As the Masaki's prepare to journey to Jurai Ayeka ,Ryoko and Washu have to deal with their Dark Memories!
Chapter# 12: Dark Memories before the Journey!
Morning wake up call
One of the things that Tenchi enjoyed doing every morning since he,
Ryoko and Ayeka had started to sleep together was the ways he woke them
up. He kept thinking of differing and unique ways to wake each one of them
up.
Yesterday it was licking the nape of Ayeka's neck, who then woke up
with an interesting expression on her face.
Somewhere between, surprise and hilarity. After he got her out of bed,
he repeated the procedure with Ryoko and had a quiet make-out session until
Ayeka came back from the bathroom and finally got them out bed.
This morning Tenchi was sucking on Ryoko earlobe. And with some slight giggles Ryoko finally awoke and after a quick kiss, phased out of the room. Tenchi then started on Ayeka's earlobes, and their make-out session lasted about as long as Tenchi's and Ryoko's the day before. Tenchi did this every morening so he and the girls remind themselves of their love and affection for each other. But, today the lightness and happiness they had shared would change.

Doctor's Arrival
Doctor Tojiro Akiyama, noted Psychologist, practicing on the Jurai Home
planet, and for the last 3000 years,
the Royal Family's personal Psychologist.
Plus, he is a friend of Washu, graduating in her class at the Galactic
Science Academy.
So, with that positive backing, he arrived that morning to set up the
specific treatment he had been asked to start,
first with Ayeka and Ryoko, then Tenchi (Due to the Bond he had with
the girls)
and also bringing in Washu for treatment of mental and emotional abuse
as she was a captive witness
to her daughter's abuse and manipulation's at the hands of Kagato.
Dr. Akiyama's main plan was simple, though he knew it would take most
of the Masaki's Trip to Jurai.
He would schedule the sessions to work around their Jurai edict classes.
Which would mean morning therapy sessions, then after lunch the Edict
classes.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Their first session
As Dr. Akiyama invited the two girls into the makeshift office that
was a guest bedroom, he sked Ayeka and Ryoko to take seats that were facing
him with a coffee table with some juice and snakcs for them to unch on
as they started the session.
The doctor had given the girls a review of how They would first deal
with what the girls remembered first Ayeka since she had the most recent
trauma. But the doctor knew that Ryoko's problems would take both Ayeka
and Tenchi being there with her to have the support she would need to deal
with the horrible memories.
"Ayeka, can I call you that since these are informal sessions." The
doctor asked. Ayeka simply and silently nodded.
He continued,"All right, can you tell me what you recall happened between
the time Lord Garyu attacked
and you realized that you ...hurt Ryoko and Tenchi.?"
When I saw those light swords running through their bodies and I couldn;t
do a thing, I was yelling in my head crying to tell them I didn't mean
to do this. I wanted soo much to killmyself so they would not go through
what happened." She was now sobbing laying her head on Ryoko's shoulder
as her coFiance was holding her with a few tear streaks o her face as well.
"Ayeka, We heard you then and there. I, and Tenchi knew you would never
intentionally hurt us,
but we were in pain and that's why we asked why. Not really
for you as it simply was a statement of fact."
Ryoko stopped talking and hugged Ayeka more.
Ryoko, It is hard to forgive myself. I still see the looks on your faces
as those swords went through you.
I can never ever see that leave my memories,...never!" Ayeka was sobbing
freely now wth Ryoko hugging and crying as well.
The doctor after observing this then suggested;
" Ryoko, can you help Ayeka in how you deal with the things you had
to witness your body do to all those countless people and planets you had
destroyed?"
Ryoko froze at his suggestion, as the realization of her horrible memories
flooded her mind,
and with the link Ayeka's ,... and Tenchi's.
Tenchi dropped what he was doing and rushed to the cabin where the
session was going on.
As he burst in he saw both his fiance's crying and a calm a sedate
Doctor Akiyama.
"You Highness, thank you for joining us." was all the stoic Doctor
said.
After a 10 second calming excersize, Tenchi gathered both of the girls
into a hug ans for the next few minutes the only noise heard were the whimpering
and crying of Ryoko and Ayeka with some comforting words from their love,
Tenchi.

