But newhoz...Here's a new story that I thought up in school one day. I've been messing with it ever since. So I've finally got chap. 1 done, so I figured might as well post it b/4 I lost it. I tried doing it with another show, but I figured that it was better with the main show being Tenchi Muyo. But that's not important. I hope you guys enjoy this story. R&R plz! Until then, Ja!
P.s. Just to let you all know, I added names from other shows I like. So incase you began to wonder, now you know. And the Ryo that's in here isn't from Digimon or Ronin Warriors or what ever other show the name may come from. I just really liked the name, so I decided to add it to this story. K? Carry on.....

Unknown Destiny
It was another Monday morning and here was Ryoko Hakubi walking to school, for once not being late. As she walked in the direction of her school, she watched her feet, counting the steps she took.
"Hey Ryoko!" someone called from behind.
Ryoko turned around and smiled when she saw her friends running towards her. "Hey Mya, Ryo!"
"Hey Ryoko! You're actually gonna be early for school today. Shocker!"
"Very funny Ryo! You're not usually to early yourself ya know."
"I know, but today I decided to be fashionably early instead of late."
"Yea, I bet. What really happened Mya?"
"His father's on vacation time. So no more sleeping in for Ryo here anymore while he's home. But what's your reason for being this early?"
"Oh, I was up all night studying, literally. I'm lucky if I got an hour of sleep at all."
"And you can still function? How the hell can you do that?"
"I don't know. Guess I'm just super-human or something."
All three laughed and began walking the rest of their way to school.
//first hour//
Ryoko, Ryo and Mya walked into their first hour class room, still talking, and walked to their seats.
"Hey you guys!" someone greeted as he and someone else walked up behind him.
"Oh, hey there Clay!" waved Ryoko. "What's up?"
"Nothing much. Did you guys hear about the new kids we're suppose to get today from Jurai?"
"Jurai?! Why would Jurains want ti transfer to Earth?" questioned Mya.
"I don't know. But I heard that they're pretty smart. I wonder what their I.Q. level is....."
"Oh cut it out Clay!" exclaimed the other person.
"Yea! I agree with Lia. Cut it out will ya! Not everyone in this universe can be as smart as you and Ryoko!" chimmed in Ryo.
"Hey! I heard that ya know!" said Ryoko, smacking Ryo upside his head.
"Ow! I was only joking Ryoko!" whinned Ryo as she rubbed the back of his head.
Everyone laughed and took their seats when the bell rang. Soon the teacher came in and greeted the class.
"Good morning class. As most of you may know by now, their are three new students transferring here from Jurai. I want you all to be on your best behavior and treat them with respect like you would with any other new student. You may come in now!"
The three students, all looking the age of 17 or 18 years old, walked through the class door. The first had short black hair and brown eyes. He was about 5' 11" and introduced himself as Tenchi Masaki. He was placed behind Ryoko. The next was a girl with dark purple hair that was in two seperate ponytails. She looked about 5' 7" with red eyes. She introduced herself as Ayeka Jurai and was seated behind Lia. The last was a boy with white-silverish hair, looked about 6 feet tall and had blue eyes. (sorry ppl, I don't remember what his true eye color was, so I just chose a color. sorry!...) He introduced himself as Kamedake Hiroski (have no idea what his last name in either. sorry again! So I made that up too. don't hate me....) and was seated behind Ayeka. After everyone was seated, the teacher cleared his throat and began speaking again.
"Alright class, you all know the plans for today. For the rest of the week, you work on your projects that are due at the end of the week. And for you three, since you came in the middle of the project you are excempted from this. That in unless you would like to pair up with a student who has already started one. Then you'll get the same grade as him or her, as long as you participated in some way. Alright? Ok class, you may begin."
When the teacher was done talking, Ryoko, Ryo, Mya, Clay and Lia turned to talk to each other.
"Hi," greeted Ryoko as she turned around to face Tenchi. "My name's Ryoko Hakubi."
Tenchi smiled and shook hands with Ryoko. "Tenchi Masaki. Nice to meet you."
"Like wise. So, did you guys want a partner or did you not want to do this project at all?"
"I'd rather do it than sit around and do absolutely nothing for the rest of the week."
"Alright. Want to be my partner then?"
"Sure, why not. What do we have to do?"
Ryoko began explaining what the project was about, what they needed to do, and how they had to do it.
//lunch//
"Ok you guys, this is the cafe. We usually sit near the pole in the middle. So why don't we get some food, then go sit down. Then I'll introduce you to everyone. Alright?" explained Ryoko as she, Tenchi, Ayeka and Kamedake headed for the luch line.
When they came back, Ryoko was greeted by her many friends.
"Hey Ryoko, who's these guys?" asked one of them
"Ok, first things first. These three are Tenchi Masaki, Ayeka Jurai and Kamedake Hiroski. These are the new transfer students from Jurai everyone's been talking about today," began Ryoko while pointing to each of them. "Ok, as for this side. This is Ryo. He's the carefree kinda guy. He loves to joke around with everyone. Especially me. So if you see me smack him from time to time, you'll know why. That's Mya, Ryo's g/f. She sides with me all the time against Ryo. It's actually quite interesting conversations to see. Ryo doesn't find it all that fair, but I'm pretty much believe he's gotton use to it by now. Blondie girl over there is Lia. Lia's quiet around everyone except the ppl she knows. So give her time to get to know you guys, then you never get her to shut up.
"Clay's the one in the glasses. He has to know anything and everything about everyone. Me and him always get teased about being the 'smartest.' But other wise, don't be surprised if you get asked a lot of questions from him. That's normal. That guys over there that looks like he's gonna beat the hell out of you is Yusuke. He's a bit of a crank. But as long as you're on his good side, you're cool with him. The girl sitting next to him is Keiko, his girlfriend. She's sweet, but still has some attitude, and has a cheery dispostition. She'll get along with just about everybody, except for those she considers her enemies. She may look small and innocent, but boy does she ever have a lot of fight in her.
"The brunette next to her is her twin sister Kira. (Pretend that Keiko had a twin alright? just play along...) She's pretty much the same, except without all the spunk. Kurama is their older brother. He's way to over protective of his sisters. He has pretty much the same attitude as Yusuke. But not as head strong. The one with the braid is Duo. He's just like Ryo. Way to carefree for his own good. Only difference is that he'll annoy the hell out of you way much more than Ryo. I swear it's his soul purpose in life. He's also know as the class clown. The girl with dark blue hair next to him is his girlfriend Hilde. I don't know how she can handle him, but somehow she can always seem to manage. She's great to get along with. But don't underestimate her. She's a lot stronger that she appears to be....."
"And that's Ryoko as you may already know by now," interrupted Keiko. "She's the one we like to call the captian of this group here, as well as one of the brains. She's also known as super women. She can do just about everything and not get hurt in anyway possible. She's the daring one. Everyone wants to get with her. But everytime someone tries way to hard, they get the shit beat out of them. So look out if that happens."
"Hey! That's not true!"
"Oh yea it is!" agreed Yusuke. "Just look at what happened to Yutuki."
"That was an accident!"
"A black eye and a nearly broken arm isn't an accident Ryoko."
