Chapter 6

In the last chapter

Ryoko and Washu stood across from each other ready to fight. Ryoko took the first hit sending Washu across the room. Washu recovered and started towards Ryoko with her light saver sword. Both swords clashing together and then breaking apart again. Ryoko started for Washu ready to strike again. But this time washu vanished and appeared behind Ryoko kicking her in the back. Ryoko grunted a little but soon regained control of herself. After awhile of going back and forth. Ryoko had managed to get Washu on the ground holding the sword up to her throat.

Ryoko: How can Tenchi love you? Even your husband left you. Your not able to be loved just as much as I am.

Ryoko had really hit the spot mentioning Washu's husband. Washu felt all her anger come to the surface and before she knew it, she had lashed her sword in to Ryoko. It sent her to the floor with blood every where. Washu opened her eyes wide to see what she had done. The tears started to build up.

Washu: What have I done to my child.

Washu sank to her knees crying holding her daughters hand.

Washu:Ryo-oki take us back to earth.

Washu stood out side in her adult size holding Ryoko. She walked as fast as she could into the Masaki household. She didn't even notice everyone lying around in the liver room. She laid Ryoko down on the medical bed as she walked into the lab. She sat on her cushion typing as fast as she could. Ryoko's healing powers weren't working. She would have to patch her up by hand. Washu heard a *beep* on the panel next to Ryoko's bed. She was going into a comma. Washu slammed her hand on to the panel.

Washu: Why is this happening to me.

There was nothing she could do for Ryoko right now all she could do is wait. She left the lab to be stopped by Tenchi. Washu looked into his eyes unsure of her love for him right now.

Tenchi: Washu what happen are you OK.

Washu: yes I'm fine but Ryoko isn't, she is in a coma.

Tenchi: What happen?

Washu: It was an accident.

Thats all Washu could say before she burst into tears. Tenchi held her close telling her soothing words.

Tenchi: It will be alright Washu, everything will be just fine.

He was wrong, and Washu knew it. Even if Ryoko was to come out of her coma she wouldn't be the same. She would hate her more than ever now, and Washu wasn't sure if she could take it.

***************************************************************************

And thats how she ended up on the roof.

It had happen a week ago and Ryoko's condition had not changed. Washu blamed herself for everything that happened. Tenchi had tried to comfort her by telling her it wasn't her fault, but Washu knew that wasn't at all true. Tenchi had acted so calm like nothing ever happened, he acted as if he didn't care. Washu couldn't even look at Tenchi for the time being, he was the reason that they were in this situation.

Washu: Damn that Tenchi.

She thought to herself of how this could of been avoided.

Washu: I should of just let Tenchi go.

Washu started to cry as she had did many days after Ryoko went into the coma. If Ryoko didn't wake up soon she would sure lose some of her memories. Washu hoped that it would not come to that. Washu sat on the roof realizing how much her and her daughter were alike. She liked being up here, just one look at the stars could calm you. Washu was tired, she hadn't had a good sleep in a while and here would be the perfect place. She laid down with her arms behind her head and fell into a deep sleep.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile in the lab

*beep* beep* beep * beep* beeeeeeeeeep*

Ryoko's hand moved slightly. She open her eyes reveling the gold in them. She groaned. She felt so weak and then she realized where she was. She got out of bed slowly but once on her feet she fell. She was to weak to even walk she needed help.

Ryoko:(Washu I need you, Washu please.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Washu awoke soon as she heard Ryoko's voice in her head. At first she thought maybe it was just some kind of dream. But then she heard it again.

Washu:(Ryoko I'm coming)

Washu climbed down the ladder from the roof and entered the house as quickly as she could. When she got into the lab Ryoko wasn't on the medical bed. She walked around to find Ryoko lying on the floor.

Washu: Ryoko are you OK?

Ryoko: I have a head ace.

Washu: I'll give you something for that.

Washu typed a couple of commands and then pulled a bottle of pills out of sub space.

