Ryoko's Sacrafice
Part Five: Second Childhood
By N. RingPrincess
-------------------------
Ryoko groaned and muttered something incoherant under her breathe.
Her companion laughed, having fully caught the comment.
"Tenchi, don't laugh at me." She whined. Ryoko glared at him in
fury and he held up two fingers in the shape of a cross to ward her
off.
Sasami giggled from her place on the couch.
Aeka sniffed in disdain and looked down her nose at the pair. Ryoko
and Tenchi were facing each other across the chess table.
"You left it wide open, Ryoko."
"Well, I thought you might have some self-control."
Tenchi shook his head and moved a peice on the board. "Now, why would
I have anything to do with that?"
She grumbled. "Oh be quiet."
"No." He raised his eyes from the board to look at her, not moving
his head.
She cocked her head and examined the board. "Well, it is true. You
can consult the records if you want."
"I don't doubt you." Tenchi said. "I just find it funny."
"Well, only funny for you. Not for me."
He grinned. "You are finally getting it."
She shoved a peice across the board and gave him a look. "Tenchi."
She whined.
"Ryoko." He whined back and moved another of his pieces.
"Children." Washu reprimanded from the kitchen.
Ryoko and Tenchi snorted at the same moment, Ryoko sticking her
tongue out in her mother's general direction.
Sasami stifled another giggle behind her hand. "Ryoko, that's naughty."
Ryoko gave her a swift glance. "Shh, Sasami."
"Yeah, we don't want the pirate to get into more trouble than she already
is." Aeka commented snidely.
Ryoko rolled her eyes.
"Your move." Tenchi prodded.
"Tenchi, I have an idea." Ryoko started, while moving a bishop.
He glanced at her. "I'm not going to like this am I."
"Firefly hunting." She grinned. "I'm sure Sasami has never done
it before."
"Neither have you." Tenchi pointed out.
"That is beside the point." Ryoko said firmly, moving a pawn after Tenchi
finished his move.
"So. . ."
Ryoko and Sasami looked at each other and grinned mishcheivously. They
turned to Tenchi at the same time. "PLEASE TENCHI. . ." Ryo-ohki
added her miya into it.
Tenchi looked back and forth between them.
Washu came out of the kitchen, wiping down a plate. "Yeah, it sounds
like fun." She nodded.
Tenchi looked at her, then back at the two girls who were now giving
him those eyes, the eyes that begged and could make any male melt.
Tenchi threw up his hands. "Fine."
Ryoko grinned quickly. "Your turn by the way."
He grumbled something incoherent under his breathe.
Ryoko laughed.
----------------------------------
The night was dark and Ryoko moved silently through the trees. No
longer able to use her powers was making her become more proficient
in ways of movement.
"I think there are some over here." Sasami's voice echoed in the
surronding darkness and Ryoko smiled.
A small miya rolled on the wind, bouncing off the mountains.
Ryoko entered the small clearing, sneaking up behind another silhoutte.
"I thought you might be here." She murmured.
He turned around and winked at her. He gestured with his head
for her to come closer. She tiptoed in and he opened his hand
apart just a crack and let the green light of the large firefly
to escape into the air.
Ryoko's eyes widened and jaw dropped. She looked up at him and
he smiled at her. "This was always the best spot." He said softly.
She grinned and became alert. Her head moving in a circular motion,
turning on her heel as she looked for the tell tale green sparks of light.
There.
She waited for it to show again, in the same place, she quickly cupped
her hands around it and slowly moved upwards, to get it off the stalk of
tall grass it was on.
Tenchi held out a jar for her to put it in along with his. She opened
her hands in the opposite direction, causing the firefly to drop into
the jar. Tenchi closed it with a clack.
"I'd forgotten how much fun this can be." He grinned.
She snorted, a squeal from a nearby patch of forest alerted them.
"I got one! I got one, Aeka! Come see!"
"That is nice, Sasami." A tired voice was heard.
Ryoko and Tenchi looked at each other and snuck away.
