Tenchi Muyo: No need for a Bad Monday, Everyone turns form the Princess
Tenchi had seen her cut off her gem and he tried to stop her but he was too slow. He reached her in time to hear her say goodbye. Ayeka was stunned she could not move, nor speak. She realized all too late that she had in fact driven Ryoko to this with her words.
Just a moment later Washu had appeared out of a portal and pulled Ryoko and Tenchi into it. After trying many things on Ryoko she had gotten her somewhat patched up, but she realized that Ryoko was fighting it, she no longer wanted to live. Tenchi watched as Washu tried many things including hooking up a machine that took over for her heart and another that took over her breathing.
"I'm sorry Tenchi, but she does not want to regenerate. I cannot force her to, and she may be technically alive, for now. But if she does not start to regenerate then she will just..." Washu had tried to keep up her doctor persona, but she broke down and started crying at the thought of loosing another child.
As she cried Tenchi held her and cried too, he did not want to loose Ryoko either. Outside Mihoshi and Sasami had seen the exchange and saw what Ryoko did. Sasami spoke up first after Washu left with Tenchi and Ryoko. "Ryoko? Tenchi?"
"Sasami, I..." Ayeka could not even think of what to say.
"I hate you Ayeka! I am glad I'm not your real sister! I, I never want to see you again!" The little princess was upset and confused, but her words cut Ayeka like nothing had before. Ayeka fell to the ground weeping like she had never done before. Sasami had run back inside and began crying on her bed. Mihoshi was not sure what to do, it had all happened so fast.
Mihoshi walked back inside and saw a dazed Ryo-Ohki lying on the couch. Picking up the cabbit she tried to comfort her. Unknown to Mihoshi she had tried twice to go to her mistress but had been told to stay back, but now she could no longer feel her presence. Mihoshi even tried to get the cabbit to eat a carrot, but she would not eat or do anything. Never had Mihoshi been so lost, unsure as to what had just happened and what to do from here. For so long she lived without a care, but after seeing Ryoko try to take her own life from what Ayeka said was too much.
She remembered when she had tripped and knocked Kiyone over into that Ultra Energy she felt responsible and tried to retreat into her youth where she was happy and carefree. She did not know how to escape from this or even what to do from here. Holding Ryo-Ohki in her arms she began to cry over the loss of her friends.
While Ayeka cried at the spot that Ryoko fell she heard someone call her name. "Ayeka. Ayeka?"
She looked back towards the house and saw no one. But when she lifted her head towards the dock she saw Tsunami before her. Crying again she began to plead with the goddess. "Please! You have to restore Ryoko's Life!"
Tsunami looked at her, "my dear Ayeka, isn't this what you wanted? You have killed her without even touching her. Is not Tenchi yours then?"
"NO! I did not want her dead! I, I just wanted her to..."
"To what?"
Ayeka could feel her insides burning, as she knew that Tsunami could see through her. "Yes, I wanted her dead. But I was wrong." She looked up at the goddess again; "please you have to restore her life. Tenchi will be heart-broken if she dies. And Sasami will never want to see me again." As she said the last part she buried her face in her hands.
Tsunami moved closer to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Ayeka, your sister loves you. But she is deeply hurt by your actions. Do you really want Ryoko to live again?"
"Yes, please?" Ayeka was almost begging.
"At this moment she does still live but her life is hanging in the balance of several things. Do you see the gem before you? It is the same one that she cut off from her arm. Take hold of it and go to Funaho. There you are to wash your face in the water and wait."
"But what will that do?"
"At this moment Ayeka, nothing. But you are to pray there till you find why you want her to live and what will happen if she does." When she finished speaking the image was gone.
She looked at the ground before her and saw the gem covered in blood. Carefully she collected it and went to Funaho to wash and pray as she had been told. Inside as Sasami cried she felt a hand on her head. When the little princess looked up she saw Tsunami.
"What do you want?"
"Dearest Sasami, I am here to help you." The little princess just looked away, as she did not want help right now. "I know you feel hurt over what has happened. We may not have joined completely, but I can still feel your pain."
"She killed her though! She never liked Ryoko. Never. All she wanted was to find and marry Yosho. She carried me away from my home; my family and we slept for 700 years! Then when she met Tenchi she only was interested in him to take him back so she could be a bride. She does not even care about him!" Tsunami listened as the little girl went on and on about her sister. "I always wanted to be strong like her and maybe a bride to, but I never want to be like her. Not when she kills my friend." Her voice trailed off as she began crying again.
"Your sister is quite strong in many ways, and as for her feelings towards Yosho, she has not learned yet what love is or what it means. For her life on Jurai she has always gotten what she wanted when she wanted. No one ever told her no or showed her what true love was. Do not be angry with her. She is learning things the hard way now."