Dealing with the Darkness
After the Girls calmed down, the Doctor then cleared his throat and
then gave them a diagnosis of ther trauma.
Both of you are suffering through differing degrees of being helpess
victims, as well as tools of madmen.
That in itself is had enough but then to have those innocents (Looking
at Ryoko)
and those whom you love (Looking at Ayeka) die in front of you is going
to be very hard to deal with."
He paused as his words sunk in. "But, it can be dealt with. I asked
Washu to set up a simulator in one of her sub-space labs where you can
fight the two who caused you the most harm. Plus you can relive the tramatic
memories," The girls cringed at this!
"And instead of reliving that horror, you can help them instead, you
cen even do this together to work through the memories.
Ayeka, then Techi Knew that what the Docotr was saying was meant for
Ryoko more that Ayeka.
They both now understood that for the next few months, they would help
Ryoko relive and work out her memories.
They would be there for her as she Instead of killing innocent men
women and children,
would instead save them from Kagato.
The Doctor then took a controller from his pocket and with the push
of a button,
they ended up in the room he mentioned.
For the next few hours There were battled fought back 500 years,
to just last month with Kagato being the main antaginost, and Garyu
as well.
And though this was just the first session, Both Ayeka and Ryoko came
out with smiles
on their faces as they had vanquished their hated puppet masters and
help to rescue those.
Even though they knew those victims =did not really survive it let
Ayeka,
and more to the point Ryoko fight their inner demons,...and win!
Ayeka had other conflicts whch she death with as well.
Thoughout each session Tenchi and Dr. Akiyama were there for moral
and safety support.
After about 10 sessions, bith girls had worked most of their aggressive
thoughts out and other than a monthly session with the Doctor over Washu's
Comm system, they had become much better adjusted to their memories, and
lokked forward to their future With Tenchi and their children to come.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Washu's sessions
With Ryoko and Ayeka dealing with their problem memories, it was Washu's
turn.
Dr. Akiyama had called her and Yousho together to her first session.
Now the Doctor knew as every Docotr knew that Doctors themselves are
the worst patients.
Washu with her ego would make it a hard taks for Dr. Akiyama to deal
with.
As Washu and Yousho (both in their true forms) sat down in the same
chairs
Ryoko and Ayeka had been when their session started their sessions.
As Washu held Yousho's hand, the Doctor spoke.
"Professor Washu, I'll get right to the point, We need to deal with
what you experienced while trapped on the Souja's
under Kagato's control." Washu who normally would have been very boisterous,
and craved evryone's attention,
was instead sitting meekly, quietly, and holding onto Yousho's hand
with a vise grip.
"Washu, It's Tojiro, you classmate, ... and friend, I have heard enough
from Ryoko to imagine the suffering you went through.
I also know you were even more helpless since you were trapped in thet
crystal in the negative side of the ship."
Washu let out a sight, then composed herself as she finally spokein
a quiet meek voice;
"I sure did have a up close and personal view of what Kagato forced
my daughter to do."
Don't you feel giult in that you couldn't do anything to help her"
asked Dr. Akiyama. Washu then started shedding some silent tears with
Yousho still firmly gripping her hand she answered,
LOUDLY!
OF COURSE I FEEL GIULTY, HE... He... TOOK MY LITTLE GIRL, MY BEAUTIFUL
GIRL... he took her and wiped her memories of me and our happy life together,
of her classmates in school, of our friends at the academy, all gone.
And to top it off He them made her into a perfect killing machine,
with no emotions, no regard for life, yet I could feel her anguish at having
to see herself kill and maim countless people, and then when he made her
implode planets, it was the ultimate betrayal, because she could have killed
him with a 10th of her power, yet his control was so thorough, she wouldn't
have an inkling that she could have done that. And I COULDN'T DO A THING!"
She then broke down in Yousho's arms and cryed nonstop for about 10
minutes, then after she calmed down,
Dr. Akiyama spoke to her."Washu, now you have the chance not only to
bring in a new life with the man you love,
but you get to have that life back with Ryoko. Can't you see that?"
But, I couldn;t be amother to her now, too much as passed between us,
and I..."
"BULLSHIT! You are denying a chance to be close to her and to her spouses,
don;t blow a chance like that Washu."
Dr. Akiyama answered.
"You have a man who loves, you, a family who loves you,... a daughter
who needs you, you need to take this and run with it.
Be that mother to her that she vaguely remembers, or at the very least
her friend, and her confidant."
"But, but she'll have Ayeka for that." Washu said shakily.
"You know you can have ore than one best friend Washu, so try for them,
for Yuosho and you baby, for Ryoko,
but most of all try for yourself, It will get better Washu" said Dr.
Akiyama.
Slowly a smile krept up Washu's face, she stopped crying, and slowly let go of Yousho (Except his hand) and slowly understood all that Tojiro had told her, it was sinking in,. and it slowly dawned on her that she would have to be a mother now, for her unborn baby in her belly. She patted her stomach and smiled at Yousho. Wordlessly they got up nodded a goodbye to Tojiro and left the session.
Washu's sessions were shorted and it took less time for her to deal
with her dark memories as the other had.
So, when it came time to leave only the girls had to see the Doctor
through the trip. Now every 3 months for the next few years Washu visited
with Dr. Akiyama for some informal sessions, but with her focus on
the now, and not then.
She was going to be a Mom again, get married to the man she loved,
and finally have a relationship with not just one daughter but a daughter
and son-in-law as well.
This proved to be the turning point in Washu's mind.
Now as the sessions died down everyone was exouted of the trip to Jurai,
though due to the time in their pregnancy,
there are more than just the events of a trip involved, but certain
cravings that all four girls will experience while on board!

A place in space out of time
"D3, how goes our observation of my sister's family?" asked a rather stoic Lady Tokimi, Goddess of Justice,and Truth, but also called the Goddess of Darkness.
"Milady, all is as according to plan, You sister and her young are going
through counseling
for their trauma's while our agent id getting closer to you other sister's
avatar." D3 answered.
"I am glad I didn't lower myself to these mortal's levels, to experience
that type of emotional pain is a wasted effort.
Now what of the plan, is it coming together?" asked Tokimi
"Yes Milady, everything ids as it should be, though I have some reservations
as
to whom we have entrusted this mission to." said a concerned D3.
"Then for your concerns keep an eye on him, and if you feel he has overstepped
his mission objectives, then tell me.
Understood?" said a now confidant Tokimi.
"By all means Milady" and D3 dissappear.
Soon sister's the future will be here, and I hope you are ready for it.
A dark set of eyes looked on a view screen as the Masaki clan was loading
their ship for the trip to Jurai.
The dark figure said to himself; "We'll see if they reach Jurai in
pieces, ...or at all!
