THE SCARS OF GODDESSES – Ch. 2: A new goddess

A/N: I bet you all can't wait to find out what happens to Sasami…well here it is! Thanks
to all who review my story! *^-^* The next chapters coming soon!


Tears raced down the little girl's face. What was happening to her? Tenchi kept
right behind her, but every time he got close, her body raced ahead of him, as if trying to
avoid him. As they neared the lake, Sasami's sobs grew louder. "Ten…chi…wh..ats…"
"Sasami! Don't speak! Just let it take you!"
"Ryoko?" Tenchi looked above him. There floated Ryoko, still crying just as heavily as
before. Her tears rolled off her delicate cheeks and feel onto the ground below.
Sasami was moving above the water as Tenchi darted out to pull her back.
"No, Tenchi!" Ryoko grabbed him and flung him back ten feet away, causing him to
crash hard into the dirt ground.
"Ryoko! What was that for?" That same anger roared up in his eyes once again.
"Tenchi, I-"
"I can understand you're still mad, but I have to help Sasami! Get out of my way!"
Ryoko didn't budge as she held out her arms to block Tenchi's path. Tenchi's eyes were
flaming now as her pushed Ryoko out of the way.
"No Tenchi!" Ryoko grasped Tenchi's shirt collar and pulled Tenchi back again, and this
time held him where he was.
"Ryoko, what the hell are you doing?! Let go of me!"
"No!" Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Tenchi built up his energy and threw Ryoko off of him.
She slapped him. "Fine! I save your life, and that's the thanks I get…then…fine! I
never want to see you again Tenchi. EVER!! I guess I really am I demon to you."
Ryoko flew up and dashed away, leaving a trail of tears on the ground below her. Then,
she disappeared into thin air.
Tenchi looked into the air puzzled as a blinding light crashed across the ground and sky,
throwing Tenchi 20 feet. Tenchi's emotions were quickly diverted to Sasami.
"Sasami! Sasami! Are you alright??" As Tenchi ran to the little Sasami, Tenchi almost
feel backwards at what he saw. "Sasami?"
"Tenchi. I now see everything clearly." Sasami wasn't just Sasami anymore…
"Sasami what happened to you?"
"Tenchi, Ryoko did save your life. You see, when one transforms into a goddess, no one
can be around. Ryoko knew that somehow."
Tenchi stared in a stupefied gaze. "But, Sasami, what about Tsunami?"
Sasami looked down at the ground as her eyes watered. "She's…not here anymore. She
is within me, in my soul…and I am a goddess."



"Sasami is…" Washu exclaimed.
Tokimi turned to her. "So, it's already begun."
"Tokimi?"
"Washu, what are you to do about you poor daughter?"
Washu growled under her breath. "If only I had know…I would never have-"
"You knew. When you were a goddess. All three of us did. We sensed the darkness that
was coming. But you! You chose to ignore it. The burden of a goddess was just too
much for you wasn't it?! And you chose to leave us, that day…the day that we needed
you the most."
"I-I-I never wanted to hurt Ryoko!"
"Well, you did. Now you must pass along your awful fate…"
Washu sighed, " How could I have done this?"
"…or face it."
"What!?" Washu looked up at her older sister in awe. "You mean…?"
"Only Ryoko can decide the fates now."




Ryoko wanted to fly to the moon and leave everything behind. A few more silvery tears
slid down her cheek. What was this sick feeling she had inside of her? And why did
Tenchi act this way? All she ever did was love him…but no one can love a demon, she
thought. No one, not even Tenchi…