"What do you mean now?" The princess still cared for her sister no matter what she said. Tsunami moved closer and placed a hand to Sasami's forehead. She allowed her to she what her sister had recently said and done. In a soft voice she asked the goddess, "will Ryoko really live?"
"In time my sister will ask us for help Sasami, when that time comes I want you to be brave and do not fear the future." When she finished the image was gone and Sasami was left with several questions. The main one was what might the future hold and right below that one was why did she say sister?
Tenchi could not believe his day, of all days he had put Ryoko in his bed only to have Ayeka and her have an argument over something. More than likely the cause of the argument was her being in his bed. Then when he thought he could tell her how he feels he lied and may have lost her forever now. Inwardly he cursed this day and wished that the sun had never risen.
"You do not mean that Tenchi."
His head jerked up to see Tsunami before him. He knew she was a goddess and for her to hear his thoughts was easy. "Why did this have to happen? Why?"
"That I cannot tell you, you will have to seek that answer from the source." As she spoke she gestured to Ryoko. "Your future and hers hangs in a delicate balance at this moment. What determines the outcome is based on your actions. Remember to save the life of another you must be willing to loose your own." With that said she had vanished before his eyes.
"I would gladly die many times just to save her." Tenchi spoke to the air where Tsunami was, but no one heard him but himself. He turned and looked at her and saw that her hand had still not regenerated. "Little Washu?"
"Yes Tenchi?" Washu had whipped the tears from her eyes as she looked up and moved closer to him. She had been engrossed in her examination of Ryoko and her own thoughts to notice that Tsunami had just been there.
"Why, um. Why did you not show up before then? I thought you had a link with her and felt everything she felt?" He was not sure why he wanted to know, but that question was burning deep into the recesses on his mind.
"I wish I had been there faster." She looked at the floor as more tears fell. "I know that she was asleep in your room and that you placed her in your bed. It was after you were gone that Ayeka had caught her there. A lot of things were said that you should talk to Ayeka about, but Ryoko did not want me around. She left to find you, which she did." After wiping away a few tears she continued, "Since you were holding her I did not think I was needed. She was still thinking about what Ayeka had told her and when you talked to her it confirmed something in her mind. So she ran away again, but she refused to talk to me."
"I know I have been a horrible mother, hell I have not even been any kind of mother. I have embarrassed her, ridiculed her and in some ways tortured her. No parent should ever do those things to their children and still be called parents." Washu was weeping uncontrollably as she remembered things that had happened to Ryoko when under Kagato's control and now she had not treated her much better. She had known from the beginning how her daughter felt about Tenchi and yet she was constantly trying to get him away from her, to perform tests and collect a special specimen.
He was unsure what to do, as Ryoko was near death and no one knew how to save her. "Washu, do you think that if I was to give her back all of her gems it would help her recover faster?"
"Maybe Tenchi, but what has happened has hurt more than her body and you have no way of touching her mind and she will not let me near her." Washu ran away crying as Ryoko had rejected her as her mother. So no matter how much she tried if her daughter did not want to live then she would not regenerate.
Remembering his promise earlier he returned two of the gems to her. But it did not seam to have a visible effect. Not knowing what to do he left the lab in search of answers. If Ryoko could not tell him what happened earlier today then maybe Ayeka could. He went to the living room and talked to Mihoshi who said that Ayeka had gone off into the woods. She also told him about Ryo-Ohki and how she would not even eat a carrot. Tenchi knew that if things were not corrected soon he might loose more of his family.
Outside he went to the spot where Ryoko had fallen and he did not see her gem anywhere. "If it is the gem you seek, seek out Ayeka." He looked up to see Tsunami on the lake, but before he could ask her where she was the image faded away.
He left the yard and started going up the steps to the shrine, but along the way he decided to stop by his grandfathers space tree, Funaho. As he approached the tree he saw Ayeka there. He approached slowly and saw that she was deep in meditation. Never being one to break someone's meditation he had thought about leaving. But with Ryoko being in serious condition he needed answers now.
"Ayeka?"
Without moving she responded, "Yes?"
He moved a bit closer and asked her, "What happened today?"
She took a big breath of air and turned around, he then saw that her eyes were red and puffy too like she had been crying a lot. "Tenchi it is quite simple. I saw her in your bed and jumped to a wrong conclusion and berated her. I told her that you pitied her and were scared of her. And later when I saw her again I could not leave well enough alone and I started again. I have killed her. I deserve no sympathy." She looked away and felt a great relief that she had finally confessed it to him. Then she added, "you love her don't you?"
