Ryoko's second date - Chapter 4 - After math
At the shrine
Ryoko sighed lightly as she sat outside the cave where she was imprisoned for so long. She stared up at the blackened sky, her golden eyes shimmering like stars in an eternal black.
She looked down at her hands and remenissed about Tenchi holding her hands lightly as she slowly ascened into the air. Her mind wandered even further back to the kiss, she blushed just thinking about it. Her eyes glistened with tears as her mind wandered.
Did her do it because he liked me? or was it an accident?. He is a light-weight at drinking, maybe he was just drunk Thought Ryoko as she let her head slump into her hands.
But then again, he could like me She thought as looked down at the floor But who could love a Demon like me?She asked herself. She was confused by all the thoughts swimming around in her head she couldn't make sense of it at all.
"i have to talk to him" She said nervously.
"But what if it was an accident, What will i do then ?" She thought tears welling in her eyes again. She thought about leaving, but she would never want to leave Tenchi's side, even if he wasn't in love with her. "if he's happy i'm happy, no matter what the outcome" She said clenching her fist.
"But still that kiss..." She smiled brightly and blushed. She looked up into the sky wandering whether Tenchi was watching the same sky. She sighed and said in a light tone "Tenchi" As she faded out and was on her way home.
At Tenchi's apartmet
By the time Tenchi got home it was already late, he lay on his bed holding the pictures from the date up at the light, he stared at them thinking back to the date, and he sighed lightly as his mind wandered to the kiss. He blushed lightly.
"why did i do that?" he asked him self as he stared deeper in the the pictures.
"Do i really...love her?" he asked himself, as he contemplated he walked to his window and stared out into the sky. He thought to himself What about Ayeka and the others? i don't want anything to change, was it the wisest move?
He thought about Ryoko alot and about how much of a trouble maker she was, and he giggled remembering all the times she used to sleep above him, and how it used to petrify him when he woke up. But he liked having her there, it gave him a sense of peace.
"what should i do" He said rubbing his head. "i really do...love her" He sighed as he lay back on his bed setting the pictures next to him.
"i'll deal with it tommorow, i'll have a clear head, right now i'm too tired" He switched off the light and fell straight to sleep with his last thoughts of Ryoko fading into his dreams.
At the Masaki house
Evil cackles rose from inside Washu's lab, and high pitched screams from the jurai princess shook the house. This is what Ryoko returned home to...
"NO STOP IT"
"Aw come on don't be such a baby!"
"AHHHHHHH WASHU!"
"hehe struggling will only make it hold tighter"
She walked in to the living room and saw Sasami watching T.V with Ryo-oh-ki, they were giggling everytime Ayeka screamed.
"Need i ask?" said Ryoko as she sat on the couch resting her arms on the back of the couch.
"its been going on almost all day, Washu's been experimenting on Ayeka, what for i don't know" Giggled Sasami.
"is that right?" Giggled Ryoko as she thought She's getting what she deserves
"O but why don't you stop her" Ryoko said trying to act concerned.
"do you want to get in the way of Washu and science?" Said Sasami in a serious tone.
Ryoko sweat dropped and said "guess your right" as she remeber back to the last time she tried to help Ryo-oh-ki escape her check up, she got a mallet to the head and was experimented on all night. She closed her eyes and laughed loudly throwing her head back,
"this i rich, i gotta' go take a look" she said as she snuck off to Washu's lab. But just as she got to the door, it flung open and smacked Ryoko square in the face (karma? perhaps?). Ryoko twitched and dropped to the floor behind the door, and an angry Ayeka stormed out with parts of tenticles attached to her arms and waist.
"You didn't have to break it" Shouted Washu as she picked up the bits of broken machine on the floor and followed the princess.
"well you said you wanted to borrow me for a minute and i have to say, almost 9 hours of your torture is ENOUGH" Shouted the princess looking down on the pint-sized genius.
Washu folded her arms and looked down smugly " Well i got all i wanted from you anyway, and if your not careful your personal data could just be made far less personal" Gloated Washu
Ayeka blushed and lowered her head "O alright you pesky little... i mean you beautiful scientist" Ayeka faked a smile then she noticed Ryoko crawling from behind the door.
