Love Potion No.9
Chapter 2: Mission Accomplished

Ryoko reappeared in front of the house. She wanted to think about her game plan before she entered. 'When should I use the potion? At lunch or at dinner? I can't wait to see if this works? Jade said it would. So I guess I'll pick my first choice. I know I couldn't wait until dinner anyway.' She phased into the house and went straight to the kitchen.
"I'm back, Sasami. Here are the things you wanted." Ryoko said as she entered the room.
"It's been over two hours, Ryoko! Where have you been?" The girl screamed.
"I'm really sorry, Sasami. I got a little tired so I decided to take a break."
"You are strong enough to hold rocks as big as cars. You mean to tell me that carrying several bags of groceries made you tired. I find that hard to believe."
Ryoko tried to think of something. "Well I've been feeling a little strange lately. I'm starting to find it hard for me to use any of my powers. And of course one of my powers is super strong. So you see it is very believable that I can get tired from something let that now. I think I should talk to Washu about it. She could probably fix the problem. I don't have a clue what's wrong with me." Ryoko put her best sad face.
Sasami frowned. "Oh I'm sorry, Ryoko. I thought you were lying. You should go see Washu right now before anything else happens."
Ryoko smiled. 'Ryoko one, Sasami zero.' She thought in her head.
"Ryoko, are you okay?" Sasami asked.
Ryoko looked down at the girl. "I'm fine."
"Ok then. Well I have to hurry up and make lunch now. It's almost time."
"Since I caused you this trouble by coming back late, I want to help you. If that's fine with you?" Ryoko said.
"That would be great, Ryoko. Come on. Let's get to work." Sasami said.
The two began to make lunch. Ryoko chopped vegetables on the counter while Sasami took them and dump them into the pot on the stove. While the princess had her back turned, Ryoko hid the small container she had in the place where she kept her sake. 'No one ever goes in here but me so this would be the best place for it.' She thought.
Sasami turned around to see Ryoko kneeling on the floor. "What cha doing?"
"Oh I was just checking to see if I still had some sake." Ryoko got up and brushed herself off.
" I just wanted to say thank you for helping me, Ryoko. It would've took me a little longer to make this stuff if you weren't here." Sasami said.
"Hey it was my fault you had to start so late. So this is the least I could do."
Sasami smiled. She was very happy that Ryoko was helping her. But she didn't know the real reason behind Ryoko's action. This was a just one part of Ryoko's plan.
"Well lunch is done now so I have to go get everyone. Can you set the table for me, Ryoko?"
"Sure, Sasami."
"Thanks. I'll be right back." Sasami ran out of the kitchen.
Ryoko jumped in the air. "This is just too perfect." She walked over to the stove with a big idiot grin on her face.
After placing the pot in the center of the table, Ryoko began to fix the drinks and place them on the table. She stopped when she was in front of the glass that would be Tenchi's.
"Well it's time for the big moment." Ryoko ran over to her sake cabinet. She took the potion out and walked back over to the drink. 'I'm glad this stuff is the same color as the fruit punch or else I would have had a lot of trouble on my hands.' Ryoko thought the whole way.
"Here goes nothing." Ryoko took the top off of the container and poured in Tenchi's cup. Then she grabbed a spoon and began to mix the potion in with the fruit punch. After a couple of stirs, she was done. "It's ready now. Now all I have to do is wait for Tenchi to drink this" She took the drink and place in on the tables with the others. Ryoko floated over to her seat and sat down. "Now it's waiting time."
Ten minutes later...
Sasami walked in with everyone. Everyone except Sasami was shocked to see Ryoko.
"What are you doing here so early? Trying to eat up all the food before we get any huh? I would expect something like that from an uncivilized monster like you. Ayeka said as she entered.
Sasami looked up at her sister with a look that was filled with anger. "Why do you always have to be so mean to Ryoko? She wasn't trying to eat up all the food, Ayeka! She was helping me fix lunch. The only reason she's here before you is because I asked her to set the table for me." She screamed.
"I'm sorry I just..."
"Apologize to her, Ayeka." Sasami interrupted her sister.
Ayeka sighed. She turned to look at Ryoko. "I'm sorry."
Ryoko smiled. "What was that princess? I could have sworn you just said you were sorry."
"I apologize."
"Come on you can do better than that."
