Tenchi Muyo: The Attack
Ryoko was taken aback as Tenchi had thanked her again, then when he ran off she was not sure who he was talking about when he said 'you'. Ayeka was gushing as she babbled on that Tenchi had wanted to see her later. Ryoko had heard enough of her and returned to the house leaving Ayeka there. When she finally noticed she was alone Ayeka quickly ran back to the house to freshen up for Tenchi's return.
Neither had realized he was meaning both of them, he just happened to be closer to Ayeka when he said it. Ryoko was not sure what to think, as he had waited for an hour to spend time with her! And then just when things were getting good Ayeka interrupted. Tenchi was to say the least unsure if he was happy to have Ayeka burst in on them at that moment. He recalled how beautiful Ryoko looked and how happy she seamed. But he just couldn't say what he felt, not to either of them. Choosing one would mean rejecting the other and he could not do that.
At practice he had to go through extra steps to calm his mind and to pay attention to what was happening at the present. Grandpa, could tell his mind was not on the moment so he made sure that anytime his mind seamed to wader it would be that time he chose to attack. Tenchi had made it through another session this time with only a few bruises, but he was not ready to go home yet. He instead headed to the field where he tended to Ryo-Ohki's carrots. He allowed himself to smile at that thought, all these carrots for one little furry creature.
After having so many meals with carrots Tenchi was starting to dislike them, but they seamed to make the little cabbit happy. Looking up he noticed the sun was getting low in the sky so he wandered home to find that there were no new holes for once and nothing was destroyed. Shaking off his surprise he entered and before he could proclaim he was home the girls attacked him. Ayeka, Mihoshi, Sasami, and even the toddler Ryo-Ohki had a hold of him. He looked around and noticed that Ryoko was not here. Sensing something was up, but not sure how to ask he gave them a quick hug and then smelt dinner. He looked up to see of all people Ryoko setting the table.
He smiled and Ryoko noticed it, but continued with her business before setting a place for Mayuka. When the girls let go they ushered him in to the kitchen and he noticed that Sasami had outdone her self again and they were all treated to a wondrous meal. Ryoko was still unsure what would have happened had Ayeka not shown up and why had he waited for her. She sat a little distance away from him and fed Mayuka as they all ate. When dinner was over they all played with the baby before she started to get tired. Ryoko saw her yawn and collected the child from the floor.
Everyone looked at her as Ryoko spoke; "well it seams as though you're a tired one today, lets get you to bed." Cradling the child in her arms Ryoko started towards the stairs when Tenchi stopped her and kissed his daughter goodnight.
"Thanks for taking such good care of her Ryoko." He said, but she could tell that he wanted to say something else.
To keep herself from breaking down in front of everyone she responded, "it's nothing, but you had better get some sleep too, I heard Katsuhito say he was going to step up your training tomorrow." She smiled at him the ascended the staircase.
Tenchi watched as she turned from him and floated up the stairs, and he marveled at how beautiful she was then it sunk in what she said. "WHAT! Step up my, oh no." He hung his head as Mihoshi, Kiyone, Sasami, Washu and even Ryo-Ohki laughed. Ayeka however had seen the look between them and she was not happy. Ryoko herself was not sure what was happening. For all the time she spent pawing over him he seamed to not catch on that she loved him but now that she had averted her attention to Mayuka he seamed to be taking more interest in her. Sitting in the room with the baby she quietly sang her to sleep. Unaware that after she had left Tenchi had also gone upstairs and was listening to her sing.
He stood outside his daughter's room listening to Ryoko sing feeling a peace come over him that he could not understand. He thought about going in to listen more, but barging in on her twice in one day seamed a bit excessive. So he whispered goodnight to his daughter and to Ryoko before going to his room.
When he went to bed he dreamed of peaceful things as his mind wondered what the future held. But then his dreams turned dark as multiple things started to happen. He dreamed of returning to Jurai with Ayeka but in his life there he was not happy. Sure she made a beautiful bride, but all he wanted was to return to his little house, his little carrot field. Countless times she had to correct him about how proper and royal people did not do such things. He also dreamed of how devastated Ryoko had been that she had demanded to be put back in the cave for the rest of her life. Tenchi had been unable to do it, but Ayeka was more then happy to seal the demon up for good this time, by destroying the entrance.
