The Adventures of Space Pirate Sasami
Prologue
A/N:I realize that this type story has probably been done before, but I really wanted to explore the fact that Sasami didn't want to be a princess. I'm going to try and fill in spots that were not in the Tenchi Universe series. Also, I am sorry to all Tenchi/Ryoko fans! I promise I will make it up to you! ^.~ Lastly, this chapter is short. It's just the prologue; the other chapters will be longer. Please read and review, I want your opinion!
Disclaimer: Kurai Sakura has all the original pictures of the characters. She is making a shrine to Ryoko and punching holes through Sakuya. Suddenly, everyone from AIC and Pioneer come out behind her! Kurai Sakura desperately tries to hide the pictures, but AIC and Pioneer take them away and leave her crying behind them…awww…
"Fine then! I will leave!" I heard Ryoko slam the door to her room. I sighed. This was the third time in a week that Ryoko and Tenchi had a fight. I silently cried for Ryouko. All those times she had been hurt by Tenchi were not her fault, she had been provoked by Ayeka once again. It wasn't fair.
"Tenchi! You're mean! And I'm not cooking any more meals for you ever again so there!" I scolded him on my way upstairs to Ryoko's room. He just looked at me blankly, like he hadn't done anything wrong.
I bumped into Ryoko, who was exiting her room with a small bag of her very few belongings. I looked up at her, tears in my eyes. I didn't want Ryoko to leave! Next to Ryo-ohki, she was one of my best friends!
"Ryoko, don't leave!" I cried, the tears now streaming down my face.
"I'm sorry kiddo, there's nothing more left for me here…" her voice sounded distant and sad.
"Where will you go?" I asked sadly, wanting to know if she'd be okay wherever she was going.
"Back to the only life I know Sasami…"
I realized what she meant; she was going to be a space pirate again! At least this way I could hear about her in the news and still see her on TV. I could even watch her with…no one. I knew then that there was no one left in this house for me. Ayeka had once been a good friend of mine, but Tenchi had changed her. Now she only seemed to care about Tenchi, and she thought about me less and less. That was understandable though, she was in love. Even though I didn't fully understand love, I did know that sometimes I acted funny around Tenchi when we had first gotten here, when I had a small crush on him. Maybe Ayeka was acting really funny because she was really in love with him. I wasn't sure. All I did know was that I would be lonely without Ryoko and Ryo-ohki to keep me company.
"I-I'm going to come with you then!" I shouted, trying to sound brave.
"Sasami, you know I couldn't do that. You're the second princess of Jurai, you should stay here with your sister."
"I don't want to stay with my sister anymore! All she does is ignore me! At least you and Ryo-ohki talk to me sometimes! You're my only friends! Ryoko please let me come! I promise I will help you out, and even cook for you if you like! Please? I don't want to be a princess anymore!"
"Alright kiddo, go pack your bags quickly, and don't let your sister know!"
"Yay!" I shouted as I ran to pack! Not only do I get to stay with my friends, but I also get to live a life of adventures…as Space Pirate Sasami!
As I packed my bags, I wondered what kind of adventures we would go on. Maybe we would rob a space market, so that I could make miso soup wit carrots for Ryo-ohki! That would be so much fun!
I stuffed the last object in my bag, which was a jeweled brush mother had given me, and ran downstairs. I snuck through the kitchen to avoid the living room and into the hallway where the front door was.
At last I was outside. I looked around for Ryoko and Ryo-ohki when I saw Yosho. He looked at me sternly, "Come back soon Sasami, your sister will miss you."
I inwardly sighed. He was right, and I would miss her too, but I knew in my heart that traveling with Ryoko would be the best thing for me.
"I will try Yosho, please don't tell Ayeka that I've left though!"
Yosho nodded and I ran towards the lake where Ryo-ohki, in ship form, awaited me.
