Ok here it is! Chapter 2! Thing is though whenever I go into the tenchi stories IOU doesn't seem to be there unless I click for certain things like, Romance and Action/Adventure! I'm feeling very upset as this may contribute to lack of reviews! But then again, its only been two days….
Disclaimer: Tenchi is not owned by me…but It will one day! Ah no just kidding, its wont! Or will it? Hahaha naw kidding!…or am I?
Chapter 2: Ah Balls!
Ryoko woke from her perch on the beams to find Ayeka sitting at the table drinking some tea. She stretched, yawned and rubbed her eyes before floating down to the Princess. She stood in front of her, wearing a tiny slip of a night gown, and pointed at the tea.
"Don't ya think it's a bit early for alcohol Missy?" she coaxed.
"O haha Ryoko. Once again my sides are splitting from your hilariously funny 'jokes'." she retorted sarcastically. Ryoko pretended to look hurt and brought a hand to her heart. Tears filled her eyes.
"You. . You don't think I'm funny? Well that's it. I'm packing my bags and leaving."
"Good."
"Yep. . .no-one cares for Ryoko. O no. I'm just a pathetic old has-been space pirate with a habit for trouble and messing things up."
"Exactly. I'm glad to see you've finally seen the light Ryoko."
Ryoko sighed dramatically and slumped down beside Ayeka.
"I guess my only legacy was. . .a beautiful tastey carrot cake, that really deserves an award." She smiled menacingly at Ayeka, who stared tiredly at her tea.
"Hey, whats the matter?" she asked genuinely concerned. Usaully when Ryoko mentions the word carrot cake all hell breaks loose. It was Ayekas turn to sigh. She took a sip from her tea.
"O. . .I haven't been sleeping very well these days. I think it's a premonition. Something bad is going to happen. . .maybe we'll be housing another visiter in the near future."
Ryoko seemed taken a back.
"That is a bad thing!"
Just at that moment Tenchi began walking down the stairs.
"Don't tell Tenchi!" Ayeka whispered.
Ryoko nodded.
"Good morning girls, you're up early." he smiled. Both girls beamed up at him, love etched across their faces.
"Good morning!" they chimed.
Ryoko appeared by his side, her arms wrapped around his shoulders(Ayeka went red in anger). She rubbed her cheek against his. And brought her mouth to his ear.
"So have you thought about the ball?" she breathed.
Tenchi lowered his head to avoid Ayeka's gaze.
"Later." he muttered as he unwrapped her arms from him.
Ayeka, who had stood up to intervene, had tiredly sat back down as she saw Tenchi take Ryoko off him. The purple haired beauty continued drinking her tea. Ryoko looked forlorned as Tenchi went over to Ayeka. 'Hmm, he obviously doesn't want to go to the ball with me, after all that trouble of stealing the invite. O Ryoko, you may be beautiful but. . ' Ryoko's thoughts stalled as Tenchi looked up at her and smiled. 'Maybe. . .' she thought.
Sasami, Washu and Mihoshi sat in the living room watching the soaps. Nobuyuki was in work, Yosho training with Tenchi, Kiyone having a lie-in and Ayeka was in the bath. Sasami twirled one of the ends of her pig tails on her finger absent mindedly. She looked up to see Ryo-oki playing outside with a strange creature. Sasami stared at the creature.
"Hey Washu?"
"Mmm."
"Um. What's that creature outside playing with Ryo-oki?" she asked.
Washu took a second to look outside.
"Its what the humans call a dog, Sasami." she explained.
Sasami nodded and stood up. 'It looks so cute!' She opened the patio door and walked over to the animals. The 'dog' had long ruby coloured furry ears like Ryo-oki but had a long snout with a black nose at the end. It also had a long tail with hair flowing from it, that wagged from side to side wildly as it chased Ryo-oki around the back yard making a strange noise.
"Rrrff, rrff!"
Sasami bent down on her knees and whistled to the dog.
"Here cutie!"
The dog looked up and as soon as it took a look at Sasami, it bolted towards the bushes and disappeared.
