Chapter 4: A Nights Events
"Mihoshi? Mihoshi where on earth are you?" called Kiyone from the living room. She was getting more and more irritated by the ditz as the seconds ticked by. Just 20 minutes ago Kiyone had received a message from HQ declaring all officers in the Sol system, The SMC and The LMC to take to the nearby system of Sculptor and be on red alert.
"I'm here! I'm here!"
Mihoshi appeared at the top of the stair. Kiyone gasped.
"What have you done to your hair Mihoshi!"
Mihoshi lifted her hand to her now jagged green hair that just wisped her shoulders, tears were in her eyes as she realised the mistake she had made. Kiyone lifted her jaw back up and shook head.
"We'll fix it later!" she reassured the blubbering officer, "Ok Mihoshi lets go!"
Mihoshi ran down the stairs and stopped in front of Kiyone she started to wring her hands.
"Its just I thought it would look better…but but….IT DIDN'T!"
Kiyone looked around frowning.
"Ok ok! Sssssh! We'll fix it Mihoshi! Now come on lets get going!"
With that Kiyone grabbed Mihoshi wrist and ran outside to be transported up into the Yagami.
Ryoko lay on the on the floor of the highest deck in the ship, about 10 decks higher then the ball room. Her hair spread out from where her hands rested behind her head. She took a deep breathe, closed her eyes and relayed the past 20 minutes back in her head for about the hundreth time.
'He knows, well Ryoko its been 2 years and he finally knows. Unfortunetly it hasn't been that perfect moment where you both TELL each other how you love them so, hold each other close and kiss the most passionate kiss. Nope! Not even close. Good show Ryoko, good show.' She sighed again and pictured his face after he heard her thoughts. Scared? Possibly. Confused? Presumibly. Embarrassed? Most defiantly! Happy-.
"Well lookie lookie who it is. . . .ie!" a screeching voice came from behind her. "Hmm you know for someone who's supposed to be on a date you have a funny way of showing it! Lying on the floor . . .on your own! I mean I myself don't do much lying on the floor but when I do, I assure you. . . .I'm never on MY own!"
A vein protruded through Ryoko's forehead. She shot up and turned to see the scarlet lady staring down at her hands on hips.
"How dare you! If you think you are so great then where's YOUR date?" Ryoko yelled.
Rosal twisted a lock of hair around her baby finger, looking at Ryoko in a pitiful manner.
"Why, in the bedroom of course! I told him to wait there while I attend the ball, so I can have some fun there on my own, then some more I get back!" she giggled, Ryoko repulsed.
"Then why are you here? Leave me alone!"
"I'm here to make sure plans I have made are going along swiftly. You'll be pleased to know they are, if you could just draw your attention to that ship out there." she pointed towards the sky light behind Ryoko. Ryoko hesitantly turned around. Her heart leaped at what she came to see.
"Nagi. . ." she breathed.
"Ryoko? Ryoko? Where are you?"
Tenchi ran through the gold and silver halls and stopped at the elevator. Sweat dripped down his face. He had already been to the first 9 floors up from the ballroom, to the bedroom and the arcade. When he came to the bedroom he saw Ryo-oki still conked out on the arm chair. He had taken off his waist coat and rubbed off his markings.
He punched in the number for the next floor. Elevator music chimmed in his ear and not for the first time since he began his search for Ryoko, it irritated him.
'That blasted music! Grrr I'm not in the mood for this.' He stepped out of the elevator and as he once again sprinted down the corridor his thoughts moved to Ryoko's thoughts.
'She's in love with you Tenchi! She said it herself, or rather thought it, 'he means more to me then anyone else in the world'. What do I do now! I guess the only thing I can do is set things straight. But. . . How can I set things straight if I don't know how I feel? Grrr this is so complicated, why does all this shi-'
Tenchi stopped thinking as soon as he saw something in the distance. A long shadow with spiky hair was standing with its back towards him, its head tilted downwards. He stopped running and slowed down to small steps.
'Well I guess that's it then. . .' a tear fell down her silk like cheek, 'I've had a long run, Rosal said that. I'm more famous then some leaders, billions of creatures know who I am!' she tried in vain to lighten herself up from her downtrodden state of mind. Have a good laugh over a terrible situation. She suddenly felt the presence of Tenchi. She looked up from the floor and back up to the sky light. What to do? Would she tell him? No she couldn't, she'd make the most of her time with him. Who knows what could happen. Rosal may be right about her 'plan'.
