Chapter 3: Blankly Blanaki

Sasami stared at the woman on the ground. She had straight black hair that ran to her tail-bone with a fly away fringe that right now stuck to her forehead. Her eyes were different colours, one a ruby red the other a silver/greyish colour and looked as if she had been crying. A cut bled on her right cheek and sweat dripped from her forehead. She wore a ragged pair of red baggy trousers and a tight white top with black puffy sleeves and dirty black boots, in fact all over her was covered in dirt.

"Why, you don't look as if you're from around here!" She said as she knelt down beside the crest-fallen woman. She stayed quiet.

"I'm Sasami, you are?" she asked determined for the girl to talk.

"Myca. . ." just as she said her name Lovaga appeared out of the bushes and leapt onto her masters back, growling at poor Sasami. Sasami recognised the pet immediately but decided to keep scthum.

Myca assured Lovaga that she was fine through their mind link. The pet slowly moved off her owners back and sat by her side quietly.

"Well Myca, we better get you cleaned up," Sasami stood up and reached for Myca's hand. Myca looked in confusion at the girl. Why was she inviting her in, why did she trust her when she didn't even know her.

"But-you-you don't know me. How can you just invite me into your home?" she questioned.

Sasami stood up straight and brought a finger to her chin, incredibly deep in thought, so much so her eyes screwed up.

"Well . . ." she began, "Are you going to hurt me?"

"What? No!"

"Anyone else in my family?"

"No!"

"Are you going to try and steal what little money we have?"

"No!"

"Blow holes in the walls."

". . . .no."

Sasami stopped, smiled and returned her hand to pick up Myca.

"Well then, your welcome to our humble abode."

Myca smiled at the generosity of the sweet girl and accepted her hand.

The stars looked nothing more then streaks of white light as Ryo-oki was put into Hyper Speed. Ryoko sat in her seat, her mask and cloak strewn on the floor, as it was beginning to annoy her, besides Tenchi was somewhere else on the ship. He wanted to go for a walk for a while, of course Ryoko was disappointed but didn't cause a fuss as she knew that for the next days they'd be spending nearly all their time together. She yawned and stretched, they should be there within the next hour, but still she knew it was going to be a long one, what with Tenchi on the walk-about, Ryoko had no-one to pass time with.

She stared down at her dress, a gold corset with a tight waist and dark blue skirt to her knees that puffed out stared back at her. Of course the dress accentuated her best assets, her chest and second best, her legs. She straightened out her legs in front of her and smiled at her old brown boots 'Heels are for later!' she laughed as she thought of the idea of her walking around in stilettos and falling all over the place and was happy she stuck to her gold kitten heels she had borrowed from fellow big footed Mihoshi.

She brought her hands to her head and touched the small head piece Mihoshi had put around her forehead after deciding her hair was WAY to unruly to style. It was two tiny gold bands intertwining and came together in the middle to a sapphire that sparkled in the stars light. Her make-up was simple, bit of blush, lipgloss and eye-liner. Simple yet dazzling. She of course wore her red ear-ring on her left ear lobe, but how could she not. It was like living without a heart. Ryoko laughed at her gift to be protective of such little things.

"But Tenchi. . .O man, I also have a knack for being blinded by love." she thought out loud, "But maybe, maybe he does love me. . Hahaha, he just hasn't realised it, man what a kick in the face! To suddenly realise you've fallen in love with a, however beautiful, murderous space pirate."

She laughed at her own expense.

"You really are a complete maniac Ryoko!" Tenchi had appeared out of no-where behind Ryoko.

Her heart skipped a beat as she realised she wasn't wearing her robe and mask.

"TENCHI!" she yelled, "IM NOT WEARING MY DISGUISE! YOU CANT SEE ME UNTIL WE GET THERE!" she made a grab for the robe.

"O come on Ryoko!"

"No! We're following the tradition, no matter how stupid."

She pulled her robe on and slapped on the mask. She stood up and turned to him, he laughed as he saw her tail in kinks and angles. He took another step toward her.

"You know you never told me how you think I look?" he said smiling, in an unusually mischievous way. Ryoko's eyes widened behind her mask at the question but regained composure.

"Well . . ." she floated over to him and wrapped her arms around him, she brought her face to his and and moved in close. Tenchi blushed ever so slightly.

