"Sir?" Makibi Kiyone stood at attention, her hands clasped to control her nervousness.
A man. A very important man shuffled a few papers in his hands. Mihoshi stood in the central office of the Galaxy Police Headquarters where she'd broken off from Mihoshi to speak exclusively with the captain of the department. He'd asked to see her. Another demotion was all she needed to drive her over the edge. Of course, the demotion would totally be not her fault. Damn her partner. Damn that stupid woman straight to hell.
"I want you to know something, Kiyone. Your requests for a new partner assignment were never overlooked. Instead, they were thoroughly evaluated. We took notice of the desperation of each one. We realized how every following request sounded more like a plea for escape. It's why we kept you with Mihoshi all this time. It was your test. Kiyone, you passed." The older man said with no enthusiasm. A rehearsed set of lines he delivered to the stunned woman.
"I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, sir." The officer leaned forward a bit.
Clearing his throat, the man met eyes with Kiyone's stare. "What I'm saying is, we're promoting you. You're due for one."
A smile spread across Kiyone's face with intense speed. The woman held back her excitement. "What will be my new position, sir?"
Without missing a beat, the man slid a manual across the table. "Perhaps you should sit for this. In recognition of your superior abilities, we've decided that it would be best for you to take a seat on the council of the Jurai - Galaxy Police Alliance. You do understand this is a duty of the great skill, and we trust that you will not fail us."
"SIR!" Kiyone lept to her feet. She didn't know why she was upset, but she was fuming. "Sir! I don't understand how you could demote me to the lowest class of officers and then thrust me into the highest, most prestigious position available. I believe you are playing an unfair trick on me!" She realized what angered her.
"I assure you that this is no joke, Kiyone." The captain said softly. "If you do not feel you're apt to take on such a duty, I will report this to our superiors and we can find someone suitable for the job."
Falling back into her chair, Kiyone took a second to reflect on everything. "So you're telling me the truth. My dreams. You're not taking hold of my dreams and molding them into some sick joke?"
The man simply shook his head in a no fashion.
"You will be totally devoid of Mihoshi. She will be assigned a new partner and will still patrol the Solar System with said partner. Congratulations, Kiyone. You should prepare yourself for your trip to the higher office." The captain finally broke a smile.
Standing to her feet slowly this time, Kiyone knew that if she thought about it, she'd make a stupid decision. Mihoshi had been to her what pesticide was to a bug, a tapeworm was to a person, a disease. Mihoshi had been Kiyone's disease from day one. Kiyone spent day after day after night after night trying to find ways to get rid of Mihoshi. Instead of leaving immediately, Kiyone returned to her dorm room in at the HQ where her and Mihoshi shared a bunk bed. Mihoshi slept at the bottom. Much to her dismay, Mihoshi was passed out on her bunk, snoring as content as if she was the one that just had all her dreams come true.
Not giving much more thought to her actions, Kiyone withdrew her gun from it's holster and pointed it at Mihoshi's temple. She whispered ever-so-softly. "There was a time I was so desperate to get rid of you that I was going to kill you. I stood like this, Mihoshi and I placed my finger on the trigger. I can't say I ever regretted ever getting that far. I also can't say what stopped me. Once I turned the gun away from you sleeping form, I placed it to my own temple. I prayed for release as I steadied my trigger finger. I wanted to kill you, and then I wanted to kill me. I realized then, that I needed to get out of this deadly partnership before one of us died."
Mihoshi shuffled in bed.
"But... it's time for me to go, Mihoshi. And when you awaken, I'll be gone and you'd have never said goodbye. I don't know why that makes me feel better about just leaving, but I do. I can't say I ever loved you. I can't even say I liked you most of the time. You didn't teach me about being carefree, or to love, or to have feelings. You taught me what a parasite could be. You taught me how to endure the worst, hoping for the best one day. I have the best, now. And you can't take that away from me. Do your best with your new partner, Mihoshi."
She didn't even bother to pack. The detective grabbed a few things from a draw and shoved them in a Galaxy Police gym bag. She slipped out of the room and closed that door for the last time ever.
"I hate you, Mihoshi. I always will."

Ahhh this was a short chapter and I'll tell you why. I just wanted to get Kiyone promoted so that events can fall into place.
Here's an explanation: I don't know if ABHOR is a strong enough word for the way I feel about Mihoshi. I've watched Tenchi Muyo, Universe and Shin and I can't ever seem to make myself like her. I've always hated people that were a burden, that brought more harm than good. She always brought Kiyone down. A lot of people say "Well they're in love" or "Well they're good friends" and it's probably true, but on the surface, Kiyone hates Mihoshi and it's good enough for me.
So this won't be a good story for all those Mihoshi fans out there. Because I just want to express my intense dislike for Mihoshi through Kiyone's fortune and vengeance.
I do not own Tenchi Muyo! Nor do I own it's characters. Tenchi Muyo! is a product of AIC and Pioneer. Blah blah blah! Fine print! That is all! o.o;
