Disclaimer: Um......... what do I say again? Oh yeah! I don't own Tenchi Muyo/ Tokyo.

So plz do not accuse me of doing so! How would a smalltown, homeschooler from

North Carolina, get the common sense to even THINK of something so ingenious?!

OMG, did I just say where I lived? This has been a very 'blonde' day. :-(

A/N: I don't know if any of you are familiar with a character sketch, cuz that's basically what

this is. I started out by doing them as school assignments; but I had FUN doing them. Whoo-hoo!

SCHOOL ROKS!!! coughcough brief sarcasm there. Newayz, here it is! My first character

sketch for NO reason; but just to please you guys.

Remember, NO bashing! p

Tainted

by dancer akina

She sat, solace, in her bedroom. Back against the wall. The others in the Masaki household were fast asleep by now. But it really didn't matter whether they were,

or weren't. She could do nothing but think back on her foolish actions from the previous

day. Who knows? Maybe Sakuya Kumashiro has a good heart; but that didn't stop the

anger, and intimidation, she was feeling right now. She had a right to be intimidated!

For Sakuya, had crossed dangerously in on her territory. She had thought, for sure,

that Sakuya had been the one who had stolen their gems. But, she was sadly proven

wrong by Tenchi himself. Why did he have to stick up for that desperate hussy?! Why

couldn't he have sided with the the one person, who wanted to be with him forever?!

The answer, was now inevitable. Tears, now stained eyes of amber, as she tried in

a desperate attempt to wipe them away. But to no avail, they began to cascade down

her radiant face. She knew, that she never had much in her life; but why is the one

man that she knows is right for her, with someone else? If her life was to be one

without happiness, why live at all? These questions would be left undiscovered, as

she sat there, sobbing freely. This was only about the third time in her life that she

had cried. She always thought of herself as too tough to ever let her weaknesses

show; but right now, she really didn't care. For now Ayeka, she thought, you're

the braw one. She then recalled back to her first day in piracy, to the day her

and Washu's ship was stranded here. She really didn't have a clue what she was

living for. That is, until she felt his soft caress trailing down from her cyan hair,

to her face. Although, when she was first knocked into that coma, she had nothing

on her mind but having her revenge on him. But in a matter of days, all the malice

her heart held for him faded away. He would just sit there with her every night, and

tell her about amusement parks, and what Japanese people did for fun. He also

told her about his mother, which she could instinctively tell was a difficult topic

for him. But what she, to this day, still could not figure out, is why he told her all

that stuff. Was that a sign of feelings directed towards her? Her tears had dried

by then; but she knew she shouldn't get her hopes up. But until she knew, she would

try to be a better person, and not act so irrationally. Because she knew it would

displease him. As she crawled into bed, she thought, Tenchi........ As long as I

change for you, my love, I know it won't be in vain. After all, who would want to be

with a girl who is tainted.

The End

SHORT!!! I know! Short, but to the point. To tell y'all the truth, I actually don't like this very much!

But if for some strange reason, you do, then that's enough for me! hehe :-). Newayz, could ya

even tell I was talking about Ryoko? Well, I was! Plz tell me what u think! R&R!