"You may look somewhat handsome at the moment. But unfortunately Tenchi, once you see me without this absolutely revolting robe off you'll know how lucky you are!" She laughed seductively. Tenchi stepped back but still kept a smile on his face. But Ryoko brought her feet to the floor and stepped with him. Her hip brushed with his and a vicious sting went though her body.

"OW! Hey Tenchi did you bring the Tenchi-ken?" she questioned as she reached for his waist-band.

Tenchi nervously stepped back, he had brought it for safety, his grandfather had told him to take it, he was hardly going to argue, was he?

"Yeah but who knows what might happen Ryoko, we could get attacked. Come on!" he added seeing the disappointed look on her face. "Just because I can't just conjour them out of no where doesn't mean I shouldn't bring one at all."

Ryoko looked crest-fallen and slightly embarrassed for what she would say next.

"Tenchi you know I would always be the one to protect you!"

Tenchi was caught off guard by this statement. He looked down at his shoes, not knowing what to say next. Ryoko saw his reaction and dropped her arms to her sides. 'Why did I have to open my big mouth, I always ruin the moment!'

Feeling deflated she swept up her robe and turned to walk to the large window that looked out into deep space.

Tenchi knew she felt embarrassed but he still appreciated what she said. Maybe he should of told her instead of going silent and losing her gaze. 'This is going to be a tough few days if we keep having these awkward moments. Well I better stop this before it gets worse.'

Ryoko looked out at every one of those passing stars as if they were they only things she were allowed to see. She treasured moments with Tenchi but dispises the ones were she feels she can't open up to him. She clenched her fists in frustration. Why? Why couldn't she just open up to him, kiss him, tell him of her woes, her fears, what makes her happy. 'O stop being such a drama queen, Ryoko!' she told herself. She unclenched her fists and smoothed out her robe. She took a deep breathe and turned to see Tenchi a foot across from her, cheeky smile across his face. He held his hand out to shake hers.

"How about. . . You look after me. . . .and I'll look after you. How about it?" he asked.

Ryoko's face went completely ruby. But of course she agreed. She grabbed his hand and shook it firmly.

"Sounds like a good idea. Me having the most powerful sword in the universe protecting me and you-"

"Having the maddest, craziest space pirate to protect me. . ."

They both laughed and made jokes about each other. A loud miow caught them off guard and the ship began to slow down. Ryoko phased back to her seat and took the ship off auto. She looked up at the window and and gasped as The Mantaha came into view. Tenchi came up beside and joined her in awe. The ship was massive, the biggest Tenchi had ever saw. It was covered in gold with 5 or 6 emerald domes rising up along the sides, meeting in the middle to form a grand ruby red dome about 4 times the size of the emerald ones. Ships were gathered all around in a light blue shield that surrounded the ship. A great fin jutted out at the bottom of the ship, it looked like the docking bay were all the other ships docked.

"Wow"

"That is some ship huh? Humph looks better since I last got my hands on it."

Tenchi stared at the mask sitting in the seat.

"You, you attacked this ship? And your coming back?"

"Well, I'm always one for danger Tenchi. Whats a life without taking a risk once an a while! Anyway the ship wasn't so commercial back then, it was a money ship. Like a bank for the people of Tamura, it had one of the most sophisticated security systems in the galaxy. 3,000 cameras, 2,000 armed security staff and another 2,000 staff members rumoured to carry Grade B weaponry. All together a very challenging task."

Tenchi couldn't help feeling impressed. He knew Ryoko was good, but not that good. She could list off details of a ship like the letters of an alphabete. She obviously put a lot of thought and hard-work into her. . .job.

"So how did it work out?"

"Lets just say I earned myself a few battle scars that day."

Tenchi was sure he saw her body wince.

"Okay Ryo-oki, connect to security-"

"Hey wait Ryoko. Won't they recognise the ship!"

"No. First off I didn't use Ryo-oki. It was too big of a risk, the Tamura was the greatest ship destroyer out there when it came to attempted robberies, I just couldn't use her, she was too important to me. But boy did she protest. Isnt that right ya stubborn cabbit(Ryo-oki miowed). Secondly, when I penetrated its shield, I made sure to destroy ALL of its saved security codes and images of different ships that in the past had tried to attack the bank. I was a hero in the criminal world. Man, the amount of drinks they bought me. I was practially a human keg!" she laughed her crazed laugh and looked off into the distance at the ship. "The Tamura didn't know what hit it. I guess life is different now, but boy it was exciting Tenchi."

