Chapter 2: Surprise! Miyako Hakubi is here!
Over the past week no one had seen Washu and only Sasami and Tenchi seemed to be worried. The door to her lab was locked so she couldn't be distrubed. Ryoko didn't want to admit she was getting curious as to what she was up to, but just ignored it. Sasami had pouted at lunch, "I wonder what Washu is doing?" Mihoshi, who was back from her report to headquarters, just smiled, "Maybe she is busy working?" Ryoko just ate not looking up, "She will come out when she's done. She always does." Sasami nodded and ate her lunch.
Washu smiled as the tiny Miyako slept. She was old enough to come out. She scooped her up in her arms and smiled at her, "Hello little one." Washu knew Ryoko wouldn't like the fact she cloned her daughter, but she wanted to try. The little baby opened her eyes and looked up at her. She had light purple hair and her eyes were the same yellow as her mother's. Washu didn't want to show Miyako to Ryoko or the others yet. She thought it would be best to wait a little longer until she was crawling before she just introduced her to everyone. Washu placed her in her crib and decided to get a quick lunch.
Everyone was shocked when they saw Washu come out and sit down. she grabbed a few things into a bowl and went back into her lab. Tenchi chuckled and shook his head, "Well at least she got something to eat." Ryoko grew curious and finished eating. She disappeared and tried to get into Washu's lab again. She was blocked by the shield again and grumbled sitting on the roof. She didn't like what was going on and wanted to know why Washu was being so secretive. She decided to wait and find out when she came back out. For the moment things seemed quiet. With Mihoshi taking a nap it was too quiet. Tenchi had gone to the shrine to help grandpa and Ayeka decided to help Sasami clean. Ryoko stayed on the roof enjoying being alone. She had placed the necklace around her neck to keep it close. As the days dragged on, Washu hadn't been seen again until almost another week.
Washu popped out of her lab and looked around seeing everyone was around, but Ryoko. Sasami gave her a smile, "It's good to see you miss Washu. We were starting to worry about you." Washu gave them a smile, "I have something to show everyone." She looked up and closed her eyes, "Ryoko that means you too." She came down and leaned against the wall crossing her arms, "What do you want?" Washu looked at her seriously, "I know you won't forgive me for what happened to Miyako all that time ago, but I hope that I did can make up for it.." Ryoko opened her eyes at her and her face grew serious. "What did you do?" "Now try not to get angry when you see her.." Ryoko started to growl some, "What did you do!?" Out from the door crawled a little baby with soft purple hair and yellow eyes. Ryoko became frozen in place staring at her. Sasami went wide-eyed and giggled, "She's so cute miss Washu!" Tenchi had looked at Ryoko who just stood here with a pained look on her face. He wasn't sure of what to say to keep her calm, but he knew she wasn't happy. "You.. made her again... without asking me?" Washu frowned at her, "I used the dna from the necklace you're wearing. It still has her finger prints on it... It wasn't just for you it was for me too.." Ryoko disappeared not saying anything. Tenchi stood and knew where she had gone, "I'll go talk to her." Washu sat down sighing and the little baby crawled to her trying to stand up.
Ryoko was sitting at the cave with her knees against her chest. She looked up when she heard footsteps coming towards her. Tenchi looked at her sadly and she looked away. "May I sit with you Ryoko?" She kept her eyes down and shrugged. He sat down and frowned, "I wish I knew what to say to help make you feel better, but maybe Washu did it because it made her sad to see you still upset about it.." Ryoko looked at him with an angry face, "She should have asked me!" Tenchi looked at her and smiled sadly, "Yes, she should have, but would you have let her?" Ryoko looked down and Tenchi put his hand on her other shoulder, "It was wrong of her not to ask you, but weren't you just a little happy to see her again?" Ryoko covered her face in her hands and couldn't help but to cry again. He hugged her and smiled, "Let's go home and you can have her with you again. It will be good for you to smile." She looked at him and nodded wiping her eyes. He smiled at her and they stood going home.
When Ryoko went in Sasami was giggling watching little Miyako bable on and look around. Ryoko stood there frozen again and Tenchi touched her shoulder. She looked at him and he nodded to her, "You can do it." She nodded and took a breath looking at Miyako. The little one looked up at her and smiled crawling to her. Ryoko squatted down and opened her arms to her. She crawled into her arms and she scooped her up holding her. Miyako smiled up at her and Ryoko couldn't help but wonder if it was a dream. Her tiny hand touched her cheek and she giggled. Ryoko hugged her gently, "I've missed you Miyako.. so much.." Sasami smiled and looked at her, "I'm so happy for you Ryoko. She's so cute." Ryoko couldn't hold back the tears of joy that ran down her cheeks. Tenchi smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder again, "I'm happy for you Ryoko." She looked at him and nodded, "It almost doesn't feel real to me." Miyako giggled and grabbed one of her long cyan locks making Ryoko flinch. "Ow, no pulling Miya-." She gave her a smile and yawned. "I better put her to bed. Night everyone." Everyone said goodnight and had gone to bed. Ryoko stayed in her room sitting on her bed holding the sleeping Miyako to her chest. Something still bothered her about having Miyako again.. If it was the same dna then wouldn't that mean she would lose her again?
Author's notes: Ah getting good right? Sorry this took a while to post. Since I'm 10 weeks pregnant I get bad nausea just being on the computer so I have to pace myself. Keep an eye out for chapter 3 and make sure to leave reviews. Thanks~
