'...thoughts...'
"...talking..."
(...me talking..."
Betrayed by the One I Love
'Why did he do that to me?' Ryoko asked herself as she hid in one of Washu's little dimensions that were made for her. 'I didn't think that he hated me that much. Maybe he's right. Maybe I am the one who causes all the trouble around here.....Maybe I should just leave like he says. It sure would make their lives a whole lot easier. Then they wouldn't have to worry about me getting in the way anymore.......Not even Ayeka....." Her thoughts began to trail off as more tears began to slowly fall down her face. Minutes passed as she just held herself, trying to control her sadness, and failing miserabley. Until she heard someone call her name. But she ignored it, not caring who it was. She just wanted the pain to stop. But the constant calling of her name just became louder as it got closer to her. But she continued to ignore it, no matter how much she wanted to call for the person so she wouldn't be alone.
"Ryoko!" yelled Washu as she walked through her dimensions looking for Ryoko. "Ryoko, where are you? Please answer me little Ryoko.
"Ryoko, please come out! We just want to talk to you!" called Sasami.
"Please Ryoko! Don't hide from me forever!" After a few moments of silence, Washu finally heard something. It was rather faint and sounded as though it was coming from further in the room. So she slowly walked towards the sound, Sasami following close behind her. And what she found nearly broke her heart in two. Her daughter Ryoko was huddled up in a ball, crying her eyes out as though she had nearly been killed. "Ryoko..." she spoke softly, not wanting to scare her. Ryoko looked up at her mom, not saying a word. But as more thears feel softly from her eyes, Washu knew what she needed. She walked up to Ryoko, changed into her adult form and hugged Ryoko close to her. Slowly rocking her as Ryoko's tears soaked into her shirt. She spoke soothing words to her, trying to calm her the best she could. Sasami came up to both of them, trying to help the best she could, even though she wasn't quite sure what she should do.
"Ryoko," Washu said lightly, "You really should calm down. Crying like this isn't going to help much. Even thogh it seems like the only thing that can right now. I know what it's like my little Ryoko. Feeling as though your life has been shredded to pieces because the one thing you love most in your life hurt you in one way or another. But trust me my little Ryoko, sitting here isn't going to help much. You need to talk to people. So that they can help you in some way the best they can. So please Ryoko, come with me, we'll go find the other's and we can all talk to each other. But I'll be there to talk to you throughout the whole thing. And to hold you if you need me to. I won't go anywhere, I promise. So please, will you at least come out of the lab with me. So that we don't have to talk in here. Please?"
Ryoko was silent at first, not sure what to say. But she slowly shock her head yes. She really didn't want to be in the lab throughout the whole thing anyway. So she, Washu and Sasami left the lab. They soon walked into the living room to find that no one was there.
"Hey Sasami, do you know where everyone went to?" asked Washu.
"No, I didn't think anyone had anything to do today. They could be on the Onsen. We can go there." replied Sasami.
"That sounds like a good place to go. Could you make some tea for us please and send it up there for us?"
"Yea, sure. I'll get it up there as soon as I can."
"Thank you Sasami" Washu bowwed slightly, then put her attention back to Ryoko as Sasami left to the kitchen to make some warm tea. "Come on Ryoko. If no one is there, we can at least relax there. Alright?" Ryoko shock her head yes and proceeded to walk with Washu to the Onsen.
~*~ Back with Tenchi ~*~
'I still can't believe I did that.' Tenchi thought to himself silently. 'Why is it I always do that to Ryoko anyway? I mean, I don't hate her, but most of the time I treat her like I do. I've tried so hard to change my attitude with her. But for some odd reason, everytime I try to talk to her about something she and Ayeka had done, I always seem to snap on her like more than anyone else. Ayeka's right, I let everyone have the same rights and I just take them away from her like she never had the same rights at all. I would've never figured Ayeka to stand up for her, but I really deserved what she said. I deserved what everyone said. And if I could only find Ryoko, then I'd somehow tell her how sorry I am. Arg! And how come I still haven't come up with anything?!? Come to think of it, I don't really think that there is anything I could say that would show how sorry I am. I hurt her badly with what I said. Hell, maybe I should be the one to leave. I always heard that payback is a bitch. I guess this is what they mean by it huh? ::sigh:: Only if I did know where she was. I could at least try to say sorry. Even if it's not enough. I just want to know she's at least ok....." His thoughts trailed off as he stopped at the entrance of her cave. 'I hope she's not in here..." he said to himself as he entered to cave. Praying to God that she wasn't.....
