Morning slowly crept through the window of the young Tenchi Masaki. He had arrived home late the previous night, gratefully avoiding being pounced on by at least 5 cute but chaotic females. He reflected once again on his choice to return from Tokyo during the break. He smiled at the thought that although it would be crazy, he really did miss the girls quite a lot. 'I won't be home for long, but it is nice when we are all together.' he thought to himself. "MMmmmm, Tenchi..." He heard coming from the floor. "Don't stop...ungh..... Tenchi!" The voice was definitely Ryoko. Tenchi cursed himself for being the king of bad timing, but this was only after he had moved toward the sound just in time to see Ryoko phase out of her nightgown, her fingers moving between her legs in rhythm with her cries of "Tenchi!.. Ungh...YES!!....OHG!.....TENCHI!!!" He couldn't pull his eyes away from the sight in from of him, a fully nude Ryoko, body glistening in post orgasm perspiration. His eyes were frozen to her curves as her hand moved away from her sex and her body slowly relaxed into steady breathing. Tenchi could feel the blood dripping onto his sheets from his nose as he noticed Ryoko shiver and begin to stir. He quickly ducked his head back under his covers and made a great effort to look non existent. Later he would recall how keenly aware he was of her presence and movement in his room, he felt her awaken sit up and look toward his bed, and heard her near silent whisper of "Tenchi .... I miss you.", and then after a moment he felt her phase out of the room. Only then did Tenchi realize that he was holding his breath.
Ryoko phased back into her room and back into her nightgown, Ayeka was glaring at her with a look of pure disgust. "What?" she retorted. "If you MUST have such.. hentai fantasies, Must they be so LOUD?" Ayeka continued her glare. "Well pardon me princess priss, Like you haven't had your own "Hentai" dreams about Tenchi!" "Well at least I don't broadcast mine to the entire Planet!" Said Ayeka, just realizing that their volume had been escalating and that she in fact had just broadcasted to the entire house at least that she had been having such dreams about Tenchi. To make matters worse Ryoko was Laughing hysterically and Sasami was obviously awake but pretending not to be. Ayeka stood up and stormed out of the room, not sure whether she should be more angry with Ryoko or herself.
"It's okay Sasami you can get up now." Ryoko finally managed through trying to control her laughter.
Sasami sat up and smiled sheepishly at Ryoko. "Don't worry about it Sasami, we were just talking about Naughty dreams" at this Sasami started to turn as red as Ayeka. " Their Normal, I would be worried if Ayeka Didn't have dreams like that, it just means that she is a normal healthy girl, But seriously, can I help it if I talk in my sleep?" Sasami giggled at that statement, "You really mean that? they are normal?" "sure are Kiddo" "Good, I'll go start breakfast." "And I'll go back to sleep." Ryoko pulled the blanket over her head as she settled back onto her futon. Sasami got up and dashed down to the kitchen, Tenchi would be arriving on the morning train and She wanted to make him something special. She was thus a bit surprised to see him Rummaging in the icebox. "Tenchi!", she half shouted half-whispered as she ran to throw her arms around his waist and bury her head in his chest. "Good morning Sasami", he said hugging her back. "Tenchi, when did you get back? I thought you were going to be on the morning train." "I caught the last train in last night, and came up to the house after everyone was asleep. I was just going to grab a quick bite before I headed up to the shrine to visit with grandpa." "But Tenchi I was going to make you a spectacular breakfast." "Well how about this, I'll grab a snack and go talk to grandpa for a while, you can tell my dad not to pick me up at the station, and you can make me a spectacular Lunch." Sasami still looked a little disappointed but conceded. " And Sasami, could you not tell anyone I am here yet, I have some things I need to talk to grandpa about privately." "Sure." Tenchi kissed her lightly on the forehead and walked quietly out the kitchen door.
Walking through the woods Tenchi ate slowly and tried to sort out the jumble of experiences and emotions that had fallen upon him in the last few weeks. Not to mention in the last Hour. he was hoping that grandpa would be able to help him sort some of it out. He had so Many questions running through his head. Foremost was "Why couldn't I turn away from watching Ryoko?" "Probably because you are a male." He heard Katsuhito''s voice come at him from be hind a tree, he barely had a chance to catch the bokken flying toward his head before his grandfathers attack was baring down on him. "You made me drop my chicken, at least I still have my apple." "You should pay more attention to the signs around you, they can lead to both challenges and opportunity." "Would you mind clarifying that old man?" "Only if you can answer me on question." Hirohito made a sudden array of amazing and difficult attacks, disarming Tenchi and stopping the last millimeter from a fatal blow to his neck. "Who are you Tenchi Masaki?" With that the old man made a final quick move with his bokken, took a bit of Tenchi's now lost apple, and disappeared into the trees. Leaving Tenchi breakfastless and alone in the woods leading to the Masaki Shrine. 'Who am I?'
