Chapter 4 – The Awakening
After the exhausting trip to the amusement park, the girls are back on their feet after a long sleep. They now head downstairs to watch television. But they all argue on what to watch, until they agree to watch the news.
"A shattering earthquake has unveiled a mysterious ancient tomb beneath it. Last night, a earthquake measured at 4.0, struck near Tokyo, and uncovered a tomb. It is not known what was buried there. We now go to the main archaeologist, Mr.Murasaki." announced the news reporter.
"Hey, Mr.Murasaki was the guy that gave us the money yesterday, no wonder he says he has a small fortune." Sasami said.
"Hmmm… Now that I've seen him, he does look a bit old to be an archaeologist…" Ayeka pondered, "But why would he be interested in those ancient tombs?"
"Ayeka what's wrong?" Sasami asked worriedly.
"Oh nothing…" Ayeka answered.
"What's the matter princess, cat got your tongue again?" laughed Ryoko.
"What did you say, you dirty dimwit!!" Ayeka argued.
"What're you going to do about it, huh?" Ryoko snapped, shoving Ayeka.
"I'm just going to send your little space piratey butt back to jail, that's what I'll do!!" Ayeka snapped back at Ryoko.
"Oh, and just how are you going to do that?" Ryoko asked with humor in her voice.
Then suddenly, the door opens and someone steps in…
"Hi everybody, I'm back!!" Tenchi shouted, "And look what I got!!"
By now, Tenchi has withdrawn a simple yet beautiful picture of a lake and a girl surrounded by animal and two men. The girl had a beautiful face, and her feet dangled in the water, while on of the 'men' turned out to be a young boy who sat down besides her. The older man had a recognizable yet handsome face. He looked as he was in his early twenties.
"Tenchi!! That's beautiful!!" Sasami told him.
"It's so cool, where'd you get it?" Mihoshi asked him.
"I got it near Tokyo. It was near some sort of archaeological dig. I didn't know it was there before, but then somehow it caught my eye." answered Tenchi.
"Oh, in that case, I'll find a someplace to hang it up then, maybe upstairs or in the trash!!" Ryoko announced.
"Trash?" Tenchi asked.
"I was just joking, loosen up a little Tenchi!!" Ryoko shouted cheerfully.
Ryoko leaves the room and goes upstairs and they hear a hammering sound and some ouches. After awhile, she comes back down.
"All done!!" she shouted.
"Okay, good." Tenchi said.
They eat and loaf around the house all day. Then it's time for bed. They all go and get their pajamas or nightgown.
"Good night Lord Tenchi, and to everybody else but Ryoko!!" Ayeka shouted.
"That's good for you princess, good night Tenchi!!" Ryoko said.
"Good night you all…" Tenchi yawned.
With that, they all left for their rooms and went to sleep.
Meanwhile, the picture featuring the little girl and boy and the man by the lake, started to glow. A blue eerie light surrounded it. No one seemed to notice, but it kept glowing getting brighter and brighter every minute…
