Chapter 3: Why Me?
All I really want to say is they were married in April. All I should have to say is the strait facts; married, happy, blind. Really, all that's needed to say is that they had it coming. Did they think that a Juraian prince could marry an infamous space pirate without being noticed? Did they think Jurai wouldn't get involved, did they think the troubles they had before would just melt away?
But that wouldn't be fair. That is what I saw, through a jealousy frosted window. I know that they saw it coming.
The days then went like this: In the morning, Tenchi carried Ryoko down the stairs. I sat across the breakfast table from them. Throughout the day, stealing looks at each other, sneaking moments away from their family. At night, falling asleep in front of the TV. He carried her back up the stairs. It wasn't fair. How dare they insist that I stay for the wedding? How dare she look at me with that smug grin, telling me I was her bridesmaid, and there wasn't any way around it? How dare he take me by the hand, look at me with those big, bottomless brown eyes? How dare they show me how happy they were, and pretend they needed me?
I tried to leave. Ryoko, against Tenchi's will, "carefully" blasted me out of the sky twice. I needed to leave. They hurt me with their love.
She was gone within a month. Tenchi was never the same. And left only with a single, miracle gift.
It gets better, ok? I promise, this is just the beginning. Please stay with me!
