Chapter Two



"Can't Believe"

"Tenchi, who is this?" Ryoko demanded.

Tenchi sighed. He knew this day was coming. Everyone in the house had welcomed his guest warmly, well except for Ayeka at first, but the princess, refusing to lose decorum, eventually gave in.

"This is Mishnome. She is my girlfriend."

"Your what?"

"Now, Ryoko, calm down. You knew this day was coming."

"You bring this, this thing home. You could have at least chosen Ayeka. That way I know our fighting wasn't in vain, but pick her, some random stranger."

"Ryoko, she's not a stranger, she's an old girlfriend of mine and it turns out we're going to college together."

"You told me that you didn't love her anymore/

But then you turn around and you walked out the door/ Now whether you go or if you stay babe/ I still be loving you anyway/ I know that I just can't stand the pain."

"An old girlfriend, wait a minute, I thought the only girl that you went out with was Sakuya."

"Mishnome and I got involve several months after Sakuya, I just didn't tell anyone because I was afraid of how you girls would react."

"How we'd react? You had Ayeka and me pining after you and pitying you when you had found someone else?" "Dinner's ready," interrupted Sasami.

Tenchi looked in the dining room, then back at Ryoko. It was obvious that dinner would not be going well tonight.

"Mishnome and I are going to go out for dinner. I think that it would be best for everyone."

"Very well, Tenchi," said Katshito, "it was a pleasure meeting you, Mishnome."

"Likewise, sir."

With that said, the couple walked out of the door.

"And I can't believe that she's the one you really love/

And I can't believe that she has your heart, / Cause it seems to me she's the one that you're thinking of/ And I can't believe that he is gone/ And she's the one that took your love away"

"Well you've done it Ryoko. You chased Tenchi and his girlfriend away. I hope your happy," yelled Ayeka.

"Ayeka, go to hell."

"Isn't that more appropriate for a demon such as yourself," the princess countered.

"You two need to stop arguing like children and act like adults," ironically enough, Washu was the one that just said that.

"Ryoko is the one causing the scene," complained Ayeka.

"Don't tell me that you're okay with Tenchi's decision either, Princess."

"Well, at least I didn't scare anyone off. Besides, it's time to eat. Sasami has worked very hard to prepare this meal."

*You're going to be alright, Ryoko* Wasu asked telepathically *I think I'm going to skip dinner and go to bed*

*Do what me to bring you your dinner?* *No*

"I can't believe that you're not in my life (life) /

So tell where did we go wrong (oh baby)/ So now that you're all I do is count the days/ I'm sorry that you didn't wanna stay/ But I will be loving you anyway"

It was eleven o'clock when Ryoko heard a noise from downstairs. She teleported downstairs to see what it was. To her dismay, it was Tenchi. He had just returned from his date. She saw the two them kissing.

"Great," she muttered.

"What was that?" asked Mishnome.

"I don't know," answered Tenchi. He turned around, but didn't see anything. It's probably Ryoko, he thought to himself.

Ryoko backed into a door, the door that led to Washu's lab. I can't take this anymore, she thought to herself. Washu was busy to work on a new invention and didn't notice Ryoko come in, tears trickling down her face.

"Ryoko, what's wrong?" the minute she say her daugher's face.

"He's kissing her. I can't believe it. He's kissing her. Why her and not me?"

"And I can't believe that she's the one you really love/

And I can't believe that she has your heart/ Cause it seems to me she's the one that you're thinking of. And I can't believe that he is gone/ And she's the one that took your love away"

"Ryoko, calm down."

"Calm down, I come to you for help and you tell me to calm down. Some mother you are."

As Washu walked closer to Ryoko, Ryoko would back up.

"I'm telling you to calm down before you have an accident in this lab. The inter-dimensional teleportation device on the counter behind you is very unstable. If you were to touch one of the chords on the ground, there's no telling where you would end up."

"What ever, Mom" she spat out in sarcasm while backing up.

"Ryoko, no"

At that moment, Ryoko tripped on one of the chords. Just as she was about to hit the ground she disappeared.

"Ryoko, Ryoko, where are you?" shouted Washu.

Meanwhile.

Inhuyasha was awakened by a sudden thump.

"Damn, and I was having such a nice nap to."

He ran to investigate the sound and found a girl instead.

"Dumb chick," he muttered until he saw her move. "Wait a minute, she looks like me," he exclaimed after noticing her cyan hair, cat ears and tail."

The girl opened her eyes. They were beautiful. (Wait a minute, this is probably some dumb broad who lost her way) he told himself. (No need to get excited.)

"Who are you," she asked? "Who are you?" he countered. "Look don't make me repeat myself, pal. I promise you it won't be pretty. Now telling me your damn name and where the hell I'm at."

He looked at her. Who ever she was, she sure wasn't another Kagome.
