A/N: Hey this is my first fanfic. Tenchi hurts Ryoko and she realizes she doesn't need him. TM and DBZ crossover. "." = talking '.' = thinking
There's Nothing I Can't Face
She hated Ayeka so badly. She just wanted to tear Ayeka's head off. She also hated Tenchi for giving her false hopes, making her believe she would be the one, but no she wasn't. She just wanted to cry herself to death. But she couldn't do that, she had to remain strong and not be bothered by the actions that occurred about an hour ago.
** Flashback**(one hour earlier) Ryoko was sitting on the branch of a Sakura tree when she saw Tenchi and Ayeka passing by. She decided to spy on them so she silently followed behind. After walking for a couple of minutes, Tenchi and Aeka stopped walking and began to talk.
Ayeka-"Lord Tenchi there is something I must tell you."
Tenchi-"What is it Miss Aeka?"
Aeka-"I...well...um what I'm trying to say is that...um...I...I love you."
As she said this she turned quickly to the side and planted her lips firmly on his. She wrapped her arms around him and he wrapped his around her. They both started to push their bodies together and deepen the kiss. Tears started to form in Ryoko's eyes as she witnessed the scene.
She teleported herself to a deserted mountain side and flew around with tears streaming down her face. Suddenly she stopped in midair with her eyes closed. She opened them and they were glowing blood red. Her face had anger written all over it. Electricity began to crackle around her as she powered up. She formed a huge energy ball in her hand and threw it at a mountain. It exploded into millions of tiny pieces and a BIG hole was what was left of it.
**Flashback**
And that is where she was now, lying on the ground amongst the ruble, crying her eyes out.
Ryoko-'Why am I the one to always get hurt? I should have known that he would never love a demon like me. Why did I even bother.'
After she had thought this she began to cry again.
Not to far off from where Ryoko had blown up the mountain an 18-year old guy with lavender hair was sparring with his father who had spiky black hair. Both father and son had sensed a very, very, very powerful Ki and heard a very loud noise. (Just to let you know, Veggie and Trunks are here because they went through a dimensional vortex while training but they didn't notice this yet, that will be explained by Washu later. And Bulma and Veggie aren't married.)
Trunks-"What the hell was that?"
Vegeta-"Finally, someone worth my presence."
Trunks-"Um, dad you did sense that Ki right. I just want to tell you that whoever that person is you have no chance."
At this Vegeta smacked his son in the head and started to scream at him.
Vegeta-"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO THE PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS!"
Trunks-"But dad ."
Vegeta cut him off as he flew into the air.
Vegeta-"Come on, we're going to see who has that powerful Ki."
Trunks-"Fine."
Vegeta and Trunks flew into the air and seeked out the persons Ki. They found it but it was a tiny bit weaker then before. They flew toward it at a fast pace. As they neared closer they saw a woman lying on the floor.
Vegeta-"What the HELL? Who is that WOMAN? How did she get so POWERFUL?"
After he had stated this Vegeta teleported next to Ryoko. Trunks flew down and stood next to his father. Ryoko lifted her head and looked up at the two men in front of her. Vegeta was staring back at her. Trunks became nervous at the way she was staring at them. Her eyes were filled with anger and hidden pain.
Ryoko-"What do you want?"
Vegeta-"I want to fight you, that is if you are brave enough to fight the prince of all Saiyans."
Ryoko stood up and stared at him.
Ryoko-"Listen prince, if you don't want to die you'll leave."
Vegeta-"Are you threatening me?"
Ryoko-"No. I'm warning you."
Vegeta-"So you will fight me because I'm not leaving."
Ryoko-"You sure. You might regret it at the end."
Vegeta-"I'm positive, it's not like you'll win."
Ryoko-"Don't be so confident."
They took battle stances and Ryoko phased into her red and black battle suit, her face had no signs that showed that she was crying before.
Trunks-"Dad what are you doing. You're not actually gonna fight a woman right."
Ryoko had appeared in front of Trunks with her energy sword pointed to his neck.
Ryoko-"What are you saying. Are you saying I'm weak."
Trunks-"No that's not what I'm saying at all."
Ryoko-"So what are you saying?"
Trunks-"I.um.well.um ."
Vegeta-"Are you going to fight or have you chickened out woman."
Ryoko-"I never chicken out on anything. And when I'm done with you I'm going to kill your friend over there too."
