Yugi's eyes slowly drifted open so that she could see the lab. She gave off
a small groan as she clutched her head while she sat up on the table that
she found herself laying on. "W-What happened?" she asked herself while
rubbing her head.
"Ah, good, you are finally awake. You have been out nearly a day," said Washu with a smile as she walked out of the shadows towards Yugi. "Don't move too much, you need some rest,' said Washu when she saw Yugi try to stand up only to fall onto the table again.
Yugi just remained seated there until the one thing crossed her mind in which she remembered why she was in this position in the first place. "Washu how is it possible for her to here? I got rid of her when she didn't do what I wanted her to. I seriously regret that now but I am curious as to how it was possible," said Yugi watching Washu very curiously at that moment.
"The answer to that is because I brought her back myself. Seeing how miserable Tenchi felt when he was alone made me realize what little chance the rest of the women had. I knew Tenchi would probably try to look any way that he could in order to bring Sakuya back. I scanned your mind while you were sleeping and brought up what I could of her soul but not all of it was there because some of it was with Tenchi. I reconstructed her body into a real one and placed her into it. Rather an easy job for the greatest scientific genius in the universe," said Washu breaking out into hysterical laughter that caused Yugi to chuckle nervously.
"I see. Well maybe sometime I should go and talk to her. I guess I should apologize for having used her before," said Yugi with her eyes saddening a bit and she looked down at the ground.
"I think you have grown into a better person in the time that you slept," said Washu with a smile that made Yugi smile. "Oh, by the way, it would be wise for both yours, mine, and Sakuya's health if you didn't mention this to either Ayeka or Ryoko. Everyone else knows about it but to tell the two of them would be suicide," said Washu cringing at the thought.
Many mental images popped up into Yugi's head where it showed Ayeka and Ryoko frying, decapitating, and blasting them all away if they were to find out. It was definitely not a very pretty picture and it made her shudder at the mere images of them doing it. "Yeah, I think that that may be a very good idea," muttered Yugi staring at nothing.
"Tenchi is going into town later today to be with her and Sasami is going with him. He told me that you are welcome to come along if you wanted to. He should be leaving in about an hour so you had better hurry up if you want to go along. However, I would suggest that you still take it a bit easy for a while because you may still be a bit weak from just recently waking up," said Washu and was happy when she saw Yugi give a slight nod.

"Has anyone seen Lord Tenchi today? I have looked for him all over but he has once again disappeared," said Ayeka walking into the living room to see Ryoko in her usual spot and Washu and Mihoshi watching some program on the TV. "Then again, I haven't seen Sasami anywhere as well," said Ayeka finally realizing her little sister's disappearance as well.
"Oh yeah, he took the two out for a little while and they shouldn't be back for a while," said Washu not even taking her eyes away from the TV. "If you are planning on flirting with him then you had better just make yourself comfortable because it will take a while," said Washu as she patted the seat right next to her.
"Flirting! I would never do something like that," said an offended Ayeka but the laughing of Ryoko at her statement caused her to cringe. "And what exactly is so funny about what I said Ryoko?" asked an annoyed Ayeka with her hands placed on her waist.
"You not trying to flirt with Tenchi, that is a laugh," said Ryoko laughing as she floated down from the ceiling so that she was now floating directly above Ayeka. "You flirt with him as much as I do so don't try to deny it," said Ryoko as she floated over and took a seat upon the couch to watch some TV as well.
"I do not! I would never stoop so low as to do the exact same thing as a criminal like you," growled Ayeka, her fists clenching very tightly by her side as she stomp over towards them.
"Yes you do. We did the exact same thing in trying to get Tenchi away from Sakuya," said Ryoko but neither of them noticed how tense everyone else in the room became at the mentioning of her name. "We know how well that turned out though," said Ryoko calmly as she watched the show that was on.
"You seem to be awfully calm while talking about it. In case you have forgotten, that little hussy almost took him away from us completely as well as her creator Yugi," growled Ayeka but it didn't really go to well with the rest of the people in the room.
"Can't you get over what Yugi did Ayeka? That was all in the past and I thought you of all people would get over it," said Washu slamming her fist down upon the table making the other two occupants jump a bit.
"I am sorry, I don't know what came over me for a second," said Ayeka in a much calmer voice while she took a seat. "I guess that I am just worried that with Yugi back there might be a chance that Sakuya could come back and take away Lord Tenchi again. I don't want to think of something like having that hussy once again take him away from us," said Ayeka in a sad voice.
Neither Washu or Mihoshi knew what to say at that moment. Ryoko just seemed to remain awfully calm about the situation, which didn't really seem like something that she would normally do. It kind of startled Washu that she was acting the way that she was over a situation that would have once infuriated her if it was brought up. What Ryoko did next surprised her even more.
Ryoko mere stood up and said, "Forget this. I don't really feel like arguing about it." She then floated into the air and before anyone could utter a word, she was gone and no one knew where she was at.
"That was, odd," muttered Ayeka as she looked at the area where Ryoko had been only a few moments before. "She seemed awfully quiet, which is anything but her usually annoying, talkative self," muttered Ayeka but she merely shrugged her shoulders and walked out of the room.
Washu and Mihoshi were awfully quiet after the two of them had left. Mihoshi, being as dense as she was, even realized that some didn't seem right with Ryoko to not like to talk about how much she hated Sakuya with Ayeka. The two of them knew that something was up.
"Um Washu, You don't think that Ryoko knows, do you?" asked a worried Mihoshi. She was definitely worried for their lives at that moment. 'But then again, she was only really quiet. Maybe something else is bugging her,' thought Mihoshi trying to think for once.
I really have no idea. I admit that her behavior is very strange for her but I am sure that if she knew there would definitely be something destroyed at this point. Then again, it is impossible to know what exactly is going on through Ryoko's head even for the greatest scientific genius in the universe," said Washu having the same doubts as Mihoshi. "At least we know for sure that Ayeka doesn't know so we are at least safe for a little while longer, even if Ryoko actually know," said Washu after seeing Ayeka ac t as her normal princess self.

