Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, Pioneer and AIC do. I have just used them in a story that I would love to see happen. I am not doing this for money, and definitely not looking for a lawsuit as I am barely making ends meet as it is. I hope you enjoy the story and as a side note, This story takes place using the OVA characters and occurs after Daughter of Darkness movie or MNE as it is often called.
Tenchi Muyo: Fear
Then a sound caused Ayeka to look to her right. Tenchi had reached the clearing and saw Ayeka about to blast Ryoko who hung there with her head down. He ran as fast as he could to help. Ayeka had not seen Tenchi jump before the blast and pull Ryoko to safety as he encountered the blast. But she could see him now covering Ryoko with his body as parts of his body was severely burned. His blood was running out multiple wounds on his back and legs.
Everyone else had seen him as he lunged toward Ryoko and was able to grab her just as the blast hit him. Ryoko was holding him trying to get him to wake up. She had thought she heard him say something but she did not understand it, but now he did not make a sound. Washu was there first as she examined him. Ryoko cried over him, "Tenchi! Tenchi, don't die on me. Tenchi!"
Ayeka was unable to move, unable to make a sound as she realized what had happened. The girls picked up Tenchi and took him to Washu's lab. Over the next several hours he laid there unconscious. Ryoko was there as was Kiyone. However Kiyone was acting, as Washu's assistant as she was used to doing first aid on others, seams as though all those years with Mihoshi was paying off. Ryoko just stood off to the side and cried. She could not believe that he had tried to save her, with her regenerative capabilities that blast would have been easily recovered from, but he could not do that.
Sasami had finally been able to get Ayeka to come inside, but all she did was kneel by a window looking down at the lake. Mihoshi had gone up and got Katsuhito to come down after she told him Tenchi was hurt. Even Tenchi's dad was there and worried. Ryoko wished that there was something she could do, but she had never needed to learn how to heal others. Kagato had only taught her how to hurt.
She watched in horror as Tenchi's condition worsened for a while and cringed when she heard the alarms go off saying that his vital signs were critical. Watching in horror she saw the one monitoring his heart flutter a few times then flat-line. Washu and Kiyone were able to bring him back this time though so his monitor went back to normal.
Finally after what seamed like hours of unbearable tension his monitors showed that he was stable again. Washu and Kiyone finally stepped back as Ryoko got to see the many tubes and wires connected to him. She collapsed crying hard. Kiyone pulled her over to the side where Washu had another bed ready for her. Ryoko laid down crying uncontrollably. Washu stayed with her as Kiyone went to the others to tell them that Tenchi was stable, but in serious condition.
"There, um, seams to be massive damage done to his back and legs. He may not ever walk again." She choked on the last part as everyone cried. Ayeka had heard this too and she knew he would never forgive her. "Because of me, I have destroyed his life and his future." Ayeka repeated to herself.
Hour's later Ryoko was calm enough to go and see Tenchi; Washu had left to go talk to the family as Ryoko placed her hand in Tenchi's. "Why did he try to save me, why has he tried so many times to save me? Now, how can you love me when you nearly died because of me?" She cried as she thought to herself.
She suddenly felt his grip tighten on her hand as his body lurched, "Ryoko!" he called and she remembered his trying to say something outside. Looking at him she could see the monitors going haywire as he said one more thing, "I need... You." With that said she heard the alarms go off again, she used her link to warn Washu who ran into the room. When she saw the alarm she ran over jumped up on the table straddling Tenchi and she pushed on his chest repeatedly.
Ryoko was about to say something when she saw that the pushing was forcing his heart to beat. After a few tense moments his heart beat returned. This time both were crying for joy as he was saved again. After that last scare he finally stabilized and was able to rest. Everyone was allowed to see him one at a time, but he remained unconscious, unable to reply to anything that was done or said. Ayeka still could not face him, she would not move from her spot.
As Ryoko sat in a corner watching this she felt so helpless, she could not save the one that saved her so many times before. Finally she got an idea, it may be remote but if she can transfer her healing ability to him for even a short time he would be better. After some time she came up with a plan. Leaving him for now she went into the living room where Katsuhito was as well. Approaching him, she asked, "where is Tenchi's sword?"
He thought and said, "he had it with him when he left me, so he should still have it. Why?"
She did not respond and headed outside past Ayeka to the spot where he fell. And there it lay the sword named Tenchi. She thought about what she was about to do, and then taking a large breath of air she reached down grabbed the sword and started running towards the house. The pain was horrific; the energy coursed over her and illuminated her body as she ran. Ayeka saw this and looked at the strange behavior wondering what was up.
Ryoko concentrated and held back her screams of pain, as the surges became stronger and stronger. When she neared the house Ayeka had moved from her spot to open the door for her. Ayeka wanted to ask what was she doing but thought better of it. Ryoko blew past her and headed for Washu's lab. The others saw how the sword was affecting her, but she held her concentration.