Trunks- (Gulp)
So the two opponents began to fight. Ryoko made her energy sword and flew towards Vegeta. A couple inches away from his body she teleported behind him and slashed at his back. She cut him on the shoulder before he teleported away. Vegeta grunted in pain a bit as it slashed him.
Ryoko- "Hahahahaha. I think you should surrender now if that hurt because you can bet that I'm gonna slash at you more.
Vegeta-"I never surrender. Especially not to a woman."
Ryoko-"Then I guess you die today."
Ryoko let him get up and Vegeta took that as a chance to hit her. He stood up quickly and threw an energy blast at her. It hit her in the hip and she fell. She healed herself and teleported in front of Vegeta and started to throw punches and kicks at him. He was doing the same. She flew up into the air and made an energy ball and threw it at him. He threw one at her. The two energy balls collided and exploded. Both fighters were thrown on the floor a couple of feet from each other.
Ryoko had a cut on her forehead and was unconscious with little cuts on her arms and legs and blood was slowly flowing out of her mouth. Vegeta was lying on the floor with deep cuts on his arms and legs. He stood up slowly and made a small energy ball in his hand.
Vegeta-"I told you I was going to kill you."
He hurled the ball at Ryoko but when it came near her it bounced off an energy shield and went to the side. After a while, after her healing system had kicked in and healed her, Ryoko stood up with no cuts visible on her body. The two men stood there staring.
Vegeta-"But.But.But how?"
Ryoko-"I told you already you would die. But no, you are way too over confident. It's really to bad that I'm gonna kill you and him (she points at Trunks), he's pretty cute."
Trunks-'W.wh.what did she say?"
And Trunks stood there surprise shown on his face. She charged at Vegeta but Tsunami had jumped in front of him creating an energy shield around them which caused Ryoko to stop so that she would not get thrown back against the floor.(In this fic Ryoko has all three gems giving her the power of a Goddess. That's why she kicked the crap out of Vegeta.) Tsunami- "Ryoko stop. Don't kill him. Please."
Ryoko-"And why not?"
Tsunami-"Because he's an innocent person."
Ryoko-"Well he started it and I'm gonna finish it."
Tsunami-"No Ryoko don't kill him, take him to Washu so she can heal him."
Ryoko-"He's the one who came and asked for a fight."
Tsunami-"Don't kill him, don't go back to the way you used to be before."
Ryoko cringed at the word "before" because she knew that Tsunami was referring to the time Kagato had controlled her. Painful memories flooded her mind.
Ryoko-"Fine. Hey you over there."
Trunks-"M. me?"
Ryoko-"Yeah you, come over here and pick up your friend, then follow me."
Trunks-"Okay."
Ryoko phased into her blue and yellow striped dress and Trunks walked over to his father, picked him up, and flew through the sky after Ryoko while Tsunami walked. He had just noticed Ryoko's tail.
Trunks-'O MY GOD! Is she a Saiyan? No that can't be, all female Saiyans were killed by Frieza so that the warriors would not fall in love and become weak. She can't be a Sayian or can she? '
He pondered over this as they flew for a couple of minutes when they suddenly reached Tenchi's home.
Ryoko-"Come on and follow me."
Ryoko's voice snapped him out of his thinking.
Ryoko-".and watch out for Washu, if she thinks you're cute she'll try to get a "sample"."
Trunks-"Who's Washu?"
Ryoko-"You'll see. Just hurry and follow me."
Trunks-"Ok."
The two of them walked to the lab with Tsunami behind them. They stopped in front of the storage closets door then walked in after a moments hesitation hoping not to get attacked by some crazy creature Washu created. Trunks was looking around in amazement.
Trunks-"How did she fit all this in a storage closet?"
Ryoko-"This lab is in a sub-space dimension fitted into the storage closet."
Trunks-"Oh."
Ryoko-" Washu there's a person here who needs your help."
There was no reply so in an agitated voice Ryoko called again.
Ryoko-" Mom! there's a person here who needs your help."
Washu had appeared out of nowhere and faced Ryoko.
Washu-"Now that's the type of respect you should always pay to your mother, but anyway where is that person you were talking about."
Ryoko moved to the side and told Trunks to set his father on the table that had appeared after Washu took a glance at the man in Trunks's arms.
Washu-"I don't think proper introductions have been made yet."
Trunks-"Oh yeah, I'm Trunks and that man is my father, Vegeta."
Ryoko-"I'm Ryoko, the space pirate."
