Renraw Muyo part 1-First Bell by Chibi Ryoko Hakubi disclaimer:i don't own tenchi muyo .hell ,i don't own any anime companies i wish i did but i don't so lets get on with the fic okay, the Casumi in this story is not Kasumi from ranma I made his character up.And the Serena in this story is not the Serena from sailormoon this one was created by Tori S. Sparkle is Zenaida M.'S property Neon is Melissa O.'s Tihoshi is Tiffany O's Sasami was bored .She would go visit Washu but she didn't want to risk getting experimented on. ***BOOM*** ''WASHU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'' Sasami ran from the steps of the shrine to the Masaki house, once she was inside the house she went to Washu's lab, she saw that Washu had laid out clothing for all the girls except Mihoshi and Kiyone. ''Whats the meaning of this,Miss Washu?''asked Ayeka . ''I thought it was about time that you all went to an earth school''Washu said with an air of importance.''Oh cool'' exclaimed Sasami.''Mom, why do we have to go to school?''whined Ryoko.''Because,Dear daughter,you three want to win Tenchi's heart,but he won't leave earth,so you all must learn to live on earth by supporting yourselves until Tench decides to marry one of you,and even if he doesn't choose one of you,you will still know how to live on earth''Washu explained ''But Miss Was-'' ''Call me Little Washu'' she whined.''Little Washu,I know that I could become a normal girl without going to school''began Ayeka but Washu cut her off' ''Azusa gave me permision to send you and Sasami to school'' ''Oh'' Ryoko couldn't wait to go to school because she knew that she would be in Tenchi's classes,atleast she hoped so ''Lets check if these school uniforms fit'' said Washu handing each of them a pink dress. ''Mommy, this is not my color''Ryoko held the dress up to herself. ''Too bad Ginkoneko-chan you have to wear it''Washu turned around to see what Sasami looked like in her dress. Sasami admired herself in the mirror ''Okay you guys get dressed''Washu said and clapped her hands to get their attention. Ryoko gathered up her clothes and went phased into her uniform but forgot to put something on. She picked up one of the objects and held it in front of her. "What's this?" "You don't know what a bra is?" Washu asked incredulously. "No wonder your breasts are sagging!" "THEY ARE NOT!" *****The next week***** Tenchi couldn't help but smile as Ryoko twirled beside him, almost flying ,she was so happy. He frowned. She WAS flying. "Ryoko," he said warningly,"you're doing it again." "Oops," Ryoko said, and dropped to the ground. They walked on for a few minutes, and then she tripped and fell. ''This is intolerable Ryoko,if someone were too see you flying then Tenchi would be labled as a freak''Ayeka began''Gee thanks''muttered Tenchi.Ayeka continued''And you can't even seem to walk right,why don't you just stay home Ryoko'' ''Because,prissy princess,I want to learn,I want to be normal,but mostly.....I want to .........GET ON YOUR NERVES AND WIN TENCHI HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!'' Sasami thought *** ''Girls, please, don't fight over me at school because we have to live there and I don't want to feel like we're back home again'' ''OK'' thought Sasami *** Soon enough ,Sasami,Ryoko and Ayeka were at the secretary's desk handing over their transcripts that Washu forged for them last night.''Okay now we must have you take the placement exams''the secretary said.Then the secretary glanced at Tenchi.''Mr.Masaki get to class''she said, Tenchi looked at his watch and looked down the hall and ran like hell to his first class.Sasami giggled. *** Ryoko, Ayeka, and Sasami were seated and Mr.Donitsu handed them their exams. thought Ryoko looking at the test,when she was born Washu had put a large amount of knowledge into her head.She glanced at Ayeka,she was chewing on her pencil.Sasami was doing as well as possible. *** Later on inside the vice-principal's office, a frantic conversation was going on. The tester was having a nervous breakdown, having never seen scores like Ryoko's before. "She solved every single one of the mathematics, chemisty, and physics questions Mr.Donitsu! Even the ones that were well into college level!"The tester opened up the booklet and showed him her work. "Look at this one.It takes most students twenty minutes, and usually requires at least two extra sheets." He pointed to the lone number on the page. "She just wrote down the answer! No work, no