Tenchi finally came to Ryoko, he brought a hand up to lay on her shoulder but decided against it. Instead he took a step right beside her. He looked at her out of the corner of his eye, a single tear hung from her jaw line. All he wanted to do was wipe it away, make her feel better, even just to touch that cheek, that face. He found his mind whirling, imagining himself just laying a palm on her face, his fingers brushing her rouge lips.
"You're not alone you know. . ."
Ryoko frowned, she shut her eyes tightly and swallowed deeply.
"I. . . Tenchi. Please. . .can we just forget? Please." she stammered.
Tenchi also shut his eyes. 'Its now or never Tenchi.'
He opened his eyes again and turned to Ryoko, she opened her eyes upon the touch of his hand on her face. The two blushed brightly at the realisation as to what was happening. He slowly brought her face closer and closer.
"No." he said. "Ryoko, believe it or not but I heard your thoughts. . .and. . .and I know you heard mine. I can't just pretend something didn't happen when it so obviously did. I'm not gonna push it to the back of my mind or never mention it again because that's just not me. . .and I . . .I know that's not you!" his voice raised slightly at the last sentence.
Ryoko stared at his face, now only centimetres away.
"Why do you care Tenchi?" she asked, "You've always known how I feel."
Tenchi shook his head.
"Ryoko, no, I havn't, you don't understand-"
"I understand a lot more then you think Tenchi! I may not have a lot of experience in love but I do know when I do express my love for someone I make it VERY clear!
Tenchi had to laugh. She was so right. He remembered all the different and mostly awkward situations he had been put into with the space pirate.
"Listen Ryoko-"
"NO! No Tenchi you listen to me I don't want to talk about this anymore! Please. I mean, I think" she stopped and took a breathe, "I think we should just go back downstairs. . ."
Ryoko's eyes left Tenchi's gaze as she pushed his hand away from her face.
". . .and dance a bit more. Have some fun." she smiled.
Tenchi felt surprised she took his hand off her but nodded in agreement. He smiled and looked out at the sky light. Millions of stars winked back at him, as well as a green and white planet above them. A wash of contentment came down upon him. His heart stopped beating rapidly and his side ceased to hurt anymore after running so much.
As he looked up, he felt a silky soft hand intwine its fingers in his. It held loosely onto his. Out of pure reflex he tightened his hold on it. He looked to Ryoko who was looking at their hands.
"You know Ryoko, your right. The night is barely over, well at least on earth! I never knew how night and day worked in space!"
Ryoko laughed quietly.
"So lets go then! Come on lets boogie Tenchi?" she laughed. She pulled on Tenchi's hand and dragged him down the hall. Still laughing manically.
'Boogie?' Tenchi thought as he ran behind the crazy pirate.
Sasami laid the table for 6 people. As she called out for dinner her thoughts centred around her new housemate 'I'm so happy Grandpa and Noboyuki are allowing her to stay for a while! She seems like a really nice person and Ayeka seems to like her. Washu will hopefully like her too. Its too bad Mihoshi and Kiyone only saw her for a few minutes. I hope its nothing serious they have to attend to, they did seem to be in an awful hurry tho-' her thoughts were cut short as a stumbling Ayeka came trouncing over to the table, her new best friend trying to keep her up straight.
"My dear, sweesh ickle sister is a masterful cook yous knows Miss Mycada." she slurred, "The bestest in THE UNIVERSITY!" she through her arms into the air as though to prove a point but came close to falling over. At this Myca placed the tipsy Jurian onto her place, as she too sat down beside her. Sasami blushed at her sisters silly(but well meaning) words.
"Aka!" she sounded, "You said UNIVERSITY! AHHAHHAHHAHAHAHA!"
Myca dropped her head into her arms on the table, and began pounding the poor slab of wood with her the side of her fist, still laughing manically.
Ayeka(or Aka?) brought a finger to her chin, relaying her compliment to Sasami in her slightly numb head.
"O, I suppose I did . . ." she said in her quiet polite voice, quickly reverting to a crazy laugh. She joined Myca on the table.
As Sasami, stared confused at the sight of the two drunken maidens, the other household members began to make an appearance.
Washu came sauntering out of her lab, arms behind head and eyes closed but stopped immediately at hearing the shrieks of laughter coming from the kitchen. At the sight of the two she mearly looked at Sasami, who just looked almost sympathetic at the girls.
"O Little Washu. . .don't even ask." she said nodding her head.
