Tenchi's Heaven and Hell

It's a beautiful and sunny day. The wind is gently whafting by rustling the leaves of the forest. At Ryoko's cave Rea and Tenchi can be seen having a little talk. Thats where this story begins.

Rea was walking with confidence in her stride. She and Tenchi had just had a heart to heart talk about his mother. Most of his concerns were predictable and understandable which had made it just that much easier for her to help him. He should be fine now. Guess I'll go grab Noike from the steps...she isn't as sneaky as she thinks she is. With some amusement apparent on her face she is about to tell Noike she can talk to Tenchi when a soft and quite voice calls out.

"Rea...wait."

Slighly surprised she turned around "Yes, Tenchi?" looking back however revealed a different man than she had left behind. After the talk Tenchi was smiling and even laughing a little bit. But now he looked worried and upset which in return worried her. "What is it Tenchi?"

"Rea…its true that I was upset over my mother but…theres something else that has been nagging at me…its….just I don't.." he hung his head unable to finish what he wanted to say. This is pointless...why I am I even bothering to try?

"Come now Tenchi" she walked back up to the cave's steps and sat next to him "you can tell me anything. I promise to keep it a secret from everyone else." she said sweetly. He looked up at Rea, uncertainty riddling his face.

"Promise?"

"Promise" she said while putting a hand on his shoulder for encouragement.

"Ok…well you see I…think…I may be love with one of the girls at the house." Rea's face instantly lit up

"That's good news Tenchi! Tell me who the lucky girl is!" happily clasping her hands together

Standing up and walking a few steps away, Tenchi isn't totaly sure he can trust Rea. "You promise not to tell ANYONE?" Raising an eyebrow, showing that he didn't believe her yet

"Yes of course I do now tell me who the girl is!" she said getting a little frustrated

Once again he wasn't totally convinced. This was really important to him and he wasn't going to have her mouthing off to everyone. "You really really rea-" he was cut off with Rea getting up in his face and yelling "YES I PROMISE! NOW TELL ME WHICH GIRL IT IS!"

Little did Tenchi and Rea know that their conversation was begin listened to by none other than Washu and Lady Tokimi. "That went well" Tokimi said.

"Yes it did" responded Washu. Tokimi and Washu watched while Rea began walking away when they heard Tenchi say something. "Looks like that's not all that's on the boy's mind" Tokimi commented with some amusement. "Hehe guess not sis." Tokimi and Washu resumed their eavesdropping on Tenchi's conversation with Rea and both gasped when Tenchi said ""Ok….well you see I…think…I may be love with one of the girls at the house."

"Well well looks like Tenchi has a case of the love bug eh sister" Tokimi said while elbowing Washu. Washu however did not respond…she was too absorbed into what Tenchi and Rea were saying at this point. She had lived with Tenchi for well over 2 and half years and in that time she had grown to love him. Sure, she wasn't as vocal with her affections as Ryoko and Ayeka were but something about the idea of always annoying him with petty love squabbles irked her. She knew the fighting bothered him but begin the selfless person he was, he'd just put on a smile and say "Ryoko… Ayeka…if you keep this up your going to destroy the house." He would then chuckle and walk away, however, Washu could see through that smile.

She could see how the fighting effected him by looking into his eyes. Worry, fear, and depression radiated out of his soft brown eyes. On more than one occasion she had heard Tenchi muttering "God…what I am going to do…" after walking away from one of the many fights that Ryoko and Ayeka had on a daily basis.

She knew he was hurting. She knew that along with the daily fighting Ryoko and Ayeka put him through that he had a whole other list of concerns. One of those concerns begin learning to control this awesome power he possessed, the light hawk wings. Not only that he had to deal with begin the crowned price of Jurai and realitives that liked dropping by whenever the mood struck them. The weight of responsibility he carried around was incredible. How he managed to keep it together while living the insane asylum know as the Masaki residence was beyond human comprehension. But even though he carried all that weight…even though he had every right in the universe to be angry, to be sad, to just turn away from it all…he didn't. He took everything in perfect stride. Never ONCE did he complain about the load begin to heavy. Never once did he raise his voice in anger against someone in the house. He was just incredible to her. That silent determination that he possessed was hypnotizing.

A smile creeps on her face as she thinks about that gentle fire his eyes have. The wind blows gentle by, blowing her long, fiery red mane in the wind. Taking a step closer to the edge she continues to think about Tenchi. He was just a one in a million kinda guy. Not only did he never complain but he gave so much love to his family. He always made time to practice with his grandfather and never showed disrespect towards his father or anyone else in the house for that matter. He even converted all the vegetable fields into carrot fields for Ryo-Oh-Ki. Always giving...never taking...That's just who he is. She starts gazing at her love, her smile lined with love.

She was brought back to reality when she saw Tenchi get up and move away from Rea. She smirked as she listened and watched Tenchi trying to avoid answering just who the girl was. Classic Tenchishe thought. Tenchi continued his evasive actions until Rea got right up in his face and demand to know which girl he had fallen for. God how I wish it was me..but I know it'll end up begin Ryoko or Ayeka…love has eluded me for so long…Tenchi will be no exception.. These gloomy thoughts came over Washu to the point where she began walking away. She couldn't even bear to hear the name of which of the girls had stolen him away.

Tokimi had seen the mood change that her sister had gone through and thought O…she must be in love with that boy too.Its when Washu started to walk away with tears in her eyes that Tokimi attempted to say something but was at a loss for words when she heard what Tenchi said next.

"Washu…I'm in love with Washu Rea."

The redhaired scientist stopped dead in her tracks. Tears slowly coming to a stop. "Tenchi…Tenchi said…what?" Washu's heart was racing with emotion. "Tenchi…is…in love with me?" she said to no one in particular.