"Aww. I was looking so forward to playing with your friend, Ryo-oki!"she cried as Ryo-oki jumped into her arms. She snuggled the cabbit softly. She fingered the new collar Washu had bought the furry creature a few days ago that matches Ryokos signature colours. It looked so pretty around her neck. Sasami loved it, even if she didn't pick it out. She hoisted herself up with Ryo-oki in her arms and walked back into the house, her blue kimono wisped along the ground.
Ryoko stared at Tenchi as he parried Yosho's attack with his boken. All he was wearing was a pair of his training trousers. Sweat shimmered on his chest and face. His body moved at an incredible speed as he attacked, defended and parried Yosho and his bo. He called out a battle cry as he swung at Yoshos legs.
Ryoko had started coming to more and more of Tenchi's training sessions with Yosho. She had hid in a large tree above the clearing and watched her love train his cute little ass off. She wore her new space dress she had gotten a few days ago and was in her bare feet. Her senses tingled with the power she felt coming from Tenchi. His strength had grown so much in the past six months. All his training, meditation classes and working out in the fields made it impossible for him NOT to become stronger.
Yosho felt Ryokos presence in the trees. She had been coming a lot more lately then usual. Her love is growing more for him. he thought, If that was possible!. It was amazing seeing the girls feelings towards Tenchi develop. Ryokos especially, from lust . . .to love. She cared more for him then she did for herself and the only person who couldn't see was the man himself, Tenchi. Tenchi knew Ryoko had strong feelings for him, love even. But most of the time he chose to ignore it.
Ayeka, likewise, had deep feelings for Tenchi. Tenchi just had to choose. . .easier said then done.
Tenchi handed his bo back to his grandfather and wiped his forehead with his wrist. Yosho handed him back his T-shirt.
"That was good training for today Tenchi." Yosho commented. Tenchi nodded thanks and pulled on his white T-shirt. It was all getting that little bit easier for him, training went by quickly and usually painlessly, although Grandpa sure could hit him hard when Tenchi wasn't paying attention, usually his mind was some where else and usually that somewhere was on the girls. Ryoko and Ayeka mostly.
"Hurry up young Tenchi, I believe you have someone waiting for you!"
"Crap." she muttered. She crawled back towards the trunk of the tree, hidden in the shadow of the leaves. Her eyes widened as Tenchi whirled around in the direction of Yosho's finger pointing to the exact spot were she was. Ryoko still stayed close to the bark, she was about to teleport when she heard Tenchi call her name.
"Double crap! Uh I'll kill you old man!" she thought aloud.
"Ryoko?" he called out again. Yosho began his way back to the shrine.
"I'll leave you two alone!" he called back, chuckling all the while.
"Ryoko! Come down!"
"Ryokos not here right now, please leave a message after the beep. BEEE-"
"RYOKO!"
"Ok ok. . ."
The cyan haired women phased through the tree branch and landed a few meters away from were Tenchi was standing. Tenchi at first had his arms folded and had planned on tapping his foot but as soon as he saw her, correction, saw what she was wearing, he nearly collapsed. His eyes widened to the size of plates and a large sweat drop appeared on his forehead. She stood, beautifully, in front of him, gazing into his eyes, her hair blowing in the breeze. 'Man. . .she is so-'
"Listen Tenchi, I swear, I was totally not spying on you!" she explained.
Tenchi laughed at her usual Ryoko-ness and took a step towards her.
"Its fine Ryoko. I needed to talk to you anyway. . .about the-"
" THE BALL!" She exclaimed.
"Yes the ball. I have thought about it and. . .and think it would be only proper if I-"
"YOU'RE NOT COMING ARE YOU?" she wailed. "You don't wanna be with a malicious, dangerous and drunk space pirate do you? O I knew I shouldn't of even of bothered!" She dropped to her knees, tears threatening to escape.. She held them back with all her might. Tenchi simply shook his head and knelt down in front of her. He observed her quietly and then finally continued.
