Chapter # 12: Dark Memories before the Journey!

Morning wake up call

One of the things that Tenchi enjoyed doing every morning since he, Ryoko and Ayeka had started to sleep together was the
ways he woke them up. He kept thinking of differing and unique ways to wake each one of them up. Yesterday it was licking the
nape of Ayeka's neck, who then woke up with an interesting expression on her face. Somewhere between, surprise and hilarity.
After he got her out of bed, he repeated the procedure with Ryoko and had a quiet make-out session until Ayeka came back
from the bathroom and finally got them out bed.

This morning Tenchi was sucking on Ryoko earlobe. And with some slight giggles Ryoko finally awoke and after a quick kiss,
phased out of the room. Tenchi then started on Ayeka's earlobes, and their make-out session lasted about as long as Tenchi's and
Ryoko's the day before. Tenchi did this every morning so he and the girls remind themselves of their love and affection for each
other. But, today the lightness and happiness they had shared would change.

Doctor's Arrival

Doctor Tojiro Akiyama, noted Psychologist, practicing on the Jurai Home planet, and for the last 3000 years, the Royal Family's
personal Psychologist. Plus, he is a friend of Washu, graduating in her class at the Galactic Science Academy. So, with that
positive backing, he arrived that morning to set up the specific treatment he had been asked to start, first with Ayeka and Ryoko,
then Tenchi. (Due to the Bond he had with the girls.) And also bringing in Washu for treatment of mental and emotional abuse
as she was a captive witness to her daughter's abuse and manipulation's at the hands of Kagato. Dr. Akiyama's main plan was
simple, though he knew it would take most of the Masaki's Trip to Jurai. He would schedule the sessions to work around their
Jurai edict classes. Which would mean morning therapy sessions, then after lunch the Edict classes.
___________________________________________________________________________ _________________

Their first session As Dr. Akiyama invited the two girls into the makeshift office that was a guest bedroom, he asked Ayeka
and Ryoko to take seats that were facing him with a coffee table with some juice and snacks for them to munch on as they started
the session. The doctor had given the girls a review of how they would first deal with what the girls remembered first Ayeka
since she had the most recent trauma. But the doctor knew that Ryoko's problems would take both Ayeka and Tenchi being there
with her to have the support she would need to deal with the horrible memories.

"Ayeka, can I call you that since these are informal sessions." The doctor asked. Ayeka simply and silently nodded. He
continued, "All right, can you tell me what you recall happened between the time Lord Garyu attacked and you realized that you
...hurt Ryoko and Tenchi." When I saw those light swords running through their bodies and I couldn't do a thing, I was yelling
in my head crying to tell them I didn't mean to do this. I wanted so much to kill myself so they would not go through what
happened." She was now sobbing laying her head on Ryoko's shoulder as her co-Fiancé was holding her with a few tear streaks
o her face as well.

"Ayeka, We heard you then and there. Tenchi and I knew you would never intentionally hurt us, but we were in pain and that's
why we asked why. Not really for you as it simply was a statement of fact." Ryoko stopped talking and hugged Ayeka more.

Ryoko, It is hard to forgive myself. I still see the looks on your faces as those swords went through you. I can never ever see
that leave my memories...never!" Ayeka was sobbing freely now with Ryoko hugging and crying as well.

The doctor after observing this then suggested; " Ryoko, can you help Ayeka in how you deal with the things you had to witness
your body do to all those countless people and planets you had destroyed?" Ryoko froze at his suggestion, as the realization of
her horrible memories flooded her mind, and with the link Ayeka's, ... and Tenchi's. Tenchi dropped what he was doing and
rushed to the cabin where the session was going on. As he burst in he saw both his fiancé's crying and a calm a sedate Doctor
Akiyama. "You Highness, thank you for joining us." was all the stoic Doctor said. After a 10 second calming exercise, Tenchi
gathered both of the girls into a hug and for the next few minutes the only noise heard were the whimpering and crying of
Ryoko and Ayeka with some comforting words from their love, Tenchi.

Dealing with the Darkness

After the Girls calmed down, the Doctor then cleared his throat and then gave them a diagnosis of their trauma. Both of you are
suffering through differing degrees of being helpless victims, as well as tools of madmen. That in itself is had enough but then to
have those innocents (Looking at Ryoko) and those whom you love (Looking at Ayeka) die in front of you is going to be very
hard to deal with." He paused as his words sunk in. "But, it can be dealt with. I asked Washu to set up a simulator in one of her
sub-space labs where you can fight the two that caused you the most harm. Plus you can relive the traumatic memories," The
girls cringed at this! "And instead of reliving that horror, you can help them instead, you can even do this together to work
through the memories. Ayeka, then Tenchi Knew that what the Doctor was saying was meant for Ryoko more that Ayeka. They
both now understood that for the next few months, they would help Ryoko relive and work out her memories. They would be
there for her as she Instead of killing innocent men women and children, would instead save them from Kagato. The Doctor
then took a controller from his pocket and with the push of a button, they ended up in the room he mentioned.