"I bet."

"O it was, life on the run, not staying in one place for more then a week, Nagi could barely keep up with me. I was in my prime when I conquered the Tamura. I wish you could have been there with me Tenchi, would have been a lot less lonely if you had of been."

"You seemed to enjoy it. I think I only would of gotten in your way. I probably would have stopped you anyway!" he laughed

Ryoko made a grab for his hand. She caught his wrist and squeezed it.

"I would of loved if you were with me."

Tenchi blushed and slipped his hand into hers and smiled. He would of liked it too, it sounded so exciting. Tenchi had once told Ryoko how he would loved to go away with her, but he had to save Ayeka, it was his duty. Ryoko had tried to stop him, she cried in his arms, she threatened his life, the pirate had tried everything.

Ryoko turned back to the ship, Tenchi released her hand.

"Connect Ryo-oki!"

A large screen appeared in front of her. A mans face flashed on. He looked bored, his chin in his hand. He had a handsome face. Messy brown hair and shiny green eyes. Under his green eyes were red triangles.

"Hmmm, o great another one. Ok, name?"

"Madison Masaki."

Tenchi spluttered in surprise. The young man looked at him in annoyence.

"Name of ship?" he asked.

"Ryo-ho-hi."

"Are you the owner of this ship?"

"Yep! Loud and proud!"

"O great a smart alec. Please remove your mask for a photo I.D.

Ryoko hesitated.

"I um. . .(she turned to Tenchi) turn around now, don't look."

Tenchi sighed and turned his back to her.

"Ok, well(she gently removed her mask, and smoothed out her hair. She fixed her head-piece and looked at the man)um excuse me."

The boy, upon Ryoko taking off her mask, had let his jaw drop to the floor. He stared wide-eyed at the beauty in front of him. Her golden eyes shimmered something familier and her spikey hair looked wild and retro.

"My names Kotal." he shouted out of the blue.

Ryoko raised an eye-brow, at first the boy was rude and short. . .now he looked to impress her. Tenchi also seemed confused, Ryoko hadn't even asked his name, why had he said it anyway. Wait was he-

"So how are you today Miss Madison, may I say you look ravishing!"

"I. ..ummmm" Ryoko was stumped. Did he like her or something?

"Hey how 'bout we hang out if ya get bored during the ball. I have the key to the V.I.P area, and you seem very important to me. How about it, sexy?"

Something came over Tenchi. A vein popped out on his forehead. His heart panged and a feeling rushed through his body. Anger, no something more, jealously? Ding ding ding.

Ryoko looked nervously at the man, he seemed very forward, something she wasn't quite used to. Suddenly, Tenchi leaped in front of her, his left arm reaching across her side. He wasn't looking at her, but at the young Kotal.

"Listen buddy, I don't know if you've realised but this woman you are hitting on is actually my date and will be spending the ball with me. So if you don't mind, quit your flirting and take her picture!"

Sasami dragged her new found friend, Myca, into the sitting room. Her pet Lovega, following cautiously. Myca had explained to the young princess that Lovega was, what her kind call a Docga, a powerful creature of unknown origins.

No-one was there, the whole house was quiet, except for an incessant giggling coming from the kitchen. Myca raised an eyebrow at Sasami as if to say 'That's slightly odd, lets go check!'.

Sasami crossed the room into the kitchen and looked in at a sight that completely caught her off guard. She stood staring as Myca joined her, a smile came apparent on her face.

Ayeka, First Crown Princess of Jurai, was sitting at the table, her skin pink, and her stance wobbly. She looked up at Sasami.

"O Sassy! My sweeeeeeeet baby sister! Would you please mind getting your poor big sister some more saki? It would be VERY much appreciated, so be it would!"

Sasami turned her look of shock into a look of anger, and stomped out of the kitchen, cursing under her breathe, leaving Myca alone with the rather pissed Ayeka, in more then one way!

"SASAMIIIIIIII? O fine, be that way you big goody two shoes. IF YOU WERE IN MY POSITION YOU WOULD DO THE EXACT SAME! Retched so and so. . . Hey you there, get me some booze. I tell you what, possibly the only good thing about that demon woman was the fact she had a heck of a lot of drink!"

