TEARS FOR TENCHI

Chapter 1:Some Unwanted Events

The Masaki home was in horrible condition. Crushed beer cans lay all over the floor and bits of food were smashed into the carpet. An unussual scent filled the room. Obviously it was the handiwork of none other than the infamous space pirate Ryoko. A small, plump ball of fur lay in a heap of green carrot leaves on the table. It was Ryoko's pet and space ship Ryo-Ohki. A girl rushed into the room and approached a figure curled in a ball on the couch. "Here you are ,Ms.Ryoko", she panted as she placed a platter of rice balls on the small stand next to the sofa. With a snort Ryoko opened her eyes and stared at the plate. "Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh", she groaned", more food?" She rolled over and fell off the couch. "Oooowwwwww what a hangover." "Maybe you shouldn't have had that last beer, Ms.Ryoko", the girl carefully suggested. "YA THINK SASAMI!!!", yelled Ryoko. She grabbed her head and cried out in pain. She then tried to recall the night. Yes then she remembered. The old man and Tenchi's dad had left on a trip to Tokyo so Ryoko had decided to take over the duties of taking care of the house without exactly asking anyone for permission. The first action she decided to take as self- appointed "caretaker" of the Masaki home was to tie Ayeka and the other girls (except for Sasami because she needed her to cook) to their beds. Afterwards she took it upon herself to clean out all of the cabinets in the kitchen and having Sasami cook it up for her. She also ordered Sasami to empty the carrots in the storage bins and give them to Ryo-Ohki to dispose of. Well one thing lead to another and the next thing you know Ryoko and Ryo-Ohki are laying on the floor unconscouse while Sasami was busy cooking and frying whatever was left of the food. "Wow", Ryoko thought "I haven't had that much fun since the Christmas party"

Tenchi lay in his bed weary and alone. He ached all over and; his hands were irritated by the rope that kept him tied to the bed. With a bit of a struggle he managed to free one hand from the rope and untie the other. He briefly massaged his wrists where the rope had rubbed up against. Then he put some shorts on and snuck downstairs. "That woman is crazy", Tenchi mumbled to himself", she should be put in a psychiatric hospital." "You do really think that Tenchi?", said Ryoko as she teleported right behind him. "Ahhhh", cried Tenchi, "you scared me"

"What are you doing out of bed", Ryoko demanded.

"Trying to escape from you, what else" "Oh, well in that case..." Ryoko gripped the sword that appeared from the jewel on her wrist. She raised it into the air when suddenly a cry from Ayeka's room was heard. Tenchi dashed to the door and Ryoko followed still wielding her sword. "What's going on", Tenchi cried.

"It's Ayeka", shouted Sasami. Tenchi and Ryoko looked and saw Ayeka but it was not entirely her. Half of her body was missing and the rest was slowly disappearing. It was as if shards of her were floating up in the air and just evaporating. Tenchi turned around to Ryoko but was shocked to see her hands and feet were missing too. Sasami was crying in confusion until the strange effects happened to her. Tenchi ran into Washu's lab but she wasn't to be found. Neither was Kyone or Mihoshi. Even Ryo-Ohki was gone. At this point Tenchi didn't know what to do. Everyone in the home had mysteriously disappeared except for him.

Next time on Tears for Tenchi: Tenchi sees a stranger quickly exit his house and knows that something has to be connected with the person and his missing friends. Although when he goes to chase the stranger something very unexpected happens.