"Oh shut up! Or I'll do the same to you!"
"Shutting up."
"Good. But anyway, ::gives Yusuke evil death glare:: besides accusing me for things I didn't so intentionally, everyone here's cool. Some, like me, Yusuke, Kurama, or Keiko, have reps of being bullies, but don't believe all you hear. We aren't as bad as they say. And everyone who has ever known us can tell ya that."
"Alright. So how long is this lunch?" asked Kamedake as he took a seat next to Ayeka.
"About 30 more minutes," answered Ryoko after looking at her watch.
"When do we get out of school?" asked Ayeka.
"At 2:30. Use to be longer, but the school's changed a lot since last year. Which I'm thankful for. Gives me more time to get home, do my homework, and get to work." (btw, I have no idea what japanese schools are like, so I'm just using the American version until I figure that out. K?....)
"Speaking of work, what time do you have to be there today?" asked Mya getting Ryoko's attention.
"They changed hours for me again. So now I start at 7:30 tonite."
"Cool, so can you make it over to my house after school then? I'll drive ya to work since we work the same hours now."
"Sure. But drop me off at my house before we go to work so I can drop my things off. K?"
"Sure thing. Sounds good to me."
//that Friday after school//
"Hey Ayeka, want to come with me and Mya to her house? We have to watch her little brother before we go to work. But then you can come to the club where we work afterwards. We can get you in free. Or would you rather just go home?" asked Ryoko as she and Ayeka walked outside and waited for everyone on the benches in front of the school.
"Sure, I'd love to. But can we go to my apartment so I can drop off my things?"
"Sure thing, we'll do that when we leave for the club later. K?"
"Alright."
"Hey Ryoko! Hey Ayeka!" waved Mya as she walked over with the rest of their friends.
"Hey Mya! Hey, I asked if Ayeka wanted to come with us. Do you mind?"
"Not at all. More the marrier."
"By the way, how many people usually come with you to the club?" asked Ayeka.
"Just about everyone. Only ones who aren't are Tenchi and Kamedake cause we haven't gotton the chance to ask them yet."
"Yea, you guys should come," said Ryo as he placed an arm around Tenchi's shoulder. "The group just wouldn't be complete without you guys!"
"So, you two want to come?" asked Ryoko trying her best not to smack Ryo again.
"Sure, why not. How bout you Kamedake? Ayeka's coming," teased Tenchi.
Kamedake blushed slightly and replied, "Sure. What time?"
"We'll have Ryo pick you guys up at 6:30. Sound good?" asked Ryoko.
"Sounds good," answered Tenchi.
"Alright. Well, I'm gonna steal Ayeka and Mya away from you all," began Ryoko, taking Ayeka and Mya by the arms. "And drag them over to Mya's. We're gonna do our work, watch Mya's bro, then get ready. We'll call you guys later when we're ready for work so that you know that we'll be leaving soon. K? But until then, see you guys later!"
"Bye! See ya tonite!" Everyone waved good bye and walked to their houses or apartments. Then got their work done, and began getting ready for the club.
//back with Ryoko, Ayeka, and Mya//
"So Ayeka," began Ryoko. "What's the deal with you and Kamedake? Hummm?"
"Huh, what are you talking about Ryoko?" asked Ayeka, trying to aviod the subject.
"Oh come one Ayeka, you know very well what I'm talking about."
"Yea! It's not everyday that you see ppl blush at the mention of someone elses name ya know!" agreed Mya.
"I don't know what you mean," said Ayeka innocently. "Kamedake is just a really good friend of mine since we were little. That's all."
"Yea I bet. And pigs fly."
"What, we have been friends since then. I swear it!"
"That's not what she meant Ayeka," interrupted Ryoko. "What she meant by that was that you most likely were telling us the truth. Except the only thing is that you know very well what we mean. We can tell he likes you. It's written all over his face."
"Yea, it's not exactly hard to miss," agreed Mya.
"Ok, so what if he does like me? There's nothing we can do about that anyway," said Ayeka while looking at her feet as she walked.
"Oh, well that's not nessecarily true Ayeka."
"Huh? What do you mean by that Ryoko?"
"Oh, trust me. Come after tonite, you'll know for sure if he likes you or not."
"How?"
"Do you have a plan Ryoko?" asked Mya with a devilish smirk on her face.
"Oh yes! If it's one thing I can do for sure, it's hooking people up. So come tonite, if I have it my way and it goes the way it's planned to, everything will work out great!"
"What do you intend to do?"
An evil smirk formed on Ryoko's face as she began explaining her plan to Mya and Ayeka. Mya smirked back as she heard this and gave Ryoko a high five. Ayeka on the other hand was becoming nervous as the day wore on.
//with Tenchi and Kamedake//
"Tenchi, why on Jurai did you do that to me?!" demanded Kamedake as they were walking to their apartment.
"Do what? I have no idea what you're talking about Kamedake," said Tenchi in an innocent voice.
"Oh come on Tenchi! Why did you just embarasse me in front of Ayeka like that?"
"Calm down, calm down. It was only a little joke. By the way, you should really learn to act more like everyone else here. Other wise everyone's gonna figure out who we really are and we can't have that happen while we're on our mission ya know."
"Yea, yea, back off. I'm trying ya know. I'm not exactly used to acting like an earthling. I'm a warrior, a guardian, not a high schooler."
"Oh get over it. Until we find who we're looking for, you'll have to live with it."
"Man, do you realize how long that could take?"
"Yes, but we have to, other wise when that war that is in the legend will come true and our planet will be wipped out. Do you really want that?"
"Of course not. But there are a lot of people on this planet. Are you sure we're in the right place?"
"Yes, that's what the navigator said. It said that the person who will somehow help our planet in located in this town."
"Hummmm, maybe it's that Yusuke guy. What do you think?"
"Could be, but the chances are slim-to-none. He doesn't seem like the warrior we're looking for."
"Hummmm, what about Kurama or his sister Keiko?"
"Naw, something just doesn't seem like they'd be it."
"Alright, how about Ryoko? She seems pretty strong. You never know."
"Yes, you've got a point there. She could be a possiblity."
"So for right now, our goal is to watch over Yusuke, Kurama, Keiko, and Ryoko"
"Yes, we'll watch over them. If none of them are who we're looking for, then we'll have to find someone else. And we'll leave if nessecary. Agreed?"
"Agreed. The best time to check it out is at the club tonite. We'll observe them there. Sound good?"
"Alright. But for now, we have to get our work done. Come on."
Tenchi and Kamedake walked to their apartment on the 6th floor. They took out their work, finished it in no time, then began getting ready for the party.
//At the club//
"Club X? What kind of name in that?" asked Kamedake.
"Hey, it's a club, and it's a great job," said Ryoko. "Now come on. We're here earlier than usual, so might as well get going."
"Alright, but one question, is the line for this club always this long this early?"
"Always. Worse on weekends."
They all walked inside and was greeted by the manager, who always let Ryoko's and Mya's friends in for free.
"How are you guys doing tonite?" asked the manager.
"Great. I'd like you to meet my new friends who just moved here from Jurai. Ayeka, Tenchi, and Kamedake," said Ryoko as she waved to her boss.
