Ryoko couldn't believe what she had just heard come from Tenchi. She didn't want this moment to end yet she knew that it had to. The truth of their situation was that she had to leave and they could never really be together; it just wasn't meant to happen.
But Tenchi's confession had made her so happy but also so much harder for her to just get on her ship and leave. But that was how it had to be though for now she just wanted to be in his arms and feel his presence. She loved him and that was all that mattered to her in that moment.
After he had left her room that night Ryoko laid down to go to bed. But shortly after doing so she realized that she would not be getting any sleep that night. This was all she had wanted but this was definitely bad timing. She felt as fate was playing some cruel joke on her.
At breakfast that morning Ryoko had acted as she had been acting for the last three months. No one else really seeing a difference in her but Tenchi. As he watched her he realized that she didn't seem as sad as she yesterday.
Noticing Tenchi watching her from across the table Ryoko gave him a small smile which he returned. Tenchi began eating again but he was still worried about her and what she had told him last night was still on his brain.
Coming out of his thoughts he saw Ryoko leaving the table and then go outside. Tenchi at first thought to follow but figured she had alot to think about. He himself hadn't slept at all that night and figured that she might not have either.
Ryoko loved the fall season of earth, it was her favorite time of year. She loved the way the leaves would change colors. How fresh the air smelled. Walking among the Masaki shrine's many cherry blossom trees she thought of how much Tenchi's words had made everything so much more complicated.
But even so she loved him more for it those words; the ones that she had always wanted to hear from him. Ryoko walked over to one of the trees and sat down leaning against it. Quitely she began singing song, it gave her security knowing it was the one thing no one could take away from her.
After breakfast Tenchi went off to do his chores; as he was heading down the path to the shrine stairs he heard a soft musical sound.He knew immediately that it was Ryoko and she was singing that song, he couldn't explain it, but whenever he heard it something in him just made him stop and listen.
He felt as though her soul was reaching out to his trying to tell him something. He had to find, he began to search through the cherry blossom trees; the sound steadily got lounder until he found her lying against one of the trees her eyes closed singing.
He wanted to call out to her but at that moment he couldn't do much of anything but listen to her enchanting song. The emotions he was getting from her song was mind blowing; he had never felt anything like them before. Tenchi stood there just content to feel at that moment.
After what seemed like hours to Tenchi Ryoko stopped singing.
Opening her eyes Ryoko realized that Tenchi had been standing there listening to her song. She was wondering why he was here but didn't bother to ask. They stood there just looking into each others eyes neither wanting to ruin the spell that had been cast over them.
Knowing that one of them would have to speak sometime Tenchi finally spoke "Where did you learn that song Ryoko" he asked quietly.
"I don't know Tenchi but I have know it for my whole life" she answered softly.
Tenchi looked like he wanted to ask more questions but he didn't say anything more he just went to sit by Ryoko sighing. He wished that things could be different for them but this was the path fate had chosen for them. Tenchi took her hand in his and held it next to his heart.
