Wounded Soul Chap1: the fight.

Washu looked around. it was dark. It wasn't a surprise; it was always dark in her lab. But today. she didn't like it. Today. it was an evil dark. a lonely dark. Today she could tell that it was going to be a bad day. She looked back at her computer. The time was 4:00 P.M. lunch was over now. She slides off her chair and headed towards the door. She opened the door only a crack and she could hear Tenchi screaming. 'Looks like I missed another massive fight from Ryoko and Aeka.' She looked back into the emptiness. 'Loneliness' was the word she thought of. She tuned back and walked out.

"Why can't you two just grow up? I mean, everyday there's another big fight from you two! You don't care how I feel, you don't care how everyone else feels, and you don't even care about the others' lives! Can't you two just STOP????????" during Tenchi's speech he started to scream. He didn't even notice the looks on everyone's faces. 'He's not usually like this.' Washu thought. She walked over to Sasami and asked, "What happened here Sasami?" Sasami looked at her. "Ryoko and Aeka had a big fight. They almost killed Mihoshi and myself." she whispered. "I see." Washu looked back at Tenchi. He really did care for all the girls in here.

"But Tenchi." "No buts' Ryoko! I'm tired of you two fighting! You two are fighting for my love right? Well hasn't it accrued to you two that by fighting it only drives me away?" Ryoko and Aeka looked down, they were almost in tears. That's it. Washu couldn't take it anymore. "Tenchi? Don't you think you're being hard on them?" Tenchi looked at her with all his anger. He was so worked up he didn't even notice that she was in her adult form. "Hard on them. 'HARD ON THEM?' They almost killed Mihoshi and Sasami!" "But they didn't did they? Maybe they knew they were there and eased on the explosion." "Ah shut-up Washu! (No offence Washu fans. I am a big Washu fan myself. but this has to happen) you don't know any of it, do you? You are always in your lab! Your 'Protection.' You don't know what is going on around you because you are blind! You work so much and keep yourself from Ryoko and everyone else in this house!" Ryoko looked at Tenchi. No one talks to Washu like that. She didn't know why she was thinking that, but she was. She looked at Washu. "I'm blind. I'M BLIND! YOU'RE THE ON THAT'S BLIND! YOU CAN'T SEE HOW MUCH THESE GIRLS LOVE YOU! YOU ARE SO COUGHT UP IN YOURSELF, TO NOTICE! PEOPLE WILL START TO SAY THAT 'TANCHI MASAKI, THE PRINCE OF JURAI, IS GA-" 'SLAP!' Tenchi cut Washu off, by slapping her (poor Washu!). Washu looked at him. "No wonder everyone in this house hates you." He said to her, still caught up in his anger.

"Fine. if you people hate me so much. I'll leave." Washu looked at Ryoko and said through the link, 'I love you Ryoko. don't ever give up on what you believe in.' and with that, she stomped to her lab. Tenchi looked at the lab door. His anger had totally vanished when he saw the look on her face when he said that, slapped her, and when she looked at Ryoko. It was the Washu he's only seen once. and for some reason, his heart felt like it was a million pieces.

Ryoko looked at the floor in shock. From the link she could hear her mother's thoughts. 'I'm sorry Ryoko. I didn't know that's what had happened. I was only just living my title as a genius, that I never noticed how much you really needed me. I love you so much my dear child. I always thought that if I didn't do this you would think your mother's a failure and you might turn out the same. I don't want you like me Ryoko. I want you free, having fun, experiencing love, and having a life. I don't want you as a stupid, lifeless, know-it-all brat like me. That's why I have to leave you, my child. This is going to be for your good. Remember. whenever you need someone to talk to, need someone to help you out, call me through the link. and remember there is always someone here to love you. Don't ever give up Ryoko. I love you.' and that was all she heard. For some reason that sounded familiar to her. She looked at Tenchi. He was still staring at the lab door.

"How could you Tenchi? You were mad at us not her. all she was doing was trying to calm you down before you hurt one of us. And you took all the anger on us at her. Well, I hope you're happy." Tenchi looked at her. "W- what do you mean 'Happy'?" "Congratulations Tenchi Masaki. thanks to you, we have lost Washu, forever. She's gone for good." Aeka looked at her. She knows how it feels when you're mother leaves. Even though they fight a lot, Ryoko was her best friend. She's worried for her friend. Tenchi looked at the floor. After what Ryoko just said it felt like he was missing something. Something that was stolen from him. something he needed to survive. something he wanted back. but as the moving wind. and the moving soul that left with it, the thing where the hole is now. also followed.
