Disclaimer: I don't own Tenchi Muyo, although I wish I did.
A/N: Thanks for the reviews and the good advice! I now know that Sesami is really Sasami so that will be changed. I didn't have time to write for a few days, but now I'm back. Just in case anyone wanted to know, this is a Ryoko/Tenchi fic. Also, I forgot before but now I will be putting the name of the chapter before the story. Enjoy! ^_^
2^nd Chapter - Sayonara Minna-san
The day was unusually hot so everyone stayed inside. Washu worked on different experiments while Mihoshi, Aeka, and Kione watched television. Of course, they were watching Mihoshi's favorite show, `The Police Police' (A/N: At least I think that's what it's called. Just work with me.) Or should I say Mihoshi was.
"Mihoshi, I thought this show only came on in the evening," Kione said.
"It does," Mihoshi answered, not taking her eyes away from the TV screen.
"But it's the afternoon," Aeka protested.
"It's a marathon."
"Nani?!" Aeka and Kione cried at the same time.
"We're not watching this all day!" Kione yelled.
"But...Kione! It's a marathon!" Mihoshi cried, clutching the remote control to her chest.
"Mihoshi, I'll be damned if I have to sit here and rot my brain to mush like yours!"
Thus the fight over the remote control began.
"Hmm...where's Sasami?" Aeka wondered after noticing that her stomach was growling. Then her eyes widened. "Where's Ryoko?!"
Her mind began to fill with all of the possibilities that could be happening between Ryoko and Tenchi.
"Oh! That woman!"
She stormed from her position on the couch in search of Ryoko, but then Tenchi walked in.
"Oh Tenchi!" she cried, clutching onto his arm. "Where have you been?! Somewhere with Ryoko?"
"I've just been sweeping the steps," Tenchi moaned, reclaiming his arm
"Good! I couldn't bear to know that you've been hanging around that demon!"
Before Tenchi could reply, Yosho announced, "Tea!"
* * *
Ryoko couldn't keep her composure. She needed time to think; to understand what had just happened. What did just happen? Tenchi just stated that he didn't want her around or at least...that's what he was trying to say...wasn't it? Ryoko sat silently on a boulder next to a pond, her head resting in the palms of her hands, and just stared into nothing. Although her eyes had been watering only one tear fell since that moment and that made her wonder. One tear? Why not many? After all...they were for Tenchi. It was because of him that she wanted to... Ryoko suddenly raised her head, her glossy eyes blinking back tears that wanted to expose themselves.
"It's because of you, Tenchi," Ryoko said, silently. "That I have to leave."
* * *
Everyone sat around the little table, drinking the tea that Yosho had made. They guessed that the tea was supposed to make up for the missed lunch, but that wasn't the issue. Where was Sasami?
"We should go look for her," Aeka said, worry in her voice.
"I could go," Kione cried, jumping up. "Then once I find her I can report it back to HQ! Then they'll congratulate me and say that I'm worthy of coming back and they'll reassign me!!"
Everyone sweatdropped.
"Or maybe not," she said, sitting back down and going back into her gloomy mood.
"I don't think we have anything to worry about," Tenchi said. "Maybe she just wanted to get away for a while. She probably took Ryo-oki with her too."
"I guess," Aeka agreed.
They continued to drink their tea until Ryoko suddenly appeared. She stood in the doorway.
"Ryoko!" Mihoshi said. "Where have you been?"
"Just...thinking," Ryoko answered, her eyes looking over everyone. When they landed on Tenchi, who was staring back, she quickly looked away.
"Thinking?" Aeka snorted. "Thinking about trouble, no doubt."
Ryoko just slowly shook her head and Aeka was suddenly confused. No come back? No smart remarks? No leaning on Tenchi's shoulder?
"Will you join us for tea?" Yosho asked, pouring her a cup.
"Iie!" Ryoko cried suddenly, startling everyone. "I-I can't! I..." Her eyes started to drift in Tenchi's direction but she quickly shut them. "I'm sorry if I inconvenienced anyone by staying here... I have to leave!"
With that she ran out.
"Nani?" Everyone looked at each other.
Then Tenchi, Aeka, Mihoshi, and Kione ran after her, but just as they came to the front door, she had jumped into the sky and disappeared.
"Ryoko!" Mihoshi cried.
"She's gone," Aeka said, holding in a secret smile.
Tenchi searched the sky, hoping that it wasn't true. Aeka noticed this.
"Oh well, no sense in standing in the heat. She said that she was leaving and now she's gone."
Aeka went inside followed by Kione.
"I'm going to miss you, Ryoko," Mihoshi said, quietly before walking back inside.
Tenchi was the last to leave.
"So long...Ryoko," he said.
Way up in the sky, very far away, Ryoko looked back.
"And Sayonara to you too, Tenchi."
