I am a poor helpless soul withought a penny. key --------- ~*~ - change seen (Ryoko POV) *** - change seen (narrorator POV) { } - thought --------- So withought futher adue: The Song of My Heart It was a cool spring day. It had been 5 years since Yugi's apearence, 5 long years. Sasami was 15 now, and she hoped her friend Yugi would wake up soon. I Ryoko, hadn't been the same since Yugi's attack.... I never will be... Tenchi, you broke my heart, and forever that crack will remain... Hotsuma... I thought we were friends.... and it was my secret that deep down, I had been in love with him. Even though he betrayed me... I still love him, but also, I still love Tenchi, my heart sings two different songs for two different people..... when Yugi awakens, I hope she will bring Hotsuma back... I must tell him how I felt, how I feel. I saw a light shineing from the shrine.... Yugi had awoken. after I got everyone and we ran to the shrine, we saw her standing there smileing. I'll never forget the bright smile Sasami also had, she was practically glowing with happiness, I suppose I would be too if i saw my friend for the first time in five years, and then I noticed it. Three red orbs floated out of the cave. I smiled knowing what those orbs were, Yugi's friends, Matori, Tsugaru, and Hotsuma. My face lit up when I thought of him, but no one noticed, then the orbs turned into human forms, they were all exactly as we remembered them. ~*~ A week passed, and Yugi and her "friends" had been in Washu's lab all week, she wanted to examine them, make sure the evil was out of them, and get certain samples that I won't go into. Washu finally came out with a somber look. "Whats wrong?" asked sasami, her voice sounded very worried. "They're all ok... exept one...." Washu replyed "The blonde one, Hotsuma." {oh no...} I thought ~*~ It was late, but I couldn't sleep. I couldn't stop thinking of him, his face, his voice, his touch.... yet.. yet he was evil. Tenchi.... he wasn't evil but he I was almost sure was in love with ayeka, otherwise his heart was still held by Sakuya. Suddenly I was startled by the sound of a door opening. i went into the hall to investigate, but i saw nothing, I levetated so I wouldn't make noise, and flew downstairs, thats when I saw it, Hotsuma running tword the woods.... *** "Damnit!" Ryoko yelled, as she flew out the dor after him. Ryoko's yell woke up the household, so they went downstairs to see what was going on. They saw Ryoko flying after Hotsuma at high speed, Yugi, knowing why due to her phycic power, smiled, which Sasami to look at her questioningly. "Yugi, why are you smileing like that?" Sasami asked. "Oh, no reason.." Yugi replyed. "No reason at all..." she whispered as she walked back up to the room she was shareing with Sasami. "Should we go after her?" Tenchi asked quietly. "No... Just let her do what she must." Yugi replyed before she walked up the stairs and back to the room. *** Ryoko flew quickly after Hotsuma, she knew she could change him... change him to be all good, but she had to catch him and get him to come back first, then she had an idea. She searched the ground and found a large rock, then teleported behind a tree the way he was heading, she waited there then just before he passed, she dropped the rock over his head knocking him out. "Phew... let's go..." she said as she grabbed the colar of his shirt and dragged him back. "Only for love...." she whispered and smiled to herself as she came out of the woods and headed back to the house. ~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~- ~-~-~ A/N.
