchi was getting frustrated and pushed
Ryoko off of him.
"You can Tenchi, you just won't!"
Tenchi stared at her. "I like you both the same!"
"You don't, Tenchi, and you know it!" Ryoko whipped around and leapt into the
air and disappeared before she hit the ceiling.
"Ryoko…" Tenchi whispered. He looked at the floor. There were tear marks
where Ryoko had just stood. Ryoko was really crying that hard.
"Can you forgive me…Tenchi?" Ryoko reappeared behind Tenchi, her head was
hung low and her hair created a shadow over her eyes. "For what happened today?"
Tenchi stared at her. Maybe he was at a loss of words, or maybe he didn't want to
say anything.
"Tenchi please!! I need to know…I need to know…if…you…hate...me…"
"Ryoko! I don't hate you!"
"But you don't care for me! Not even as a friend anymore! I'm just…just a
demon to you, aren't I!? Aren't I?!" She lifted up her head and stared Tenchi strait in the
eyes. He didn't budge. "Fine!" Ryoko disappeared.
Tenchi felt doubt…doubt that his mind was made up in the wrong way. Was it?
No. He had been talking with grandfather for so long. He was making the right
decision…or was he?
"Good day, Washu…"
Washu spun around on her heels at the sound of that voice. "How did you get
here!?" Her words came out in stutters due to fear.
"This is not the real me, but only a temporary astral body created by D3." Tokimi
gazed around the dimly lit laboratory. Everwhere there were flashes of some random
machine.
"I know you don't do house calls, so why are you here?" Washu said, regaining
her composure.
"Something heavy is descending upon the dimension of the goddesses. I am the
only whole goddess and I cannot stop it on my own. There is no way…except…"
"The legion?"
Tokimi nodded. "But Sasami has not grown into her true form yet…and, you-"
"Have denounced my powers." Washu looked down to the floor.
"Why? Why did you leave us?"
"I couldn't stand that place any longer! My dream was to study science and learn
all the knowledge I could."
"And give up the position of a goddess, and know and have everything you heart
desires?!"
"I wanted to make my own path, instead of being given it."
"Washu, you don't know the true life of a goddess. It's not that easy. You've
never seen the hardships like I have, younger sister. You've never had the responsibility
I've had. Sometimes I feel being a goddess is worse than holding all the sufferings of
mortals. Where are your gems, Washu?"
Washu was uneasy on the words of this question. "They belong to Ryoko, now."
"Ryoko? You fool. I once thought she would be the glorified daughter of the
once goddess Washu, but now I pity her for what tragic fate you have bestowed upon
her."
It was dark. Very dark and Sasami feel victim to its bleakness. Her stomach
started to hurt and she became cold and weak and fell to the floor. "Help me, Tsunami!"
"Sasami…Sasami! I will no longer be with you, a new age is arriving."
"Where are you, Tsunami?"
"Don't worry, I am with you…"
Sasami's eyes sprung open. Her face was wet with sweat and her breath full of
fear. Slowly she got up and began walking down the stairs. She walked transfixed in her
thoughts and her mind set on what had to be done: see Tsunami.
Tenchi was on the floor, staring at the teardrops that Ryoko had left behind for
him. Why? Why hadn't they disappeared after all this time? For a second, he thought it
was solely because she was a demon, and maybe their tears didn't dry so easily. He
shook the thought out of his mind as he himself was on the verge of tears. Did Tenchi
truly feel that Ryoko was a demon? Is that how he really felt? He fell flat on his back
and stared up at the ceiling beam Ryoko always sat on. A tear streamed down his cheek.
What was going on? His insides were churning between intense anger and guilt. What
had he done? What had he created? He was becoming a monster that was tearing up all
the girls' hearts.
The gentle padded footsteps of Sasami made its way down where Tenchi laid in a
twisted torment of his self. Her quiet sobs were enough to divert her from Tenchi, and
she made her way quietly outside. Tenchi meekly wiped away his tears, as he caught
sight of her. As she left the Masaki house, she began to glow.
"Sasami?" Tenchi whispered.
"Tenchi." Sasami looked to Tenchi. "Please, follow me! I don't know what's
happening to me!! Please!" Sasami cried out as tears raced down the scared little girl's
cheeks. "I can't stop walking and I don't know where I'm going! Please Tenchi, help
me!"
Tenchi jumped up and raced to Sasami as she continued walking out into the dark
of night. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her back, but she just floated
though his grasp as if a ghost. "Sasami…I, I don't know what to do." Tenchi looked at
her, as she seemed to float above the ground as she headed down towards the lake.
"Please…follow…me…" Sasami choked out as if something was preventing her
to speak. "Please!"