Washu-" I am the smartest and cutest scientific genius in the whole universe, Little Washu. And you better call me that or I'll make you my guinea pig, got it."
Trunks-"Um.I guess."
Tsunami-"I am princess Tsunami of Jurai and one of the three goddesses who created the universe. You'll meet everybody else later."
Trunks-"Okay."
They left the lab and went to the kitchen. Tsunami had stayed with Vegeta. Ryoko glanced at Tenchi's back and turned her head to the side so that Trunks would not notice the tears that threatened to fall but he did.
Trunks-"Ryoko what's wrong."
Ryoko-"Nothing."
She turned her head and forced a smile. She slowly walked into the dining room with Trunks behind her.
Ryoko-"Um, Guys this is Trunks. He has to stay here cause Washu is healing his father.
Tenchi turned toward her and stared in her eyes. She turned her gaze towards the ground pretending to be very interested in it to avoid his gaze.
Tenchi-"Why? What happened?"
Ryoko-" He challenged me to fight with him to the death so I beat him up. I was gonna kill him but Tsunami stopped me."
Tenchi-" Oh ok."
Ryoko-" Come on Trunks sit next to Ayeka, I think she likes you." Ryoko said jokingly. Trunks blushed.
Ayeka-" You demon, you know that the only person I love is Lord Tenchi. And did you know that Lord Tenchi loves me not you, you demon."
Ryoko-"Hahahaha. Like anyone can love you, you stuck-up brat. Not even your mother loves you."
Aeka-" Grrrrrrr. That is it, you're dead."
Aeka powered up and mini logs started to appear around her. Ryoko stood there in a bored fashion and sighed. Ayeka attacked Ryoko with her mini logs. She sent wave after wave of Jurian energy at Ryoko. Ryoko stood unfazed.
Ryoko-"Is that the best you can do. I'll show you the true meaning of power."
Before Tenchi could say anything Ryoko sent multiple energy balls at Aeka each one stronger than the last. She was taking her anger out on Aeka not thinking of the consequences. Aeka was struggling to hold her shield up feeling very faint and weak. Ryoko made one final energy ball and threw it at Aeka but Tenchi jumped in front activating the Light Hawk Wings.
Ryoko-"Tenchi.?"
It was too late the energy ball came back at her except it was 10 times stronger. She tried to hold it back but it was breaking trough the shield. She was too worn out from fighting Aeka so she couldn't hold it back. She was going to die.
Ryoko-"Ahhhhhh, Tenchiiiiii!"
She awaited for the impact but it never came. She opened her eyes and saw Trunks struggling to hold the energy ball. He threw it to the side and it went through the wall and out into the forest. Trunks was panting from the effort.
Trunks-"How dare you try to hit a woman. Have you no decency."
Tenchi-" I.I.I."
Trunks-"Don't talk, your words are useless."
Ryoko had teleported out onto the roof by now wanting to be alone and wondering why Trunks risked his life for her. Trunks teleported next to Ryoko.
Trunks-"Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
Ryoko-"I'm fine."
Trunks-"Are you sure?"
Ryoko-"I.I."
She couldn't say anymore. It was too painful. Her eyes brimmed with tears and then they fell.
Trunks-"Ryoko what's wrong?"
Ryoko-"Nothing, just leave me alone."
Trunks-"What's wrong Ryoko."
He didn't get an answer because she had teleported away wanting to be alone. Trunks went after her. He appeared in front of a cave and walked in. He saw a passage, flew down it and saw Ryoko. She was sitting, facing towards her former resting place with Tenchi-Ken thrown aside next to her. Tears fell into the pool making the water ripple. She just kept looking at her reflection remembering all the good times she had with Tenchi and the rest. But that was over, she was going back to space.
Trunks looked at Ryoko's crying form, pain stung his heart. He walked over and sat next to her putting one arm around her. She looked at him with a tear stained face then looked back at her reflection. She closed her eyes.
*******In The Lab**********
Tsunami was sitting in a chair next to the regeneration tank. Something didn't seem right. It was as if Trunks and Vegeta were from another universe. They didn't belong here and she felt as though something terrible was to happen.
Tsunami-" Where are you from?" She whispered quietly.
Washu-"That's an easy question to answer. They are from a parallel universe. Universe B67F93E."
Tsunami-"So that's why they don't seem familiar."
