As Ryoko sat on the roof she could feel the warmth of Tenchi sitting beside
her. He had come up to look at the stars only to see that Ryoko was already on the
roof. She had invited him to come and sit beside her. Seeing as there was not much
room the roof Tenchi had to sit very close to Tenchi. She did not seem to mind very
much but she could tell that he was blushing slightly. Today marked the anniversary of
Tenchi's okaasan's,*(MOTHER)* Achika, death. Tenchi was finding it harder this year to
deal and had seemed very quiet all during the day. Ryoko could tell that he wanted a
okaasan badly. He was growing up and a okaasan is suppose to be there to experience
those things with you. Ryoko looked over to Tenchi to see a tear fall softly down the
side of his face. "Tenchi... Aishiteru". *( I LOVE YOU)* "Ryoko, why do you ai *(LOVE)*
me so much?" How should she answer this question...things like that were not
suppose to be asked. She looked to Tenchi who was looking at her in return.
"Well, why do you ai me so much Ryoko? You must have a reason"
"Tenchi... I think I will leave you alone now " "No Ryoko, not until you tell me why it is
that you ai me so much" Tenchi said while reaching for her arm. Ryoko turned to
look at him again and smiled. " Aishiteru because you are everything to me Tenchi.
I don't know how to describe it but when you are not in the room I want you to be.
When you are in the room with me I never want you to leave. I feel a safeness with
you that I have never felt with anyone else." Ryoko replied answering his question
the best why she thought she could. Tenchi looked to her and smiled. "I was kind
of hoping that you would say that" he replied and stood to face her. "Ryoko, I have
been wanting to do this for the longest time! Ryoko... Aishiteru" Ryoko could feel
her heart drop. But it wasn't her heart that fell. Ryoko began to feel weak in the
knees and looked to Tenchi. "Tenchi..." she managed to say before passing out.

*~* LATER IN TENCHIS ROOM *~*

Tenchi looked to the clock on his right. "Wow its already 9:00. She's been
asleep for an hour" Tenchi looked back to Ryoko and smiled. "I guess I surprised
her" He smiled. He was beginning to feel a little tired and decided to lay beside
Ryoko. As he climbed into his bed he felt a yawn coming on. Careful so not to wake
Ryoko he turned to the side and yawned, covering her mouth with his arm. "Well,
I'm more tired than I thought" As he snuggled deeper into the covers he could feel
Ryoko starting to shuffle. He looked over to her and saw her shivering. The covers
were covered around her but she still seemed to be cold. Tenchi thought for a minute
and moved closer to her, trying to warm her with his own body heat. As soon as he
moved closer to her she started to wake. Tenchi quickly closed his eyes and
pretended to be fast asleep. Ryoko awoke and looked over to him, confused. She
began to shake him a little to wake up. Tenchi opened his eyes slowly and looked at
her and smiled. "Hi" Ryoko looked at him and gasped noticing that his shirt was off.
"Tenchi.. did we...?'' Tenchi laughed. "No of course not, You passed out on the roof
so I brought you up here. I only removed my shirt because I was hot." Ryoko sighed.
"Well..... goodni-" But she was unable to finish her sentence. Tenchi slowly put his
hand on her cheek and softly kissed her lips. "Aishiteru, Ryoko. Would you marry
me?" Ryoko smiled and passed out. Tenchi only smiled and rolled over to go to sleep.
