I know, I know what y'all thinking. Y'all are thinking, 'What the hell took him so long?' Well I have a perfectly good reason for why it's taken me this long to update this fic. And that reason would be.. Cause I didn't feel like it! So Nyah! (Sticks tongue out) No seriously.. I've been trying to get older fics done... but than I got sidetracked from doing that with a new story lol. So things haven't been working as planned ya know? Anyways... Without further ado, I give you the long awaited chapter of Worst Guardian Angel Ever!

Disclaimer- Nope... Definitely don't own Tenchi Muyo... If I did I would of killed Tenchi off early in the series for being such an indecisive moron. (Stares) What? He is! All them women, and he doesn't have the balls to pick one! Damn just pick all of them Tenchi!

Sick Day

"Why didn't you tell me he was alive?" Ryoko practically screams in the Goddess's face, her anger reaching new limits. For good reasons too. The man, who not only ruined her life but also took it, turns out to be alive, after she had thought for the longest time had died.

Tsunami remains calm and collected, seemingly unfazed by Ryoko's fury, "For the exact reaction I'm getting now." She answers evenly, "I knew you would become upset if you found out he survived."

Ryoko can feel her eye twitch as she uses ever once of willpower in her not to smack Tsunami or better yet, punch her. "Even if he survived.. he should have died from old age." Ryoko comments, earning a small smile from Tsunami. Ryoko narrows her eyes suspiciously, "I have a suspicion that I haven't been dead as long as I believe."

"You're quite right Ryoko." Tsunami replies, "You've been dead for only two years now."

"Two years?" Ryoko repeats questioningly, her mouth parting slightly in surprise. Shaking herself out of her shock she fixes a her glare back on the Goddess, "But how is that possible? I've been up here for centuries!"

Tsunami gives a small laugh, "True... that's what it seems like. But Heaven has no meaning of time. You quickly lose track of actual time considering there's no night or day. So what seems like centuries up here may actually be a year on the surface, or two in your case."

Ryoko crosses her arms over her chest and taps her foot impatiently, her lips set in a scowl, "So if you knew Kagato was really alive, why did you send me down to watch over Tenchi? You most of known I would of eventually found out."

For once, Tsunami doesn't have a real answer for Ryoko, "I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time." Truthfully, she knows Ryoko isn't cut out to be a guardian angel. But when it came down to the last minute of Tenchi's fate changing, her choices were scarce at the time. It was either Ryoko or Ayeaka. Tsunami chose Ryoko. By the look of things, Ryoko isn't going to be satisfied with her answer. Releasing a tired breath, Tsunami tries to give a better answer, "Ryoko. I told you before that I chose you because you yourself had a similar life as Tenchi. That is one of the reasons I chose you. But not the main one." Ryoko gives a look of confusion, "Yes I knew if I had you watch over the boy that you would find out that Kagato is alive. That Ryoko, is the reason why I chose you."

Ryoko stands there, blinking in confusion, "You wanted me to find out that Kagato is alive." She stated more than questioned. Tsunami nods her head, "But why? You most of known that I would do everything in my power to finish him off once and for all." 'And to keep him away from Tenchi.' She adds to herself.

Tsunami's lips curl up slightly at the comment, "Yes, I know. Ryoko, you don't seem to be understanding what I'm saying." Ryoko opens her mouth to comment but Tsunami shakes her head, cutting her off, "I WANT you to get rid of Kagato." Ryoko's arms hang at her side as she stares at the Goddess in stunned silence. Tsunami gives a short laugh, "Yes, I suppose it's not very godly of me to send someone to the surface to take care of a living person. But Kagato isn't the only one I want you to take care of."

"What? There's someone else?" Now Ryoko is sure she lost her mind. Would Tsunami really be saying these things? And asking her to actually kill someone.

"Yes... I want you to help Tenchi kill his 'boss' when they finally meet. Tenchi won't be able to do it himself." Tsunami explains, her tone dropping into a whisper.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Ryoko asks confused. "I know Tenchi isn't a person who would kill someone to solve his own problems. I know that from that time with Azaka and Kimedaki. But Tenchi will protect himself, even if it means taking the life of another. After all, he's done it once before."

Tsunami closes her eyes, and hangs her head, suddenly feeling ashamed. "Ryoko... I know things that will occur, it's both a curse and a blessing. I can't stop them from happening but I can try to prepare for them when they come. Tenchi will not bring himself to deal the final blow, he won't be able to. I can't risk telling you why, but if it makes things easier for you, I will tell you this. When dealing the final blow to Tenchi's boss just remember that Kagato and Tenchi's boss are partners."