Myca laughed knowing the purple haired princess was obviously talking about Ryoko!

"I bet!" she laughed. She stared around the kitchen and opened a few cupboards. But to no avail found only a few lemonade bottles.

"O great. . . The wise-ass probably brought it with her. All the more to try and get Tenchi drunk!" moaned Ayeka, "WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO ME!" she squealed.

Even though Myca had only known of Ayeka for less then 10minutes, she felt sorry for her.

"Its okay, I have an idea!" she perked up.

The black haired stranger brought her two hands together and slowly but surely built up a mass of blackness, she closed her eyes and brought them in front of her, Ayeka sat unamused at the girl 'When am I going to get my drink?', Myca slowly lifted up her right arm and brought it towards the black hole. The mass consumed her hand but just as soon as it disappeared it reappeared, except, this time with two rather large bottles of saki.

Ayeka eyes widened as Myca placed the bottles in front of the princess.

"My own private stash." she smiled, "Well go on, crack 'em open!"

Ayeka didn't know much about the girl, all she knew was she had drink and whoever had drink in Ayekas time of need was a friend in her books.

Tenchi checked how he looked in the gigantic mirror in the entrance hall to the ball room. He looked around him as he looked at himself. All the beautiful people were there, of course he knew none of them and Ryoko didn't seem to care, she just ran into their bathroom to 'Powder my cheeks!' (Tenchi hadn't the heart to correct her). After they had docked Ryo-oki they were shown to their room, a rather lavish and OTT room that was very much NOT to Tenchi's and Ryokos taste. His cheeks had burned when he saw just one double bed, he was pretty sure he saw Ryoko smile.

They put their night bags onto the bed(Ryo-oki conking out on a rather large arm chair) and Ryoko had told Tenchi to wait at the entrance hall, were he was now. The dress code was obviously a bit more then black tie as women all over were wearing their hair 3 feet high with dress that covered a 5 foot radius around them, the colours were rich and bright and some men wore bright green, red even denim body-suits. Tenchi was glad his grandpa had taste, he couldn't imagine himself in an illumious orange body suit. Even the thought made him laugh aloud.

"Now who's the maniac Tenchi?"

Tenchi immediately stopped laughing and whirled around to see where the voice came from. He took a step back and unconsciously let his jaw drop ever so slightly. All around him men were staring at her, some drooling, others attempting to cop a feel but unfortunately for them their partners stood right beside them, glaring.

She looked . . . Fantastic. Wearing a gold corset with intricate details and sequins that just ever so slightly overlapped the deep blue skirt that flowed to her knees and swayed softly by her crossed legs as she stood. Her hair wasn't 3 feet tall but retained its spikiness, a blue jewel shimmered in the middle of her head.

Tenchi finally snapped his mouth shut after realising'Hey is my mouth open?'. He smiled as she sauntered over to him. She intwined her arm in his and he lead the way into the ballroom.

"Kuro, stop staring at that shameful woman!"

"Yes wife. . ."

They walked into the room and stood in awe once again at the beauty of the ship. The ball room that the party was held, sported a ruby red dome above it and right in the middle of the dome a chandelier fell down to about 10 feet above everyones head. It was the largest of anything he had ever seen, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, crystals, pearls and opals hung on to the gold bars. The were about 500 tables that were spread across the room, each one held about 15 people and was covered with gold and red silk throws. A dance floor the size of three basketball courts sat comfortably under the dome. It was empty at the moment, most people were sat at the tables, having a glass of wine. Champagne flowed as well as other alchoholic drinks. There was an air of superiority in the room, with the guests heads held high in the air.

"Wow. This is unbelievable Ryoko! Look at that chandelier, look at that ice sculptor! Hey is that even ice? This is so great! I wonder where we sit?"

Ryoko looked around in shear delight! But was also a bit apprehensive. Everyone looked so elegant and graceful. Everything she wasn't! They walked around as though floating in their sky-high heels. Beautiful women filled the room, one in particular had caught everyones eye from the moment they walked in. Her name was Rosal Blanaki and she was one of the most famous women in the universe! Miss Rosal was the perfect woman, long sleek platinum blonde locks, electric blue eyes and a body to die for. Mostly she was famous for her looks, but she first shot to fame because of her angel like voice. She had done a few movies here and there and of course some rather revealing photo shoots and word was spreading she was going to be singing for the guests on board the ship. She looked amazing, wearing a tight red dress with a plunging neckline and her hair pulled loosely up in a bun. She was looking across the room as someone was telling her an obviously boring story.

