~Why Tenchi~
The final episode!
AN: hahahahahahahaha!!!!! I'm finally finishing this story!!! Yay, I hope you like it. ^_^
There, behind her, was Hotsuma!!! Or, if not strictly him, at least a reasonable effigy of him, produced by his soul. He was incased in a crystal-like structure, and he looked like he had been beaten. Suddenly, the crystal that he was in dissolved, depositing him on the floor in a heap. "Hotsuma!" she cried. "Oh, don't worry about him, he'll be fine. I have been waiting for you. Ryoko." Ryoko whirled to face the demon. "What have you done to him!!??" "Oh, could it be that the great R
yoko really cares? Then why don't you tell him, but, you'd better hurry, because I'm going to have to kill you two in a moment, you know."
A fury welled up in Ryoko's heart, anger such as nothing she had ever known. Whereas before, when she was angry, it was an anger that flared up and fizzled out after a few days or hours. But now, when she heard that smooth demonic voice talking about killing Hotsuma, this cold anger that almost scared her made her feel that she would do anything to protect her former partner. Why, she did not know, nor did she care. "Oh, well, enough chit-chat," that inhuman voice sneered. "I have wasted too much time already." He (it?) took quick shot at Ryoko, which she easily dodged. They went on like that for a while shooting and blocking, evenly matched, until, suddenly... the demon took a shot at Hotsuma.
He was so weak that, even if he had seen it coming, he could have put up no defense. The world seemed to Ryoko to be turning slowly, so slowly. She knew not what to do, she only knew that she had to save him, whatever the cost. She teleported to a spot were she could intercept the energy blast, but she had so little time that she could not mount a proper defense, and the blast hit her. She could feel it hit her, begin killing her. Then a rosy red light appeared around her, and he energy blast was no long hitting her. The force field spread out from where Ryoko was holding Hotsuma; spread out and soon encompassed the whole of his soul. It destroyed the demon; he didn't have a chance. The stone walls came crumbling down, revealing beautifully architectured golden walls beneath. Her mission completed, Ryoko stumbled into the antechamber where Ryo-oh-ki was waiting, and the image of Hotsuma disappeared as his soul began to repair any lasting damage.

"Ryoko, Little Ryoko?" "Nhhg?" Ryoko asked, not fully awake yet. "Is Hotsuma better yet." "Yes, and he's wants to see you up at the Shrine. You'd better hurry, before his courage fails him." Said Washu (Well, who else calls Ryoko Little Ryoko?). "What do you mean?" Asked Ryoko, confused. "You'll find out soon enough, I hope. That Hotsuma would make a great son." Washu replied with a wink as her daughter teleported to the Shrine.
"Hotsuma?" "Good morning, Ryoko." Ryoko's breath half caught in her throat. If he had looked attractive before, that was nothing to how he looked now. Somehow, the bandages heightened his good looks, and the intoxicating spring air did nothing to check the pulsations of her heart. "I-w-we've been through a lot together, Ryoko, and during the duration of our time together, I have developed certain...feelings for you. What I mean to say, Ryoko, is-I love you. I have loved you from our first job together; from the first time I laid eyes on you. I know that you don't love me, but... could you try? I would do anything for you, my princess. Marry me, Princess. Make me eternally happy. Kudasai."
For a moment, Ryoko didn't know what to say. Then, she knew exactly what to say. Perhaps it was the memory of her fury at his being hurt, maybe the look of thinly veiled hope in his stunning blue eyes, maybe even the cherry blossoms which floated around them like the purest of snowflakes. But that didn't matter. All that mattered know was the firm, sweet 'yes' that she spoke, and the earth-shattering kiss bestowed on her by the man she truly loved.
The End
AN: What do you think? I need feedback!! Also, I would like to recognize Angel Sandrock and Wari Nekochan! For their wonderful contributions to the Ryoko/Hotsuma cause. I hope someone else is inspired to write about these to characters. I guarantee a good review!! Oh, well. In case you didn't know, kudasai can mean either 'please' or 'I want you'. As in, sexually. Both translations work in this story. I should be writing again before the end of the month. Ja ne ^_&
