Chapter 2: One Day, Trust, & A Girl and Her Lab
Kin slowly awoke. A little groggy from the drugs Washu had given him, he slowly took in his new surroundings. He was in a large square room. The sun shining through the large windows on one wall gave the room a warm feeling, and the couches and television only added to the family atmosphere. After a moment, he realized he was in the recreational area of a house, the "living room." Kin sat on a wooden chair in the middle of the room, and across from him, on a large green couch, sat Washu, Ryoko, and a young man dressed as a Shinto priest. Kin leaped to his feet, knocking the chair over. The man stood slowly, "Calm down, we only want to talk with you, my name is Tenchi," Kin managed to keep the surprise off his face, did he really say he was Tenchi? Washu had mentioned him earlier, but she had said he had defeated Kagato's shadow twenty years ago. This man looked barely twenty himself. Curiosity got the better of him and he reset the chair and sat down. "What do you want from me?" he asked, trying to hide the anger, frustration and fear in his voice.
Kin-Raidon was indeed afraid, an emotion that was not new too him, but one he only associated with Kagato, until this moment. He was afraid because he was in a room with someone he was supposed to have assassinated, and a boy who couldn't possibly have been the one to take on Kagato's shadow, but seemed to be anyway. But most of all, he was afraid of the cyan haired woman that sat across from him; the dreaded space pirate that had brutally massacred his parents just after his birth. As he glared into her golden eyes he saw something he recognized, but he could quite grasp it, what could it be.?
"We just want to talk, that's all, maybe help you out, if you need it," replied Tenchi.
"I need no one's help," snapped Kin.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" barked Ryoko.
"I have no given name, but the name given to me by the evil one I once call 'Master' is Kin-Raidon,"
"Kin-Raidon?" Tenchi asked while looking at Washu.
"It means 'golden thunder god,'" she said, explaining the meaning of Kin's name.
"And I am here because Shinron, the Eternal Dragon sent me here to find my origins, although I still don't know why," Kin continued.
Tenchi look bewildered again, "Shinron? Eternal Dragon?"
Washu sighed, "The Eternal Dragon is." she started.
"There are seven balls," Kin broke in, "the dragon balls. They are scattered around the world. When some one collects all seven and brings them together, Shinron, the Eternal Dragon appears to grant three wishes,"
"Oh," was all Tenchi could muster, he was still a little confused, he had never heard of the dragon balls before.
"Okay, now it's my turn, who the hell are you?" Kin asked, staring directly at Tenchi.
"My name is Tenchi Masaki, I." but before he could go on, Washu cut in.
"He is the owner of this house and Ryoko's husband, I will tell you anything else you may want to know on that matter later,"
"Ryoko? Married? To an earthling? What the hell are you doing here anyway, family killer?" Kin practically shouted at the demon woman.
Ryoko seemed shocked at this outburst, but quickly got over her immediate emotion, "How dare you! You little." but stopped when Washu whispered something in her ear. "Fine, if you think it'll help," she crossed her arms over her chest and teleported away with a grimace of anger on her face.
"These questions and more will be answered in due time," Washu said calmly, "in the meantime, you are a very interesting being, would you allow me to do some tests?" she asked with a glimmer of excitement in her emerald eyes.
A little taken aback by the question, Kin replied, "Uh, no, I don't think so, I have no reason to trust you people. You've already drugged me once."
"Well, what can we do to win your trust?" asked Tenchi. No sooner than he had finished his inquiry, a beautiful young woman, no older than Kin himself, poked her head into the room, "Ryoko, did you eat all the potato chips again?" she asked. Kin had never seen such a sight before. She wore her sky blue hair in a single long braid, which flowed down her back like the most stunning waterfall, and her eyes were the same magnificent color as cherry blossoms in spring. Tenchi quickly jumped to his feet and moved to intercept her before she could enter the room.
"Sasami, you need to back outside, stay out of the house for a little while," Tenchi said as he caught her.
"But why? It's boring out there!" she complained as Tenchi herded out into the next room.
Kin could still hear them through the half closed door, "Because we don't know if that boy is dangerous or not,"
"Oh, he can't be dangerous, he's just a kid," she responded.
"Yeah, well, we'll just wait and see. Please wait outside, just for a little while longer. Go for a walk or something, okay?" Tenchi pleaded.
"Oh, alright, but I still don't see the problem," then came the sound of a sliding glass door closing, and Tenchi reappeared in the doorway.
