For Reviewing!!!
THE REASON FOR ME NOT UPDATING WHEN I SAID I WOULD: FF.net had BIG technical difficulties, today is the 28th of June and I still can't log on to my stories to update them at all! WHAT AN OUTRAGE!! I still have to put out chapter 24 on my other story (I already wrote it, just need to post it up) but meanwhile I'll do this chapter.
~*~
Trunks just shook his head form side to side and mumbled,
"Poor Goten."
Marron and Tenoko both saw the blond woman wheel Goten out of the large reception room, and naturally got curious so they headed off the dance floor and out towards where the lavender hared Prince was seated, a bit taken back by the scene that had just occurred before him.
"What was all that about?" Tenoko asked inquisitively, taking her seat next to the clear lagoon eyed Prince, who was currently wearing his infamous sly look.
"Goten would kill me if I told anyone." Trunks answered, leaning back in his chair to show his wistfulness.
"Where did that blond lady take him?" Marron asked, hiding her concern very beautifully from both her new friend, and the Prince.
"To the hospital." Trunks stated passively, wanting to prod the sapphire- eyed girl into showing a bit of feeling towards his ebony hared friend so that he could use the information later.just incase.
~*~Meanwhile, over at Gohan's place~*~ "I REALLY have to go now, who knows what I've not stopped and it's all because of you and your darn cravings." Gohan said in a hurried tone of voice, as he clipped his long flowing midnight cape to his best formal armor.
"What? Are you saying you don't like my cravings.don't tell me that you did not like our little adventure." Videl said with a smirk smacked plainly on her plump lips, knowing well that her husband looked forward to every single one of her "cravings".
".I'll get back to you on that, right now I've really gotta go. See you later tonight love!" Gohan said, closing the thick wooden door behind him.
~*~On the other side of the universe, on a distant planet by Jurai~*~ "Why did I leave her? I should have never left her side.if only I would have known that she carried my child, I know things would have turned out different." The young looking dark brown hared Emperor said out loud, speaking to no one in particular. (Except maybe the long deceased guardians who stood in the form of wooden logs, forever silent.) (If your guessing that this is the planet where in "Tenchi Universe" was forgotten Jurai territory where the two Royal Guardians Azaka and Kamidaki were resurrected then you are 100% right.)
*** Who makes The sun light up my shadows When the darkness tries to follow me ***
"It was fate, nothing would have changed, even if you didn't leave, Your Majesty." A shadowed figure answered, hiding in the safety of the darkness that was provided by the many entwined tree trunks and branches.
*** Who makes The air that brings me life So I can breathe the love that's given to me ***
'That voice! I know it from anywhere!' Tenchi thought, his whole demeanor changing from portraying sorrow to oozing excitement that was barely contained in his compact mortal form. "Ryoko?" He asked, surprise clearly in his now deep empowering voice.
*** You make everything good Everything wonderful You grace my days and heaven fills my view Let's forever sing You make everything pure Everything beautiful You make me see the only thing that's true It's you ***
Over the years since before the affair between Tenchi and his love, Ryoko, noticeable physical changes took place. Tenchi had long ago begun to let his hair grow, ever since he learned of the position that he had to take up in Jurai. He learned from his grandfather that the reasons for letting hair grow beyond the limits of the jaw line was because of the unique way of the Jurai. In their culture it was expected to see the royal males in long hair, not only because it set them apart from the commoners, but also because it signified inner strength, power, and wisdom. On Jurai people live much longer lives than humans on Earth do, therefore making it almost impossible for one to assume the age of a Jurian. Tenchi's real age is 34, although his physical age says that he is not a day older than 22. His face was no longer round and childlike looking; his features had dramatically narrowed out, pointing out in just the right places, making him look like his grandfather when he was his age. His eyes were still the soft claming tone of brown, but now they gleamed with something besides kindness, his deep pools of chocolate now held the intensity of unimaginable power. Only one word came into Ryoko's mind when her lover's silhouette was hit with a sudden flash of light provided by the twelve full moons encircling the small planet, exposing his astonishing hansom features. 'Wow.'
*** Who makes The waters of my sorrow part And leads the gladness into my heart ***
The same light that had exposed her love had now made its way toward her, casting all forms of darkness away; making her shielding shadowy refuge wither away in fear from the simple form of a bright wisp of dancing moon light. Tenshi noticed that Ryoko too, had gone through some physical changes, all- adding on to her infallible forbidden looking beauty. The years had done her well instead of putrid, (considering her true age O.O) like a lump of coal going under the purification of time, it will only get prettier until it reaches its peak of radiance; the form of a breathtakingly exquisite diamond. That described the forbidden beauty known as Ryoko very well, being a bit modest, that is. She had the brilliance of the stars weaved into her silvery mane of bold massive locks of spiky hair, which seemed weightless because of the way they stood; waving slightly with the light breeze, bringing her intoxicating sent to grace the nostrils of the stunned Jurian Emperor. Her face had grown hard from her occupation as a notorious Space Pirate making her whole essence seem unruly, chiseled to perfection in the eyes of criminals. Which, in turn, contrasted her eyes immensely for they betrayed her whole deportment and held within their glistening depths a love that only a mother could posses. It was always her eyes that gave her away; she could not hide her true self from those who knew her well. Her golden orbs had only gotten more impacting, they practically glowed, and emitted unexplainable inner warmth that affected even the coldest hearts in the universe; whether or not it was received openly was another thing. The awestruck Emperor of Jurai thought one word during the short instant of bliss before a cloud overhead concealed the sparkling moon, encouraging the inky once superficial shadows to grow in size and thickness. '.Incredible.'