"..." Ryoko isn't sure if that helps her or not. She suspects, no.. knows that there's more to what Tsunami is telling her. Something she doesn't want to tell her. Could it be because she could stop something from happening, and as an affect she alters the course of someone's destiny...'Wait a minute.. she wants me to kill two people... I'm not alive... wouldn't these actions change destiny's and alter Fate.' Usually Ryoko wouldn't care for consequences of her actions. But what if she does something that affects Tenchi... 'Tenchi... He's suppose to die... but when.. is it when he meets his boss? Is that why he isn't able to deal the killing blow, because he dies?'

Ryoko's brows furrow in thought as the questions continue to rack her brain, "Tsunami... If I were to kill these two people... wouldn't I cause Fate to crash?"

"I'm flattered that you show concern for our system." Tsunami says, obviously a bit surprised that Ryoko had given Fate a single thought in the matter, "To answer your question Ryoko... It's a possibility. But the results are worth it. Without those two people, the city's corrupted citizens and businesses will begin to clean themselves up, making the lives of others more easier. The murders and crimes will lower without the two leaders of crime present. If Fate is to crash as a result, we'll just have to fix it, we've done it times in the past, it just takes time. Besides.. "Tsunami gives a small amused smile, "With the most brilliant universal scientist here in Heaven, we can fix anything."

"I see..." Ryoko replies albeit, sounding a bit unsure. A sudden thought goes through Ryoko's mind, "If I do this, what do I get out of it?"

"Haven't you ever done something for someone that doesn't come with a reward of some sort." Tsunami shakes her head in disapproval.

"No. So what do I get out of this arrangement?" Ryoko asks again.

"Well... You get your revenge, Ryoko." Tsunami replies with a smile, "Shouldn't that be enough?"

Ryoko crosses her arms as she narrows her eyes, "First of all, I don't just go an kill someone for revenge. I only tried killing that bastard before because it was the only way for me to be free. And second of all, I really don't have to worry about that bastard, I'm dead. He's not my problem."

"If I recall correctly. It was you Ryoko that said, and I quote, 'I would do everything in my power to finish him off once and for all.'" Ryoko didn't reply, only scowled. Tsunami sighs, giving up on trying to get out of any sort of rewards. "Fine. Alright Ryoko, what is it you want?" She's asks, although she already has a pretty good idea what 'it is' that Ryoko wants.

A smirk appears across Ryoko's lips, "It's nothing too big... Just to live again."

"I'm sorry Ryoko, but I can't do that." Tsunami replies.

"Don't lie to me Tsunami, I know you can. I saw Mihoushi, she's alive. You brought her back to life. So you can do the same for me." Ryoko voice raises as she grows impatient.

"You don't understand Ryoko. The reason why Mihoushi was able to be brought back to life was because I took it. She was never suppose to die. But at the time I had no choice." Tsunami explains. "I had to give it back to her eventually."

"Fine... If you can't give me life, then don't take Tenchi's."

"It's not mine for the taking. His destiny is to die." Tsunami could tell Ryoko was quickly becoming angry, "Look... I can try to grant your first one. I'm not entirely sure if I can do it, especially with your record..." Tsunami trails off a bit. She shakes herself back to, "But I will try, but after you do as I ask."

Ryoko's lips curl up slightly as she remembers hearing response. True... she may not get what she wants, but there's a possibility. She could get both of her wishes if she tries hard enough. All she has to do is keep Tenchi alive when he meets his boss. Than if she's lucky enough, she'll be brought back to the land of the living and than she'll have a happily ever after with her Tenchi. But first thing's first, she has to bring Tenchi to Kagato. That's saying that Kagato's 'business' is in the same place it was two years ago. He might have moved it somewhere else since she kind of did a number on the place.

"Tenchi." Ryoko turns her gaze towards the front door of the apartment as Sasami opens the door and enters. Turning her gaze towards the clock on the wall, Ryoko sees it's six in the morning. Kiyone obviously has to go to work, otherwise she wouldn't have dropped the girl off so early. Ryoko stays in her spot, sitting on top of the television with Tenchi sleeping on the couch in front of her. She watches amused as Sasami runs around the couch and begins shaking Tenchi's shoulders, "Tenchi! Wakey Wakey!" Sasami says, a bit too cheerfully for this early in the morning. The little girl was anxious to ask Tenchi about last night and what she saw, so she continues to shake him.

