Ch.4 Part 1: Requiem For A Father's Soul

"Hello Grandfather, we need to talk" Tenchi said as he watched his once loved grandfather raise unevenly. He floated down to the ground, purposely ignoring the pale Tsunami, who had tried to make herself as small as possible. With a flick of his wrist, Yosho floated into the air and slammed into the nearest tree several times. Tenchi then dropped him to the ground and crouched over him. "I have one question. Why?" Yosho said nothing and Tenchi got enraged even further. Two wings detached from his back and pinned the silent Yosho deep into the wall. The edges of the wings were cutting into his skin as well as burning it. Yosho screamed out in pain. "Why?" Tenchi repeated a little more silently. "Why what?" Yosho responded; acting like he didn't know what Tenchi was talking about. Tenchi walked up silently and punched his grandfather in the gut. "Don't play dumb, I remember. I remember it all. Now tell me how could you kill my grandmother and Mother!" Yosho grinned making his face contort in a mass of wrinkles. "Why you ask. Simply because I wanted you to suffer as much as I have. They hated me. They never talked to me, after you were born. I had to beat my wife and daughter many times because they protected you many times. Then graceful Lady Tsunami offered me something. Something I couldn't pass up." Yosho began laughing again, but Tenchi stopped him by breaking a arm with a strong kick to the joint. He said in very slow pauses "What in heavens name did she offer to make you kill your wife and daughter?" Yosho grinned an isane grin, as suddenly Tenchi was looking at himself, only with longer hair. "She gave me youth and immortality, She made me a near GOD, just so I could do what I wanted to do. I had so much fun killing them. You didn't hear their screams. Oh I do; it was much pleasurable to hear my daughter beg for your life." Tenchi in horror took a couple steps back, but quickly regained himself in anger as he began beating his grandfather over and over again. "YOU FUCKING MONSTER!!!!!!!" Yosho laughed as his wounds healed instantly "You can keep me here, but you can't kill me." Tenchi stopped hitting him and sat down with his legs crossed, he looked around to fins Tsunami has disappeared. He sat there watching his now young grandfather bounded to the wall by his wings. He thought of his wings and a name came to him. "Kagato, tell me about him." Yosho smirked. "So you do remember everything, how does it feel to be a slayer of the good?" Tenchi stayed calm "Don't avoid the subject." His grandfather smirked, "I give you one better. You know that Kagato, your mother, and your grandmother are not really dead." He laughed at the shock on Tenchi's face. "It all started with the dying breaths of your Grandmother and mother. I simply wished that I could kill them every night, just to get pleasure. Tsunami heard my thoughts, and healed them. Afterwards she sealed their minds, bodies and souls into my soul. I went to sleep that night and found that I could torture them anytime I want." Tenchi's face was visible with anger. "What about Kagato, why did you ask her to seal him into you?" Yosho's eyes glazed over. "Simple you stupid boy. Kagato just wanted his daughter back from Washu. So every night I force him to take his daughter. He would beg for me to kill him, but that isn't fun, besides he reminds me of how you were when you were young. Maybe if we had not molested you every single day, you would have turned out like him." Yosho laughed even louder. His laughter vibrated through the forest, snapping the last of Tenchi's control. He got up and walked right up to his grandfather's face. "I going to rescue them and find out any other secret that you may have in your disturbed mind. Then I'm going to kill you." Yosho spit in Tenchi's face. "I'll like to see you try" Tenchi smiled and his armor disappeared and the twin swords that hovered over him also disappeared as eight wings appeared in front of him. Yosho lost some of his insanity. "Wh-wh-what are you doing" Tenchi stayed motionless but said "I'm going to get them out, even if I have to go in myself." The wings that weren't pinning Yosho down were twisting into each other. The twisted and contorted until there was a large funnel shape with swirls of white and black light. The hollowed end was pointed right between Yosho's eyes, while the wide end was wide enough for a person to enter it. Tenchi walked calmly into it and suddenly a beam of light came out the small end and went inside Yosho. The funnel imploded on itself and went straight into Yosho, causing him vast amounts of pain. Tenchi was gone, but Yosho was stilled held be the only toe wings. "Tsunami help me!!!!" The Goddess appeared suddenly with a grin. "The fool. He possessed your body, now I can put my mark back on and control him forever and with his new power, I'll never need another host!" She walked up towards Yosho. Right when she was about to touch his forehead. The wings confining him snapped out like a snake and slapped Tsunami into a couple of trees and boulders. Yosho began getting very scared as the Goddess just sat and cursed. That wasn't scared him, what scared him was that she had an animalistic grin on here face"

In The Realm of Souls: Kashuto AKA Yosho Masaki.

