Ryoko looked at Washu strangely. " What do you mean circle. I'm here in life threatening danger, and you're talking about shapes. Humph, grow up Washu." Washu actually had the nerve to tell her what she experienced was a part of a d*** circle. She better try harder than that. To say Ryoko was upset, would be considered the understatement of the year. Washu however, didn't show any sign she even heard Ryoko, which proved to anger her even more. Then, she spoke. " Ryoko, follow me please,"
Washu said as she headed toward the more shadowed section of the lab.
Washu led her up to a staircase that she had never seen before. " When did you create this, I've never seen this around." Washu continued walking up the stairs as she answered, " This has been here as long as my lab has. It remains hidden until I command it differently." Ryoko said nothing the rest of the walk.
When they reached the room, Ryoko was surprised to find one of their many taken group pictures enlarged, and posted against the wall. Ryoko remembered that day well…
It was a week after the Zero accident. Katsuhito had proposed that they go on an afternoon picnic to calm everyone's nerves. Everyone had been able to go, except for Tenchi's dad. Sometimes that man just worked too hard. Ryoko was still adjusting to Zero's presence, so she was a bit calmer at that time. She had yet to fight with Ayeka, and the tension was growing. Sasami had cooked a wonderful meal; no one could disagree on that subject. Mihoshi had given her own appreciation as she had sucked up all of her food, and most of Kiyone's too. Kiyone was prepared for this and had an extra plate of food waiting for her to devour. Ayeka had, " oh so delicately," eaten her meal in that uptight princessly way she always did. Only after she finished did she, oh so quietly, give her thanks to Sasami. ( AN: I have nothing against Ayeka. This is from Ryoko's POV. Actually, I only bare a grudge against Sakuya for the most part. 0o) I, of course graciously ate my share of the meal, and I did thank the little angel for her efforts. Washu, Katsuhito, and Tenchi all ate their fillings, and afterwards they politely thanked Sasami. After my Tenchi thanked Sasami-chan, Ryo-ohki miyad ( AN: Sorry XX, I figure I spelt miyad wrong, but I forgot how to. If you know, email or review.) her happiness for getting the basketful of carrots all to herself. At this time, I decided to show Tenchi my love. I flew up to him, and wrapped my arms around his strong body. " Tenchi, aren't our children just adorable." I was waiting for a response, when I saw Her stomping towards us. " Here comes that witch, trying to destroy our love. Tenchi, please save me." Ayeka was as purple as her hair then. " Miss Ryoko, would you kindly get your hands off Lord Tenchi this instant!" I had scoffed. This pipsqueak dare challenge me. Well, we'll just have to make her eat her own words, won't we? I created my light sword, while at the same time, Ayeka powered up with her mini logs. Tenchi, as powerful as he was, crouched in a cowardly way before us. Suddenly, I got an idea! I grabbed Tenchi's right arm. I then, started to float upwards with Tenchi in tow. " R-Ryoko, what are you doing. I want to keep my feet on the ground," Tenchi said. I hung in mid-air, with Tenchi half-a-foot off the ground. Ayeka took her chance to grab Tenchi's left arm. It was war. We both pulled on Tenchi's arms, stretching him between us. " G-Girls, please stop. I'm not a rope you know. Hey, ouch!" We continued, not paying any attention to him. " Hey girls, why don't we take a picture instead."? Now, I was interested. I wasn't the only one. Ayeka too, stopped pulling. " What a great idea Tenchi," Mihoshi bubbled. Sasami looked happy, and a bit relieved too. " Where will we get a camera?" Kiyone was hit in the head with a mallet for asking such an ignorant question. " I'm not the greatest scientific genius in the universe for nothing," Washu growled, annoyed. Washu brought out her holotop, and within the next few seconds, a camera popped into existence. Washu set up, as we got ready. I of course, stood on Tenchi's right, while the princess took his left. Sasami surprised me, by jumping onto my back. It didn't take to long to adjust to her weight, so she now had her arms around my neck, and her legs wrapped around my torso where I held them. Ryo-ohki jumped on top of Ayeka's big head, and to my surprise, she let her stay there. Grandpa Katsuhito stood behind Tenchi, with his hands on Tenchi's shoulders. I think he was trying to keep Tenchi steady without us noticing. Kiyone sat in front of me, and Mihoshi sat in front of Tenchi. Mihoshi's right arm was draped across Kiyone's shoulders, and her left hand came up in a peace sign. I gave my best smirk to the camera as Washu came running toward us. At the last moment she jumped towards Tenchi, who caught her out of reflex. I think Katsuhito's grip tightened. Before Ayeka and I could react, the picture was taken, and Washu had jumped to the ground. It still angers me she could do that. (An: in case you were wondering, they're using one of those timed cameras.) Ryo-ohki jumped off of Ayeka's head, but Sasami stayed put. " Ryoko-neechan, will you fly me around, pretty please." Who could resist that kid? I spent a couple of minutes flying around, one of the only people who didn't care about my past, having fun. I am truly grateful to Sasami. We had all gone home that day in the best of moods, and were relaxed…