'Would I even be able to make Tenchi as happy as he was when he was with Sakuya?' Ryoko asked herself while floating freely through the air. 'She is back, I am sure of that. It doesn't mean that I have to be happy about it but I guess I really have no say in the matter. If I did then she wouldn't be here again, but I guess it makes Tenchi happy because in these past few weeks he has been much happier then he has been this entire year since he left Tokyo. Sure he can put a smile on his face but I could tell that he was unhappy on the inside. Time for me to decide on what I am going to do,' she thought while looking over the city off in the distance.

"Oh wow, take a look at all of these," said an excited Sasami as she looked through the windows of the stores around them. "Hey Yugi, come over here and take a look," Sasami yelled to Yugi who was walking beside Tenchi and Sakuya.
"Right," said Yugi as she ran up to Sasami with a smile on her face. "Wow, you are right, those are very nice," said Yugi with a smile plastered on her face as well. It was something that you wouldn't have seen before but now she felt better than she did a year before because she had many true friends and was trying to put her past behind her.
"She seems very different Tenchi. I may not have known Yugi for very long and not under the best circumstances at the time but I can that she has really changed," said Sakuya while she walked alongside Tenchi with her arm wrapped around his.
"That is the way that she wanted it. I stopped her and then she decided to be put into a sleep until she turned into a better person. At the moment it looks like she succeeded in her task. How are the two of you getting along for now?" asked Tenchi with a smile as the two of them continued to walk down the peaceful streets.
"She is very nice. She also continues to apologize for what she did which goes to show that she really does feel bad. I admit that when I first saw her that I was a bit scared but see how much she has changed made me feel better," admitted Sakuya watching Yugi and Sasami continue to look at the displays with bright smiles on their faces. "I think that I am willing to put the past behind me," said Sakuya with a smile.
"I wish that Ryoko and Ayeka were the same way. They would probably drag out a grudge to their graves if they wanted to. I would be glad to tell everyone that you are back if the two of them didn't hold such a grudge," Tenchi said sadly but he seemed to immediately brighten up. "I am sure that overtime things might get better and then I might be able to do that," he said with a bright smile on his face.
"I hope so," said Sakuya with a sad smile. She looked up at the sky and the setting sun. "Maybe we should head back, it is starting to get late and the two of them will probably come looking for you like that one time," said Sakuya a bit reluctantly because she didn't want to leave Tenchi's side.
"I guess you're right. Sasami, Yugi, it is time to go!" yelled Tenchi since the two of them had run ahead. He notice them stop and with hung head they walked slowly back to the two of them. "Don't give me that, it is time to go," said Tenchi with a laugh when they were pouting when the two of them reached Tenchi and Sakuya.
The four of them walked in a silence until they reached Sakuya's apartment. "I'll talk to you tomorrow Sakuya," said Tenchi before he gave her a quick kiss. He would have loved more but he knew that he had to hurry or face the wrath of Ryoko and Ayeka.
"Ok then," said Sakuya with a smile before she disappeared behind her door. She listened as the three of them walked away leaving her alone in her apartment. She felt lonely but she knew that she had no choice. She was at least happy that she got to spend a lot of time with Tenchi.
Sakuya gave off a small sigh as she walked into the small kitchen that she had. She grabbed a soda but then there was a knock on their door. Sakuya walked to the door expecting to see Tenchi but what she saw was probably the biggest surprise of her life.
"Ah, good, you are finally awake. You have been out nearly a day," said Washu with a smile as she walked out of the shadows towards Yugi. "Don't move too much, you need some rest,' said Washu when she saw Yugi try to stand up only to fall onto the table again.