calculations, she just knew it!" "So then she was cheating." "That's what I thought, until I noticed that on some of the questions, her answers differed from the ones in the book. The answers in the book were wrong, and HERS were correct! She's a genius!" So Ryoko was made a 12th grader with Ayeka and they were in the same class with Tenchi.Sasami was made a 9th grader. *** It was lunchtime and Ryoko and Ayeka headed to the cafeteria,While Sasami went to meet some of the other 9th graders and ate with them. Ryoko opened the cafe doors Before she knew it, she found herself surrounded by some anxious boys. "Hi! I'm Ayeka "Ayeka said,thinking that the boys were interested in her "What's your name?"a boy asked Ryoko,and Ayeka was taken aback "Do you have a boyfriend?" "Ah...uh" Ryoko stammered. She had no idea what to do. Normally she would have just killed these jerks, but she didn't want to make a scene "Um..." "What's your sign?" "What are your measurements?" "You free Saturday night?" Then Ryoko had snapped,''ALRIGHT BACK OFF I'M TAKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'' The crowd seperated,''Nice going Ryoko''Ayeka whispered,actually meaning it. ''Thanx''Ryoko said .''I'm going to find some upperclass people''Ayeka said and walked over to a bunch of snobby looking girls so Ryoko had to sit alone.''Hello''said a girl with blue hair and hazel eyes ''hi''chorused two other girls one with blond hair and blue eyes and the other had black hair and black eyes.''HI!!!!!!!!!!!''exclaimed a girl with light brown skin unlike the others,and green hair and golden eyes that looked purple if you look at them from an angle and a darker skinned red head with brown eyes.''Hello I'm Ryoko.Who are you guys?''Ryoko asked.The green haired one spoke up.''I'm Princess Syiancasumi Barton,just call me Casumi.Thats Sparkle she's a princess too,those other two are Serena and Neon and thats Tihoshi. Casumi pointed at the other girls.Ryoko thought <*don't be like that,I'm not snobby like other princesses*>Casumi's voice filled Ryoko's head ''Hey,you read my mind!''Ryoko said shocked ''Yeah its a habit''said Casumi nonchalantly.''Do you know that purple haired brat over there?''asked Sparkle jerking her finger at Ayeka. ''She's a bitch'' ''Yeah, I know,there was a government meeting and all the royals had to go and Ms.Purple over there was claiming that SHE was a model princess.''Sparkle spat,remembering the moment.''How can she be a model princess if she can't even get a boyfriend or rule her kingdom!'' Ryoko smirked. Casumi tried to get the conversation off Ayeka.''Do you want to sit with us''she asked "Well, I was waiting for someone," she began, but then Washu's words about friends flashed through her head, *** "Friends?" Ryoko had said, dumbfounded, as she dressed. "What do I need friends for?" Washu sighed breathily. "You can't go through life alone. Tenchi has friends, and classmates, and people who were part of his life long before we showed up. Did you ever think he may have had a girlfriend?" She noticed the miserable look on Ryoko's face, and quickly corrected himself. "I doubt he did though, Tenchi's a little clumsy around girls." "I still don't get it." *I keep on forgetting how sheltered she really is,* Washu thought to herself. "Look, Ryoko, a friend is someone you can count on to help you when you need it, and who you help when they need it." A moment of revelation brought her the answer. "Like Sasami, but someone your own...age, as it were. Girls who you can talk to about clothing, and your hobbies, and..." she chuckled, "...boys." "Boys?" Ryoko repeated. "MM-HMM," Washu said with a conspiratorial grin. "Who else to teach you how to snare Tenchi than other Earth girls?" *** and she decided it was worth a try. "But as long as I can keep an eye out for him, I'd be glad to!" "Him?" Sparkle echoed with a knowing smile as they moved to sit under a tree. "Who's 'him'?" Ryoko got a slightly dreamy look. "Tenchi." The three girls looked at her in surprise. "Tenchi MASAKI?" "Yep," Ryoko responded. "Do you know him?" "He was in our class at our old school and in our class at this one as well," Neon responded. "But he was always such a quiet type, since he spent so much time at his grandfather's shrine." Casumi giggled. "He's always so nervous around the girls in class! Remember when the our class went to the beach that one time?" Sparkle frowned in concentration, and then joined Casumi in giggling. "Oh yeah, when Lou 'lost' her