Washu: Here take two of these.

Ryoko took put the pills in her mouth as Washu handed her a cup of water. Ryoko felt the pain go away.

Washu: Ryoko I'm so glad your OK. If you would have stayed in the coma any longer you would of lost some of your memories.

Ryoko: What would be so bad about that. Maybe I would of forgotten that you almost killed me.

Washu had nothing to say to that. She would take anything that Ryoko threw at her. Ryoko just stared at her mother while she looked down. Ryoko didn't want to fight, this little accident had taught her a little lesson. She wasn't sure what it was but she felt different now about the whole ordeal.

Ryoko: It's OK Washu, I don't blame you, it's my fault. I should have been happy for you but instead I just took my anger put it all on you. I'm sorry it's just that I-

Ryoko started to cry. Washu was surprised at this action she didn't know what to do either.

Washu: Ryoko.

Ryoko: I just thought that I deserved Tenchi no matter what. I went trough so much and I just wanted to love and be loved back. I wasn't thinking of everyone else only my self. That's the only way I know how to survive.

Washu: Ryoko I know that remember, I may have not been right next to you but I was there and I felt what you felt. Only you,me, and Ryo-oki know what happened on the sojah.

Ryoko: I remember, it's just that I hate being me.

Washu: Ryoko you should never hate yourself.

Ryoko: I know

Washu:Ryoko I have an idea if you willing to forget our differences.

Ryoko: They are already forgotten mom.

Washu hugged Ryoko, she resisted as first but hugged Washu back.

Ryoko: Alright mom now what's your idea.

*********************************************************************

Ayeka: So is everything OK

Tenchi: yeah I talked to Washu and she said her Ryoko would be at breakfast this morning.

Ayeka: I never got to tell you that I was happy for you and Washu.

Tenchi: Thank you Ayeka I'm just sorry that I didn't tell you guys sooner.

Sasami:Don't worry Tenchi, you were just in love. Mother told me people do stupid things when they are in love.

Mihoshi: Oh yes my mother told me the same thing I never understood it though.

Everyone: Oh brother.

Washu: Good morning everyone

Ayeka: Good morning little Washu or shall I say Washu

Sasami: Hey where's Ryoko

Washu: I guess it would only be appropriate to call me Washu. Oh Ryoko is right behind me, hey where did she go. Ryoko come out.

Ryoko: Are you sure

Washu: Come out

Ryoko: Ok

A Ryoko, no bigger than Sasami came through the lab exit. She looked like Washu but with different color hair and eyes. Ryoko walked towards the table and sat down with Washu ignoring all the stares she was getting.

Mihoshi: Washu what happen to Ryoko.

Sasami: Yeah she looks like a kid now.

Tenchi: What are you guys up to.

Washu:Oh nothing really she is still Ryoko just a different size. She has the ability that I have to change from adult to child. So don't worry it's not permanent.

Ayeka: I must know what brought up this idea?

Washu: That is between me and Ryoko, isn't that right?

Ryoko: Yup, now can we eat now?

Everyone: Same Ryoko.

*****************************************************************************

Later that day

Washu and Tenchi sat at the side of the lake holding each others hand.

Tenchi: Are you sure Ryoko is OK with everything?

Washu: Yeah I'm sure if anything well have a probably with Ryoko wanting to share me with you. It's like she wants to be around me all the time. I don't think I'll ever give it up.

Tenchi: Well you and Ryoko deserve each other.

Washu: Yeah sorta like how me and you deserve each other huh.

Tenchi: Yup your right my love we do deserve each other.

Washu:Tenchi do you wannah

Tenchi: Yes love

Washu: Lets play doctor, come on Tenchi I'll be really nice.

Tenchi: oh no

Washu: oh come one Tenchi

Tenchi: Same old Washu.

Washu: You bet.

Tenchi: Thats what I love about you

Washu: And I love you too Tenchi
