"What Evil Dwells in Mihoshi's"

Chapter 1  -  "Innocense Reborn"

*READ THIS FIRST*
Authors Foward:  This is the continuation of "Something is Out There" 
series.  If you didn't read it; here's a synopsis of what you missed.

Mihoshi was possessed by an evil force that has yet to reveal itself 
to the rest of the cast.  Two new characters were introduced; Meachi 
 (a young man that shares much in common with Tenchi) and Watura 
Rode (Meachi's grandfather who's an old fighting monk)  Meachi fell 
in love with Aeka from the first time that he saw her.  Ryoko saw 
this as an opportunity to get Aeka away from Tenchi, so she tried 
to helped Meachi win Aeka over.  However, Aeka didn't share the 
same feelings that he had.  The broken hearted young man then became 
the first pawn in the possessed Mihoshi's game.  She twisted his 
mind and heart so that he would try to kill Tenchi.  The two young 
men fought each other. Meachi's power was revealed as he displayed 
a sword that was just as powerful as Tenchi's Light Hawk Wings. 
The battle ended with them both dealing fatal blows to each other. 
To their surprise, neither was harmed by the attack.  With the 
fight over, Mihoshi's hold on Meachi was broken.  However, he!
couldn't remember anything about her.  

It turns out that Meachi and his Grandfather are decendents of Yoshu 
and his first wife.  That is why Tenchi's sword couldn't harm him. 
 The cursed sword that Meachi uses, originally belonged to Yoshu. 
It houses and is fueld by all of the hate that Yoshu onced had. 
In so, it can cause however welds it to become insane with anger 
if they are weak of mind and spirit.  Though Meachi was controlled 
by Mihoshi, in his heart he did not desire to kill Tenchi.  So his 
blade couldn't harm him either. 

That should just about get you to this point now.   Enjoy....

Chapter 1  -  "Innocence Reborn"



Two days have passed since Tenchi and Meachi had their confrontation. 
Meachi's grandfather Watura explained their past.  To confirm his 
story, Washu insisted on running some test on Meachi.  To make sure 
that the results were correct she requested that Tenchi come in 
and be tested also.  All of the Masaki household was inside of  
Washu's lab.  The sound of machines processing information hummed 
inside the vast largeness of the lab.   Everyone stood in anticipation 
as Washu typed away at her hologram keypad.  The computers all came 
to stop at once.  A printer appeared on the side of Washu.  She 
tore off the results sheet and began to read.  

"So...  Hmm...  I see!"  exclaimed the little mad scientist.

The others were about to burst.  Aeka was the one that broke their 
silence, as she spoke out to Washu.  

"What do you see?"  

"The results prove what you said.  Meachi is not a true Jurian. 
However, he is a part breed, but much different than that of Yosho 
and Tenchi.  Yosho is 1/2 Jurian and Tenchi is 1/8.  Meachi is less 
than 1/100 Jurian.  Over time the bloodline has been depleted.  
However, there is an unusual occurrence in this genetic fingerprint. 
He seems to have some dormant Jurian genes.  His sword must be 
responsible for activating them.  I'll have to run some separate test on it to be sure."

Meachi lifted his head from the table and looked in Washu's direction. "Well! What do I do now?"

"Do whatever you want, I'm through with you.  It's going to be a 
while before I can get to the second set of tests.  I'm busy with 
something else right now." She then walked over to the two young 
men and held out her right hand before them.  The tables that they 
were on then disappeared, leaving the two to of them to fall down. 
Washu then went back to  working on the project that she was deep 
into before she had been taken away.  "Wait, there's one more thing. 
You said you don't remember anything before the fight?"

"No.  Everything seems fuzzy to me.  I can't remember anything."

"Hm...  Interesting.  I'll have to look into that also."

Everyone began to leave out.  When they all had exited, Ryoko teleported 
back in.  She quietly walked up behind Washu.  To her slight surprise, Washu spoke before she could.

"What do you want?"
                          
"I hate it when you do that!  Anyway, I felt that you could use 
some company.  You've been shut in here for a while."

"Ah!  This is a surprise.  You missed your mommy."  Washu turned 
around and faced Ryoko.  She was staring at her with two big puppy 
dog eyes.  Then she spoke in a sarcastic voice, "Do you want to 
drink international's coffee and have one of those mother-daughter moments?"

Ryoko' s face grimaced, then subsided into an annoyed grin.  "Cute! 
REAL cute!  I was just wondering what you've been so preoccupied 
with. I've been getting this unusual feeling that I thought you 
might be responsible for.  It's like I can sense your not understanding something.

