The Cabin:
"Of..of course I want to know!" Tenchi looks at her with his deep brown eyes in exasperation.
Sakuya turns away seeing that she has put herself in a bind. Should she really tell him the whole truth. The feelings she keeps having without warning? All of this makes her head hurt and she shakes while grasping her head, "Aaah! ..uuuuhhhh!!!"
"SAKUUUYAA!!" Tenchi turns around with his hand grasping for her as she stumbles outside the doorway.

Yugi's Lair:
"WHAT is THAT girl DOING??" Yugi grips her cup of tea as if she was going to shatter it into a million pieces in a second's time. She watches on the screen as Sakuya grasps her head and stumbles farther into the forest. "THIS is NOT supposed to be happening!! She MUST do her duty. She MUST make Tenchi hers before that robot appears. The robot only has one weakness and that weakness is love....if it sees love, it cannot shoot. It must see love on both sides of the coin.. both her and Tenchi MUST MUST MUST come together!!!"
"More tea?"
Yugi ignores her and snarls at the screen in defiance.

Washu's Lab:
"Washu, where's the robot heading?" Ryoko sips some saki since she is too involved to gulp it like a (wo) man.
"It...it's heading to the countryside it seems! On the bus....mmm hmmm.....I think.."
"Yes? Heading to the town shopping center, maybe? That little Sakuya certainly needs better ..." Washu interrupts, "No, no, the countryside...Okiyama!!" Ryoko mutters her last words with her eyes dropping to the floor, "fashion sense...."
"WHAAAAAAT?!?!?"
"That's right, she is heading right for the Masaki residence."
---
The Cabin:
"S...Sakuya..." Tenchi clenches his teeth not knowing what to do as he walks over to her.
"Tenchi, you've got to get away from me!! It's just too dangerous...too much...I'M not like you! Someone's after me....I ...I can feel it."
Tenchi stands one inch from touching her arm and lurches back, "AIIEE!'
---
The Masaki Living Room:
"Hmmm Ayeka! Could you go check and see if Tenchi is still getting the carrots for dinner!" the little voice echoes from the kitchen where Ayeka is pacing in the entryway next to the living quarters sighing. A small tear falls from her face. "I..I can feel something isn't right," she mutters with eyes shut.
Perking up to Sasami's query, she jumps, "Um...yes, yes Sasami. He is taking quite a while. Speaking of disappearances, where is Ryoko anyway? And Washu? Still in her lab? She has been cooking something up for quite awhile...."
Sasami pops her head out, one foot still on the cold tile, soup spoon in hand, "Yess...I'll get Ryo-ohki to go investigate that as soon as dinner is ready...I reallllly need those carrots before the soup boils over..."
Sasami seems urgent enough, so Ayeka nods in the affirmative, slipping on her wooden stilted sandals, adjusting her kimono and brushes through the front doorway in search of Tenchi.

The Bus:
Mecha Sakuya slightly moves up to the front of the bus as the driver grunts, "LAST STOP for Okiyama!!" She blinks twice and bumps into a few stragglers in the aisle on her way. "Hey! Watch it little girl!" "What? No sorry??" a few disgruntled passengers yell out at her as she steps off and onto the dirt road.
One passenger laughs and throws a rumpled piece of paper out the open window at her sunglassed head. She blinks again. "STUPID?!?" the man laughs and laughs with his hair blowing in the wind - a silly lumberjack going to his job a mile away. M.S. knits her brows together and mutters, "Mecha. Blaster. IS A GO!!" *ZZAAAAAAAP* *BOOOOOM* *THWAP*
Smoke blows off the top of his balding head as he looks in shock with soot all over his face...he blinks and shrinks his head back in the window.
M.S. grins and walks more briskly than she has done previously for her first non-inanimate attack. To the woods she goes...she smells the DNA and the chip in her head blinks in assurance.

The Woods by The Fields:
"Tennnchiii!" Ayeka walks further and cautiously through the brush and twigs. Some cherry blossoms float above her head. She stoops down at the sight of a purple flower ...softly now, "Yosho..." a tear streaks down her face at the memory of when she first came down to earth to capture Ryoko...when she first recalled finding this same identical flower hidden in the weeds...the exact kind Yosho used to make the flower crown placed on her head - maybe one day marking marriage, but it wasn't to be... She glances as a tear flies from her eye at the shrine, "Yosho, I know you are no longer young, but I can't help feeling....I can't help that I was to become your bride... you understand, you understand ...you want me and tenchi.."
she turns away, and plucks the purple flower; putting it in behind her ear - blending together with her violet strands, "now I must find Tenchi, for he is my future...."
---
The Cabin:
Sakuya's eyes look as blank as night. Almost as if you can see yourself in them as clearly as twilight. Tenchi flinches and inches his way back to the cabin.
Sakuya slumps over and wipes a few tears from her eyes..."I must go," she moans.
Tenchi watches as she stumbles away and his eyes glisten with the sense that he is just watching her walk away. Why won't my feet move? He looks helplessly at her as she turns into an ink dot on the path....farther and farther away she roams...
---
10 miles from Sakuya:
*snniiif* "I smell that familiar sweetness....the sweet smell of victory." M.S. pauses for a moment on the path, "Hmm and DNA!" she snaps her jittery metallic fingers reaching for her blaster in the folds of the jacket fabric.
"Of..of course I want to know!" Tenchi looks at her with his deep brown eyes in exasperation.
Sakuya turns away seeing that she has put herself in a bind. Should she really tell him the whole truth. The feelings she keeps having without warning? All of this makes her head hurt and she shakes while grasping her head, "Aaah! ..uuuuhhhh!!!"
