"Yosho..." Tenchi said to himself not long after the 'old man' disappeared into the trees, his mind was still trying to absorb the magnitude of what his grandfather had said. And from somewhere and nowhere the unspoken words came to him. 'The choice is yours'. "Fine but why do you have to keep taking my breakfast?" Tenchi stood there in silence, half waiting for a response, 'If you don't protect things they get taken from you, and if you don't care for them, you will lose them' "TENCHIIIIIII!!!!!!" a cry broke the air.
The voice had been that of Ryoko, full of pain, confusion... and loss. 'Oh no, "Ryoko!" Tenchi broke out in a flat run toward the house, something was definitely wrong. "Ryoko!"
It took an extra push to avoid the flaming branch that came down atop Tenchi's head, he could hear Ryoko far above, shouting in full battle rage. He hadn't heard her this intense since their encounter with Kagato. He sprung forward as a tree to his side was uprooted whole from the ground. He came out of the forest a moment later next to the lake. He was just in time to see the same tree flying far above the lake and being blasted to splinters by an incredibly powerful red energy bolt. He became aware once again of Ryoko's closeness. She was above the trees, her aura glowing intense with anger and pain. Once again her cry broke the air, "Tenchi!!!", this time full of defeat. She moved toward the house and phased.
Tenchi was back into his flat run. He reached the door to the kitchen in time to see her grabbing Ryo-ohki from behind Sasami and yell "We are leaving, I've wasted enough time on this backwater, nowhere planet. Were going back into space where we can have some fun!" On the final word she flung Ryo-ohki out the front door and the small cabbit made the transformation into spaceship form. "Sasami.. say goodbye... Sorry I cant stay for breakfast." With that Ryoko turned to leave. The beam from Ryo-ohki settled quietly on her. Tenchi's decision was made in less than a heartbeat, "Ryoko!" he lunged through the front door and into the beam, disappearing with Ryoko. Ryo-ohki was disappeared from the sky within a matter of seconds.
Sasami wanted to cry, the young girl was very confused by what had just happened. She walked out to the porch and sat, letting the first tears escape, Ryoko and Tenchi gone? By the time Nobiuki's car drove up a few minutes later, her sleeves were soaked through and was sniffling heavily. "Oneesama!!!" she cried as Ayeka stepped out of the car, running up and burying her face in her older sister's side. Ayeka was surprised at Sasami's actions but continued her statement to Nobiuki. "I am sure that lord Tenchi had a very good reason for missing his train. I will simply wait for him to call and inform me of what that is. It must be something Desperately important to keep him from coming home, something must have happened in Tokyo. Yes I'll watch the news....." She continued on, walking into the house dragging a sobbing Sasami along. Nobiuki got back in the car and drove away to find a bar.
It was dark when Ryoko woke up, last thing she remembered was someone calling her name ,being run into from behind and hitting her head on one of Ryo-ohki's incredibly dense inner pylons. She was able to open her eyes, seeing that she was on some sort of makeshift bed, and it smelled like "Tenchi!?" "It's okay Ryoko, I'm here. You got a pretty nasty bump on your head, sorry about that I -" Tenchi didn't get another word out before Ryoko's arms were flung around him, clinging desperately. "Tenchi, Tenchi, Tenchi..." she kept saying under her breath. Tenchi felt like she was enveloping his entire body, he felt a fantastic tingling warmth spread trough him, he opened his eyed and saw stars and swirls in a sea of pink and purple, He could feel every part of her body, as distinctly as his own. 'Ryoko' he thought, 'is this what it is like to be with you? So beautiful. So Peaceful. So perfect. So comple-' The pain of slamming against the wall, and feeling air rush back into his aching lungs brought Tenchi harshly back to reality. "BAKA!!" Ryoko's eyes from across the room had a look of destruction and revenge in them. Tenchi was barely able to form his light hawk sword before the energy bolts were raining down on him. He was surprised to find that none were coming 'dangerously' close to him, but he tried to deflect as many of them as he could to make a good show of it. Finally Ryoko collapsed in tears and exhaustion. Tenchi released the light hawk sword and went to her. He put his arms around her and pulled her to him. "Tenchi no baka." she said weakly sobbing as she allowed herself to be pulled into his chest. "Don't you know -" Her words were cut off as Tenchi lifted her chin and brought her into a kiss.
Yes a short addition, but definitely one full of passion, the story will continue, it just needs somewhere to go. Suggestions? So far there are many interesting opportunities. And Tenchi has a great number of choices to make.
