From Me to You
By Hotsuma09
A now twenty-four-year-old Tenchi Masaki laid peacefully under his aqua and purple bed coverings. Slightly cursing to himself as the sun light through the blinds. His long loose ponytail hung down his bare back. Muscular arms now replaced his scrawny upper limbs.
"Ugh. Morning comes so quickly." Tenchi placed on his blue and white jacket and exited his room.
"Noike, may I help with setting up the table, please Noike?" Mihoshi bubbled as she looked over the entrees.
"Don't you dare touch anything, Mihoshi!" Noike shouted abruptly.
Tenchi approached the living room, overhearing the commotion in the kitchen, he chuckled, it has been seven years and each day has been out of the ordinary. Tenchi scanned the surroundings noticing Ayeka approaching and merely bowed before she continued into the kitchen. Tenchi noticed the behavior of Ayeka and Ryoko despite it being four years ago Noike joined the family. Wrinkling his lips, he looked to the rafter noticing the absence of the cyan hair woman.
"It is so beautiful outside, how are the preparations for Minaho arrival coming?" Tennyo walked in from the dock.
"It is coming along, Sasami and I started very early." Noike placed the pot on the table.
"Oh Tenchi, I am so excited to meet Minaho." Sasami gleefully tugged on his jacket.
Ryoko teleported in to the living room, quickly glancing to the younger Masaki.
"Oh Ryoko, Good morning." Tenchi smiled only to frown when the former pirate mumbled walking by him. Ryoko was becoming less connected to him with the arrivals of distant family members from Jurai.
"Oh, Miss Ryoko, mind helping me set up the room for Minaho." Ayeka looked to the pirate.
"Yeah, whatever." Ryoko muttered. Ryoko and Ayeka's friendship had grew over the years, both realizing that some belligerent behaviors are not always the answer to problems, and neither wanted to lose Tenchi due to irresponsible behavior. Behind the two women, Tenchi observed them. His brow furrowed as he watched Ryoko retreating form.
"Hey Tenchi time to sweep the grounds." Lord Katsuhito slid the door open from the dock.
"Coming!" Tenchi quickly sauntered over to his grandfather.
"Who is this Minaho chick anyway?" Ryoko patted on the pillow.
"Airi's daughter, Kiyone's sister." Ayeka admitted smoothing out the blanket.
"How much 'family' are going to come out the woodworks? First, a sister, Tennyo, who is the splitting image of Kiyone. A 'fiancée' appointed by Lady Seto, who turned out to be a spy only to be just another occupant in the house. Now, this aunt. I do not like any of this." Ryoko took out her frustration on the pillow.
"Sounds to me that your jealous, Miss Ryoko." Ayeka smiled. Ryoko side glanced the purple-haired princess.
"So, are you not? You Juraian's are completely weird, inbred!"
"Do not neglect the fact that you are also of Juraian descent." Ayeka rose slightly chuckling. Her purple kimono hitting the backs of her feet as she walked across the room.
"I guess. Enough! I am depressed enough thinking about it. I am out of here." Ryoko phased away.
Ryoko entered the kitchen where she quickly made a plate from the remaining's of food on the counter top. She refused to sit with the rest of the occupants. Sitting behind the house she consumed the rice and fried egg in a small white bowl occasionally fanning away flies. The rest of the Masaki clan sat together consuming the breakfast. Tenchi looked around once again noticing the absence of Ryoko.
"Tenchi, are you feeling well?" Sasami looked on sadly.
"Ah, yes Sasami." Tenchi smiled.
"Eat, Eat. Tenchi, keeps you strong and focus." Sasami cheered. Tenchi expression faltered as Ryoko's behavior began to significantly dawn on him. Noike quickly brought him out of his thoughts.
"I bet your wondering what type of person is Minaho." Noike chuckled placing her cup down. Tenchi merely nodded, it was a thought but not his current thought.
"Well she is quite a normal person. Thoughtful and serious. She is more like Seto's-leash. But, she is somewhat of a prankster." Noike admitted.