"Jurai huh? Hope things are going better than down here on planet Earth. I hope you guys enjoy your stay here. Look Ryoko, I've got to take care of something. You think you and Mya and take care of things for me until I come back?"
"Sure thing. Don't take to long though. You'll miss my show."
"Alright. I'll try and be back by then. See ya guys later."
"See ya Hiryuusenshi! (don't you just love that name. translation at bottom...) "Alright Mya, looks like we open tonite. Can you make sure that everyone's here so we can finish getting ready so we can open?"
"Sure thing Ryoko!" Mya ran to the back, and sure enough everyone had come to work, and were waiting for Ryoko and Mya.
//1/2 hour before closeing time//
"Hey, how are things going with Ayeka and Kamedake?" asked Mya when she caught up with Ryoko.
"Don't know. I'll have to go check."
"What are you guys talking about?" asked Kira.
"Hey Mya, why don't you take your break and explain to them what's going on. I'm gonna go check on the other two. Alright?"
"Sure!"
Ryoko walked away from her group of friends and to the staircase leading to the second floor. When up top, she looked around the dance floor and smiled when she found them. Ayeka and Kamedake were at the bar (alcohol free, sorry ppl...) and were talking. "I hope this works!" she said to herself.
"Hope what works?"
Ryoko turned around and smiled when she saw it was only Tenchi. "Oh nothing really."
"Oh really?" Tenchi looked over at the bar. Seeing his friends there talking by themselves, he smiled. "Well, you don't see that everyday."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well, tell you the truth, they never want to be alone in the same room by themselves. I always have to be there. Other wise, if I'm not, they're always silent and don't look at each other. Even if others are there with them in the same exact room."
"Really?"
"Hum um, might I ask what you did to Ayeka exactly that she's now with him without having me there?"
"Nothing. That's just it. We were talking about...something, but I didn't know it would actually work this well."
"What exactly?"
"Oh, nothing. Got to get back to work."
"Oh no you don't!" Tenchi grabbed Ryoko and pulled her towards him so she wouldn't get away. Ryoko couldn't help but laugh. "You're not going anywhere until you tell me what you girls were talking about. Especially since it involved my friends who I've known since I was a kid. So spit it out!"
Ryoko was still laughing, but answered, "Never! Over my dead body!"
"Ok," Tenchi leaned forward and whispered in her ear. "That can always be arranged ya know..."
Ryoko stopped laughing and closed her eyes feeling Tenchi's breath on her neck. "And how would you do that?" she whispered back.
"I'd find my ways..."
They stayed like that for a while, Tenchi just holding her back. Their friends, however, began to notice.
"Hey, look!" said Lia pointing to the second floor where Ryoko and Tenchi were. "Is that Ryoko and Tenchi?"
"Yea! But what's with that?" asked Ryo.
"I don't know. Maybe we should ask about that later."
As for Ayeka and Kamedake...
"Hey look Kamedake, it's Ryoko and Tenchi!" said Ayeka, also pointing to them.
"Whoa! Why are they so close?" asked Kamedake.
"Who knows. Let's ask later about it or something. But for the time being, let's dance!"
"Sure!"
//Back with Ryoko and Tenchi//
Ryoko still had her eyes closed, trying to figure out why she just wouldn't walk away. 'What's going on? Why won't I move? I promised myself that I wouldn't be with guys anymore unless they are my friends, nothing more. And here I am being held by Tenchi. Being held by someone I don't know that much of yet either. What's with this?'
"Ummm, could you please let go? I have an act that I need to do before I get off tonite," said Ryoko, breaking their awkward(sp?) silence.
"Oh, sure. Sorry bout that."
"No problem. Come close to the stage if you want a good view of my show. K?"
"Alright! How many minutes?"
"About 5. So hurry up!"
"K! Will do!"
//5 minutes later//
Ryoko walked onto the stage, the crowd screaming her name. She waved to everyone and smiled. She walked around the stage, still quiet, and just starred at all the ppl who came tonite. She saw her friends, wiggled her eyebrows a couple of times then winked at them. Then she walked back to the middle of the stage and raised her hand, indicating everyone to quiet down.
"Ok, now that everyone is quieter than they were before...How are you all doin tonite?!" She heard everyone scream and call her name again. She raised her hand again, making everyone quiet down once more. "Ok then! So, what do you say that we get one last great song, sung by muyah, in before the nights over?!" Everyone screamed again. Ryoko laughed lightly and raised her hand once again. "Alright then. Now, tonite is going to be a little different than most. ::audience screams:: Sometime during the song, I'm gonna pull someone from the audience onto the stage and have him or her dance with me! ::audience screams:: What do you guys say to that?! ::audience screams:: Alright then! In order to get on stage you must be energtic, dance while I sing, and not be to nervous to be infront a bunch of ppl while we dance. Got that?! ::audience screams:: Ok, Let's start this then!"
The stage lights go off as Ryoko finished talking. The audience was still screaming, occationally yelling out Ryoko's name. Soon after, the music began to play and lights of all sorts of colors started filling the stage with light again. Ryoko was standing in the middle of the stage with some dancers, her outfit no longer what it was. It was a tight black pants with a white belly shirt with the sleeves crossed in the back. A few seconds later, you could hear Ryoko begin to sing.....
~*~The kisses of the sun
Were sweet I didn't blink
I let it in my eyes
Like an exotic dream
The radio playing songs
That I have never heard
I don't know what to say
Oh, not another word...~*~
Ryoko walked to the edge of the stage, the dancers dancing behind her. She waved to the audience and began to sway her hips, teasing the boys who were standing in front of her......
~*~Just la la la la la
It goes around the world

Ryoko smiled and began walking to one end of the stage, doing the same she did in the middle.....
~*~Inside an empty room
My inspiration flows
Now wait to hear the tune
Around my head it goes
The magic melody
You want to sing with me
Just la la la la la
The music is the key
And now the night is gone
Still it goes on and on
So deep inside of me
I long to set it free
I don't know what to do
Just can't explain to you
I don't know what to say
Oh, not another word~*~
Ryoko walked to the other end of the stage were her friends were. She walked off the stage and up to her friends. She grabbed Tenchi's hand and began pulling him to the stage.....
~*~Just la la la la la
It goes around the world
Just la la la la la

Once on stage, Ryoko grabbed Tenchi's hands and placed them on her hips. She kept her hands on his until the music's beat began to pick up again. Then she placed her arms around Tenchi's neck, her back against his chest......
~*~The kisses of the sun
Around, around, around the world
La la la la la
It goes around the world
Just la la la la la
It's all around the world
Just la la la la la

Tenchi wrapped her arms around Ryoko's waist, making her almost jump, but it wasn't really noticable. He began swaying his hips with Ryoko's as the music slowly began to end.....

The crowd screamed when the song ended. Ryoko was laughing as she leaned her head back on Tenchi's shoulder. "Have fun?" she whispered to Tenchi, covering up the mic. "Well, there you go you guys! Your daily song! Did you like? ::audience screams:: I'll take that as a yes! Well, I hope you guys enjoy the rest of the evening! And remember to tip the waitress's. It's the least you could do for us! Until tomorrow!!!" ::crowd screams again::
Ryoko bowwed, as well as Tenchi, then the lights went out. Tenchi and Ryoko, as well as the dancers, all quickly walked off stage. Ryoko stayed in her outfit as she and Tenchi walked back onto the clubs main dance floor. As they walked out, Onmibus began to play.
