6 years later

---------------------------------------------------------------------

A six year old brown spiky haired boy sat on a high stool eating his breakfast.

In front of him,his mother,Ryoko washed her dishes.

A small ray of light made it's way through the window which was slightly opened.

The heat of the morning surrounded the area.

The boy drank the remains of his apple juice.

"Mom...I'm done." he said to her.

Ryoko turned around with a smile.

"Okay son...," she picked up the cup and,after giving her son a peck in the cheek,she picked the plates which the boy had eaten on.

"Mom.." the boy said in a curious tone.

"Yes?" she replied while taking the remainings and throwing them in the trash.

"Why did my father... die?" he asked curiously.

From the surprise,Ryoko dropped the cup.

It hit the floor and broke into pieces.

"Your fa-father?" Ryoko asked silently as she kneeled and started picking the shattered glass.

"Yes! why? ...and why aren't I allowed to go through the back door?," the boy asked again.

" I thought we had already discussed that!" Ryoko said sadly.

She accidentally cut herself while picking one part of the glass.

"Ouch!" she let out.

Her finger started bleeding almost inmediatly.

She gently rinsed it with water.

She watched as the water slowly turned red and went down the drain.

"Mom?" the boy said quietly.

"You finished eating didn't you!? Go back to your room!" Ryoko said to him,angrily,not facing him.

The boy lowered his head, got down from the stool and left to his room.

Ryoko looked at him as he left, with a frustrated look.

She felt tears run down her cheeks.

She angrily wiped them away and punched the table a few times.

"Damn you,Tenchi!" she yelled angrily inside her head.

She soon weakened and began to cry.

------------------------------------------------------

Outside

----------------------------------------

Tenchi spun around with a confused look.

"Did you guys just hear that?" he asked them.

Ayeka,Sasami,Mihoshi and Noboyuki shook their heads no.

"Oh...hmmm weird...I guess it's nothing..," Tenchi said and went back to eating.

Ayeka giggled softly.

"Silly Tenchi,"she told him in her sweet voice.

Soon everybody laughed at this.

Tenchi felt himself blush,but soon joined the laughter.

-----------------------------------

Nightime

-----------------------------------------------------------

Tenko's alarm started ringing.

He quickly woke up and turned it off.

He then stopped and listened to see if anyone had noticed.

He looked at Ryo-ohki,she was still sleeping.

"Phew!," he sighed in relief .

He slowly got off his bed and turned the door's handle slowly.

The door made a screeching sound as he pushed it.

He stopped for a while,no signs on anyone coming.

He sighed once again and slowly made his way to the back door.

Just when he was passing across her mother's room she heard her yell: "No! Stop right there!".

He stopped dead in his tracks,and closed his eyes,waiting for the door to be opened.

But it wasnt.

He sighed again.

"She must be speaking in her sleep." he said to himself.

He hurried up a bit...almost there....

After turning the handle, he pushed the door open.

His heart skipped a beat.

"Whoa!" he said atonished.

Huge machines were all around,there was a giantic pool full of some weird animal things.

'Wow this is so cool!" he kept wandering around,even though it was dark,it didn't bother his eyes.

He somehow could see perfectly.

He finnally arrived to what seemed the entrance/exit.

Without noticing the red crab intop of it,he pushed the door opened.

When he heard the sound,he gulped.

"Who's there?," a familiar voice asked.

He remained silent.

Soon he heard steps.

He remained there frozen,not able to do a thing.

Soon from the shadows he saw his grandmother.

"Grandma?' he asked in curiosity.

"Tenko! What are you doing here?!This is a very dangerous place!" Washu said with a glare.

"Uh I..." he was thinking quickly,an excuse...he needed one,but he couldn' think of one!

"Grandson,I know you're not supoused to be here! Its forbidden! Go back to your room before I call your mother over here!" Washu told him angrily.

"No!" Tenko shook his head,and he took one step backwards, steping out of the room.

He found himself infront of the door,in what looked like a house.

He also heard some voices,as if there were people eating or something.

He also realized,that wherever he was,it wasn't night time,but it was morning!

He saw the door swing open and her mother standing there,with his grandmother behind her.

Tenko gulped,he quickly got up and ran.

"Tenko! Come back here or you will be punished for a week!," Ryoko yelled angrily.

He didn't care where he was going,he didn't see..he just wanted to get away from them.

Suddenly he bumped ino something,or someone.

He was thrown backwards and landed on his bath.

He shook his head and looked up to whoever it was.

It was a woman,she had purple long hair and red eyes,she looked at Tenko.

Brown spiky hair...Ryoko's eyes....this is?? how...no it's impossible! she thought to herself.

"Who are you little one? Where are your parents how did you get here?" she asked.

"I'm Tenko...my mother...eeh well...I really don't have time to explain!" he quickly got up and tried to run past Ayeka,but felt a hand grab him by the back of his shirt.

