[Disclaimer] I'm back, and hopefully better than ever!! Tenchi isn't mine, but i still wish it was! still checkin on e-bay, and i've extended my search to amazon! A/N - Wow! you like me! you really like me! Thanks for all the good response, it means a lot to me. I'm glad your enjoying the story, and thanks chescaOtaku for giving me the final inspiration to write again. So now without further adue, Song of My Heart: Flames Ryoko was uncontios under the tree, when the situation, got worse. Sparks flew about from lightning, not to far from the place in which she was confined, she woke up when she smelt the smoke. Fire, she was surrounded by it, she yelled for help but no one heard her cry. ~*~ "Hey look..." Mihoshi said when she looked out the window. "there's a fire in the woods Kiyone..." "Mihoshi what are you talking about?!?" Kiyone stated, fairly anoyed, that in the current situation, her partner was talking about fires, but still, she decided to look. "Mihoshi, honestly, there's no fire, oh God.. there's a fire!! Ryoko's out there!" "What are you two talking avout?" Washu said as she looked out the window. "Oh... the fire...." she said casually, then turned around and started to walk away. "FIRE?!?" she swung her head around and looked out the window. "We hafta put it out!" Mihoshi cried. "No kidding..." Kiyone and washu both said. Everyone else was sitting in the kitchen, and finally decided to respond to the commotion. "Whats going on?" Sasami asked. "Yea whats all the fire talk?" Yugi said. "Yea really..." Tenchi said. "Theres a fire and Ryoko might be in it an-" Mihoshi was cut off when Kiyone slapped her hand over Mihoshi's mouth. "Ryoko is out there, theres a chance she could be in the fire.... I think we should go look for her." "Me too." Yugi and Washu said. "Well i'm going to look for her weather any of you are or not..." Hotsuma said quietly, and walked out into the storm, calling Ryoko's name. ~*~ Ryoko teleported out from under the tree that kept her pinned on the ground, but she didn't have a lot of energy, so she was afraid to teleport again, afraid she would end up in the hot flames. "Help!!!" She cried, looking for and small gap she could escape through, she didn't find one, and the smoke was getting thicker. "Help!! somebody!! anybody!!" Ryoko cried as she started to breath in the smoke, she coughed and fell to the ground. "please...." she saw a figure comeing twords her, but didn't get a chance to make the person out, before she blacked out. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ A/N- Wow... i hafta thank Luna for her support.... thanks Luna. I hated this chapter. I wasn't happy at all with how it came out, but my prereaders seem to think otherwise ^_^; oh well I suppose it's up to you... Who is the figure aproaching Ryoko? is it a new enemy? or is it Hotsuma? You'll just hafta wait and see! I love you all and reviews are appreciated. ~Ryoko-sama