"Well!  It is about time that I showed someone.  And, you're just 
the person that should be should first.  Washu stood up from her 
hover chair and walked beside Ryoko.  She raised her hand and a 
doorway appeared beside her blue haired cohort.   They entered inside 
to another part of the lab.  The room was filled with action.  There 
were many machine working at once.  They were lined in a row; parallel 
to each side.  Down the semi-corridor they made was a light.  In 
the center of it was globe shaped glass frame.  The two ladies walked 
toward it.  They both felt an unusual mental jolt, which caused 
both of them to stop suddenly.  Ryoko looked at Washu, whom had 
resumed walking at a quicker pace. 
                          
"What was that?  I had that feeling again, but it was stronger this 
time.  Washu, what is causing this?"

"Shhh!   She just woke up.   I don't want you to aggitate her."
                          
"HER?!"

Washu reached the globe and motioned her hands to what was inside 
of it.  As she did, the globe opened to allow her hands entry.  She reached 
in and drew out a small bundle.  Ryoko teleported beside her and stared in amazement.  

"IT'S A BABY!!!  Washu, where did this child come from?  Who's baby is this?!"

Washu lifted her free hand to the baby, and offered her a finger 
for her to play with.  The baby reached up and took a hold of her new toy.  

"Washu!  Answer me!"

The little mad scientist continued to play with child, as Ryoko 
was about to burst.  "Aren't you the cutest little thing.  Say hello to your big sister Mayuka."

Ryoko turned pale as the words made contact with her ear's.  "MAYUKA!!! 
BIG SISTER!!!  What is going on here?!"

"It's simple Ryoko.  I've been busy trying to return Mayuka, but 
I could not restore her body. I was  However, I could recreate it. 
Unfortunately, I was never able to decipher Yazuha's DNA.  The 
only choice I had was to use the DNA of another woman.  So I decided to use my own."

"This is really Mayuka?"
                          
"Haven't you been paying me any attention?  She is the reason why 
you've been feeling something new.  Mayuka is linked to me like 
you are.  And so, are you linked to her.  The two of you are sisters 
now. I expect everyone to help take care of her.  You especially. 
Ryoko leaned forward and took a hold of one of Mayuka's small hands. 
She smiled as the tiny infant responded to her.  

"I'll do my part to protect and teach her," said Ryoko.  She then 
noticed that she was being a little too nice and jerked her hand 
back. But don't expect me to go easy on her.  I'm going to be as tough as I can.  

"I know! I know!  It must have really hurt you there; being kind for more than five seconds."
                          
The two continued to play with Mayuka, till she yawned and fell 
back to sleep.  They then put her back in the globe incubator and left out of the room.

All the time that they had been in the room, they did not know that 
they were being watched by a set of eyes in the shadows of the lab. 
The invisible assailant crept out from the darkness and walked 
up to the globe. The person leaned forward and grin a sinister smile. 
A film of mist formed on the globe as quite words escaped her mouth.  

"Ah!  You will be a wonderful add-on to my game.  I just have to 
make a few improvements.  Then I can have some fun.

****

Later that day Watura and Yosho held a conversation to determine 
Meachi's future.  They both knew that the battle between their grandsons 
was not a normal thing.  Watura could sense that something was wrong, 
but he could not pinpoint it.  Yoshu suggested that they wait to see what it may be.  

Their discussion had carried on for a while.  Watura had explained 
Meachi past and the story of his parents.  Yosho, sipped some tea 
and then rubbed the bottom of his beard.  

"So...  Does Meachi know what you have told me?"

"No.  I have not told him yet.  Untill now he knew nothing of the 
"katen" or of his birthright.  We have been traveling ever since 
his parents tradgic incident.  Meachi was to young to remember his 
parents. I have raised him from an infant.  I fear that our constant 
moving has robbed him of a childhood."

"Watura, you will have to tell him.  He has the right to know."

"Your words are true, I will have to tell him.  Now that he possesses 
the "katen", the time of his awareness grows ever closer.  As of 
now, he can no longer run.  Over the years I have taught him all 
that I can, but It will not be enough to prepare him for what is 
to come.  Will you finish his training?"

"Yes...  I will train him."
                          
"Thank you.  Now I must go to my home and rest."

Chapter 2  -  "Ghost from Ryoko's Past"



The next day came fast and with it new adventures for the household. 
Everyone was busy with his or her daily activities.  Tenchi and 
Meachi were at school.  Aeka and Kiyone were cleaning up the house. 
Washu was in her lab working.  Yosho and Watura had begun their 
daily routine as priest.  Sasami went to the field to get some fresh vegetables for dinner.  
                          
Ryoko on the other hand was not fast at work.  As usual, she was 
off to herself.  Today she was venturing to the local market.  Her 
supply of saki had run out.  She felt that something as important 
as that couldn't remain the same way for too long.  
                          
