Chapter Two

Back inside the house…

"I don't know what happened. When I found her, she was crying and…I don't know," Tenchi explained to the others. Sasami was in the other room, cooking lunch. Cooking always made her feel better.

"I wonder what's wrong?" Mihoshi said, hands clasped and obviously worried. Beside herself, Sasami was the happiest person in the house.

"I'll go and talk to her once she's calmed down," Ayeka said in a rather sisterly tone. She sighed and looked to the door. She didn't want to tell the others, but she felt she knew what was going on.

Back in the kitchen, Sasami sat at the table, her hands in her lap. She starred blankly at them, her eyes wide. Why…why did he come back? I thought I got rid of him. Tears began to well up in her eyes and fell to her apron. She wiped them off and shook her head. "Why won't he leave me alone?" she whispered to herself.

"Because we are supposed to be together forever…" she heard the voice say in her ear. She turned and stood up, knocking over her chair and causing a loud crash as it fell to the ground.

She grabbed her head as a painful headache surged through it. "What do you want from me Kurijo?" She said, falling to the ground. It felt as if needles were pushed into her skull.

"I want to be with you. Come back and marry me Sasami. Like you promised when we were kids. You remember, don't you?" He said, smiling at her and leaning down. His lips went up to her ear. "You promised to be my bride."

"No! Never!" She screamed, pushing Kurijo away from her and staggering from off of the ground. She glared at him and spoke sternly, the tears coming forth again. "I would never marry someone like you. Someone who's hurt me so much…someone who's lied to me and broken my heart! So leave me alone!"

He looked at her, his crystal blue eyes surging with emotion. "If you won't be willingly, I'll make you!" he said, and immediately, Sasami's eyes went grey and she fell to the floor with a thud. Kurijo smirked and disappeared.

Washu turned her head to the kitchen where the crash came from. "What was that?" she murmured to the others. Everyone traveled into the kitchen and gasped at what they saw. Sasami lay on the ground, her eyes grey and her chest barely moving up and down, the chair knocked over next to her, the vase broken on the table.

Ayeka fell to the floor, cradling Sasami in her arms. She sat there for a few minutes, just looking at the limp body. "Ayeka…" Tenchi began, putting his hand on her shoulder. Then he saw silent tears fell from her eyes and she hugged her sister tight.
