Hide

By Creed

-------------------

To what do I owe this gift my friend?

My life, my love, my soul?

I've been dancing with the devil

way too long

And it's making me grow old

Making me grow old

Let's leave…oh let's get away

Get lost in time

Where there's no reason to hide

Let's leave…oh let's get away

Run in fields of time

Where there's no reason to hide

What are you going to do with

your gift dear child?

Give life, give love, give soul?

Divided is the one who dances

For the soul is so exposed

So exposed

Let's leave…oh let's get away

Get lost in time

Where there's no reason to hide

Let's leave…oh let's get away

Run in fields of time

Where there's no reason to hide

There is no reason to hide

No reason to hide ...

Tenchi sat in a waiting room with Washu, and the other girls, his mind screaming with hate. It was consuming him like a pelage slowly seething through his body.

"It'll take me a while but I can find information on him… Since I just have a first name… If it's his real name and I know what he looks like." Washu spoke starring at her feet, as she sat in a red leather chair her hands cupping her face.

"That's it!" Tenchi stood up storming over to the elevator.

"Tenchi no!" Ayeka screamed. She ran over pulling him away. "Tenchi they'll kill her if you go after them!" Tenchi pushed Ayeka away letting her fall to the floor. Sasimi let out a little cry holding back her tears.

"She's right Tenchi..." Kiyone spoke for the first time in what seemed like forever. "Just listen to him. If he said he'll call us, he'll call us."

Tenchi clenched his fist slamming it as hard as he could into the plaster wall putting a crack into the spot he hit.

"Ryoko don't die!!" Mihoshi whaled everyone starred mindlessly at the blond as a river of tears poured out of her eyes.

"Hmm…" Tenchi nodded looking at Ayeka briefly. She just closed her eyes and nodded. He walked down the hallway passing the first medical person in hours as he headed to the cafeteria to grab something for everyone to eat, and something for himself to drink.

Sasimi ran over to Ayeka hugging her tightly never wanting to let her go. "It'll be okay Sasimi trust me. We're getting Ryoko back; Tenchi would never stop looking for her until they day he died."

"Ayeka… Are you alright? About… About the Tenchi choosing Ryoko thing?" Ayeka tensed up and Sasimi sensed it.

"No… I'm alright with it now… I just have to move on…" Ayeka smiled at Sasimi now not having to look down at her. But merely across form her now that Sasimi was the same height as Ayeka she had grown so much over the years. 'I just have to move on.'

--------------------------------

"Tenchi!" Ryoko shouted as loud as she could as a man literally threw her into the nearest ambience there was slamming the door shut. 'Help me!' was the last thing she thought of as suddenly some type of gas was admitted through a vent next to her.

Ethan smiled brightly as the fumes engulfed the room forcing Ryoko into sleep. "That should knock her out all the way back to head quarters…" The other men laughed as they started the vehicle and drove off unnoticed. 'This is going to be fun… For me at least, I can't say much for Tenchi…'

-----------------------------------

"Tenchi! Kiyone shouted running into the cafeteria her blue hair trailing behind her. "Tenchi… When we go to get Ryoko back I'm going with you. You could use my help." Tenchi didn't even look at her. He closed his eyes tightly barely able to stand up anymore. Why did all of this have to happen to him?

"Kiyone…" Tenchi turned and looked at her. Her eyes were dark and weary looking. She must have been up all night long. Her hair was slightly frizzed from the rain and water last night. Her cloths were somewhat wrinkled. "Kiyone… Thank you but I-"

"Damn it Tenchi! I'm going whether you want me to or not!" Kiyone held back her anger and griped a hold to Tenchi's shoulder and turned him around.

"… Fine. You can come when with us."

Mean while the doctors and nurses sat at the lunch tables watching the drama unfold before them. Two men and a woman took out their money starting to bet on who was going to win…

"Thank you Tenchi… Come on I'll pay for the food and drinks. You've got to be starving you haven't eaten a thing since dinner last night." Kiyone smiled brushing a few stray whips of hair from her face.

'No thank you Kiyone…' Tenchi sighed in defeat sleep and weakness beginning to get to him as he took a sip of a very strong black coffee, and a bight of a tuna sandwich. "Hey Kiyone?"

