----------------------------------------
Ryoko went into flashback mode. Things from the past came back in a split second. She just starred at Tenchi for a moment... Not moving, not blinking... Nothing.
-------------
Tenchi ran out of his house in his school uniform, his leather schoolbag in hand. He was only about seventeen at the moment. And he only had about ten minuets left to run the two miles to the end of his driveway to get to the bus.
"Err! I'm not going to make it!" Tenchi shouted at himself. But there was a sudden Earth shattering explosion near the lake... Tenchi froze in his tracks looking over in the direction it had come from.
A big ball of smoke seemed to engulf the blue morning sky, cutting all light off choking the Earth. "What the?" Tenchi changed his mind and decided to run as fast as he could to see what happened, and pray he would still make in the time between.
------------
Ryoko swam her last stroke from in the water of what seemed to be a lake. She managed to drag herself onto a rock near a dirt path. Her hair was matted down, and her face was covered with ash, from the explosion of her ship, as it hit the water head on, distorting it instantly. She blacked out, to tired to move any longer.
Tenchi on the other hand just managed to see her through the thick cloud of smoke and dust. Coughing he ran over to her and scooped a little bit of water and poured it into her mouth. 'Please be okay...' Tenchi said, to himself.
Ryoko barely opened her gold eyes, to see a guy holding her head up, smiling at the sight of her showing that she would be okay, that she was still alive...
"I guess I'm going to be missing school today." He managed to say before he helped her up-
----------
That was the first time she had ever seen Tenchi... And probably the only guy who had ever even bothered to be kind to her. Ryoko phased back to her... Well, almost normal self and stood up joining Tenchi as they headed off on the hunt for a soda for Washu.
'What's Washu up to? She wouldn't have done that, she always gets her own soda... And we've got three spares here in the house...' Ryoko quickly looked at her mother, and then to the person next to her... Katsuhito. 'Hmm... How'd I guess? There scheming again...'
"Ryoko? Are you coming with me," Tenchi glanced over his shoulder and back to Ryoko for a mere second if that. "Or not?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah, sure." Ryoko smiled brightly, and just decided to go along with whatever they were planning. It couldn't be that bad now could it?
"Be careful though, the rain last week has left the river flooded, and the waters are very strong and will pull you under if you fall." Katsuhito said, worry somewhat in his voice as he spoke.
---------
Ryoko and Tenchi head off to the wine cellar, about thirty yards away from the house, in pure pitch blackness... Or at least that's what it seemed to be like.
"Ahahahahahahaha!" Tenchi and Ryoko both yelled at the same time. They didn't expect to be so close to the water. They didn't even see it coming it was so flooded it was only about ten feet or so away from the house itself!
"Tenchi!" Ryoko screamed she couldn't see where she was going. The water wouldn't let her teleport, it was to strong. She was being pulled under, barely able to use her powers to keep her from even reaching the surface for a few seconds to breath.
"Ryoko! Over here!" Tenchi shouted. He had managed to grab a hold of, what he could make out as a broken tree limb.
"Te-" Ryoko was pulled under again. She forced with all her strength against the raging current. "Tenchi help me!" Ryoko couldn't fight any longer... She just couldn't. She passed out from the stress, and freezing temperature. Her body was pulled back under...
"Ryoko!" Tenchi shouted. He did the last thing he could think of, and dove back in. He wouldn't be able to stand the water for long, he'd either, drowned, freeze, or be killed by something in the water that hit him, or he slammed into at the force of the water at that moment and time.
-----------
"I think we should check on them Miss. Washu. What do you think?" Katsuhito said, as he finished up his meal.
"Hmm..." Washu agreed after taking the last sip of her soda she had in her hand...
They walked outside, Ayeka and the others close behind wanting to also know exactly what they were up to. But all thoughts were forgotten when they heard Tenchi screaming Ryoko's name, and hearing him struggle against the fast moving waters of the river.
"Lord Tenchi!" Ayeka all but screeched, fleeing to the sound she last heard his voice, and praying they'd be able to save them... Both.
"Oh, no... The river! You warned them more about the water Katsuhito!" Washu ran as fast as she could. What if Ryoko... What if she didn't make it? What if Lord Tenchi didn't make it? She had already lost her husband and real daughter in a car accident, two years after Kyasarin had been born. 'Please, live! Both of you please be alright!'
--------------
Tenchi couldn't explain it. As he dove back under the water. He managed to dodge a big tree... Or at least he thought was a tree, but not the few cuts that dug into his left side.
"Ryoko!" Tenchi went back under... And, and then. He gripped onto her hand. He found her! 'Hold on Ryoko, for me, please!'
"Tenchi! Tenchi, where are you?!" Ayeka shouted, cupping her hand around her mouth as she looked franticly at the fast moving water. It had already been five minuets, if they didn't get them out soon they'd...
"Ay-... Ayeka!" Tenchi managed to say ducking back under the water, and using all his strength to hold onto Ryoko.
"Miss. Washu! Help him; he'll drowned if we don't!" Washu couldn't even see him. How could she save him?
"Kiyone! Go in my lab and grab a halogen light by my desk fast!" The idea she had wasn't something brand new, or a chance to use one of her new inventions. No it was time to save her daughter, and Tenchi. "Nubiyoki, get the rope out of the garden shed!"
Kiyone and Tenchi's father both complied as quickly as they could. Running with all their might they grabbed what was needed and came back to the savage waters.
------------
Tenchi could last much longer... The cold of the water was beginning to get to him and with Ryoko also in his arms, not even knowing that she was still alive he couldn't keep swimming for the both of them. "Anyone help please!" Tenchi spat, barley able to keep his head above to breath anymore.
Washu had the light on and moved to where she heard him yelling. And there they both were. Nubiyoki quickly tied the rope into a lope and tried to throw it towards them...
"Tenchi grab onto the rope if you can!" Washu all about screamed so he could hear him with the loud noise of the water, that and if she was correct he was about to go into critical hypothermia, and the affects of hearing loss temporarily.
"Alright!" Tenchi just barely made out the words. He moved Ryoko a bit so one hand was free, but he could still hold onto the one he loved the most.
They threw the rope, and missed three times, but finally, the forth time they were able to get it to him. Tenchi just barley got a grip onto it, his body felt like a thousand needles were stabbing him all over, his lips were a deep dark blue, and his skin was whiter then snow.
Mihoshi, Sasimi, Ayeka, Washu and all the others pulled with all their might to get him and Ryoko to sure. Now there was still a problem... Would they both live?