Sasami was just finishing making breakfast when Nobiuki came down the stairs, shoes in one hand saying, "Has anyone seen my keys? If I don't find them I'll be late picking up Tenchi at the station." "I would check with Ryoko about your keys, but you don't need to worry about getting Tenchi, it's already been taken care of." Nobiuki, stood there for a moment looking fairly confused. "OH, Okay." He shrugged turned and walked back up the stairs. "Ryoko, have you seen my car keys?" He went to the door to the girl's bedroom and knocked but there was no answer. A large smile crossed his lecherous face and he slid the door open, knowing that Ryoko very often slept in little to nothing. But both her and Ayeka's Futon's were empty. Dejected he closed the door and continued his search for his keys elsewhere.
Ayeka finally finished in the bathroom and came out to find a relatively empty house. She could hear Sasami in the kitchen and the tell tale sounds of Ryo-ohki eating her morning bushel of carrots. She caught a glimpse of Nobiuki going up the stairs holding his shoes above his shoulders and muttering something about keys. But Ryoko wasn't in her customary location on the couch drinking her customary before breakfast bottle of Sake. 'it is odd how empty a house can feel even with so many people in it.' she thought morosely to herself. 'Oh Tenchi, how I miss you.'
The quiet of the morning was broken suddenly by the exploding entrance of an unusually adult looking Washuu. Ayeka couldn't help smiling to herself as the sparsely clad red head landed in a heap on the floor, hair still giving of a thin line of black smoke. Washuu stood and began brushing the blackened areas that covered her nearly completely naked skin. Ayeka could barely contain her laughter, but managed to keep her vocalizations to a simple "Are you alright Miss Washuu?" "Fine, Thank you Ayeka, I think I'll just have a bath now." Said Washuu as she tried not to walk bowlegged or with a limp into the bathroom.
"Ayeka," Nobiuki called from the top of the stairs. "Was Ryoko in the bathroom?" "No, why?" "I can't find my car keys anywhere and Sasami suggested that Ryoko might have an idea of where they are." "She was in bed last time I saw her." "I looked and she's not there." Ayeka let the 'I looked' Part of that statement go in fear of a larger dilemma. Ayeka was going to go with Nobiuki to pick up Tenchi at the station, Nobiuki's Car Keys were missing and so was Ryoko. "Ryo-ohki!" She shouted, prepared to pulverize Ryoko for the most likely scenario currently playing through Ayeka's head. the Head of the cabbit appeared in the door of the kitchen, and a slightly irritated "Mya?" emanated from the small furry body. Ayeka instantly put on her 'sweet' face, which made Ryo-ohki even more wary. "Ryo-ohki, would you be able to tell me where Ryoko is and possibly where she put Nobiuki's Keys?" "Nya." Ryo-ohki mewed in reply and turned to go back to the last of her precious carrots. "Ryo-ohki where is Ryoko and where are Nobiuki's keys?!!!!" The startled Ryo-ohki bounded back into the kitchen to hide behind Sasami. "Oneesama!! Leave Ryo-ohki alone, you're scarring her." "I'm going to be skinning her if she doesn't tell me where Ryoko went!" "You can probably guess that one on your own, besides Ryo-ohki obviously doesn't know. Isn't that right Ryo-ohki." "MYA!!" Unfortunately Sasami could see the vein in her older sisters forehead begin to pulsate. "However, she may be able to help you find Nobiuki's keys, if you give her a reason to help you." Ayeka suddenly resumed her 'sweet' face, making both her sister and the cabbit increasingly nervous, Ayeka could be very dangerous when she is jealous. "Hi Ryo-ohki." "Mya?" "I was wondering dear sweet Ryo-ohki, if you would be so kind as to help me find Nobiuki's keysJ? For say a bunch of nice juicy carrots." "Nya" "Okay! How about a basket of nice juicy carrots?" "Nya" "Ok, a bushel, no 2 bushels of nice juicy carrots." Ryo-ohki raised her ears but said nothing. "FINE!! A truckload of nice juicy carrots!" "Mi-Ya!" came Ryo-ohki's response as she bounded into the family room where Nobiuki was currently tearing apart the couch, shoes held above his head. Ryo-ohki approached him determinedly, and sniffed the shoes almost gagging, then moved to sniff his wallet, and seemed to pickup the scent she was looking for. Then she turned and bounded back toward the kitchen and out the door toward the Lake. After a moment she stopped at a tree near the lake and started to 'mya' at one of the high branches. Nobiuki started to cry, Ayeka began to storm angrily causing several flying logs to appear in the air. Sasami however leaned down to Ryo-ohki and asked her to get the keys down. I took her about half a minute but she got the keys, and Sasami went back to the kitchen to finish breakfast and start preparing lunch.