Noboyuki came in too, staring in confusion at the girls, who by now had tears rolling down their eyes, so rather then try an beat them 'may as well join them' so he plonked himself down next to Ayeka and began laughing deeply even though he had no clue what it was about.
Grandpa didn't even seem to notice the girls as he sat down, a wise look across his face.
"Ah to be young again." he said reflectively, a kind look across his eyes as he glanced at the seemingly young girls.
"And drunk!" beamed his son-in-law.
"Yes, yes. . .and drunk!" he chuckled.
She pushed her bangs to the side, as she splashed some cold water on her face. As she looked in the mirror, she saw something that she wasn't used to, a look on her face. What was it? Was it something to do with what's going on? Of course. . .it was acceptence. Acceptence for the fact of what was to come. What was the word Rosel called it? O yeah 'The Inevitable'. Somethings that's bound to happen, if not now, then soon.
Even though she was one of the strongest people one could ever meet, she had no choice but to. . .not to give up, more to accept. She wasn't sure about what would happen all she knew was that it wasn't going to be a good thing.
After drying off her face she came to realise that mixed in with the droplets of the tap water were her own tears.'O I don't believe this' she mused 'I'm crying! Well that's not a first.' She quickly wiped away the minute drops from her eyelids and waited until she looked presentable. She traced the tiny blue stitching in her gold corset, she realised the stitches were small love hearts and cherry blossoms. Her hand reached back to the bow at the lower back of the corset and Ryoko straightened it out. She again looked in the mirror and was finally satisfied at how she looked. The beauty walked out of the bathroom towards the ballroom. As she walked down the immensely posh corridors and through the massive oak doors, she willed her mind to stay calm, enjoy the night at hand. She clasped her hands together in front of her and carried on walking.
As she came to where Tenchi was sitting, she could see him watching the people on the floor dancing, quite quickly and yet so gracefully, he tapped his foot to the music, which had changed to an actual live band playing. He looked so cute, slightly out of place but still. . .so cute. Ryoko walked over to him smiling seductively, she snuck up behind him and gently placed her soft hands over his eyes. He nearly jumped a foot off his chairs in surprise and she had to suppress a giggle. She bent her back so her lips moved to his ears.
"Having fun my Tenchi?" she whispered seductively.
Tenchi, in a fit of embaressment, quickly reached his hands up to hers and pulled them off his face, he swivelled around to look her in the eye. His cheeks had gone a slightly pinkish colour, it was just now Ryoko had realised his face markings had been taken off.
"Ryoko! Don't sneak up on me like that!"
Ryoko smiled childishly.
"Don't you mean Madison, dear Tenchi?" she toyed as she pulled up a sit beside him.
Tenchi sighed in response, that Ryoko. Always twisting around the trouble she causes. She had certainly changed in the past few months. Ever since she came back to join the carnivel. He didn't admit it to anyone but he had greatly missed her crazy antics. She was certainly one of a kind and Tenchi thought those few days they spent alone together were some of the best in his life. Every morning he would wake up to find her curled up asleep on a chair he had put in his room for her, some mornings she would actually be awake and floating by the side of his bed, pondering. She would then walk with him to school as she told him of the dreams she had of him and earth when she was 'away'.
"One of them was so real I actually woke up and started looking for you, I expected to be in the Yagami again, with the house in the loading bay. In the dream Ayeka and I were fighting in the kitchen but you intervened and told us to grow up. Then as you stormed out you didn't realise the patio doors were closed and rammed right into one! I woke up laughing and crying at the same time, the dreams and the memories were all I had of you Tenchi. . ."
She had never been so open with him, although she never really did go into detail about what happened in space after she left Kagato. Tenchi didn't know she had been almost fatally wounded. Kagatos dark powers had all but killed her, she still never told him about that though.
After he came back from school, did his homework and shrine duties they would go for walks, or Ryoko would fly them to a part of the valley and watch the sunset. One night Ryoko took them to the ocean on Ryo-ohki and both sat outside it on one of the ships spikes and watched the moon and its reflection in the water. Tenchi had never seen anything so beautiful and he wasn't just thinking about the view either. Ryoko had just decided to treat him out of the blue. They had been watching TV alone, as Nobuyuki was away on a business trip and Yosho was attending a shrine meeting in the village, and Tenchi had yawned how he was so bored and would love to do something different. Ryoko looked at him quizzically until she grabbed Ryo-ohki(who was asleep beside her) and she finally leaped at him, teleporting the both outside to were Ryoko then threw Ryo-ohki in the air. All she had been wearing was a knee length night dress that was cream in colour, with a soft hood that swept over Ryokos cyan locks. As they sat their, after Tenchi had given out to Ryoko because she had taken them out to were fisherman could see them, they just quietly began to enjoy the scenery. Ryoko was completely relaxed out here.