He awoke in a sweat and sat upright, crying. He cared for Ryoko a lot and he did not want to see her end up like this. But with her reputation and her temper he did not think she would be happy here for the rest of her life. Her life, which brought up another thing, she was over a thousand years old. If he were to proclaim his love how long would it last? As he grew old and she remained young would she still stay, or leave me?
Unable to sleep anymore he went to the bathroom to wash his face, then he ventured into his daughter's room. He looked in on her as she slept. "Dream well my darling." He stood there for a while then moved over to the chair and leaned back into it, then suddenly stood up holding his mouth so he would not scream. He looked back at the chair and realized now that Ryoko was asleep in it. He watched her for a while then left to get a bed mat and a sheet.
He laid the mat on the ground then placed her on it, followed by the sheet. He then sat in the chair and watched them both sleep. Feeling peace come over him he drifted off to sleep as Ryoko's song replayed in his minds ear. Tenchi remembered all those times that he awoke to see her watching over him or her sleeping in the chair beside him. He cornered her once about it and demanded to know why she did that and she began to cry as she explained that it relaxed her so that she could sleep. He remembered a horrible feeling as he had scolded her for something so simple. She had not tried to trick him or seduce him as he had thought. He then apologized and told her that she was welcome to watch anytime if it helped her that much.
That much, he could not believe something that simple helped that much but she took him up on it, but did not do it every night. She had given him some privacy, and her mood swings on the days that he allowed her to stay were greatly improved. He fell asleep again watching them both sleep. This time the dreams stayed peaceful.
Awaking the next morning he found himself on the mat and Ryoko in the chair. "Hello sleepyhead," she said quietly as Mayuka was still asleep. "You know of course it's my job to watch you sleep."
Sitting up he noticed he was still in his clothes from the night before and was relieved that she had not done anything to him. "I know, I guess. But you looked uncomfortable so I made a bed for you, but I guess I was too tired to go back to my room." He stood and stretched, then leaning over the crib he kissed his daughter good morning.
"May I have one too?" Ryoko was looking down as she asked to hide her blushing. She screamed to herself, "why did I ask that?!" Trying to hide her nervousness or fear she look down at the floor waiting for his lecture again.
"Ryoko, you know...." He thought about it, then placed a hand on her cheek. She felt his warmth and looked up as she was prepared for another lecture when he kissed her forehead and said good morning to her too.
She began to cry for happiness as he spoke, "You know Ayeka should not know of this. I don't like it when you fight. Please don't exaggerate this..." he was unsure why he kissed her, he had wanted to for a long time, and it just seamed right, but he did not want to hurt Ayeka.
Ryoko nodded and after giving him a reassuring look she tried to hide her emotions. Smiling brightly she reassured him that she would not fight he noticed again how she seamed to be glowing. Before he could say another word she phased out and left the room. He collected Mayuka in his arms and headed downstairs for breakfast.
When he reached the bottom of the stairs the smell of a delicious breakfast hit him. With his stomach grumbling he joined Sasami in the kitchen to get breakfast for Mayuka. Once he had her breakfast he sat down to feed her. The other girls showed up one by one and 'ooed' and 'awed' over her as she ate. When he finished feeding her he passed her to one of the girls so he could eat.
At that moment Katsuhito entered the room, "Tenchi! Hurry up and finish you're late!" Groaning he realized that Ryoko had been right about the stepped up training. He finished eating then rushing upstairs he changed clothes, grabbed his sword, and rushed off to train.
After he was gone All the girls save Ryoko and Washu were eating breakfast when Sasami noticed two were missing. "Where's Ryoko? Um, Where's Washu too?"
Kiyone spoke up, "Oh you know Washu, working on her latest invention again." Everyone knew that Washu would miss a few meals as she worked. But the thought of another invention worried them still.
"What about Ryoko?" Sasami was genially concerned over her friend's absence.
"That devil woman is still sleeping I bet" Ayeka was still cold to her even though that devil woman had saved her live a number of times. She was almost to the point of accepting Ryoko as a friend but every time she saw that thing around Tenchi it caused her blood to boil.
