Chapter 2
"Oh where to begin…" says Tenchi. Should I tell her about the dreams I have been having, he thinks. No, they are mean absolutely nothing to my sickness… or do they? "Well Washu-San, I have been having these incredible stupid dreams. I am sure they mean nothing though."
"What have these dreams been about Lord Tenchi?" Washu starts getting out a little mini vest looking thing.
"Well, this really weird man keeps interrupting the middle of my dreams. He keeps saying that I have no love life… which I do have to admit to… but I don't know why he keeps saying every night." Tenchi looks down at his hands to see that they are all sweaty and clammy. What the… Tenchi thinks.
"When did the dreams start happening? How many nights ago?" Washu undoes the Velcro on the vest thing, and puts it on Tenchi's arm. She goes over to her computer, and connects a cord to the back of it.
"Well… they started about 3 nights ago, on Sunday. The night of that big party…" I remember that night well, Tenchi thinks. That was the best sake I think I have ever had… it had an odd zing to it. "Did you have the sake that night, Washu-San?"
"Yes Tenchi, that was some great sake, wasn't it? That is my personal favorite. Why do you ask?" Washu starts typing something on her 7359 key keyboard (actually, it's only 7538… I just felt like exaggerating… just kidding!). The vest thing on Tenchi's arm began to vibrate kind of, and he lost all feeling in his arm from his elbow down.
"Well, I thought it tasted kind of… strangely good. I mean, it had this really odd taste. I though it had this sour, metallic taste afterwards, you know what I mean?" Washu stopped her typing and looked at Tenchi. She got off her chair and walked over to him.
"Are you saying that the sake tasted funny to you, Tenchi?" Washu asked.
"Yea Washu, it did. Maybe that is what is causing these dreams!" Tenchi felt like he just figured out the meaning to life.
"Now wait a second Lord Tenchi. I want to do some blood testing to see if you have any kind of poison in you. Anyone could have slipped a little something into your drink. There were 30+ people here that night, and things were a little crazy." Tenchi does remember that night. He got absolutely no attention from anyone other then Aeka and Ryoko, who never stopped talking to him. Aeka can get a little out of hand sometimes. "Tenchi, did you see that odd looking shady character in the corner, with a bottle of the sake?"
Tenchi though about that for a while. "Yea Washu, I remember them. The only time I saw them in a place other then the corner was when he came, left, and when he ran out of sake, so he made a mad run to kitchen for another bottle. And then later on I sent Ken-Ohki into the kitchen to get Ryoko and I another bottle. When he came back, Ryoko said she didn't want anymore… then she fainted… so I just drank it by myself. I didn't drink it all though. I left some in the cabinet downstairs.
"That's it! We can check to see it the bottle has anything weird in it. You stay here with this machine on you, and I will be right back with the bottle." Washu walked out her special door and into the hallway. To her surprise, Aeka, Ryoko, Mihoshi and Sasami were standing outside the door. Mihoshi had her ear up against the wall.
"Mihoshi, if you're trying to here Tenchi and my conversation, good luck, cause it's impossible to here through psudo-space, smart one." Mihoshi backed away, her face a very dark red.
"Washu-San, is Tenchi going to be alright? Is there anything wrong with him?" Aeka asked, with an extremely anxious look on her face.
"Well Aeka, I can't say anything right now. I will be done with testing before the day is over though." Washu tells Aeka and touches her shoulder. She lets go and looks at Ryoko. Tenchi is going to be fine, Little Ryoko, you have nothing to worry about, Washu told her daughter through their telekinesis. Ryoko took deep sigh.
Washu walked away, and towards the stairs to the basement. When she reached the landing at the bottom of the stairs, she saw the bottle in the place that Tenchi had described to her before. She grabbed the bottle and started walking back up the stairs. She reached the upstairs, walked through everyone with out talking. She heard Ryoko and Aeka talking with each other about what Washu is going to do with a bottle of sake and Tenchi in her lab. Washu laughed to herself.
She walked over to her door, and went inside. Tenchi was sitting there, with his head leaned back. He was dead asleep. Washu smiled and walked over the machine. She pressed the button, and a small tube from Tenchi's arm turned a deep red as the blood went from Tenchi to Washu's machine. She stopped the process of drawing blood. She leaned over and took the vial of Tenchi's blood and put it in a different machine, one that looks at everything that's in the blood. What she finds is amazing.
She finds a very weird looking bright pink liquid. They are in the shape of little hearts. She tries to find her chair with her hand, because her knees are about to give out. Washu doesn't find the chair. "YOW!!" Washu screams throughout the whole lab. Tenchi wakes up.
"Washu-San, are you alright? Do you need any help?" Tenchi looks like he just woke up from a major hangover… the blood drawing must have made him this way.
"No Tenchi, stay sat down. I'm fine; I just slipped off of my chair, that's all.
"Well, if you're sure… I think I'm gonna go on into… um… LaLaLand again if you don't mind…" Tenchi's head falls to his chest. I swear, you could hear him snoring in the US, Washu thinks to herself.
Washu-San gets up off the floor and finds her chair, and sits down. She looks at the heart shaped… things in her microscope. The finds that they keep splitting, and they seem to have like a protective bubble around them. Oh my… Washu thinks. She looks up in her bacteria book, and tries to find a match for the shape. She can't find a thing. She looks over at the bottle. She picks up the bottle, and notices that it is still a little chilly. She takes a whiff of it, and it smells just like the sake they had last night. In one of the dumbest moments of her life, she takes a small sip. It tastes just like last night's sake too.
She gets up off her chair and looks over at Tenchi. There seems to be a… glow or something coming from him, he looks absolutely stunning just laying there sleeping. She shakes her head. What is coming over me, Washu- Chan asks herself. She walks over to Tenchi and wakes him up.
"Tenchi, are you feeling better now?" Washu feels his head to see if he's hot. Yea, he's hot… I mean, no, he feels fine! Washu slaps herself across the face. What the hell is happening?!
Tenchi opens his eyes a little and he sees Washu. He opens his eyes all the way.
"Oh, hey Washu-San. I must have dozed off for a while there. Have you done any tests?"
"Yes Tenchi, I have to tell you, I have no idea what is going on with you. I found these odd shaped bacteria in your blood. It's bright pink… and in the shape of a heart. I think someone slipped you something of a love potion or something…" Love potion, Washu thinks, ok, now I really am going crazy. But what else could explain such an odd bacteria. He has been acting a little… weird lately.
"What do you think this means Washu?" Tenchi thinks of that night. He remembers that when Ken-Ohki brought him another bottle of sake, the cork had a small hole in the side, close to the bottle. The angle of the hole went down into the bottle. Wait, could this mean that someone sneaked this love type potion into my sake?
But why…? Is their someone out there who can read my dreams, who knew what was happening to me?
"Oh where to begin…" says Tenchi. Should I tell her about the dreams I have been having, he thinks. No, they are mean absolutely nothing to my sickness… or do they? "Well Washu-San, I have been having these incredible stupid dreams. I am sure they mean nothing though."