Tenchi walked threw the portal to find five crystal doors in a buch of fields. He went to the oldest and found the words etched into the door Yosho Masaki. He tried opening but the door would not open. He went to the next one and read the door, Sakura Masaki. The minute he touched the door, chains wrapped all around it and the door would only open a bit. Tenchi took a look inside and found a sweet elderly woman crying softly. Then the door was slammed close by the chains. Tenchi couldn't break the chain, so he went to the next one. The next door also had chains on it and the door said, Achika Masaki. He got the doors open a little further and was shocked. His mother was looking right at him. She was wearing a formal robe like he always remembered her wearing.. "Mom?" She nodded and reached her hand out to stroke his cheek. In a soft voice she said. "My dear Tenchi. It has been a while. You have grown up so so much." Tears came out Tenchi's eyes and he clasped the hand that was against his cheek. "Don't worry I'll get you out right now." She shook her head. "No Tenchi, you must rescue the one they call Kagato. He has suffered the most. He is about to give up. You have to force all of us to redeem ourselves we'll never be able to leave" She smiled as she saw Tenchi nod. "Good boy." The doors closed as she let go of his hand. "Hurry" was the last thing he heard before the door closed. Tenchi with an even stronger determination walked to the door marked, Kagato Hakubi. He went for the handle and even more chains appeared. Tenchi wasted no time, he summoned his lighthawk sword and sliced all the chains in one swoop. The sword disappeared and Tenchi opened the door. Nothing but darkness came out, Tenchi couldn't even see inside. Taking a gulp and a couple of deep breaths until he remembered (Wait this is the realm of spirit's, there is no air.) Tenchi laughed despite the seriousness of what he has to do. (Ready or not hear I come) Tenchi thougt and with that he jumped into the darkness.

Tenchi opened his eyes to find himself aboard the Souja, Kagatos ship, but it wasn't the dark sterial place it was last time he was there. It looked like a giant forest. He looked far off and saw a very young Kagato reading a book to a cute little girl with cyan colored hair and golden eyes (Ryoko!) Tenchi thought. (Yes my daughter) came a more masculine voice. Tenchi looked around and found he wasn't the only one watching this scene. Attached to the wall was a much older Kagato, his hair much longer, his once formal clothes now rags, and a big bushy beard. There were thousands of dark vines attached to his body as he was merged into the wall. (Masaki Tenchi. We meet again) Came his voice to his head. (What are we watching?)

(My life before Tsunami ruined it.) The scene shifted to a burning lab. Young Kagato was holding his bleeding torso, as Washu laughed at him. "If you want your daughter to live, I suggest you stop." She hold up an energy sword and scratched the unconscious Ryoko's face. The young Kagato put his head down in shame "Please don't hurt her." Washu laughed and imprisoned him into a crystal, but not before saying. "Why would I destroy such an interesting experiment? Using the cells of your dead wife and yourself to make the little girl she could never have." She ripped a picture of his desk. In it was a woman who looked like a older Ryoko, only much more feminine. Washu snorted. She turned towards Kagato whose head wasn't imprisoned. "Do you know my prized student that she didn't suddenly turn sterile and die; I poisoned her." Young Kagato's face contorted in fury. "How dare you!!" Washu laughed, "Oh It was fun. She thought I was helping her get better the whole time. Do you want to know a secret? I knew about your project so I helped." "WHAT DID YOU DO???" "I put some of my genes into your experiment." (Washu did all this to you?), Tenchi asked (…) "She isn't my experiment!! She is my daughter!" Young Kagato was crying now. "Hmm daughter, I could get used to say that phrase" She licked Ryoko's cheek and said in a sing-song voice "Hi I'm Washu, and this is 'MY' daughter Little Ryoko" She sealed Young Kagato completely as she began rewriting Ryoko's memory. The scène faded and the room turned black. The only light came from Tenchi and Kagato (She took her away and altered her memories. Damn Washu) Tenchi thought. (It wouldn't matter) Tenchi turned towards the imprisoned man (What) (I have been sealed here for all eternity by Tsunami's holy word) Tenchi pat the guy on the head (Tsunami is becoming mortal. Her decree is no longer valid.) Kagato's aura brightened but the dimmed (There is something else) (What?) (The Ryoko, you know is just a soulless puppet. I known since I last saw her. Her soul was taken AND I KNOW WHERE IT IS. I JUST CAN"T GET IT TO HER! Oh gods I'm such a terrible father!) The once proud man, now broken, began to sob. Tenchi smiled (Do you want your daughter back?) Kagato raised his head and very strongly he replied (Yes more then anything) Tenchi summoned his remaining eight wings. (Then you must have faith. You may have said you want to save your daughter but do you mean that?) Kagato shuddered and creaks of light began to surround the black room and his bonds began to wither off (YES. I want to save my daughter) (Want?) (No I have to save my daughter!) Even More creaks appeared in the black room as the darkness faded and light began to shine through. Kagato was moving against his bonds (Why do you want to save your daughter?) Kagato faltered (I-I-I…) Tenchi sighed and began walking towards to exit as the room faded black to black (If you do not know, then there is no hope for Ryoko. I guess she'll be calling Washu "mommy" forever) (NO!!!! I will not let that happen) (Why?) (Because) (Because what?) Kagato's face soften and he spoke "Because……..I love her" The darkness shattered as the room was bombarded with light and all of Kagato's bonds crumbled to dust. The door flew open and Tenchi found himself outside the door. (Have I failed?) "No you haven't" said a voice from inside the door he was facing. The door opened and Kagato walked out. Behind him the door crumbled to dust and disappeared in thin air. He wasn't in any shaggy rags but a formal robe decorated with stars. He bowed "Thank you Masaki Tenchi. You have redeemed me." Tenchi lifted Kagato from his bowing and shook his head "No, you have redeemed yourself." Kagato smiled and looked at the other doors sealed closed. "So we need to free the others." He walked to the door that contained his mother and placed his hand on the door. The chain's shattered and the door flew open. "I cannot go with you Tenchi. You must do this on your own. I will await your return." Kagato said. Tenchi nodded and walked into the door. Afterwards the door slammed shut. "You were right Tokimi he is special. He manage to get me to redeem myself for my worst failure" Kagato said. Moments later, Tokimi appeared and nodded "Now we see if he can save his mother."