"If you let me continue that would be a great help Ryoko!" he smirked. "As I was saying. I only think it would be proper if . . .(Ryoko held her breathe) I escort you to the ball."
Ryoko stared dumb-founded into his eyes, was he lying, was he messing, was it a bet? No, he genuinely wanted to go. She suddenly realised how much of a fool she had made herself look like and without warning began blushing wildly. Her cheeks, her face felt hotter than the suns surface at that moment. Her jaw(which had been hanging open) abruptly shut, only releasing one word.
"Really?" she whispered.
"Really really." he smiled back at her. It was moments like these that he loved about her. Even behind her harsh exterior was a place in her heart that just called out for love and acceptence.
She smiled the biggest smile and out of no-where glomped Tenchi to the ground. He writhed around trying to push her off but it was no use, her adrenilan made her stronger then usual and so he let her rub her face in his shoulder. Swiftly, just as soon as it begun it ended. Ryoko teleported before Tenchi and slapped a hand to her head. Tenchi sat up.
"O no! I have to get ready! Tenchi, we're leaving in 2 hours, if we put Ryo-oki into Hyper speed we should be there about on time." she began phasing but came back abruptly. "O and Tenchi. (he cocked an eye-brow) Thank you. Thank you so much." she then phased away, leaving Tenchi alone in the clearing with nothing but the memories of what had just happened.
"Tenchi, you better not regret this." He said to himself.
The young girl sat in the bushes with her ship/companion on her lap, wondering when it would be a good time to emerge. What should she do, what should she say, how would she say it. She brought her shaking hands to her face to hide her threatening tears. A gold ring glinted on her right middle finger. A blood-red ruby the size of a pea was incrusted in it. Out of the blue, it began flashing wildly, emitting a bright red light around her.
"She's near!" she murmered. She stood up rapidly, not realizing Lovaga fall onto the ground. "O no, what am I gonna say!" the, her ring stopped flashing. She stared at it in surprise, closed her eyes and sat back down, pulling Lovaga back onto her knees and patting her unconsciously.
"Aww, I was quite looking forward to seeing her. Maybe I'll just wait another while…"
Mihoshi looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. She had just washed her hair and wanted to go for a different look, a new style, edgy like Ryoko, retro like Washu. She picked up the scissors that were in the sink cabinet and grabbed a rather large tuft of hair. She bit her tongue and brought the scissors closer to her hair.
BANG BANG
Ryoko phased through the door, barely acknowledged Mihoshi and her attempt to cut her beautiful golden locks, shrugged off her clothes, and put the water on for the shower.
"Ryoko, there's no need to barge in like-"
"Mihoshi?"
"Tha. . .yes?"
Ryoko took a deep breathe and started harshly washing her hair. She then stopped and stared into Mihoshi's big blue eyes. Mihoshi took a step back, Ryoko didn't look like Ryoko. She resembled a lost girl, searching for help.
"Can you. . .can you apply make-up?" she questioned.
Mihoshi's heart skipped a beat. This was something she knew she could do well. After all she did take a beauty school course back in March to try and impress one of Tenchi's friends at one of the schools every-few-month dances. It worked, she looked fantastic and all the boys stared.
Mihoshi squeled and leapt into the shower to hug Ryoko. Her clothes getting completely soaked and Ryoko incredibly confused.
"OF COURSE I CAN!" she cried. Ryokos face tried to smile but unfortunately the circulation to her brain had been cut off by one on Mihoshi's bear hugs.
