Chapter 06: No Need for Riku, Pt. II
Washu was taking Riku on a tour to the downstairs section of the house. In the living room, he's sees a dark-skinned woman reacting happily to her romance books. "That's Mihoshi," Washu said, "She's first class policewoman for the Galaxy Police Academy. And why did she get first class, you ask?" Washu came up to Riku's ears and said, "Her grandfather is the Grand Marshall of the GP."
"Washu, what are you doing?" asked a young woman. She came up to Washu. Her voice sounds like royalty, and her hair is long and purple.
"I'm showing this ocean dweller how we live, Japan style," Washu replied.
The woman looked at Riku in embarrassment. The purple-haired woman bowed her head to Riku, "I am sorry, I'd startled you."
"You didn't?" Riku sighed.
The young woman forgot to introduced herself, "Oh, my name is Ayeka, the princess of the planet called, Jurai."
"You come from Jurai? And you're a princess?"
"Yes."
"But why did you stay here?" Riku asked her.
She blushed. She didn't want to tell him his real secret on why she stayed here in the first place. She inserted a false reply, "Because, it has one of the nicest cherry blossoms I have ever seen."
"She just stayed for Tenchi," Washu blurted it out. Ayeka falls down anime style. Suddenly she got up, and holds up a one ton rock over her hand, behind Washu's back. "Let's go to the next area of the house, shall we?"
She takes Riku to the kitchen, and what Riku smells was good.
"Smoked salmon?" Riku replied to the luxurious taste. Unexpectedly, Riku looks at a blue-haired, pig-tailed child who holding up utensils in her hands and cooking the delicious meal.
"That's Sasami, Ayeka's little sister," Washu introduced, "Yep, and she even makes the best meals," Washu chuckles and takes Riku's hand to the next room. "This is the dining room…"
Riku looks around the room and sees Tenchi again with his father kneeling on the pillows, down at the floor. "Riku, that's Tenchi and his father, Noboyuki." The father and son turn their heads to Riku and waves with a warm welcome.
"Is that the way that we are gonna eat?" Riku asked.
"Yes, that's the Japanese tradition," Washu nodded.
"Say, Riku, don't you mind if you take off your shoes in the house?" Noboyuki asked. Riku took of his shoes, and kneel with the rest of the family.
"Okay, you guys come and eat!" Sasami set out the dishes to eat member at the table. She looks at Riku, "Oh, we even have a guest. I'm sorry I didn't make a dish for you."
"He can have my plate, Sasami," Washu said.
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
Sasami gave Riku Washu's plate.
"So what are you going to do, Little Washu?" Tenchi asked.
"I'm going back to work!" Washu waved at Riku, "Have fun!"
Washu walked off, and Mihoshi appears at the dining table. She looks at Riku, "Hi, I haven't seen you before."
"Oh Mihoshi, that's our new guest that Washu brought in," Tenchi replied, "His name is Riku."
"How do you do?" Mihoshi said as she shakes his hand.
"Tenchi?" A voice haunted Tenchi. It soon to be Ryoko, the demon that Washu created. She appears invisible and she was holding Tenchi by the shirt.
"Ryoko, please," Tenchi whispered, "We have a guest!"
"And who might our guest be?" Ryoko asked, then she turned visible. Tenchi pointed to Riku. Ryoko smiles at him, "Look Tenchi, our very first child."
"You're not my mom!" Riku uttered.
"Ryoko, that's Riku, he's our guest that Washu sent us!" Nobuyuki announced.
"Oh." Ryoko hardened her voice, "Nice to meet you."
"This family is crazy!" Riku said as he got up from the table. Ayeka stopped him at the door.
"Please, you must stay," Ayeka said to Riku, and then she quickly snaps at Ryoko. "Ryoko, show some correct behavior!"
Ryoko got up, knocking the table over, letting all the delicious food go to waste. She snaps back at Ayeka, "And you saying that I need to show some correct behavior?"
"Ryoko, you are a menace to society!"
Ayeka and Ryoko start throwing stuff across the dining room. Riku could not bear it anymore.
"Excuse me!" Riku yelled as he got out the door. Riku put on his shoes and went outside where the warm and fresh is, and no yelling women. Riku looked at the cherry blossoms that bloom so beautifully. Riku sighed at its glory, and he realized Ayeka was right. The cherry blossoms were absolutely stunning.
"Mr. Riku!" A voice called him. Riku turned around and saw it was just only little Sasami.
"Hey, Sasami!" Riku waved at the blue-haired princess.
Sasami bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry for what happened back there!"
"Sasami, you didn't do anything," Riku exclaimed.
"I know," Sasami sighed. She was very embarrassed.
Riku came up to Sasami and pat her shoulder. He asked Sasami, "Do you wanna walk?"
Sasami nodded happily and walks with Riku. They stopped at the water area in the woods. Sasami was so exhausted that she took a seat on the rock. "Are you okay, Sasami?" Riku asked.
Sasami nodded, "I just need to relax my foot, that's all!"
"Okay." Riku chuckled. He smiles at Sasami. Suddenly, he looks at the water of her reflection… Riku gasped at it and his eyes widened by its surprise.
Sasami looked up at him, "What's a matter, Riku?"
"Your reflection!" Riku shouted and pointed to Sasami's reflection. Sasami looks at her reflection and gasped at it too. It was a secret she was hiding for years. Sasami's reflection looked like her when she's an adult.Her reflection was called 'Tsunami'.
"Oh Riku, I can explain!" Sasami cried out.
"Tell me!" Riku yelled.
"That reflection is the real me…"
"What are you saying?" Riku gasped, terrify of Sasami's reflection.
"I am- I AM NOT THE REAL SASAMI!" Sasami sobbed, "I was trying to tell Ayeka, but I never had the chance."
"Sasami…I-" Riku saw Sasami's tears coming down. He came up to her and embraces her, "I know this is the worst time to say this, but what truly matters is that girl in the reflection is not the real you."
"Riku…" Sasami hugged him back softly.
"What a big surprise for such a little girl that holds secrets in her diary…" A voice echoed behind them.
Riku turns around and asked the voice, "Who are you?"
"My name is Kagato," he replied as he appeared right in front of their eyes, "Sasami is the princess of the Jurai Royal Family, and the assimilation of the goddess, Tsunami."
"Yeah…so?"
"So, I command you to bring the princess to me at once, boy!"
"What if I say 'no'?" Riku asked him.
"Good question," Kagato smirked. "Then Sasami has to say goodbye to her beloved pet." Kagato instantly dig up the cabbit, and point the knife to the cabbit's throat.
"RYOHKI!" Sasami screamed, "Please Kagato, I'll do anything you want, please let her go!"
"A wise choice, princess," Kagato answered back. Kagato threw Ryohki, and transported Sasami to his hands.
Riku looked bewilderedly and saw that Sasami was out of his arms, "Sasami!"
"Don't worry, boy. Your dear, little girlfriend will be back…when you both die off to heaven!"
"Damn you!" Riku cried out. Riku took out his 'halberd', and slashed it around as he charges into Kagato. Briefly, Kagato opens his force field in front of Riku. Riku felt the force and crashed down onto the ground.
"By the way, tell Washu I need those lighthawks from her. Of if she decides to decline my request… well, let's just say Ayeka won't be seeing her baby sister for eternity." Kagato disappears with Sasami into thin air.
"No," Riku yelled, "Sasami!"
Ryohki cries out for Sasami too, with her delicate, little meows. Riku just cannot believe he lost Sasami to the likes of Kagato.
