Chapter 5
*~Friend or Foe~*
------------------
"The silence of Space is unbearable, it never ends.." Ryoko was half asleep, she lay in her
controll chair of Ryo-oki, arms sprawled out and her legs were crossed, her eyes were open
but she was not completly awake. After a few minutes she stirred, and stood to her feet,
"Time to get going Ryo-oki" Ryoko said, as if her battleship was thinking this too, it took
off at a anormously fast pace. Ryoko walked to the edge, where she looked into the darkness
of space, she glanced at her feet and saw the bag of money she managed to steal, she frowned
and kicked the bag to the other side of the ship. Ryoko touched her foread and winced, she
checked her hand for blood, but there was none, she floated into the bathroom and peared
into her mirror. Her forehead had a nasty looking gash on it, the blood had dried already,
Ryoko muttered to herself, "I need a bath." Settling for a shower instead, Ryoko began to
undress, moving slowly she pulled off her shirt and jeans. She moved over to the mirror and
examined her body for any battle marks, but found none. The water was hot and welcoming, she
tugged off her underwear and slid into the shower.
*~*~*
"Tenchi! Are you sure about this?" Washu asked in a soft tone, Tenchi gazed into her eyes
and without any hesitation he said, "Washu, this is the most sure I've ever felt about
anything, we are going to find her.." He looked around nervously, then walked into the
Police Ship that Kiyone had lent them for the trip. Washu, Ayeka, and Kiyone followed after
him. Once inside Kiyone told them all to take a seat, "Come on you three, get settled
it is going to be a long trip." Kiyone said that with a little too much worry in her tone,
that made Tenchi squirm in his seat uncomfertably. Ayeka glanced at him and gave him a
reassuring look, then they were off, off into space, to find Ryoko..
*~*~*
Ry-oki speed by a patroll car, the driver imediatly started to follow them. A screen popped
up inside the ship, the chief was on it and was saying, "Space Pirate Ryoko, we order you
to slow down immediatly or we will open fire!" Ryoko came running from the shower,
shampoo still in her hair, she had no time to dress, she almost slipped as she plopped into
her chair and said,"God damnit Ryo-oki, you better go fast this time girl!" They knocked it
into over drive and the space police took up in the chase. Ryoko's eyes were darting around
looking for the nearest escape route, it seemed like the whole fleet was chasing her. "Okay
Ryo-oki, this is our chance to get away!" Ryoko said as she saw a cluster of Meteorites
float by, she did a quick turn and was hidden behind the Meteorites just before the police
cruisers flew past. Ryoko let out a purely evil laugh then said, "Now we have you! Open
fire Ryo-oki!" Beams of orange and red lights came blasting from her Battleship, they
pierced the Police Ships and blew them to bits in a blink of a eye. Ryoko commanded Ryo-oki
to do a fly by and make sure there were no survivers. There were none, or so she thought.
Ryoko was settling back down in her chair when suddenly a corpse of one of the police
banged into her front shield, it scared her so much she jumped out of her chair. She
looked at the face of the young man, then in disgust turned and headed back to get some
clothes on. She mummbled, "Well so much for a refreshing shower.."
*~*~*
Once they reached Space Kiyone switched her ship into Auto and left her seat to see how
everyone was holding up. She opened the sliding door and peaked in. Washu and Tenchi were
all sitting about, it was completly silent. Then Tenchi cracked one off on purpose,
and just happy for the break in the silence everyone burst into laughter. Ayeka
came back in from the bathroom and immediatly smelled it, she skreached, "Hey someone
farted!" This made things even more funny, for some reason, and everyone laughed
harder. Ayeka's cheeks turned pink and she said, "Well I can't believe you think I did
this!" Washu snorted she was laughing so hard, then Ayeka joined in, and for once they
all forgot their worrys, for now.
