You Happy?

Ch.3: Death of a Dream

Tenchi woke up in a field of flowers that went on for miles; millions of different types of flowers invaded his senses. Each flower a different type. Before he could ask his question Tokimi appeared and answered it for him. "No Tenchi. We are not in your mind's landscape." He turned around to find her lying not far from where he was. "Where are we?" He said noticing a black rose that glowed a faint blue. He bent down to pick it up, but Tokimi stopped him with her slender arm. "Tenchi you need to know this. This…" She gestured to the field of flowers "is the true form your soul." He gave her a very confused expression so she continued. "Before you came this place was all barren. It was dead land. The minute your body touched the ground, that lone rose grew to full bloom," pointing at the rose in the ground, "and then all this plant life grew like wild fire." Tenchi looked amazed at all the flowers. "I did all this? I could have never imagined I could see something like this out of my dreams." Tokimi sighed "But Tenchi you have done this before. You gave it all to me as a gifted when you were young." Tenchi shook his head in disbelief backed up slowly "When I was young? Tokimi what are you talking about I only known you for a couple of months." Tokimi smiled but a couple of tears fell from her face and onto the ground, causing a couple flowers to turn into crystal. "No Tenchi you have known me ever since you were born." She picked up a lone seed of the ground a handed it to Tenchi. The minute he looked at it, the seed spilt and began to grow. It pulsed like a heartbeat and the newly formed plant grew bigger and bigger. Tenchi got the idea to put the plant on the ground so he walked off about seven feet and placed it on the ground. He kissed one of the roots and whispered, "Please grow strong if Tokimi is telling the truth." He backed up and waited. Nothing happened He turned towards Tokimi. "See I am no life giver." Suddenly the ground shuddered and Tenchi fell to the ground. A giant tree exploded from the ground and reached into the heavens. He could not even see the top of it. He stared in amazement "You weren't lying" She shook her heads with a smile on her face. "Tenchi, do you want to know the truth? How you really grew up?" He nodded and turned towards her. She hand the black glowing rose in her hands the thorns not piercing the skin. He took the flower into his hands and stared into it. Tokimi touched one of the thorns with her fingertip and it began to bleed. She held it out on to the flower and a drop of blood hit the petals. The flower faded from black to a strong glowing blue and the thorns began to grow. They turned into vines and began to wrap around Tenchi's arm. He started to panic but Tokimi held his other hand claming him instantly. Unknown to Tenchi, His mark appeared on his forehead. The seven triangles interwoven into a circle suddenly fade and disappear as a flower imprint appeared on his forehead. It was a rose that had bloomed with ten petals. Half the petals were the dark black and the rest were the purest white and the flower seemed to flow. The thorn vine reached up and touched Tenchi right where the new mark was and Tenchi began to remember, truly remember

Flashback

Tenchi age: 4 months

The baby was giggling and its mother or father couldn't found out why. Even from birth the baby never cried, just smile and giggled. The parents were happy that they got such a happy child. If they had a sense of the divine, they would have seen a beautiful woman making faces at the child and tickling it.

Tenchi age: 3 years old

He was playing in a field of flowers with the friend he had known forever when another person appeared. Tenchi saw that she was pretty but still thought his friend was even prettier, but his friend always taught him to be polite so he gave the new person a flower. The new person smiled at Tenchi and then smacked him across the face. Tenchi sat on the ground and cried for the first time since he was born. The new person laughed at the kid's misfortune. Tokimi picked up the boy of his knees what pressed her hand against his bruised cheek. It felt better immediately. Tenchi smiled and so did Tokimi "Go play over there." She said. Tenchi nodded and left, but he just ducked behind the bushes so he could listen. "So sister after 15,000 years of searching. I find you here. Still sealed in that rock" Tokimi glared at Tsunami. "What do you want? I have not seen you for thousands of years and now here you are." Tsunami laughed an utterly wicked laugh. "Surely you know sister. I have sense a power strong enough to house my all-mighty presence. That damn tree you and sister has sealed me in has finally weakened." Tsunami started laughing "And here you are, playing with my future host." Tokimi's face contorted in fear, anger and horror. She began yelling to Tsunami, "Don't you dare mess with Tenchi. Don't you fucking dare" Tsunami began laughing. "Oh what can you do about it? You are still sealed in that damn rock." Tenchi seeing his friend hurt emotionally did the only thing that came to his young mind; he threw a rock at Tsunami. Somehow some of his powers activated and he beamed the all mighty, Tsunami in the head. She fell on to the ground and Tokimi began laughing. Tenchi ran up and hugged her. "It's 'kay T'kimi" He said as well as he could "The mean lady go bye bye!" Tsunami picked herself off the ground. "I'll get you for that you little brat" She approached Tenchi and Tokimi menacingly. Tenchi screamed at Tsunami "GO AWAY!!!!" His powers activated again as Tsunami suddenly found herself stuck in that tree again in Jurai. She tried to move out of it, but she couldn't move. She began screaming bloody murder.

