Ok, I changed the idea of this fic….i was gonna make it about how
each character viewed the events of Tenchi in Tokyo, but I haven't seen the
series in a while and I forget most of what happens to everyone except
tenchi, sakuya, and ryoko…….soooooo I changed the idea. For now, I'm
keeping the story from ryoko's point of view. This chapter is things that
occur after Techi in Tokyo……but I'm gonna add some flashbacks from other
characters revealing stuff…….so ya kno, I'm tryin here…..lol…o, and I never
saw the last like, 3 episodes of Tenchi in Tokyo, so I don't know exactly
what happened….so stuff might be different k? pretend u never saw the last
3 episodes, ok???? lol….kk, R&R…..^_^
Disclaimer: I dun own any of these characters, nor the concept of Tenchi in Tokyo…blah blah blah….course, I wouldn't mind owning Hotsuma…….;) lol
It's already been a month since Tenchi defeated Yugi and I killed Hotsuma. Things are pretty much back to normal. All of us are back in the Masaki house. We've pretty much decided that from now on, we have to stick together. Even Ayeka and I agreed on that issue.
Ayeka and me……that's one thing atleast that's changed. Her and I don't fight over Tenchi any more. She still hangs on him, don't get me wrong. But I've given up on him. And it's not only because I saw him kiss Sakuya. I mean, sure, seeing him kiss her like that ripped my soul in half, but that isn't the main reason. The main reason is Hotsuma.
Hotsuma haunts my dreams every night. Every night when I close my eyes, his face floats behind my eyelids. He invades my dreams, and turns them into nightmares. He always appears as a human though, never as that horrible creature he turned into the day I killed him.
In every dream, he always says the same things.
"Why Ryoko, why?"
"I loved you, Ryoko. Why did you kill me?"
"I never wanted to hurt you, nor did I ever want to try to kill you. But I had to obey my orders from Yugi."
"Ryoko, I need you back. Come back to me, Ryoko, come back to me."
"I will come for you, Ryoko. It isn't over yet. You will love me again, and regret the day you killed me"
Sometimes when I wake up, I am sure that I wasn't dreaming, and that he really was there with me, whispering those things in my ear. I know it's impossible, seeing as how I killed him, but the feeling is so strong sometimes. Somehow, a part of me thinks that I never really killed him, just damaged him. That he still is out there, and wants me. A part of me even thinks that at one time, he truly did love me. That the only reason he ever tried to kill me was because Yugi forced him to. But I brush that theory aside, and remind myself that I killed him. And remind myself that if I hadn't killed him, he would have killed me.

After one of my nightmares, the only thing I can do to calm down and relax is to go and watch the lake. Outside of the Masaki household, past the shrine, is a large area of trees surrounding a lake. I have claimed the tallest tree as my own. It has a large branch growing out of its side, and when you sit on it, you get the most perfect view of the lake. After one of my nightmares, watching the lake is all I have left to do.
Lakes are amazing things. They're so calm and peaceful. The water almost never stirs. I say almost because if you were to throw a rock in the lake, the silence and serenity of the lake would be disrupted. Ripples would form, spreading throughout the entire lake. It would take a while for the stillness to completely come back.
When you think about it, lakes are a lot like people. We're all so calm until someone throws in a rock and messes things up. For me, Hotsuma was that rock.