"Hmm? What is it Tenchi?"

"You know I haven't been paying much attention... What time is it?"

"Ehh…" Kiyone set down the tray of various foods and looked at her watch for a few seconds. "12:00 in the afternoon right now." Kiyone smiled and picked up her tray as her and Tenchi walked in silence the rest of the way back to the girls to give them there much wanted food and drinks.

------------------------

"Yes Maikeru sir. I'll have the girl in your office by tomorrow morning."

"And what of that boy and his friends, and family?"

"Oh… Trust me. I'll take care of that… I'll have fun seeing that boy suffer knowing the pain of losing everything."

"Just as long as you get it done without drawing attention to us Ethan."

"Yes sir…"

"Very well then. I'll see you in the morning."

"Yes sir…" Ethan turned his cell phone off as him, his men, and Ryoko boarded a private jet heading back to the Deuxieme Bureau, in France. "Don't hurt her guys the boss wants to see her in the morning okay?"

The men all smiled looking at the girl, but then nodded quickly avoiding eye contact with Ethan.

"Sir!" One of the men came running down the small stair case that lead the plain's main door minutes later. "Sir the girl is waking up!"

"Hmm… She's not normal that's for sure… Leave her be. I'll talk to her in a few minutes… I have to make a phone call first." Ethan smirked. 'It'll be fun seeing that kid suffer when I kill his pretty girlfriend in front of his face… All we need is to do a few experiments and take a little sample of blood, then she's mine for the killing…'

-------------------

Hospital - 2:00 PM

-------------------

"Will Mr. Tenchi Masaki please report to the nearest nurses' desk. Tenchi Masaki!" A nurse's voice rang throughout the hospital.

"Do you think it's them?" Sasimi glanced over to Tenchi who tensed up.

"Hmm… There's one way to find out." Tenchi stood up joined by Washu and Ayeka.

"If it's him I have to find out what he says… Ryoko's my daughter."

"And she's my fr-" Everyone looked at Ayeka. "…She's my friend… Probably one of the best friends I'll ever have… Like they say, good friends always fight, but still manage to talk and get along…"

Tenchi smiled. 'Who would have guessed?'

-----------

"Ryoko…" Ethan smiled the phone to his face.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Hmm… You shouldn't be so outspoken to the one who holds your life in his hands. I could kill you right now if I wished… But you're to pretty for me to do that now… Plus I wanted to have your boyfriend to see you die…"

'Boyfriend?' Ryoko narrowed her eyes in question. 'What is that supposed to mean?'

"Oh… I forgot you were still knocked out… He admitted his love to you. He thought you were gone he couldn't bare it. He didn't even notice that the princess of Juri who also has feelings for him was right behind him."

"I-" Ryoko couldn't speak. He had said he loved her? Was this man lying to her? Was he just saying this to upset her? How did he know about Ayeka being the princess of Juri?!

"Well… I must talk to Tenchi now, so please be quite until I tell you to talk… I don't want to have to hurt you… Yet."

---------

"Miss?"

"Yes, may I help you?" It was the little red haired lady again.

"Umm… I'm Tenchi Masaki. There was a phone call for me?"

"Oh yes, yes, yes! Here a man by the name of Ethan?" Tenchi's blood began to boil.

"That's him…" Tenchi's mind began to scream with hate a strong hate. So strong, Tenchi almost crushed the phone in his hands when taking a hold of him.

"Mr. Masaki! Hello my dear boy… I have Ryoko right here I think she wants to say hello to you…"

----------

Ethan covered the phone. "Say hello Ryoko…" He put the phone to her face.

"Tenchi! Tenchi help me!"

"Ryoko! Oh God, are you alright? Has he hurt you?"

"Time is up Tenchi… You'll talk to Ryoko when you find me… We'll be waiting for you… Meet us at the Deuxieme Bureau… Better known as the second office… It in France. You've got 24 hours to get there… This is all the information I'm giving you. Wouldn't want Miss. Washu falling upon any information she doesn't need to know…" Ethan smiled as he saw a single tear stream down Ryoko's face. "Goodbye boy… Your Ryoko will be waiting… Don't want me to kill her if your late now do you?"