Only Tenchi isn't waking up. He continued to be unresponsive to Sasami's calls and shakes. Ryoko's chest knots up as she watches fearfully as Tenchi still hasn't woke up. 'No... he can't be...'

Ryoko isn't the only one who's growing worried, Sasami is becoming frightened as Tenchi fails to make a response, "Tenchi? Tenchi, please wake up, you're scarring me." Sasami says in the dark apartment. Desperate, Sasami pushes Tenchi off the couch.

She receives the desired affect, Tenchi falls off the couch, landing onto the hard floor. He gives a sick groan, telling both Sasami and Ryoko that he is in fact alive. Tenchi untangles his feet from the blanket before glancing up at Sasami, "Oh Sasami, you're-" Tenchi is cut off as his body is racked with coughs.

"Are you alright Tenchi?" Sasami asks concerned.

Tenchi nods his head, "I'm just tired. I'm fine. I'm just tired."

"I don't know.." Sasami trails off. Reaching her hand out, she places the back of her hand on Tenchi's forehead. She quickly pulls back, surprised by how hot his forehead is, "Tenchi you're sick. You're burning up." Sasami gives a small scowl as she places her fists on her hips, "That's what happens when you don't dress properly when ice skating."

"Wha-" Tenchi begins coughing again. Ryoko remains in her seat, feeling surprised, amused, and guilty that Tenchi is sick.

"Oh yeah.." Sasami says suddenly remembering, "Kiyone, Mihoushi, and I saw you at the skating rink in the park after we saw a movie."

Tenchi's cheeks heat up, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Oh. you did, did you?"

"But that's not important right now. " Sasami says, "What's important is you getting rest and getting better. I'm going to go make you some breakfast."

Before Tenchi is able to tell her not to worry about it, she's heading off into the kitchen, picking up Ryo-Oki on her way towards the kitchen. Tenchi groans a bit sickly before getting himself back up onto the couch. Finding that Sasami is no longer in the room, Ryoko flies over to Tenchi and hovers a foot above him, grinning down at him. Tenchi rolls his eyes at her, "I guess it wasn't such a great idea to go out after all."

"On the contrary my Tenchi, it was a wonderful idea. I got to watch you make a fool out of yourself on the ice." Ryoko laughs at the memory.

Tenchi raises an eyebrow at the 'My Tenchi,' but decides not to question it. "Thanks for reminding me." He mumbles feeling a bit stupid for trying to ice skate when he had no experience. It sure looked a lot easier than it really was.

"Aw.. Don't be like that. I'm sorry." Ryoko says, albeit not sincerely. It really is amusing to see Tenchi pouting about being sick. Of course it could just be the good mood she's in this morning. Tenchi mumbles something under his breath which sounds suspiciously like 'Yeah right.' Ryoko lays down on Tenchi and gives a wide smile, "How about I make it up to you, my dear Tenchi." Ryoko begins drawing circles on his chest, "Tell me what you want and I'll give it to you."

"Um..." Tenchi's knows his face is burning, partially from being sick and partially because of Ryoko's sudden 'friendliness.' He's not sure whether or not he wants to know what's gotten into his ghostly friend all of a sudden. Tenchi begins coughing a bit, feeling his throat becoming sorer with each cough. "Some water would be nice." He says once he gets his coughing under control.

Ryoko leaps off the couch, "Hey no problem. You want water, I'll get you water." She announces.

"Um.. Why don't I just ask Sasami." He says, having second thoughts.

"What? Think I can't do a simple task of getting water?" She asks, feeling a bit hurt.

"No.. it's just that you would have to go into the kitchen and get it, Sasami is in the kitchen." He points out.

"That's nothing, I'll just make sure to be careful." Ryoko smirks.

Tenchi sighs in defeat, knowing there wasn't going to be a way to persuade Ryoko into just letting him get Sasami to get it. "Fine.." As an after thought he adds, "You DO know where the water is right?"

Ryoko's eyes twitches, "Tenchi... Do I look like a complete idiot to you?" Ryoko cuts him off before he can respond, "Of course I know where the water is! Anyone with a half a brain knows where it is." Not wanting to stay around so Tenchi can insult her intelligence more, she heads off towards the kitchen.

Ryoko peeks into the kitchen from the doorway. She watches a moment as Sasami hums while she mixes a few things in a large bowl with Ryo-Oki perched on top of her head. Ryoko glances up at the cupboards above Sasami's head, where the cups are kept, 'Damn...' "Hmm..." Ryoko glances over to the sink and grins triumphantly at the sight of a glass sitting on the counter.