Tenko?...Tenchi-Ryoko...the first three letters...Ten..the last two...ko...Tenchi and Ryoko? What is going on? This kid looks so much like both! Could it be... Ayeka thought.

"Tenko!! Boy! You are really going to get it when we get home!" Ryoko told Tenko,still holding him.

"Ryoko?!" Ayeka said in surprise.

"Ayeka???" Ryoko was amazed.

"You-where did you-how did you!?!?" tons and tons of questions ran through Ayeka's mind.

"Princess? You're still here?" Ryoko asked her with disgust.

She looked at Washu with a glare,who just gulped.

"I can explain..." she muttered.

"Hey Ayeka,what's going on?" a familiar voice asked.

Soon,Ryoko,Tenko and Washu saw who it was:Tenchi.

The handsome young man stepped into the scene.

Tenchi was now different,his hear was longer and he looked ven more handsome.

He gasped.

"R-Ryoko??" he asked, he sure wasn't expecting there to be there.

The small boy took the oportunity to slip off her mother's grip.

Tenchi saw the boy.

Wow! He sure has grown! Tenchi thought.

Washu sighed,and looked to them troubled.

Ryoko couldn't control her emotions and she hugged Tenchi , wrapping her arms around his neck.

She didn't care Ayeka was watching,she didn't care Tenchi had forgotten about them in a couple of years.

She just wanted to feel Tenchi's warmth again.

Tenchi was surprised,soon he felt Ryoko's tears run down his chest.

"Tenchi...? How long have you been here? Why haven't you come to visit me and Tenko?," Ryoko asked him,her voice trembling.

"Lord Tenchi? What is going on!? I think you owe me an explanation!," Ayeka said angrily.

" Little Washu...what's this all about? I thought you had left,Ryoko.." Tenchi said,looking at Washu.

"Well,its a long story...Lord Tenchi,Ayeka,come with me...you too Ryoko," they both nodded.

Ryoko stopped hugging Tenchi and followed them.

She grabbed Tenko by the neck of his shirt "don't think I've forgotten about your punishment, Tenko!"

"But mooooooooom!!!!" he started.

"Shut up and behave at least until we solve this!" Ryoko said angrily.

Tenko looked away with a pout.

"Anyway,what's going on?," Tenko asked still mad.

"Nothing son,you just wait...wait and see...,"she said,now smiling.

Later at Washu's lab-

--------------------------------------

"So,Ryoko it was all for the best. I told Tenchi you were gone with your baby because you were tired of him,because you thought he did'nt love you. I told you Tenchi and everyone else had died. But it was all for the best. Tenchi didn't really care about you guys anymore,so that's why I did it," Washu finished.

"Washu that was horrible! True I didn't come to visit that often anymore...but still..." Tenchi looked at Ryoko.

Ryoko stood up and grabbed Washu by the neck of her outfit.

Rage ran across her body.

"ALL FOR THE BEST!?????,"Ryoko yelled.

"Yes besides,he and Ayeka...," she paused.

She wanted to punch her,she raised her fisted hand.

"Go on,I deserve it." Washu mumbled.

"What about Tenchi and Ayeka?!," she asked.

"Ask him yourself!," Washu replied.

Ryoko felt Tenchi's hands fall on her shoulders.

"Ryoko,calm down," he said.

So she did.

Still she let Washu fall unto the floor.

"And you hid this from me all this time? That you and that demon had a child?!," Ayeka yelled angrily.

Tenchi nodded slowly.

"Many times I tried to tell you but I just couldnt...Ayeka..." Tenchi said quietly.

" I would have preferred to know first! So many years,and you never said a word... I thought I was getting closer to you! I thought after that night by the cherry blossom..meant something to you! But no! You loved her! You always did! And I thought you had chosen me!" Ayeka said,as tears started running down her cheeks.

"What? What does she mean by that about the night? What happened between you two?" Ryoko asked.

She watched as Ayeka tried to whip her tears away and as she opened her mouth but closed it a couple of times.

"Tenchi! I love you so much! You can't imagine the pain I'm going through right now! Just what does she have that I don't? Tell me! I've spent my life here and now you've broken my heart? For six years!? For six years! FIrst Yosho and now you!Where did I go wrong?" Ayeka ran outside her lab,and tripped.

There she laid not being able to move,just crying her eyes out.

"Where did I go wrong?" she asked herself.

Soon she felt someone approach her.

Whoever it was,she didn't dare to look at because of her state.

"Ayeka,what's wrong?" the sweet voice of her little sister asked.

Tenchi arrived there but soon saw Sasami kneeling beside her,so he decided it was best for them both to comunicate either than him and Ayeka.

Tenchi turned around and left.

Sasami lifted Ayeka's head and whipped away her tears.

Ayeka sat on her knees and looked at her sister's eyes,which now were full of concern.

"I'll make you a nice hot cup of tea,come on,you can tell me all about it," she said,trying to obviously getting into talking.

Ayeka nodded,still sobbing silently.

She stood up and followed her young sister into the kitchen.