"That is a small mercy. I may add. Oh, looks like she is entering orbit as we speak." Washu spoke sipping her tea, peeking at her holo-top.
Behind the house, Ryoko placed the bowl to her side. She rested her elbows on her knees. Suddenly she heard shuffling of feet approaching her area.
"Who's there?" Ryoko shot up.
"Is this the Masaki residence?
"Are you looking for a shelter, or are you another family member coming out of the woodworks. Wait…" Ryoko found that the woman held a striking yet-younger resemblance to Funaho, staring back at her. "You are…" Ryoko trailed off.
"I am Minaho. Tenchi's aunt. Please to meet you." Minaho bowed to the cyan hair woman. Ryoko sighed, "Indeed you are. I guess I should show you the way." Ryoko reluctantly ushered the woman into the home.
Ryoko strolled through the kitchen occasionally looking back to the woman. Opening the door to the living room, she allowed Minaho to step toward the family.
"Oh, Minaho." Noike shot up and bowed to her. Allowing her to sit in Ryoko's designated seat. Ryoko scoffed at the scene folding her arms. Tenchi glanced at Ryoko before he allowed his sights to fall on his aunt. Minaho was staring at him with a gleam in her eyes.
"Nice to meet you-" Minaho grabbed Tenchi by his hand pulling him into a hug. Ryoko tightened her old on her arms turning her head away from the two. Ayeka fingers rested on her lips, "Oh my." Was all she could muster out.
"Let us have a nice long chat later, okay Tenchi? I am starving." She clasps her hands together once she parted from him. Tenchi blushed and nodded, only to notice the spot where Ryoko was positioned was vacant, his expression faltered.
Ryoko hurried to the counter, panting, trying to hold back her overwhelming emotions. Why should she be jealous? after all Minaho is his aunt. At that moment, a magenta haired woman encroached on the scene.
"Are you letting this situation, get to you again, Ryoko?" Washu questioned hoping up on the stool.
"It is none of your business, Mother." Ryoko kept her head buried.
"Get used to it, there are more 'family member's' to come about!" Washu nasally pitched her voice.
"That is rubbish, Washu and you know it. Stop trying to ruffle my feathers!" Ryoko banged her fist on the counter. Unbeknownst to them, the rest of the occupants took in a bit of the mother and daughter feud happening in the kitchen. Tenchi paused, resting the chopsticks on his bottom lip. Ayeka excused herself, entering the kitchen.
"What is going on here? We can hear you two." Ayeka looked to them. Washu carelessly dismiss the princess. Ryoko peered down at her tightened fist.
"You are telling me that you are not completely bothered by her being here." Ryoko turned to Ayeka.
"Of course not. She is his aunt." Ayeka closed in her distance to the pirate. "Lord Tenchi is of Jurian royalty. And because you played a role in all of us meeting Lord Tenchi. Your self-esteem should be much higher than this. I am positive that, he will not lose sight of who truly has his heart, Ryoko."
"Like Seina, he may choose to have all of us and I am not going to want to share him at all." Ryoko placed her hands on her hips. Ayeka sympathetically smiled, placing her hand on Ryoko's shoulder, "Is that why you have been distant? You think that the next relative or such arrives, Tenchi would not be able to make a decision?"
Ryoko gritted her teeth, Ayeka was observing her much more than she thought.
"Quite impressive, Lady Ayeka. Very in depth analysis on my little Ryoko." The scientist nasally laughed.
"Shut up the both of you!" Ryoko shouted, she quickly turned to head out the door, when Tenchi met her at the exit.
"Hey, what is going on? Ryoko?" Tenchi strolled over to her. Ryoko stepped back, not daring to brush him as she walked by. Tenchi watched her as she walked out.
"What is wrong with her?" He questioned Washu and Ayeka.
"Don't mind her. She is dealing with a midlife crisis." Washu chimed in heading to her lab.
"Let us not be rude." Ayeka nudged Tenchi out of the kitchen.
