Silent love:

Secrets

By Ninja Misao

At the Masaki residence life was going as usual Ayeka and Ryoko fighting for Tenchi's love while Kiyone was yelling at Mihoshi for doing something dumb. Washu and Yosho would sit in silence and watch the craziness ensue drinking their hot greet tea. They would not sit together rather some what apart so they would not rouse any suspicion.

As the day went on Washu would be stuck in her lab working on tons of experiments while Katsuhito was training Tenchi. But when night came and everyone was inside eating dinner Washu would walk out to the temple and enjoy some nice hot green Tea with Tenchi's Grandpa. Their nightly meetings were kept just between them and no one else but that night was different there was some else watching them that night. Watching from a distant a light blue haired space pirate disappeared back to the house.

Morning came everyone was heading over toward the dinning room for something to Sasami's wonderful breakfast. Ryoko didn't head over to the dinning room instead she sat down on the couch and looked at and blank TV. She was trying to collect her though about what she saw last night, Washu and Yosho siting silently enjoy some tea, she wanted to think it was just that but there was something more to it. With a heavy sigh the blue haired space pirate looked up at the ceiling and then got back up. They kept it a secret and it will stay that way they had a right to their privacy. Ryoko though to her self as she joined everyone at the table.

In the dinning room everyone was enjoying their meals they all laughed as Mihoshi was eating like a horse and Ayeka was baby feeding Tenchi. Ryoko was about to protest when she looked over at her more who was sitting a little more closer to Yosho than before. But she quickly looked away and decided to argue with Ayeka, the two argued until breakfast was over and they went their separate ways.

Everyone was leaving the table except Washu and Katsuhito. They sat in silence and finished their meals, while holding each other's hand. "Do you think she suspects something?" The gray haired man asked. "Yes..." the small pink haired genius said looking down. " You should talk to her..." Yosho said lifting Washu's head to meet his violet eyes. The small pink haired genius only nodded as she poured some more green tea.

In the TV room Mihoshi was singing to the Space man theme song while Ryoko just sat there next to the hyper girl in silence. Few hours later the hyper girl was sleep drooling on the couch when the small pink haired genus walked in. Ryoko looked toward her mother who sat down next to her on the couch. "Ryoko... Umm I don't know who to put this..." " I already know mom and don't worry I wont tell anyone else it's not my place to." The cyan haired space pirate said before letting her mother finish. Washu was shocked to hear those words leave her daughters lips but she could felt bad about keeping it a secret from her own child. Unable to handle these her feelings right now the blue haired space pirate stood up and phased out of the room leaving a very unhappy mother behind.

On the roof a very confused Ryoko laid there looking up at the stars. She just couldn't understand why would she be angry its her mother life she could live it any way she wanted but maybe it was something more... maybe she was jealous. Ryo-Ohki hopped up on the roof siting next to her owner. Petting the little cabbit the young space pirate smiled as she closed her eyes letting sleep claim her. But little did the cyan haired lass know a certain purple haired princess caught wind of what was said in the living room. An evil smile crept across her face as she fell asleep tomorrow was going to be a terrible day indeed.

Morning came the day started out like any other day; Ayeka was trying to feed Tenchi, while everyone else was laughing. The purple haired princess would sneak stares at Washu and Yosho as often as should could her eyes widen a bit when she saw they holding hands before hiding them under the table. "So it is true." the violet haired lass said to herself with a light smile. Ryoko sat down on the other side of Tenchi. Everyone was in place; it was time to let the chaos begin.

When the normal bickering between Ayeka and Ryoko began the purple haired lass smiled a little as she blurted out. "Oh I didn't know Washu and Yosho were so close it makes you think they're in love!" By then everyone's eyes were on Washu and Yosho. The table was silent and Ryoko was speechless. "Oh yeah she was gloating on about it so much that...oh I guess they didn't know." The cyan lass turned to the couple to see anger along with embarrassment in their eyes. "Wow I didn't expect to see them getting together." Kiyone said drinking her juice. At first it looked ok until all eyes went on Ryoko. Ryoko how could you do such a thing just taking about your mother personal life! The young prince of Jurai yelled. "Yes Ryoko it was there life you had not right to just tell it to the world. Tenchi father said a little steamed.

The whole table was in an uproar the young space pirate took in all the hurtful words that was being said to her but it wasn't until her mother walked over and slapped her that it truly hurt the most. "You hurt me so much I don't think I could ever forgive you." those word hit Ryoko hard she looked down at her little cabbit who meowed sadly petting Ryo-Ohki she stood up and phased outside. Ayeka wiped Tenchi's mouth as everything died down she was shocked at how much chaos she really did cause; shaking it off the purple haired princess giggled as she and Tenchi left the table. Leaving a very upset little sister behind.