----------------------------------
Ryoko pushed the door shut and sighed. "I don't think that I had as
much fun as you ever did, Tenchi."
Tenchi grinned sideways at her and put his finger to his lips. He nodded
at the rest of the household spread out on the coach, eyes closed, and
depending on the person, either snoring or just breatheing lightly.
Ryoko shook her head and went to the closet and picked up some blankets.
Tenchi helped her spread them over the sleeping family and they sneaked
upstairs.
Ryoko winked at Tenchi and slipped into his room before him.
Tenchi shook his head and followed after her. "You are lucky
no one woke up." He whispered.
She finished spreading the blankets on her futon and gave him
an inquisitive look. Her amber eyes narrowing and eyebrows furrowed.
"Luck, had nothing to do with it, friend." She mouthed.
He repressed a chuckle and began to lay out his own blankets.
"Good night Ryoko."
"Good night Tenchi."
Ryoko clicked the lights off.
-----------------------------------
Ryoko rolled over and covered her eyes with her hand. A groan
came from the right side of the room and she turned her head
in that direction.
"Lazy." She muttered.
He threw a pillow in her general direction. She fended off with a hand
and grinned.
"and you have poor aim." She picked it up and threw it back, it arced across
the floor boards before landing right on his face with a small plop. Ryoko
giggled.
"Oh, so you think that is funny?" Tenchi growled. He rolled over, and
looked across at her.
She had forgotten about her eyes and now was using her hand to stifle
her giggles. She nodded against the pillow, causing her hair to scrunch
and relax. He gave a mischeivous grin and rolled to his feet, and
stalked across the four feet to where her futon was.
Ryoko rolled to her feet and looked either direction in a wild attempt
to get away. There was no escape. And her hand grasped her own pillow
and brought it up just as he swung.
There was a muffled whump and a sliding of cotton as the two pillows
hit each other.
Ryoko stumbled back and sought for a way to hold her ground. Tenchi
wasn't going to let her get away that easily however and came after her
with the pillow, hitting her in the shoulder.
Ryoko decided the hell with it and began to wildly swing at him. Darting
off in another direction as soon as she could. Hitting him on the backside
as she passed.
Tenchi spun and chased after her, in the small space that the room allowed
and she giggled hysterically at the picture in her mind's eye. Tenchi in
his white t-shirt and red shorts and her in a long blue nightgown. Running
and whacking each other with pillows as if they were six year olds at a
birthday party.
Sasami knocked and opened the door just in time to see Ryoko's pillow
burst in a cloud of feathers. Tenchi exclamation of surprise and her
giggles and sneezes as the feathers rained down. Tenchi took
advantage of her unarmed state and began to hit her unmercifully with
the remaining pillow.
"NOT FAIR, I'm unarmed." Ryoko squealed and ran towards the door.
Sasami moved out of the way, blinking. Not quite sure of what to make
of their antics.
"Guess what? I don't care." Tenchi grinned.
Ryoko croached down behind Sasami. "You can't hurt the innocent bystander." She
commented.
Sasami dived out of the way as Tenchi's pillow came down on Ryoko's head.
Ryoko squealed.
"Traitor, is this how you stand up for the female sex?" She said to Sasami.
"I don't help when it is a lost cause." Sasami said back hotly. Ryoko
scrambled backwards towards the stairs.
"I can see that." She muttered. She turned and dashed down and towards the
living room. Spouting a cheery hello to Mihoshi on the coach, she grabbed
the pillow and kept going.
Tenchi had stopped at the top of the stairs, wondering what she was up too.
A thwap in the back of the head made him turn around to see a grinning Sasami.
"Bye." She chirped and ran the opposite direction.
"Hey! That is not fair. Two against one." He shouted.
Aeka bustled out of her room. "What isn't fair, Lord Tenchi?"
He gave her a sideways glance. "Nothing, Miss Aeka."
A pillow hit his backside. "Who ever said life was fair, Tenchi?" Ryoko's
voice came from downstairs. "I've never heard of that rule."
