Chapter 6: ...Good gone bad
Don't forget about me, now. I was still in agony rescuing Aeka from that beam of energy Ryouko threw. I had a couple broken ribs, and blood to replace them. We headed straight to the hospital where I fainted...and woke up to a dark hospital room. A shadow sat at the chair in front of my bed. I was too weak to speak, so I tried to make out the figure. Then I knew. I knew that figure anywhere it was...
Tenchi: Washu?
Washu: Yup.
Tenchi: What's going on?
Washu: I've been waiting for you to get up. I need to get you out of here.
Tenchi: Sure, but how bad are my injuries?
Washu: Broken rib.
Tenchi: I can't escape like this.
Washu: You never let me finish. Drink this.
Tenchi: What is--
Washu: Just drink it!
Tenchi: Ok.
It tasted like water, but it sure made me feel a lot better. And a lot lighter...a little too light to be exact...
**************************************************************************** *************************************
We were flying! Little by little, my rib stopped hurting, like it healed me. When I got to the house, I could walk without limping. Everyone was happy to see and Aeka gave me a kiss on the cheek for my courageous action. Not bad for a pretty scary day. But Ryouko was still gone...but right now they are praising me. So let's continue. After about an hour of fun, I went outside for a breather. Guess who was there. Yup. Ryouko.
Ryouko: I'm sorry about today...
Tenchi: Well, I guess I can't blame you.
Ryouko: I'm gonna have to get over this little by little.
Washu: Ryouko, let's get to the lab.
Ryouko: Sure mom. Night Tenchi...
Tenchi: Night Ryouko.
She teleported to the lab for I don't know what. Then dad came in (yes I know, my dad hasn't been in the whole story) and began to talk to me about my sacrifice that I made that could have taken my life if I wasn't part Jurai. But there was one important part of the conversation that was just a hit in the face.
Noboyuki: You love Aeka, don't you Tenchi?
Tenchi: Yeah...
Noboyuki: So then take it slow...don't rush it or you'll regret it. Trust me...
Tenchi: Gotcha dad. Don't worry.
Noboyuki: That's my boy. Just remember, you're the guy, so you remain in charge of the relationship. I'll see you inside. Just think over it.
I didn't like this at all...but it was what he said so I decided to go with it. After all, he IS my dad...
**************************************************************************** *************************************
**This is a switch to Aeka's view**
Oh, my goodness...I actually kissed him...it was on the cheek but...when did I start doing that? It felt pretty good. I can't wait for a chance to finally kiss him on the lips and have him kiss me back...I can't help thinking about it...
**************************************************************************** *************************************
The next morning wasn't a very good one, well, it started good, but then the mailman came with a telegram from Tokyo. It was for Aeka. I gave it to her while she was eating.
Sasami: Read it!
Aeka: OK, but I have to finish my breakfast.
Noboyuki: Let her finish.
She finished rather quickly. She opened the letter and read the message, her face becoming more depressed...until she finished and ran upstairs.(Please now play Aeka's Theme.)
Tenchi: What did it say?
Noboyuki: Read it.
Tenchi: By order of the Juraian Royal Guard, you, Princess Aeka, are to return to Jurai and resume your position of Princess and not some wanderer wandering the galaxy. You are to be at the airport in exactly two weeks of today. There, you will be transported to a desolate area where your space ship awaits...
I didn't read anymore and just turned away. The rest of the day went bad. Aeka stayed in her room the whole day and never said a word. I was going to lose Aeka. The words and thoughts were tearing me apart. The day ended slowly as the sun set on the horizon and the whole house was silent except for Mihoshi, who was watching T.V., Washu, who hadn't heard the news, and Ryouko, who seemed to have no care in the world (She must have heard the news). But most of the day I tried to put what dad said and what had we found out this morning. The stuff we shared, the times of fun and danger, and the serious moments...then it hit me.
**************************************************************************** *************************************************
I LOVE CLIFFIES!! Ok, so it's mean, but who cares? Summer means end of the story! Then I'll start a new one...look for "Movie 14" in June!
