Please say you need me (Part 2)

Kagato stood in front of the spaceship window, looking at the galaxy he would rule. Ryoko walked up behind him with the silklike gown on. She had on elbow length gloves. Her hair was now pulled back in a high ponytail and a laser gun hung casually over her shoulder.

"Kagato...love...please look at me." She said.

He turned to look down at her. She seemed so innocent from the real Ryoko but still deadly. He kissed her and she returned it. She slid her arms around his neck.

"Kagato, we will rule together." She breathed onto his lips.

"We will." He said bending her back in his arms and kissing her. While also thinking of a certain red haired woman.

*Out of dream sequence (if you didn't know it was a dream)*

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Ryoko screamed.

"Ryoko what happened?" Washu asked calmly.

"It was him...it was...Kagato." Ryoko whispered hoarsly.

"What did he do?" Washu asked.

"I d...don't know." Ryoko said.

Washu watched as Ryoko looked around the room in fear. She knew. Kagato was trying to get Ryoko through her dreams. Washu wouldn't have it. She tucked Ryoko in just as Ryoko fell asleep. Her fingers flew as she typed on her control panel. The work was never ending.

Two weeks later...

"Ryoko! Over here!" Tenchi yelled.

Everyone figured that now since Ryoko seemed okay, things would become normal. Although no one knew about the dream she'd had. They were out at the lake playing water tag or something like Marco Polo. Ryoko was it.

"No over here!" Mihoshi yelled.

"Right here Ryoko!" Washu said.

Aeka sat on the grass, envy overtaking her. She hated this Ryoko. Tenchi had become ever so close to this Ryoko. he was always with her and helping her. I don't understand what he sees in her? She is a tramp!

"I'm coming to get you Sasami!" Ryoko shouted heading towards her prey.

"No!" Sasami giggled.

Ryoko had almost reached Sasami when something grabbed her. She was pulled underwater.

"Ryoko! Ryoko! Where are you?!" Kiyone screamed.

"She's gonna drown! Somebody help her!" Sasami shouted.

"Ryoko! Wait!" Tenchi said swimming under the water.

Ryoko was now floating underneath the water. Tenchi swam over to her and brought her up. He listened to se if she was breathing. She wasn't. He began to panick.

"Oh my god! She's not breathing!" He said.

"WHAT?!" Aeka gasped.

"Wait a minute." Washu said. "Bring her to my lab Tenchi. Right away."

Tenchi ran all the way back to the house with everyone else hot on his heels. Except for Aeka that is. She was walking slowly up the path to the house. She ws filled with rage and anger. How could Tenchi love this...this tramp? Wait, tramp was even suitable for her, she was...a monster!

"Miss Aeka? You seem troubled. Perhaps I can help?" A voice asked.

Aeka looked up and let out a gasp. "YOU?!"

"Come with me." The person said.

He grabbed Aeka and they disappeared.

Somwhere in space...

"So, you say you can get rid of Ryoko?" Aeka said. "What do you need from me?"

"I just need you to distract her princess. Therefore allowing me capture her...forever." He said.

"Are you going to backstab me?" She asked. "Or do we have an official deal?"

"We have an official deal, unless...you want to think about it." He said.

"Maybe...no, no, no. Lord Tenchi would never forgive me." Aeka said.

"Just think Princess Aeka. You would have Tenchi ALL to yourself once Ryoko was gone." He said. "Think about. I'll be back...soon."

With those last words Aeka found herself back on the path to the Masaki household. Maybe I might, just maybe, she thought. She continued walking up the path, her eyes taking on a reddish aura. I will destroy her. I will.

At the Masaki household...

"Is she alright Washu?" Mihoshi asked.

"She'll be fine. What I need now for everyone to leave." Washi said. "Except...Tenchi...you stay here."

Everyone nodded and left. Tenchi sat down on a chair. He looked at Washu. "What do I do Washu?"

"Tenchi...do you...have you ever...I mean, what do all of us mean to you?" She asked.

"Well, you all mean a lot to me." Tenchi said eyeing Ryoko form the corner of his eye. "You are like a family I never had."

"Thank you Tenchi. You can go." She said with a bright smile.

Tenchi scratched his head awkwardly and left. (Well that was weird.)

After Tenchi had left Washu turned to Ryoko who was resting peacefully in an incubator. Washu was doing tests on her brainwaves and dream waves. She knew that someone was messing with Ryoko's mind and she planned on doing something about it. The test results were coming up fast and none of them seemed to be correct to any of her assumptions.

The whole process was beginning to frustrate Washu until she saw something she couldn't believe. KAGATO! Washu placed a hand over her heart. After all the hard times they'd had with him, Kagato was trying to take Ryoko back yet again. Only this time not as a toy but as his bride. Washu slammed her fist on the control panel. She would NOT allow this.

Meanwhile...In space...

Kagato sat at his chair in his spaceship. How long had it been since he last saw her? He missed her so and thought the only way to get her was to take Ryoko away. He needed her to be with him and she had refused. But then there had been that look in her eyes. The look of eternal love. Love for him.