Washu-" Exactly. Oh, and they're Saiy-jins, a warrior race that died a couple hundred years ago. They are some of the only Saiya-jins left and they're royalty.
Tsunami-"Well that explains many things."
Vegeta began to twitch slightly and then opened his eyes slowly. He instantly shot up pulling many wires that were taped to him off of his body. He noticed the surroundings and they did not seem familiar.
Vegeta-"Where the hell am I ?!"
He looked down and noticed the child and the woman. His face suddenly turned to an angry one and he flew up quickly unaware of the energy shield put over the lab. He was electrocuted and fell down slightly paralyzed. Naturally he stood up not believing in being defeated by a stupid energy field. He thought of another tactic and turned toward the two females a smirk gracing his features. He instantly flew toward Tsunami and threw an energy ball to distract her. It worked and she instantly brought up a Jurian force field deflecting the blast. He was behind her but his mistake was forgetting about the child. He thought she would have ran away by now but boy was he wrong. She materialized in front of him just as he was about to punch Tsunami in the back.
Washu-"You shouldn't judge your opponents. You would be surprised at what they can do"
As she said this she threw her energy sword at him and it went through his shoulder before he materialized away. But when he reappeared the sword was still impaled in his shoulder. The stinging was unbearable and he looked at his wound. His eyes widened in shock a bit as he looked toward his opponents. The one with blue hair was floating in the air a strange glow emitting from her. The two dots on her forehead were glowing and she was making an energy ball in her hand. Strange waves were emitting from the ball making Vegeta sleepy. He looked down at the one with pink hair and saw her in a medative state. Now that he realized it he was getting very sleepy. He couldn't keep his eyes open no matter how hard he tried and after a couple of seconds fell down fast asleep. Washu's eyes shot open and she looked at the collapsed man on the floor in front of her. She sighed as Tsunami floated down next to her.
Washu-" Well I better put him in the rejuvenation tank and tell Ryoko that her guest's father is addicted to killing things."
Tsunami-"Yes put him in there but also put a sleeping gas in his body so that he doesn't wake up and try to kill us again."
Washu-"No problem for a genius. Hehe."
******Back At The Cave*********
Ryoko and Trunks were still sitting on the cold ground. Trunks had his arm around her shoulder and he was comforting her.
Ryoko-"Trunks?"
Trunks-"Hn?"
Ryoko-"Why did you save me?"
Trunks-"Instinct and the fact that I don't believe in hitting women."
Ryoko-"Oh. Trunks can you do a big favor for me?"
Trunks-"What kind of favor?"
Ryoko-"Can you tell my mother I said goodbye?"
Trunks-"Why? Where are you going?"
Ryoko-"I'm going back to space. They don't need me here. They'd be better off without me."
Trunks-"Don't say that Ryoko, besides I think that Tenchi is a bit too scrawny for you. You need someone who's strong to protect you."
Ryoko chuckled a bit.
Ryoko-"So what are you implying Mr.BigMan. Are you saying you want to protect me."
Trunks blushed but spoke using the same tone Ryoko had.
Trunks-"And what if I am? What do you plan on doing to stop me?"
Ryoko-"Wouldn't you like to know."
She jumped up and flew towards the entrance. Trunks did the same and tackled her. They landed and Trunks just happened to land on top of her. Their lips were dangerously close as they stared into each other's eyes. The distance between their lips began to fade when suddenly Aeka stepped in the cave and saw what was happening.
Aeka-"YOU HUSSY. IT HAS ONLY BEEN FOUR HOURS SINCE TENCHI DECLARED HIS LOVE FOR ME AND YOU'RE HERE MAKING OUT WITH A COMPLETE STRANGER"
It was now that jealousy could be detected. Both Trunks and Ryoko noticed her sudden change in behavior. Ryoko and Trunks got up quickly and stood a couple feet away from each other. Then suddenly Ryoko got a mischievious thought. She grinned with an evil look on her face.
Ryoko-"Don't tell me your jealous of me. I mean you do have Tenchi so back off."
She walked over to Trunks seductively and put her arms around his neck.
Ryoko-"You wouldn't be jealous if I kissed him now would you."
She leaned in close and grazed his lips with hers.
Ayeka's face turned a deep crimson as she watched the interaction. She was boiling mad. This man was way cuter than Tenchi and Ryoko had to come along and steal him.
Ayeka-"You slut how dare you put your hands on him. Can you not see that he is disgusted by you."
Ryoko-"Oh, so you are jealous."
