*~Tear Drop of a Space Pirate~*
-----------------------------
~*The Night Before*~
"Stop it Tenchi, why are you standing up for her, why tenchi why!" Ryoko screamed, her face
soaked with hot tears. Tenchi replied camly "Ryoko, please don't make a huge deal of this."
Ryoko stared around the room as if suddenly admiting defeat, then her eyes shifted and she
screamed "Tenchi Ayeka is a lieing bitch-" the rest of what she said could not be made out
because Ryoko had jumped at Ayeka, tearing at her face. Without thinking Tenchi reacted, he
jumped infront of Ayeka and pushed Ryoko with all his might, making her colapse backwards.
Ryoko's eyes softend, and became glazed over, she looked up at Tenchi's face, more tears
filled to the brim of her eyes, she blinked and they spilled out. Tenchi tried to say he was
sorry, but Ryoko had already risen to her feet and fled the room.
~*The Next Day~*
It was a average Sunday evening at the Masaki house, Sasami was preparing a delicous meal
while Mihoshi was "trying" to set the table. As usual Washu was in her lab testing some
"wonderful" new invention of hers. Tenchi and Ayeka were just lazing about, but Ryoko was no
where in sight. Tenchi was relaxing in the hammock on one of the Jurian trees, as he yawned
he manged to mummble "I wonder what Ryoko is up to, its getting dark", Ayeka replied in
disgust, "Oh Tenchi you worry too much, you know how Ryoko can be." Tenchi swung his legs
out of the hammock and started to walk for home, "I guess your right Ayeka, mmm, I can smell
Sasami's seafood gumbo all the way from here!" The two set back along the peacful forest
trail, unaware of the pair of golden eyes watching their every move. Once Tenchi and Ayeka
were safely out of sight Ryoko let out a silent tear of pain, she flew high into the dim
sky to see a better view of her surroundings. Her face lined with tears she flew into the
sunset, feeling forgoten and alone. Meanwhile the whole Masaki family was sitting down to
a table full of steaming food that was making their mouths water. Mihoshi said with that
absent minded tone "Hmm.. I wonder where Ryoko has gotten too, she never misses a good
meal." As if it made no diffrence, everyone started to bury their faces in their plates of
food... Ryoko sat in the dark on a boulder that stood right next to a small creek
that broughtmemorys rushing back."Oh Tenchi, I remember how you brought a smile onto my
face, even when I felt like the whole world was crumbling before my feet. You were always
here for me,waiting, watching me as if I, Ryoko, ment something special to you. It is hard
to think that all those years I was just seen through your eyes as one of the others, not
special in any way. But now I see, you don't need me here any more than any other girl. When
my name comes to your lips you think nothing of it, I'm even starting to wonder if you ever
even wanted me here at all..." Ryoko's face twisted in pain, as if salt had just been rubbed
in her wound of emotions, she let out a cry and rolled into the grass, she spread her legs
and arms and stared into the sky as if it had answers for her. Tears trickled down her face
into her hair and ears. "Tenchi how could you lead me on and then drop me like this, I
thought you were better, but I see my heart has just lead me into another dead end!" She
pulled her body from the ground, and flew away silently. She stopped abruptly, turned her
wet face backtoward the Masaki Shrine, she took a big breath of air and said in a whisper "I
wish you, my Tenchi the best of the years to come, do well without me." She turned fast,
like she could not stand to see one more glimpse of this place and flew away, never to be
heard from again.