bikini top, and Tenchi fainted." Serena looked at Ryoko'' What do you see in him?''she asked Ryoko asked herself then replied in a state that proved she was reminicing''Well......he's sweet and kind and strong but gentle and he's so cute and he's saved my life so many times...I love him.'' ,< Sparkle sighed knowingly''I know what true love is'', ''Yeah''Casumi dreamily said. ''HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''cried Serena ''SNAP OUT OF IT!!''yelled Neon to the three other girls ''Hey just cause you've never-''said Sparkle ''Been in love doesn't mean-'' continued Casumi ''That you can yell at us!''finished Sparkle. Ryoko giggled*grumble* Everyone looked at Ryoko ''I guess I'm hungry*grumble*''she said. ''Mmm....food.''cried Tihoshi and she began running back inside to the cafeteria ''Lead the way!''Ryoko ran to catch up.Once they made it in the lunch room,Ryoko saw Tenchi. ''Hey Ryoko''called Tenchi waving to her.Ryoko walked over to him''Hi Tenchi I'm in your class and Ayeka is in the class with you too'' ''Thats great now I can make sure you don't blow anything up''then Tenchi looked at Ryoko's face ''I didn't just say that aloud did I?''Tenchi nervously asked.Ryoko nodded.''I'm sorry Ryoko-chan gomen I didn't mean it'' Ryoko let it slide.''Okay,I'm gonna go eat with my friends'' Ryoko started walking away.She felt an arm tug at her. ''What?!''she asked ''Wait,you have to eat lunch where I can see you'' ''Tenchi,I am not a child I can eat where I want''Ryoko stated defiantly , Tenchi sighed, and decided to stop his resistance. ''Okay, see ya''He said and went over to join his friends. The girls got their lunch and ate and talked.Just then, the first bell rang, and the six girls had to run into the school. Ryoko caught a snippet of conversation as she ran. "Luna tells me she feels weird energy from those girls," some girl with two long blonde ponytails said to her tall brown haired companion. "Luna's felt weird energy from practically everybody at this school!" *** "Ah,Ms.Jurai,Ms.Hakubi" the teacher said. "As I told the others at the beginning of the day, I am Kyoti Shin, your homeroom and algebra teacher. Although," he chuckled, looking at the papers in front of him, "it seems that Ryoko could teach algebra herself." He turned to look at the classroom. "Now, to find you a seat..." Several of the young men in the class loudy made their suggestions for where Ryoko could sit, and the theacher glared at them. "Kiddies," he drawled, "control your hormones." Several of the girls in the class giggled. He pointed to a seat that was in a predominantly female section of the class. ''Ryoko,you can sit between Tihoshi and Sparkle ,Ayeka you can sit by Neon'' Neon's mood went from happy to sad''WAHHH'' ******* ''Ryoko,answer the problem on the board''said Mr.Shin "The odds are 2783 to 1, Kyouju-sensei," she said immediately. He blinked in surprise. "That's correct," he responded after glancing down at his key. "Would you like to show us how you calculated that?" Ryoko looked blankly at him, and felt herself begin to sweat. "Umm...I don't know?" At the teacher's irritated look, she began to blush a little. "The answer just sort of...comes to me." "I see," Shin sighed. "That's what they meant," he muttered, and turned to the board. "Well, then, pay attention Hakubi, so you can figure out HOW we get the answer." He turned back to the board and began to write. Ryoko focussed her attention on the board. *** At Konton High, gym period was the last class of the day for Seniors. Tihoshi laughed at Ryoko's shocked reaction to the gym uniform. "It's a little hoochi, isn't it?" "And Ayeka has the nerve to call my normal clothing indecent!" She held up the much-too-small piece of fabric that was the shorts. "I have sashes with more material than this!" She paused and considered how it would look on her. "I LIKE IT!" she declared loudly to her new friends' obvious amusement. "I'll have to get some more. If I wear these around the house, Ayeka won't have a chance!" "Tee hee hee," the universe said, but no one was listening, so it might as well have been silent. *** The men of the Senior class were busy doing laps around the race track behind the school. Tenchi discovered his two old friends flanking him as they ran. "So, Tenchi," a tall, gangly young man with short messy hair said, "I take it you know the new cute girl...what's her name, Dante?" The reasonably handsome guy panted "Ryoko." "That's it," the Dustin said. "So