Whispering Love vol.2

"What?" Ryoko slowly stood up from the couch, staring in disbelief. Tenchi, ashamed kept his head down. "How could you? Were you trying to get back at me for sleeping with Hotsuma? Is that it?" She continued, her voice becoming bitter.

Tenchi looked up at her, tears ran down his face, eyes red. "I felt lost Ryoko, you do not realize how much you had hurt me." He began in a whisper, hurt resonated in his voice.

"So that is why you slept with her?" Ryoko raised her voice a bit, Tenchi place his left hand on her shoulder and placed his index finger on his lips, shushing her. "Ryoko please keep it down." He said in a low voice.

"Keep it down? Are you serious? You slept with her to get back at me! Don't you think that I suffered enough?" By that time the house occupants were out there rooms curious as to what this fight was about. Ryoko was beyond furious, she could not pin point if her anger came from being pregnant or the jealousy and betrayal she received from Tenchi. "You bastard!" Ryoko hit Tenchi's chest and he tried to console her, Ryoko was way too strong for him, she gathered her left hand into a fist, punching him in the jaw.

Tenchi fell to the couch, only to roll off and his the floor with a thud. Washu and Ayeka ran down to the former pirate. Washu held her daughter around her waist while Ayeka restrain her upper body. "You sick Bastard, how could you!" Ryoko shouted at him, he looked up at her in disbelief, blood trickled down his bottom lip. Sakuya came to his aid, raising his head. "You!" Ryoko proceeded to reach out to Sakuya, only to be restrained by Kiyone as well. Mihoshi wailed on the stairwell, "protectively" holding Sasami to her bosom. "Please stop it, Ryoko you are scaring me. Stop it!"

"You! I didn't like you from the beginning and never will! The two of you go to hell and be merry!" Ryoko eyes went wide, she suddenly gripped her stomach tight and doubled over. To Washu's horror, she watched as blood trickled down Ryoko legs spreading to the ground. Kiyone and Ayeka attempted to bring the pirate to her feet but the pain was overwhelming for her and remained curled up in a ball. "Ayeka, call Hotsuma! Sasami and Mihoshi, bring a bucket of hot water and a towel. Tenchi, you might want to do something with that!" Washu demanded, the whole house scrambled around doing their assign duties. Ryoko laid, tears streaming down her face, beads of sweat running down her face. "It's going to be okay, Ryoko. You will be fine!" Washu cooed her daughter.
