The Visitor- chapter 4

Author's Note: This is my first Tenchi fic, so here's how things will be, in Tenchi Muyo, Washu turned out to be Ryoko's mom, so I'm sticking with that. As for Keyone and Mihoshi, they live in the house with the group as well, and not in an apartment.

Disclaimer: I don't own Tenchi or the characters. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*

"Your mom sounds like she's a great person." Said Sasami that night as the girls got ready for bed. Kyoko nodded as she pulled on her nightshirt Washu lent to her.

"My mom is the best. She always bought me stuff and she can fly!" she informed. Aeka stopped brushing her hair and looked at the girl in shock. "When I was a little baby, she would take me flying around on her back and in her arms and she's teaching me how to use my energy sword."

"What about your father Kyoko? Is he still alive?" asked Keyone and Kyoko nodded her head.

"My dad is a warrior." She said and they all seemed a bit curios as the girl explained her family, but didn't give too much out. "My parents are the best. My grandma use to be a princess. but she died before I could meet her." Kyoko informed.

"Kyoko, do you think your parents might miss you?" asked Ryoko curiously. Kyoko blushed a bit.

"My mom and dad sent me here. Well not here, but I kinda got lost and something made me think this would be the right place to go." She answered. Aeka then cleared her throat.

"Kyoko. we have reason to believe you could be from the future. But the thing is, you haven't really showed any real reason for being here." Said the princess. Kyoko's eyes went wide.

"I can't tell why I'm here. Cuz there's no real reason."

"You just came for fun." She informed. Everyone looked at her in confusion.

"For fun. does your mom know this." Keyone began, but Ryoko stepped in.

"Why don't you guys back off her. She's here because she wants to and I have the mpost respect in her personal reasons for being here, so lets leave it there." She said. Everyone had listen since Ryoko wasn't one to trust someone from the beginning and they didn't want to get on her bad side.

"I agree with Ryoko. She's just a kid. What damage could she do?" asked Sasami brightly and Kyoko grinned, her brown eyes shinning. Ryoko looked down at her. Why did this little girl remind her of Tenchi when she smiled?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tenchi knew that there would be times when strange things would happen around his house, especially since the girls had arrived, but this was different. She wasn't created like Mayuka or a shadow like Sakuya had been. She was REAL and his daughter from the future. How many years, he didn't know, but he now knew what was coming his way and with this new knowledge, he could also tell the girl was his. Her eyes were his. There was a knock on the door and he opened it to see Kyoko standing there with her blanket and a pillow.

"Something wrong?" he asked.

"I had a nightmare and I can't find Washu or Ryoko." She said in between sniffles. Tenchi smiled and opened the door further, picking her up into his arms.

"Now there are other girls in there. Couldn't you have told one of them?" he asked gently. Kyoko nodded her head slowly.

"But I didn't want to. and I could find grandpa or Noboyuki." She informed. Tenchi nodded and sighed, looking over at his bed.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt if you slept here tonight." She looked up at him thankfully and Tenchi sat her in the bed. He looked at her for a second, then climbed in bed as well. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"SHE"S MISSING!" announced Washu the next morning. Tenchi came walking out of the kitchen with a glass of tea in his hand to see all the girls tearing his house apart in a desperate search.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Kyoko is gone." Said Mihoshi, her eyes filling with sudden tears. Tenchi let out a soft laugh.

"Relax, she's sleep in my room."

"No she's not." Said Ryoko, who was now coming down the stair with Kyoko's blanket torn in her hands. Tenchi's eyes went wide. "She's. missing as in kidnapped."

"But who could have done this?" asked Aeka and Sasami began to cry. Ryoko went and looked out the window to see Noboyuki hopping in their direction, his arms and legs tied up and gagged.

"DAD!" Tenchi announced, running outside to untie him.

"Can you believe it! I can't even go outside my own house without having someone try to pick pocket me!" he yelled and Ryoko grabbed him by the front of his shirt, lifting him off the ground.

"Where's Kyoko?" she asked.

"I don't know. We were going to go get a watermelon together and some wierdo came out of no where and kidnapped her!" informed Noboyuki. Ryoko dropped him and turned to Ryo-oki.

"Lets get going Ryo-oki." She said, and they ran outside. Tenchi ran after her.

"Ryoko, I'm going with you." He said. Ryoko looked at him with a serious look.

"I can d othis on my own." She said. Aeka came up to Tenchi's side, followed by the others, Mihoshi nad Keyone now in the galaxy police uniforms.

"We all care about her Ryoko, and we're all going to save her from who ever it is took her." Said Washu. Ryoko let a smal smile slip.

"Alright, but you had better not get in my way."