When she entered the lab she approached Tenchi, now weak and hurting herself. Beside his bed she dropped it beside him and collapsed on the floor. Breathing heavily she tried to regain her strength as Washu approached. "Mom, stay back... Keep the others out... for now." She found it hard to talk after such incredible pain, but slowly managed to say it all.
Washu did not want to stay back, but she had never seen or felt this type of thing from Ryoko. Even when under Kagato's influence she never had this seriousness'. She did as her daughter asked though and she left the room to tell the others to stay back. Several have seen her run through with the sword and wondered. Sasami was surprised to see Ayeka move to help also. For so long she thought her sister hated her.
Ryoko regained her strength and stood beside him. She took his hand and used it to pickup the sword hilt. She then moved on top of Tenchi. She cringed at his current state. She had put his sword in his right hand and then using his hand as a buffer she held his hand, then put her other hand in his left. Leaning over him she placed her forehead to his and began to concentrate hard.
It took some doing but the gems started to react and the two lifted off the bed as the gems began to glow brightly. As she concentrated on transferring her healing powers to him she sat upright on him and screamed. Washu felt her pain and entered the lab to see them floating in the air as Ryoko cried out. With a flash Ryoko and Tenchi fell back on the bed with her out cold on top of him. Washu picked her up and placed her back on a bed to rest.
When she turned her attention to Tenchi she saw something different. Approaching she saw some of the smaller cuts and wounds healing them selves rapidly. Running some quick test she grabbed his left wrist and turned it over. There was Ryoko's gem on him. She was unable to speak as to what this implied. After several moments of complete shock she called in the others. Everyone including Ayeka this time was there in her lab. Sasami even had Mayuka with her.
"A short while ago some of you saw Ryoko run into the house holding Tenchi's sword. Well it seams as though she had a radical plan that had severe ramifications that altered the genetic structure of Tenchi." After seeing their blank faces she said again. "She had a crazy plan that changed Tenchi." With a collective oh she continued. "She has somehow transferred her powers to him." She spoke as she showed the gem on his wrist now. "I am not sure how many changes he will go through, or how many of her powers he will have, but his wounds are healing them selves fast. He may even be completely healed in a mater of two hours."
With this last news everyone cheered. Ayeka went over to Ryoko first, and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Ryoko, I am sorry, I was, I." Everyone listened closely until Washu ushered everyone outside fast. Ayeka continued not knowing everyone was gone, "I thought you were a demon, incapable of emotions. I was, wrong. I hope you can forgive me." Ayeka had a smile on her face for once as she looked at Ryoko. "Take good care of him..." She added quietly before moving over to Tenchi. Whipping away a tear she looked at him and watched as his wounds healed. "Tenchi, forgive me. I acted rashly and with hatred in my heart." She found it hard to continue, but she continued speaking, "I have seen how you look at her, I have seen how you smile at her. I even saw you kiss her this morning. I was enraged, and I attacked without mercy. I hope that you both can forgive me, someday." Washu could tell that Ayeka was now acting as a true princess and even marveled at her.
When Ayeka stopped speaking she turned to find only Washu there. "Miss, um, Little Washu, thanks you for removing everyone." Washu was about to speak when she cut the scientist off. "I know you have monitors in here that record everything that is said or done." She paused to allow the little redhead to nod. "Good, when they are both awakened I would like you to replay that for them." Washu agreed as Ayeka showed herself out. She headed upstairs to her room and allowed herself to cry, over the loss of Yosho, Tenchi, and her ability to see herself as a princess after the way she acted out of anger.
Ryoko lay there completely out for an hour as she readjusted to being without her gem again. She hoped that it had helped. But without her gem she could no longer communicate with Ryo-Ohki. She would miss the little cabbit, but this had to be done. When she awoke Washu was between them. Looking over at Tenchi she saw that his body was healing itself and she smiled.
"That was a dumb thing you did, but extremely brave. You may have saved his life." Washu spoke as she typed away before looking at them both. The look on Ryoko's face though showed that it would be worth it. "Did you take into account that anything you experienced while wearing that gem he can experience too." Ryoko looked at her horrified.
"NO! He can't see the things I did! He'd never want to see me again! He, he..." Ryoko began to cry hoping that if he did see her past then hopefully he would still want to see her. But how could he want to be with her once he saw the horrible things that she had done? Washu tried to comfort her, but could think of nothing to say.

Authors Note: I know that Ryoko could have had Ayeka, Sasami or even Yosho (Katsuhito) carry the sword for her, but Ryoko has never been one to think through a plan entirely so this seamed to follow along in her normal attitudes.
