Chapter 3: Dearest/Daughter

Ryoko and Tenchi watched in hope as Washu ran more tests on Sasami. Ryoko and Tenchi perked up in even more hope as Washu looked up from her hololaptop.

Washu turned to them with a frown, causing Tenchi to become distressed.

"Washu! What is it!"

"I have good news and bad news..."

------------------------------------------

IN ANOTHER PART OF THE UNIVERSE, OUT IN SPACE...

"What do you mean you can't locate the Masaki house!" Kiyone yelled as Yukinojo tried to keep her calm.

"What I mean is I cannot locate the Masaki house, Miss Kiyone!" Kiyone looked down and away, worried about the others.

"What if they've been under attack...or have been thrown into another galaxy or something because of Mihoshi's clumsiness! Mihoshi...I have to go down to Earth now! Yukinojo! Locate where the Masaki house is or was and land by it!"

"Yes, m'amm!" Yukinojo said as the ship headed back for Earth.

---------------------------------------

BACK IN DARTZ'S HIDEOUT...IN WASHU'S NEW LAB...

"You mean that Sasami's parents died in an attack by the same person that attacked and destroyed my family and house!" Tenchi asked, angrily.

"And you could tell that just by looking into her memories, Washu!"

"Yes...and not Sasami's memories, Ryoko...Tsunami's!"

"What!" Tenchi exclaimed. "Tsunami's? But, aren't Sasami and Tsunami essimilated(sp?)! Wouldn't Sasami see it with her own eyes if Tsunami had it in her memories!"

"Yes! But, Tsunami couldn't bear telling Sasami herself...so, she put it into a dream...or rather, a nightmare...that she will give Sasami tonight!"

"But, back on the seemingly more important matter, Mother, who attacked Tenchi's family!"

"Ryoko...what if I told you something about your father's past...that you might not like!"

---------------------------------------

BACK ON EARTH...BY WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE MASAKI HOUSE...(If there was anything left, that is)...

Kiyone's eyes widened as she spotted the ruins...or, rather, basically nothing that was left of...the Masaki house. Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought about Mihoshi and everyone else...and she cried...

She fell to her knees and slammed her fists into the ground beneath her.

"Dammit!" She screamed. "If only..." She blinked and then noticed a glimmer of light shimmering along a spot on the ground where Washu's lab would've been. She walked up to the light and bent down, gently touching it with a finger. The light blew to an enormous size and engulfed her before disappearing into the shadows...

---------------------------------------

MEANWHILE, IN WASHU'S NEW LAB...LOCATED IN DARTZ'S HIDEOUT...

"So, Father was...a ruler of an ancient city...turned evil..."

"That's horrible, Washu!" Tenchi said, while trying to make Ryoko feel better.

"So, what will you do about Dad being...evil?" Ryoko asked, a little shaken by everything Washu had told her so far.

"I'll get him on the good side." Washu managed a smile. "You'll see."

The group's attention was suddenly drawn away from their conversation as they heard a thud and a short scream of pain in the main room.

--------------------------------------

Angel: YAY! It's done!

Ryoko: slightly amazed Wow! That was a long chapter!

Washu: a little miffed And I did most of the talking!

Angel: smirks The next one'll be even longer! -

Washu: somewhat freaked out by that fact Oh, God! O.O runs away, screaming

Angel: Um...Dartz, wanna go after her?

Dartz: already out the door; chasing after Washu

Ryoko: Hey! I thought you were gonna make me and Tenchi do some lovin' in this chapter!

Angel: teehee :p teleports away

Ryoko: Hey! Not again!
