Disclaimor: I don't own Tenchi
--Chapter1: Royal Rules--
"Here on Earth, things are so peacefeul," Aeka was saying to Tenchi. "On Jurai, where I come from, things are so different, and the air is peaceful in a different way." Tenchi nodded as he looked into the water, seeing Aeka's reflection in the waves.
"I guess I'm not used to it yet," Aeka went on. "But I love it here on this planet. I wish I could stay here, forever." Tenchi nodded again.
"You're welcome to stay however long as you want," Tenchi said. "Remember that." Aeka smiled.
"Thank you, Tenchi, but you know that, as a princess, my job is to rule Jurai. I can only wait for my people to come here, and then I must leave." She giggled. "I hope they get into some space war or something, so they'll be late." She sighed and continued looking into the water. They sat in silence. Finally, Aeka stood up, and told the black haired boy, "I'll be on my way now, Tenchi. My people's arrival is due here any minute now." She walked towards the house. Tenchi kept looking into the water, now staring at himself.
"I suppose I should see her off," Tenchi said to himself. "After all, I am part of the Jurain royalty as well." He followed Aeka and saw that Jurai's ships were already there, and Sasami was too, who was waiting it's arrival.
"Aeka!" Sasami yelled, running up to her sister. "Come on, it's time to go!" Sasami pulled on Aeka's hand, and the two sisters boarded the ship. They stood at the doorway, waving at everybody.
"Good bye, Tenchi," Aeka called. "I love you!" Ryoko rolled her eyes. Tenchi smiled.
"I'll see you again some time soon!" he yelled back. For the next few minutes, everyone was yelling good-byes. Then Jurai's gaurds began to board the ship as well, rolling up the red carpet as they walked. As they passed Tenchi, one of them stopped and turned to face him.
"You. What's in your pocket?" the gaurd asked. Tenchi looked down to see Tenchi-ken's handle sticking out. Immediately, Tenchi knew that he forgot to give it to Aeka, the rightful owner. He pulled it out and ran up the ship, and handed it to the princess.
"Sorry, you almost left it here," Tenchi said. She smiled and thanked him, and he began to walk back to the others. But another guard stopped him.
"Who are you, boy?" The guard asked.
"My name's Tenchi..."
"Don't play dumb!" The gaurd yelled. "Only royalty from Jurai can handle that sword, and you are not in the files anywhere, I would have seen you, a memorized them! Now, what is your connection to the royal empire of Jurai?!" the gaurd was panting heavily now, had just said all that without taking a breath. Tenchi hesitated, when his grandfather Yosho walked up to the scene.
"This boy is Yosho's grandson," Yosho asid, careful to speak in 3rd person, because he was in disguise, as everybody on Jurai thought Yosho was dead. "Meaning he is Aeka's grandnephew." The gaurd studied the boy.
"Are you?" the gaurd asked. Tenchi nodded. The gaurd narrowed his eyes.
"Hm...you arn't in any records," the gaurd said. Yosho nodded.
"Because of a strange turn of events, he was never recorded. I know this, because I was Yosho's best friend on Earth before he died." Yosho looked the gaurd square in the eye. The gaurd nodded.
"I don't know how to handle this," he said, and went off to fetch his suprivisor. A moment later, Tenchi was shaking hands with a tall shin man with a blond beard.
"Tenchi?" the man asked. Tenchi nodded. "My name is Hoeku."
"I normally wouldn't believe this is so, but we all witnessed you handling the sword Tenchi, and that must mean this man here is telling the truth," he said, looking at Yosho. "That means one thing." Tenchi looked up at Hoeku. The man continued. "You must gain thrown of Jurai, and become Lady Aeka's groom. According to the royalty relations, of course." He walked up to the princess, and Tenchi followed.
"What are you talking about?" Tenchi asked.
"Do you know Princess Aeka?" Hoeku asked Tenchi. He nodded. "And do you know Lord Tenchi?" Hoeku asked Aeka. She nodded. "You as well may proclaim yourselves husband and wife. The wedding will take place as soon as we get to Jurai."
"WHAT?!" Tenchi yelled. "No way!" He looked up to see Aeka crying. He thought of what to say. "You know I hadn't decided yet, Aeka..." he told her. She cried harder.
"I always knew you didn't love me!" she yelled, and ran into the ship. Tenchi didn't follow her. He sighed. Soon, a floating Ryoko was at his shoulder.
"Come on, Tenchi!" Ryoko whined. "We're all waiting for you!" Tenchi nodded, and said to the suprivisor, "Sorry, but I'll be staying at Earth." He walked on, out of the ship's doorway, and Ryoko following him in the air.
"Not so fast." Tenchi turned around.
"You must become Aeka's husband. Your relationship of royalty demands it," Hoeku said.
Tenchi tried to explain. "But I don't like Aeka..." Tenchi told him.
"It matters not whether you like her, your relationship to her is all that is important. Come, Tenchi," and Hoeku began to walk inside the ship. Ryoko looked puzzled.
"What's going on, Tenchi?" she asked.
"He wants me to marry Aeka, just because I'm related by blood!" Tenchi yelled, pointing at the man. Hoeku nodded.
"Precisely. Now COME, Tenchi." Tenchi began to refuse again, but suddenly found himself in a cage aboard Jurai's ship. Ryoko saw Tenchi dissapear, and began to yell.
"TENCHI, come back! I love you! COME BACK!" She yelled, and the space ship took off.
