Kiyone + Mihoshi = America = very bad……poor Tenchi.
SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1Tenchi woke up the next day to hear something he'd never thought he'd hear again; laughter, but from the voice of the dead. Resting his upper body on his elbows he pulled himself up a little, to find Ryoko laughing at him. Smiling she walked up to him from her position in the air, Tenchi thought she looked like some type of goddess, walking on air like that. The sky was blue with pink clouds, showing that the morning was just getting up from the moons' dominance.
"Good morning my Tenchi." she whispered into his ear, her body floating above him as her head leaned down to greet him.
Smiling, he closed his eyes at the sound, her voice so foreign to his ears after all this time. Falling back, he felt the air rush past him as the darkness of his eyes consumed his sight. Opening his eyes again he found himself somewhere else, from the floor everything looked like it was falling away from him. Sitting up Tenchi frowned and got up, walking around the field to see nothing but dirt and rocks.
Tenchi walked past the field into the arena, lined up on both sides were statues. Large carved masterpieces of everyone he'd ever known and some he didn't.
On one side were statues of monsters, demons, animals; the other side had people. Yosho as a young prince, in Jurian battle gear, Ayeka, Sasami, Mihoshi, himself, the very last statue had Ryoko on it, well Tenchi understood it to be, because all that was left was the name of her on the bottom, the statue itself was gone. These large, building size statues and this one had been smashed into pieces.
Tenchi looked at the name as the ground shook, the statues coming to life, the people fighting the monsters. Tenchi screamed as a giant foot almost squashed him, diving he ran right into the claw of a monster. Seeing the sharp nail he tried to dodge, his back bleeding as he ran as far away as possible when something happened. It started to rain, the drops cascading like a waterfall, down onto all the warriors on the battlefield. Silently they all returned to their original positions on the stands. Only one statue remained, Ayeka; she smiled sadly as.........
"Aaaaaahhhhhh..." Tenchi sat up, eyes wide from fear. Looking around his heart pounded as he tried to make sense of what was going on. Shaking he ran a hand through his long hair and breathed deeply a few times. After Realizing that it was only a nightmare, he lay back down as he looked at the stars. What did that mean? He asked himself. Why do I have to analyze everything? He thought.
"Everyone has nightmares sometimes." he told himself as he started climbing back down to get into bed. Under the covers Tenchi forgot it as he drifted off to sleep, or tried. This is ....boring he thought as he rolled over again. Damn, I can't sleep at all tonight, he mused as he kicked off the covers.
The darkness in the room had started dimming with the new day. Tenchi stopped moving for a second and just breathed, smiling. This is the first time in three years I'm bored with nothing to do, with no council meetings, no publicity, no throne, no nothing....he thought as he looked at the space above his bed.
First things first, he told himself, visit Sasami, and Mihoshi and Kiyone, and then maybe I'll travel around or take a vacation; and tell Ayeka, he thought as he rose from his bed and wandered around his room. Ayeka will be.....not pleased, but it will only be when she's gone on those meetings. I'll tell her when I get back, he decided as he got changed. Washu was making breakfast as he set the table, chatting with her was Yosho. He was cutting some fruit, smiling she brought in the food when it was done. Noboyuki had left for the office before so it was just the three.
"Washu, where is Mihoshi and Kiyone now?" he asked as he ate the noodles.
"Why, here of course!"
"Here?" he asked,
"On earth, yes they are here. They've been stationed down here since Yosho came back from the dead. Afraid that a race might not be pleased with Yosho's past, they are supposed to be our bodyguards but after a little bit of talking and my fake reports; they are on an extended vacation." she told him.
"So what are they doing now?" he asked.
"Not much, they bounty hunt sometimes here on earth, and travel a bit but they usually just hang
Around here or with Sasami." she explained as she cleared her plate.
"Take your dish to the kitchen when your done I have work to do." she told him before slamming her door.
"She hasn't changed much." he commented.
"In some areas no but in others....." Yosho continued.
"Yeah, I know what you mean." he said as he washed his dish.
"Hey grandpa. I think I'm going to go see Sasami, you wouldn't mind if I left here a bit early?"
"Yes, that would be best. She hasn't seen you seen the wedding and I think that the trip would do you good." he told Tenchi before disappearing outside. Great, as much as things change.....they still feel the same, he thought as he walked back to his room.
Tokyo was still as big and vast as ever, if not more crowded. Tenchi prayed to whatever gods controlled the trains to let him get into the streets without losing a limb. Taking a bus he went down into the university housing districts. Sasami was attending school at one the university here and so she got a room from housing. Crossing the sidewalk he walked up to the apartment building that she was staying at. Knocking on the door he waited for the pink haired chef to open it for him, balancing his duffle bag on one shoulder he smiled as she opened it.
"Tenchi!!" she cried happily as she hugged him, Tenchi staggered back trying to maintain balance. Before they fell off the railing behind him she pulled him the opposite way, smiling and talking a mile a minute about school and cooking and Tenchi only caught a few words before giving up.
"So what brings you here?"
"I got some time off and wanted to see how you were."
"Ayeka let you go huh?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah I bet, I remember I was needed for a meeting a few years ago, and all you did was agree with what she told you to agree with. At one point you fell asleep and I had to shake you." she said as she laughed at the memory. Tenchi smiled sheepishly and when she left to get something from the kitchen he took the time to notice, her apartment and that she had grown, she was taller now and resembling tsunami more and more.
"Hey, Tenchi so how is everything?" she asked when she came back with some soda for the two of them. Tenchi told her everything that was going on with Juria and how he told Ayeka that she should go to the meetings as a sign of strength on her part and on what he thought on that and then he told her about coming to earth.
"Say, Sasami? Have you seen Kiyone or Mihoshi around I wanted to say hi to them." He told her. She grew silent for a while, her face taking on a worried look as she stood up.
"I. I don't know" she told him as she walked back to the kitchen. Tenchi frowned, not knowing what to do; he missed his family more than ever now that they were gone. Mihoshi and Kiyone were a part of that family, he thought as he watched Sasami wash the glasses.
"What do you mean Sasami?" he asked not sure how to respond.
"They left Tokyo last year and went to America" she told him as she gave him a postcard that she got from them, the only one she got in fact. It was a picture of the Seattle Mariners' stadium. Tenchi frowned as he studied the postcard, not knowing the place. It was a addressed to Sasami a long time ago.
"I'm scared something happened to them Tenchi." She told him sadly. Tenchi was sad, this had made him sadder, here was Sasami, a sister to him and she was on the brink of tears because two other family members were missing, over a year.
"I'll go look for them Sasami. I can get Washu to arrange it and……have you told Washu?" he asked suddenly. Sasami nodded her head.
"I told her and she told me that she couldn't track them. None of her machines can track them. She can track anyone anywhere on earth and in the universe except on America. She doesn't know why but she's trying to figure it out." She explained to Tenchi. Sighing Tenchi decided he would go look for them.
"I'm going back to Okinawa now. I need to talk to Washu; I'm going to go looking for them." He told her before they bid each other farewell.