Ayeka -"I am not."
Ryoko-"Then if you aren't, leave."
Ayeka-"Fine I will."
She humphed and walked away grumbling.
Ryoko burst out laughing and so did Trunks.
A/N: Hey this is my first fanfic. Tenchi hurts Ryoko and she realizes she doesn't need him. TM and DBZ crossover. "." = talking '.' = thinking
There's Nothing I Can't Face
She hated Ayeka so badly. She just wanted to tear Ayeka's head off. She also hated Tenchi for giving her false hopes, making her believe she would be the one, but no she wasn't. She just wanted to cry herself to death. But she couldn't do that, she had to remain strong and not be bothered by the actions that occurred about an hour ago.

As she said this she turned quickly to the side and planted her lips firmly on his. She wrapped her arms around him and he wrapped his around her. They both started to push their bodies together and deepen the kiss. Tears started to form in Ryoko's eyes as she witnessed the scene.

Trunks-"Um, dad you did sense that Ki right. I just want to tell you that whoever that person is you have no chance."
At this Vegeta smacked his son in the head and started to scream at him.
Vegeta-"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO THE PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS!"
Trunks-"But dad ."
Vegeta cut him off as he flew into the air.
Vegeta-"Come on, we're going to see who has that powerful Ki."
Trunks-"Fine."
Vegeta and Trunks flew into the air and seeked out the persons Ki. They found it but it was a tiny bit weaker then before. They flew toward it at a fast pace. As they neared closer they saw a woman lying on the floor.
Vegeta-"What the HELL? Who is that WOMAN? How did she get so POWERFUL?"
After he had stated this Vegeta teleported next to Ryoko. Trunks flew down and stood next to his father. Ryoko lifted her head and looked up at the two men in front of her. Vegeta was staring back at her. Trunks became nervous at the way she was staring at them. Her eyes were filled with anger and hidden pain.
Ryoko-"What do you want?"

Vegeta-"Are you threatening me?"
Ryoko-"No. I'm warning you."
Vegeta-"So you will fight me because I'm not leaving."
Ryoko-"You sure. You might regret it at the end."
Vegeta-"I'm positive, it's not like you'll win."
Ryoko-"Don't be so confident."
They took battle stances and Ryoko phased into her red and black battle suit, her face had no signs that showed that she was crying before.
Trunks-"Dad what are you doing. You're not actually gonna fight a woman right."
Ryoko had appeared in front of Trunks with her energy sword pointed to his neck.
Ryoko-"What are you saying. Are you saying I'm weak."
Trunks-"No that's not what I'm saying at all."
Ryoko-"So what are you saying?"
Trunks-"I.um.well.um ."
Vegeta-"Are you going to fight or have you chickened out woman."
Ryoko-"I never chicken out on anything. And when I'm done with you I'm going to kill your friend over there too."
Trunks- (Gulp)
So the two opponents began to fight. Ryoko made her energy sword and flew towards Vegeta. A couple inches away from his body she teleported behind him and slashed at his back. She cut him on the shoulder before he teleported away. Vegeta grunted in pain a bit as it slashed him.

He didn't get an answer because she had teleported away wanting to be alone. Trunks went after her. He appeared in front of a cave and walked in. He saw a passage, flew down it and saw Ryoko. She was sitting, facing towards her former resting place with Tenchi-Ken thrown aside next to her. Tears fell into the pool making the water ripple. She just kept looking at her reflection remembering all the good times she had with Tenchi and the rest. But that was over, she was going back to space.
Trunks looked at Ryoko's crying form, pain stung his heart. He walked over and sat next to her putting one arm around her. She looked at him with a tear stained face then looked back at her reflection. She closed her eyes.
*******In The Lab**********
Tsunami was sitting in a chair next to the regeneration tank. Something didn't seem right. It was as if Trunks and Vegeta were from another universe. They didn't belong here and she felt as though something terrible was to happen.
Tsunami-" Where are you from?" She whispered quietly.
Washu-"That's an easy question to answer. They are from a parallel universe. Universe B67F93E."
Tsunami-"So that's why they don't seem familiar."
Washu-" Exactly. Oh, and they're Saiy-jins, a warrior race that died a couple hundred years ago. They are some of the only Saiya-jins left and they're royalty.
Tsunami-"Well that explains many things."
