No Need For Another Girl
Chapter Three
Rosethorn watched Sasami cook, smiling at the young girl's back. Ryoko had left her here to go watch her Tenchi, whoever that who. He seemed important to her, maybe her life mate. And this young cheif was quite a good cook, even by her standereds. They only person she knew to be that good was Bijin, a friend of her cousin's that she saw often. The poor girl was cursed, though, and had to stay inside mostly.
Her thoughts were interupted by the young girl's voice asking for help. She blinked, not sure what to do. She'd cooked before, but only basic things. She hadn't really had time to learn, since staying alive was the most important thing in her life. "I...don't know how," Rosethorn weakly replied, confused and uncomfortable.
Sasami just smiled at the older girl's confusion. "I'll show you what to do." The demoness followed the young Jurai princess into the kitchen, ready and willing to help.
Ryo-Ohki stared at them as they entered the kitchen, munching on a carret. Rosethorn stared at her in uncertenty for a moment, then smiled warmly. The cabit tilted it's head to the side, not sure what to make of this girl. She seemed a lot like Ryoko, a different breed maybe. Not coming to a certain desition, Ryo-Ohki just continued to munch on it's carret, enjoying the juicy taste.
The young demoness followed Sasami's instrutions, enjoying the peace and quiet. This was the first time she'd felt safe outside her cousin's home. It was nice, but she knew it wouldn't last. Li would come for her, and she wouldn't be happy.
Washu's Room
Washu stared at the screen, a blank expression on her face. There had been someone with Rosethorn as she was being atacked. That someone was a female demoness similair to the girl she had brought, but with much higher power readings. A moment later, the woman was gone in a flash of pure energy she had caused. Where she'd gone, Washu couldn't tell until a moment later when she felt a presence behind her.
"Hello, there." The voice was female, not quite high or low but beautiful all the same. "Where is she?" There was no need to ask who 'she' was.
"Yes, hello. I am Washu, Greatest Genius in the Universe. Who might you be?" asked the pinked haired woman instead of answering the other one.
Golden eyes glared at the small woman through silvery bangs, ears pointed and twitching with every sound. Shinning silver hair was pulled away from a beautiful face in a tight braid to her feet, features defined and perfect even in her raging state. A black silk chinese style shirt, embroidered with dragons in all shades of blue and red, and flowing black pants clothed her body, sleves to her wrists and leggings to her ankles. She wore black leather sandals sewn with gold and silver thread, the sword around her waiste jeweled with the eyes of an angry phoenix, hilt shaped like the bird as well.
Her hand held tightly around the phoenix's body, body tense and calm even with her temper raging. She was ready to draw her sword, and would have if Ryoko hadn't appeared that moment.
"It's been a while, Ryoko," was all the beautiful woman said. She didn't have to speak again. Just her voice was enough to make the younger demoness remember her.
"...Li..." The ex-spacepirate couldn't beleave Li was still alive. After the explosion in space that had destroyed two planets, she hadn't thought the woman alive. She'd been the one to cause the blast, and was taken off the Galaxy's Most Wanted after. Her old partner must be immortal, as she had said, to survive such a thing.
"Your /Li?" Washu was amazed. This woman's power was enormas, but nothing compaired to the old Li's. Had she lost strength in the explosion?
"I have just as much power as always," the demoness addressed the genuis. Telepathy was one of her known powers. "And yes, Ryoko, I am immortal. Now if you would kindly tell me where my cousin is. I would like to leave this demention as soon as possible, for Angel's sake, not mine."
The 'mother' and 'daughter' were confused. What the heck did she mean, 'for Angel's sake'? Who was Angel?
Li sighed and explained as breifly as possible. "Angel is Inu-Angel Z Rosethorn for short. She only tells people to call her Rosethorn to confuse them." Ryoko's face was still blank in misunderstanding, while Washu had an idea to what she meant. "Rosethorn is Angel and I's last name," she stated simply.
Rosethorn Li. That was her name. The powerful figure know in almost every demention in some form or another, the daughter of a great Taiyoukai and Goddess. She had many powers, and was connected with the earth, her biological Mother.
They stared at her, the anceint being older than most demensions. If Rosethorn, now known as Angel, was really her cousin, she must hold a great power.
"Nevermind. I know where she is."
Li was gone in an instent, just as she had come. Leaving a thoughtful Washu and speachless Ryoko in her wake.
Kitchen
Li teleported in beside the cooking Angel, startling the other occupents of the room. She didn't even get a chance to speak as Ayeka rushed in, worried. She'd suddenly felt an alein pressence in the house, more powerful then anything she'd ever felt.
Standing beside her sister were two female demonesses, the shorter cooking atire with triangular ears atop her head, the taller a beautiful woman a lot like Ryoko with pointed human ears such as one of the Elven might have. She sensed their powerful energy, higher then her own or any she'd known.
'She thinks Angel and I hostile,' Li thought, hearing Ayeka's thoughts and intentions even if she didn't want to. 'This is getting out of hand! And I sense another coming.'
Li was right. A moment later Tenchi stepped in from the dining room, wondering where everyone was. Seeing two unknown females being glared at by Ayeka confused him to no end.
Meanwhile, the blonde haired Galaxy police officer slept on, unaware of the new guests.