"Well Tenchi, one of the last songs of the night, wanna dance?" asked Ryoko as she walked onto the dance floor.
"Sure!"
Ryoko grabbed his hand and led him to the middle of the dance floor. Ryoko wrapped her arms around his neck as Tenchi wrapped his around her waist. Ryoko began swaying her hips to the beat of the music, making Tenchi do the same. Ryoko brought down her hands to behind her back, placing her hands on top of his.
"Ok ladies and germs, this is offically the last dance of the night!" began the dj. "I want you ladies and gents to grab the guy or girl you've been dancing with and share this last dance with them. Thank you all for coming and good night!"
Another song began to play called My Sacrafice by Creed. Ryoko hesitated dancing with Tenchi again at first and wanted to just walk away. But before she got a chance, Tenchi grabbed her arm and turned her to face him.
"Want to share this last dance?"
Ryoko looked at him, but decided what the hell and agreed to it. After the song ended, Ryoko let go of Tenchi and began walking away. "Ryoko?" called Tenchi.
Ryoko turned around to look at him. "Yes Tenchi?"
"Could I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure. Where did you want to talk?"
"You got a dressing room somewhere or something?"
"Oh, sure. Just follow me."
Everyone began leaving the club slowly but surely as Tenchi and Ryoko walked to her dressing room. (don't get any ideas ppl!...) Ryoko closed the door behind them as she and Tenchi entered her dressing room. "What did you want to talk about Tenchi?" asked Ryoko as she took a seat at the make-up table.
"Well, first off why you've been acting all wierd since we talked just a few minutes before your act started."
"I don't know what you're talking about Tenchi."
"Look Ryoko, I don't know what's been up with you and all. I mean, come on. You're hiding a secret about Ayeka and Kamedake, and they're my best friends. You've been acting strange since the moment we left that stage. And I was just wondering what was up with you."
"Nothings wrong alright Tenchi?!" snapped Ryoko as she turned to face him in his chair. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with me. I act strange at times too Tenchi. Everyone does. It's called human nature here on Earth. Or did you not know that?!" Ryoko covered her mouth with her hand after realziing what she just said. She walked up to Tenchi and took her hand in his. "Look Tenchi, I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said just now. I was just a little annoyed because you were butting into my personal life. Plu the day I've had so far doesn't help me much either. To tell you the truth, I don't know what's wrong with me. But I promise this, the moment I know, I'll make sure to tell you since you're dieing to know. K?"
"Alright. And don't worry about that. I deserved it," said Tenchi as he placed his other hand on the side of her.
Ryoko smiled and just starred into Tenchi's eyes. Her smile slowly began to fade as Tenchi's face slowly began to lean in towards her's. Ryoko's eyes closed and she held her breath as she felt Tenchi's lips lightly touch her's. 'I don't get it, why am I letting him do this doing this? Why am I doing this? Why can't I pull away? Why...Oh, I don't care anymore...' she thought to herself as Tenchi began to deepen the kiss. Ryoko did the only thing she could think of. She wrapped her arms around his neck to help deepen it.
After what seemed like hours, Tenchi and Ryoko finally broke away for some air, and just starred in each other's eyes. Ryoko smiled slightly and hugged Tenchi. Tenchi did the same and burried his face into her neck. They stayed like that for a while, just holding each other. They slowly began to rock back and forth as if music began to play for their ears to hear only.
//back with everyone else//
"Hey, where's Ryoko and Tenchi?" asked Ryo when he and Mya caught up with everyone.
"I don't know. I heard some fighting in the dressing room area. It sounded like Ryoko. But it stopped the moment I walked into the hallway. So I figured it was probably nothing. Do you think that was her and Tenchi?" explained Keiko.
"It could be, but why would she and Tenchi be fighting?" asked Lia.
"Who knows. This is Ryoko we're talking about here," said Yusuke.
"Good point. Do you think that one of us should go see if they're ready to leave?"
"You guys looking for us?" asked Ryoko as she walked up behind Yusuke.
"Where were you guys?" asked Duo.
"Just talking."
"Was that you yelling in one of the dressing rooms then?" asked Hilde.
"Probably. But why don't we worry about that tomorrow. We got to get home."
"Alright."
So everyone left, Ryoko locking up since Hiryuusenshi hadn't shown back up.
//Monday morning//
Another Monday morning, again, for Ryoko Hakubi. She was tired from the weekend she had and was thinking of her and Tenchi. They had spent the whole weekend together with no one else around and talked about what had happened on Firday night/Saturday morning. They decided to become a couple and see how things turned out between them. Both hoping that everything would turn out ok. Tenchi because he appearently really like Ryoko and wanted to begin a relationship with her. Ryoko because she didn't want to go through another relationship and have to break up and lose a great friend. All because the guy didn't care for her as much as he said he did. Ryoko was praying to everything she knew, hoping that things would turn out alright.
"Ryoko!" someone called from behind.
Ryoko turned around and smiled when she saw Tenchi. "Hey Tenchi! What are you doing so late for school?"
Tenchi pecked Ryoko on the cheek and smiled. "Believe it or not, I couldn't find my science book or notes. So I was looking for them. Becoming late in the process."
"That sounds a lot like me ya know."
Tenchi chuckled and kissed Ryoko again, this time longer. After, they walked to school, just making it to school about 2 minutes before the bell rang. They both went to their lockers to put away or grab some books. Luckily their luckers were right next to each other.
"Hey you two!" greeted Clay and Mya as they walked up to Ryoko and Tenchi. Ryo, Lia, Ayeka, and Kamedake right behind them.
"Hey you guys. What's up?" greeted back Ryoko as she closed her locker.
"Nothing much as usual," said Clay. "How bout you? How was your weekend?"
"Ummmm, you could say quite.....interesting. Yours?"
"Same ol', same ol'. How was your's so 'interesting?'"
The bell rang, indicating that first hour was about ot begin. Ryoko smiled and leaned in to kiss Tenchi. "Let's just say, quite entertaining for the most part. See ya guys in class. Shall we go Tenchi?"
Tenchi shock his head yes and followed Ryoko to their class, hand in hand. Ryoko leaned in and whispered in Tenchi's ear, "That should boggle their minds for a while."
Tenchi smiled and wrapped his arm around Ryoko.
As for their friends and the rest of the students who saw what had just happened, their mouths hung open, all of them just gawking at what they just saw.
"Did what just happen, happen?" asked Ayeka when she finally snapped out of it.
"I...I think so..." said Kamedake, still a little dazed.
"Wait a minute! Did we just miss something between those two?!" exclaimed Ryo.
"I guess so," replied Lia as she and the others began walking to class.
"Ok, that's it, the moment I get the chance, I'm making them explain this all to me!" demanded Ryo.
"And I'm pretty sure everyone else is think the same thing," said Lia.
