Chapter 105: 'Sins Of The Father.'

"Tell me," Kagito addressed The girl pleasantly.

"Why dose a 'weapon' need an education hmm?"

The younger incarnation of Ryoko simply looked at him curiously as he approached. Continuing to study him when he stopped only a few feet away regarding her intently.

"Power down." He commanded firmly.

In response the girl closed her eyes, flipping a mental switch causing the colors of her battle skin to fade, ebony and crimson lightening, its protective epidermis thinning until she stood before him dressed only in the Gems at her wrists and forehead.

"I will say this..." Kagito said after a moments pause to admire. Stepping close, looking down into her upturned curious face.

"For a weapon, you are astoundingly beautiful!"

"Sweet Tsunami..." Ena breathed, utterly repulsed, as Kagito lifted the girls unprotesting chin and brought his lips to hers.

"Oh please..." Ryoko begged at Ena's side, covering her face in an attempt to it shut out.

"Please don't make me watch this!"

"You must!" Ena insisted.

"Ryoko..." She continued passionately.

"If you don't face up to your past, remember it. You will NEVER move beyond it!"

For a moment, there was nothing. The initial response being only a quaking to her shoulders as Ryoko attempted to control the emotions running wild within.

"Damn you!" She swore miserably at last. "God damn you!"

"You taste good..." She heard Kagito's voice distantly.

Through tears that had suddenly came upon her Ryoko forced her gaze back to the source.

Seeing her younger self, study Kagito's face. The eyes of her younger incarnation wide, her expression questing and open with wonder as she attempted to understand.

"And what have we here?" He whispered rhetorically, suddenly cupping and lifting her breasts, such as they were.

Though several cup sizes from her current, the adolescent Ryoko was still a generous 'A' appearing sufficient if not quite ample on her lanky frame.

"My sweet little child!" Kagito breathed bending to nuzzle as a slight gasped escaped the girl's lips at the sensation, throwing back her head arching back in obvious pleasure.

"Yes..." Kagito sighed heavily after a moments suckling. "You like that don't you?"

"Please..." The older Ryoko whimpered pressing her hand again to her face almost wishing she could gouge out her eyes rather than watch. "No more!"

"Do not turn away!" Ena told her adamantly, sliding arms around Ryoko's trembling form.

"You can not run from this truth any longer!"

The only response forth coming this time was a ragged sob.

"And there is more!" Ena added angrily.

"WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO?!" Washu's voice suddenly roared.

Forcing Ryoko's startled gaze upward to behold her Mother/creator storming into yet another unfamiliar room directly across from where Kagito reclined upon an elaborate almost throne-like chair.

Her younger self-standing, mutely observing only a few feet away.

"Professor?" He nodded at the scientist gravely.

"I've been reviewing subject seventeen's bio-logic telemetry over the past eight days!" Washu snapped as she continued forward, angrily banishing a fistful of crumpled readouts.

"Kept noticing unusually endorphin and hormone production!" She added before stopping only a few feet away, furiously glaring.

"And what of it?" Kagito sighed calmly. "Surely the testing we've subjected her to would produce such?"

"Thought that for a while myself!" Washu snapped.

"Trouble was, time indexes didn't match up! Got worried she might be having some kind of hormonal imbalance due to the growth accelerant!"

"Such concern." He smiled. "How touching."

Washu started, clearly not liking his tone.

"Enough to take a pap-smear!" She challenged.

"You wan'na tell me what I found?" She added eyes narrowing accusingly...

"I've merely been conducting some experiments of my own." Kagito replied mildly, regarding the enraged scientist through veiled eyes.

"Oh, I'll just bet!" Washu sneered in obvious disgust.

"And ... in spite of any perceived impropriety." He assured.

"I believe I may have discovered something." He paused fixing Washu with and odd look.

"Even you in you're brilliance would find quite astounding!"

Despite her anger, ever the scientist, the remark was just curious enough to give Washu pause.

"Yeah?" She rasped, not letting go of her anger. "Like what?"

Kagito's response was to smile as his hand moved ever so slightly, deftly touching a stud on the chair arm beside him. Instantly triggering a sudden violent flash of light.

When its dazzling effect had abated sufficiently Washu was revealed, standing in the same exact location, a look of astonishment frozen upon her face.

"Your no where near as smart as you think old woman." Kagito announced smugly.

Leisurely he paused to Studying her ridged form for several long moments before a laugh finally burst from him.

"How long do you think I would be content to remain your lap dog, Professor?" He asked. Delivering her title in a mocking tone, before rising to his feet.

"I have always admired your intellect." He added smugly as he approached.

"But you would create such power ... merely to satisfy some scientific curiosity." He paused, while taking his time, slowly circling her frozen form.

"I on the other hand ... would see it exploited to its truest potential!"

As Ryoko watched from her older perspective, she noted Washu's eyes slowly closed only to open again as Kagito also watched the event with obvious pleasure.

"I would hope that 'you' would at the very least appreciate the effort it took to modify your 'spatial resonator' into to this most perfect of traps." He added with a sarcastic bow.

