---------------------------
"We're going to be what?!" Tenchi yelled as Sasami gave him a bag of ice for a swollen cut on his far head.
"If we don't get our butts out of here we'll be shot down, Ryo-oki has to move it faster then ever before. I told a little fib… I think by now though they know I was lying."
"Uhhhh… Let's move it then!" Ryoko smiled beginning to fall asleep in Tenchi's arms as she lay on a red leather couch with him.
"I…" Washu hesitated.
"You heard the woman, get this thing moving." Nathan smiled as Ayeka handed him a soda.
"Ryoko…" Tenchi barely whispered as he ran his hand through her cyan hair.
"Hmm…" She smiled cuddling closer to him.
"You guys know best don't you…" Washu mumbled sarcastically. "Ryo-oki, move it out of here fast!" Washu yelled; and with a cry from Ryo-oki she lifted off into the air.
"See you space alien…" A man waved holding one of those foam rubber hands into the air. 'Hey… Cowboy Bebop will be coming on soon!' The man's mind shouted and he ran off towards his home.
------
"They sure as heck attract the weird ones…" Nathan mumbled looking out a car window. "Oww!" He yelled as a man held him back and another placed his leg back in the right position. "What the hell were you thinking?!" He groaned. "I could have bit my own tong off!"
'To bad you didn't…' The doctor thought to himself.
"Well, we figured we'd get it over quickly for you sir. Please don't be mad with us, it was all in good mind."
"Heh… Good mind, yeah…" Nathan rolled his eyes as the doctor began to wrap his leg.
"I hope you know sir, you won't be able to make it if that kid does that glow and explode trick again."
"Yes, don't you think I know that already?! If hell decides to take me let it be, then I'll die and live with all the sins I've committed, let fate decide who lives and who dies!" Ethan glared his mind screaming with hate.
'It's like a battle between good and evil… But, good always prevails. Right?' Water's looked at Nathan; his eyes were cold and bleak. It was like he had been taken over by the devil. Consumed by hate, and would never return, unless he or that boy died. 'What is the kid was right… What if what we're doing is wrong?'
----------
Tenchi picked Ryoko up and walked down the hallway holding her tightly in his arms. She breathed lightly her eyes fluttering as if dreaming. Tenchi opened his door with a kick of his left foot and walked in almost losing his grip and letting the angel fall from heaven's arms. 'That was a close one…'
Ryoko's eyes closed tightly shut and opened. She looked around franticly and then calmed down when she noticed Tenchi was carrying her. "Hmm…" She mumbled smiling when he looked down at her.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up… I was just going to let you sleep in my room incase Ayeka, or someone was yelling.
"It's okay, I won't have a problem falling asleep again Tenchi… Just stay here until I do?" She looked almost frightened. Like if he said no she'd cry her eyes out at the littlest noise after he left her. Like a little kid waking up from a nightmare; or after seeing their first scary movie. You're always scared something will come lurking out of the shadows and attack you.
'What did they do to you Ryoko?' Tenchi's mind was screaming. 'What did they do?' Tenchi lay next to Ryoko holding her close as they both aloud fatigue take over.
----------
Ryoko walked into a dark woods beady little glowing eyes lurking over her from every direction. She started running not knowing which way to go. Tripping over rocks and braches she gave up and huddled up against a tree crying and rocking back and forth wishing Tenchi was there. When suddenly there was a whisper of her name from behind her she stood up and walked backwards a little.
"Ryoko…" The figure walked out. It was Tenchi. She smiled running into his arms. "Ryoko… I'm not Tenchi…"
"Huh?" She looked up in alarm as Tenchi smile turned into a glare and Ethan was holding her throwing her onto the ground and tearing her shirt open.
"TENCHI!" Ryoko screamed—
-----------
"TENCHI!" Ryoko's body shot up. Tenchi scrambled off of the bed and reached for whatever was screaming at him.
"Ryoko? Ryoko, what's wrong you're shaking all over!" Tenchi pulled her away as tears streamed down her pale face. "Was it Ethan Ryoko?" Ryoko's eyes sank and she nodded willingly. "He didn't just throw you around did he Ryoko? Don't lie to me, you have nothing to hide, I won't be ashamed of you ever… No matter what you hear me?"
"Uhh huh…" She berried her face into his bear chest holding him close to her.
"He raped you didn't he Ryoko?" Tenchi's heart sank as Ryoko's body stopped shaking.
"Yes…" She uttered. The word hit Tenchi like a ton of bricks. He wasn't there for her. She must have been so scared.
"Oh, God Ryoko." Tenchi tilted her head up to him letting her eyes meat his. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry I couldn't help you. But I promise nothing will happen to you anymore I will never let anyone hurt you again."
"Tenchi, stop. I'm… I was just a little shaken up. Washu is having me go to her lab to have a few tests done to make sure I'm alright. You don't have to worry about it Tenchi… I just have to move on and forget it alright?"
Tenchi let his hand run through Ryoko's hair and pushed his lips against hers. He wanted to give her everything and anything she wanted. He would give her the planet of Juri if she wanted it anything… "I love you Ryoko."
Ryoko smiled. "I know." Tenchi laid her down on the bed and kissed her down her neck and along her collar bone gingerly.
"Tenchi… We can't." She couldn't believe she was saying this. He looked up at her in question. "Washu said not too…"
Tenchi blushed. "Oh…" She laughed Pulling him back down into another kiss.
"Don't worry." She smirked.
"Hmm… I won't."