So everyone walked into their first hour class and found Ryoko and Tenchi talking to each other at their seats like nothing had happened. Everyone shrugged it off and decided to question it later. So they all walked to their seats just in time for the bell.........

Unknown Destiny
It was another Monday morning and here was Ryoko Hakubi walking to school, for once not being late. As she walked in the direction of her school, she watched her feet, counting the steps she took.
"Hey Ryoko!" someone called from behind.
Ryoko turned around and smiled when she saw her friends running towards her. "Hey Mya, Ryo!"
"Hey Ryoko! You're actually gonna be early for school today. Shocker!"
"Very funny Ryo! You're not usually to early yourself ya know."
"I know, but today I decided to be fashionably early instead of late."
"Yea, I bet. What really happened Mya?"
"His father's on vacation time. So no more sleeping in for Ryo here anymore while he's home. But what's your reason for being this early?"
"Oh, I was up all night studying, literally. I'm lucky if I got an hour of sleep at all."
"And you can still function? How the hell can you do that?"
"I don't know. Guess I'm just super-human or something."
All three laughed and began walking the rest of their way to school.
//first hour//
Ryoko, Ryo and Mya walked into their first hour class room, still talking, and walked to their seats.
"Hey you guys!" someone greeted as he and someone else walked up behind him.
"Oh, hey there Clay!" waved Ryoko. "What's up?"
"Nothing much. Did you guys hear about the new kids we're suppose to get today from Jurai?"
"Jurai?! Why would Jurains want ti transfer to Earth?" questioned Mya.
"I don't know. But I heard that they're pretty smart. I wonder what their I.Q. level is....."
"Oh cut it out Clay!" exclaimed the other person.
"Yea! I agree with Lia. Cut it out will ya! Not everyone in this universe can be as smart as you and Ryoko!" chimmed in Ryo.
"Hey! I heard that ya know!" said Ryoko, smacking Ryo upside his head.
"Ow! I was only joking Ryoko!" whinned Ryo as she rubbed the back of his head.
Everyone laughed and took their seats when the bell rang. Soon the teacher came in and greeted the class.
"Good morning class. As most of you may know by now, their are three new students transferring here from Jurai. I want you all to be on your best behavior and treat them with respect like you would with any other new student. You may come in now!"
The three students, all looking the age of 17 or 18 years old, walked through the class door. The first had short black hair and brown eyes. He was about 5' 11" and introduced himself as Tenchi Masaki. He was placed behind Ryoko. The next was a girl with dark purple hair that was in two seperate ponytails. She looked about 5' 7" with red eyes. She introduced herself as Ayeka Jurai and was seated behind Lia. The last was a boy with white-silverish hair, looked about 6 feet tall and had blue eyes. (sorry ppl, I don't remember what his true eye color was, so I just chose a color. sorry!...) He introduced himself as Kamedake Hiroski (have no idea what his last name in either. sorry again! So I made that up too. don't hate me....) and was seated behind Ayeka. After everyone was seated, the teacher cleared his throat and began speaking again.
"Alright class, you all know the plans for today. For the rest of the week, you work on your projects that are due at the end of the week. And for you three, since you came in the middle of the project you are excempted from this. That in unless you would like to pair up with a student who has already started one. Then you'll get the same grade as him or her, as long as you participated in some way. Alright? Ok class, you may begin."
When the teacher was done talking, Ryoko, Ryo, Mya, Clay and Lia turned to talk to each other.
"Hi," greeted Ryoko as she turned around to face Tenchi. "My name's Ryoko Hakubi."
Tenchi smiled and shook hands with Ryoko. "Tenchi Masaki. Nice to meet you."
"Like wise. So, did you guys want a partner or did you not want to do this project at all?"
"I'd rather do it than sit around and do absolutely nothing for the rest of the week."
"Alright. Want to be my partner then?"
"Sure, why not. What do we have to do?"
Ryoko began explaining what the project was about, what they needed to do, and how they had to do it.
//lunch//
"Ok you guys, this is the cafe. We usually sit near the pole in the middle. So why don't we get some food, then go sit down. Then I'll introduce you to everyone. Alright?" explained Ryoko as she, Tenchi, Ayeka and Kamedake headed for the luch line.
When they came back, Ryoko was greeted by her many friends.
"Hey Ryoko, who's these guys?" asked one of them
"Ok, first things first. These three are Tenchi Masaki, Ayeka Jurai and Kamedake Hiroski. These are the new transfer students from Jurai everyone's been talking about today," began Ryoko while pointing to each of them. "Ok, as for this side. This is Ryo. He's the carefree kinda guy. He loves to joke around with everyone. Especially me. So if you see me smack him from time to time, you'll know why. That's Mya, Ryo's g/f. She sides with me all the time against Ryo. It's actually quite interesting conversations to see. Ryo doesn't find it all that fair, but I'm pretty much believe he's gotton use to it by now. Blondie girl over there is Lia. Lia's quiet around everyone except the ppl she knows. So give her time to get to know you guys, then you never get her to shut up.
"Clay's the one in the glasses. He has to know anything and everything about everyone. Me and him always get teased about being the 'smartest.' But other wise, don't be surprised if you get asked a lot of questions from him. That's normal. That guys over there that looks like he's gonna beat the hell out of you is Yusuke. He's a bit of a crank. But as long as you're on his good side, you're cool with him. The girl sitting next to him is Keiko, his girlfriend. She's sweet, but still has some attitude, and has a cheery dispostition. She'll get along with just about everybody, except for those she considers her enemies. She may look small and innocent, but boy does she ever have a lot of fight in her.
"The brunette next to her is her twin sister Kira. (Pretend that Keiko had a twin alright? just play along...) She's pretty much the same, except without all the spunk. Kurama is their older brother. He's way to over protective of his sisters. He has pretty much the same attitude as Yusuke. But not as head strong. The one with the braid is Duo. He's just like Ryo. Way to carefree for his own good. Only difference is that he'll annoy the hell out of you way much more than Ryo. I swear it's his soul purpose in life. He's also know as the class clown. The girl with dark blue hair next to him is his girlfriend Hilde. I don't know how she can handle him, but somehow she can always seem to manage. She's great to get along with. But don't underestimate her. She's a lot stronger that she appears to be....."
"And that's Ryoko as you may already know by now," interrupted Keiko. "She's the one we like to call the captian of this group here, as well as one of the brains. She's also known as super women. She can do just about everything and not get hurt in anyway possible. She's the daring one. Everyone wants to get with her. But everytime someone tries way to hard, they get the shit beat out of them. So look out if that happens."
"Hey! That's not true!"
"Oh yea it is!" agreed Yusuke. "Just look at what happened to Yutuki."
"That was an accident!"
"A black eye and a nearly broken arm isn't an accident Ryoko."
"Oh shut up! Or I'll do the same to you!"
"Shutting up."
"Good. But anyway, ::gives Yusuke evil death glare:: besides accusing me for things I didn't so intentionally, everyone here's cool. Some, like me, Yusuke, Kurama, or Keiko, have reps of being bullies, but don't believe all you hear. We aren't as bad as they say. And everyone who has ever known us can tell ya that."
