"YOU WANT MY BLOOD?? TAKE MY BLOOD!!"

Prologue
Tenchi woke up. He thought that he'd heard a noise. He got up to
investigate. He crept downstairs. The noise seemed to be coming from the
little closet where Washu kept her lab. He opened the door an inch.
From somewhere in the depths of the maze of corridors, he heard a sharp
whip crack. A wail erupted, though Tenchi didn't think it sounded like
pain.
'Must be watchin' a movie or something...' Tenchi thought to himself.
He turned to go, when he saw a flicker of movement; it was his father.
Nobeyuki quickly thrust his camera and assorted polaroid pictures behind
his back. His cheeks reddened to match the redness around the edges of
his nose.
"Dad! What're you doing here??"
"Oh, nothing...just testing out my new camera!"
Tenchi flinched at the possibilties of what his father could have been
doing. "Oh...looks like you're getting a cold, Dad, you should probably
get some sleep."
"What are...oh, yeah. Good idea. Sleep. I think I'll go now!" With
that, he rushed off towards his bedroom.
Tenchi watched as his father left. 'He's acting a bit strangely...nah,
not THAT strangely!' He heard another crack, followed shortly by another
wail. 'Must be a slave movie or something...' He shrugged his shoulders
and wandered off to bed.
Chapter One
Ryoko woke up with a blistering headache. She was lying on the roof of
the house, with one leg dangling off the edge.
"What? How did I get up here??"
She sat up carefully, noting the carrot residue and broken mirror.
"Oh yeah...THAT"S how I got up here..."
She floated gently to the ground, and walked through the wall and into
the kitchen.
"Hi Ryoko! What would you like for breakfast?" Sasami asked cheerfully.
'You' was the first thought Ryoko had. Instead, she put on a pair of
sunglasses and replied, "Two tylenol extra strength and a glass of
water, no ice..."
"Coming right up!!" Sasami answered, as she put a plate of steaming
noodles, bubbling eggs and crispy bacon in front of Ryoko.
Ryoko pushed the plate aside, muttering to herself, and passed the time
waiting for Tenchi by sending mental messages of hate towards Sasami's
humming back.
Mihoshi woke up late. Again. Keyone was quietly reading the paper and
having coffee. Mihoshi noticed that Keyone had dark circles under her
eyes, and a bruised cheek.
"You came in really late last night, Keyone. And you look tired! Are
you okay??"
Keyone looked over at Mihoshi and inwardly rolled her eyes. 'Talk about
the pot calling the kettle black!'
"I'm fine, Mihoshi! By the way, I found this on the coffee table last
night..." Keyone said, pointing to the sheet of sixty or so tabs of acid
on the table.
"Oh yeah! That's next week's supply!! Thanks! I thought that I'd lost
it!!"
Mihoshi reached over to take the sheet, but Keyone grabbed it first.
"How many times have I told you to stay OFF THIS STUFF!!! You know that
it's against the Galaxy Police rules to take illegal drugs!"
"Then how come ther're some missing, Keyone?? Hunh?? Answer that!"
"Because you probably took some extra hits and were too high to
notice."
Mihoshi stuck her tongue out and grabbed the sheet back from Keyone's
hands. "Besides," She said, "I thought that we were supposed to blend in
with the natives!"
Keyone put her head in her hands. "Why me??" Was all that she said.
Everyone had left the house for school or errands, and so Sasami was
left to her own devices. She snuck into Ryoko's room and tried on a
mini-skirt and a see through blouse. She liked to try on the other
girls' clothes. It made her feel grown up. Besides, she was fifteen now,
and that's practically adulthood right there!! She was discovering her
body, and her feelings for Tenchi were passed the stage of friendship.
She wanted more than anything to be treated like an adult, and to talk
about her feelings, but Ryoko didn't have time for her, and Washu was
too OLD! Ayeka was her sister and the one that she was SUPPOSED to go to
for advice on these things. If only Ayeka wasn't too busy throwing
herself at Tenchi all the time...hell, if Ayeka wasn't throwing herself
at EVERYONE all the time, maybe she'd be able to help.