Ayeka sighed again. "I was wrong for speaking to you in such a bad and improper manner. I am sorry. Now is that better?"
"I guess it will have to do. Now let's eat." Ryoko said.
Lunch...
'Ryoko has been staring at Tenchi the whole time. She must be up to something. But what is it? I guess I will have to *talk* to her later.' Washu thought.
Tenchi was becoming nervous. He also noticed that Ryoko has been staring at him the whole time. 'Why is she staring at me like that? Do I have something on my face? Did I say anything wrong to her? I don't think so. I haven't spoken to her at all today. What's up? I just have to know.'
"Is there something wrong, Ryoko? You've been staring at me the whole time. I'm starting to feel a little nervous." Tenchi said.
"Maybe she's trying to have a staring contest with you, Tenchi. Those are fun." Mihoshi said. Everyone just ignored her comment.
"Oh nothing's wrong, Tenchi. Nothing at all. I was just thinking."
Ayeka was getting upset. "It's quite obvious what you were doing, Ryoko. You were fantasizing about Lord Tenchi."
"Is that so wrong?"
Ayeka looked at her sister before she answered. "It's wrong when you think about him the way I know you were."
Ryoko decided to play around with Ayeka. She enjoyed making the princess unset. "I love Tenchi so much. I can't help it if I think about being *alone* with him. And besides what I think about is my business not yours. So butt out!"
"Why you little..."
"What?" Ryoko asked as she charged up an energy ball in her hand. "Come on. I dare ya to say it."
"You piece of..."
Ryoko interrupted the angry princess again. "Now you know it's not nice for a princess to say such a naughty word especially when Sasami around. I thought you would have enough sense to know that but I guess I was wrong."
"I've had it with you demon!" Ayeka screamed.
"So what are you going to do about it?" Ryoko asked.
Ayeka didn't respond to the question. Ryoko was laughing but stopped when she noticed little logs appearing all around her. "So you wanna fight huh? That's fine with me. Let go!" She screamed.
They were about to go full force when the sound of Tenchi's voice stopped them. "Stop right now both of you! Can't you just sit down and pretend to like each other for at least ten minutes. I'm really getting tired of all your silly fighting."
Ryoko and Ayeka both lowered their heads. "Sorry." They said.
"Now that's better. Can will finish lunch now?" Tenchi reached for his drink.
"We most certainly can." Ryoko smiled. 'Mission Accomplished.' She thought as she watched Tenchi drink from his cup.
After Lunch...
"So how was lunch, Tenchi?" Ryoko asked.
He was feeling nervous again. "It was fine."
"Are you feeling okay?"
"Uhhhhh yeah. Why do you ask?"
Ryoko laughed. "Oh I was just wondering. I'll see you *later*, Tenchi." She phased out of the room.
"Okay. That was just a little strange." He said to himself.
Tenchi walked over to the door. "Well I'm going back outside again. Got to do some training with grandpa. I'll see you girls later. Bye."
"Bye, Tenchi." All the girls said.
'I'll see you in one hour, Tenchi.' Ryoko told him mentally.
One hour later...
"What's wrong with you today, Tenchi? Your techniques are terrible." Yosho said.
"Please forgive me, Sensei. I am not sure what's wrong with me. All I know is that my head hurts and I feel a little strange. May I end my lessons short today? I promise to train extra hard tomorrow so that I can make up for today."
"Okay then, Tenchi. You can end your lessons now. But I will hold you to what you said. Be prepared to stay late tomorrow."
Tenchi bowed. "Thank you, Sensei."
Tenchi turned away from the shrine and began to walk down the steps that led back to the house.
'What's wrong with me? Why does my head hurt? Why do I suddenly feel a strong urge to go see Ryoko?' Tenchi shook his head. 'Maybe I just a little tired. All I have to do is go back and get some sleep. I'm pretty sure it's nothing.'
He stopped and began to grab his head. The pain had intensified. 'Why does it hurt so much? The pain is unbearable.' Tenchi fell down a few steps.
When he got up, it was like nothing happened at all. He just kept walking. The pain he was feeling had disappeared. He only had three words on his mind. 'I love Ryoko.'
DaGoku: Well how was this? Let me know if I should keep on trucking. Leave a review, tip, or something! This is DaGoku signing off.