Finally after Ryoko(and Mihoshi) were dry, Ryoko teleported Mihoshi and herself back to the apartment to get ready. Mihoshi immediately took control and sat Ryoko down in front of her vanity table. Lipsticks, glosses, blushes and tens of other things lay strewn across the table. Ryoko felt quite nervous, pleading to God that she won't end up looking like a clown. Mihoshi sat down beside her and grabbed her face forcefully and began scrubbing Ryoko's skin with a hot towel, at first the space pirate protested but quit because she knew that all this work was for Tenchi. As Mihoshi scrubbed, cleansed, toned and moisturized Ryokos face, Ryoko told Mihoshi all about the ball and her new dress. Mihoshi seemed very interested, giggling at the part were Tenchi said he'd 'escort' Ryoko to the ball. Ryoko felt she could really talk to Mihoshi about these things and loved the fact she always wanted to hear more. Unfortunetly Ryoko never had the 'he kissed me' story, which was the one she would kill to tell Mihoshi. She sighed at the thought and continued letting Mihoshi 'wash away her impurities'.
"YOU'RE TAKING HER WHERE?" A BALL! NO, NO, NO,NO, NO!"
"But Ayeka, she saved our lives!"
"I DON'T CARE, THAT WENCH IS MANIPULATIVE, DANGEROUS, CRUDE! WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE COULD SUBJECT YOU TO!" Ayeka took a deep breathe and sat back down her chair. Tenchi had just explained to everyone in the family(except Mihoshi, who had disappeared, much to the delight of Kiyone!) about Ryoko and the Ball. Everyone was fine about it, everyone except Ayeka. Of course. She had huffed and puffed and blown her head off but knew Tenchi was too much of a gentleman to go back on his word to Ryoko. She shook her head. . .defeated. Something may or may not happen at the ball or festival, but even just the thought of Ryoko spending time with Tenchi, far off in the universe for that matter, made Ayekas blood boil.
Tenchi sat down beside her and put his arm across her shoulders. The contact made the hairs on her skin stand up.
"She deserves it. Please don't be angry with me, its something I gotta do Princess." he further explained.
She slowly nodded her head and looked into his eyes, nothing but goodness stared back.
"Besides you might have a good time with the manipulative, dangerous, crude wench, mightened you!" laughed Washu. Only Nobuyuki laughed along, everyone else stared at Ayeka and Tenchi. Sasami sat up and picked some lint off her denim shorts.
"So Tenchi?" she began, "What are YOU going to wear to the ball?"
Everyone looked from Tenchi, to Sasami and back to Tenchi. He simply said.
"Grandpas handling that department."
Ayeka looked confusedly at him, his arm still across her.
"How?"
"I don't really know, he says he knows what kind of dress code is needed at these balls. Its like the ones on earth but more elaborate. Hopefully just a simple tux. But nothing is ever that simple out there, is it?"
Everyone shook their head, except Nobuyuki, he just stared, day-dreaming, out one of the large patio windows.
"Actaully Tenchi." piped up Kiyone. "The balls nowadays are quite close to the earth ones. Obviously the decoration will be different. But there is a few traditions. (Tenchi tilted his head at a loss and lifted his arm off Ayeka, leaning towards Kiyone) for example; because you and Ryoko are taking part in the ball as soon as you arrive, Ryoko will have to wear a mask and cloak to hide her face and body-"
"That's not such a bad thing . . ." Ayeka muttered under her breathe.
"-So when her escort first sees her, he'll see her in her full beauty and if he accepts how she looks, he'll ask her to dance. It's a symbol of gratitude for her showing up to the ball and accepting his invite-"
"But I didn't a-"
"Yes I know, you didn't ask her, but a tradition is a tradition, if you like how she looks you ask her to dance. Another one is the dancing. I know this may seem weird but as far as I know as you arrive on the dance floor, light beams will be emitted onto each pair. These beams do something. . .unknown. It is a secret. Something about showing your inner person. I'm not sure if its an urban legend or anything but one of my old friends who trained with me at a Galaxy Police Acadamy mother went to one of the balls and said after the first dance with her then just friend she knew that she was meant to be with that man and they ended up changing their entire relationship. . ."
The whole room was quiet. 'What if Tenchi's friendship with Ryoko changes. . .no it won't happen, Tenchi would have known by now if he were meant to be with Ryoko. Besides he wouldn't go for such a wicked person!' Ayeka thought.
Tenchi's cheeks went a light pink at the notion of dancing with Ryoko. 'Great!', he shuddered at the thought of standing on her toes and her shooting an energy blast at him.
