Well then. Here is the next chapter. Now some of you are sking "Why did you make Mako so sad? Why isn't Ryuko going out with her?", it's because I'm tired of writing normal ships, so I'm writing a new one between my OC and Ryuko. Plus, they've already had a child together so there's no going back. HA! I thought ahead this time! Though don't worry! I'm thinking of writing another version with Ryuko x Mako pairing in it.

It will be taking place during the anime, my OC will be in it but won't be together with Ryuko...in that way. What do you mean 'what do you mean'? I know what I'm on about. You'll just have to wait for the story to be written if you want to know more.

So on with chapter 2!

When the sun came up the next day, Ryuko woke up and saw she was alone in bed. Yawning, she figured Ben had already woken up and was making breakfast. So she got a morning shower, brushed her teeth and changed into fresh clothes. When she looked at the calander and saw what day it was, she became very upset and depressed.

She walked into the kitchen to see Ben at the stove, cooking up some food while Yuuki watched from a highchair that wasn't there yesterday. Ben turned around and when he saw Ryuko was awake, he said "Good morning sleepyhead. How you feeling today?"

Ryuko just muttered a "Good morning honey" before walking out the door, confusing Ben and Yuuki, who looked at her dad and said "Why mama sad?"

Ben just said "I don't know sweetheart. Must be the weather or something"

Soon, the Mankanschoks woke up to the wonderful smell of fresh pancakes and came into the kitchen to see Ben was cooking. They all immediately dug in to the baked goods and found them to be very tasty. When Ben finished his, he asked them all a serious question.

"Does anyone know what's wrong with Ryuko? She came into the kitchem earlier looking all sad and depressed. She only muttered a good morning before heading out without having any breakfast"

The Mankanschoks looked at each other nervously. Mataro answered for them. "Well, you see. When Ryuko stopped Ragyo from turning the world into clothes...on the same day of every month, she'd become very sad and depressed. It's because..." But Ben finished it or him with realisation on his face.

"It's because she lost Senketsu on this day" Everyone looked at him confused. Mako asked "How do you know that? Can you read minds!?" She suddenly got very excited.

Ben just chuckled before answering. "Yes, I can. But that's not how I know. In my dimension, you all don't exist. You are all part of a television show from Japan called Kill La Kill. It was really popular for all the action it has and for the...slight innuendo in it. I was a fan of the show you see and watched it over and over again"

Everyone made an "Oh!" face. Suddenly, Ben's face lit up. "I have an idea how I can cheer her up!"

He told everyone his plan while he was feeding Yuuki her milk. When he finished, everyone didn't look so sure. "Are you sure you can do that Ben? What if it doesn't work?" Mrs M asked uncertainly.

Ben just smirked. "Don't worry mam. I have done this sort of thing before and it always works out" Mataro and his parents just smiled uneasily and unsurely before nodding their heads.

Mr M told Ben he could find Ryuko on the road that used to lead to Hono Town before it sank. He thanked them and took Yuuki with him and started to look for Ryuko.

It took a couple hours, but thanks to some asking, Ben was able to find the road that led to where Hono Town was. He walked to the end and saw Ryuko was sat on the edge with her feet dangling. He walked over and made his presence known.

"Can I join you?"

She looked to her left and saw Ben was there with Yuuki in his arms. She smiled and nodded. Ben smiled back and sat next to her. They sat in silence. Just gazing at the water. The occasional splash from fish jumping out the water.

Ben broke the silence. "I know what's wrong. I know why you're upset. And I know what you're going through"

Ryuko shook her head. "No you don't. You don't know what I'm going through Drago! You didn't see him burn to death in your arms!"

Ben wrapped his right arm around her and pulled her to him and let her cry. He sighed before speaking again. "I do know Ryuko. I'm the last living member of my family remember? I watched my mother and siblings grow old and watched them die. No matter what I did, I couldn't stop it" Tears collected and fell from Ben's eyes. Yuuki tried to wipe them away as she sensed her dad was getting upset. He smiled at her.

"But we need to remember. They may be gone physically, but they'll always live on in our hearts, in our memories and in our souls. They'll live on, as long as we remember them"

Ryuko nodded. She knew he was right. She knows how he feels. She lost her dad last year and told him about it. He told her his secret and she comforted him as he cried that night. She looked up at him, smiled and gave him a kiss on the lips.

Yuuki giggled, glad her parents were happy again. Ryuko giggled at her daughter and gave her a kiss on the head. They both soon stood up after watching the horizon for a few more minutes.

On their way home, Ben wrapped his left arm around her. She placed her left hand over his and gave it a squeeze before snuggling into his shoulder. They walked in silence for a few minutes, then Ben brought up something unexpected.

