JDHGamer: I'm definitely going to include a final thoughts chapter when I'm
through with this thing, I might start working on it ahead of time, but
it'll only be finished when the story is finished. Likely it will layout
the story chapter by chapter giving a commentary on why I did what. Thanks
to KiReI AyUmI for the review, I really tried to make sure that Ryoko's
character would end up (more or less) resolved. I will talk more on that
subject in the final thoughts section. Now, once again, we proceed onwards
to the story.
Chapter 8
Everyone was glad to see Tenchi back, and they were even glad to see that Sakuya was safe as well, if only because of everything they had to go through to help Tenchi save her. Mayuka was the most happy of the bunch. "Didn't I promise you I'd come back?" Tenchi said. "You always keep your promises, daddy." Mayuka replied. "Of course he does." Washu said, stepping in the room, "Just as surely as all of my devices work." "They don't always work." "Well, I get them working eventually, don't I? They just take a little trial and error sometimes." "Right." "At least she didn't have any of that 'trial and error' this time." Ryoko said. "Maybe we should start thinking about how we are going to accommodate Sakuya." Ayeka said. "Well, there's my room." "Oh, no you don't." Ryoko said, "She may be your one true love or whatever, but as long as you guys aren't married, you're going to sleep separately." "It's not like we'd do anything that only married couples do." Tenchi said, "Or, rather, what should be limited to only married couples doing." "Well, as a safety precaution you two should be in separate places, at least until you're engaged." "Speaking of which, I have to go to the mall sometime." "For what?" "Isn't it obvious?" Ayeka said. "Oh, I shouldn't have even brought it up in the first place." "Oh come on, they're great together." Sasami said. "I know that, it's just.this is all so sudden." Ryoko said, one of those looks coming on her face. They all laughed.
Later on, everything was arranged. Tenchi would sleep on the couch and Sakuya would be in Tenchi's room until an engagement was official, at which a time Ryoko suggested that Washu install security cameras in there. Tenchi, of course, was against this, and Washu wouldn't do it unless Tenchi agreed to it. So that wouldn't happen. A few days later, Tenchi got back from the mall. He had a bag with the name of a jewelry store on it, he was heading up to his room, where Sakuya was just hanging out (they could be in there together during the day, of course). He opened the door, Sayuka saw him and smiled. "Hey, Tenchi." She said. "Hey, Sakuya. I just got back from the mall." "I can only guess what you have in that bag from Shinji Jewelers." Sakuya said, "But if I'm guessing right, the answer is 'yes'." "I haven't even asked the question yet, would you at least give me a chance to do that?" "Well, just let me get something first." "What?" "Well, I went to the mall too, I went in a bit after you left." "How did you get back so quickly?" "Washu gave me a porta-portal." "How convenient." "She needed someone to test it, anyway." "Thank God it worked and didn't do something really bad to you." "I have faith in her technology, since that's what saved me." "Okay, well go get the ri-err.whatever it is you got." She dug around the dresser, and finally pulled out her own bag. "Here it is." "So, which one of us is going to ask?" "Well, I already answered your unasked question." "But do you really know I was going to ask you to marry me or was it some other question you thought I'd ask?" "Well, are we getting married or what?" "I think we totally screwed this tradition up." "Well, if we want to go by tradition, just ask." Tenchi dug the case out of the bag, opened it, knelled, and asked, "Sakuya, will you marry me?" "Yes, I will." Sakuya then got up and told Tenchi to stand up and she knelled before him. She opened her case. "And Tenchi, will you marry me?" "Of course I will." Tenchi said, "I thought only one of us had to ask." "I thought it would be neat if we asked eachother." "Well, it caused enough confusion, I think." "Let's just go and announce it." "Sure, let's go."
To be continued.
JDHGamer: Well, there you have it; next chapter is some events leading up to the wedding. The wedding will come in the chapter after that, and I believe that will wrap things up, that is, until I continue the story of a series of stories set in my universe called "Tenchi Americana!" The next chapter will explain why it's called that. ;) Cya!