Flying over to the sink, Ryoko grabs the glass. One problem solved, but a new one has occurred. How to fill it without Sasami noticing. Ryoko's certain she'll notice if the sink is turned on. Ryoko's eyes light up as an answer comes to mind. 'Use the sink in the bathroom!' Ryoko quickly flies out of the kitchen, glass in hand, and heads over to the bathroom. Upon entering the bathroom, Ryoko turns the sink on, sticking her tongue out in disgust at the sight of brown water coming out of the sink. Ryoko waits a moment for the water to clear up, when it appears the brown dirty water has finally disappeared, leaving only clean clear water, Ryoko fills the glass up. She ignores the fact that, despite the water looks clean, it still smells quite bad.

Once she has the glass filled up, and sink turned off, Ryoko heads back towards the couch where Tenchi is resting. 'Tenchi really needs his pipes checked.' Ryoko thinks to herself as the image of the brown dirty water flashes through her mind. "Ten-chi!" Ryoko chimes. Tenchi groggily sits up, sniffling a bit in an attempt to clear his nose. "I got you some water." She announces a bit too cheerfully for the sick man.

"Uh.. thanks Ryoko." Tenchi says grabbing the glass from her hands. It doesn't occur to him that there's dirt specks floating in the water. The only thing Tenchi is concerned about is having some moisture in his dried throat. Bringing the glass to his mouth, Tenchi takes a large gulp of water, immediately regretting it as he chokes from the foul tasting water.

Ryoko grabs the glass from him before he drops it while he coughs, making an occasional gagging noise, "Tenchi, are you alright?" Ryoko asks, generally confused.

"Ryoko..." Tenchi coughs out, "Where'd you get the water?"

"Where else? The sink of course!" Ryoko announces.

Tenchi groans sickly, feeling his stomach do a sudden flip flop, "That water isn't filtered... You were suppose to get some from the container of water I put in the refrigerator." Ryoko mouths a silent 'Oh' Tenchi shudders from the after taste of the foul tasting water, "Don't worry about it."

Ryoko tilts her head to the side as she stares questioningly at the glass of water in her hands. 'It can't really be that bad, can it?' Ryoko shrugs her shoulders absentmindedly, 'Well... one way to find out.'

Tenchi closes his eyes, ready to get some more sleep. Glass shatters in front of in, causing him to sit up and stare as Ryoko clutches her throat, making gagging noises as she sticks her tongue out, her eyes appear to be watering. Tenchi glances down at the shattered glass and back up at Ryoko, quickly putting two and two together.

"Tenchi?" Sasami wanders out of the kitchen to see what the noise was. She quickly heads over to the shattered glass and than scowls at Tenchi, putting her hands on her hips, "Tenchi, if you were thirsty, you could have asked me to get you something."

"But." Tenchi tries to cut in.

"You shouldn't be up and about when you're sick. It'll slow down your recovery."

"But."

"Now I have to clean this up."

"I can take care-"

"You should be resting mister! Now go back to sleep!" Sasami orders as she scurries over to the small closet in the hallway where she can get a dustpan and a broom.

Tenchi shakes his head, ignoring the sounds of Ryoko's laughter. How is it that a small girl can have complete control of him? Tenchi blinks in confusion as he notices Sasami standing in front of him, arms crossed and with that infamous scowl across her face as she taps her foot impatiently. Tenchi scratches the back of his head, giving a nervous laugh before laying back down on the couch. He turns his back to her so he doesn't have to see whether she's still standing there or not. He can still hear Ryoko laughing behind him.

Tenchi let's a long sigh drag out as one thought goes through his mind, 'I hate being sick.'

Oops! Sorry to cut this so short... But this is the end... of the chapter that is. Heeheehee. This is more like a chapter to let y'all know that I am alive, and still working on this story. Heh heh... But this is better than nothing I'd say. Heh heh.. just in case any of ya are wondering... thought I don't know why you would be I got that whole 'brown dirty water' idea from my sink. See.. If we don't change the water filter the water begins to smell really bad and begins to change colors. That's why whenever I want a drink of water, I drink Shoprite water! lol.

Anyways, since I let you know I'm alive and still writing, let me know y'all are alive and still reviewing. Don't let this amazing offer pass you by! Press the little review button and you could very well win a prize... Not really... but it's a fun thought.