"You want to know how you can win my trust? You," Kin said, speaking directly to Tenchi, "can give me one day to do with as I please, whatever that may be, got it?" Kin then turned to Washu, "And you, you will tell me everything I want to know, including what you know about me. Shinron would not lie to me about this location. Do you understand?" their only responses were grave nods. Kin stared into Tenchi deep brown eyes, "And yes, I am very dangerous, however, you do not need to concern yourself with that, I do not attack unless provoked,"
"Then what was all that with Ryoko at the shrine?" asked Tenchi, with a hint of anger seeping into his voice.
"That is between me and that murderous bitch, however, out of respect for your 'hospitality,' I will refrain from extracting my revenge until a later place and time," he replied with a grimace.
Kin spent the rest of the day wondering the grounds of the Masaki residence. Most of his time was spent at the shrine. It was there that he decided to allow Washu to proceed with the tests, he did come here to find out about himself, and maybe she will be able to tell him something. This decision came difficultly, and after many hours of thinking. He convinced himself when a sliver of doubt was driven into his consciousness. How could a holy man marry a murdering demon? It simply didn't make any sense. And on top of that, how could someone that seemed as innocent as Sasami live with Ryoko too? Questions were now swirling through Kin's head; could Ryoko not have been the one to kill his parent? Would Kagato lie about that? Who was he trying to kid? Of course Kagato would lie, but still, did he? All Kin had managed to do was confuse himself. As he came around the side of one of the shrine buildings he heard grunts of exertion coming from the front of the structure. When the area in question can into Kin's view, he found Tenchi attempting to lift his backpack, which he had left near the porch when he had fallen asleep the night before. Tenchi had both hands wrapped around one strap, but he simply could not lift the pack. "Here, let me," offered Kin as he hefted the bad onto a shoulder with one hand. Tenchi was awestruck. "It's weighted, I use it for training. It makes me stronger and faster when I take if off," he explained. "Let's head back to the house, I have made my decision,"
"All right Washu, I have decided to allow you to proceed with your tests," Kin saw her face begin to light up, and continued before she could get too excited, "but I have a few conditions," He looked around the room, at his audience. Tenchi and Washu sat on the couch waiting for his terms, while Ryoko was outside, attempting to keep Sasami out in the dark, both figuratively, and literally; night had since fallen. "I want you to tell me what you and Ryoko are doing here, I want to know about Tenchi, and I want to know all your findings, after all Shinron didn't send me here for nothing," Washu gave Tenchi a sideways glance. Tenchi nodded in agreement.
"Agreed. Now, if you'll just follow me please," Washu replied as she stood and walked towards a small door set into the wall. Kin stood and placed his backpack on the chair he had been seated in. The chair groaned for a moment, then collapsed in a cloud of dust and splinters. Everyone looked at the crumbled remains of the chair in awe, "Uh, oops, sorry," was all Kind had to offer on the subject.
Washu opened the door, and Kin was astonished at the seer vastness of the room. In the background of his mind, Kin could hear Washu explaining something about a "subspace" portal, and the laboratory actually existing in another dimension. Kin heard all this, but it did not register in his brain, he was too occupied with taking in all that the lab had to offer at first glance. "What sort of tests did you have in mind Washu?" Kin asked absently. "Well," replied the "child" genius, "I'm gonna map your DNA, to see if you are who I think you are." "Huh?" "Nothing," continued Washu, "I was also going to run several tests to determine what sort of power you have." "Well, I could tell you that," interrupted Kin. "Ah, but that would take all the fun out of it! And if you interrupt me one more time I'll turn you into a water sprite!" she said, smiling evilly at Kin, who gulped audibly. "Uh, okay," "And lastly, I was going to run some OTHER tests!" she concluded, "Sit there," she instructed, pointing to what looked like an operating table, she then disappeared into the lab. When she returned, she was dressed in a skimpy nurse's uniform. "Uh, Washu, what's with the uniform?" asked a perplexed Kin. "Why, I'm an angel of mercy Kin!" she replied. "Um, can we just get on with the tests please?" Kin asked, a little fearfully. "Oh fine, have it your way, spoilsport," she whined, "take off that ratty sweatshirt." Kin complied, revealing masses of crimson scars crisscrossing his chest, shoulders and back. Washu couldn't help but stare at the ugly cords twisting across Kin's muscles. "What happened to you?" asked with a maternal tone that caught Kin slightly off guard. Kin spoke only one word under his breath. "Kagato," Washu took his