The thought of her beautiful red hair, green eyes, and skin was making his head ache. He put his hand to his head and smiled weakly. (Why can't I get you out of my mind my beautiful red haired goddess?)

In Washu's lab...

The thought of Kagato was beginning to make her dizzy and light headed. She had to admit for once in her life...she actually missed him. The thought of his silky forest green hair, his soft lips, and silky skin underneath her fingers was tantalizing her senses and driving her crazy. (Why do you torment me my beautiful moonlight lover?) With that last thought Washu's legs gave away and she fainted. Her dreams began to carry her away to a past she had long tried to forget.

Moments after she'd collapsed Ryoko awoke. She rubbed her head and looked around. She saw Washu on the floor and began to panick. She couldn't help Washu because she was stuck in the incubator. She pounded and pounded on it until it the glass shattered. Ryoko jumped out and picked up Washu. She shook her repeatedly ans when she received no answer, Ryoko called for help.

"Miss Sasami!" She cried out. "Help!"

Sasami rushed in and gasped. "Hurry! Tenchi, Aeka, Kiyone, Mihoshi, Yosho! Come quick! It's about Washu!"

"Sorry Sasami! Aeka isn't here right now. Tell us the problem." Tenchi said.

Later that night...

"Will she be okay Yosho?" Ryoko asked concerned.

"She will. She's just a little dazed." He said.

Ryoko thanked them and took Washu back to her lab. When in there, she lay Washu down on her bed and held her hand.

"Mother, are you alright?" She asked.

Washu didn't respond. Ryoko began to feel weary. "Please mother, wake up."

"No...please...no more...I have to leave." Washu mumbled.

"Huh? Washu?" Ryoko asked.

"Kagato...please...it can't be this...way...anymore." Washu said.

Ryoko stared at her. Kagato?! What was he doing in Washu's mind? Suddenly Washu began to thrash about and from her eyes sprang crystalline tears. Ryoko tried to hold her down but she kept thrashing. Out of nowhere a shaodwy figure appeared. Ryoko didn't notice for she was too busy trying to keep Washu from thrashing.

The sight of tears falling from her eyes and her discomfort was driving him mad. He would give anything to just hold her, but she would never give in to him unless he took something of hers or Ryoko. But then would she love him? Would that not be mind control? He pushed those thoughts away and snuck up on Ryoko. He slowly but carefully slid a hand over her mouth and one around her waist. Ryoko struggled to no avail.

"It's not you I really want Ryoko. I want one that you hold dear." He said as they disappeared.

"Don't leave...Kagato." Washu whispered

Aeka peeked in and looked at Washu. "I will be taking care of you Miss Washu."

Aeka walked over to Washu, picked her up, and they disappeared through a warp portal. She stepped out into the spaceship. Carefully, but with some anger she set Washu down on a bed. She waved a hand over Washu's head and smiled wickedly.

"May your nightmares begin, Miss Washu." Aeka said evilly as she disappeared.

Somewhere else on the ship...

"Ryoko, I do not want you...I want someone else who's name I cannot mention so don't worry about your safety. I have no need for you anymore." Kagato said.

Ryoko's eyes burned with hatred. "I know who you want Kagato."

"Oh, and who would that be?" He asked.

"You want Washu." She said.

Kagato flinched at her name. Her name drove him mad and he couldn't bear to say no less hear it. He abrubtly turned away from Ryoko, hiding the tear that trailed down his cheek. He knew what his plans were and he wasn't about to let Ryoko destroy them.

"Silence Ryoko." He said in a cold voice. "Or I shall silence you myself."

Ryoko, not having rememebered her powers yet, clamped her mouth shut. Normally she would have retorted and even have fought back but with amnesia, she was a helpless doll. She let a silence overwhelm her and she sat lifelessy.

Washu's dream...

"Kagato..." Washu whispered. "Where are you?"

"Over here!" He said with a laugh.

"If I tag you you're it!" She said pushing him.

"Not fair!" He said dusting himself off.

Washu smiled and laughed. That was a while ago, when they had been friends. Not long afterwards they'd gotten into an argument. It had hurt Washu more than HE would know. Now she was lonely sitting in a park, brooding over her loss. Hiding her feelings as usual. Suddenly someone spoke.

"Washu?"

She stared at him with wide eyes. She soon realized what was happening. She walked up to him hesitantly and placed a hand on his cheek.

"Kagato...I..." She began.

"No more running Washu." He whispered slightly leaning over.

"No more running." She repeated, standing up.

*End dream sequence*

"Oh Kagato..." Washu whispered while turning over.

Somewhere in a dark cold room someone lay in torment. The tossing and turning of the person was disturbing to the person's sleep. He called out a name softly before the sleep claimed his body.

"Washu..."

(Well peeps, what about that? Weird huh? Well I think it is easy to see whats happening here. By the way read the authors note if ya haven't and one more thing, I give TOTAL credit to Tyger for borrowing Washu/Kagato. I totally agree that anything is possible. Oh yeah and one more thing, don't worry about Kagato/Ryoko. You won't be disappointed.) ~Veisha~
