Shaken: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing - Chapter I - The Killings Start Legal Disclaimer- OK don't sue me! I don't own the very large majority of these characters. (about all I know about the people that do, is that they are Japanese) I love Ayeka, and all of the gang, (but Ayeka and Kiyone the most in the girls section) and I don't want to take away from them. PLEASE DON'T SUE ME! I'm broke anyway. So here's the story. Life was normal in the Masaki home. Ayeka and Ryoko were fighting, Kiyone was yelling at Mihoshi, Washu was in her lab, and Ryo-Ohki was with Sasami, who was making lunch. Little did they know that at that moment, Tenchi was observing them. He knew the girls wanted him. And he could see by the determination in her eyes which one he should pick. About a year from the date we are on, is now. Just like that, gone. It was lunch. Everyone was happy, so Tenchi made an anouncement. "Excuse me everyone. I have a question I would like to ask one of the girls. He slowly walked over to the girl of his choice. Then he got on his knees. "Will you marry me?" He asked her. She fainted. An hour later, Ayeka woke up. "Yes Lord Tenchi. Yes." They would marry in about 6 months. On an ordianry morning three months before they were married, Tenchi was swatting a fly. It flew to Washu, who caght it. She looked at it closely, and flipped a switch. The fly grew in size, to about the size of a small car. Ryoko curiosly opened a door. Smoke was everywhere, and when it cleared, Tenchi was holding a young girl, about 15 years old. She had purple/black hair, dark black eyes and a face that resembled Tenchi's and Ayeka's put together. When she was awake, she introduced herself. "Good afternoon. My name is Ryakami. I have come in search of my mother, Ayeka Jurai Masaki, and my father, Tenchi Masaki. I have used the time machine created by Washu Hakubi to return to the time before my mother was killed." Ayeka was feeling some hate. She didn't know why. She just did. The day went on as usual, Tenchi at the shrine, ect. Ryakami mostly watched Ayeka and Ryoko fight. Then Ayeka just exploded. She grabbed the master key from Tenchi who was comming in the door, and lept at Ryoko. Ayeka was knocked out. Ryakami was mad. VERY mad. She picked up the master key, and lept at Ryoko with amazing speed. Caught Ryoko's shoulder. Tenchi broke them up, but hostalities grew on both sides. Ayeka woke up. And then the hate came over her again. Washu did a DNA test. Positive. Ryakami really was her child. Ryakami must die. And Washu. They both must die. "What am I thinking!" she said out loud. "What Ayeka?" asked Mihoshi. (thats just so typicaly her, but this time she caught on to something) Ayeka, realizing she had spoken said "I didn't say anything." "Oh but you did princess." Ryoko had come down stairs. "DINNER!" Everyone but Ryakami and Ayeka went into the kitchen. Ryoko and Mihoshi, they too must die. Little did everyone realize that Ayeka was fighting with herself non-stop, and would eventually go insane from this. "Kiyone should be back by now." Tenchi said. Ayeka offered to go check on her. (Kiyone ran to MihoKiyo to go change out of uniform.) Tenchi told her to go ahead. So Ayeka walked over and found Kiyone napping. Out of nowhere, she saw Kiyone's blaster. She leved it off, and her icy cold fingers slowly squeezed the trigger. You can't do this. Kiyone is your best friend. So she simply threw the blaster into her little bag type thing, and woke up Kiyone. As they walked to Tenchi's, Ayeka revealed her muderous thoughts to Kiyone. Kiyone swore never to tell, or Ayeka would kill her. Kiyone knew that Ayeka would. After dinner, everyone went into the living room to watch the show about the little aliens, the one where the guy cheats on the girl. Then they all went to bed. Ayeka was the only one awake. Mihoshi and Kiyone stayed because it was raining, and Ryakami was in Tenchi's room. Ayeka carefully sliped out of her room. She sneaked down to Washu's lab, where Washu was sleeping. She leveled the blaster, and pulled the trigger. Washu didn't make a sound. Ayeka slipped out and went back to bed. Washu was it for tonight, and the blaster must be hidden. The next morning, Sasami asked Ayeka of all people to go and fetch Washu. Ayeka went in, and walked right to where Washu's corpse lay. She stood there for about 30 seconds, and then to cover her murder, she ran out yelling for Tenchi. "Tenchi! Washu...Washu's... she's... she's... DEAD!" They investigated, but could find no susect nor a motive. Ayeka stared at Kiyone. I can't let Ayeka get away, but I can't tell on her. I'm her best friend, and I... I... I don't know what to do. Look at her icy eyes. I am the only one who knows about her emotional struggle. I can see it in her eyes. She feels something that is driving her insane, driving her to kill. I must know what it is so I can help. The murder went usolved, so Ayeka decided not to kill that night. So everyone was wide awake. The next morning, Ayeka said what she "thought" happened. "She must have used herself for a test subject." Everyone accepted this theroy, and thought Washu's death nothing.(!) The next morning, Sasami ran screaming, "Ryoko's DEAD! Someone has killed her." Again, no motive, no suspect, nothing. I will kill Sasami. She might see me sneaking out one night. So that night, Ayeka woke up Sasami. They snuck out. This time, Ayeka did not use the blaster. She and Sasami walked through out the woods. Ayeka took Sword Tenchi-ken, and started wounding herself. This shook Sasami. "Ayeka STOP! You will kill yourself." With these words, Sasami hurled herself on Ayeka. Ayeka grasped her shoulders tightly and looked into her ruby eyes. "It's not myself I want to kill" She said as Sasami realized the horrible truth. "You killed them! Ayeka! What has been done to you!" Ayeka said nothing as she grabbed Sasami around the neck. Just before she cut off her head, she said in the coldest of tones "I am a killer. You can do nothing to alter that. That girl, Ryakami, she is my daughter. Good-bye Sasami." "Ayek-" Sasami's head was still attached, but the sword went straight through her heart. Sasami's body thuded the ground, and about 4 hours later, Ayeka passed out due to lack of blood. The next morning, they were found. Sasami was dead. Ayeka was almost dead. Kiyone came in Ayeka's hospital room, and told Ayeka she knew. "Know what?" The cold voice again. "You killed Sasami. Who's your next target?" "Don't know yet." "Why did you kill them?" Ayeka's eyes were on fire. "Ryakami" was all that she said. Kiyone couldn't get her to speak. At all. So concludes this chapter of Shaken: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