attitude as a sign to probe no farther, pressed a button and a complicated mechanical apparatus lowered itself over Kin's exposed chest. The machine was teeming with grasping arms, syringes, and an array of things that Kin couldn't match with a name. The arms tested the strength of every major muscle group on his body, first giving them an electric shock to cause them to tense, and then measuring their firmness. Washu was amazed to find that there was no "give" in his flesh anywhere. Every muscle on his body was rock solid. "Why the needle, Washu?" Kin asked a little nervously. "It's just going to take a sample of your blood, so I can analyze your DNA," she replied absently, as she was busy reading the results on a subspace laptop that materialized in the air before her. Even before she had finished her explanation, the needle had buried itself into his arm and drew out a few ounces of blood, and the entire device moved back to its place in the ceiling. Kin stood up in front of the table, "What now?" "Just one more test, hold this please," she said, handing him a large, rather heavy, vase. Kin took the vase cautiously, "Okay, but what does this have to do with anything?" "Trust me," she replied, "whatever happens, don't let go of that vase," She walked around behind him, "Ready?" Kin, who had figured out what this test was, gulped, "As ready as I'll ever be," then clenched his teeth in anticipation. "Okay, here we go," Washu said, then grabbed hold of Kin's tail. Instantly he could feel his strength flowing out of him, being replaced my intense pain. He squeezed his eyes shut, ground his teeth together, and tried to tighten his hold on the vase. He could feel its weight increasing in his hands and they began to sag. He grunted and tried to lift his arms back up. His knees began to wobble precariously, and, not being able to help himself, he fell to one knee. Shortly the other knee followed suit. Suddenly he fell over on the vase, smashing it into thousands of tiny shards, and just before he passed out, Washu released him. Kin groaned softly. "Wow," was Washu's only response. "Yeah, ugh, 'wow,' thanks a lot," Kin said, slowly lifting himself to his knees and elbows. After a moment Kin regained enough strength to climb back onto the examination table. As he lay there catching his breath, he looked at Washu. "You told me you would tell me about you, Ryoko, and Tenchi," he said hopefully. "I did, didn't I? Where should I start?" she asked herself. "Why not the beginning?" suggested Kin. "Sounds like as good a place as any," she sighed, and began. "About thirty years ago, Tenchi decided it would be a good idea to sneak into the forbidden cave of the Masaki shrine."
Over the next several hours, Kin was told of the resurrection of Ryoko, the arrivals of Ayeka, Sasami, and Mihoshi, and Tenchi's death at the hand of Kagato's ship, the Soja and his resurrection by Tsunami, Sasami's goddess alter ego. Washu explained to him how Kagato had her imprisoned, Ryoko's battle with Kagato, and finally, how Tenchi managed to defeat him. "But I guess all Tenchi managed to get was his shadow," Kin was a little confused, "How did he even mange to do that? "Well, I'm not even totally sure about that, you see, Tenchi is part of the Juraian Royal Family, and for some reason he can generate three lighthawk wings, which he used to kill Kagato," Kin nodded, and Washu continued. "After he defeated Kagato, problems arose back home," "What do you mean?" asked Kin. "Well, Ayeka and Ryoko living in one house with Tenchi ended up just causing lots of problems, heh," she giggled a little, "Long story short, after a while Tenchi decided he loved Ryoko, and they got married. Ayeka went back to Jurai to become Empress. There are no hard feelings and she comes back to visit whenever her duties allow. Mihoshi got called back to the Galaxy Police, and even managed to get a promotion, she also visits from time to time. Sasami wanted to stay, she says it's because she doesn't want any of the responsibilities of the Royal Family, but I think it's because she likes to cook for us. Since then she has merged with Tsunami, but she has not learned how to use her new powers yet. Even Ryoko's ship, Ryo-oki has gone away, she left to explore the universe, but she too visits. And I stayed because I wanted to be with my daughter and my little 'guinea pig.'" She said with a slightly feline grin. When she caught Kin's confused eye she yelped, "Uh, never mind. Well, I guess that's just about everything," Washu finished. "Not quite," Kin said, "if Tenchi is that old, what? Almost 50? Why does he look like he's in his early twenties?" "Like I said, he is Juraian, and when the Jurai reach seventeen their aging process slows down so much it almost appears to stop," "Hmm, I think I get it. Are you done with the DNA?" Kin asked; he was becoming impatient. "I think I may almost be." Washu stopped abruptly. "What? What is it? What's wrong?" Kin's impatience had quickly changed to worry. Slowly Washu turned to face him. She was ginning from ear to ear with knowledge, "It IS you!" she cried out with joy, "my beautiful grandson!"
