Love That Guides Us
Chapter Four
Madness Makes Its First Move
Dedication: This chapter is dedicated to Kaori. Always there with a smiling face or one that makes us laugh. So kind yet unpredictable, just like the flow of time. Sweet and innocent, but still strong inside.
Ryoko stood in the doorway, speechless.
" Mom? What's wrong with you?"
The Goddess of Chaos just stood up and stared down at her daughter with an emotionless face. Her eyes faded back and forth between red and normal.
" Mom?"
' Kill her.'
The sudden command of a familiar voice caused Washu to lose control. Her eyes burn the color of blood and her skin boiled with power.
" Run! RYOKO!"
The Goddess placed her hands upon her head, trying her best to control her mind.
" But..."
" DO IT! It can't control myself, Ryoko. GO!"
The space pirate hesitated but decided it would be wise to follow her mother's instructions. She grabbed Taro and raced out of the lab, hoping her mother would be all right. An ear-piercing scream shattered Ryoko's hope.
By this time, all of the Masaki Clan had awoken from their peaceful sleep. They had been waiting near the lab when Ryoko barged out. All eyes were on the space pirate as they waited with wavering patience for her to speak.
" Ryoko..." Tenchi whispered.
"Run, all of you go outside!" a young voice called.
They didn't stop to ask who was speaking. Once they were all out the door, the lab exploded.
" WASHU!" Ryoko and Tenchi screamed as tears flowed form their eyes.
" Do not worry, Washu is alright," the voice called out.
" Who are you?" Ryoko searched franticly for the mysterious being.
" We do not have time for small talk," Tsunami stepped forward. " We must help Washu with her fight against Tokimi."
Tenchi's expression turned to one full of worry. He didn't want to lose Washu. No, he had just found his love; he couldn't bear to let her go. That was it! If Washu felt the same way then maybe she wouldn't kill herself.
" Tsunami, leave this to me." Tenchi walked onward through the fire and smoke.
' Washu, I will save you. You will come back to me, won't you? I will not just sit back and watch someone take you away from me!'
Tenchi spotted a figure on the ground and he raced toward it, hoping Washu was alright. The prince lifter her head, begging her to open her emerald eyes. Slowly his wish was granted and the eyes he loved to look into opened.
" Tenchi.sorry.about that.I." her eyes could no longer remain the way they were.
The Jurai Prince watched them close and soon found himself crying as he held his life's treasure close to his heart. A small hand found its way to Tenchi's shoulder. The man looked up to see and young girl that resembled the body he held in his arms.
This new woman had long, spiky blue hair. Strange, the length of hair was the same as Washu's yet the bangs were that of Ryoko and she had to long strands that come down in the front. The blue shade of her hair was a dazzling darkened blue that sparkeled in the fire. What caught Tenchi's eye was the fact that her eyes changed constantly. At one moment her eyes were green, the next, silver, then brown, then blue, and so on. She wore a traditional Japanese kimono, the same color as her hair.
" Do not be afraid, I will not harm you."
" Who."
" I am known as Takara..Takara Mono Hakubi," the young girl spoke.
" Hakubi? You're related to Washu?" the prince was shocked to hear this.
" Yes, my relation will be revealed soon enough. Come, Lord Tenchi, let us return to the others. I shall see what I am able to assist in."
The others waited with a thin patience as the prince and new girl spoke inside the giant fire wall. Their shadows were seen and soon enough, Tenchi walked out of the fire and smoke with the Goddess of Chaos in his arms. Tsunami's eyes were no longer fixed on her sister once she noticed the young woman.
' Is that.."
" Everyone," Tenchi began. " I would like to introduce you to Takara, she was the one who coached us for a few minuets."
One by one, they told the young woman their names. Takara continued to stare and Tsunami. There seemed to be some tension between the two, but what could possibly be causing it?
' Could she be.' Tsunami's thoughts were interrupted by a strange voice.
' Keep that information to yourself please, I don't want the others to know.not just yet.'
The Goddess of nature only nodded. This simple gestured seemed to place a great amount of relief on Takara's shoulders. She turned to Ryoko and stared into her golden eyes. They were about the same height, so it wasn't very difficult for her.
Ryoko shuddered under the heart-piercing stare. Takara's eye's turn the color of silver as she stared at the half goddess. Something didn't seem right, whyt was this girl looking at Ryoko with such a look?
" I'm pleased to meet all of you. I have come here to help the people of Earth defend themselves against Tokimi. Please tell me what is can help you all with."
" Takara?"
The young girl faced the man who spoke to her. She noticed the look of distress in his eyes and knew exactly what to do. Anyone could've seen what the man wished. He wanted his love to be free of the pain she was in. That was something Takara could in fact do.
" Place her on the couch inside, Lord Tenchi. I will heal her in there," and with that, the blue haired mystery vanished.
The others walked inside and found Takara sitting on the couch, waiting for them. Tenchi placed his loved on where Takara instructed and watched as the young one placed her hands in front of her. A strange light was emitted from her hands. The strange white aura surrounded the wounded Goddess of Chaos, slowly taking all of the damage off.
" When only an hour has past, the control Tokimi has set will no longer be alive," Takara stood and began to walk in the destroyed lab.
She had it clear to them that she wished to be left alone. They all listen, well, everyone but Ryoko. As Takara walked deep inside the destroyed lab, Ryoko followed. Takara waited until she was far from the door before she turned around.
" Ryoko, I know you're here, there is no use in hiding from me."
The space pirate appeared form the shadows.
" Tell me who you are," the pirate spoke in a cold tone.
Takara's eyes turned the shade of emerald as she looked into Ryoko's golden orbs.
" Hm, I see only concern for your mother's sake in those eyes. Alright, I will tell you if you promise me you will not speak of this to anyone," Takara's eyes returned to their silver state.
" I promise you."
" Good. I am Takara Mono Hakubi.your sister."
A/N: I decided I did not like the short chapter, so I extended it by adding chapter five to it. For those of you wondering why this sequel does not center around Tenchi and Washu's love..you haven't looked at the story close enough. The main reason Washu conquered her dream was all due to Tenchi's love for her and the love Ryoko had for her mother. Until next Saturday, bye!