For the next few hours There were battled fought back 500 years, to just last month with Kagato being the main antagonist, and
Garyu as well. And though this was just the first session, Both Ayeka and Ryoko came out with smiles on their faces as they had
vanquished their hated puppet masters and help to rescue those. Even though they knew those victims =did not really survive it
let Ayeka, and more to the point Ryoko fight their inner demons...and win! Ayeka had other conflicts which she death with as
well. Thought each session Tenchi and Dr. Akiyama were there for moral and safety support. After about 10 sessions, both girls
had worked most of their aggressive thoughts out and other than a monthly session with the Doctor over Washu's Comm system,
they had become much better adjusted to their memories, and looked forward to their future With Tenchi and their children to
come.

Washu's sessions

With Ryoko and Ayeka dealing with their problem memories, it was Washu's turn. Dr. Akiyama had called her and Yousho
together to her first session. Now the Doctor knew as every Doctor knew that Doctors themselves are the worst patients. Washu
with her ego would make it a hard task for Dr. Akiyama to deal with.

As Washu and Yousho (both in their true forms) sat down in the same chairs Ryoko and Ayeka had been when their session
started their sessions. As Washu held Yousho's hand, the Doctor spoke.

"Professor Washu, I'll get right to the point, We need to deal with what you experienced while trapped on the Souja's under
Kagato's control." Washu who normally would have been very boisterous and craved everyone's attention, was instead sitting
meekly, quietly, and holding onto Yousho's hand with a vise grip. "Washu, It's Tojiro, you classmate, ... and friend, I have
heard enough from Ryoko to imagine the suffering you went through. I also know you were even more helpless since you were
trapped in that crystal in the negative side of the ship."

Washu let out a sight then composed herself as she finally spoke in a quiet meek voice; "I sure did have a up close and personal
view of what Kagato forced my daughter to do."

Don't you feel guilt in that you couldn't do anything to help her" asked Dr. Akiyama. Washu then started shedding some silent
tears with Yousho still firmly gripping her hand she answered, LOUDLY! OF COURSE I FEEL GUILTY, HE... He... TOOK
MY LITTLE GIRL, MY BEAUTIFUL GIRL... he took her and wiped her memories of me and our happy life together, of her
classmates in school, of our friends at the academy, all gone. And to top it off He them made her into a perfect killing machine,
with no emotions, no regard for life, yet I could feel her anguish at having to see herself kill and maim countless people, and
then when he made her implode planets. It was the ultimate betrayal, because she could have killed him with a 10th of her
power, yet his control was so thorough, she wouldn't have an inkling that she could have done that. And I COULDN'T DO A
THING!"

She then broke down in Yousho's arms and cried nonstop for about 10 minutes, then after she calmed down, Dr. Akiyama spoke
to her. "Washu, now you have the chance not only to bring in a new life with the man you love, but you get to have that life
back with Ryoko. Can't you see that?" But, I couldn't be a mother to her now, too much as passed between us, and I..."

"BULLSHIT! You are denying a chance to be close to her and to her spouses, don't blow a chance like that Washu." Dr.
Akiyama answered. "You have a man who loves, you, a family who loves you... a daughter who needs you, you need to take this
and run with it. Be that mother to her that she vaguely remembers, or at the very least her friend, and her confidant."

"But, but she'll have Ayeka for that." Washu said shakily.

"You know you can have ore than one best friend Washu, so try for them, for Yousho and you baby, for Ryoko, but most of all
try for yourself, It will get better Washu" said Dr. Akiyama.

Slowly a smile crept up Washu's face, she stopped crying, and slowly let go of Yousho (Except his hand) and slowly understood
all that Tojiro had told her. It was sinking in, and it slowly dawned on her that she would have to be a mother now, for her
unborn baby in her belly. She patted her stomach and smiled at Yousho. Wordlessly they got up nodded a goodbye to Tojiro and
left the session.

Washu's sessions were shorted and it took less time for her to deal with her dark memories as the other had. So, when it came
time to leave only the girls had to see the Doctor through the trip. Now every three months for the next few years Washu visited
with Dr. Akiyama for some informal sessions, but with her focus on the now, and not then. She was going to be a Mom again,
get married to the man she loved, and finally have a relationship with not just one daughter but a daughter and son-in-law as
well. This proved to be the turning point in Washu's mind.

Now as the sessions died down everyone was excited about the trip to Jurai, though due to the time in their pregnancy, there are
more than just the events of a trip involved, but certain cravings that all four girls will experience while on board!

A place in space out of time

"D3, how goes our observation of my sister's family?" asked a rather stoic Lady Tokimi, Goddess of Justice, and Truth, but also
called the Goddess of Darkness.

"Milady, all is as according to plan, You sister and her young are going through counseling for their trauma's while our agent id
getting closer to you other sister's avatar." D3 answered.

"I am glad I didn't lower myself to these mortal's levels, to experience that type of emotional pain is a wasted effort. Now what
of the plan, is it coming together?" asked Tokimi

"Yes Milady, everything ids as it should be, though I have some reservations as to whom we have entrusted this mission to." said
a concerned D3.

"Then for your concerns keep an eye on him, and if you feel he has overstepped his mission objectives, then tell me.
Understood?" said a now confidant Tokimi.

"By all means Milady" and D3 disappear.

Soon sister's the future will be here and I hope you are ready for it.

A dark set of eyes looked on a view screen as the Masaki clan was loading their ship for the trip to Jurai. The dark figure said to
himself; "We'll see if they reach Jurai in pieces, ...or at all!
