What does it mean to have a mother It was a bright and beautiful morning in the masaki home. Tenchi woke up to the usual fighting of Ayeka and Ryoko. Kiyone had to dig Mihoshi out of her tv show space police police men.Washu was in her lab. And Nobouki was reading hentai comics. "Ryoko unhand Lord Tenchi!" Ayeka screamed at the top of her lungs . Ryoko shepishly looked at Ayeka and said" Oh princess don't let your face look like that you'll ruin your wrinkles!" Akeka Screamed. "Let go of him ! Now ! " Ryoko was frozen at a thought . She let go of Tenchi and phased through the ceiling. She flew far beyond the house to her favorite tree . Sadly she sat on it's lowest branch. Ryoko looked at the sky sadly remembering a day . (scenery changes to a dim lighted room full of gadgets and computers ) "Ohh come on my little Ryoko....you can do it ..." said a adult Washu looking at a 5 or 6 year old Ryoko from a corner. The little Ryoko nodded in agreement. She closed her eyes and concetrated. In very few moments a red glow of energy was created in the palm of Ryoko's hand. "I did it ..I did it .." Ryoko said in glee. Washu looked at the girl waiting for something more "Now Ryoko concetrate." Ryoko nodded again and did as told. Soon she closed her hand into a fist and her famious energy sword was formed for the first time.Ryoko let it go and ran to her mother and hugged her tightly saying " I did it ..Did you see mommy?" Washu nodded "Yes sweetie I did" (Memory fades and Ryoko is sitting on the tree branch) "..Mmmm..." Ryoko wondered if that is what it meant to have a mother. She went and sat on her rock and thought about something that had happen to her while training under Kagato. (Scene changes to a training room that is dark and scary looking) "Now Ryoko! Now ! " Kagato leaned forth and shot a energy blast toward Ryoko. Ryoko flinched and fell backward. "You stupid creature...what would your mother think...please a demi goddess. Ha" Ryoko weakly and slowly got up and waited for a response from Kagato.She kept quiet knowing her silence will do her some good.Kagato shot another blast but this time instead of ignoring it and letting it hit her she blocked it . "Ahhh!" Ryoko powered up but Kagato stole the advantage. "Here Ryoko a present from your mother!" Kagato kicked Ryoko as hard as he could in her stomach leaving her to waste. "Ugh...*cough,cough* .." Ryoko coughed up blood. "You know Ryoko ...Since you plan to die I might as well tell you .....I killed your mother...Now you will never see her again...! Hahahahahahah !" Kagato laughed a evil laugh that seemed to make Ryoko stronger.Her rage grew and grew. She couldn't take it . She loved her mother so much she would do anything for her. She slowly and weakly got up to her knees powering up as much as she could. Kagato laughing his head off did not see this manuver. Ryoko's three real gems glowed a magnifacent bright red glow.Ryoko took out her red energy sword, and aimed it at kagato (who was still laughing like a psycho-path). "Ahhhhhhhh......! " Ryoko cut right though Kagato, But likly knew it was his shadow she returned her attention to the real one. "Well Ryoko just like your mother..." (Memory fates ) "Oh...Kagato ..how can I stay angry at you..after all because of you I had met Tenchi..." Ryoko lays on the rock and closes her eyes. In that instint Ryoko hears a familer voice from the backround. "What do you think will happen little Ryoko?" Ryoko turns around to see Washu . "Blast that link , Washu!" Washu smiles a evil smile and says "I know it can be so annoying sometimes Huh?" Ryoko smirks. "What ever!What do you want?" Washu looks at Ryoko. "What do you mean ? You called me." Ryoko looked at her as if she was right. "Yeah so ..? You know everything?" Ryoko looks at her . "Yes of course I do. After all I am the scienctific guiness in the universe." Ryoko turns away from Washu , unsure of what to say. "You know Ryoko , before you were captured by Kagato we used to share everything together.." Ryoko turned around to see Washu crying."Uh...Washu...hey come on ...I don't do good with crying.." Ryoko looked sad that her mother was crying. "Ryoko ...I still remember the day you were captured...you think I wasn't there for all your adventures but I was..." Washu turned to Ryoko." You know ...Ryoko ...I may be the scienctific guiness of the universe but there may be one thing I will never be ..."Ryoko looked even more sadened than before. " Your mother..." Washu sobbed in her hands and Ryoko was at a loss. This was one thing Ryoko could not solve . She didn't want to see Washu like this . "Washu!" Washu looked up to see her daughter dead serious."Stop this ! now! I thought you were stronger than this ...Washu ! " Washu looked at the ground sadly . For a couple of moments there was silence. The spring breeze was in the air and both mother and daughter could hear laughter from the Masaki home. Then after a few minutes of silence Ryoko began to talk. " You know Washu .. when children grow up ...they have a dream ...some to be famious ..others to marry and have a big family .... mine was to find out who I was...when I went to do missions there was always some one who knew you...as the greatest scientific guiness in the universe or the one who destroyed the Science Achedamy. I always thought of you as the greatest person who could be in my life..Tenchi is first." Ryoko looked away from Washu who was in tears. After a few more moments of silence Washu spoke. " Did they really say to you I destroyed the Science Achedamy? " Ryoko looked at her and laughed . "Yeah ...they did ...I remember once..I was walking down this street of this planet and one or two boys called out ...'Hey did you ever hear of the wacko who destroyed the Science Achedamy?' or something like that . They would always mention your name..too" Both of them laughed for hours not even once thinking about the others who were getting worried about them but decided to start eating without them. "Hey Washu ..Thank you for being there these days ." Washu got up and said ." No problem my little Ryoko. " Ryoko smirked at what she called her but ignored it . "You know I don't really want to go back home just yet ...I think i'll go to the osen for a while , wanna come? " Washu looked at Ryoko shocked at the offer. "Uh...sure why not ? Let's go . " On the way there Ryoko was thinking to herself. Washu heard every word and smiled . Whatcha think ? It was kinda short , sorry ...I'll try to make the next chapter longer.