"I used to come here a lot the first time. Do you remember after Washu's reality machine went wrong? That night I couldn't sleep, so I came here. I guess it kinda relaxs me, you know?"
Tenchi didn't know what to say, he had unconsciously been staring at her for so long he had forgotten where he actually was. Something about had definately changed, she was calm, well as calm as Ryoko could get! He had noticed that every time the wind blew, her muscles would tighten up as to hold in whatever heat was left in her body.
"Are you cold Ryoko?" he asked after a moment of silence.
Ryoko smiled at him, shaking a hand in the air as though to say 'don't worry about it' but it was to late, Tenchi had already scooched over to her and brought his arm around her shoulder. She blushed ever so slightly and kind of froze in shock but finally let herself relax in his arms. He smiled down at her and began to tell her stories of places he found when he was a child, where he would go and just relax. He told her of a place he still went to, even now.
"It's a small hollow on the east side of the lake, deep in the forest, in the middle of it is a massive rock, where you can sit and just relax, read, think, sleep. I even meditate there sometimes. Its like that rock is something in my life that I know will always be there. Its almost like a reassurance that no matter what goes wrong it'll always be there for me."
Ryoko had smiled at his honesty and cuddled into him more, feeling the heat radiating from his body.
"A bit like me Tenchi. I'll always be there for you." she whispered.
He furrowed his brow in thought before replying to the beautiful womans reassurance.
"Yeh, a bit like you. ." he unconsciously moved her closer.
Back to the present, he realised Ryoko had been staring at him, as he, in his minds eye, relived those special moments with the space pirate. She had her chin resting on her palm, her elbow resting on the table. She looked at him quizzicaly dieing to know exactly what was going on in the that cute little brain of his. He stared into those golden eyes, feeling his face grow hotter and hotter yet not wanting to stop staring at Ryoko.
Finally he brought his gaze from her, back to the dancers. Ryoko sighed and began searching for a waiter, it wasn't a tough task as their were about 60 in the ball room alone. A short man with a blonde handlebar mushtache came over as soon as her hand reached above her shoulder. Ryoko beckoned him to bring his ear to her mouth, so she could whisper something to him. The waiter nodded and smiled as the beautiful woman relayed her order in his ear. He straightened up, memorised the order, bowed and set off into the distance into the great unknown, the equilvilent of a celler on earth.
"Ryoko what are you ordering?" Tenchi asked inquisitively.
She looked at him, her face glowing in innocence, her bottom lip stuck out to make her cuter then she already was.
"Just some Tamura Tea Tenchi! Wow try say that 5 times! Tamura Tea Tenchi, Tamura Tea Ten-"
"RYOKO!"
". . .hmm?"
"What exactly is this tea made of?"
Ryoko simply flicked her hand and through her eyes up to heaven…in space?
"What do I look like? A tea expert?"
"No but your certainly an expert in a certain kind of dri-"
"O sush Tenchi, I only ordered a bottle of Saki, its hardly going to get us drunk now is it my love? Hmm? Soooooo are you going to have some then?"
Tenchi sighed as he saw the waiter make his way back to their table. Ryoko sure had a way with him, he didn't no why but sometimes he just couldn't say no. It was not an uncommon feeling, especially in this past few months. He hoped that when he was in one of those moods with her, she wouldn't try anything as he wasn't sure if he could say no! Whenever she'd ask him to join her for a walk or ask him if she could join him in the fields, he wouldn't even think about it, he'd just automatically say yes!
He stared at the table as a large bottle was laid down between himself and the pirate, along with a saucer each. Surprisingly Ryoko didn't even pick up the bottle, she just sat staring at Tenchi adoringly.
TWO HOURS LATER
"RYYYYYYY-ukkkooyo….!"
"Tenchi seriously QUIT IT!"
BANG!
"TENCHI!"
Ryoko stumbled over to where Tenchi lay flat on the shag carpet that ran the length of the hallway that led to their room. His legs were bent and twisted all over the place, his hands held out in front of him. He turned his head slowly to see Ryoko standing over him, a terrified look across her face, she held one hand to her heart and one to her mouth as she looked at the absolutely pissed so-called prince of Jurai. She hadn't realised that though she may have a strong threshold for the drink, her love didn't and three bottles of Saki was the right way of going about giving him a head ache to remember in the morning.
