A/N: Sorry for neglecting my stories for so long.
It is four in the morning and I started at eleven. If it sucks I apologies
but I wrote this in six hours after a long bike ride and house work. Right
now I am dead tired so I am going to bed.
This story has taken a new turn, mainly because I couldn't get back into the old story line. If you are confused than, I am sorry but you will just have to read because all will be reveled in time. Just to warn, this is going to be pretty screwed up for a little while so deal with it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Tenchi, Ryoko, or Sakuya. Plus I'm flat broke so don't sue me please.
Saying goodbye Chapter 4
Tenchi stood in the shadow of a large ash. Or at least he thought it was an ash. The air was crisp and the morning dew sparkled like a thousand diamonds as the sun crested the hill behind him. The mountains beyond shrouded in mist made a majestic sight. But the beauty all around was lost to him. "Every time I come hear I always cry, even though I tell myself I won't." He whispers to the gravestone before him. He sighs deeply, as a tear roles down his cheek.
"Why did it have to be like this, WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS." He yells towards the sky.
This had become a daily ritual for him. Every morning before he went to work he would always visit her. He knew he should move on but he just couldn't. What could he say he missed Ryoko. And things didn't seem to be getting better. He set the new bouquet of roses in the vase at the foot of the stone, then stood and left throwing the day old ones in the trash as he exited the cemetery.
'three years since she died and I cant bring myself to move on. Hmmf I'm so pathetic.'
"DAVID GET BACK HERE, IM GUNNU KILL YOU." A young girl screamed as she chased the offending boy. He had stolen her wallet again.
"You have to catch me first." He called as he ran through a gate, slamming it shut behind him.
She jumped onto the fence and shoved herself into the air using the fence as a springboard, she flipped in mid air and landed in front of "David".
He gave a yelp of dismay and flipped backwards narrowly avoiding the hand that threatened to squeeze his throat.
The girl lunched another attack and he dodged this one with more precisions, lunching his own offensive snapping a kick at the back of the girls knee as she stumbled past. She pitched backwards with a yelp, puling her chin in and steeling for the impact of the concrete. But it never came.
She found herself staring into the shining green eyes of her friend David Kusinagi, who also happened to be the culprit. "David" she growled menacingly, grabbing his scraggily brown hair.
He flashed a white smile and lifted her up. "Here" he said handing her the wallet.
He knew he could have gotten out of the predicament without giving up his "confiscated" McDonalds money, but Sakuya was his best friend. Plus the sparkle in her eyes as she let go of his hair was worth it. He stared after her as she walked into the building, swaying her hips ever so slightly. Almost unnoticeable, but David noticed. A few moments later she stuck her head out the door "are you coming or do you want to be late for class."
Three and a half hours later found Tenchi sitting at his desk. It was lunch so he had an hour to himself, and he took advantage of it by doing something that helped him pass the time. Writing songs. Songs that had nothing to do with love, death, or things that reminded him of Ryoko.
He strummed a few cords and wrote something in his little notepad that he put all of his songs in.
"Uncle Tenchi"
He jumped slightly and looked up. "Oo its just you two." He nodded to his cousin and her friend, putting his notebook back into his shirt pocket. "Class doesn't start for another forty five minuets. What are you doing?"
"Dave was worried about you so we decided to stop by."
"Hay, you aren't laying this one on me." The young man yipped.
Tenchi just laughed as the squabbled back and forth. They were always good for a laugh.
Ever since Sakuya had come to stay with him three and a half years ago she and this young man had been steadfast friends. But now it seemed that things were advancing.
He had helped the girl through a tuff time. After her parents died in a car crash she came to the states to live with her cousin. The boy stood by her. They were finally turning into more than friends, hopefully. Sometimes at night Tenchi could hear the girl talking to herself about how confusing things got between the two but that was something that would come up later. Well why don't you guys sit down. What's happening this weekend?" Tenchi asked Sakuya. "Well we were kind of wondering if we could go visit grandpa and do some training? Its alright with David's parents." "We'll see. It might be nice to get out."
"Good afternoon Mr. Masaki." Called one of the students that were now entering the class. Lunch was over.
David leapt back narrowly avoiding the shinai as it swept past his head. Sweat dripped down his face. As Sakuya thrust toward him he ducked to the side and slipped under her guard. His fist connected with her stomach and she slid back slightly. Regaining her composure just in time to bring her shinai up to block the kick that threatened to send her flying into the wall. "So, are you enjoying the trip?" He asked as he launched another attack. "Yes, its always fun to kick you ass." "You may hit harder than anyone I know, but you have to actually connect to kick my ass." She smiled and winked at him, stopping him dead in his tracks. A blush slowly spread across his cheeks. He was knocked out of his stupor as a blow to his ribs sent him sprawling. "No fair." Dave shouted as he jumped up. "That was so not nice.' Sakuya smiled and giggled slightly. Barreling him over, and bouncing into his lap so he couldn't get up. "I can't beat you directly so I resort to fighting dirty."
Tenchi and His grandfather watched the two from the door. "As I recall, you and a certain young lady were like that a few years ago." Katsuhito said as he walked away from the training hall leaving the two teens to enjoy the rest of their training. (If you could call shameless flirting training.) Tenchi watches for a few more moments before shaking his head and stepping out the door.
Sakuya sat on the balcony of her room. 'The view is wonderful.' She thought to herself. 'I wonder what Dave is doing.'
She mentally smacked herself. 'Why am I thinking about him, all he dose is annoy me, and tease me, and smile at me, and make me laugh, and care... Ok so maybe he is nice but he's my best friend.'
"Why dose he cause me so many problems?"
"Who?"
Sakuya jumped. She looked over and found David standing on the railing of her balcony.
"Who causes you so much trouble?" He repeated. Staring at her questioningly.
She blushed deeply at being caught thinking about him.
"Did you need something?" She asked.
"Just wanted to say goodnight." He said as he hoped down next to her. "And I thought that you might be convinced to apologies for the dirty trick during our match."
"Well I'm not apologizing so go away."
"Not quite yet." He swept her into his arms. He broke the embrace quickly, not giving her time to react. After the quick hug he hoped across the gap between the balconies. "Good night" He called, before heading into his room.
Sakuya stood there staring after him. She sighed loudly and turned. 'He has very strong arms' she marveled as she made her final preparations for bed.
