Ch.1: Lost Hope

Tenchi came down the stairs, before any one came up, even before Sasami. He had to go somewhere in private. He quietly walked outside the door not to dare to make a sound. He left his home in the country and began walking through the forest lost in thought. Without even realizing he was at the cave. He took one look at it and ran far from it.

He ran through the forest, straying off the path. Just running away from all his problems. He didn't care if anyone called him a coward, they didn't have to go through all the pain he goes through. Eventually he finds a hot spring, never before discovered by any other but him. He has been coming for months now ever morning to do his deed. He quickly stripped off all his clothes. Not with his eyes opened because he doesn't went to see all the scars. He jumped into the spring and began scrubbing himself clean of all the dirt. The only word going through his mind is (Unclean). Over and over again he repeats this word. Scrubbing his skin raw. Trying to clean himself everywhere especially between his legs. He is bleeding now, but doesn't care or notice. All that he is concerned with is getting clean. But in his mind he never truly does. He felt somewhat less soiled now so he climbs out the spring and dresses himself. He runs quickly runs back to the house, but before doing that put on his mask. His joyful smile back on his face and eyes no longer dull and dead but vibrant with life; he walks back into the hell that his life always been. He didn't think anyone knew of his activities, but he was wrong.

Two Goddesses watched this. One didn't care because he was alive. That was all she cared about her named champion. As long is he was alive, she didn't care. When he killed himself subconsciously in a search for relief, she'll just laughingly bring him back, punish him for his actions and then play with him like the others did. She knew that he internally shuddered at even mention of her name. She would whisper it when he was alone. She knew he hated everything in his life, so she'll give him dreams of a world where he could be happy, only to turn them into nightmares. Her champion no longer dreams. But she; as a supreme being hiding behind the mantel of good gets pleasure from his tears. She turned away her sights because those she has granted those he lives with to do what they want before she "plays" with her toy.

The other Goddess just watches, in sadness as this lone boy, not yet a man suffers. She wants to help him, but she cannot. Due to certain rules her sister Goddess set up, keeps her from interfering. She watch this boy as a child and saw how happy he was, until her sister took that away, first his mother, then his grandmother, and then turn each one of his love ones against him. She wanted to save this long man because she yearns to see that smile he used to have, not this horrible mask he wears to keep his sanity. One might say this Goddess loves him. That was probably why her sister did this to him in the first place, to her in a way like no other. She may not be able to help, but there is a way to save him. She must wait and watch him suffer until she could act. She waits and starts to cry silently when she remembers what this man has gone through. She whispers his name, the first word she has said in years "Tenchi".

Tenchi walked into the house and back up to his room. He entered and immediately regretted it. There she was hovering over his bed staring at him like she was a hungry dog and he was a bloodied piece of meat. His mask never faltering, Tenchi backs up a step while shuttering one of his torturers' names, "Ry-Ry-Ryoko?" She smiled a lustful smile and licked her lips as she approached him while purring his least favorite words. "Tenchi! I want to 'play' now!" Oh how he hated that word. He shook his head and she got closer to him. In a more sickingly sweet tone she said "I woke up early so I could 'play' with you…" as she tore of his shirt, not even pausing to look at the scars because she caused a small portion of them and began speaking again "And I want to 'play' first." Forcing her hand down his pants. He shook his head and Ryoko playfully shocked his shoulder, dislocating it and not realizing the damage she caused. He tried to yell at her but she kissed him the minute he opened his mouth and bit his tongue. Tasting his blood she purred, "You taste so good, MY Tenchi" she said, mouth covered with blood and putting emphasis on the 'my. Tenchi couldn't speak because his tongue was bleeding profusely. "What nothing to say?" Ryoko said playing her favorite game. Tenchi said nothing not to let her have the satisfaction of trying to speak. Ryoko smirked and tore away the rest of his clothes before teleporting him away. An hour later she came back laughing while shivering, bruised and blue toned skin Tenchi laid on his bed in the fetal position. Ryoko kissed him on the cheek which his cheek on one of her fangs. "Thanks I had fun" and disappeared into the wall. Outside the door he heard Ryoko say "Your turn. Have Fun." "Oh I will" replied a old voice

The door opened and his grandfather walked in…

His whole "family" does this to him, except his father, who knows and just stays ignorant to the whole thing and sometimes beats him for lying about his guest when Tenchi tries to expose them. Afterwards the damned Tsunami would punish him for saying anything. So after many beatings, Tenchi give up trying to stop the pain. He couldn't do anything but accept his fate while keeping a straight face when around Sasami or the whole "family" is together. It was their game that he was forced to participate in. After his grandfather came Ayeka with her whips and branding irons, Mihoshi with her razors and even scarier was Washu. Tenchi tried forgetting the things that she has done to him but she would engrain them into his memory using her damned inventions. What truly scared Tenchi was when Ayeka's family comes to visit. He was never the same after their first visit. The simple memory of the things they done to him, has him babbling incoherent for hours. And here was Tenchi now. Trying to will himself saner before their arrival. That was when he heard her voice in his head. It wasn't Tsunami but someone else. "Tenchi be strong I'll save you soon. Just don't let your spirit die." He felt peace, love and more importantly, hope in her words and presence. He mumbled out when he felt her presence go. "Wait! At least tell me your name!" he pleaded, desiring the presence to come and comfort him. The presence came back even stronger as he got a picture of the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. He just felt love radiate from her. She knelt down and kissed him softly not like the others and then he knew her name as it came to him. He said it and she nodded and left saying, "Be strong, I'll save you". She left and all Tenchi could say as his spirits rose was the name of his only hope, "Tokimi"
