A Life Fulfilled
Chapter 15
Darkness Looms Overhead
Tenchi turned to see the man Washu called Mikamo. It was him, her husband, he was back after so many thousands of years, but...why? Seeing the joy and longing in Washu's eyes, he released her from his embrace and allowed her to run to him.
Washu felt Tenchi's arms fall off of her waist. What's he doing? Washu looked up at the Jurian only to see him smile. With a simple nod of his head, Washu knew what Tenchi was trying to tell her: It's okay, you can go to him. The scientist placed a loving smile on her face before she raced to hold her husband for the first time in almost 20,000 years.
" Mikamo!" the girl cried as she wrapped her arms around the man's neck.
" Reunited at last," Mikamo placed his hands on the young women's waist and lifted her in the air, spinning her around.
" Mother?" a voice called.
Ryoko turned her head at the sound of a newcomer. He had pure blond hair and enchanting emerald eyes, the emerald eyes that belonged to her mother. Was this Mikumo?
Washu gasped at looked ahead to see a very familiar face, " Mikumo.is it really you?"
Mikamo let his wife place her feet on the ground once more and walk toward her son. The figure in the shadows crept closer, examining the women's face. He saw a beautiful, young women with reddish pink hair, and such amazing emerald eyes. When the boy's gaze fall upon her eyes, he knew it was her..his mother. Those eyes..her eyes, were also his.
" Mother!" Mikumo raced forward and pulled Washu into a warm embrace.
" Oh God, I can't believe this is really happening!" Washu let tears of joy fall from her eyes.
" I've waited for the day that I might see your face. Mother, we have finally met."
Tenchi stared at the ground, the pain of loss biting at his soul. Trying not to run, he slowly walks away, leaving Washu alone with her family. Ryoko spots the prince leaving and decides she should follow him, just in case he breaks down and needs a shoulder to cry on.
Washu lets her son go and turns to see Mikamo staring into her eyes with such a loving expression. He placed a hand on her face and brought her lips to his. The kiss ended shortly after it started. Washu pulled away and turned to see where Tenchi was standing was now empty. Where did he go?
Ryoko teleported behind the Jurian prince and Tenchi turned his head to see the women who was following him. Making it back to the house, Tenchi ran up to his room and slammed the door, unaware of the fact that Ryoko was already inside. He smashed his hand against the back of the door and allowed the tears to fall freely. Ryoko placed a hand on his shoulder, looking into his eyes with an expression that read only concern and understanding. The pirate wrapped her arms around the crying boy and Tenchi hugged her back, crying on her shoulder, letting the pain of losing Washu take over his mind.
Talking could be heard coming from downstairs and Ryoko could only guess that Washu was introducing Mikamo and Mikumo to everyone in the household. There she was, downstairs, laughing her little head off while her daughter held a crying Tenchi in her arms. Ryoko opened the link and hatred toward her mother's actions filled Washu's head.
The scientist dropped the cup she was holding and let it shatter into pieces on the floor. Mikamo stared at her with a look of confusion and concern. Why did she do that? What happened?
" M..may I be excused?" Washu stuttered before darting upstairs.
Finding it best to contact Ryoko before entering Tenchi's room, Washu spoke through the link she had with her daughter.
* Ryoko, honey, what's wrong?*
* Oh, I dunno, I'm only holding the man you confessed your love to and letting him cry on my shoulder when it should really be you who's doing this!*
Washu fell silent.
* Well?! Don't you even care, Washu?!*
* Why?*
* Why what?*
* Why is he crying?*
* Because he thinks you don't love him anymore!*
The link was suddenly blocked by the pirate's mother and the sound of paper being pushed under Tenchi's door was heard. The Jurian lifted the paper in his hands and let a sob escape his throat when he saw what had been written on it.
It was a picture of a crab with hearts surrounding it. At the bottom of the page was writing done by the artist of the picture.
' I will always love you, no matter what. I told you, I would stay with you forever and I meant it. Please forgive me if I hurt you in any way. I love you!' -Little Washu
Tenchi threw open the door but Washu had already left. He looked to see if she was downstairs, not a sign of Washu, Mikamo, or Mikumo. He figured she wanted to spend time with her family, so Tenchi walked back to his room to thank Ryoko.
Family time was all Washu wanted but Mikamo had other ideas. The scientist sat down on her floating, purple cushion and began typing. She brought Taro into the room and stared at the screen in front of her. Her son watched in wonder as Washu showed her family what had happened in her life after they left. They learned about Ryoko, Kagato, Tenchi, everything and everybody Washu held dear. A smile formed on the scientist's face when she saw Tenchi's picture show up on the screen.
Outside of the lab, in the living room of the Masaki house, Ayeka started to plot a little scheme of her own. Tenchi must be upset that Washu's husband has returned. He knows how much she loves him, and I guess he must feel terrible after losing her. Now was her chance and if everything turned out as planned, Tenchi would be hers. Ayeka's thoughts flowed back to the talk she had with Washu when Tenchi's love for the scientist was still a secret.
~ " If Tenchi doesn't feel the way we think he does, it's back to normal!"~
' Well, things didn't turn out as anticipated..and now he's mine for the taking.'
A devilish smile forms on Mikamo's face.
' Washu, now that I'm back, you're mine. I won't let that boy take you from me.'
Dark clouds are forming quickly over the heads of both Washu Hakubi and Tenchi Masaki. The return of her husband has caused a great dilemma for Washu. Will she stay with Tenchi and start life anew, or will she go back with Mikamo and live her old life? Only love can pull them out of such a terrible situation. Yet, they are completely unaware of what two of their loved ones have in store for them. Washu types away in her lab, Tenchi holds the picture from Washu to his heart, neither are aware of anything.