" Ryoko." Oh, she's calling me. " I hear you Washu. What is it?" " Ryoko, I know you will not believe this, but this all has to do with a story. In order for you to understand, you must hear and comprehend this story. Please listen to me." " Fine, I'll listen to you. Just hurry this up." I went to the far end of the room to lie down on the bed. When I was comfortable, she started…
"In the beginning of time, there were three immortal sisters. Because of their power, they were considered goddesses. One sister, who was the youngest, was more inclined towards good thoughts. Another sister, which was the middle child, was more incline toward dark thoughts, The last sister, who was the oldest, was not inclined either way. She balanced between the two, never taking sides. Over millions of years the middle goddess grew to be a woman. She began to grow fond of one of the lower gods. His name was Jakai. Soon, they began to meet and talk. One day, they did more than just talk. This resulted in a female child being born. They named this child…Tokimi."
Ryoko, who had been gazing at the ceiling lazily; quickly snapped to attention. Her eyes widened slightly, and she quietly listened, more intently then before. Washu continued.
It was there that Washu stopped to fully look at Ryoko. Ryoko didn't look like she would take this too well.
" Ryoko, when I created you, I was not aware of the third rule. I was not even aware of my goddess hood. I had erased my memories about 55,000 years ago. I had wanted to see what it was like being human. I wanted to know why people lived. My first child was assassinated the second week his " family" had taken him away from me. That's when I decided to create you. I wanted someone to love, and for them to love me also. When you were born, my three gems started to glow. I had had those three gems since I had started my new life, but I didn't know anything about them. Those same gems embedded themselves inside of you. Two of them went to each of your wrists, while the last one went to the base of your neck. I was so proud at that moment, then, I became unconscious. It turns out that my dear student, Kagato, took that time to imprison me, and take you captive. When Mihoshi released me from my crystal, I searched for you. When I found you, we were too far apart to know each other. I was sad, but the damage had been done. About two weeks ago, I began to have a slight pain in my head. Everyday it became worse. Until one day, when Tsunami came to me. She had stopped the pain, but at the same time, she gave me back my memories. You are the one who caused that headache in the first place. You have finally reached the power level that you had to gain. The Circle has been restarted, and you must train your powers. You must succeed me, and take my title."
Ryoko wasn't going down without a fight. " You tell me all
of this today, and now you're making me take your " title. Have you thought
about me Washu? Has it crossed your mind, that I don't want to be a goddess?
Did you ever think of that?" Washu closed her eyes, and then she slowly opened
them to look at Ryoko. " Yes, I did think of that Ryoko. No matter what you may
think, I do care. Ryoko, if you do not train your power, it will either corrupt
you, or destroy you. If it corrupts you, you'll most likely lose all of your
sanity, and go on a mad killing spree. If it destroys you, then it does just
that. It kills you."
Washu still, seemed unaffected. " Ryoko I told you this. I have no influence of good or bad. Tsunami is persuaded to see the purer side of things. Just because I'm not aggressive, doesn't mean I don't care. Don't ever, assume that."
Both women were upset and hurt, and neither was backing
down. " Ryoko.." "Don't Washu. Just don't say anything now." Washu and Ryoko
were both standing, facing the other. Washu stood showing nothing through her
body language, or on her face. Ryoko stood opposite, her hands were balled into
fists, and her face was shadowed. Her head was tipped downward as she spoke. "
I will think about this. Don't get in my way. I'll come to you when I'm ready
to answer. And if you dare tell anyone, I'll make sure your funeral
comes before mine." With a feral growl, Ryoko flew downstairs and out of the
lab door.