She sighed and reached down to pull Tenchi into a sitting position against the wall on left side of the corridor. His body heavy from being WAY too relaxed. She sat down opposite of him, her legs brought to the side as she rest one arm on them.
Tenchi had been so funny when he was tipsy, he even pulled Ryoko up off the seat and onto the dance floor where he whirled her in circles, twirled her into his arms and even though people of a 'higher class' had been staring at them, Ryoko knew they were just jealous 'cause they weren't dancing with anyone as handsome as Tenchi, in his black shirt and trousered, he defienitly looked the fox. But then again, so did she.
"Ryo-oh-oh. . .Ryoko!"
Ryoko was brought back to the present by the rambling Tenchi.
"Hmm, what is it lover?"
"Why. . .why do Ryoko, I mean, why do you love me. . .is it 'cause I be fat?"
Ryoko chuckled at his manical talk.
"I don't know Tenchi, I think it is because you be fat. . ." she laughed at the thought of Tenchi being fat. Haha o how she would love to cuddle him then, with his big round tummy and jolly looking face. "Yeh defienitly cause your fat!"
Tenchi looked at her through his blood shot eyes and turned his face to look serious, he moved slightly closer to Ryoko,leaning forwards a few inchs the resting his chin on his brought up knees. He loved to look at her when she laughed so he moved forward to get a better view as his eyes were beginning to grow fuzzy.
Ryoko brought her hand up to her chin and rested it there. However drunk Tenchi was he could still hold her captive with his gaze, like one of them swirling black and white designs you can never take your eye off that makes you feel weird and tingly when you finally took your eyes of it. She had been in her bare feet for quite a while now, even though she had barely a heel on them, they still hurt when she had danced with Tenchi.
She smiled on the inside knowing she could still had three full days left with the love of her life, more parties, more dancing, more Saki! There was even another ball to mark the closing of the festivels, something Ryoko was very happy about, that is, she remembered, if she were still alive.
Tenchi noticed Ryokos now sullen face that had just seconds ago been so jovial and bright. Her golden eyes simmered with moisture. The hand that held her chin began to tremble, she shut her eyes tightly, and just as soon as it began. . .it went away. She opened them again with a look of determination and once again happiness. Tenchi smiled in relief. He may be half cut but that doesn't mean he cant care for the woman of his dreams. 'WHAT? DID I JUST REFER TO RYOKO AS THE WOMAN OF MY DREAMS' he shook his head in disbelief and confusion.'Must be the drink, I don't think of her like that. No.No I don't. She's my friend, nothing more.' he concluded. He began to make his way up the wall on his back, stumbling slightly to the side but quickly regaining his balance.
"Uh Tenchi maybe you should sit back down." Ryoko demanded rather then asked as she stood up after him. She reached out to take his shoulder as he once again, dangerously leaned to the side. Tenchi caught her arm movement from the corner of his eye. That silky long perfectly proportioned arm. It reached out and took hold of his shoulder, firmly yet lovingly.He brought his eyes to the girl in front of her now, who had a reassuring smile on her face as if to say 'I gotcha'. Those beautiful golden catlike eyes, that shone like puddles of the melted precious metal itself. Glimmering inside those irises where two black as night ovals that lead to oblivion. Why did she love him again? Why did she care so much for this farmer boy that she would admittedly die for him? She was so beautiful, so strong, so amazing…and she loved him!
He hastily shook off her hand and leaned back on the wall. A frown formed on his face. He wanted to know so much more about her. She knew practically everything about him! Why she became a space pirate, who were her parents, where was she from, what happened that made her disappear from his life for what seemed like years! And most importently why did she love him?
Ryoko stood, wavering slightly, before Tenchi.'Hey whats up with him? Why is he looking a me like I just fired a cannon at Miss Priss?'
"Hey Tench? What's the problem?"
Tenchi tired his best to keep his whole form from shaking with anger…was it anger or was it the drink? He didn't know, he just wanted to get this whole night over with. Then he could start to learn more about Ryoko the infamous cruel space pirate. Suddenly his thoughts reverted back to when he was on the Yagami, when Ayeka had been kidnapped and Ryoko had tried to stop him from doing battle with a man of great power…Kagato.
"I can't bear the thought of losing you." he really couldn't picture Ryoko the way most Galaxy Police officers did or the way most inhabitants of the universe pictured her. Infamous-perhaps, cruel-no way.