"Ayeka, that is not nice!" said Sasami in a scolding tone. The others looked at her and wondered how could she be that cruel.
Mayuka chose this particular time to start crying loudly. Mihoshi who had been holding her tried to comfort her before crying herself. Kiyone tried to help but it was beyond her. Sasami finally picked her up and took her upstairs to change her diaper. With Sasami gone Ayeka huffed and went outside, still mad that everyone was siding with that demon and not her. The remaining two collected the dishes and began to clean up the kitchen. It was some time later that Washu and Ryoko showed up for breakfast.
Kiyone and Mihoshi informed them that Tenchi and Katsuhito were training and were not to be disturbed. After breakfast Ryoko and Washu left to talk to Sasami. From what the bubble-headed blonde Mihoshi had said the little girl corrected her sister in front of others. They walked in and saw the little girl playing on the floor with Mayuka.
"Sasami, I wanted to say thanks for standing up for me, but you don't need to..." Ryoko was not sure why she added the last part, but she was happy that someone else did not think her a devil.
Smiling broadly, "it' ok. Besides she shouldn't say those things in front of Mayuka." All of them smiled about that comment. Washu and Ryoko sat on the floor with Sasami as they took turns playing with Mayuka. Later that day Ryoko took out some of the baby's dirty clothes and tried to wash them, but not being really used to it she was doing badly.
She then heard someone laughing behind her and she knew who it was. "What do you want Ayeka?"
"Oh my this is funny, a demon washing clothes." Ayeka kept giggling as Ryoko tried to continue, but those constant comments were wearing on her.
Feeling her inside boiling over she stood and said, "I have had it with you, what is your problem?" She desperately wanted to fire a bolt at the little princess, but she would not lift a finger against her.
"You are my problem you demon. You are trying to weasel your way between Tenchi and me and I won't stand around as you take him from me. It time you disgusting thing to leave this place." Ayeka looked at her sternly as she continued to speak.
Ryoko listened but instead of hearing Ayeka she could hear Kagato telling her again how worthless and defective she was. Undeserving of any emotions. She was nothing. Inside she was falling apart as Ayeka continued to call her things demanding her to leave but all Ryoko heard was the Voice of Kagato as she remembered the torture he put her through. Ryoko screamed, phased into her battle suit and created an energy saber in her hand facing Ayeka.
Ayeka looked at her and said, "I was hoping you would try to fight, now feel the wrath of Jurai you devil woman!"
Ryoko then remembered Tenchi kissing her this morning and how she had promised not to fight. She let the sword dissipate as she lowered her head. "I will not..."
She was cut off as Ayeka's Mini-Logs appeared around her holding her in place. Ayeka powered up a blast as Ryoko was stopped in mid sentence. Ayeka's anger burned hot as she had seen Tenchi kiss her, she was passing the room when she saw it. She would not have him defiled by this creature.
The first blast hit Ryoko hard and sent her flying backwards. Everyone heard the blast, even Tenchi and his grandfather. Just as Tenchi was about to leave his grandfather said, "do not go, you have to stay."
Tenchi stopped for a moment then looking over his shoulder he said, "no I have to go." As he ran off he did not see the smile on his grandfathers face. As he ran he heard several more explosions but something seamed wrong about it. He increased his speed to the point that he thought he was gonna break.
Ayeka had landed several direct hits on her target, but Ryoko still refused to fight back. "Now demon since you will not go on your own I will get rid of you for good!" All of the girls watched in horrified silence as Ayeka pounded on Ryoko without Ryoko fighting back. Ayeka thought it was because she was hurt too bad, but the others could see that she would not fight back for some reason.
Ayeka spent a few moments to power up an incredible blast as Ryoko hung there, as she thought unable to fight back. She released the blast at that devil. The energy hit and exploded causing her to close her eyes. When she looked back Ryoko was not there. "Good she is gone for good."
Tenchi Muyo: The Attack
Ryoko was taken aback as Tenchi had thanked her again, then when he ran off she was not sure who he was talking about when he said 'you'.
