So You Say You Love Me

Mrs.Taty12: I'm so sorry for taking so long to update in the last chap. I had it all written out in my computer. Then I got grounded 4 the rest of the summer by my mom! Why u ask? Because of my little annoying sister! She was getting into my business and I told her to shut up and mind her own business. My mom said, "you scream at her one more time ur grounded!" As always I forget her warning and end up calling her a little dumb nut (Nickname that I call her) and get grounded.

Sotianiya: U still r grounded so how come u up-dated?

Mrs.Taty: My dad let me on this one time because this whole summer I've been doing chores.

Sotianiya: So did u learn ur lesson this time?

Mrs.Taty: What lesson?

Sotianiya: Just start the story.

Mrs.Taty: ENJOY!

'I wonder what Tenchi was going to tell me?' thought Ryoko as she headed home with Tenchi and Sasami.

"So what were you two doing that kept you from eating?" asked Sasami trying to make a conversation and also wanting to know what was going on.

"We were just talking. What did you make for dinner Sasami, I'm starving!" Ryoko responded quickly trying to change the conversation.

"Oh nothing special (A/N I know you want details, but I can't think of anything to say, sorry). I know you don't want to talk about it, but are you two still fighting? And don't lie to me!" Sasami hates when people don't tell her the truth just because she looks little.

"Well, we kinda are." Whispered Ryoko, hoping that Sasami wouldn't get mad.

"Look, I don't know why you two are fighting, but I do know this. If you just talk to each other about it and try to understand, it will all work out just try it and if it doesn't work, we'll get Washu to help you." Sasami grinned knowing that mentioning Washu would get them to stop fighting.

"It's ok Sasami, there's no need to get Washu involved!" cried Tenchi in fear of what things Washu could possibly do to them.

"Yeah that's right see Tenchi and me are perfectly happy!" lied Ryoko while hugging Tenchi and facing Sasami. Tenchi and Ryoko where walking behind while Sasami skipped ahead.

"Who knew a little girl like Sasami would be so smart?" stated Ryoko.

"You never know how she will solve a problem." Tenchi was beginning to think Ryoko wasn't mad at him any more.

"Too bad she said all of that for nothing." Responded Ryoko.

"HUH? What do you mean?" asked a confused Tenchi.

"Do you think that all I said was just a little fit to get you to tell me who you love?!" screamed Ryoko making Sasami turn around with a disappointed face.

"No it's just that.."

"I can't believe you. You don't even say sorry or at least tell me that you understand, and your expecting me to be ok! I was listing to Ayeka and I was going to talk to you, but know I'm really pissed off!"

Sasami decided to leave them alone and she went home. 'Maybe they'll figure it out without anybody to tell them.' Thought Sasami.

"Ryoko I'm sorry, you got it all wrong I just don't even know what to say to you any more. Everything comes out wrong!" screamed Tenchi.

"Look at me, I'm just standing here screaming at you for something I made on my own. Sorry Tenchi, I didn't mean to be such trouble, I'm so stupid!" Ryoko cried as she flew off into the night. Tenchi was feeling so guilty for making so many people suffer. 'No Ryoko, I'm the one who's stupid for not telling you and everybody else the truth.' Tenchi thought as he walked home.

..........................................................................................

"Sasami, I thought you went to get Tenchi and Ryoko?" asked Kiyone.

"I did, but as we were walking home they started to fight again. I just left and let nature take it's course." Responded Sasami.

"Oh, but how is nature gonna help?" bubbled Mihoshi.

"No you bubble brain, she meant that, never mind you wouldn't understand it anyway."

"AWW, PLEASE KIYONE TELL ME!" cried Mihoshi as she followed Kiyone up the stairs.

"Everybody I'm home!" screamed Tenchi.

"Hi Tenchi!" Everybody screamed.

"So how did it go with Ryoko?" asked Ayeka wondering if they were still fighting.

"Well, she was really mad at me when she flew away." Said Tenchi with the saddest face on earth.

"Tenchi, can I talk to you for a minute," every body in the dinning room was staring intently at them, "ALONE?!" she finished.

"Sure, Ayeka." Tenchi answered unsure of what it was about, but with a little hunch it was about Ryoko.