Vegeta began to twitch slightly and then opened his eyes slowly. He instantly shot up pulling many wires that were taped to him off of his body. He noticed the surroundings and they did not seem familiar.
Vegeta-"Where the hell am I ?!"
He looked down and noticed the child and the woman. His face suddenly turned to an angry one and he flew up quickly unaware of the energy shield put over the lab. He was electrocuted and fell down slightly paralyzed. Naturally he stood up not believing in being defeated by a stupid energy field. He thought of another tactic and turned toward the two females a smirk gracing his features. He instantly flew toward Tsunami and threw an energy ball to distract her. It worked and she instantly brought up a Jurian force field deflecting the blast. He was behind her but his mistake was forgetting about the child. He thought she would have ran away by now but boy was he wrong. She materialized in front of him just as he was about to punch Tsunami in the back.
Washu-"You shouldn't judge your opponents. You would be surprised at what they can do"
As she said this she threw her energy sword at him and it went through his shoulder before he materialized away. But when he reappeared the sword was still impaled in his shoulder. The stinging was unbearable and he looked at his wound. His eyes widened in shock a bit as he looked toward his opponents. The one with blue hair was floating in the air a strange glow emitting from her. The two dots on her forehead were glowing and she was making an energy ball in her hand. Strange waves were emitting from the ball making Vegeta sleepy. He looked down at the one with pink hair and saw her in a medative state. Now that he realized it he was getting very sleepy. He couldn't keep his eyes open no matter how hard he tried and after a couple of seconds fell down fast asleep. Washu's eyes shot open and she looked at the collapsed man on the floor in front of her. She sighed as Tsunami floated down next to her.
Washu-" Well I better put him in the rejuvenation tank and tell Ryoko that her guest's father is addicted to killing things."
Tsunami-"Yes put him in there but also put a sleeping gas in his body so that he doesn't wake up and try to kill us again."
Washu-"No problem for a genius. Hehe."
******Back At The Cave*********
Ryoko and Trunks were still sitting on the cold ground. Trunks had his arm around her shoulder and he was comforting her.
Ryoko-"Trunks?"
Trunks-"Hn?"
Ryoko-"Why did you save me?"
Trunks-"Instinct and the fact that I don't believe in hitting women."
Ryoko-"Oh. Trunks can you do a big favor for me?"
Trunks-"What kind of favor?"
Ryoko-"Can you tell my mother I said goodbye?"
Trunks-"Why? Where are you going?"
Ryoko-"I'm going back to space. They don't need me here. They'd be better off without me."
Trunks-"Don't say that Ryoko, besides I think that Tenchi is a bit too scrawny for you. You need someone who's strong to protect you."
Ryoko chuckled a bit.
Ryoko-"So what are you implying Mr.BigMan. Are you saying you want to protect me."
Trunks blushed but spoke using the same tone Ryoko had.
Trunks-"And what if I am? What do you plan on doing to stop me?"
Ryoko-"Wouldn't you like to know."
She jumped up and flew towards the entrance. Trunks did the same and tackled her. They landed and Trunks just happened to land on top of her. Their lips were dangerously close as they stared into each other's eyes. The distance between their lips began to fade when suddenly Aeka stepped in the cave and saw what was happening.
Aeka-"YOU HUSSY. IT HAS ONLY BEEN FOUR HOURS SINCE TENCHI DECLARED HIS LOVE FOR ME AND YOU'RE HERE MAKING OUT WITH A COMPLETE STRANGER"
It was now that jealousy could be detected. Both Trunks and Ryoko noticed her sudden change in behavior. Ryoko and Trunks got up quickly and stood a couple feet away from each other. Then suddenly Ryoko got a mischievious thought. She grinned with an evil look on her face.
Ryoko-"Don't tell me your jealous of me. I mean you do have Tenchi so back off."
She walked over to Trunks seductively and put her arms around his neck.
Ryoko-"You wouldn't be jealous if I kissed him now would you."
She leaned in close and grazed his lips with hers.
Ayeka's face turned a deep crimson as she watched the interaction. She was boiling mad. This man was way cuter than Tenchi and Ryoko had to come along and steal him.
Ayeka-"You slut how dare you put your hands on him. Can you not see that he is disgusted by you."
Ryoko-"Oh, so you are jealous."
Ayeka -"I am not."
Ryoko-"Then if you aren't, leave."
Ayeka-"Fine I will."
She humphed and walked away grumbling.
Ryoko burst out laughing and so did Trunks.
