"Listen here Miss Ryoko! You were assigned chores today and you should do them!" The Crowned Prince held the former space pirate by the collar.
"No, you listen here! I don't have to do anything you tell me to!" Ryoko broke free from the Princess' grip. "You don't have a damn say in how this household is run. You don't rule this home."
Tenchi walked in to the living room, sighing as he earwigged on the girls quarrelling. Ayeka turned slightly away from Ryoko, clutching her chest.
"Lord Tenchi, Miss Ryoko believes she has no right to do any chores. She is a freeloader, and you must put her in her place!" Ayeka narrowed her eyes at her rival.
"Ryoko, everyone has to pull their weight around here. You just need to know when to let up."
"So, you are saying it is my fault?" Ryoko eyes widen.
"No…I am just saying that…maybe you need to just comply with Ayeka, understand her reasoning."
"You agree with her, is that what you are saying?" Ryoko simplified folding her arms before her.
Tenchi hesitated, "Yes. But- "Oh shut up Tenchi. I am out of here!" Ryoko quickly phased away not giving room for Tenchi to explain further. Ayeka turned to him, she uttered to him that Ryoko would return disregarding the occurrence of the morning.
"No Lady Ayeka, I know her. She is not going to speak to me for a while. I just know it." He grunted strolling over to the stairwell. "I am going to take a bath. I'll be down for breakfast shortly."
"Yes, Lord Tenchi." Ayeka spoke with no hesitation bowing. Straightening up she peered out to the lake. 'Ryoko, please come back.'
Ryoko rested on the steps of the cave, she was jolted out of her thoughts when Ryo-Ohki appeared with Sasami.
"Hey there Ryoko! Hope you were not waiting for me long?"
"Well, I was just resting…clearing my head. How was your time with Yugi?" She patted the cabbit's head.
"Were you really? Or You are hiding from Ayeka?" Sasami knelt beside Ryoko.
"You know me too well, kiddo." Ryoko smiled.
"Well, have to give the credit to Tsunami." Sasami patted her head with her knuckle and chuckled.
"Yugi is looking peaceful as always. Cannot wait until she wakes up."
"Oh, I am not looking forward for that demon child to wake up anytime soon." Ryoko shook her head jokingly with her eyes closed.
"Ryoko!" Sasami stared at her playfully. "Take all the time you need. I will save you a plate!" She waved descending the steps.
Ryoko made herself comfortable as she closed her eyes.
"I am back!" Sasami announced as she placed on her apron and prepared the breakfast.
"Have you seen Ryoko?" Ayeka remorsefully questioned, feeling a pang of guilt hitting her.
"Yep, I will be preparing her plate for when she comes back."
"Let us get the food out." The little sister ordered. Ayeka disappointedly nodded as she followed her sister out.
Breakfast was a bit quiet, no one dared to ask the question of their missing occupant. Washu retired to the lab hoping to find Ryoko. Washu pursed her lips as she strolled to every corner of her lab no sign of the pirate. Shrugging she turned her attention back to her work.
"Ryoko, are you in there? Listen, I am sorry if I disappointed you." He knocked once more. "Ryoko?"
Ayeka paused at the stairwell as she nervously awaited any sign of the pirate in her room. Tenchi opened the door, he stepped in causing the light to flicker to life. No sign of her.
"She hasn't come back." Ayeka uttered behind him.
Ryoko felt relaxed. This was a different type of nap. She felt herself go into a deep slumber and despite it being strange. It felt welcoming, like she wanted to keep this state of relaxation.
Ryoko turned to her side. A small part of her tongue ran across her bottom lip, feeling parched she opened her eyes. She looked around the room, her eyes narrowed as she took in the environment. Feeling puzzled, she ran her hands throughout her body. Her clothing was form fitting, a pink T-shirt, and shorts. Her hair, ran straight down her back, brushing her bangs out of her face she swung her legs planting them on the carpeted flooring.
Approaching the door before her, she turned the knob peeking her head out. Ahead of her, was a short hallway leading to a living room. She peeked over to her left noticing the bathroom and to her right a walking closet. Approaching the opening to the living room, she walked over to a desk noticing the coffee heat rising.
"Good Morning." A voice came from behind her. She turned her mouth agape. "Slept well?"
Ryoko stared not finding the words to say. She merely nodded not breaking her stare. She was quickly pulled into an embrace. It felt warm and safe. Her anxiety leaving her psyche.
"Yes, I did." Ryoko found her voice as she separated from him blushing.
"Was beginning to think the baby kept you up." He laughed walked over to his desk. Ryoko brows furrowed.
"Baby?" She questioned. She watched him turn to her peculiarly.
"Yes." He approached her once more placing a hand on her stomach. She eyed him as he looked to the ceiling probing around her belly. "Pregnancy brain already. I think I felt it kick." He laughed walking away from her.
"Your being silly." Ryoko glanced down at her stomach unaware she was approaching him.
"I am silly." He commented typing on his computer. Ryoko reached over placing her hand over his, eyeing the gold ring he was wearing. She lifted her left hand to notice a matching ring.
"What?" He questioned causing her to break her concentration from the ring. She shook her head stepping away as he rose. "I will be going now. Breakfast is already made." Ryoko smiled at the thought of food. He brought her closer to him, holding her head to kiss her. As he kissed her, Ryoko felt familiarity. She felt happiness and longed for more from this encounter. They parted staring at each other.
"Take care of yourself." He walked off glancing back at her with a wave. Ryoko smiled as returned the wave.
"Washu, there has to be a way of locating Ryoko!" Tenchi shot up from the couch.
Beside him, Sasami dabbed at the tears that ran down her cheeks. "I saw her outside of Yugi's cave…did not realize it will be the last time I will be seeing her."
"I am understanding your concerns, Ryoko has been pulled into another dimension." Washu told the grieving family.
"How by who, little Washu?" Ayeka held her sister as she grieved.
"Hotsuma, of course."
"Yugi's servant? Why would he do such a thing?" Tenchi questioned angrily.
"He was Ryoko's partner. From my understanding, Ryoko left space with him shortly after the carnival." Kiyone uttered crossing her left leg over her right. Tenchi eyed the teal haired woman.
"Was it something more between them?" He questioned not really wanting to hear the truth.
"Possibly, but if they were…" Kiyone trailed off glancing at Sasami.
"They kept it a secret." Mihoshi added. Tenchi sighed as he returned his attention to Washu.
"What now?" He almost feeling defeated. "How can we bring her back?"
Washu pursed her lips, "It is going to be tough. I may have to abruptly wake Yugi so she can intercept Hotsuma, predicting he will release Ryoko. I will have to stay in the current world to watch our world and his."
"Lord Tenchi and I will go." Ayeka volunteered.
"Very well. Allow me twenty-four hours to get back to you."
Ryoko woke with a start upon hearing the door opened.
"Hey, how was your day?" Ryoko greeted Hotsuma at the door.
"It has just gotten better." He embraced her, planting kisses on her neck. Ryoko blushed as he held her tighter. Ryoko gasped as Hotsuma claimed her lips. He picked her up taking her into the room.
A/N: What you guys think? I looked around before I decided to take the leap in writing this story. I always wonder every time I watch Tenchi Muyo! Forever, what would happen if it was Ryoko who was sucked into another dimension.
