Peace Chapter One: It Begins
Click, click, click.
"Washu is the greatest!" A cheered, waving her tiny
metal arms in the air, B soon followed her actions. Washu grinned showing her
white teeth, then is turned into a deep frown. The small puppets looked over
her shoulder and face faulted at what they saw. Then taking the first
precautions of what they had been programmed to do, they both shot out of the
lab to gather the rest of the family into Washu's lab. Soon all of them were
gathered around the red head. She turned around in her red swivel chair to face
them, putting her black holo computer away.
"What is it that you needed us for Little Washu?"
Tenchi asked, prepared to exit the lab in a few seconds notice. His memory
didn't fail him, looking around he made sure that none of her tables were
waiting to strap him down. Not finding any lurking tables he looked at her.
"Don't worry Tenchi I am not trying to get the
sample from you." She said, noticing how he had been looking around. He gave
her a sheepish grin at being caught; to make up for it he moved forward a few
paces.
"Well what did you call us here for Washu?" Ryoko
spat tired of waiting, she had been found on the beam, fighting off a hangover.
Last night she had decided to get a little drunk with some sake she had bought.
It had been fun, but then of course she didn't remember the whole night and was
hoping that she hadn't made a fool over herself. She had finished off four
bottles, in a row. (I am sorry but I don't know HOW much she would have to
drink SO this so just a guess.)
"Do you got any pills for a hang over Washu?"
moaned Ryoko, inching towards her 'mom'. Rolling her eyes Washu handed her
'daughter' a white pill that said Drunk? Reaching out her hand Ryoko
quickly grabbed it. Grinning she thanked her mom and gulped it down. As soon as
it reached her stomach her alcohol induced pains vanished.
"Miss Washu what did you bring us all in her for?"
Ayeke asked, wiping her hands on her kimono, she had been washing the
clothes.
"I have some news about bringing Mayuka back."
Everyone looked at Washu with great interest now, ever since the ordeal with
her they had gotten attached to small child. The little girl had been sweet; of
coarse that was after they found out her REAL story. They had missed her oodles
and wanted her back.
Tenchi said quickly, very excited at the prospect
of getting back his 'daughter "What about it Little Washu, how can we get her
back? What needs to be done?" She stepped from one foot to another as if
deciding whether or not to tell them. After a few seconds she decided to tell
them. Letting out a deep breath she opened her shiny emerald eyes.
"As far as my technology is, I can not for some
reason bring her back. Something in how she was created will not let my
machines let her go any further. I can only recreate the seed, needed to bring
her up. The only thing is that she is a DNA code or else I could do it, the
thing I need is the well a different matter. SO I need a real mom! I need some
one to carry her!" Everyone sweatdropped at this.
Sasami asked," What do you mean Washu?"
Everyone
nodded, looking at the scientist. Washu face faulted at this but quickly
brought her self back up since she needed an immediate answer.
"I need to have some one to have her planted in
her, like how you would normally have a child, only without the intercourse."
"Where is the fun in that?" questioned Ryoko, floating on her back looking on
pretending not to pay attention. Washu sighed at her daughter's actions. Everyone
else sweat dropped at this sentence.
"What I need to know is who is willing to do it?"
Washu said, looking them all in the eyes. They all started think about what it
would be like to have a child. They gave skeptical faces but were thinking it
over. Out of all of them Ryoko stepped forward first.
" I will, I'll be her mother." Ryoko proclaimed,
everyone gasped at this. Shocked that the 'space pirate' would want to
willingly give nativity to a child. Ryoko just grinned at their surprise; she
was Tenchi's and that is all that mattered to her. This is just one way that she could be closer to 'her' Tenchi.
Slipping her arms around Tenchi she whispered something in his ear that made
his nose bleed. Laughing at this she was about to say some more things but was
interrupted before she could bug 'poor little Tenchi' again, much to Ayeke's
relief.
"Sorry you can't Ryoko." Washu informed shaking her
head. Ryoko shook with rage, letting Tenchi go. Then she glared at her 'mom'.
"What do you mean? I can to! I can handle anything
you dish out Washu!"
She shook her head," You
don't understand Ryoko. You can't." Ryoko had by now gotten up in the other
women's face to show that she meant business. Her voice shook with ire, as her
body racked with intensity, like a cat ready to pounce on her prey.
"Want to tell me why pipsqueak?"
"I will but you will have
to understand it has nothing to do with your past uncontrolled actions."
Tenchi asked," Then what is it Little Washu?"
Sighing she let out a deep sigh and Ryoko backed off a little. Then all of them
were sitting in desks, kind of like in the Mass episode, only she didn't create
the professor outfit and project screen. Stacking some papers she looked up to
them with her little spectacles on the end of her nose, barely remaining on her
face.
Washu grinned and answered," It is quiet simple
actually! Yeah see since you and Lady Ayeka fight so much it would be
impossible for you to hold the child. Unless you are able to promise on your
word and keep it that you shall not fight with her or do anything of the kind
then you might be able to hold the child." Ryoko furrowed her eyebrows in deep
thought. Looking over at Tenchi and the back to Washu she shook her head.
"Ok Little Ryoko?" Washu tested, looking at her daughter
seriously.
