HellO Hello! Thank you muchly to those who reveiwed. Means so much! =D Encourges too! So here's the next part. I'm anxious to get going with this. This part of the series.. I want so badly to write about them when they're older. Oh, did I mention that I don't write very well? My first love is art, which I have done a lil fanart for this part of the story but most of it is for later parts. I'll post some sample with the next chapter which I hope to get out tomorrow or maybe monday.. =) We'll see, soon though. But here's what I've done so far.. =) It almost like a foreshadowing... It's not my best tho... =(

Today Tomorrow Sometime Never:
Small Friendship
By The MadHatter Beliel
They had been walking through the forest for what seemed like hours.
Tenchi eyed her suspiciously. She had asked him questions about himself and where he lived but each time he would ask her something about herself she would get quiet and change the subject.
He liked her. She was nice and friendly and had an air of confidence and superiority around her but something was wrong. She seemed out of place. Her clothes were something he had never seen before and the ornament on her head was completely foreign to him.
Tenchi shrugged it off and smiled at her.
The small princess continued to look around her surroundings in awe. She loved the trees on earth, they reminded her so much of home. 'I wonder if Yosho is actually here. . .' She thought.
"So, Ayeka," Tenchi said bringing Ayeka back from her thoughts. "How come you haven't told me where you're from and how you got here?" He stopped walking at turned to face her.
Ayeka smiled nervously. "Errr... I can't tell you," she said quietly.
The young boy stared at the girl before him. "Why not?"
Ayeka smiled sweetly then continued forward. "It's a secret," she said.
Tenchi frowned, something was wrong with this strange girl. He looked up and saw that it was getting dark. "Wow, we've been here for hours!" He laughed. "We better get going. So, where do you live? I'll walk you home."
Ayeka tuned to the boy. "Mmm..." she thought for a moment. "I... I.. don't have one..." she whispered.
Tenchi starred wide-eyed at the girl. "You don't have a home?"
Ayeka nodded. She felt guilty for not telling him the truth, but she had to conceal her identity for fear of being in danger. She then thought for a moment, 'I have no reason to not trust him. Maybe I'll tell him... later... maybe.."
Tenchi walked up to her. "Then you can come home with me, I don't think dad and grandfather would mind." He smiled at her then took her arm. "Follow me," he said as he guided her to a dirt path that led to his home.
The king of Jurai growled as he sat on his throne, his two wives beside him. "She has been missing for two days!? Have you checked the gardens? The servants' quarters?!" He shouted.
The two guards before him bowed their head in shame and fear of the intimidating king. "Your Majesty, we have found that.. *gulp*" The guard shivered. "The princess' ship is missing as well..."
"WHAT!?" He screamed as he stood from his chair. "Two days..." He said, dangerously calm. "Two days... She has been missing and you now find that RYU-OH IS MISSING?!"
The guards shrunk even more sure that their death was soon to come.
The king then sat back down in pensive thought. He closed his eyes and sighed. "Send out search parties to retrieve my daughter." He then opened his eyes and stood up again. "I want her found! NOW GO!"
Funaho and Misaki shuddered at the sound of their husband's harsh commands. They just hoped that their daughter was safe.
"So, what is with that thing on you head?" Tenchi asked.
Ayeka looked up at him then reached to touch her tiara. "It's a family heirloom," she answered then smiled at him. 'Well, it's not really lying,' she thought.
Tenchi arched an eyebrow. "Weird thing," he said smiling causing the princess to giggle.
They continued on their way to Tenchi's house just as the sun was setting.
"I'm home!" A boy's voice shouted as the sound of a door slamming followed.
Nubuyuki turned towards his son. "Hey there Tenchi! Where have you been? Your grandfather and I have been worried." He got up from his seat blocking Tenchi's view to the living room.
"Hey dad!"
His father blinked in confusion. "Who's this?" He asked looking at the girl next to him.
Tenchi smiled and brought Ayeka forward. "This is Ayeka, I met her when grandfather sent me into the forest to practice."
Ayeka stepped forward and bowed. Her burgundy eyes focused on the older man and smiled. "It is very nice to meet you, Sir."
Nubyuki smiled and bowed. "Likewise!" He laughed. "Well, I guess our young Tenchi is becoming quite a ladies' man!"
Ayeka stared back in confusion.
"DAD!" Tenchi yelled causing his father to laugh even harder.
"Nubyuki, that's quite enough," a voice intervened.
"Grandfather!" Tenchi exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
The elder man stood next to his father eyeing the small princess, a hint of shock in his brown eyes. "Ayeka...?" He whispered, almost inaudibly.
Ayeka turned to face the elder man. Her young eyes widened in shock. "Brother..? YOSHO!?"

well how was that? I tend to literally sketch out a drawing of what I want to happen next...
Let me know what you think! ^_~