Upon remembering this past dilemma his face softened. He looked back to Ryoko who was standing there, one eyebrow raised, looking terribly confused. He laughed inwardly and all anger rushed out of him.
"Theres NOOOOO problem Ryoko! None at all, just my head is starting to hurt!" he laughed. Ryoko nodded, relieved that Tenchi wasn't having second thoughts for this trip.
"Ok well, good. Well you know what, you look beat and I'm feeling pretty tired myself. How bout we call it a night, huh?" she looked at him, full of content, and smiled. "Lets get back to our room, ok?"
No matter how drunk Tenchi was he still found this quite embarrassing to hear. He felt his face grow hotter and hotter and was sure his nose was about to bleed but before he could say anything Ryoko had already wrapped her arms around his shoulders and teleported them into their room. Tenchi, after getting over the initial shock of his surrounding being changed so suddenly, surveyed the room after Ryoko let go of him and went to check on her cabbit. The room was a lot redder and velvety then he remembered but then again he was half cut. He felt his stomach churn and his throat widen, before you could say night cap, he was in the toilet chugging his insides up!
Ryoko laughed hysterically at his antics and continued petting her little cabbit who was now on her lap, sensing something was wrong.
"O really Ryo-okhi its nothing! Now stop being a priss and just enjoy this carrot!" she grumbled, a carrot appearing in front of the worried cabbit, who nevertheless ate it.
"Good girl." she cooed before changing into something a bit more comfortable.
Tenchi wiped his mouth and struggled to stand back up. His whole head felt fuzzy as though someone just turned on the static behind his eyes. As he strained to keep himself from falling down again he heard soft music being played from inside the room.
Is getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
Tenchi recognised the song immediately, it had been by a friend from schools favourite band, U2. But the voice, the melody, a deep, rough yet soft mans voice. Sung as though from experience…almost spoken. Tenchi head suddenly cleared up, as he listened intently to the words of the song, wondering in the back of his mind why it was playing.
One love
We get to share it
It leaves ya baby
If you don't care for it
Tenchi defienitly knew who it was now. Johnny Cash, the country rock singer from the US. His voice put Tenchi into somewhat of a daydream where the only thing he cound think of was the words and, for some reason, Ryoko. 'It leaves you, if you don't care for it' his heart sunk to the pit of his empty yet churning stomach. The brown eyed boy slowly opened the door to find Ryoko sitting on one side of the bed, her back to Tenchi. Her shoulders were slumped down and her arms lay limply by her side.
Did I ask too much
More then a lot
You gave me nothing now
It's all I got
We're one but were not the same
We're we hurt each other and we're doin it again.
Tenchi slowly walked over to Ryoko and saw where the music was coming from, obviously a gadget made by Washu to help the pair get through times of boredom, obviously she didn't realise that that song was one that really got to Ryoko. She had heard Nobuyuki play it a few times in his office.
'I wonder' she thought 'I wonder if I'll ever get a chance like this again…to have Tenchi by my side and on our own…in outer space… she smiled gravely to herself and leaned back on the bed, her hair gushing out from under her. She looked over to the end of the bed and saw Tenchi leaning on the bedpost, trying to keep his balance. His eyes were all bloodshot and his face had a green tinge to it. She giggled to herself at how un-Tenchi like he looked.
"Ryoko? I think I need to sleep." he said, bringing a hand to his head and groaning.
"Ok Tenchi, why don't you go get changed for-" before she could finish the sentence Tenchi had already climbed onto the king sized bed and lay on his stomach looking at Ryoko who looked at him surpisingly.
"You not gonna get into your pyjamas Tenchi?" she smiled, winking at him also.
Tenchi just gave a goofy smile and sighed, mumbling something about 'drink, clothes and loss of movement in body'. Ryoko stood up turning of the music which had lulled to a finish. She phased into her cream hooded night dress and returned to the edge of the bed.
"I had a good time tonight Ryoko." Tenchi whispered, "A lot can happen in a night…"
Ryoko climbed into the bed and flicked the lights above it off. She turned to face Tenchi who was lying on top of the covers.
"Your right Tenchi, a lot can happen…" she sighed.
"But theres (yawn) still more to come…" he mumbled, "I can't wait…"
WOOOOO done and dusted! chapter 4 anyway! I may be a while updating seen as this is as far as i've gotten so maybe in the next week or so! Rate and review and all that jazz!
