Black Knight of the Dream World
"Wait, please mister, wait for me" Sasami cried as she chased through
the trees, following the white haired man in black armor. "Catch me, and I
will answer your questions" came a very calm, kind voice, the voice of the
man in front of her. "Please, please wait for me big brother, wait" she
called, but in vain. She woke with a start, to a gentle shake of her small
shoulder. "Sasami, what is it?" asked her older sister Ayeka, a concerned
look in her eye. "I saw a strange man, in a forest," she answered. "I tried
to catch him, but he was too fast for me," continued the scared little
girl. "Well, it's all better now, we'll consult with Lord Tenchi at
breakfast".
While eating breakfast, Sasami was unusually quiet. "Sasami, what's
wrong?" Kiyone asked, being always quickest on the uptake. "Well, it was a
dream I had last night," replied the normally cheery girl, as blue as
Kiyone's hair. "A nightmare Sasami?" asked the nice brown haired young man,
Tenchi Masaki. "Well, I was walking through a forest, like the one near the
house" she began quietly, "and in front of me, I saw a strange man, all I
can remember about him was his long white hair--- "White hair?!" broke in
the red haired scientist, Washu. "Yes, he had long white hair that hung
below his waist, almost to the ground" Sasami replied, patiently. "It
couldn't be, it couldn't possibly be him," Washu mumbled under her breath.
"Anyway, I chased the man all through this forest, running as fast as I
could, but I couldn't catch him" Sasami finished. "This is strange, who
could this man be?" Tenchi asked. "Well, whoever it is, if he comes near
this house, I'll blow him out of the water!" Ryoko cried rudely. "Ryoko,
calm down, you wouldn't have a chance against this person" Washu snapped at
her arrogant "daughter". "Little Washu, do you know this mystery man?"
Tenchi asked kindly. "Me? No of course not Tenchi, I'm just guessing" Washu
said quickly and suspiciously. "Uh, are there any noodles left?" asked
Mihoshi, the world's biggest airhead. "Mihoshi, this isn't the time to talk
about food," yelled Kiyone.
"Wait, don't go, please, wait for me, big brother, wait please"
Sasami cried, dreaming once again. "Please calm down, you will know who I
am soon enough young lady, you, and Tsunami" came the mysteriously kind
voice of the man. "Uh! How do you know about Tsunami?" Sasami asked,
suddenly running into the man's back, not having realized that he had
stopped walking. "Tonight, at midnight, meet me at the edge of the lake in
front of the house, and I will reveal what you wish to know.