"Anything else?" he asked Kiyone, she scratched her head.
"No not really Tenchi. Basically you have to be respectful and take care of Ryoko. You must take her arm were ever you walk otherwise someone could easily ask her to dance."
He took in all she said. It all seemed incredibly formel, unlike any dance hes ever been to. He nodded his head and stood up. Sasami, too, stood up. She walked up to him and placed herself in front of him. A look of sympathy appeared on her face as she took his left hand in hers.
"You won't be here for dinner, you have to travel in space, you'll be with Ryoko alone for the next three days . . .(Ayeka shivered). You poor poor boy." She nodded her head and released his hand. A smile creeped across her face. "Who knows what you'll get up to!" Tenchi suddenly became worried as he felt as nosebleed coming on.
Ayeka bolted up from the couch, absolutely furious, towards Sasami and pulled her away from Tenchi by her ear, all the while cussing at her crudeness and how she is becoming like Ryoko.
"O leave me alone Miss Priss!" she yelled as Ayeka pushed her into the kitchen.
Tenchi had to laugh. Sasami was becoming a regular teenage girl, and she was loving it. Washu yawned loudly and when Tenchi turned to see her, she lay sprawled across the couch, playing a game on her laptop. Tenchi walked over to the red head and knelt down to her eye-level.
"So what do you think about my latest perdicament Little Washu?" he smiled.
Washu stared at Tenchi seriously, so serious he began feeling uncomfortable.
"Well. First off I wouldn't call it a perdicament, a lot of men out there would give their right arm to escort such a beautiful woman to such a prestigious ball. Secondly it will be a predicament if you don't hurry your butt up and get ready. Your leaving in half an hour. So… GET OUTTA HERE!"
Tenchi face faulted and jumped 20 feet in the air. 'Half an hour. O crap. She'll kill me!' He ran towards the bathroom to have a quick shower, nearly slipping and breaking his neck on the wet tiles.
Mihoshi carefully fixed the back of the mask over Ryoko's hair and took a step back to observe her work. Ryoko stood in a long black robe and bejewelled red and gold mask. A tail poked up out of the robe.
"Man I had to be given a robe with a tail, huh?" complained Ryoko through the mask. Mihoshi laughed as Ryoko pretended to chase her tail like a puppy. After a few seconds Ryoko fell to her bum and crossed her legs, hand on her face.
"I really don't understand this tradition Mihoshi! I mean, so what if he sees me! Who cares. I certainly don't. He can as much of me as he likes!" She laughed and winked at Mihoshi. Mihoshi blushed but laughed along anyway. She couldn't wait for Ryoko to come home and inform her of all the details. The dancing, the looks. . .the kiss. Mihoshi had grown to want Ryoko to be happy with Tenchi a lot lately, since hearing of her express her feelings towards him in confidence. Mihoshi would never tell anyone how Ryoko feels about Tenchi, she liked living anyway.
"Ok. Lets go! Are you ready Ryoko?"
Ryoko stood up and turned her back to Mihoshi, obviously nervous.
"Ready as I'll ever be." she turned her head and smiled at Mihoshi.
-
Everyone waited downstairs for Ryoko and Tenchi. Ayeka paced up and down the room, every now and then she'd look up the stairs to try and mentally will Tenchi to come down. Tenchi I can't take this waiting anymore. She stopped and looked outside, it was only 2 o'clock and the sun was spilting the stones. Ayeka snapped, she couldn't take it anymore, she stomped over to the door, slid it open, picked up her dress and walked out over to the lakes edge. Tears fell down her cheeks. She stood by the waters edge, her toes were caressed by the gentle flow of water. Why, why did Ryoko always get to him first. Why couldn't she just take Tenchi herself and just open up to him, how she feels. If only she could kiss him,to show him, in more then words, how she felt about him. She looked up at the few clouds in sky and wished she could be as care-free as Sasami or Mihoshi, as smart(but not as mad) as Washu and as understanding as Kiyone. She then would be the perfect woman, no bother. She liked the way she looked though, she made an effort when needed, but even when not she looked respectable. Sasami and the other girls, bar Ryoko, would always say how pretty she looks or how her hair was so shiney.
