Howdy everyone! Well, let's see here...I start school Thursday, oh what a WONDERFUL joy this is. (Sense sarcasm?) Well school is going to be slowing down the updates most likely, so sorry in advance if it does. But then again it may not because I usually type at night anyway, I'm just typing now because I got nothing else to do. Sigh... this summer sucked, it was nothing but rain really. Oh well, two years of high school left, then it's off to college I go =0P. Anyways enough of that crap, you guys came for the story not my BS, so onward!
Disclaimer- Twas the night before last, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except for me on the computer writing this annoying little piece of junk Disclaimer that makes me repeat myself over and over again so I'm reminded that I don't own Tenchi Muyo. It's a shame, If I did own Tenchi Muyo, I'd change the whole series around, making Ryoko arrive on Earth as a Space Pirate, but instead of staying she'd drag Tenchi off with her making him live like a Space Pirate... hmm... (thinks) That would be a pretty interesting new fic... (Shrugs) Too bad I already have too many other fics on hold as it is.
Chapter 12- Can't You See?
Knock! Knock! Knock! Tsunami glances up to her office door, "You may enter." The door opens and Washu enters the room. Tsunami gives a warm smile, "Miss Washu, how may I help you?"
The red head takes a seat in front of Tsunami's desk, "Well I happen to have some things that might interest you. Some strange happenings are occurring around that Tenchi fellow and the people he interacts with. It's having some strange reactions with Fate." Washu explains.
That catches Tsunami's full attention, "What are these strange happenings you speak of?"
"Well, one in particular is about a little girl named Sasami. The girl was suppose to die on the streets, but that Tenchi fellow found her and brought her home with him. Her death has been erased from Fate somehow." Washu explains, her tone showing her confusion.
Tsunami falls silent for a moment, "What of Fate? How is it reacting to this?"
Washu shrugs her shoulders, "That's the strangest thing, it's still on balance. In fact it's even rewriting the little girl's Fate. Also Tenchi changed the Fate of some serial killer named Sabato, he was suppose to be shot and killed by police, but he was captured and will get a lethal injection. Another girl by the name of Sakuya is still alive which Sabato was suppose to kill. And with all these changes, Fate seems to remain in balance, I don't understand, it's simply rewriting everyone's Fate that Tenchi comes in contact with. I didn't even know Fate good simply rewrite someone's destiny."
Silence falls in the room as Tsunami ponders the situation. After a few moments of silence Tsunami speaks, "What of Tenchi Masaki? Has his destiny changed again?"
Washu shakes her head, "No it's still the same." Washu stands and heads towards the door. She remembers something that she forgot to tell Tsunami and turns around, "By the way, he's becoming aware of Ryoko presence."
Tsunami nods her head, "Yes I know."
"I think you should tell Ryoko before it's to late. Believe it or not, she's beginning to like that boy. Who knows what she'll do once it happens and she didn't know about it." Washu says seriously.
Tsunami closes her eyes in thought, "It's best this way. If she knew she would try to stop the inevitable. There's nothing I nor she can do."
Washu shakes her head, "It doesn't make it right." She comments before leaving the room.
Tenchi places the grocery bags on the floor and scratches the back of his head, chuckling nervously as Kiyone stares at him, "Uh... hi. How long have you been here?" He asks.
"You never told me you had a little sister." Kiyone comments.
Tenchi gives a confused look, "Sister?" He repeats questioningly. He glances over to Sasami who's standing behind Kiyone, a knowing smile across her face. Realization dawns on him, "Oh yea, erm... Sasami. heh heh."
Kiyone narrows her eyes in suspicion, noticing Tenchi's nervousness. "So... how come I've never seen her around here before?" Kiyone asks, trying to catch Tenchi in his lie, if he is lying to her that is.
Sasami decides to jump in before Tenchi can answer, "Because I'm just visiting my big brother. Mom dropped me off here. I get to live with him while she goes off on a business trip for a few weeks." Sasami answers, a wide innocent smile spread across her face.
Kiyone doesn't buy it, she's not stupid. However she returns the smile, "Oh." She turns to Tenchi, "May I speak to you outside?"
"Uh... sure." Tenchi turns back to Sasami, "I brought home some food, if you're hungry it's in the grocery bags."
Sasami's eyes brighten up, "Oh I'll cook dinner!" She exclaims, running over to the bags. She picks them up and hurries into the kitchen. Ryoko decides to follow Sasami into the kitchen to see what she's going to attempt to cook.
Tenchi steps outside, followed by Kiyone who shuts the door behind her so Sasami can't here their discussion. Kiyone turns to Tenchi and crosses her arms, giving him a serious look, "Alright spill it. Who's the little girl?" She immediately questions.
"My sister." Tenchi replies quickly, too quickly.
Kiyone gives him a skeptical look, "I'm not stupid, you said you're whole family was killed."
"Actually I said the people in the were killed. My grandfather and father. My mother wasn't in the picture." Tenchi corrects.