As she was making her way to the market, she noticed that something 
was not right. It was a feeling that she remembered but she didn't 
know where from.   She couldn't place it, so she pre-cautiously 
continued on her way.  After traveling a little longer, the feeling 
grow stronger.  She looked around to see what could be causing it. 
Nothing seemed to be out of order.  As she surveyed the land she 
noticed two figures barely in eyeshot.  Her curiosity had sparked. 
To discretely get a better look, she teleported highly above the 
two and stared downward.  They turned out to be two females.  One 
was a small girl; she appeared to be no older than Sasami.  The 
other looked to be a lady in her early twenties.  
                          
There was something about her that seemed very familiar.  Ryoko 
couldn't place her face anywhere, but the feeling that she knew 
her would not leave from the bewildered watcher's eyes.  Her mind 
was racing as she came to the conclusion that the only way to find 
out who she is; was to go up and ask her.  Ryoko teleported back 
down to the ground.  She quietly came up behind the young lady. 
With no intent of rudeness intended, she reached out and softly 
grabbed the taller girl's shoulder.  Both girls stopped symatamiously.

"Hey, hold on.  I wanna ask you something."

What Ryoko could not see was the eyes and the forearms of the girl 
had quickly changed.  The smaller child mysteriously disappeared. 
Just as she did , the other girl that Ryoko had a hold of, swung 
around and cut off the her hand.  
                          
Ryoko screamed in agony.  The enraged pirate gripped her blood-drenched 
stub, and then looked forward to see the young lady was now in a 
complete metallic battle suit.  Just above both of her wrist were 
blades that extended from what appeared to be metallic forearm protectors.  
                          
Ryoko composed herself as her battle suit formed on her body.  Every 
bit of built up anger could be seen upon her face.  She glared at 
her attacker and delivered a response, "Do you have any idea how 
much that hurts?  Don't worry, I'll be more than too happy to show 
you!"  Ryoko's bleeding stopped and another hand began to form. 
While it did, a glowing sphere hovered before her.  Just as her 
hand became complete she grabbed the sphere, and it changed into an energy sword.  
                          
Ryoko's threat had seemed to have no affect on the lady.  Instead 
she only prepared for her first move. Ryoko charged in at full speed 
and attacked.  The lady sidestepped and attacked back.  She made 
to two swings. The first was a vertical slice down, followed by 
a horizontal backswing from the second blade.  Ryoko rolled away 
from the first swing and backflipped over the second.  She was even 
more infuriated now.  The air began to tingle as energy began to 
accumilate around her hands. She took aim and fired off several blasts. 
The lady dodged each one.  On the last one, she rocketed into the 
sky and practically evaporated into nothingness.  Ryoko's eyes frantically 
searched to find where she have gone.  Each of her senses went into 
overdrive as she tried to pick up anything that would give the location 
of her attacker away, but nothing could be heard or seen.  An eerie calm swept pass by.  
                          
Ryoko heard something move to the right of her. She instinctively 
turned and delivered an energy blast.  A second or two passed, as 
she waited for the smoke to clear.  To her amazement, she didn't 
hit anything.  Her eyes were fixed down the line-of-fire she just 
created. She barely noticed it at first, but it looked almost as 
if the smoke was moving incorrectly.  It appeared like something 
was there and not there at the same time.  The scenery seemed to be distorted.  
                          
Before Ryoko could stop it, the distortion came toward her and materialized 
into the lady.  Whom then plunged her left arm blade through Ryoko's 
torso.  The metallic shine of her arm piece was now dulled, due 
to the red liquid that gushed upon it.  The impacted forced Ryoko 
into the wall, which was 10 yards behind her.  The attacker's right 
blade sunk into Ryoko's flesh just below her collarbone.  In so, 
pinning her to the wall.  The other blade was then raised in preparation 
to relieve Ryoko's head from the rest of her body. The instinct 
to teleport or push her attacker off ran through her mind.  However, 
Ryoko didn't try to fight her off, because at that moment she remembered 
where she had seen her.  Ryoko now remember where this face was 
from.  The lady then swung with the force of a guillotine.


****

Sasami had just finished picking some radishes.  She kneeled down 
to hand Ryo-Ohki one of the carrots she had picked earlier.  She 
smiled as she said, "Here you go Ryo-Ohki."  Surprisingly the little 
cabbit didn't even look her direction.  It was staring forward at 
the field.  Sasami was puzzled by her small friends unusal behavior. 
"What is it? What are you looking at Ryo-Ohki," said the little 
princess.  She looked down at the cabbit and then toward the direction 
that it was facing.  There was nothing to be seen.  Ryo-Ohki fur 
stood on end, as if the little cabbit were about to fight.  At that 
moment Sasami saw somthing.  She couldn't believe it at first.  
It appeared as if the air was taking on a human form.  In a blink 
of an eye, the mass of air materialized into a frighten little girl. 
She was curled up in a ball and had tears in her eyes.  Sasami, 
slowly walked up to her, so that she wouldn't scare her anymore than she already was.  