She then stared straight in the direction of Ryoko and Tenchi. Ryoko squeezed his arm tight. Rosal's eyes were trying to catch Tenchi's, but he was too busy admiring the room! A crooked smile creeped across her face and she turned back to her audience of adoring men.

Ryoko breathed a sigh of relief. She scanned the room and then looked up at Tenchi, who had grown quite a bit in the past few months. She liked him being taller, she felt protected, even though she could of course look after herself.

Tenchi looked down at her and smiled. She really did look beautiful. Just as their eyes met, the most beautiful noise began to play from every corner of the room. Tenchi liked to think he knew which instrument was brass and which was string but this didn't sound at all like anything he'd ever heard before. It was peaceful yet powerful. It played as though it was singing from the heart. He took his eyes off Ryoko and watched the mounds of people heading to the dance floor.

What was that Kiyone had said to him about the traditions? If he asked Ryoko to dance it would show he accepted how she looked? Well he certainly accepted how she looked(along with quite a lot of other men in the room!) so he really should ask her.

Tenchi released her arm from his and stepped to face her. She looked excitedly into his eyes, the corners of her mouth twitching. She had dropped her hands to her side but instead of leaving them their, he picked her left one up and intwined his fingers in hers. He looked from their hands and back to each others eyes again.

"Ryoko, I don't know if you know the tradition about dancing but-"

"I do."

Tenchi furrowed his brows.

"Mihoshi told me them. . ."

"O ok. Well then I wonder if you would-"

Ryoko smile surfaced and his heart skipped a beat.

"HELLO THERE!" came a high pitched voice, "My names Rosal, Rosal Blanaki. Pleased to meet me are you? I have never seen you around any of the balls? A new found business mogal am I right? O of course I am!"

Tenchi looked in wide-eyed silence at the blonde woman in front of him. He caught a glimpse of Ryoko from the corner of his eye. Her face had gone completely red and he could feel the grip on his hand becoming tighter and tighter!

"Actaully no, I'm just a plain old person lucky enough to get a invite to this ball." he laughed nervously, and turned back to Ryoko. He saw her smile at him just before he nearly got his neck ripped off as this Rosal woman grabbed him by the cheek.

"Nobody is lucky in life, your just born that way." she whispered so only he could hear. "Now tell this servant of yours to get me a drink and leave us be."

"I BEG YOUR PARDON!" shouted Ryoko who has got far better hearing then most other people out there. "SERVANT!"

Rosal laughed and sighed.

"I always do get that one wrong! I guess it must be the dress, or actually its probably the hair!"

Ryoko's entire being became red hot with anger. Tenchi knew she was planning to vaporise Rosal and as annoying as she was, no-one deserved that! He tightened his grip on her hand.

"Actaully I was just about to ask my date if she would dance with me. I apolagise for any inconvinence." He smiled his irresistible smile and watched as Rosal huffed and stomped away, cursing under her breathe.

Tenchi turned to face Ryoko again and was caught off guard as he saw tears build up in her eyes. He looked into those beautiful golden eyes and for, not the first, time since he knew the Space Pirate he felt a twang in his heart. One of wanting. . .desire. But he knew he couldn't-Ayeka. But then again he couldn't leave the two in the dark for his entire life? That would just be unfair. But was he sure that the one he looked at was the one he wanted? How could he be sure?

"So who was that?" he asked, breaking the silence.

"Nobody." she wiped her eyes. "All that matters tonight is you and I. Just having some fun. Ok?"

Tenchi nodded and smiled.

"So where was I? Ah yes. Do you want to dance?"

"Does that mean. . .you accept-?" Ryoko stopped mid sentence. Of course he didn't accept her. He was just being a good friend. She waved her hand in front of her as to dismiss the question. Tenchi quickly grabbed her wrist mid wave and stopped it from moving. He smiled again and nodded. He knew what he had to do.

"Of course I accept you. . ."