Tenchi age: 8 years old.

Tenchi was running away from home crying at what he just saw. He ran the entire way to the cave to see his friend and hoped that she could help him. She was in their special field that he learned to make for her. "Tenchi? What is the matter" Tenchi hugged her. "That scary lady came back. She said about punishing me and she started to hit me over and over again. Granny and Momma tried to stop her, but she told Gran'pa to take care of them. Gran'pa made Granny and Momma go away forever!" Tokimi started to cry while Tenchi continued his story. "Then the scary lady put her fingers on my head and it hurt so much. Afterwards she let me go and began laughing." Tokimi looked at him for the first time during his whole story and was totally shocked at what she saw. Tsunami's mark was burned into his forehead. Then she heard Tsunami's laughter throughout the entire forest. "You see sister I have gotten what I want. I have once again broken the seal that boy placed upon me and I have punished him for his actions." Tenchi clenched her robes as Tsunami and a cyan colored lady appeared. "Now sister it is time to punish you." Tokimi hugged Tenchi as she watched his eyes glow white for a second. He looked up at her and began screaming. "What is wrong Tenchi" the little boy began screaming, "Leave me alone!!!! You killed my Granny and Momma. Go away! Where's Ryoko?" He turned around and saw the cyan haired lady, "Ryoko help me!" He ran towards her, and Tokimi's heart broke. "Tenchi you do not remember me? I am your childhood friend" Tenchi shook his head "You lie! Ryoko is my best friend, I known her forever." Tokimi began crying again and didn't do a thing as Tsunami sealed her deeper into the cave, as Tenchi played with Ryoko

Tenchi was amazed, angry and depressed all in one as all his memories came back. He looked at Tokimi and hugged her; "Sorry." Tokimi wiped her tears. "I tried to save you using good hearted people, but Tsunami would just have you kill them" Tenchi looked at her "You don't mean who I think you mean" She nodded "Yes Kagato. He was such a wise, kind-hearted man. He was the true creator of Ryoko before Washu stole her away. Washu even altered Ryoko's true past making it seem it was him and not her who was controlling Ryoko all those years. He tried to get his daughter back, but my sister had you kill him before he could restore Ryoko and then altered everyone's memories." Tenchi gasped as the memory of three years ago came back. "Kagato tried to remove her mark off of me didn't he?" Tokimi nodded "He did succeed until Yosho threatened to kill your father unless you allowed Tsunami to reimprint her mark. I couldn't get to you fast enough. Tsunami personally laughed at me and condemned Kagato's soul to be tortured as a slave in Yosho's dreams." Tenchi fell to the ground "Why, Why would grandfather cause me all this pain. First Grandma, then mother, then father and know you're telling me that every time he goes to sleep, he gets to torture Kagato. That is it!!!!!" He stood up as his own symbol glowed and ten lighthawk wings burst out the ground encircling him, five of them glowed a bright white and the rest glowed a dark black. They rotated around him in a crazed frenzy; Tokimi had to back up a couple steps and watched in amazement. The whole field responded to Tenchi's anguish, growing chaotically all over the place, overwhelming Tokimi. "Tenchi! What are you doing?" Tenchi turned towards her. "I am sick of being screwed over." Two wings merged into Tenchi, forming armor that glowed black and white with red and blue vines appeared over his body and armor. "I'm sick of the fact that my life was taken away." Two more wings hovered over his hands, forming two lighthawk swords, one black, and one life. "I'm I am sick of all this innocent blood on my hands. I am going to get Kagato's soul and some answers from grandfather as to why he killed my family! As to why he constanly abused me! As to why he made me a killer!!!!!!!!!" The rest of the wings imbedded themselves into Tenchi's back, making him look like a six winged angel of death, a very pissed off angel of death. "I may not have my all my past back but I will get some justice." With that he floated into the air and disappeared into thin air. Tokimi looked at the field now covered with billions of flowers and smiled (Finally he is starting to learn the truth!) "Oh Tenchi I hope it doesn't hurt you as much as it has hurt me." Tokimi then wondered off looking at all the new flowers.

Yosho was at his shrine talking to a distraught Tsunami, when he was suddenly punched very hard. He flew through several walls and hit a tree outside. He struggled onto his feet and saw his grandsonlooking very very pissed "Hello Grandfather, we need to talk"