"AH HA! there you are, just where have you been!" She scolded "you skipped your chores again"
"relax princess" laughed Ryoko "i was just out, i had important stuff to do"
"o really" said Ayeka smugly " And what would that be?Drinking i bet!" cackled the princess
"No the concern of a juraian princess, too low brow for you" she laughed
"i bet you snuck off to try and see Tenchi didn't you...you--"but before Ayeka could finish Washu interupted
"curiosity killed the princess" said Washu holding up a thick document with Ayeka's name on it "i would sure hate this file to end up in the wrong hands" She laughed
Ayeka lowered her head " fine have it your way, i'm not interested anyway scoffed Ayeka as she stormed off.
Washu and Ryoko just looked at eachother and shrugged. Then Sasami shouted out that it was time for dinner, Ayeka politely declined and wandered off upstairs, however everyone else dug in to a lovely meal and sake.
Ayeka peeked round the corner to see that everyone was eating and then turned to walk down the hall, she was about to enter her room, but then she thought
What was that woman upto today? She shook her head "none of my concern" but she glanced at Ryoko's room, her door was open.
Ayeka walked over slyly and crept slowly in, She was greeted by many empty sake bottles and empty food wrappers.
"How can one live in such squaller?" she said as she wandered further in. Just then she spotted something on Ryoko's desk, a picture. It was clear by the hair that it was Ryoko, but who was the other person Ryoko was being hugged by, Ayeka tried to get closer but just then she heard the door creek open.
Ryoko fell through the door over her own empty sake bottles
"Ouch ! who put that there" She said her cheeks bright red and her eyes glazed over.She was drunk!.
"O Ayeka am i in your room, man you ...n..eed to ...tidy up more" She giggled
"no Ryoko this is YOUR pig-sty" Huffed the princess, the very idea of her being called messy by none other then Ryoko was enough to rattle her cage.
"then why are you here?" she said as she stumbled over to her bed.
Ayeka froze on the spot, how would she explain?
"I know what it is..."she sad with an evil glint in her eye.
This is it she knows Cringed Ayeka "yy...you... do?"
"Of coursehic you want to take advantage of me... while i'm drunk, sor..ry i don't swing that way Princess" Said Ryoko just before crashing on her bed and throwing her head back letting out a loud laugh.
"WW...WHAT THE VERY IDEA" Ayeka was red with anger and her eyes were burning with fury.
"Relax princess" Mumbled Ryoko "you don't want to wrinkle that pretty face" she laughed
"YOU ...GRR" Growled Ayeka as she turned to storm out of the room forgetting all about the picture, she forgot to take a real look so the other person in the picture was still a mystery.
She turned round to get a final word in but she saw Ryoko struggling to pull her dress over her head,
"I'm getting out of here!" She shouted as she stormed out.
"Well don't come malesting me while i sleep" She said smugly before dropping onto her bed, the dress still stuck on her head, and thats how she slept.
Ayeka gasped "dam i forgot to look at the picture!" She thought back she was being hugged by someone, could it be a boyfriend?is this where she disapeared to?
"I have to find out!" She said
"find out what" said Sasami rubbing her sleepy eyes, with Ryo-oh-ki resting on her shoulder.
"O erm...think Ayeka think whats happening on my soap opera's" she giggled and sweat dropped rushing downstairs.
As she walked downstairs she became angry pondering about Ryoko and her picture. What if it where Tenchi? She thought
Then she laughed "Yeah right".
Washu walked over to the Princess
"goodnight Miss Ayeka" She said before opening the door to her lab
"O Miss Washu!" i'll as her if she knows thought Ayeka
"Yes?"
"O nothing, goodnight" AM I STUPID I CAN'T ASK RYOKO'S MOTHER She scolded herself in her mind.
Washu nodded and turned to her lab.
Ayeka sat alone on the couch watching the T.V She was in for an all nighter, she couldn't stop thinking. And the night slowly wore on.