"Nope, me neither." Sasami chirped from the end of the hall.
"Come down here and face me, scurvy knave." Ryoko said pompously.
Tenchi went and leaned over the rail. Ryoko was leaning the doorway
to the living room.
"Scurvy knave am I?" He tried to sound indignant. "Tell me, why should
I fight you, barbarian."
"I am here to capture your lands and throne, lordling. And your princess." Ryoko's
voice managed to sound bored, contemptous and dull all at the same time.
"Steal my princess, you are a barbarian. You shall never have her." Tenchi said
angrily. "On my honor and by my sword."
"I could care less about your honor or sword." Ryoko examined her fingernails.
Aeka came up behind Tenchi. "At least the pirate has finally recognized who is
your princess."
Tenchi gave her an odd look and shook his head. "It is an old game we used to play."
He leaned back over. "You should care, for they are what stands between you and
death."
"Try it." She bared her fangs, eyes glowing.
Tenchi grinned and vaulted off the steps and landed in front of her. "You have
challenged me to a duel then."
"Yes, to a duel."
"And the victor gets my sword, my land and the princess." Tenchi said solemnly.
Ryoko nodded.
"Then we shall fight." He paused for a moment. "After breakfast."
Ryoko shoved him. "Do you always think with your stomach?"
He grinned and headed towards the kitchen. "No, just most of the time."
"Rapscallion."
"Ryoko!" He gasped. His hands over his heart. "You wound me with your viscous lies."
She blinked innocently.
He then grinned. "Not."
She stuck her tongue out at him.
----------------------------------------
Ryoko and Tenchi never went through with their duel. It was all in fun they
both knew and while the rest of the family was dissappointed. They spent
most of the day repairing Ryoko's empty pillow. Mostly at Wahshu's insistence.
"This is a mess." Ryoko moaned.
"Yeah, but it was fun." Tenchi leaned back to ease his back and
cracked his neck.
""But was it worth it?" She mumbled, her mouth full of pins.
Tenchi gave her an odd glance, but then nodded. "Of course, you
had your first pillow fight. It was worth it."
She placed the pins back into the pin cushion. "Tenchi, I am glad
we are friends." She said in all seriousness.
Tenchi sighed. "But you want more." He began.
She leaned over and laid a hand on his arm. "Tenchi, you are putting
words in my mouth. Don't."
He blinked at her and shut his mouth.
"What I really wanted to say was that I am glad we are friends because
both of us never really had a childhood." She said the last sadly. "But
we are making up for lost time." She brightened.
"With a vengance." Washu muttered from the doorway. Her green eyes
wandering around the spotless room, looking for feathers.
Ryoko pouted. "We have to have fun mom."
Tenchi rolled his eyes, as he stood up his knees cracked and Ryoko winced.
"Sorry." He muttered.
"Don't be." She looked up at him and gave a smile.
Tenchi exited the room and Washu and Ryoko looked at each other for
a moment. Ryoko patted the cushion next to her and went back
to pinning the pillow.
Washu sat down with a sigh. "You two are quite a pair." She commented.
"We have fun." Ryoko nodded.
"How are you feeling?"
"No worse than normal." Ryoko said dryly.
"No dreams?"
"No."
"No nightmares?"
"Nope."
"No naseua, stomach cramps, dryheaves, excessive hunger or thirst."
"No, no, no and no."
Washu nodded. "Are you getting any rounder yet?"
Ryoko gave her mother a sharp glance. "Not really."
"Oh." Washu sounded dissappointed. "Maybe because it is your first."
Ryoko shrugged, threading a needle. "If you say so."
"Ryoko, you know that if you have any problems, I want you to come straight
to me." Washu said quietly.
"I know, Washu. Why so concerned?"
"It seems that we are going to have some visitors." Washu cocked her head, gauging
her daughter's reaction.
"That's nice. Who are they?"
"Oh, just Azusa, Funaho and Misaski."
Ryoko fainted.
