Where Life Takes Me To
By beautiful_dreamer_69

Ryoko woke up in cold sweat, it was all a dream. One stupid, scary dream. She sat up in bed, and as her shaking feet hit the ground, she felt the dream over occurring in her mind. "What does it mean?" she asked herself.

The morning sunshine filled Ryoko's room, making it look like it was painted shiny gold. Ryoko awoke with a start. It was already 3 PM, and she still felt like laying her troubled head onto her pillow. She just moved into her own room, and it was quite uncomfortable. She wasn't use to not sleeping on her rafters or the couch. She sighed, as she wiped got up to go to the washroom. She needed to wash her face, for certainly there were going to be dried tearstains on them. 'Did I cry out in my sleep?' Ryoko mentally asked herself. She reached the washroom, which was occupied. Ryoko slumped against the wall, waiting silently. She would have usually banged on the door by now, but hesitated. Her energy felt drained. The door creaked open, which waked up Ryoko from her daydream.
"Good afternoon, Demon!"
Ryoko didn't want to bump into anyone this morning, especially Ayeka. Ryoko just glared back at her, and to Ayeka's view, her glare was rather weak. Ryoko walked past her, silently. She slammed the door behind her, with force that shook the house.
"Must be her day of the month..."
Inside the washroom, Ryoko looked at her reflection. Her golden eyes, shinning with unshed tears...tears she didn't have an idea about. She gently turned on the tap, and waited for the water to turn icy cold. Her fingers were still shaking, as she splashed the ice water on her face. The coolness washed over her face, reducing the burning sting her tears left. After washing her face, Ryoko walked out of the washroom, with a feeling she was missing something.
Ryoko entered the Masaki kitchen. Tenchi and the others were enjoying a day off. Everyone was outside, playing games and having a picnic. Ryoko slowly crept out the back door to join them. She didn't dangle over Tenchi, but rather instead gave him a polite "Hello" as for everyone else. The dream played over in her head the whole time she looked at Sasami. 'So much like the little girl, I murdered...' Ryoko thought, sitting by herself in the shade of the Cherry Blossom Tree. Ryoko felt a familiar presents one that was warm and gentle...one of motherly love...
"What do you want, Washu?"
"You had a dream? A bad one?" Washu asked, pale like Ryoko. Ryoko finally concluded, Washu, Her mother could see her dreams...as if they were her own. Ryoko's dislike toward her so called mother, turn to sympathy. Ryoko liked to think she was the only one who was "Blessed" with Kagato as part of her life. Of course she was wrong. Very wrong.
"Mommy?"
Washu barely heard the whisper, it was so gentle...so full of innocence. "What's the matter Little Ryoko?" Washu asked Ryoko, glancing at her with love. "I'm sorry, you had to witness my dream...I don't want you to see what I did..." Ryoko answered her mother, now greatly interested in a Cherry Blossom petal. Washu gathered her frail daughter in her arms, she rested her head on Ryoko's chest. She was still in her younger form. Ryoko wept in her mother's arms, silently shaking with sobs.
"Shhh...my baby..." Washu whispered tearfully in her daughters embrace. Washu noticed something missing with her link. She quickly grabbed Ryoko's wrist, her gem, was gone!
"Ryoko! Your gem!"
