THAT HURT TOO DEEP – Ch.8
{Washu's thoughts go here}
[Tsunami's thoughts go here]
Tenchi and Ryoko walked into Washu's lab, now fully dressed.
"Um, Washu…"
"I know, Tenchi, I know."
"How do you know, Washu?" Tenchi asked.
"Tenchi, I am connected with Ryoko, I know all her thoughts and feeling, I know every
thing she went through." Washu cringed as her eyes watered up.
"Then why didn't you say anything before?"
"Because Ryoko needed to come out on her own time, Tenchi."
"Come on, Ryoko, lay down." Washu motioned Ryoko over to a white padded bed, and
Ryoko complied. Washu began to type on her floating keyboard and a large screen
appeared. "Now, let's check out that baby." Washu smiled a little. A spotlight hit
Ryoko's lower stomach and the growing fetus appeared on the floating screen.
Washu paused in silence, {What is it, Tsunami?} Washu had connected telepathically to
Tsunami.
[A half goddess like Ryoko can't have the child of just anyone, only the man that she
herself picks in her heart. She and Kagato's child will both die within a year of having it]
{And how did you know about this?}
[I was able to pick up Ryo-Ohki's brainwaves. Don't forget she is connected to Ryoko as
well.]
Washu looked up at her screen. "You can't keep this child."
"Good, take it away!" Ryoko yelled.
"Wait…this...this is strange…" Washu looked down at her floating computer screen, then
eyed both Ryoko and Tenchi suspiciously. "What did you two do before this incident
occurred?"
Both Tenchi and Ryoko looked confused.
"This baby holds Tenchi's DNA, this is Tenchi's baby, not Kagato's."
"But Washu, I never…"
"No, I understand it now." Ryoko began, "Kagato put your DNA inside me, I don't
know how, but he did. He never thought we'd figure it out."
"Figure what out?"
"That it was your baby, Tenchi." Ryoko smiled. "He expected me to either kill myself
and the baby, or give the child back to him! That way, he could take the power that
would be passed on from Tenchi! Having this power gives him the key to controlling the
universe!"
"That's it!" Washu said.
"So, I believe you'll be keeping the baby then, Ryoko?" Tenchi turned a new shade of
red and smiled.
"That's right."
"Why don't you two go and be alone for a while now?" Washu laughed, and the two left
the lab.
The sun was setting, and Tenchi and Ryoko were sitting on the branches of Funaho.
"Ryoko…"
'Yes, Tenchi?"
"Were connected now, by a force neither one of us can stop." Tenchi placed his hand on
Ryoko's stomach.
"This is your baby now, Tenchi, your it's father…just as I've always wished." Ryoko
smiled, and Tenchi felt a force squeeze his heart, he knew he was in more love than ever.
"You are my angel, Ryoko." Tenchi gently took Ryoko's hand, and looked deeply into
her amber eyes.
"And you are my savior, Tenchi." Ryoko kissed Tenchi, knowing he was too scared to
do so. "And I love you, I always have." Tenchi kissed her back, and they remained
locked in a deep and passionate kiss.