"Alright. So how long is this lunch?" asked Kamedake as he took a seat next to Ayeka.
"About 30 more minutes," answered Ryoko after looking at her watch.
"When do we get out of school?" asked Ayeka.
"At 2:30. Use to be longer, but the school's changed a lot since last year. Which I'm thankful for. Gives me more time to get home, do my homework, and get to work." (btw, I have no idea what japanese schools are like, so I'm just using the American version until I figure that out. K?....)
"Speaking of work, what time do you have to be there today?" asked Mya getting Ryoko's attention.
"They changed hours for me again. So now I start at 7:30 tonite."
"Cool, so can you make it over to my house after school then? I'll drive ya to work since we work the same hours now."
"Sure. But drop me off at my house before we go to work so I can drop my things off. K?"
"Sure thing. Sounds good to me."
//that Friday after school//
"Hey Ayeka, want to come with me and Mya to her house? We have to watch her little brother before we go to work. But then you can come to the club where we work afterwards. We can get you in free. Or would you rather just go home?" asked Ryoko as she and Ayeka walked outside and waited for everyone on the benches in front of the school.
"Sure, I'd love to. But can we go to my apartment so I can drop off my things?"
"Sure thing, we'll do that when we leave for the club later. K?"
"Alright."
"Hey Ryoko! Hey Ayeka!" waved Mya as she walked over with the rest of their friends.
"Hey Mya! Hey, I asked if Ayeka wanted to come with us. Do you mind?"
"Not at all. More the marrier."
"By the way, how many people usually come with you to the club?" asked Ayeka.
"Just about everyone. Only ones who aren't are Tenchi and Kamedake cause we haven't gotton the chance to ask them yet."
"Yea, you guys should come," said Ryo as he placed an arm around Tenchi's shoulder. "The group just wouldn't be complete without you guys!"
"So, you two want to come?" asked Ryoko trying her best not to smack Ryo again.
"Sure, why not. How bout you Kamedake? Ayeka's coming," teased Tenchi.
Kamedake blushed slightly and replied, "Sure. What time?"
"We'll have Ryo pick you guys up at 6:30. Sound good?" asked Ryoko.
"Sounds good," answered Tenchi.
"Alright. Well, I'm gonna steal Ayeka and Mya away from you all," began Ryoko, taking Ayeka and Mya by the arms. "And drag them over to Mya's. We're gonna do our work, watch Mya's bro, then get ready. We'll call you guys later when we're ready for work so that you know that we'll be leaving soon. K? But until then, see you guys later!"
"Bye! See ya tonite!" Everyone waved good bye and walked to their houses or apartments. Then got their work done, and began getting ready for the club.
//back with Ryoko, Ayeka, and Mya//
"So Ayeka," began Ryoko. "What's the deal with you and Kamedake? Hummm?"
"Huh, what are you talking about Ryoko?" asked Ayeka, trying to aviod the subject.
"Oh come one Ayeka, you know very well what I'm talking about."
"Yea! It's not everyday that you see ppl blush at the mention of someone elses name ya know!" agreed Mya.
"I don't know what you mean," said Ayeka innocently. "Kamedake is just a really good friend of mine since we were little. That's all."
"Yea I bet. And pigs fly."
"What, we have been friends since then. I swear it!"
"That's not what she meant Ayeka," interrupted Ryoko. "What she meant by that was that you most likely were telling us the truth. Except the only thing is that you know very well what we mean. We can tell he likes you. It's written all over his face."
"Yea, it's not exactly hard to miss," agreed Mya.
"Ok, so what if he does like me? There's nothing we can do about that anyway," said Ayeka while looking at her feet as she walked.
"Oh, well that's not nessecarily true Ayeka."
"Huh? What do you mean by that Ryoko?"
"Oh, trust me. Come after tonite, you'll know for sure if he likes you or not."
"How?"
"Do you have a plan Ryoko?" asked Mya with a devilish smirk on her face.
"Oh yes! If it's one thing I can do for sure, it's hooking people up. So come tonite, if I have it my way and it goes the way it's planned to, everything will work out great!"
"What do you intend to do?"
An evil smirk formed on Ryoko's face as she began explaining her plan to Mya and Ayeka. Mya smirked back as she heard this and gave Ryoko a high five. Ayeka on the other hand was becoming nervous as the day wore on.
//with Tenchi and Kamedake//
"Tenchi, why on Jurai did you do that to me?!" demanded Kamedake as they were walking to their apartment.
"Do what? I have no idea what you're talking about Kamedake," said Tenchi in an innocent voice.
"Oh come on Tenchi! Why did you just embarasse me in front of Ayeka like that?"
"Calm down, calm down. It was only a little joke. By the way, you should really learn to act more like everyone else here. Other wise everyone's gonna figure out who we really are and we can't have that happen while we're on our mission ya know."
"Yea, yea, back off. I'm trying ya know. I'm not exactly used to acting like an earthling. I'm a warrior, a guardian, not a high schooler."
"Oh get over it. Until we find who we're looking for, you'll have to live with it."
"Man, do you realize how long that could take?"
"Yes, but we have to, other wise when that war that is in the legend will come true and our planet will be wipped out. Do you really want that?"
"Of course not. But there are a lot of people on this planet. Are you sure we're in the right place?"
"Yes, that's what the navigator said. It said that the person who will somehow help our planet in located in this town."
"Hummmm, maybe it's that Yusuke guy. What do you think?"
"Could be, but the chances are slim-to-none. He doesn't seem like the warrior we're looking for."
"Hummmm, what about Kurama or his sister Keiko?"
"Naw, something just doesn't seem like they'd be it."
"Alright, how about Ryoko? She seems pretty strong. You never know."
"Yes, you've got a point there. She could be a possiblity."
"So for right now, our goal is to watch over Yusuke, Kurama, Keiko, and Ryoko"
"Yes, we'll watch over them. If none of them are who we're looking for, then we'll have to find someone else. And we'll leave if nessecary. Agreed?"
"Agreed. The best time to check it out is at the club tonite. We'll observe them there. Sound good?"
"Alright. But for now, we have to get our work done. Come on."
Tenchi and Kamedake walked to their apartment on the 6th floor. They took out their work, finished it in no time, then began getting ready for the party.
//At the club//
"Club X? What kind of name in that?" asked Kamedake.
"Hey, it's a club, and it's a great job," said Ryoko. "Now come on. We're here earlier than usual, so might as well get going."
"Alright, but one question, is the line for this club always this long this early?"
"Always. Worse on weekends."
They all walked inside and was greeted by the manager, who always let Ryoko's and Mya's friends in for free.
"How are you guys doing tonite?" asked the manager.
"Great. I'd like you to meet my new friends who just moved here from Jurai. Ayeka, Tenchi, and Kamedake," said Ryoko as she waved to her boss.
"Jurai huh? Hope things are going better than down here on planet Earth. I hope you guys enjoy your stay here. Look Ryoko, I've got to take care of something. You think you and Mya and take care of things for me until I come back?"
"Sure thing. Don't take to long though. You'll miss my show."
"Alright. I'll try and be back by then. See ya guys later."
