As the sun rose so did Rontu. She just couldn't ignore the smell of something very good coming from the kitchen area any longer. Seeing as she hadn't eating in a few weeks this seem the most promising opportunity. So she lifted herself from her perch and tip toed along the railing into the kitchen were she dropped down so that she was now hanging upside down from the railing.

"Ryo-oki please go get the other's for breakfast," Sasami was saying to ryo- oki

Rontu grinned inwardly one little girl with her back turn was nothing to the rouge bandit. She carefully lifted the pot of bubbling food from it place on the stove crept back alone the railing and jumped out a near bye window into a tree to enjoy her stolen gain.

Sasami soon turned around to find the food missing she let out a loud wail that succeeded in awakening the whole house and knocking Ryoko off her beam.

"What in the seven hells is going on here?" said Washu as she came running out of her lab startled bye the scream.

"Breakfast is gone," Sasami cried as she buried her self in Tenchi's arms.

"And I bet I know the lowly space pirate that took it" Aeka sneered pointing toward Ryoko.

" Now just hold on a minute princess I didn't do nothing of the short I'm not a thief no more ya know" Ryoko yelled charging up her energy sword getting ready to fight with Aeka yet again.

"Sniff, sniff" Ryoko began sniffing the air her keen nose catching the scent of Sasami's cooking coming from outside. She quickly put to and to together and jumped out the window and in a tree where she came face to face with a well-fed looking Rontu.

Ryoko cracked a huge grin but quickly hid it from sight "she looks so cute" Ryoko thought as she sat down.

"So it was you that stole the food" Ryoko said unable to hid her grin very well. Rontu stretched and sat up grinning and wiped her mouth on her sleeves. "What are you going to do tell on me?" Rontu said with a hint a mocking. Ryoko smiled and picked up the pot.

"Who me I do have some honor I would never rat out another thief" Ryoko stated standing up.

"In fact I have a plan to keep you out of trouble" Ryoko lowered her voice.

"Listen I'll teleport the pot back in to the kitchen and you hop right back throw that window and start acting innocent you got" Ryoko whispered as she teleported away.

Rontu smiled slyly and jumped back throw the window "well at the I know the demon's trust able" Rontu thought as she landed on the floor with out so much as a noise.

Ryoko came out of the kitchen "sorry kid looks like a raccoon got it" she said as she ruffled Sasami's hair.

Sasami just smiled and happily and chirped "that's ok I'll just cook some more" with that she bounced back in to the kitchen and began to hum and cook more food.

Ryoko felt a tugging on her sleeve Washu was dragging her back into her lab.

"What do you want you pink haired pest?" Ryoko growled.

"That's no why to talk to your mother, but away little Ryoko your busted raccoons don't steel cooking pots full of food but I bet fox's do" Washu said rubbing her hand together and smiling almost demonically.

"Yeah whatever" ryoko called out as she exited Washu's lab.

"Oh Rontu you can come get your clothing now" Washu yelled out her lab door. Rontu came bounding in like a hungry dog summed to a giant dish of food.

"Great I am getting really sick of this umm what'd you call it" Rontu said scratching her head.

"It's called a kimono and you can change now" Washu said puling up a room divider. Rontu change and ran out of the lab going off to steel the second pot of food.

Washu walked out after her and pushed a button on a remote, a low scream and a thud was herd just before a very pisst looking rontu came blazing out.

"What just happen" she yelp as Washu laughed.

"Well my dear there is a shock callor in you tunic that I can zap you with if you try to steel any more food" Washu said pointing to the remote in her hand. Rontu although she didn't really understand she stormed out anyway letting her cloak swish behind her. Ryoko fallow her silently when they got out into a clearing Rontu still not aware of Ryoko presents pulled out her sword said a few words Ryoko could not understand and all of the sudden a giant shadow fox like thing appeared Rontu petted it and Ryoko herd her call it khotela.

"Wow what is that" Ryoko said utterly perplexed, walking over to it and petting.

Rontu laughed, "This is khotela and he is the reason I am called dark fox".

"Oh" said Ryoko nodding in understanding "here let me take that shock thingy off you" Ryoko walked over and raped out the device.

"Much better" Rontu yawned stretching "do you want to ride on khotela" rontu asked pointing to the fox like thing.

"Sure why not" Ryoko grinned "always a first time for everything".

So Rontu help Ryoko up and order khotela to take off.
