Chapter 3:A undying shadow in the world of lights
A laugh was heard through the halls, a laugh that was filled with horrors. Guards ran towards the
hall towards their goal and target. The halls was filled with explosion and smoke, bodies down on the
floor. A man floated forward towards the throne room, his figure in shadows, his dark black sword still in
his hand that was stained with blood. In the communication room a solider was trying to call for help and
got no response, his only response was a dark energy sword pierced from his back towards his heart. Once
Kagato was in the halls that lead towards the throne room he came to a sudden stop knowing that
something, or better yet someone was going to attack him. A few seconds later a attack came to him but
he was ready, he raised his sword in to a defense but instead of defense, he reflected the attack back
towards the attacker. Once the blast hit the attacker Kagato grinned.
"Ah. A loyal knight of Juri, so we meet again."
Another attack came towards him and it was also reflected. The blast hit another one and Kagato laughed.
"So I was wondering where the other one was. But why are you both here when your suppose to be
protecting the boy from any......danger."
"Lord Tenchi has the power to defeat you, and you will stand no more!"
"That's right, as knights of Juri we will never let you commit your evil deeds!"
Kagato walked on the floor towards the knights Azaka and Kamadaki. He threw his cloak towards the
side and it vanished into thin air. The tip of his sword points at the two knights.
"So you want to test me. You will see that the victor will be me and you both will fall."
"We'll fight to the death before we accept defeat."
Azaka and Kamadaki and Kagato ran towards each other to commence a battle. A powerful blast was
heard and smoke filled the area.
It was night and it was almost time to sleep. Ryoko was on the roof looking at the stars. Each star burning
bright in the night sky. Each star she gazed at was reflected in her eyes and in her eyes the stars sparkled.
It was a peaceful night, and quiet too. Then she began to sing....
Miagereba ikusen ni
Kagayaita hoshi-tachi wa
Itsu no hi mo kawarazu ni mitsumete 'ru
Ore-tachi no koto wo
Hontou no yasashisa wo
Omou tabi mayou no wa
Kizutsuita anata no chikara ni naritai kara da ne
Kanashii toki ya sabishii toki
Boku wa itsu demo soba ni iru
Sore demo boku wa anata no itami wo
Kawatte agerare wa shinai
(translation at bottom)
Then Tenchi came up at the roof top, apparently Ryoko was a bit occupied to even notice Tenchi was up
there with her. She continued to sing......
Miagereba ikusen ni
Kagayaita hoshi-tachi no
Manazashi ga eien no yasashisa kamo shirenai ne
Kono hoshi de boku-tachi ga
Meguriau guuzen wa
Ashita e no tobira wo akehanatsu yuuki ni naru ne
(translation at bottom)
Tenchi smiled and walked up to the woman.
"Hey Ryoko!"
Ryoko nearly jumped of the boy's sudden greeting. She looked at Tenchi and then sat up. Her eyes went
back to gaze towards the star filled night sky.
"You know, in Tokyo you don't see much stars. The city lights always drove it away. Too bad that the
people in the city won't know the night sky as it truly is."
"Yea, I know."
"Oh yea, by the way what were you singing?"
Ryoko turned her gaze from the stars towards Tench's eyes.
"I don't know, somehow I just started to sing out of nowhere."
"It sounds........beautiful."
"Hm....thanks"
Ryoko turned back towards the stars but Tenchi's gaze was still laid upon Ryoko, a woman he knows that
he loves.
"Uh....Ryoko..."
"Hm?"
"Well....uh....errr....."
"What is it Tenchi?"
"Well you see......I....uh.....errr...."
"Well?"
Tenchi keep stumbling at the words, in his head it was so much easier to say the words 'I love you, Ryoko'
but when it came to the real deal, Tenchi just stumbles. 'Oh man, never thought I would have trouble
doing this. Were finally alone under the stars and I can't say what I want to say. This always happen to
me! Well here goes....' Tenchi summoned all courage his up to say the words...
"Well....Ryoko I.....I"
"You what Tenchi?"
"Well...you see....Ryoko....I...I....."
Tenchi let out a sigh and let it all out with help from his courage.
"Ryoko I-"
"Tenchi!!!!"
Sasami climbed up the latter and came to the roof and looked at Tenchi.
"Tenchi, come on it's time to go to sleep. You won't have breakfast because you know how Mihoshi gets
when she's hungry."
Tenchi looked at the girl and them smiled.
"Ok, ok I'll go to sleep." Tenchi turns to Ryoko "Well goodnight Ryoko."
"Night Tenchi."