Her kimono still hoisted, she walked further into the water and stopped until it was half way up her shins. She sighed and let her kimono drop into the water and watched it float on the surface, its rosie pink colour turning a deep pink. Ayeka brought her arms up to her hair and unleashed it from its plait, she brought it across her shoulders and stood staring into clear water, she was about to take another step when a hand reached her shoulder, a firm, loving hand.
"O Tenchi. . ." she whispered. She turned her head and saw him, he was wearing a black shirt with a silver waistcoat that had intricate markings on it and a pair of, also black, tight trousers. He looked so handsome, he had a black marking on one side of his face, a small but thick line, that curved from his left eye to just below his cheek bone.
"Ayeka… please come in." he begged.
"No, I'm fine here Tenchi. Please leave me be."She expected him to turn and do as she said but he just stood there. He shook his head.
"No, I don't want to leave earth like this knowing this is how I left you. Ayeka. Its not that big a deal, its two friends going on a trip because one saved the others life-"
"That same friend put it in danger in the first place."
"Please. I'd do the same for you."
Ayeka's eyes widened, red blushed her cheeks. She felt so embarrassed. She finally understood. Tenchi was doing, what he was doing, as a duty. He might not entirely wish to go but was hardly going to unhinge a mad space pirate, now was he? Besides, he'd do the same for her!
"TENCHI?" Sasami called from the house, "RYOKOS HERE!".
Tenchi turned his head towards the house. He sighed and looked back at Ayeka. A small smile appeared on his face as she gazed into his eyes. A look appeared on his face as if to say 'It has to be done'. Ayeka nodded and smiled to herself. They both headed, side by side, in the direction of the house.
"When, when will I say something to her? What if they reject me or not like me……uhhhh, this so annoying!"
Lovaga jumped up and down causing a fuss, trying in vain to tell her owner how hungry she was.
"RRRFFF!"
"I'm sorry baby, I can't do anthing. . ." she closed her eyes, "Anything."
Ryoko stood at the top of the stairs in a large black cloak and the most amazing gold and red costume mask. You could just see her irises, see squinted as she saw Tenchi arrive in the sitting room with Ayeka.
'Why you little-'
"Ryoko why do have a red tail poking out from under your tail-bone?" asked Nobuyoki who suddenly appeared behind her. An unseen vain appeared on her forehead.
"Where else do expect it to be, my funny bone? And why would you be looking in that direction in the first place, you dirty man?" she said through gritted teeth. They hadn't even left yet and she was already angry at Tenchi.
"Hey Ryoko, you ready?" he asked.
She stomped down the stairs, not bothering to look Tenchi in the eye, respond to his question or compliment him on how well he looks, even though he did look particularly handsome. She conjured up a green bag and slung it over her shoulder.
Tenchi felt confused, why was she acting all weird. 'Cause its Ryoko, it would unusual if she didn't!' He laughed inwardly and picked up his own bag of clothes, a small brown back pack, with a Japanese symbol on it meaning One, Ryoko had got it for him for Valentines day. He walked over to were everyone were standing and began his goodbyes.
"Well, I guess we're off! Goodbye Sasami, thanks for the sandwiches,(Sasami gushed as Tenchi bent down to hug her and began muttering how it was nothing special really). See you soon Washu,(he also hugged her, while whispering in her ear not to be doing anything crazy while he's gone)-"
"Aw Tenchi, no crazy things I do are the same when your not here to tell me off for doing it." she smiled devilishly, and then began laughing like a maniac.