Tenchi hung up the phone. "Errraaaa! Basard!" Tenchi screamed pulling at his hair. "I'll kill you Ethan!"

The nurse stared worriedly at Tenchi. Washu just tapped her on the shoulder. "His fiancée is cheating on him…"

"Oh my dear! Oh the poor thing…" The nurse covered her moth with her hands in shock.

'Hmm… Thought that would work…' Washu nodded making some form tears form in her eyes. "Yeah… He's taking it pretty hard. She just ran away to France with him today…"

"Oh my!" The women glanced over at Tenchi. He dug his nails into the wall holding back the urge to through one of those hard plastic chairs out a window pretending it was Ethan's body. "Well, I hope he is better… You should get him home so he can rest you've already been here for two days…"

Washu smiled and looked back to Tenchi and the girls. All of them had dark little bags hanging under there eyes, she as well. "Yeah I'll call his father and tell him to pick us all up…"

"Are you his mother?"

"I-…" Washu wasn't expecting that she smiled. "In a way…"

"Oh! You're his step-mother?"

Washu slapped her hand into her face. 'You and Mihoshi should get together sometime…' Washu thought shaking her head.

"Oh my lord! You're the girl's mother! I can't believe he hasn't yelled at you!"

"Uhh… Let's just say he's known me for a long enough time that he'd know better then to yell at me…"

"They've been together since they were little kids?! How romantic! …It's such a pity it didn't work out between them… Give them my blessings for me will you?"

Washu rolled her eyes and nodded. 'She might even be worse then Mihoshi…'

"Washu… I'm calling my father… I'll tell him what's happened myself… Do you want him to come and pick us up?" Tenchi showed his eyes now wanting the fear and tears to show.

"-… Yes Tenchi." Washu sighed hating to see Tenchi in such pain.

"Well, I'm off to room 33. I've got to get prepped for a heart transplant! Bye Miss. Washu." Washu starred at the little round women as she ran down the hallway. 'I pray for the patient…'

----------------

The jet flue into the air. Holding Tenchi back from getting back the one thing he thought he'd never miss until it was too late. 'Tenchi…' Ryoko cried to herself. 'Do you really care? Will you ever show up to save me?' Ryoko struggled with the rope trying to break free.

"Heh… You can try… We already made it fit your standards… Or should I say powers… You aren't going to be able to break free from that…" Ethan bent down and brushed a stray piece of hair and brought his face inches from her. He smiled with evil in his eyes pure evil. He forced his lips against hers, but Ryoko pulled away.

"I told you not to do anything I didn't want you to do!" Ethan hit Ryoko across the face. She closed her eyes. She didn't scream only let a single tear fall from her eyes.

"Sorry if I was respecting my morals…" She opened her eyes and glared back at him with the same evil in her eyes. An evil she'd never let be shown since she had fallen for Tenchi.

"Tchhha… Morals won't help you…" Ethan smiled and pushed his lips to hers again and began to let his hands wander.

'God, Tenchi please!' Ryoko didn't fight… She didn't let the tears stop falling… She didn't scream… She couldn't… The pain in her chest hurt to much as Ethan raped her… She was helpless, she couldn't teleport… The chains around her ankles and wrists wouldn't budge… He'd kill her if she did fight… 'But would death be better then this?' She thought as the tears endlessly fell from her eyes. 'Would I rather be dead now? Would I have been better off drowning in the river?'

------------------

'I swear on my life I'll kill you Ethan… I'll kill you if you touch Ryoko!' Tenchi's mind was being taken over by rage, hate, and maybe even the evil that Ryoko had in her…

Tenchi's father pulled up in the large navy-blue van and ran out hugging Tenchi. "Thank God your alright."

"Dad… Let me go…" Tenchi closed his eyes and pushed away from his father's embrace and went as far in the back of the van as he could away from the other girls.

"I-" Washu placed a hand on his shoulder and he looked at her with worried eyes.

"Leave him be Nubiyoki… He's just lost the love of his life… He doesn't know if he'll be getting her back… You know how he feels…" Washu sighed and left him with his thoughts.

Nubiyoki frowned as he thought of Atchika. He knew all right… He knew all to well… 'I hope you find her my son… I hope you find her…'