It was at this time that Sasami noticed the little black box by the
bed. It was carved to represent a dragon, and was polished to a shine.
Sasami picked it up.
'It's so smoooooth. And pretty!!'
She opened it. Inside were little pills of different colours. She took
out a bag of blue ones and took a couple out.
'Must be her candy box!' She thought to herself as she popped them into
her mouth. "Yech! Pretty lousy candy, if you ask-urp-me"
She giggled, then replace the box on the night table.
Around noon, Washu returned through the woods from her errands when she
saw a figure running through the woods ripping their shirt off and
yelling, "WHEEEEEE!!! I'M PRETTY SAMMI!!!!"
'More and more weirdos every year!' She thought with a shrug, and
headed back to the house to try on her new heels.
When Tenchi got home from school, he grabbed a drink on the way to his
room, then noticed that his door was open a crack. He pushed it open all
the way, then dropped his bag and walked in. There was a single red rose
on his bed along side a condom and a perfumed note. He gathered it all
up and threw it out the door, yelling, "For the last time Ayeka, I said
NO!"
"GODDAMMIT!!"
"You know Tenchi, maybe you should just give in..." Ryoko said, as she
floated through the window.
"Hunh-oh Ryoko-what do you mean...I couldn't possibly...I'm a-she's
a-well..."
"What're you babbling about?? I mean just ship her off to a convent.
She'd get all that she could ever want in one of those..."
Tenchi just stood there, mouth open. After all, what could he possibly
have to say?
Sasami returned home around dinnertime. She didn't wan't anyone to
notice the fact that she wasn't dressed, so she crept in through the
back and snuck upstairs. She entered her room and quietly shut the door.
Letting out a huge sigh, she collapsed onto her bed, and covered her
head with a hand. She squeezed her thighs together and a shudder went
through her body as she started to come down from the effects that the
pills were having on her.
"Whoah...those candies weren't so bad after all! Maybe I'll try a
couple of the pink hearts tomorrow!"
She giggled, then promptly fell asleep.
"Sasami??" Ayeka called out.
Ryoko was really getting hungry. "I knew I should have learnt how to
cook!"
"I'll get her," Tenchi offered.
"I have an idea! Let's go look for her in my room," Ayeka offered.
"Can't you keep you legs closed for five minutes Ayeka??" Ryoko
snapped.
"WHY YOU LITTLE...'
"Now, now girls," Tenchi quickly said, "No need to bicker, I'll get her
myself."
He got up from the table, barely missing the rude gesture that Ryoko
and Ayeka gave to each other. He nearly Tripped over Ryo-Oki, who had
just bounced through the door.
"Oh, heh heh, hi Ryo-Oki...you must be hungry too..."
Ryo-Oki ignored him and went staraight for Ryoko. Tenchi shrugged his
shoulders and walked out. Ryo-oki grabbed the ankle of Ryoko's boot in
her mouth and tugged.
"What do you want??"
Ryo-Oki's eyes had a pleading look.
"Oh just feed her, you monster!" Ayeka snapped.
Ryoko rolled her eyes. "Can't you wait 'till afer dinner??"
Ryo-Oki shook her head. Ryoko groaned and reached into her dress and
pulled out a glistening carrot. Ryo-Oki licked her lips and lunged,
grabbing the carrot between her teeth and ran off.
Ayeka's eyes followed the cabbit through the door. "Doesn't she ever
eat anything else?"
"Nah, she gets all the protein she needs from those..."
Tenchi walked up to Sasami's room. The door was closed. He knocked. No
answer. He knocked again and called her name out quietly. He waited. No
answer. He gently opened the door.
"Sasami?? Are you okay?"
Sasami gasped, then shot up out of bed, trying to cover her breasts
with her arms. "Oh Tenchi!! Get out, please!!"
Tenchi couldn't move. His jaw dropped. Sasami's face turned scarlet.
She smiled, "See something you like??"
Tenchi turned around and ran. "Don't worry, I'll order in!!" He yelled
over his shoulders.