"See ya Hiryuusenshi! (don't you just love that name. translation at bottom...) "Alright Mya, looks like we open tonite. Can you make sure that everyone's here so we can finish getting ready so we can open?"
"Sure thing Ryoko!" Mya ran to the back, and sure enough everyone had come to work, and were waiting for Ryoko and Mya.
//1/2 hour before closeing time//
"Hey, how are things going with Ayeka and Kamedake?" asked Mya when she caught up with Ryoko.
"Don't know. I'll have to go check."
"What are you guys talking about?" asked Kira.
"Hey Mya, why don't you take your break and explain to them what's going on. I'm gonna go check on the other two. Alright?"
"Sure!"
Ryoko walked away from her group of friends and to the staircase leading to the second floor. When up top, she looked around the dance floor and smiled when she found them. Ayeka and Kamedake were at the bar (alcohol free, sorry ppl...) and were talking. "I hope this works!" she said to herself.
"Hope what works?"
Ryoko turned around and smiled when she saw it was only Tenchi. "Oh nothing really."
"Oh really?" Tenchi looked over at the bar. Seeing his friends there talking by themselves, he smiled. "Well, you don't see that everyday."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well, tell you the truth, they never want to be alone in the same room by themselves. I always have to be there. Other wise, if I'm not, they're always silent and don't look at each other. Even if others are there with them in the same exact room."
"Really?"
"Hum um, might I ask what you did to Ayeka exactly that she's now with him without having me there?"
"Nothing. That's just it. We were talking about...something, but I didn't know it would actually work this well."
"What exactly?"
"Oh, nothing. Got to get back to work."
"Oh no you don't!" Tenchi grabbed Ryoko and pulled her towards him so she wouldn't get away. Ryoko couldn't help but laugh. "You're not going anywhere until you tell me what you girls were talking about. Especially since it involved my friends who I've known since I was a kid. So spit it out!"
Ryoko was still laughing, but answered, "Never! Over my dead body!"
"Ok," Tenchi leaned forward and whispered in her ear. "That can always be arranged ya know..."
Ryoko stopped laughing and closed her eyes feeling Tenchi's breath on her neck. "And how would you do that?" she whispered back.
"I'd find my ways..."
They stayed like that for a while, Tenchi just holding her back. Their friends, however, began to notice.
"Hey, look!" said Lia pointing to the second floor where Ryoko and Tenchi were. "Is that Ryoko and Tenchi?"
"Yea! But what's with that?" asked Ryo.
"I don't know. Maybe we should ask about that later."
As for Ayeka and Kamedake...
"Hey look Kamedake, it's Ryoko and Tenchi!" said Ayeka, also pointing to them.
"Whoa! Why are they so close?" asked Kamedake.
"Who knows. Let's ask later about it or something. But for the time being, let's dance!"
"Sure!"
//Back with Ryoko and Tenchi//
Ryoko still had her eyes closed, trying to figure out why she just wouldn't walk away. 'What's going on? Why won't I move? I promised myself that I wouldn't be with guys anymore unless they are my friends, nothing more. And here I am being held by Tenchi. Being held by someone I don't know that much of yet either. What's with this?'
"Ummm, could you please let go? I have an act that I need to do before I get off tonite," said Ryoko, breaking their awkward(sp?) silence.
"Oh, sure. Sorry bout that."
"No problem. Come close to the stage if you want a good view of my show. K?"
"Alright! How many minutes?"
"About 5. So hurry up!"
"K! Will do!"
//5 minutes later//
Ryoko walked onto the stage, the crowd screaming her name. She waved to everyone and smiled. She walked around the stage, still quiet, and just starred at all the ppl who came tonite. She saw her friends, wiggled her eyebrows a couple of times then winked at them. Then she walked back to the middle of the stage and raised her hand, indicating everyone to quiet down.
"Ok, now that everyone is quieter than they were before...How are you all doin tonite?!" She heard everyone scream and call her name again. She raised her hand again, making everyone quiet down once more. "Ok then! So, what do you say that we get one last great song, sung by muyah, in before the nights over?!" Everyone screamed again. Ryoko laughed lightly and raised her hand once again. "Alright then. Now, tonite is going to be a little different than most. ::audience screams:: Sometime during the song, I'm gonna pull someone from the audience onto the stage and have him or her dance with me! ::audience screams:: What do you guys say to that?! ::audience screams:: Alright then! In order to get on stage you must be energtic, dance while I sing, and not be to nervous to be infront a bunch of ppl while we dance. Got that?! ::audience screams:: Ok, Let's start this then!"
The stage lights go off as Ryoko finished talking. The audience was still screaming, occationally yelling out Ryoko's name. Soon after, the music began to play and lights of all sorts of colors started filling the stage with light again. Ryoko was standing in the middle of the stage with some dancers, her outfit no longer what it was. It was a tight black pants with a white belly shirt with the sleeves crossed in the back. A few seconds later, you could hear Ryoko begin to sing.....
~*~The kisses of the sun
Were sweet I didn't blink
I let it in my eyes
Like an exotic dream
The radio playing songs
That I have never heard
I don't know what to say
Oh, not another word...~*~
Ryoko walked to the edge of the stage, the dancers dancing behind her. She waved to the audience and began to sway her hips, teasing the boys who were standing in front of her......
~*~Just la la la la la
It goes around the world
Just la la la la la
It's all around the world
Just la la la la la
And everybody singing
La la la la la
And the bells are ringing

La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la...~*~
Ryoko smiled and began walking to one end of the stage, doing the same she did in the middle.....
~*~Inside an empty room
My inspiration flows
Now wait to hear the tune
Around my head it goes
The magic melody
You want to sing with me
Just la la la la la
The music is the key
And now the night is gone
Still it goes on and on
So deep inside of me
I long to set it free
I don't know what to do
Just can't explain to you
I don't know what to say
Oh, not another word~*~
Ryoko walked to the other end of the stage were her friends were. She walked off the stage and up to her friends. She grabbed Tenchi's hand and began pulling him to the stage.....
~*~Just la la la la la
It goes around the world
Just la la la la la
It's all around the world
Just la la la la la
And everybody singing
La la la la la

La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la~*~
Once on stage, Ryoko grabbed Tenchi's hands and placed them on her hips. She kept her hands on his until the music's beat began to pick up again. Then she placed her arms around Tenchi's neck, her back against his chest......
~*~The kisses of the sun
Around, around, around the world
La la la la la
It goes around the world
Just la la la la la
It's all around the world
Just la la la la la

And now the bells are ringing~*~
Tenchi wrapped her arms around Ryoko's waist, making her almost jump, but it wasn't really noticable. He began swaying his hips with Ryoko's as the music slowly began to end.....

The crowd screamed when the song ended. Ryoko was laughing as she leaned her head back on Tenchi's shoulder. "Have fun?" she whispered to Tenchi, covering up the mic. "Well, there you go you guys! Your daily song! Did you like? ::audience screams:: I'll take that as a yes! Well, I hope you guys enjoy the rest of the evening! And remember to tip the waitress's. It's the least you could do for us! Until tomorrow!!!" ::crowd screams again::
Ryoko bowwed, as well as Tenchi, then the lights went out. Tenchi and Ryoko, as well as the dancers, all quickly walked off stage. Ryoko stayed in her outfit as she and Tenchi walked back onto the clubs main dance floor. As they walked out, Onmibus began to play.