Kiyone opens her mouth to say something but clamps it shut when she doesn't know what to say. 'Dammit he's right.' Kiyone let's out a breath to relieve some frustration, "Alright, then answer this question. Where has your mother been all this time. And why would she leave her child to live off the streets for years?" She knows it's rude to ask but she can't figure any other way to corner Tenchi.
Luckily for Tenchi however, he expected this question for a while now and already had an answer to it. "Truthfully, I don't know where she's been. She abandon me and my father when I was very young. As for the reason why she would leave me on the streets for all those years. I've been on a constant move until I could afford a place to stay, there was no way for her to find me." Tenchi says calmly.
Kiyone's brows lower in annoyance when she wasn't able to corner Tenchi, "Alright, if she left you when you're very young, why would she take that little girl with her and not you too?" She says with a smirk.
"Well..." Tenchi pauses in thought, "Sasami isn't really my sister." He sees Kiyone's smirk widen when she hears that, "She actually my half-sister, we have different fathers." Tenchi successfully kept his poker face, not allowing any traces of his lie to cross his face. Kiyone opens her mouth to say something, but Tenchi cuts her off, "Was there a particular reason why you're here?"
Kiyone crosses her arms, her face becoming expectant, "I found a record in the database about your family. It said your apartment burned down by an electrical fire, killing your family in the process." The surprise on Tenchi's face only appears briefly. Kiyone rubs her chin as she makes it look like she's thinking, "Strange, you said they were kill while we have records saying that your family died in a fireand that you ran away. Why is that..."
Tenchi scratches the back of his head giving a short chuckle, "Why are you so interested in me?"
Kiyone blinks at the question. She fights down the blush threatening to appear on her face, "I'm not interested in you!" She replies embarrassedly, "I am interested in what you're involved in. And don't tell me you aren't into anything because I don't buy that for a second."
"Then why don't you arrest me." Tenchi says flatly.
Kiyone places her hands on her hips, "For two reasons. One, I don't have any evidence of anything. And two, I can't see you as the type to get into any sort of things going around this city unless you feel threatened by something or more precisely someone."
Tenchi raises an eyebrow, "Uh..ok." He replies lamely
Kiyone gives out a tired sigh before rubbing her eyes. Not having sleep for the last twenty four hours can really be exhausting. 'There was something else I was suppose to do.' She thinks to herself but as much as she tries to, she can't remember what it was she wanted to do or ask. 'I need sleep.' She thinks to herself.
Kiyone shakes her head, ridding herself of the drowsiness. She glances back up to Tenchi, "I'll see you later." Tenchi nods a farewell before Kiyone begins heading down to her car, 'I need to call out of work today, I need to get some sleep.' Kiyone thinks as she yawns. She opens the driver's side door and gets in. She starts the car and drives off.
Tenchi shakes his head and walks back into his apartment, the delicious aroma of Sasami's cooking filling his nostrils. Just smelling whatever she's cooking makes Tenchi's mouth water. Tenchi heads over to the kitchen and walks in, "That's smells really good." He says as he enters the kitchen.
Sasami turns around from Tenchi's stove, her hands covered in cooking mitts and an apron tied around her waist. Ryo-Oki, Sasami's strange cat-rabbit looking pet is sitting on Sasami's shoulder making small 'mew' noises. "Thanks." Sasami says for Tenchi's compliment, all the while Tenchi wonders where Sasami got the apron and cooking mitts, he doesn't recall ever having them, but then again, it doesn't matter if what Sasami is cooking is as good as it smells.
"So what are you cooking?" Tenchi asks walking over to the stove to see what the delicious smell is that's coming from the frying pan.
Sasami shoots Tenchi away before he can grab anything, "It's steak and fried onions, It's not done yet so leave until I tell you!" Sasami begins pushing Tenchi out of the kitchen.
Tenchi chuckles as he's shoved out of the kitchen, "Alright alright. I'm going." He shakes his head as the kitchen door.
Ryoko laughs quietly to herself as she looks over the back of the couch, "How sad, getting kicked out of your own kitchen."
Tenchi chuckles, "Yea it is sad..." Both sets of eyes widen immediately, Tenchi quickly turns from the kitchen door and stares directly at, "Ryoko!?" Tenchi exclaims in surprise.
Ryoko's mouth drops in surprise, she quickly looks out the window, 'It's not night...' She thinks to herself, 'How the hell can he see me, and wait...' She quickly jumps to her feet, "You can hear me!?"
Tenchi brows lower in question, "Yea... Wait a second, I thought you were a mute.. And what are you doing in my house? And how do you even know where I live?"
"Tenchi?" Sasami calls from the kitchen before opening the door. She gives him a weird look, "Who are you talking to?" She asks curiously.
Tenchi looks down at Sasami and points to the cyan haired woman, "Well who do you think? I'm talking to her" Tenchi replies.
Sasami glances over to where Tenchi is pointing, after a moment she glances back up to Tenchi, "Who? There's no one there." Sasami says.
"What?" Tenchi says in disbelief as he looks back to Ryoko, giving her a confused look, "She's standing right there, how can you say there's no one there?" Ryoko just stands in her spot nervously, trying to figure out a way to solve her problem.