"Hi there.  My name is Sasami.  Are you alright"

The little girl rubbed her eyes and looked toward Sasami.  She then 
looked toward Ryo-Ohki.  "It going to attack me."

Sasami followed the girls eyes down to the still attacked prone 
cabbit. She picked the little furball up and looked back at the 
little girl.  "Oh, this is just Ryo-Ohki she won't hurt you," said 
Sasami.  She then looked back at the cabbit and spoke with a little 
force in her voice, "Isn't that right?!  You better be nice or I 
won't give you another carrot again."  Ryo-Ohki's expression fell 
into a innocent one as she released a surrendering miya.  Sasami 
walked up to the little girl and handed her Ryo-Ohki.  

"Here, it's safe to hold her.  So what is your name?"
                          
"My name is Cammy"

"What are you doing out here?  Are you all by yourself?"

"My sister told me to run, so I did till I ended up here."
                          
"What about your parents?  Where are they?"
                          
"My sister Kamil has taken care of me as long as I can remember."

"Why did she tell you to run, and where is she now?"

"She said that we were being followed by something evil.  She told 
me it was the thing that I see in my nightmares."   I don't know 
where she is now.  I wish she was here, though."  

The little girl looked down at Ryo-Ohki and petted the little cabbit. 
She started to smile, but she quickly reverted back into a sad 
expression; as tears formed in her shut eyes.  With fear in her 
voice, she screamed out her sisters name.  

****BACK AT THE FIGHT****

Time seemed to be moving in slow motion as the attacker's blade 
traveled down torward Ryoko's neck.  Still she did not struggle 
because her mind was seized by the dark images of her life flashing 
before her eyes.  Her expression was pale as she stared at the face 
that she had seen before.  Her thoughts were on the wrong that she 
had done to the person that now was repaying her back.  This ghost from her past. 

There was a whistling sound being made by the blade as it cut through 
the air.  It was bearing down on it's target, like an arrow to a 
bulleye.  Just as it made contact with Ryoko's flesh, it and it's 
wielder had vanished.  Now free from the pressure that held her 
up against the wall, Ryoko feebly fell to her knees.  She then laid 
on the ground as she muttered something out. 

"It wasn't my fault.........."

****Back at the vegatable garden****

Sasami walked over to Cammy, in hopes to ease her.  She stopped 
a few feet away from her, because something was begining to materalize 
behind Cammy's back.    Sasami watched as a tall woman formed from 
thin air.  She walked up to Cammy and placed her hand on the little girls shoulder.  

"Kamil!  I'm so glad your back.  What happen to the monster?"

"That's your sister?"

"Uh huh.  Hey Kamil this is Sasami, she's my new friend.  And this cute bunny thing is Ryo-Ohki"

Cammy presented the gray-haired cabbit to her big sister.  As soon 
as the two made eye contact, Ryo-Ohki jerked out of Cammy's hands 
and ran off.  Sasami stepped forward after her.  "Ryo-Ohki!  Where 
are you going? Wait up," yelled Sasami.  She was about to go after 
her little friend, but Kamil stopped her.  The young lady placed 
her hand on top of  Sasami's head.  There was an ackward quiet as 
the two stared into each others eyes.  Sasami started to see here 
life flash before her eyes.  It was like her memories where being 
extracted and viewed.  After a few seconds passed Kamil began to 
smile.  She had looked into Sasami soul and found it to be kind.

Sasami slowly pulled back.  She felt kinda funny.  Her mind 
had just been veiwed like a tape in a VCR.  In a confused mannar, Sasami looked over to Cammy.

"What was that?"

"I don't know.  I'll ask her."

Cammy looked at Kamil.  The two stared at each other for a while, 
then Cammy nodded her head and looked back at Sasami.

"Kamil was checking to make sure that you were a good person.  She 
says she can trust you, and that she want's to go to your home to speak to Yoshu."

"You can talk to your sister, without speaking?"

"Yeah, I don't know how I do it, but I just can.  Will you take us to see this Yoshu?"

"Yes.  But before we go there, let me take you to my house.  I have 
a friend named Washu that I think would like to met you two."

"Okay, can I get something to eat too?

"Sure."

Sasami turned toward the house and lead the two girls to her home. 
In her mind she was wondering if Washu could make some since of this.
