Vy: Wow, another one already. My hands are getting kinda tired though from writing so much. I am going to warn you ahead of time, if you are the type to cry easily, you might want to have a Kleenex handy for the next couple of chapters
Yuri: *rolls eyes* Please.
Vy: I hope this makes a good emotional impact. Well, while ya'll are reading this chapter, I will be working on the next!
Chapter 5: Walking Away
"November Rain" by Guns 'n' Roses
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
They had been together for a while now. When she looked deep in Tenchi's eyes. She could see all the love he had for her.
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
She loved him with all of her heart, but...
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
What was she supposed to tell him? Nothing, she would tell him nothing.
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
It had to be done because he could... he might... Ryoko didn't want to think of the harsh words spoken by her.
We've been through this a long long time
Just trying to kill the pain
Ryoko was told those words that caused such pain multiple times by the same person. The hurt was too great.
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
Ryoko looked at the clock, 1:30 in the morning. She looked over at Tenchi, then got up out of bed. She stood in the doorway for a minute to look at her true love. "I love you, Tenchi," she whispered as she turned and walked out.
If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
Should she have talked with him first? No, this way was the best way.
So if you want to love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain
The soft moonlight gave Ryoko a sad glow. It was as if the moon knew what was going on. Ryoko tried to fight back tears.
Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Questions raced through her mind and the tears began to pour down her cheeks.
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need sometime...all alone
Alone. She was now alone, and so was Tenchi. Ryoko fell to her knees and put her hands over her face as she sobbed out loud.
"I'm so sorry Tenchi!" she cried out.
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
"He'll be fine with time," she thought to herself.
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you
"Tenchi is a wonderful person. Someone will fall in love with him, and so he shall fall in love again, too," The thought of him loving another made her cry harder.
Sometimes I need some time...on my own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Ryoko continued walking, not sure of where to go.
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
"Forget me, Tenchi," she thought, "How could it work out?"
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love again
When there's no one left to blame
Clouds over took the sky and the moonlight died away. As tears continued to streak her face, tiny raindrops began to fall.
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothing last forever
Even cold November rain
She knew everything would work out the way it should. All she wanted was some small sign as to how things would be ok. She continued to walk through the drizzle, knowing she had to hurry and find shelter before the rain came down harder.
Don't you think that you need somebody
Don't you think that you need someone
Rays of sunlight started to peek thorugh TEnchi's window blinds as the sun rose. He looked over to see his wonderful love.
"Ryoko?" He said out loud as he saw an empty spot beside him.
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Tenchi ran out of his room, searching everywhere.
"Ryoko?!" He dropped to his knees in the middle of the living room. "She can't be gone,"
Vy: Sad? Hope so. *hears a slight sniffle* Yuri?
Yuri: What? My nose isn't working.
Vy: Mm hmm. Pretty please review!! I have the next chapter finished, but my poor hands are worn out, so I will posted it a little later. See you then.