"Not as efficient for biological storage as a Jurian 'time freeze chamber' I do of course realize.

But then if it were, you wouldn't have the pleasure of watching! As I put your discoveries to proper use."

He again moved in front of the frozen scientist. Stooping to look directly into her eyes.

"My only regret," He smiled warmly. "Is that in this state, I can't touch."

He leaned even closer, his voice falling to a conspiratorial whisper.

"For you see..." He added. "I have always admired your beauty as well!"

Kagito stood that way for several moments, letting his eyes rove over Washu frozen form till at last he straitened.

His expression growing cold as his eyes hardened.

"In spite of how aloof you have always been!" He snorted bitterly. "Unapproachable!

The Great Washu Hakubi!" He announced to the chamber while stepping away flinging wide his arms for effect.

"The greatest Scientific genius in the known universe!"

He then slowly turned, finally facing her again.

"Stuck up old bitch." He concluded flatly. "Hiding in the body of a child!"

Kagito waited for a moment then, savoring the moment. He then leaned further forward, his face again inches from the field before Washu's captive eyes...

"It would give me the greatest pleasure." He whispered coldly.

"To show you proper use for that, sweet young body you inhabit like some ... parasite!"

With an ugly sneer he turned away, making his way back to his elaborate chair.

"But alas!" He called over his shoulder, before turning to seat himself.

"I fear all that you can do is watch!"

So saying Kagito reclined, regarding again the paralyzed Washu darkly.

"Watch..." He continued. "While I demonstrate how a real woman shows how to properly please a man!"

Reclining with a snap of his fingers, signaling the girl to step from where she had been standing beside his thrown.

Moving slowly, yet with an undeniable saunter until she stood at last directly before him.

Regarding Kagito for a moment with what appeared a knowing little smile before she then obediently knelt before him. Eagerly lowering her face to his groin.

"I was his!" Ryoko wailed tearing her eyes away...

"He owned me! Body and soul!" She continued brokenly taking refuge against Ena shoulder, and in that moment not feeling the least bit odd about it. It all seemed some how natural drawing strength as those soft blue arms were drawn tightly about her as Ena as instinctively held her tighter.

"I would have done anything!" Ryoko cried shamelessly.

"Even killed myself if he so much as asked!"

"You loved him." Ena breathed gently to her ear. "Didn't you Ryoko?"

Ryoko looked up, her tear-streaked face glistening poignantly.

"Yes," she whispered, unable to believe she was saying it.

"I didn't know anything else!" She sobbed. "He was like god to me!"

She studied Ena for some moments, watching as the beautiful Boralin nodded, indicating something.

Ryoko turned, her eyes questing, gaze falling upon yet another resurrected moment playing out behind.

"At first," She faltered, looking upon an elegant bedroom with lavish appointments. "It was wonderful!"

Lying upon his back in the center of a huge bed, Kagito gazed adoringly upon where an equally nude Ryoko straddled him. Siting back on her heels atop, her lovely face grimacing passionately while she slowly, rhythmically moved against him.

"Shortly after he'd imprisoned Washu," Ryoko continued even as the view shifted again to another huge yet similar chamber to the ones before. At any rate it was there that Kagito, now dressed in armor spared with the girl.

"He began to teach me! All about my powers!"

Ena watched as the younger version failed to properly guard herself. She grimaced as the oversight immediately earning a vicious backhand across the girls face.

"He was harsh, but I was ever eager to please!" Ryoko added while her young counterpart smiled through a busted lip. Even as this vision also faded, replaced by a view of a smaller room in which Kagito now stood cleaning and inspecting an array of hand weapons.

His long elegant hands selecting and testing each in turn, seeking any imperfection.

It was at that moment his lips curled into a smile. Gazing into the mirror surface of the slivery blade he held, noting as Ryoko made an appearance in the rooms door way behind.

Stark naked, wet to the skin, her normally wild mane lying slicked against her skull. She stalked carefully towards him, as he continued his motions as though unaware.

Till at the last instant he suddenly whirled, his extended blade just resting against her slender throat.

There was no startling, no widening of her eyes. She continued to stand there gazing back at him with adoration, till with a smile of genuine warmth Kagito lowered his blade. Tracing with the very point down the length of her body. Till at last with a blur of motion he sheathed the weapon. Spreading his arms as Ryoko lunged against him, wrapping her self affectionately around him.

"And always ... Arin rewarded me!" Ryoko concluded wistfully to Ena.

"It was right around that time," She paused, the barest hint of a smile coloring her face.

"That Kagito first introduced me to my life partner."

"They, like you are based on 'The Mass'," Kagito was explaining as he seemed fade into existence before Ryoko and Ena. Leading the younger Ryoko along a line of occupied Specimen containers.

"Except in their case, a hyper-dense crystalline creature was used!" Kagito continued. Pausing to smile at her rapt attention.

"Essentially a living rock!" He concluded proudly with a gesture.

From where she stood beside Ena, Ryoko felt a pang of horror, the gorge rising in her throat at the repressed memories. Looking upon the contents of fifty some odd containers.