"Listen sweetie. If you had the chance, would you like to see Senketsu again?"

Ryuko looked at him in disbelief. "Of course I would! He was my best friend. Or as Mako would put it, 'my sunday best'. But..." She became downcast. "It's impossible. He's gone and never coming back" She was close to tears again. Yuuki held her arms out to her mom and Ryuko took her and hugged her tightly.

Ben just brought her to a stop and turned her to face him. "There's something you need to know Ryuko"

Ryuko looked confused but nodded anyway and let her fiance continue. "Senketsu isn't dead"

Ryuko's eyes widened. "Babe, this isn't funny. Don't say that, it isn't funny!"

Ben just wrapped his girls in his arms and said "I'm not joking honey. I'd never joke about that. But I'm serious. Senketsu is still alive. Don't you remember? On the day of Honoji Academy's Graduation Ceremony? You heard Senketsu then right?"

Ryuko nodded. She did hear Senketsu on that day, she also saw him. He helped her defeat Hoomaru when she tried to continue Ragyo's plan. But, where was Ben going with this?

"Honey, Where are you going with this?"

Ben just smiled and continued. "Senketsu Ryuko, is everywhere. He's in the air, the ocean, the trees and everyone who knew him. And...I have the power to give him back his physical form" He smiled wider.

Ryuko just gasped. "W-what...did you...just say? Y-you can bring him back!?"

Ben nodded. "That I can Ryuko. That I can. We just need to go somewhere private and we can get started"

Ryuko smiled the brightest and happiest smile ever and nodded. She then lead him to a field that wasn't in use since it was still early in the morning.

Ben gave Ryuko one more look before taken a few steps in front of her. He then turned to her and said "One more thing Ryuko. In order for this to work, you need to give me something in return. It can be anything. It could even be meaningless. Just tell me what you want to offer up, and I'll use it" Ben smiled a secret smile, knowing what she was going to do.

Ryuko thought long and hard. What did she have that she didn't want? She searched through everything she owns and couldn't think of anything. She sighed. Looks like she's going to have to be disappointed.

"There isn't anything I want to give up Drago. Everything I have means too much to me to give up. And nothing I own is meaningless. I'm sorry" She frowned.

Ben on the other hand, grinned a big grin. "Don't be sorry sweetie. Now, let's begin" He started to move his arms, but Ryuko, confused, just asked "Wait! I didn't give you anything. How are you going to do it?"

Ben smiled and answered honestly. "You did give me something honey. You gave me an honest answer. That's more than enough. Now, let's bring your friend back!" Ryuko beamed. She did it. She gave something that was enough to bring back Senketsu!

Closing his eyes, Ben raised his arms upwards before bringing them down in front of him. "I call upon the energy of the world. The oceans. The trees. The animals and insects. I call upon the voices of the people living on the planet. I call upon the shocking power of electricity. And, I call upon the essence of one Kamui Senketsu. Come to me, NOW! Attracto!"

Suddenly, four orbs appeared in front of Ben. One was multi coloured, one was pure white, another was full of ash, air, water and embers, and the last one was full of electricity.

Ben took the one full of ash and the one of different colours while reciting. "Essence and energy. Together, they will give the form of the being" He brought them together and they fused into one orb of black with red highlights. It then expanded and started to change shape, a shape Ryuko knew all to well. She smiled brightly.

"Senketsu!" But when she didn't get a reaction, she continued to listen and watch as Ben moved the pure white orb in front of him. "The voices, to give him speech. To talk with everyone. Even those he couldn't talk to before" Ryuko's eyes widened. Senketsu was going to be able to speak with other people.

But the ritual wasn't done. Ben brought forth the orb of electricity and placed in front of Senketsu. Before he continued, he closed his eyes and two pairs of ear protectors appeared. One was already on Yuuki, but the other just hovered in front of Ryuko.

"Put on those protectors Ryuko. When he wakes up, he's going to scream really loud from his abrupt wake up call" Ryuko nodded and put on the ear protectors. She saw Bens lips move but she couldn't hear what he was saying.

"Finally, the power of electricity. To give him, life once again" and he fused the orb with the form of Senketsu. He crackled with electricity for a few seconds, but he started to twitch and squirm. Suddenly, his eyes flew wide open and he screamed at the top of his lungs, if he had lungs that is.

"AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH! I'M AWAKE! I'M AWAKE! STOP ELECTRICUTING MEEEEEE!" He screamed so loud, Ben ended up dropping him to cover his own ears.

