When Two Destinies Intertwine
Chapter Two
Ryoko's eyes fluttered open. Forgetting where she was she stood up and hit her head on the wall of the ceiling. "Ouch! Huh.what.where am I?" she soon realized that she was on the rafter, where she usually sleeps. She rubbed the lump that was forming on top of her head. She remembered the dream she had. "Was it only a dream?" The events that took place in the dream made no sense to her. She phased through the ceiling to the roof to think more clearly. 'Who was that boy? Why did I feel so close to him in my dream?' Ryoko starred at the stars in the dark night's sky. "Rowen."
****
Rowen sat up in bed. "What a strange dream." 'Was it all just a dream?' He got out of bed and walked to the window. "It felt so real. Too real to just be a dream." He let out a sigh. He looked up at the sky trying to focus on what the dream was about. ' I cant even think straight. I think I need to go get myself a warm glass of milk.' Rowen made his way downstairs quietly, careful not to wake the others. Once he reached the kitchen he opened the refrigerator door and took out a milk carton. He poured the milked in a glass and popped it in the microwave to warm for 30 seconds. He stood there and watched the glass spin around in the microwave.
****
Kento walked downstairs to make himself a midnight snack. He walked as quietly as he could downstairs not wanting to wake Mia up. Mia didn't really like his visits to the kitchen late at night because he would eat up everything that was in the refrigerator, including their morning breakfast. Kento stopped as he saw a figure move in the shadows. 'Who was that? I hope it wasn't Mia on guard of the food. I'm so hungry.' He looked down at his growling stomach. He crept closer toward the kitchen and saw Rowen standing there starring at the microwave as in he were in a trance. "BEEP BEEP" the microwave was done but Rowen was still standing there starring at it. "Hey Rowen." 'What's wrong with him? Its like he cant hear me' "Rowen.?" still no answer. Kento was getting worried. He ran over and grabbed onto Rowen's shirt and started shaking him hard. "Yo Rowen snap out of it. You're scaring me man!"
****
Rowen felt as if the wind was knocked out of him. He started to get dizzy from Kento shaking him. "Kento knock it off. You're making me dizzy." Kento stopped but held onto his shirt. "Are you sure," he asked. "Yes I'm fine. Now will you let go of me?" Rowen snapped. "Hey sorry man. You just had me spooked that's all." Rowen took the glass of milk out of the microwave and held it in both hands. "Yeah, sorry about that Kento. I was just thinking about some stuff." He rotated the glass of milk in his hands back and forth. "So what are you doing up this late Kento? Not trying to sneak a late night snack are you? What would Mia say when she finds out?" he asked playfully hoping to change the subject. "Uh.I uh.couldn't sleep and uh.just thought I come down here to.um.make myself a glass of warm milk. " Kento saw that Rowen wasn't buying his story. He chuckled nervously. Rowen couldn't help but laugh at Kento's uneasiness and decided to let him off the hook. "Don't worry I wont tell Mia. Here since you were about to make yourself some warm milk here." He handed Kento the glass of milk he was holding. But Kento shook his head and said in a hurried voice, "No its okay. I'm gonna to go to bed now. See you in the morning." Then he dashed upstairs in a flash. Rowen looked after him confused. Then he shrugged and drank the milk. He set the empty glass on the counter and went upstairs.
****
In his room, Rowen walked to the window and walked out to the balcony. He leaned over and rested his hands on the rail or the balcony. The image of the girl from his dream keeps flashing through his mind. The emotions that he felt when the image of their passionate kiss flashed though his mind were what kept bothering him. He let out a frustrated sigh. He walked back into his room and dropped onto the bed. He closed his eyes tightly shut. 'Why do I feel this way when I think about her? I don't even know her. She might now even be real. But why did it feel so real?' Rowen let out a frustrated groan. 'Oh I don't know what to think anymore. What's gotten into me?' He turned to his side and closed his eyes. 'I guess I should get some sleep now and not think about anything until tomorrow.'
****
Ryoko sighed as she stood up from the roof' Ryoko floated outside the window to Tenchi's room. She phased into Tenchi's room and stood next to his bed. Tenchi was sleeping peacefully. 'Just when everything in my life was starting to go right. I was just starting to succeed in winning Tenchi's affections and then all of a sudden I have this dream.' Ryoko watched Tenchi as he slept. She loves watching him sleep. Loves how his chest rises and falls as he breathes. "Tenchi." Ryoko held her breath as she realized that Tenchi was slowly waking up. She phased out of the room just as Tenchi's eyes fluttered opened.
**** Tenchi sat up in bed and rubbed sleep from his eyes. He looked at the spot where Ryoko was standing. "Is it just me or did I just see Ryoko standing in my room just a minute ago?" Tenchi stood up and walked across the room and stood by the window. "Maybe it was just my imagination. It couldn't have been Ryoko. She hasn't been in my room for a while now." Tenchi looked up at the stars and sighed. He usually thinks of Ryoko whenever he looks at them. He wondered why she loved the stars so much. Her eyes would always sparkle whenever she gazed up at them and have this dreamy look in her eyes. Tenchi sighed again as he thought of how much Ryoko changed. Whenever he and Ryoko were alone they would talk but not about the things they used to. Ryoko wasn't her routy self anymore. She seemed more fragile.
Ever since she started getting along with Washu, Ryoko hasn't been her usual self. The usual constant attacks she makes on Tenchi had suddenly stopped, she was much quieter during dinnertime, and she was hardly anywhere to be seen. Even her daily fights with Ayeka had decreased. Whenever Ayeka would try to pick a fight with her she would just excuse herself and phase out of the room. And about a week ago Ryoko suddenly brought Yugi back from the sleep they put her in. Ryoko was starting too worry everyone around her except Washu. Tenchi had tried many times to get Washu to tell him what was wrong with Ryoko but all he could get out of her was a "It's nothing to be concerned about."
Tenchi snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a soft knock on his door. The door cracked open a little and Sasami stepped into the room. "Tenchi are you awake?" she asked. "I'm sorry Sasami did I wake you?" Tenchi asked. Sasami shook her head and said, "No I couldn't sleep and then I heard you talking. Who were you talking to?" Tenchi smiled, "Oh I was talking to myself. I didn't notice I was talking so loud." Sasami shook her head again. "it wasn't loud. Its just that its so quiet at this time you can even hear a pin drop." Sasami sighed, "Tenchi, I'm worried about Ryoko." "Everyone is but Washu said its nothing to be concerned about." Tenchi tried to smile to reassure her but it was difficult since he was even more worried about Ryoko. Sasami lowered her gaze to the floor. " I know but I'm still worried. I miss the old Ryoko. Oh Tenchi do you think Ryoko would ever go back to being her normal self again?" Tenchi didn't know what to say, "I don't know Sasami. I guess its up to Ryoko to decide. Only time would tell." "I hope she decides to be herself again," Sasami said as she headed out the room. "I do too Sasami." "Well I'm going back to bed. Night Tenchi." Sasami said in her usual cheering voice. "Night Sasami." Tenchi closed the door just as Sasami walked out and made his way toward his bed. He lay down and tried to piece together all that had happened over the last two weeks. He thought that maybe if he could put two and two together then maybe he'll be able to find out what's wrong with Ryoko.