"Yes, I promise." Ryoko swore, pounding her fist
into her hand.
"Could you also promise Miss Ayeke?" Tenchi
pleaded, looking over in the princess's directions.
"Yes of course I will not fight with her, for you
Lord Tenchi." She promised, nodding her head.
"Good then come with me Little Ryoko. The rest of
you I believe have other things to do today." Washu excused them, heading back
Ayeke assured, "Don't worry about your chores Miss
Ryoko, since you are doing this for Lord Tenchi I shall do them for you."
Ryoko
thrashed her head back to look at Ayeke; her head was bent towards the ground.
Her eyebrows shot up but she let Washu drag her deeper into her lab.
Sasami
and the small cabbit walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner. She got out all
of them ingredient and started to arrange the meal.
Getting
out some vegetables she turned on the sink, splashing some water over them.
Dirt drifted off of them and into the drain part of the sink. Laying them on
the counter she took out a kitchen knife and started to chop them up at top
speed. As she cut them they flew into the pain sitting on the stop. They began
to sizzle with the sauce they created in the pan. As soon as Sasami had
finished chopping them she whisked the contents of it together so that they
barely touched the bottom of the pan to cook.
"Miya?"
"No Ryo-oki you can't have a carrot, I need them to
make dinner tonight."
"Miya. Miya?"
"Yes I am making her favorite. No one explained it
to you did they?"
"Miya."
"Well ya see Ryoko is gonna have a baby! A real one
this time not like what she said when you were hatching. Nope this is going to
be Mayuka, you remember her right? Miya Well Ryoko is gonna help out so
that she can come back! It will be lots of fun when she comes. We can play with
her and finally have that Christmas! Oh my I almost let the vegetables burn.
Guess I should stop talking so much before I ruin dinner and we have to order
in."
"Miya, miya, miya, miya?"
"Oh that's right, I keep forgetting. Well it really
isn't MY fault that those two scared ALL of the delivery people away."
Ayeke went
outside to hand the laundry; she had been cleaning it when 'A' came to get her.
She hadn't gotten a chance to put it up to dry. Kneeling down next to the tank
she pushed her sleeves up. Remembering last time when she had forgotten, it had
been a pain because it was the last shirt she had. They all had gone to a
resort for a while so all of their clothes had been dirty. She still thought
that Ryoko had some how cheated, because she was sure that her paper had said
floors on it. Oh well there had been nothing she could do about it now.
Plunging her arms into the tank she brought out a sheet to hand up. Standing up
she went over to the line. Taking two pins out of her pocket she hung it up on
the thin wire. Walking back over to the tub she pulled out the next sheet. It
had little carrots all over it; Sasami had gotten it from Ryo-oki for Startica.
Smiling at the memory she hung it up gently so that it would dry right. She went
back to the tub and took out the third sheet.
Tenchi
headed out to the fields. He was glad that they were able to solve the problem
for Mayuka so easily. Tenchi was still surprised that it was Ryoko who had
volunteered. But she had some odd bond to the little girl. He thought it had to
do with her not being able to control the things she did while under Kagato's
control. That was it, he had a weird feeling that it was also because that it
was his son. He was very happy that it was Ryoko that was doing this. Not
really sure why he just was. It shocked him when he thought about it, he
wouldn't want any of the other girls to do this for him. Was this because
he…he…loved Ryoko? Could that be the reasons behind these feelings and dreams
he has been having lately. She did help save him from that demon mother of
Mayuka's. She had put her self-respect on the line and said she wouldn't leave
Tenchi's side even though it would mean her death.
Does she
really love me that much? Is the reason that I wanted her to do this and only
her because I love her? Could this really by why? What should I do? What can I
do? If I tell the others and her about it then they would be hurt. Maybe I can
come up with some way of telling her and not hurting the others especially Ayeke,
I think my head hurts.
He finally
reached the carrot field. Taking out the hoe he started to attack the field.
Dirt flew around him, this was never his a chore that he liked; but ever since
the girls came he never seemed to get tired of it. Sure the chore was hard and
at times hurt his hands but over all it gave him time to think over things that
had happened. More and more he seemed to be thinking about Ryoko and her eyes.
It was odd but he just couldn't stop it. That was one clue that finally pointed
it out to him that he Tenchi Misaki was indeed in love with the infamous Space
Pirate Ryoko.
Mihoshi
snored in her space ship; it went around patrolling the Sol system. Kiyone had
to go to headquarters to give them a report. Since they didn't want to have
both of them come they made Kiyone come. Her partner had whined, complained but
she waved goodbye to her. Now she was quietly asleep, well not very quietly she
was snoring extremely loudly now. It roared through the place.
Kiyone
sighed at finally she was away from Mihoshi. It would be a good break. She was
happy that Ryoko was able to carry Mayuka. It was a relief because if it came
down to it she only wanted to carry her husband's child. Which wouldn't be
happening for a long while. She had been dating this one guy at headquarters.
It would be great to see him again. It made her feel so free. She smiled as she
docked at the beacon at the headquarters.
That is all for this chapter. I hope that all you
Ryoko fans out there. PLEASE review. This has been really hard for me to write
so if you want to give me some hints about it. Thanks for reading this!
Peace