When Senketsu stopped flailing around from the shocking experience, he stood up and looked at Ben. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT!? WAS THAT REALLY NECCESSARY!?"

Ben jusy chuckled before he answered. "I'm sorry Senketsu. But you would have taken three months to get that energy back and wake up. It was better to give you that energy straight away and wake you up now"

Senketsu then got confused. "Sorry but, who are you? And where am I? Last thing I remember was burning while me and Ryuko fell from the stratosphere" He held his head with his right sleeve.

Ryuko, having taken off the ear protectors, looked in awe. She wanted to say something. He seemed to still have his memory, but would he recognise her? She didn't care. She needed to speak to him again.

"Senketsu? Is it really you?" Senketsu, hearing his name, turned around. When he saw Ryuko, his eyes widened and tears began to well up. "R-Ryuko? Is that you?"

Ryuko nodded. Tears were in her eyes. He remembers me!

She still remembers me! When he saw Yuuki in her arms though, his happiness was replaced with confusion. "Why have you got a baby in your arms? How long was I gone!? In fact, how am I even alive!?"

Ben and Ryuko laughed. Poor Senketsu was confused. Ryuko went over and stood next to Ben. "You were gone for a year Senketsu. This is my two year old daughter Yuuki. This is my fiance Ben. He's the one who brought you back"

Senketsu looked at Ben. He then smiled, crossed his sleeve across his chest and bowed in respect. "Thank you, for bringing me back"

Ben nodded. "It's good to have you back Senketsu. But the reunion isn't over just yet"

Ryuko and Senketsu were confused. What did he mean?

Ben just stepped away from Ryuko and took a deep breath with his eyes closed. His clothes started to glow and morph. Soon, he was wearing what looked like an adult's sailor uniform, but unlike Senketsu, instead of being black and red, it was blue and white. And instead of a skirt, it had trousers. Now they were even more confused.

Ryuko then saw what Ben was wearing on his left hand. "Wait! Is that a Sek-i-teko!? That uniform is a kamui!?"

Ben nodded. "How the hell do you have a kamui!? I thought only Senketsu, Junketsu and Senrakoketsu were the only ones ever made!?"

Ben rubbed the back of his head. "The truth is Ryuko, you know when you came home from your first day of school and the postman gave you a package?"

Realisation hit Ryuko. That kamui was in that package. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Ben sighed. "If I told you, you wouldn't have gone to see your dad. Remember? He wanted to give you Senketsu but Yui got there before you and killed him before he could tell you everything. As for why I have it? I visited him and asked him to make one for me but be able to hear her, you can too"

Ryuko's eyes widened. Ben's kamui could talk as well? "What's her name?"

Ben smiled. "Su'usanoo. And she's Senketsu's older sister"

Senketsu's eyes widened. He had a sister? Suddenly, they all heard a motherly voice. "Greetings Ryuko and Senketsu. It's a pleasure to finally meet you"

They looked around, but Ryuko looked and saw it came from Su'usanoo. Near the base of his neck, were two eyes that were ocean blue with white pupils.

"Su'usanoo? I really can hear you" Ryuko couldn't see it, but she could tell she was smiling. "Yes you can my dear. Ben has told me all about you two. While you were gone, he introduced me to little Yuuki. And, surprisingly, it seems she can hear me as well"

Ryuko looked at Yuuki and saw her clapping and giggling. "Hiya auntie Su'usan!" Su'usanoo chuckled. "Hello again little one. I hope you've been good for your mommy and daddy" to which Yuuki just giggled and nodded. "Hehehe. Good girl"

Ryuko was amazed that Yuuki was listening to Su'usanoo. Usually she's very shy around people. But then again, Su'usanoo wasn't a person. She isn't human or clothing, yet she is human and clothing at the same time, just like her and Senketsu are. What amazed her more was that Yuuki called her 'auntie'. Amazing.

They stayed in the park for a few more hours talking and introducing Senketsu to Su'usanoo. When it was almost lunch time, they headed home. Ben was carrying Yuuki in his arms with Su'usanoo still on and Ryuko was carrying Senketsu in her arms and was talking with him. Catching him up on everything that has happened the past year and telling him how she met Ben and had Yuuki.

Surprisingly, she didn't break down into tears when she told Senketsu what happened to her before she met Ben. She carried on talking with a smile on her face, making Ben smile. He was so proud of her. It seems she now sees that incident as a distant memory.

When they got home, and Ryuko opened the door, they were met with Mako sat on the floor waiting for them to come home. She smiled when she saw Ryuko was carrying Senketsu. It seems Ben's plan worked after all. She couldn't be happier.

