Ok here's the third part to my fic "Why Me?"
ÐÏࡱáem, I should know. This couldn't be happening, I didn't want this to happen. If....no WHEN....I got home, I didn't want stuff like this to complicate my life.
I was getting angry now. Why did this stuff happen to me? I didn't ask for it, I didn't want it, and I certainly didn't want to keep it. Thoughts like this kept running in circles in my head, and those feelings were beginning to reflect in my fighting. I was tired of fighting the madwoman before me. I wanted it to end, and end now. I didn't feel like waiting for the situation to diffuse itself.....I was going to finish it now.
With that in mind I decided to switch to the offensive. Ryoko's expression was, to say the least, slightly surprised when I suddenly swung at her. Now I was beginning, in some sick way, to have fun. My fighting skills were nowhere near the person I was fighting, but I was doing my best to annoy the hell out of her....and succeeding it looked like.
"Kill the bakemono Rose-san. That way I'll have Tenchi-sama all to myself."
Hearing this the fighting seemed to freeze. Both my fighting partner and I looked over to the group watching by the stairs. This statement had been met with a main reaction of disbelief. I had trouble believing that someone would tell me to kill someone, just so they could have some guy all to themselves.
When Ayeka realized how much attention she was getting from her outburst she brought her sleeve covered hand up to her mouth and began laughing. This caused me to feel a bit of embarrassment, and I noticed several others begin to sweat nervously.
"Ohohohohohohohoho, just a joke. Please, stop fighting and come down so we can finish breakfast."
Rolling my eyes I turned to Ryoko and asked, "Is she always like this?"
"No.....she's usually worse."
"Just checking," I answered, "Shall we continue fighting or do you want to go eat?"
Sighing Ryoko said, "I really want to eat....but, you did steal my clothes."
"Well, Washu was the one who gave them too me. If I had my choice I would have asked you, but I wanted to go to the breakfast table in something other than what I had slept in."
"Washu gave you my clothes?" She asked incredulously.
"Yeah, she just reached into some sub-space pocket, at least that's what I think she called it, and pulled it out."
"Hmmm....sounds like I should pound her too," Ryoko replied as she turned towards me.
"Too.....? Uh ho."
Not bothering with a sword this time, Ryoko let loose with a punch that slammed me against the trunk of a tree. I never truly knew what seeing stars meant until that moment, I had never really understood what they had meant before, but now I was getting a really good picture.
"What you do that for?" I said as I rubbed my head where it had connected with the tree.
"Well, you are wearing _my_ dress."
"Are you two done yet? I'm getting hungry and I really should get more information about Rose-chan so we can work on getting her home. You two can play later!!!"
I looked over to Washu and sighed, her last remark had me wondering about the sanity of the scientist. I just wanted to go back to the house, get back into bed, and pretend none of this ever happened. Not wanting a reappearance of any insanely large guns I shouted, “Coming," and raced towards where she was standing.
"Hey," Ryoko said as I was flying away. Then she shrugged and sighed apparently deciding to leave things as they were for the moment.

Breakfast take two, I thought. This time everyone was quietly sitting at the table eating....well if you decided to ignore Ayeka and Ryoko's bickering. Looking over at Tenchi I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He never seemed to get away from those two. Tenchi seemed like a nice guy, but for the life of me I couldn't see what made him so appealing to them.
When the meal was finished I started walking back towards my room, Ryoko close at my heels. It appeared she wanted to talk to me about something, when suddenly a voice cut her off, "Now don't go anywhere you too!!! I need to get more information about Rose-chan's new powers and I'll need you to come too Ryoko. I'll need a basis for my analysis."
A gesture from behind Washu caught my attention. Nobiyuki and Tenchi were waving at me furiously, apparently in an attempt to tell me to get away as quickly as possible. I only had a few seconds to wonder why, when suddenly I felt someone grab me. Turning to look I saw it was Ryoko, who in turn said, "No time to explain."
Then we disappeared.
