Love of the Savior
Chapter one
"Ryoko, can you help me out with the field work today?" Asked Tenchi Masaki, a young man of 17. He had just walked out into his yard and saw the blue-haired woman laying on the roof of his father's dream house.
"Sure thing, Tenchi" It was another quiet day. Ryoko vowed to spend it with Tenchi; and she would do what ever he asked of her. She had planned so many wonderful things. They would go for a walk, she would help him in the field, and she planned to persuade him to dinner somewhere. Such a good day she had in store!
But back to the story…
"Like this, Tenchi?" Ryoko pulled a dirty carrot out of the ground and looked to Tenchi.
"Yes! Good job, Ryoko!" he answered happily. She blushed at his praise. Tenchi was teaching Ryoko all about how to work in the field.
It was actually very fun, but then again, everything was fun when she did it with Tenchi. She followed him with a ho, intently watching how to work it.
She saw the sun setting, the calm orange-red putting her in a cool, serene mood.
"Tenchi, what's say you and me go some place nice and eat huh?" asked Ryoko hopefully. It would be the perfect end to her day.
"That sounds like a really nice plan, Ryoko!"
She clasped her hands and held them up to her chin, gasping in happiness and surprise.
"Really, Tenchi?!" seh exclaimed.
"Sure. Let's just drop off today's haul first and we'll be off! I'll be right back, ok? You stay right here."
"Alright!" He ran off, leaving Ryoko to think about how amazing her night with Tenchi would be.
She thought about how great the food would be, simply because she would be with him. She thought about things to talk about, like the field work or just how nice the day was.
*THUD* Her thoughts were cut off by a loud noise. She turned to see a young boy had fallen, and was on the verge of passing out. She teleported to him right away and turned him over.
A beautiful woman, with sky blue hair and topaz eyes was the last thing the boy saw before falling unconscious.
Ryoko, not one to leave someone to die, picked him up and flew back. She didn't see Tenchi, which let her know that he hadn't left yet. She entered the front door by phasing through. She headed right towards her room and laid him down.
"Tenchi! Washu!" Tenchi and Washu both hurried into Ryoko's room.
"What's happened?" asked Washu, panting a little due to running to the room all the way from the lab.
"I don't know. I just heard a thud and I saw him on the ground." She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked back to see Tenchi, his warm, dark eyes looking at her gently and full of happiness.
"I'm proud of you, Ryoko."
"Tenchi…." She looked at him, her eyes engulfed in a loving stare.
"It doesn't look good." Interrupted Washu. "He's pretty beat up. His wounds look bad and his heart rate is slow. We have to get him to the lab."
They took him there, and for a reason unknown to her, Ryoko stayed with the boy all night. Taking him in made Tenchi proud of her, so she decided she just wanted to make sure he was alright.
"He'll be fine-"
"WAGH! Don't sneak up on me like that!" She looked at Washu angrily. Her teeth bared.
"Heehee! You should keep your guard up, Ryoko." Washu was snickering. "But anyway, he'll be fine. You can go to bed."
"Will he, Washu?" asked Ryoko, not looking away from the young boy, her eyes narrowed in a sad demeanor.
"Would the greatest Genius in the Universe lie to you?" she boomed.
Ryoko didn't answer. Her eyes were still rested on the unconcious youth on the table in front of her.
"Everything will be alright. I promise. Now get some sleep." said Washu softly.
"…Alright." Ryoko teleported out of the lab.
Washu looked at the boy. His brown hair all in a mess. Her analysis showed he was approximately six-teen years old. "I hope I don't have to break that promise, Young one.