Tenchi climbed down the latter but Sasami stayed up with Ryoko for a while.
"You know Ryoko, you should get some sleep as well. You've been here ever since dinner finished.Is
something in your mind?"
"Not really."
"Not really? I know what's in your mind....better yet I know what's in your heart!"
The little girl giggled and Ryoko laughed along with her.
"Guess you do huh?"
"YEP! Well I see you tomrrow morning, good night Ryoko."
"Yea."
Sasami climbed down and ran inside the house towards her room. Then again Sasami shares a room with
her sister Aeka. Back at the roof top Ryoko still gazed at the stars and continued to sing...
Mou sugu asa ga otozuretara
Hoshi wa mienaku naru keredo
Yami no naka demo Hikari no naka demo
Shizuka ni mirai wo matte iru
(translation at bottom)
Kagato's sword made a powerful blast that the two knights flew back. Both Azaka and Kamadaki were
wounded...badly. Kagato floated towards them.
"The mighty knights of Juri as fallen....if you do a simple erran for me, I could spare both of your lives..."
Azaka tried to stand up only using one hand on his weapon, because his other arm was slashed off by the
blade of Kagato's sword....that was still bathing in the blood of the two knights.
"We refuse to take part of a sinful plan!"
Kagato laugh at such a stupid comment.
"You fool. You know that in truth, it's easy to forget what a sin is. Your parner over there is almost dead
after what I did to him....using the Juri power modified by the dark powers of the universe."
Azaka turned to his comrade and saw him on the floor unmoving. Then his look turned back to Kagato.
"And then there is only one little knight left....all.....alone."
Kagato advanced foreward and the halls were once again filled with a scream, and then drew silence. The
laugh of Kagato was heard through out the halls of the palace. Once Kagato got to the throne room, he
stared at the spot where Tenchi had defeated him. The image played back in his mind over and over
again, Tenchi standing victorious holding Yosho's sword. Kagato's sword disappered in his hand and put
back on his cloak. His hands formed a fist and began shaking, fingernails buried deep within his skin deep
enough to make a cut, and it did blood dripped from the plam of his hands towards the floor. Drip, drip,
drip. As each drop of blood hit the floor Kagato imaged that it was Tenchi's blood, and a grin appered on
his face.
Ryoko's gazed stood steadily at the stars as if she was looking for something, something important,
something that when she finds it, it will bring her happiness. She sighed.
"Guess I better sleep too."
Ryoko stood up still looking at the stars and she smiled. She closed her eyes and had an image of her
happiness, herself and Tenchi. As she started to walk towards the ledge of the roof she bumped into
someone. She opened her eyes...
"Hey, what's the big......idea...."
The shadowed form laughed and attacked Ryoko, she let out a painful scream. The shadowed form
attacked again and again, the last attack hit it's target knocking her unconscious. Before she saw darkness
her last word came out.....
"Tenchi....."
"RYOKO!"
Tenchi's hands flew forward as if he was reaching out for something. Tenchi woke up covered in sweat
and he looked at his clock.
"It's been 1 hour since I went to sleep."
Tenchi rubbed his forehead, he closed his eyes shut as tightly as he can. Not knowing about what he saw.
His eyes opened and he opened the blinds of his window, he looked carefuly at the stars and his eyes
squinted.
"Was that real, or was it just a dream?"

Hehehehehehe good way to end a chapter eh?
Iam so evil....well anyways no omake today....since the idiot went out of town for the next 3 days.
Oh yea, I almost forgot about the translation, well here it is.....
If you look up thousands
Of shining stars
Ever unchanging, gaze
At us
When you are lost
Think of true kindness
For if you are hurt they want to be your strength
Whether be it sad times or lonely times
I'll be at your side
But I cannot
Take the place of your pains for you
If you look up perhaps
The gaze of the thousands of shining stars
Is everlasting gentleness
Here on this planet
Our chance encounter
Becomes the courage to open the door to tomorrow
When morning comes
The stars cease to be seen but
In darkness or in light
They silently wait for the future
Well there you go, the translations. To tell you the truth I got the song from Gundam Wing.
It's one of Quatre's image songs. Wanna know something else, well if you don't know it already the
japanese seiyuu for Ryoko is Ai Orikasa and Quatre's japanese seiyuu is Ai Orikasa, again.....cool eh?
If I misspelled one of the knight's name say so in the review so I could correct it in future chapters.
REMEMBER: REVIEWING is a GOOD WAY to show the author that someone READS their story.
blah, well you get the idea. Also I don't own the song that's in this chapter.