what's the story?" "um..." Tenchi sighed. No matter how he said this it was going to be taken the absolutely worst way, he just knew it. "Dustin, she's boarding at my house with her mother, OK?" "She's boarding at your house?" they chorused. Dustin grinned and pounded Tenchi on the back. "Way to go, Masaki! No wonder we didn't hear from you all summer." "It's not like that!" Tenchi yelled. *** *** "Damn," Tenchi cursed to Dante and Dustin as they walked out the front doors of the school. "Where did she go, anyway? All I did was turn my back on her for a second." "Keeps a close eye on her," Dante commented to Dustin. "Seems to be worried about her," the tall, gangly young man returned. Dustin grinned at Tenchi and lightly slapped him on the back. "Oooh, you've got it BAD." "Will you two shut up and help me look?" Tenchi snapped. *Please don't let her get into trouble,* he prayed. *That's all I ask.* *** ''Hey,do you want to room with us?''Tihoshi asked Ryoko. ''Okay but Ayeka has to room with us too''Ryoko replied,she had promised to her mother that she wouldn't leave Ayeka alone and lonely. ''Thats fine with us''responded Sparkle as Casumi grinned evilly. ''I hate her I don't want her with us''Serena pouted. ''Too bad''Neon said,even though she shared the same feeling. ''Lets go to the mall!''Casumi cried out suddenly''this money is burning a hole in my pocket'' Ryoko was amused by her friend's enthusiam. ''OH yeah Jonathan is meeting me there'' ''okay lets go'' So they were off to the mall ************* *** "OH my god," breathed Ryoko as she read the list of shops in the mall. "This place has everything! I've got to find a good clothing store." The other girls watched with mild amusement as she scanned the map, and Sparkle giggled softly. "You'd think you've never seen a mall before, Ryoko" "I haven't," Ryoko breathed, her attention on the map, not her companions. "Where have you lived all your life?"Casumi demanded, an aghast tone in her voice. "A cave?" *No, only the latter 700 years,* Ryoko responded mentally, and smiled wryly. "I was pretty isolated for the past," she paused as she did a quick mental calculation, "fifteen or so years." "That's criminal!" Serena declared. "That's got to be against some international convention or something!" Neon and Tihoshi tried to hush her as other people in the mall began staring at them. Uncomfortable under the many eyes that were on her, Ryoko tried to retaliate by staring back. She noticed a very tall, handsome young man with a great deal of prensence watching from a nearby vending machine. His face was the essence of composure, but she could see that he was looking on with amusement. As if on cue, Sparkle let loose a resounding "JONATHAN!" and went bounding towards the man, who took a step forward and swept up the much shorter girl in an affectionate, if proper, embrace. Numerous people in the mall turned away from the display of affection as Sparkle kissed Jonathan."Four years they've been dating,"Serena said snidely to Ryoko. "And she still blushes like that." "If Tenchi greeted me like that," Ryoko added in Sparkle's defense, "I'd blush too." *If Tenchi greeted me like that,* she mentally added, *I'd suspect he'd been possessed." Serena and Tihoshi were drinking their sodas while Sparkle sat in Jonathan's lap. "That's it," Tihoshi decided, and made patting motions with her hands. "You guys, STAY HERE," she ordered, ''We're are going to go look around for a while before the sugar around here rots my teeth." *** It had been a good afternoon, in Ryoko's opinion. In fact, it had been beyond good. Words like fantastic, heavenly, and perfect came to her mind. She had made FRIENDS. Real ones. She had pinched herself dozens to times on the way home to convince herself it wasn't a dream, that she really had met her friend's boyfriend (whom she had to admit was cute,< but nothing compared to Tenchi>), that she really had spent hours in a department store looking at clothes and chatting, that she really had the time of her life. Ryoko made her way to the Masaki household to get her things so she and Ayeka could move into the dorm(yes that high school has dorms but only for the 12th graders). ''Hi everyone''she called happily. ''Hi Ryoko how was your day''Sasami chirped as Ryoko happily picked her up and swung her around and then put her down.''Tell me about your day first''Ryoko said ''Well I met these cute boys named Duo and Heero and Gohan..................'' to be continued
