TEARS FOR TENCHI

Chapter 2: Not Quite Japan

Tenchi stood in deep confusion while heavily breathing from all his searching. "What the heck just happened", Tenchi muttered. He leaned against the wall and covered his face with his hands. A loud sigh came from him. Tenchi suddenly looked up as he heard a rustle come from the entrance to his house. A dark figure swiftly exited through the door and to Tenchi's surprise when it left it looked as if it stared at him for a moment. Tenchi grabbed the lighthawk sword and ran after it as fast as his legs could carry him. When Tenchi was outside he could not find the thing anywhere. "Damn it ", he grumbled loudly. "Hhhhmmmmmm." "Wh-wha.", Tenchi stuttered . Before Tenchi could say anything else he saw three lightening-like balls flying towards his head. While shock and fear took over his mind his sword activated causing the balls to ricochet off the blade. When Tenchi recollected himself the figure dashed off. After Tenchi realized this he began to follow. It was amazing how the creature still remained dark and unrecognizable in the daylight. Tenchi aimlessly swung his sword in the direction of the creature but it never hit. Tenchi began to get dizzy and lightheaded from all the running. Just before he and the thing reached the edge of the wood the creature halted. It slowly turned around and acted as if it were pushing some sort of a button under its sleeve. Suddenly great flash came about and Tenchi staggered and fell on the grass. The light completely engulfed the surrounding area. The thing didn't seem to even falter a bit but instead was laughing. Tenchi closed his eyes and breathed deeply until everything....stopped.

Tenchi exhaled and lay his head down on the grass. Finally he raised the courage to open his eyes and noticed he was inside the woods, but not the woods he knew. They were regular looking trees and such but it definitely wasn't the woods surrounding the Masaki shrine and the new location of his home. "This sucks", Tenchi weakly yelled. He slowly got up and looked around. 'How did I get here', Tenchi thought. He walked a short distance then sat on a large root almost shaped like a small bench. He relaxed for a moment. Tenchi couldn't believe all this was happening at once. "Why me?", Tenchi said aloud. Tenchi rose from his seat but as he moved his right foot forward something hard bashed him in the back of his head and he fell face down in the dirt. Then everything went black.