Meanwhile in the bath, Washuu had finally gotten the rest of the soot off, too bad the crotchless panties, stockings, garter and edible bra were ruined, they were her sexiest clothes. 'Guess I've been using my Tenchi Mecha a little too hard lately' she thought to herself as she sank down to soak in the tub, the hot water felt good to her sore and raw nether regions. 'Yeah, definitely too hard. Still I don't know why it exploded. I'll miss it, I could build another one, but it will never be as good as the real thing." Washuu let hear head slip of the ledge, allowing water and silence to fill her ears. She closed her eyes and began playing her favorite fantasy over in her head. A smile crossed her lips. "Tenchi-sama"
Tenchi was now more confused, and still hungry. He decided he would try to sneak back to the house and get Sasami to slip him some breakfast. He approached the house just in time to see his father's car drive away with what looked like Ayeka occupying the passenger seat. She had probably pressed his dad into taking her to the station, and if she was on her way there, Ryoko couldn't be far behind. 'Why do they have to fight over me all the time. Well at least that the house would be mostly empty, Washuu almost never came up from her lab until later, and Sasami and Ryo-ohki would be the only other ones around. Tenchi entered the kitchen and Sasami was just finishing breakfast. "Oh, Tenchi you're back already." Tenchi slipped his hand behind his neck and smiled meekly at the girl. "Yeah grandpa attacked me and my breakfast was his spoils, do you suppose I could have something else to eat, I think I'm gonna go down by Funaho and think for a while." "Sure, wait a minute while I pack it for you." "Mya!" "Ok Ryo-ohki, I'll play with you" Tenchi chased Ryo-ohki into the living room. "Well hello Tenchi." Said a very Adult looking Washuu, especially since she was in a very short somewhat revealing towel. "Miss Washuu," Tenchi quickly turned his back to Washuu and clutched his nose to stop the immanent bleed. " I'm sorry, I didn't know that you would be …" A moment later he felt her gentle touch on his shoulder . "Tenchi.." he felt her breath on his neck. "Welcome home." She said as her arms wrapped around him from behind and her lips enveloped his earlobe. Tenchi Could feel Washuu's breasts pressing into his back, her hands massaging his chest and her mouth gently biting at his neck and ear. He could also feel the blood dripping into his hand.
"Tenchi." Sasami called as she came from the kitchen. "Your breakfast is read--. Good morning Miss Washuu" "Good morning Sasami" Washuu replied. "Sasami-chan!" Tenchi stepped forward, having to pull a little to get out of Washuu's grasp." Thank you very much, I think I'll go now…see you later." He took the bento box and almost ran out the door. "Can I get you some breakfast Miss Washuu?" "Thank you Sasami, I'll be back out in a minute." "Um, Miss Washuu, your towel?" She said picking it up and holding it out to Washuu. A younger Washuu turned back to Sasami and took the towel, then disappeared behind the door to her lab.
"Tenchi Masaki" Tenchi said to himself again. "Who are you Tenchi Masaki?" The steps Leading down to Funaho were slick with morning dew. Tenchi played his grandfather's challenge to himself over and over again in his mind. "Who are you Tenchi Masaki?"
The question kind of eliminated the simple response of 'I am Tenchi Masaki.' So I am kind and caring and.. No that's WHAT I am not WHO I am.. I am the son of Nobiuki and Achika Masaki, My father is an Architect and my mother was a wonderful kind and loving woman, daughter of Katsuhito Masaki, my grandfather who trained me." "I trained you in the ways of a Jurai warrior Tenchi, because you have the power of Jurai, and I may be Katsuhito Masaki, but I am also Yosho, son of the emperor of Jurai." Yosho stepped forward and dropped the shade of an old man that he had worn for so long. "And you are my heir."
"But I am still in high school, What do I know about being the crown prince of Jurai?" "About as much as I did at your age." "You have answered the question Tenchi, You are a high school student, and a son and a friend and a good and honest person. You have the possibility of a life that conforms solely to the dictates of that definition of yourself. But if you expand the definition to include Crown Prince of Jurai, Heir to the Juraian Empire. It opens up the possibilities of your life very dramatically. Especially if you include possible future husband to Ayeka, Princess or Jurai, or Ryoko, Most Wanted Space Pirate, or Washuu, greatest scientific genius in the universe, or Mihoshi, 'Expert Detective' under the Galactic Police. Or more than one of them, since that is an option that the emperor of Jurai has." Yosho once again donned the guise of Katsuhito. "And to answer your question Tenchi, there are many beautiful women around you who each in her own way loves you very deeply. With you away there is not much less fighting between them. They are here because of you, they stay because of you, and their friendship hinges on you, as does a good amount of their happiness. The caring and kindness you have shown has led you to this level of responsibility. Any choices you make now effect a very large number of people very deeply. Be aware of that." Then once again Katsuhito walked into the woods, leaving Tenchi alone, without his breakfast.
