Prologue of Pushing Forward Through Life

All is silent in the Masaki household for once. But then again it's somewhere around 3AM. Tenchi groaned in frustration. Why can't I sleep, this is insane, I went to bed 5 hours ago and I'm still tossing and turning! Sighing again he folds his arms behind his head and stares at the ceiling. Deep down inside Tenchi knows what is bothering him. But with all the chaos that happens during the day he doesn't really have much time to actually think about it at least until the night falls and the house is still. His trouble stems from the 6 people who bring him happiness but also a great amount of...not
sadness more like grief and sometimes pain. My life seems so full.  I'm surrounded by a wonderful family, everyone showing that they care in their own special way, but yet sometimes I feel so alone. Like right now I feel so alone, I wish I had someone who I could talk to...and without being afraid that they would rob me of my virtue.  The last thought came with a snicker when he realized that's something Aeka would always say about Ryoko. Closing his eyes he lets his thoughts wander from girl to girl. So many guys would kill to be in my shoes.   Surrounded by 6 beautiful women but 2 in particular want my attention. But I just don't feel anything for them, well anything more then the kind of love that is shared between brother and sisters. Ryoko and Aeka, those two I swear, one day you two are gonna tear me in two...and the sad thing is, I'll just be in the middle flailing helplessly. Well that is unless I take charge of the situation…gah but I don't know what to do, I don't want to hurt anyone… "I'd hate to see what would happen if I brought home a normal Japanese girl", the young man chuckled to himself. "They would probably start off by interrogating her, and then tell the poor girl that I am their destiny."

Tenchi sighed quietly again. Ryoko you are so carefree, not a care in the world. You do as you want whether it is coming or going, glomping me or skipping chores you manage to lift my spirits with your happy go lucky attitude.

Aeka, you are Ryoko's archrival. And in many ways you are the exact opposite. Whereas Ryoko is a x-space pirate, you are a princess of the Jurai Empire. Always the pristine and proper one, well that is unless Ryoko starts to irk you, then your anger is like the fury
of the heavens. At this thought Tenchi laughed out loud, thinking of all the times the princess had let go of her princessly self control to fight Ryoko. I know they would never hurt each other but I really wished that their rivalry would end and they would get along, if not just for a few days, so I could have some peace and quiet.

Washu, always trying to get me to show her the power of the Light Hawk Wings...and to get that sample. At this thought Tenchi shudders in fear. But then again, what can you do? She is the greatest scientific genius in the universe and I can't blame her for her curiosity. Still...that 12 year old body kind of makes me feel weird, I mean to see so much intelligence from someone who looks so young but is at least 20,000 years old.

Mihoshi, sweet Mihoshi you are always trying to break up the fight between Aeka and Ryoko. Sometimes you are a little bit clumsy, but that's ok. I have to admit there is a certain charm to it. I know you mean well but...well lets just leave it at that.

Sasami, the little sister I never had. You are so sweet, and
like Mihoshi you have a peculiar insight when it comes to certain
things. You just pick up on it and you zero in on it. There is no
hiding some things from you. You say that cooking for us is like your
way of giving us all a big hug. In this family that is a REALLY BIG
HUG. You will make a wonderful wife someday, but to me you will always
be Sasami, the little sister I never had but always wanted. You are
someone I can confide in and tell my secrets too when I need to. My
little sister.

Slowly sleep is starting to creep into Tenchi. He glances at his clock and it now says 3:43 AM. Groaning he thinks to himself, great I have to be up again in like 3½ hours. But I have one last person to think about...Kiyone. It's hard to tell anything about Kiyone, she is always so calm and level headed. Well then there is the patented yelling. Tenchi could just hear it now. "MIHOSHI!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!!!" He can't help but
laugh out loud when he thinks of all the antics of the Miho-Kiyo duo.
I still wish I knew a little more about her, she is such a enigma to
me. So strong, always able to take control of the situation, and the
most normal out of all the girls no logs that power up, no light swords, no super genius, and no accidents that seemed to alter reality itself…. The last thought slowly drifted through Tenchi's mind as sleep finally overpowered his mental struggle and let him spend the next few hours in blissful peace.  The last thing the young man remembers is thinking about a woman who looked like a mix of everyone holding onto him.
