That Night without Tenchi-Ch.4
(Wow I'm already on ch. 4! I hope your liking the story so far!)
"Ryoko what's wrong?" Tenchi was in a panic...he didn't want Ryoko to be hurt anymore than she already was.
"Oh, more than one thing, Tenchi. First off, Jurains hate me! And second, WHERE"S RYO-OHKI!?!?!"
"Ryoko," Kiyone began, hoping not to upset Ryoko even more. "Ryo-Ohki, is in pieces..."
"But don't you remember??" Both Kiyone and Tenchi looked at her completely stumped. "How the hell could you forget?" Ryoko took in a deep breath. She still wasn't that strong yet.
"What Ryoko, what are you talking about?" Kiyone was completely in the dark, but Tenchi was beginning to catch on.
"When one cabbit dies, they reproduce." Ryoko's voice was a lot calmer now. "Ryo-Ohki was born from my first spaceship, who died when me and Ayeka crashed...do you remember that, Tenchi?"
Tenchi nodded. "Right, but how do we get her back?"
"I think I can teleport."
"Ryoko, your still too weak."
"No, I have to. Ryo-Ohki was my best friend, and I must protect her child."
"Be careful then, my Ryoko." Tenchi grabbed her into her arms and kissed her gently on the lips. "We'll be waiting in Lady Ayeka's palace." Ryoko gave a sarcastic look of disgust.
"Okay."
"Come on Tenchi, let's get going," an eager Kiyone insisted. "Good luck, Ryoko!"
"I'll be needing it!" With that Ryoko fazed into the air.
"Tenchi, do you think she'll be alright?"
"Sure, shell be fine!" Tenchi had worry in his voice, but Kiyone paid little attention. I have a bad feeling...no, I'm sure she'll be okay
Ryoko reappeared on the bleak planet, floating just above the mangled spaceship that was once Ryo-Ohki. "My little Ohki..."
Pat, pat, pat...Tiny footsteps were nearing Ryoko, and she quickly turned around, doing a somersault in mid-air. "Ken-Ohki?"
"Meow." His face looked sad. He looked into Ryoko's eyes, which then dropped and fell upon his once love. His eyes met Ryoko's once more. "Meow." He pushed something forward for Ryoko to see. It was a shimmering black ball, perfectly round in everyway.
"Ryo-Ohki's child!" Ryoko spoke in a loud whisper. She was now reading the tan cabbit's thoughts. "So this is your child, too, Ken-Ohki! You should be proud, you had a very loving wife..." Ken-Ohki pushed the ball closer to Ryoko, inviting her to take it.
"Meow!"
"So, you want me to keep it, do you?" The cabbit nodded. "Even though it is your own child, not mine?" The cabbit nodded again and looked pleased. He knew no one could take better care of his child than Ryoko. "I'll call her Little Ohki, alright?" Ryoko's eyes were glossy with tears, as were Ken-Ohki's.
"So, Ken-Ohki, this is why you disobeyed me?" Nagi's voice echoed in Ryoko's head. "You didn't fire at Ryo-Ohki voluntarily because she was pregnant with your child?"
Ken-Ohki hissed and showed his teeth. "This is why I forced to you fire! ARRG!" Nagi raced to grab the black sphere, but Ryoko fazed away just in time and clutched the egg close to her heart.
"Nagi, you will not take my Little Ohki from me or Ken-Ohki." Ryoko hovered ten feet above Nagi as she spoke. "Ken-Ohki, come with me if you want." Ken-Ohki looked eager to comply, but then turned to his owner, who shot an evil glare into his eyes. Ken-Ohki backed down.
"Meow?"
"It's alright Ken-Ohki, I'm not mad...we are friends, right?" Ryoko tilted her head.
"Meow." The cabbit wanted to nod in agreement, but fear of his master held him back.
"And this child of ours proves it! Good-bye Ken-Ohki! Nagi, you will never catch me!" Ryoko disappeared into the air.
"Damn it! Damn her! Damn you, Ken-Ohki!" Nagi's screams echoed on the top of the desolate planet's surface.
I hope Ken-Ohki will be all right...with that Nagi...
"What?! What do you mean there's been a change in plans!?"
"Your highness, are you alright?" The wooden guardian Azaka questioned carefully.
"Well, you see, Miss Ayeka..."
"Lord Tenchi," Ayeka began, "Oh, what is it?!?" The purple-haired princess spun around. Three loud knocks came from the door, and Kiyone cautiously crept in...
"Um, Ayeka, I can here you guys all the way down the hall, and your mom's about to have a heart attack...over fear for Tenchi..." Just then Ryoko fazed into Tenchi's arms, her power nearly gone.
"Whaaaat? What is this?" Ayeka was so startled she fell over.
"Oh, Ayeka, are you all right?" Kiyone ran over to give her a hand.
"I did a good job, huh, Tenchi? I fazed right into your arms!" Ryoko was weak, and it was written all over her face.
"Yes you did."
"Tenchi, this is Little Ohki." She cradled the black egg gently in her arms. It will be hatching soon..." Ryoko fell asleep once more.
"Tenchi!" Ayeka was completely confused. "What is the meaning of this? I thought that demon left!"
"SHHH!! She needs sleep, lets get her in a bed, and when she wakes, we can all talk, together."
"Good idea, Kiyone." Tenchi praised.
Hours later, Tenchi crept into Ryoko's room, followed by Kiyone, and Ayeka. He sat down at the edge of her bed and gently shook her. "Ryoko, Ryoko, wake up now..." He ran his hand across her cheek, then he gently and lovingly kissed it. Kiyone glanced a look at Ayeka's face, it was flushed with anger.
"Hmmm...Tenchi?" Ryoko blinked her golden yellow eyes and yawned. "Look Tenchi!" Ryoko turned down some of the covers. Pieces of black eggshell were in a pile. "It's hatched!"
"Um, Ryoko, where is it?"
"Tenchi, its right here!" A tiny brown cabbit, about half the size Ryo-Ohki was, hopped out from below the blankets.
"Miya!" Its voice matched its size: tiny.
"Oh my, aren't you cute?" Kiyone leaned over and pet the light brown cabbit on the head. "And look at that! It has a tan spot just there on its lower back!"
"That's from Ken-Ohki's side of the family!" Ryoko had a large smile on her face, while everyone just quizzically looked at her.
"Ken-Ohki? As in Nagi's cabbit? Are you two friends?"
"No way, Kiyone! I didn't even know until I went and got Little Ohki!"
"Well anyway, down to business!" Ayeka abruptly interrupted. "Are we just going to stand here all day gawking at a stupid cabbit?" Little Ohki hissed at these words and the others just laughed.
"I don't think she likes you very much, Ayeka!" Ryoko was laughing harder now.
"She?" Tenchi asked.
"Yeah, I checked." Ryoko winked, and Tenchi kissed her.