"Welcome home Senketsu! How you been? Wait! I shouldn't ask that! You were dead all this time so how can you answer that!?"

But Senketsu shocked her when he spoke to her. "Hello Mako. I never got the chance to properly thank you for helping save Ryuko from Junketsu did I? Well, now that I can speak to all humans, I thank you from the deepest part of my life fibers"

Mako was frozen in place. She lifted her arm stiffly and pointed. "D-did I just hear Senketsu talk?" She pinched herself, to check if she was dreaming, but when she felt pain and saw everyone nod, she knew it wasn't a dream.

They spent the rest of the day hanging out together. Mako became very friendly with Ben and even offered to babysit Yuuki if he and Ryuko need some alone time, which they reluctantly agreed to.

They were sat in the living room watching T.V, when Ben's face suddenly lit up. Ryuko, who was sat on his lap in his arms, felt this and asked "What's wrong Drago?"

Ben just looked at her with a smile. "I think we should pay Satsuki a visit tomorrow. It'll give me a chance to meet my future sister-in-law and for Yuuki to meet her auntie"

Ryuko suddenly became very nervous. She forgot all about her big sister not knowing what happened two years ago. She sighed. She knew they'd have to meet sooner or later anyway, so she reluctantly agreed. "Alright. But be warned. She can get a bit protective over me, especially when she found out we're sisters. So be ready to be challenged for my hand in marriage and to prove you aren't someone horrible. Someone like Ragyo for instance" She shuddered remembering the woman she thought was dead. She still didn't think of that woman as her mother. She saw Mrs M as more of a mother than her as she actually treated her like a daughter.

Ben wrapped his arms tighter around Ryuko to comfort her. "Don't think of that woman right now honey. She's gone for good. She crushed her heart right in front of you and drifted away into space as life fibers. So don't worry about it. And besides, I'm sure I'll win over Satsuki easily with my charm. It worked on you didn't it?" He smirked confidently, causing Ryuko to roll her eyes, wondering how she fell for such a weirdo. But he was her weirdo, and she wouldn't have him any other way.

She gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Okay. Just be careful though. Make one wrong move and she'll declare you unfit to marry me and make sure you never see me again"

Ben nodded. He knew he needed to tread carefully with Satsuki. She had a terrible upbringing and didn't know how to act right around certain people.

Soon, they heard Yuuki begin to cry. They put her to bed an hour ago so she must want feeding and/or changing. Ryuko stood up and went to get her, she forgot how hard it was being a mother to a two year old.

When Yuuki was changed and fed, they all had some dinner before retiring for the night. Ben placed Yuuki in her cot, which he brought with him, and got into bed with Ryuko cuddling up to him. He sighed in bliss. "I've missed this Ryuko. Having you in my arms. I forgot how good it feels"

Ryuko sighed as well before snuggling more into him with her head on his chest and her arms wrapped around him. She lifted her head up and gave him a kiss. "I've missed this as well Drago. I missed you and Yuuki everyday I was gone. And I'm sorry I didn't write for over a month. As you know, I was in a coma and woke up really angry from finding out who I really am"

Ben sighed and nodded before he tightened his hold on her. "I know. You don't have to apologise for that Ryuko. You learnt not to let your anger take control of you and learnt to let it go. It wasn't your fault She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named altered your memories and took control of you. We're back together now. And I'm not letting you go again" He smiled down at her and she smiled back before they closed in for another kiss.

They pulled back and Ben said "Goodnight love. Sweet dreams" and Ryuko replied with "Goodnight my dragon. Sleep well" before they closed their eyes and drifted off to sleep.

And there is the second chapter. I wrote this yesterday before bed so I'm very tired. *YAWN!* Anyway. As I haven't had any reviews yet, since both these chapters were published today, I'm not going to update for at least a week. Maybe earlier. It depends how I feel, especially since I'm home alone cause my foster carers have gone on holiday and won't be back until next Sunday. So I'm going to be very busy taking care of the house and our pets. We have two dogs and a parrot (Which is annoying the hell out of me as it keeps calling for my foster dad every two fecking minutes!).

So I hope you've enjoyed my fic so far. I made sure this one was shorter on purpose. I'm not writing chapters the length of the first one ever again. EVER!

Before I go, Can you please take a read of my other fics From Another World and True Friendship? They need love as no one is reviewing them! If you leave a review, I'll keep them up. If not, I'll write a notice about it. If people don't answer that, then they'll be deleted. Never to be read again.

Which will be very fecking upsetting for me as I've worked so fecking hard on them.

So, until next time my lovely readers!

Remember! Leave a review and to follow and/or fave! But please, no flames. They make me upset.

Cheerio!
