a/n: I've been REALLY ashamed of myself these past few days because I haven't updated in sooooooooooo long and because all of my chapters are really, really, REALLY short… So I thought I would try and make it up to you guys (even though there really isn't a way) by actually writing some more ant trying to get this to be a long chapter… let's hope I'm successful…

We last left off at:

Ryoko walked in and saw herself watching Tenchi from the cave on Washu's monitor...... she then saw all of the images of herself crying over Tenchi..... And who else was standing there but Tenchi himself....

She walked up to the monitor paying no heed to Washu or Tenchi who stood there watching her… Tears started to stream down her cheeks as she turned to face Tenchi…

"I..I didn't want…I didn't want you to see this, but I eventually wanted you to see what I've been going through anyway…all of my pain and su-suffering that I went through just to try and get attention from you…I..I…"

She couldn't speak anymore as she slid down to the floor and started shaking with sobs…

The video bit of when Ryoko heard Tenchi confess his love to Ayeka came up on-screen and kept repeating… Tenchi walked over to Ryoko and placed a hand on her shoulder…

"I know about what you saw, and I didn't know how I would break it to you, but my decision will not change… I am in love with Ayeka, and if you wish you can still stay here" And with that Tenchi left the room… Ryoko now curled up into a ball shaking and jerking even more violently then before…

As he walked out and shut the door he let out a huge sigh of relief.. It seemed to him that a heavy burden was just lifted from his chest… But now he had to deal with the weight of guilt on his shoulders…

When Tenchi came into Ayeka's view she immediately rushed up to him ready to give the whole threat by Ryoko, but when she noticed he looked as if he was going to explode and destroy the nearest thing to him… she decided to back off…

Tenchi decided that he needed some fresh air and to be away from everyone so he decided to go outside for a little stroll, you know, to cool his jets….

Washu and Ryo-ohki had managed to calm Ryoko down just enough so she didn't go kill someone out of self-pity when she vanished up into her room lying on her couch she skimmed through her cd's and found one she though suited her situation… But her cd player was in Tenchi's room…

Since it was hers, and she needed music right now, she phased into his room, grabbed a hold of it, and went back to her room… She put in her cd; The All American Rejects, and skipped it to number 3...

Days swiftly come and go.

I'm dreaming of her

She's seeing other guys

Emotions they stir

The sun is gone.

The nights are long

And I am left while the tears fall.

Did you think that I would cry,

on the phone?

Do you know what it feels like,

being alone?

I'll find someone new

Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of

My heart is crushed by a former love

Can you help me find a way

To carry on again.

Wish cast into the sky

I'm moving on

Sweet beginnings do arise

She knows I was wrong

The notes are old,

They bend, they fold

and so do I to a new love.

Did you think that I would cry,

on the phone?

Do you know what it feels like,

being alone?

I'll find someone new

Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of

My heart is crushed by a former love

Can you help me find a way

To carry on again

Bury me

(you thought your problems were gone)

Carry me

(away. away, away...)

[fades till end]

Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of

My heart is crushed by a former love

Can you help me find a way

To carry on again

By the end of the song Ryoko was fast asleep dreaming of someone new…

Sasami was finished cooking dinner, and when she looked around only Ayeka was there… She went outside to yell for Tenchi, and knocked on Washu's door… "Lunch is ready Miss.Washu" Sasami said through the door.. "Oh..uhhh… could you just fix me a plate and bring it in if it's not too much trouble? I'm doing some research…" "Okay" Sasami then bounded to the kitchen to make a plate for Washu…

*I just have to find out what makes Ayeka so different from Ryoko that Tenchi actually finds something different in her… and why hot dogs come in packages of ten while the hot dog buns only come in packages of eight….. Ahhhh one of life's biggest mysteries…*

a/n: So it was a little longer right? I am still so sorry for not updating in such a long time… it's just that I got my computer taken away and I can only type and update it at my friends' houses… but now that it's the summer that should b e whole lot easier… Until nextime.. Ciao
