"Tenchi Misaki, you are the heir to the throne of Jurai. Do you accept all responsibilities and privillages that come with being the emporer of this kingdom?" Tenchi fiddled with the sash of his royal robes. Geez, this thing is really unfomcfortable! "Lord Tenchi...?" the herald said. The rest of the court shifted nervously, the same thought running through their minds; This boy is supposed to be the ruler of the most powerful kingdom in the universe? Tenchi looked up into the heralds eyes, seeming searching for an answer.
"Um sir, how often will I be able to return to Earth?" The herald was takin aback. Before him stood the soon to be emporer, and he was getting treated like royalty.
"Well, Lord Tenchi, your duties to Jurai must come first. You will only be able to visit Earth on vacation like times." Tenchi's face fell. The herald smiled apologetcally. Tenchi cast a glance over the heralds shoulder. Ayeka stood there in full royal regal, tears falling from her light eyes. A smile spread over her face. The one person she cared for the most was about to stay with her forever, the smile grew the tears fell even faster. Tenchi almost couldn't stand to think about leaving Earth for so long, but Ayekas eyes seemed to be centered completely around him, as if he was the center of her world. My sweet Ayeka... I never thought the others would give up so easily, but I guess I could take over the responsiblity of being emporer if it means I can stay close to her... Tenchi forced his eyes from her to look over his shoulder. Washu, Sasami, Kiyone and Mioshi stood there, smiling happily. Kiyone and Mioshi had been accepted back into the Galaxy Police with honors. Washu had become head instructor of the scince acadamy after being thrown off the high council. Sasami and Washu wore royal Jurain clothing each smiled with hopes for the future this day would hold for all. The only one missing was Ryoko. No one had seen or heard from her since she had dropped him, Azaki and Kamidake off to fight off Kagato. Flashes of Ryoko hit his mind. Forcing his mind from the images of Ryoko, Tenchi turned back to the herald.
"I ac-" Tenchi was cut off abrutly as the door to the throne room slamed open. A familiar figure walked throught the court, something snug in her hands. Nagi kept her head down as she walked through the court people, avoding their stares and whispers. Ken-oki sat on her shoulder, ears drooped in defeat. The small bundle could be indentified now as a furry creature.
"Ryo-ohki!" Sasami said. Without a moments hesistation she ran up to Nagi. "Oh what happened to Ryo-ohki, Nagi?"
"I found her...and...and Ryoko crashed on a deserted planet..." Tenchi and the others had since also ran up to Nagi. But for some reason, Nagi refused to make eye contact with anyone.
"So you know where Ryoko is?" Kiyone said, a slight tone of relief in her voice. "Where is she?" The other looked over Nagi's shoulder, expecting to see Ryoko.
"Ryoko is techincally in the doking bay with the Galaxy Police but shs not....." Nagi cut off abrublty, closing her eyes shut.
"But what Nagi? Are they taking her into custody?" Ayeka asked almost cheerfully. 'With Ryoko behind bars, Tenchi and I can live happily ever after!
"No, shes not in custody, shes..." But Tenchi didn't hear he, he was already on his way to the docking bay.
"Lord Tenchi! Wait for me!" Ayeka called out. Then she began to follow Tenchi. Mioshi, Sasami and Washu quickly took off after them. Kiyone was about to leave when she looked at Nagi's hurt experssion.
"Nagi, what did you not tell us? You said she was in custody so-"
"I never said that! Ryoko is dead damnit! She went off and expended all her energy!" Kiyone gasped. Ryoko...dead...no...not possible... She looked at Nagi pleadingly. But slow, crystal tears were making their way slowly down her cheeks.
"You... you're not kidding..." Kiyone took a step back, her hand went to her mouth. "Oh my god! I... I....!" Nagi grabbed Kiyone's hand.
"We have to stop them! They can't get down there until we tell them the whole story! Azake, Kamidake! Please show us the quickest way to the docking bay!"
"Yes Lady Nagi!" Azake said. Quickly the four ran down another corridor. I hope we get there before they do! Nagi thought frantically.
* * *
"Lord Tenchi!! Please slow down!" Ayeka yelled. Her royal clothing was making it difficult to move quickly. *bam* Ayeka crashed to the ground. "Oww..."
"Oh dear! I'll never catch up with Tenchi now!" A familiar voice wailed. Ayeka turned her head to see none other then MIoshi, who was the one who ran into her.
"Mioshi get ooof!" Two more bodies fell to the ground. Sasami and Washu now lay crashed besides Ayeka.
"What are you two doing laying in the middle of the hall?" Sasami asked.
"Oh no! Now I'll never catch up with Tenchi!" Mioshi wailed again. Oh que she began bawling in the top of her lungs.
"Geroff me Mioshi!" Ayeka yelled. Ayeka tried to get up at the same exact moment as everyone else, resulting in a tangled mess of limbs and curses.
A door slid open. Azake, Kamidake, Nagi and Kiyone ran out into the hallway.
"Kiyone!!!" Mioshi said. She jumped up smiling, all sign of tears gone. Latching herself on to Kiyone's arm, she smiled happily.
"You guys really need to listen to us!" Kiyone said, clearly distressed.
"Whats wrong Kiyone? You should be happy! Ryoko's back! We sh-"
"Ryoko is dead," Nagi said flatly, tears were creeping up to her eyes again. Damnit I will not cry! Shes not my friend! Shes my enemy! I should be happy!
"But you said she wa-" Sasami began.
"I'm afraid young princess that Space Pirate Ryoko died expending all her energy," Kamidake said sadly.
"Oh no..." Washu whispered. "No!! Its not possible! I did not make her weak enough so that she'd die from something so, so, so weak!!!" Everyone did a double take.
"Washu...you created Ryoko?!" Ayeka said.
"Well yes...I didn't want to mention it, Ryoko herself doesn't know." Washu looked down at her hands...
"Tenchi Misaki, you are the heir to the throne of Jurai. Do you accept all responsibilities and privillages that come with being the emporer of this kingdom?"
