Chapter 3




..........Tenchi tossed and turned in his bed. He went to bed in hopes of sleep but he soon knew that sleep was coming no time soon. He just couldn't get his mind off of Ryoko. It wasn't like Ryoko to just turn up missing. When he talked to Washu she informed him that her mind link had been cut off on Ryoko's end and she was unable to locate her. But deep down Tenchi knew Wash wasn't telling him something.
Tenchi sighed and got out of his bed. Quietly he made his way down stairs and out to the front porch. Tenchi closed his eyes and inhaled his the cool night air. Quietly spoke into the night air "Ryoko where are you?"


"I know where your dear Ryoko is" Tenchi turned to the sound of the voice at the end of the porch. There stood the black hair woman in a black dress.

"Who are you?" asked Tenchi

"Who I am is has no matter, what matters is where Ryoko is." she spoke in a calm voice "The only way for you to get her back is to face your fears"

"What are you talking about"

"Come with me and you will know soon enough" she said and in the blink of the eye they went from standing outside of the Masaki house into white nothingness. Above them flouted Ryoko in a capsule.

"What the hell....what have you done to her" yelled Tenchi

The women smiled "Don't you worry. She is fine....for now"

Tenchi eyes narrowed and he spoke "I don't know who you are or what the hell you want, but if you have any brains you will let her go"

The dark hair girl walk around Tenchi then laugh when she come face to face with him. But to him this was no laughing matter. Tenchi took a few steps back from the women and took fighting stance.

"Oh, there is no need for us to fight. You can easily get your Ryoko back, just face the one thing you fear the most." she giggled

Tenchi's eyes widen. That was the same thing the little girl in his dream had said he had to do. Could this have anything to do with his dream?

"What's wrong" she asked "you look confused. Well you shouldn't be." she smiled again "All you have to do is face that one thing you fear doing the most and well if you don't then......" the women raised her hand and formed a energy ball. She aimed it at the capsule in which Ryoko sleep. "You know" she said lowering her voice "Ryoko is a sleep so she would be unable you protect her self from this little blast"

"Why the are you bring Ryoko into this. She as not a thing to do with me facing something I fear" he said to try and stop her from hurting Ryoko.

"Oh, but she as allot to do with it" the dark hair beauty said in a child like voice.

"NO SHE DON'T, NOW WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT" Tenchi screamed getting upset

"Well.." she said with a soft sigh "if you don't understand then I might as well just get this over with". The energy ball began to grow in her hand.

"NO WAIT.." yelled Tenchi.

"And why should I do that" she asked

Tenchi dropped to his knees and started to move hands to try and in force his words "Ryoko can't die because I haven't got up the courage yet to get over my fear of telling Ryoko that I love her. So please just let her go and we can figure out what you are talking about." He pleaded

The women just shook her head and spoke "Tenchi, Tenchi, Tenchi, you did it". Tenchi looked confused "You feared admitting that you loved Ryoko and now you have admitted it to me...." she snapped her fingers and the capsule was gone. Ryoko began to fall, but Tenchi reached out and caught her. "Now admit it to her when she awakes."

Tenchi held Ryoko close to him. It amazed him at how beautiful she was. He knew then that no matter how scared he was, he was going to tell her how he felt.

Tenchi looked up when heard someone sit in front of him. He looked up expecting to see a dark hair women, but what he saw was a little dark hair girl. The girl from his dream. He listened as she started to speak "Take her to Washu when you get home. She knows about this already so she will know how to wake Ryoko."

The little girl got up and began to walk away, but stopped when she heard Tenchi call to her. She turned to hear what he had to say "Who are you, will you ever be back and how did my admitting I love Ryoko have anything to do with saving your life?"

" Who I am does not matter or right now it don't, but I will be back. You will learn about me in about a year from now and will see me again in nine months from then." The girls smile grew bright "I am am sure you know how this is saving my life by now. If you think about it then you will figure out who I am and where I am from too."

"Wait!" Tenchi called "How do we get home?"

"Like this." The girl snapped her fingers and in a flash Tenchi was setting in his front yard in the middle of the night with Ryoko in his arms.

Tenchi got up and started to carry Ryoko to Little Washu's lab. He didn't care how late it was he want to get Ryoko to Washu has soon as possible so that she could wake Ryoko because there is much he has to tell her.






The end maybe or maybe not.............