*** Who makes The rivers run and wash away And clean my soul to make a new start ***
Tenchi was at a lost for words as he just stood there, stupefied, with is mouth agape and his mind numb, unable to think right; incapable to form a rational thought. His body reacted differently though; as if being possessed his legs started to move; the next stride becoming faster than the last as he nearly ran to Ryoko's now dark figure.
*** You make everything good Everything wonderful You grace my days and heaven fills my view Let's forever sing You make everything pure Everything beautiful You make me see the only thing that's true Its you ***
Ryoko too, just stood there lethargically, incompetent of doing anything outside of standing there flabbergasted, awaiting what Tenchi was going to do next. Within a few seconds she found her self in the strong masculine arms of the man she loved, held in a warm comforting embrace that she hoped would never end. He had closed the distance between the two beings and brought her to him in a tight hug, one that he wished would never break. The two stayed that way for a long while before one of them spoke up, no longer in a state of stupor.
*** You hung the moon You placed the stars that sine your love for me I hope all that I do Will show reflections of you ***
"Tenchi, we shouldn't be doing this." Ryoko stated quickly, her logic battling against her will in a fierce stand off.
"And I shouldn't love you, but I still do." He responded, not letting go of her, not wanting for her to escape from him like she did years ago. He was not about to let that happen again, not when he could prevent it.
Ryoko gathered all of the power within herself to say what she was about to, for she knew that what she was about to say would kill the moment and go against the love that she still had for the man before her. "Let go of me Tenchi. My love for you died long ago when you dumped me for that Princess Ayeka." She said, venom entwined with her low menacing voice that pierced his heart.
Tenchi was hurt but decided on a course of action that maybe would just drive her further away from him but he had to try. He grabbed on to her shoulders and pushed her a foot away, putting some distance between both of their faces. Then he released her shoulders only to have his hands hold on to her neck, his thumbs under her chin forcing her to look strait into his eyes. "Tell me you don't love me while looking into my eyes, then I will believe you." He said, his chocolate orbs digging into her golden ones, searching for something, anything that would indicate love for him.
*** You make everything good Everything wonderful You grace my days and heaven fills my view Let's forever sing You make everything pure Everything beautiful You make me see the only thing that's true It's you ***
Ryoko just gazed into his soul, unable to tell him a lie while looking at him. 'DAMN TENCHI! How am I suppose to tell you I don't love you when your so close to me that I could just tippy toe to you and kiss you any second!?' She thought, her eyes portraying the turmoil that was occurring within her. "I.I-" Ryoko started to say but was cut off by her love placing a finger on her lips, stopping her from continuing.
"Your eyes say it all." Tenchi said, removing his finger from her pouted lips. He lowered his head, his lips inching closer to hers, as he closed his eyes. Ryoko closed her eyes as well, willing for the few inches between them to close rapidly so that she could feel him again.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Ain't I a stinker? What an awful place to leave it as a cliffhanger huh? Well don't worry, the more reviews I get the sooner I update so, click on the lovely blue button on the bottom left hand corner of the screen and review!! Remember no cussing. I do however don't mind death threats because to tell you all the truth I am threatening myself to hurry up and get the next chapter out or else I'll get Vegeta to crank up the gravity on the training facility and throw me in there. ^^; I at least want 10 new reviews for this chapter, or else no update. The reason I've hired my expectations considering the reviews is this: I worked SUPER hard on this chapter, more on the scene between Ryoko and Tenchi. If any of you have ever taken a writing class then you know about the way the teachers rate your writing, a 1-4 right?.well that romantic scene is rated a LOT more than a four, if you know what I mean. ^-^ Besides, I hardly ever ask you guys to give me a certain amount of reviews so this time won't hurt. (I hope.) Please, I ask of you, ::Gets on knees:: Review me, and get your pals to review me, and maybe make the review five lines of compleat sentences long. ^-^ (The complete sentence part is bit much for some of you so, I'll do with a super long run-on. ^^;) If I get over 13 NON-THREATNING AND NON-HURRY-IT-UP reviews on this chapter with a bunch of good comments in them, I promise you all a BIG FAT DETAILED romantic scene between TENCHI and RYOKO in the NEXT CHAPTER! And later on when the story unfolds a little more and the drama part kicks in I'll throw in an extra angst/romantic between Tenoko and Trunks along with Goten and Marron. I guess you can call that a bribe.and you are absolutely right, it is!
Over and out, Kioko
