Something To Hold Onto
chapter one: So it Starts Here
"Washu? Where are you?" Ryoko sighed. It was hopeless trying to find Washu in a big lab like that. Most of the time Ryoko would stay as far away as possible from her mother's lab, not daring to step foot inside. The only reason she was here now was because Tenchi asked her to get Washu For lunch.
"Washu!!!!!!!!!!! If you want lunch I suggest you answer me!" Ryoko frowned, knowing there would be no answer she turned to leave. Just then she saw something that intrigued her. Something she knew would make Washu angry if she caught her messing with it.
That something was Washu's dimension changer. 'Hmmmm.
So this must be that new invention Washu keeps bragging about. I wonder what it does...*mental snicker* Only one way to find out.'
Ryoko began pressing buttons, hoping one would turn it on. The screen flashed on. 'Okay! Now we're getting somewhere!' she paused for a second to look at the screen. It appeared to be on but, there was not picture. She again started pressing buttons randomly until, finally, she saw what looked like a fallen city. The buildings were in pieces, cars were flipped upside down with the windows knocked out of them, and the streets were completely empty.
Ryoko heard a door open somewhere. Assuming it was Washu, she franticly searched for the off button. She suddenly felt herself rise and being sucked into the machine. She fought against it with all her will, but it was no use; she was pulled into a world of darkness.
*~*Into the World of Darkness*~*
A young man of the age of 19 was sitting alone on a park bench. He had long lavender hair, blue eyes, and he was, altogether, very attractive. He seemed to lost in thought as the droplets of rain began to hit his back.
He was snapped back into reality when the booming thunder started. He sighed and stood up. Very slowly he started to walk home. As he left the park he noticed something in the shadows. Walking over to it he realized that that something was human.
*~*About thirty min. Later*~*
Trunks was now flying through the rain as the wind chapped his face and whistled through his hair. He carried a stranger in his arms. A stranger with cyan hair and a beautiful face.
He now arrived at his house. He could see the living room light on and his mother asleep on the couch. He produced house key and unlocked the door.
The TV volume was up all the way. Trunks walked into the living room and turned of the TV
"Trunks *yawn* is that you? *yawn*" Bulma sat up and looked at Trunks, "why are you wet? And who is that?" Bulma asked pointing to the girl in Trunks's arms.
"I don't know-I found her in the park and... It was raining..." Trunks managed to stamper.
The girl shivered as her eyes fluttered open. 'What the HELL?!!!!!Where am I? What happened?'
Bulma noticed a scared look on the girl's face."Are you okay?" Bulma blurted out. She just sat there staring at Bulma."ahhhhh....I guess I'm okay. My name is Ryoko-where the hell am I?" Ryoko said in confusion as she realized she was in the arms of a stranger.Ryoko looked at his face and just for a moment their eyes seemed to meet.
"My name is Bulma, this is my son,Trunks. Are you sure your okay? You don't look so good. Trunks, why don't you take her up stairs to one of the spare bed rooms while I make her some hot food." And with that Bulma went into the kitchen to prepare some food.
Trunks began to feel awkward holding her. "Do you think you can walk?" Trunks asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah, sure."
He led her up stairs and down a long hallway. They stopped at a open door.
"This will be your room -if you need anything my room is over there." He said pointing to a door a little further down the hall,"Your clothes are wet. I'll tell my mom to bring you some."
Ryoko was still not completely awake. 'This has to be a dream! Wake up!' she nodded her head and he told her would be back soon.
She walked into the room flicked switch on. She was amazed at the size of the room. There was a huge canopy bed with a black and silver bed spread and a sheer silver material draped so that you would have to push it back to get into bed. There was a big fire place on the wall opposite the bed. A little in table sat next to the bed with a nice little lamp sitting on top of it.
She opened a door that led into a nice bathroom with a shower and a huge bath tub.
She then approached another door and opened it. A nice lace black night gown hung on a hanger. It was long and silky. She took it off the hanger and peeled off her wet cold clothes and slipped it on.
Then she crossed the room to the bed and pulled back the sheets.
'Why are they being so nice to me? Why am I lying here in this bed when I only know their names? I'm to tiered to think about this.'
Her eyes shut and she fell asleep.
She dreamed of a familiar flower field she had once seen before. A man she loved but only in a dreams he felt the same way.
He was holding her and telling her all the things she needed to hear.
"Tenchi. Is all that your saying true?"
"Yes, of course. I will always love you." He said inching his face toward hers until she could feel him breathing.
Just as their lips met she woke up.
'Damn it! Why does it always happen right before we kiss?' Ryoko thought as she sat up in bed.
It was already morning and the sun was shinning through a window and lighting up the whole room.
She noticed a dress on the end of her bed. It was a long black strapless dress. She got out of bed and changed before she went down stairs.
"Good morning! I see my old dress fits you. I would have gave you something more comfy but that's all i could find in your size. You must be starving by now! I would have brought you some food last night but when I came up you were already asleep." Bulma said.
Ryoko walked over to the couch where Bulma was sitting and sat down beside her. "It fits great. I am very hungry." Ryoko said with a yawn.
"I'll fix you something to eat soon. Where do you live? If its near by i can have Trunks take you before he goes to work."
"I don't live around here, I don't think I do.... The last thing I remember was being in Washu's lab......" Ryoko sighed it was going to be hard to explain everything to her.
So she started with how she met Tenchi and ended with why she was in Washu's lab that afternoon. But Bulma didn't seem to be surprised by any of this.
"You must be from a different dimension....that's what it sounds like to me...I could be wrong...but your welcome to stay with us until we get it all figured out." Bulma said.
Ryoko thanked her and Bulma started taking about how she was going to take Ryoko shopping for some new clothes.
"You really don't have to......"
"Well you only have that dress and what you were wearing and we don't know how long you are going to be here." Bulma said.
Ryoko knew she wouldn't take no for a answer so she agreed.
Trunks walked in and said good morning. 'She looks great in that dress....I wonder if she has a boyfriend....' Trunks thought to himself.
Bulma told him that Ryoko would be staying with them for a little while until she could figure out how to get home.