The music, the setting. . .the company. Everything was perfect. Tenchi slid his arm around Ryoko's waist(without even trembling) and took her right hand in his left. He gazed into her eyes as she slowly wrapped her left hand gently around his neck. Her heart was pounding, she felt there was defienitly something different about Tenchi. Something more mysterious yet assuring. They swayed gently to the music. Tenchi may not of been the best dancer but he certainly was not the worst!

Ryoko looked at Tenchi in such a way she never felt comfortable doing it before. Her whole emotions leaked out from her soul through her eyes and into his. Suddenly the chandilier above them began rotating.

"Look the jewels! Their catching the rays of the sun! Here comes the famous beams!" came a mans voice from a couple behind them.

Ryoko looked at the chandilier, then back at Tenchi.

"Tenchi? What famous beams?"

He looked at her, confused.

"You don't know of them?" she shook her head, "I dunno either. All I know is their meant to be unique. Showing a part of people never seen before, I think?"

Just at that instant, light began shimmering down onto the couples, illuminating their entire bodies in a different colour. Tenchi looked at the couples, laughing at their reactions and then looked back at Ryoko. A look of shock spread across his face for while all the other people had just one bright colour shining on them, Ryoko seemed to be covered in a black shadow on one side and almost a white light covering the other side. Ryoko also stared back at Tenchi but not in surprise, more in confusion. He too was covered in a bright white colour and also a black shadow.

"Tenchi? We're the same-"

"I know." he looked down at himself and wondered what on earth was going on. Then looked around at all the other dancers and noticed their eyes were all closed. Some were smiling, others weren't. He looked at Ryoko, she seemed to have noticed too. They both nodded and closed their eyes.

Tenchi:

"I never know how to tell him how I feel so I show him. Sometimes I worry that I'm too forward and then realise that of course I'm always forward! Its me for crying out loud! I wish I could tell him how much he means to me. He may not realise it but he's the most important person to me in the world. I just don't know how to tell him. I probably never will. That's not what a space pirate does. That's for sissys and princesses. I'd die for him. I wish I could just have that one moment with him at least, were I can feel totally at ease with my feelings for him and not be afraid of letting down my barriers. But it would only ever be one moment. One feeling. I don't want that, I want him. Him to be mine because I couldn't picture it any other way. But I know we could never be together, a jurian with a space pirate? Talk about your odd couple. The only feelings anyone could have for me are hate and friendship, and the latter is still quite rare. Tenchi is the only person I could ever feel connected to, only person I want to. But still, wanting what you can't have is like a mental torture.I don't want to be alone forever. . .I love you Tenchi Masaki, so much so I would give my life for you to be happy."

Ryoko:

Why is it me they want? What is so special about me. I don't understand how a princess and a space pirate, two completely different kinds of people can like me in such a way I've never been liked before. I always feel like I have to choose. Ayeka is such a beautiful person in many ways. Compassionate, kind, understanding and considerate. Ryoko on the other hand is a wild, crazy, inconsiderate, jealous, cruel, manical space pirate. . .or so she would like everyone to think. I know her though. Behind that tough exterior is someone wanting to be loved. A passionate woman waiting to be released from her hard ass façade. Unlike with Ayeka and I, I have a sort of chemistry with Ryoko that I can't explain. How could I, Tenchi Masaki, fall for such a brash woman. Have I even fell yet? Is this feeling what I think it is? She is so different to me. . .but. . .she understands me. Why can't I do anything about my feelings. If I do feel for Ryoko what I think I feel for her, why don't I act upon it."

After a moment Ryoko opened her eyes. She had just heard her own thoughts relyed in her head and then Tenchi's. She looked up at Tenchi, who had just heard the same(his own then hers), and was staring at Ryoko, the beams had disappeared and she could see his cheeks flush a pinkish colour. She had just realised what happened, 'He heard my thoughts, o my God he knows my thoughts!' she released her arms from him and stepped back. How could this happen. After all the barriers she had put up, after all the feelings she kept hidden. She didn't even think about what Tenchi thought, all she thought about was what he heard. She looked to the floor and took more steps backwards.

"Ryoko. . .please. . .don't do this." he begged.

She still didn't look at him. Tenchi stepped closer to her, he was but a foot away when she twisted round and ran, his hand shot out to grab hers but only grazed it as she disappeared into the crowd of couples.

"Ryoko . . .no!"

He leaped forward and did the only thing he could and ran after her.