"Meet me upstairs in your room after you finish eating." Ayeka seemed very serious when she talked to Tenchi. That made him think that she was mad at him too.

..........................................................................................

(After dinner)

"UM, You wanted to talk to me?" asked Tenchi a bit nervous.

"Yes, it's about what's going on with you and Ryoko. Do you even know exactly why she's mad?" she asked.

"Because I haven't told her whom I love?" he guessed.

"No Lord Tenchi, it's not only that!" Ayeka was getting furious because she never thought Tenchi could be so blind. "You're torturing all of us! You should know whom you love by now! Why can't you just get it over with? Look, Ryoko is getting really up-set and so am I we just want you to tell us, and then we'll decide what we'll do. Don't worry; we will all stay friends, that's a promise." Assured Ayeka. She finally felt this would all end and every one would know whom he loves for sure.

"Your right Ayeka, as soon as we find Ryoko, you'll all know who I love. Thanks a lot Ayeka. Lets tell every one to look for Ryoko with us, come on." Said Tenchi.

'This is it every one will know, I better get ready for the crying.' Thought Tenchi as he headed down stairs.

"Sasami, can you please tell everyone in the kitchen to come help me look for Ryoko?" asked Tenchi.

"Sure, are you two gonna stop fighting?" Sasami asked with a serious tone.

"Yes, pretty soon the screaming will stop, but when I tell every one the truth it will probably begin again." Sighed Tenchi.

"The truth?" Sasami questioned.

"Yep, when we find Ryoko I'm telling every one who I love." Announced Tenchi. Everybody heard him announce that and they all stampede into the living room. All of them were asking him questions like how did he decide.

"After we find Ryoko, so lets go look for her!" He screamed over the shouting people.

..........................................................................................

"Ryoko! Ryoko, where are you?!" everyone was shouting Ryoko's name hoping she would hear them. Kiyone and Mihoshi went searching for her in the forest. Ryoko was on the roof top sleeping when Washu woke her up through the mind-link.

(Mind-link)

'What do you want Washu?'

'Is that the way to say hi to your mother, the greatest scientific genius in the Universe?'

'Fine, hello mother.'

'Tenchi and the rest of the family are looking for you. They're worried sick!

"Really, they're all looking for me? Or are you just telling me this to get me to come out?"

'Look down on the ground.' (A/N Hey, that rhymes)

Ryoko saw every body looking for her with worried faces.

'Thanks mom, you're the best!' Ryoko flew down to where everyone was.

"It's alright, I'm ok." She assured as everyone crowded around her.

"Ryoko, I thought maybe you tripped and fell in a hole." Cried Mihoshi

"Mihoshi, you're the clumsy one, Ryoko could fly anyways." Screamed Kiyone, once again losing all her patience.

"It was not my fault, the board tripped me!" argued Mihoshi while crying.

"Then I guess the whole universe is after you!" screamed Kiyone.

"IT IS? Kiyone hide me!" cried Mihoshi.

"Um, Ryoko I have to tell every one something, could you come in with us?" asked Tenchi.

"Fine." Ryoko gave up, besides she wanted to know what Tenchi was going to say.

(Inside)

"Ok, as all of you know I am going to tell you who I love. But I won't tell you until something is clear. It doesn't matter who I pick because we're always going to be family. I don't want you to cry anymore and you don't have to leave. If you do have to leave you are always welcome to come back. Everyone understand?" he asked.

"YES!"

"The person I love is, Ryoko." Tenchi said while waiting for everybody's reaction.

"I see, will you excuse me for a while Tenchi?" Ayeka ran into her room and Sasami followed her.

Everyone was really surprised at what he had just said.

"I knew it all along!" said Washu and Mihoshi at the same time.

"Yeah ok geniuses let's go give them some privacy." Kiyone said as she took Mihoshi and Washu by the ear.

"I never expected for you to pick me. I always thought you loved Ayeka." Cried Ryoko.

"Well, I always loved you Ryoko I just didn't have the guts to say it." Confessed Tenchi.

"Ryoko, please forgive, I love you so much, I can't stand you being mad at me."

"Well the truth is..."

DUN DUN DUN! Will Ryoko forgive Tenchi? Read, review, and find out! Thanks to all of the people who review, luv ya, TTNC!