~*~ Back at the Onsen ~*~
"Hello there Miss Washu. Ryoko, are you alright?" asked a rather concerned Ayeka (Ok, so she's REALLY occ. but I think it sounds better that way with this story, don't you agree?) as Washu and Ryoko walked into the Onsen. "I guess I'll take that as a no huh?.....Would you like to talk about it Ryoko?" (ok, now she's really occ. sorry ppl...)(btw ppl, if you listen to Micheal Jackson's 'You Are Not Alone' while reading this, you'll understand why I did all the occ stuff. the song had an affect with my writting 2-day.)
Ryoko wasn't sure what to say. 'I thought she hated me...' she asked herself, a little confused on this whole situation. But she decided that if Ayeka was offering her to talk, she might as well take her up on the offer. "Thanks Ayeka. I'd really appreciate it," she said lightly, almost not even audiable. So Ryoko and Washu joined everyone in the water, quite at first, not sure how to start the conversation. Soon Sasami walked in with the tea, giving some to everyone as well as herself.
"So Ryoko, how do you feel?" asked Ayeka, breaking the silence.
"Heart-broken I guess, " replied Ryoko softly.
"Look Ryoko.....I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause what Tenchi did to you."
"Huh, what are you talking about Princess?" Ryoko asked as she looked up at Ayeka.
"If I had just stopped when you had asked, you wouldn't feel so heart- broken. If I had just kept my mouth shut when I should have, Tenchi wouldn't have yelled at you like he did."
"Ayeka, why are you being so nice to me all of a suddenly?"
".....I guess...I guess it was what I saw in your eyes when Tenchi yelled at you. I saw how your eyes teared up because Tenchi was siding with me even though I never said anything yet. Your eyes told me almost everything that you felt just before you phazed away.....I guess what I'm trying to say is that, Tenchi seems to mean so much to you and I respect that. And I want to at least try and be your friend, no matter if Tenchi choses neither of us.....So what do you say?... Friends?"
Ryoko starred at Ayeka almost disbelievingly. But a small smile crept upon her face as she said, "Friends." Ayeka smiled as she took Ryoko's hand in her's and lightly shook it. Everyone around them, except Washu, starred at their friends, shock written about their faces.
"So, you want to talk about everything now?" asked Ayeka, breaking the silence once more.
"Sure, but there's nothing really to talk about. I mean, I was hurt terribly. It felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest when he sad all that. It's like he doesn't care about me at all....."
"That's not true Ryoko," interupted Sasami. Ryoko looked at her questioningly(sp?).
"Yea Ryoko," chimmed in Mihoshi. "He cares about you like you two have known each other all your lives."
"I must agree Ryoko," agreed Ayeka. "I mean sure, I hate to admit it sometimes, but he acts as though he's known you since as long as he could remember. And it may not be as long as it is for you or me Ryoko, but to him, that might seem like a long time."
"Yea, and besides, Ryoko," began Kiyone, "Even if he doesn't, we all do. Remember, we're all family here. You mean just as much to us as he does to you....."
"Especially me, my little Ryoko," said Washu while still holding her daughter close. Ryoko looked up at Washu quizically. "You may be genetically made, but your still my daughter none the less. You're one of the few things I have left in my life. I love you with all my heart little Ryoko. Like any mother would love her daughter. I just want you to remember that Ryoko. And if you ever need me for something, just come ahead and ask, ok?"
~*~ back by Tenchi ~*~ (haha! climax! j/k. keep reading, I'll get back to there eventually. don't worry!)
"I can't find her anywhere," said Tenchi to himself as he entered the living room. "Good thing I have no training today. Other wise I'd get in deeper trouble than I'm already in.....But where can Ryoko be? I've checked the cave. I've checked the Sakura trees, all the Juria trees that are around, the lake, the roof and even her room. So where is she if she isn't at any of those places? ::sigh:: Tenchi thought to himself, thinking of where else Ryoko could be. Then something hit him (not literally). "I know what I can do! At least it's worth a shot anyway. I just hope it'll work. It's better than nothing at all." So Tenchi left to his room, and set out to do what ever it was he was going to do.
~*~ back with the others ~*~
Ryoko looked at her mom, trying hard to fight back her tears as they threatened to fall from her eyes once more. She smiled at her best she could without letting her tears fall. "Thanks...mom! I really needed to hear someone say that to me." Washu was a little shocked as Ryoko leaned in to hug her. She eventually hugged back, now trying to fight back her own tears. After a few moments, the two finally broke away from their hugs, small smiles on their faces. "Well," began Ryoko as her heart began to lift again. "I feel much better. Thanks everyone. I needed that. But right now I want some time to think about something. Alright? Don't think I'm walkin out on you guys or anything..."
"No we understand Ryoko," said Ayeka. "But if you need one of us, you know where we'll be, alright?"
"Alright Princess. I'll make sure to keep that in mind... Well, I gotta go. I'll see you guys later."
Ryoko hugged her mom one last time. "Bye!" she heard everyone say as she phased from the Onsen.