"Yeh. . .right! Take care, Kiyone, Mihoshi. Look after everyone one for us, if theres any trouble jus-"
"Contact Ryo-oki!" Kiyone finished, "Yes Tenchi we know, don't be worrying. Just have a good time. That's all that matters to us." she hugged him sweetly and let go just before Mihoshi leaped on him, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"O Tenchi! Be careful, don't do anything silly and take care of Ryoko (Ryoko snorted in disgust at the thought of someone looking after her.)" she wiped her nose and released Tenchi just before his face was about to explode from lack of oxygen. Tenchi shook hands with his grandfather and father.
"Be safe." Yosho said simply.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do." laughed his dad, admid a slap on the back. Tenchi went bright red and looked round at Ryoko, who had already done her goodbyes, she was tapping her foot on the ground, obviously growing impatient. Ryo-oki was lying in her arms.
Last but not least was Princess Ayeka. It was obvious she was holding back the tears. She was biting her bottom lip and looking at the floor. Tenchi sighed.
"Ayeka we'll be back soon. Take care."
Silence fell upon the room as Ayeka continued to stare at the carpet. Ryoko didn't like the look of this.
'Great now Tenchi wont come 'cause poor teary deary is upset. Big surprise.'
"Tenchi. . ." she whispered.
"Yes Princess?"
" . . . . Don't. . . Don't-"
She wanted to say don't go, but how could she. Ryoko would rip her apart. She had to be the strong woman she grew up to be.
"Don't drink too much saki and as for you (she pointed at Ryoko), if you dare try and seduce young Tenchi if he becomes. . . Intoxicated, believe me, will be the last time you do!"
Ryoko smiled behind her mask.
"Of course it would be the last time. Once Tenchi gets a piece of me, there will be no need for saki!"
Everyone laughed nervously, except of course Washu and Nobuyuki who guffawed the loudest.
Steam came out of Ayeka's ears as her jurai logs surrounded her. Suddenly they disappeared as Tenchi held her in a tight embrace.
"'Bye Ayeka."
She took in that moment and felt as though she could die that instant and be happy. He let her go and smiled at her. This time it was Ryokos turn to get angry. She stomped over, dropping Ryo-oki on the floor, to Ayeka, energy blasts a forming in her hands, but they too disappeared as Tenchi walked by her and at the same time grabbed her wrist and pulled her gently along side him.
Sasami ran to open the door,as they both left the house, Ryo-oki chasing after them. Everyone soon followed and as Ryoko threw the little cabbit in the air (MMMMEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWW!) everyone began waving at them both. Ryoko wrapped her arms around Tenchi and they both teleported up to the black and grey space-ship in the sky.
"BYYYYYYYYEEEE!" shouted Sasami.
"Bon Voyage!" yelled Nobuyuki.
"TATA!" squelled Mihoshi.
"Goodbye my love. .. ." muttered Ayeka as she walked back to the house whilst Ryo-oki sped off into outer space, becoming no less then a glimmer and then. . .gone.
"NOOOO! Where are going?" shouted the stranger at the glimmer in the sky. She chased after it as fast as her legs could carry her. Her black hair whipping in the wind. As she ran by a large tree a branch connected with her face, piercing her skin. She winced but kept running, Lovega following her. The forest was getting less and less dense. Just as she ran into the open her foot caught in a large tree root and as she lost her balance, she cried out in frustration. She fell face first into the dirt. She lay there in a heap, disgusted at herself for not doing anything earlier.
Tears fell down her normally rosie cheeks. She brought her hands to the the back of her head and started pulling at her hair.
"O its not fair!" she cried. Her eyes closed but brought no stop to her tears.
"Umm excuse me. Are you ok?" came a sweet voice from just feet in front of her. The stranger froze. 'O no, a human. What do I do? O great. Why does this sorta crap always happen me. Here I am looking terrible, lying flat on my face. This couldn't work out any better.' She looked up to see a little girl, with the longest shineiest blue pigtails she had ever seen and bright pink eyes, with two green triangles in between them, looking down on her. She wore a pair of short denim shorts and a pink string top with white sneakers.
"Ummmmmm. . .hi."
TADA! Well I don't know about you millions of readers out there but I kinda like that chapter, quite a bit! Tune in for the next part in IOU!
