Ryo-ohki: Fallout written by: Sam Roed (canyonairo@aol.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ This story is for all the impossible loves in the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story, I just use them for my own slightly off-the-wall sense of humor. Blah blah blah.... don't sue me... blah blah blah.... all characters are property of Viz and/or Pioneer. Anyway, on to the next part of my first fanfic (Washu puppets appear on author's shoulders) "You are the greatest Sam!" "The best writer in the universe!" (I know, that was an uncalled for lie, but hey I got low self-esteem) I appreciate comments and criticism. I wrote this out of emotion, even though I'm a firm Ryoko + Tenchi = love, but I like Ryo-ohki as much as Ryoko. so I put all my feelings about her into this story. (note: unless said so, Ryo-ohki is in her adult form) ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ As Tenchi closed the door to his room Ryo-ohki waved goodbye to Nobuyuki and his camera. As soon as the door slid shut, Tenchi lightly tossed his lover on to the bed, and flipped the light switch. He quickly fell next to her, making her body bounce up a few inches. They broke out into gut busting laughter, "Did you see the look on his face!" she said between laughing and gasping. "That's the first nosebleed I can ever remember him having!" Tenchi said, barely getting enough air. "We'll have to do that again." not realizing what he had said. "Yeah, that was funny." she giggled back, they both stopped laughing, "Tenchi, why did we stop?" she said actually wondering. "I...don't...know." he said as they leaned toward each other. They lightly kissed once, looked at each other, and kissed a deep, passionate, and loving. Then they felt it, even though their eyes were closed, they felt someone watching them. They quickly broke the kiss, and looked out the window. And their eyes met a lens with a red light above it, and a man with a moustache. Tenchi got up and walked over to the window, Tenchi and Ryo- ohki waved goodbye once again to the camara, as he dropped the blinds, with Nobuyuki trying to film every moment he could. "Oh Dad, what an embarrassment," he sighed. Turning around to a beautiful goddess seductively sitting on his bed with her legs crossed at the knee, and her kimono untied, leaving almost nothing to image. "But I can't blame him for wanting to see a goddess." he proudly said, smiling broadly. "Oh, you mean little ol' me?" she asked innocently, "why, Tenchi, I had no idea you felt that way about me." she mockingly gasped. "Yes ma'am, I've always had a strong urge to tell you, but I never had any courage to tell you," he said acting like some American actor he had seen on the TV. "Well come here and I'll show you how I feel." she purred at him. Tenchi sat down next to her on the bed. "I love you" she said in her regular tone. They kissed each other lightly, but with a passion. The world around them was at a stand still, that is until an explosion ripped through the house. They fell off the bed and landed in a pile of dirty clothes. Tenchi looked around, they had landed in the laundry room, he looked up and saw a hole in the floor of his room. "Wonder what that was." said Ryo-ohki with a dirty pair of underware hanging off one of her ears. Tenchi barely supressing a laugh, "I'll give you two guesses." "WASHU!!!!" they both yelled at the pint-sized scentist. As they stormed over to her closet, Ryo-ohki made sure to tie her kimono up. "Washu!, what the hell did you do this time!!!!" he scearmed at the door. The door opened, and a blacked Washu fell face first onto the floor. "ow" she whispered, "I should have turned it COUNTER- CLOCKWISE." "What did you screw up now?" he said calmly, picking up the cajun-styled genius. "I never 'screw up!' " she said defensively. "I just made an error." adding meekly. "I don't care! You could have killed someone!" he said in a rage Ryo-ohki stepped to his side and hugged him, "but no one was, so calm down." she said in a calming voice. Seeing her, with the underware still hanging from her ear, relaxed him more then anyone else could. Sighing, "You're right, sorry Washu I didn't mean to snap at you." "Forget about my little guinea pig, I'll remember to turn thing in the right direction. Besides, you could use a laundry chute and a few more skylights." she grinned "I think your right, but you have to fix the burned parts of the house." he said jokingly, all the anger was gone. He grinned at his lover, as he picked the laundry off of her ear. she had a disgusted look on her normally happy face, "Please god, not....." "Dad's" he grinned sheepishly, Washu and he suddenly broke out into wild laughter. "Shut up." she lightly punched his arm, and grabbed the underware from his grasp, and pulled them over his head. "AHHHHH!! Get 'em off! Get 'em off!" he yelled while clawing at them. Finally getting them off his head, he look at Ryo-ohki, "oh, now your going to pay," he said in a surprisingly evil voice. He crouched and put his shoulder into her waist and picked her up quite easily. "Oh-no, somebody help me!" she said like a damsel in distress, playfully punching his back and kicking her legs. Washu looked on, still laughing at the young couple. Had she ever been so carefree? 