"Well Tenchi, one of the last songs of the night, wanna dance?" asked Ryoko as she walked onto the dance floor.
"Sure!"
Ryoko grabbed his hand and led him to the middle of the dance floor. Ryoko wrapped her arms around his neck as Tenchi wrapped his around her waist. Ryoko began swaying her hips to the beat of the music, making Tenchi do the same. Ryoko brought down her hands to behind her back, placing her hands on top of his.
"Ok ladies and germs, this is offically the last dance of the night!" began the dj. "I want you ladies and gents to grab the guy or girl you've been dancing with and share this last dance with them. Thank you all for coming and good night!"
Another song began to play called My Sacrafice by Creed. Ryoko hesitated dancing with Tenchi again at first and wanted to just walk away. But before she got a chance, Tenchi grabbed her arm and turned her to face him.
"Want to share this last dance?"
Ryoko looked at him, but decided what the hell and agreed to it. After the song ended, Ryoko let go of Tenchi and began walking away. "Ryoko?" called Tenchi.
Ryoko turned around to look at him. "Yes Tenchi?"
"Could I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure. Where did you want to talk?"
"You got a dressing room somewhere or something?"
"Oh, sure. Just follow me."
Everyone began leaving the club slowly but surely as Tenchi and Ryoko walked to her dressing room. (don't get any ideas ppl!...) Ryoko closed the door behind them as she and Tenchi entered her dressing room. "What did you want to talk about Tenchi?" asked Ryoko as she took a seat at the make-up table.
"Well, first off why you've been acting all wierd since we talked just a few minutes before your act started."
"I don't know what you're talking about Tenchi."
"Look Ryoko, I don't know what's been up with you and all. I mean, come on. You're hiding a secret about Ayeka and Kamedake, and they're my best friends. You've been acting strange since the moment we left that stage. And I was just wondering what was up with you."
"Nothings wrong alright Tenchi?!" snapped Ryoko as she turned to face him in his chair. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with me. I act strange at times too Tenchi. Everyone does. It's called human nature here on Earth. Or did you not know that?!" Ryoko covered her mouth with her hand after realziing what she just said. She walked up to Tenchi and took her hand in his. "Look Tenchi, I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said just now. I was just a little annoyed because you were butting into my personal life. Plu the day I've had so far doesn't help me much either. To tell you the truth, I don't know what's wrong with me. But I promise this, the moment I know, I'll make sure to tell you since you're dieing to know. K?"
"Alright. And don't worry about that. I deserved it," said Tenchi as he placed his other hand on the side of her.
Ryoko smiled and just starred into Tenchi's eyes. Her smile slowly began to fade as Tenchi's face slowly began to lean in towards her's. Ryoko's eyes closed and she held her breath as she felt Tenchi's lips lightly touch her's. 'I don't get it, why am I letting him do this doing this? Why am I doing this? Why can't I pull away? Why...Oh, I don't care anymore...' she thought to herself as Tenchi began to deepen the kiss. Ryoko did the only thing she could think of. She wrapped her arms around his neck to help deepen it.
After what seemed like hours, Tenchi and Ryoko finally broke away for some air, and just starred in each other's eyes. Ryoko smiled slightly and hugged Tenchi. Tenchi did the same and burried his face into her neck. They stayed like that for a while, just holding each other. They slowly began to rock back and forth as if music began to play for their ears to hear only.
//back with everyone else//
"Hey, where's Ryoko and Tenchi?" asked Ryo when he and Mya caught up with everyone.
"I don't know. I heard some fighting in the dressing room area. It sounded like Ryoko. But it stopped the moment I walked into the hallway. So I figured it was probably nothing. Do you think that was her and Tenchi?" explained Keiko.
"It could be, but why would she and Tenchi be fighting?" asked Lia.
"Who knows. This is Ryoko we're talking about here," said Yusuke.
"Good point. Do you think that one of us should go see if they're ready to leave?"
"You guys looking for us?" asked Ryoko as she walked up behind Yusuke.
"Where were you guys?" asked Duo.
"Just talking."
"Was that you yelling in one of the dressing rooms then?" asked Hilde.
"Probably. But why don't we worry about that tomorrow. We got to get home."
"Alright."
So everyone left, Ryoko locking up since Hiryuusenshi hadn't shown back up.
//Monday morning//
Another Monday morning, again, for Ryoko Hakubi. She was tired from the weekend she had and was thinking of her and Tenchi. They had spent the whole weekend together with no one else around and talked about what had happened on Firday night/Saturday morning. They decided to become a couple and see how things turned out between them. Both hoping that everything would turn out ok. Tenchi because he appearently really like Ryoko and wanted to begin a relationship with her. Ryoko because she didn't want to go through another relationship and have to break up and lose a great friend. All because the guy didn't care for her as much as he said he did. Ryoko was praying to everything she knew, hoping that things would turn out alright.
"Ryoko!" someone called from behind.
Ryoko turned around and smiled when she saw Tenchi. "Hey Tenchi! What are you doing so late for school?"
Tenchi pecked Ryoko on the cheek and smiled. "Believe it or not, I couldn't find my science book or notes. So I was looking for them. Becoming late in the process."
"That sounds a lot like me ya know."
Tenchi chuckled and kissed Ryoko again, this time longer. After, they walked to school, just making it to school about 2 minutes before the bell rang. They both went to their lockers to put away or grab some books. Luckily their luckers were right next to each other.
"Hey you two!" greeted Clay and Mya as they walked up to Ryoko and Tenchi. Ryo, Lia, Ayeka, and Kamedake right behind them.
"Hey you guys. What's up?" greeted back Ryoko as she closed her locker.
"Nothing much as usual," said Clay. "How bout you? How was your weekend?"
"Ummmm, you could say quite.....interesting. Yours?"
"Same ol', same ol'. How was your's so 'interesting?'"
The bell rang, indicating that first hour was about ot begin. Ryoko smiled and leaned in to kiss Tenchi. "Let's just say, quite entertaining for the most part. See ya guys in class. Shall we go Tenchi?"
Tenchi shock his head yes and followed Ryoko to their class, hand in hand. Ryoko leaned in and whispered in Tenchi's ear, "That should boggle their minds for a while."
Tenchi smiled and wrapped his arm around Ryoko.
As for their friends and the rest of the students who saw what had just happened, their mouths hung open, all of them just gawking at what they just saw.
"Did what just happen, happen?" asked Ayeka when she finally snapped out of it.
"I...I think so..." said Kamedake, still a little dazed.
"Wait a minute! Did we just miss something between those two?!" exclaimed Ryo.
"I guess so," replied Lia as she and the others began walking to class.
"Ok, that's it, the moment I get the chance, I'm making them explain this all to me!" demanded Ryo.
"And I'm pretty sure everyone else is think the same thing," said Lia.
So everyone walked into their first hour class and found Ryoko and Tenchi talking to each other at their seats like nothing had happened. Everyone shrugged it off and decided to question it later. So they all walked to their seats just in time for the bell.........