'My, how love dismisses all of your worries.' As she watched Tenchi carry his love out of the the hall and back up stairs, she started to make the repairs on the walls from her holo-top. As they reached the top of the stairs, they heard the princess's door start to slide open, "It was just Washu!" they yelled down the hall. The door stopped, then slid closed. They smilied at the door and then at each other. Then a thought hit Tenchi like a brick wall, she had been wearing his grandmother's kimono all day long. He turned and started walking toward the attic. "Where are you taking me now?" she cooed. "You'll see," he replied slyly "Please!" she whined like an impatient child. "No, its a surprise." he stated simply. She sighed and realized somthing, "Tenchi, could you please either put me down or get your shoulder out of my stomach?" "Oops" he said, his shoulder had been pressing onto her for too long. He shifted her around so he holding her back and the bottom of her thighs, like a groom carrying his bride. He reached the end of the hall, and pulled down the steps to the attic. He set her back on her feet, bowing and motioning toward the steps, "After you." She cautiously walked up to the attic, wondering what he was up to. She had never been up here before, she never like being in small spaces, especially alone. 'This isn't so bad, its not as cramped as I had thought.' It had enough room to comfortably stand, with a single florescent light hanging from the ceiling. There wasn't that much stuff, just some cardboard boxes and some wall replacement panels around, that left a big empty area in the middle of the room. "Oh Tenchi! Do you bring all your girlfriends here?" she said. "Have a seat." he said pointing to a stack of boxes, bearly holding back a laugh. She sat on a box and watched Tenchi start moving boxes out of his way. After he moved about five of them, he pulled out one that to her looked like all the others. He put the other boxes back where he took them from, and walked back to her carrying the one he had been looking for. "Here's another gift of my love." he said with no humor in his voice. He placed the box infront of her feet, and opened it to revile,,, clothes! They were clothing for a women's mid-sized frame, just her size. "They were my mother's, they should fit you pretty well." he said smiling at the clothing, remembering the other woman he had loved. She started to pull out some things; socks, shoes, and even underwear! He blushed, "Thank goodness my dad is so sentimental, he could never get rid of these." She grinned at him, and saw something in the box that she had seen before. An ear-to-ear smile broke out on her face, she quickly grabbed the bit of clothing, along with other things that caught her eye like, bra, panties, shoes, and socks. She hurried behind a wall replacement panel with the wad of clothing. She leaned her head out from the panel "No peeking!" "Who? Me?" he replied innocently. She grinned and leaned back behind the panel. He turned his back to her, and started looking through the box of his mother's clothes. After a few minutes, she stepped out from the panel, "Now turn around, my Tenchi." she said in a much younger tone. He turned his head and his jaw hit the sofa on the first floor. She was wearing Achika's school uniform! His face filled with awe, remembrance, and a slight hint of lust. She spun around in a circle, the dress fluttering outwards like a beautiful dancer. "Once again I'd ask how I look, but your eyes say it all," she narrowed her eyes at him and saw the other emotion on his face, "oh Tenchi, you wouldn't do that to a school girl would you?" her voice very suggestive. He mouth working silently, trying to form words but with no sound being made. She smiled, 'Wow I thought he would only be out for a second or two.' She started to slyly waltz over to her lover, she sat down next to him. She lightly kissed his cheek, "you're the most perfect thing that I've ever seen!" he marveled. With that he kissed her with more emotion then he thought he had. She had expected only a fraction of the power from the kiss, but she reacted instantly, returning all the emotion he was using, maybe even more. They sat there locked in a kiss that had more love behind it then anything else in the world. She slowly started to more her hand between his legs, his eyes shot open and he suddenly backed away from her lips. "I'm sorry, but it's just not right. I mean, I love you more then my own life, but here on Earth, most people wait until they're married." She had a face of absolute saddness, "Please Tenchi, forgive me, I am so sorry." she was on the verge of tears. It was a t this moment Tenchi decided to take the biggest chance of his life, more dangerous then Katgato, and more full of mystery then Tsunami. He picked her up and sat her on a box, he kneeled infront of her. He reached in his back pocket and pulled out a small black box. "Ryo-ohki Hakubi will you marry me?" he said, utterly seriously. Inside of the box was the same gold ring with a single small diamond his father had given his mother for their engagement. Nobuyuki had given it to him after Aeka and Ryoko came to the house. When he gave it to Tenchi, he said dead seriously, 'Carry it with you all the time, you never know when the moment will come, I sure didn't.' 'How will I know when its time?' he had asked 'You'll know. Your heart will let you know, and your heart is never wrong.' that was the most respectable thing he had ever said to this day. Ryo-ohki looked at Tenchi, in shock. She had seen this happen on those cheesy soap operas. She knew what marriage was, but never knew what was so special about it until now. "Yes." she managed to choke out. they looked deep into each other's souls, as if they had been in the dark until now and she hugged him. Not with strength, but with love. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------- Preview of next chapter: Aftermath By morning everybody had started to worry about Aeka and Ryoko. They hadn't come home last night, not that he would have heard them. They all sat down at the table, ready to eat another one of Sasami's gourmet meals, the front door slid open. A pair of fools walked into the kitchen. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------- Tah-da! How was that? Don't worry, there is more on the way. Ryoko and Aeka aren't out of the plot just yet. Once again, send flames, comments, and/or criticism to Canyonairo@aol.com. Thanks for you time.
