Why Tenchi pt. 3
(Author's note: where you see the ____, that means the guy with the weird shirt that kind of slips over his shoulder, just can't remember his name and I'm to lazy to look it up. I no there was not anything between them, and when I saw him, I remember thinking that he and Aeka would look kawaii together. I just added it as a twist, humor the deranged author. ^_&)

It had been a long time since Ryoko, Aeka, Sasami, Tenchi, Washu, Mihoshi and Kayone had come back together to defeat Ugi. Although they didn't want them, changes had appeared, some subtle and some not so subtle. Aeka and ____ had been married for some time, Kayone was frequently called away to Lieutenant meetings, and Ryoko didn't flirt with Tenchi as much anymore. In many ways it was still the same, though. Sasami was still the best cook this side of the universe, Mihoshi was as clueless as ever, and Washu still blew up the house on occasion. "Ryoko, time for dinner." Sasami called. Smiling faintly, Ryoko snapped out of revere, flew out of the tree and went in to a not-so-quiet meal.
After dinner, Washu stopped her on the stairs. "Ryoko, can we talk?" "Sure, Washu, what do you want to talk about?" Although she knew Washu was her mother, she hadn't gotten used to calling her 'mother' yet. "Come into my lab, Ryoko, we can have some privacy there." Washu pulled out her little laptop from whichever dimension she kept it, plugged it into the closet door, and typed the entry code. "OK, now that we're alone, are you sick, Little Ryoko?" "Huh? Of course not" "No fever, stomachache?" "No, Washu." "Then, what's wrong? You go around sighing, staying out by that tree, looking up at the stars every night. You don't flirt with Tenchi anymore, and you actually get along with Aeka!" Washu looked at Ryoko with sudden understanding, seeing something in Ryoko's behavior that Ryoko herself could not, or would not, fully understand. "It's that guy, Hotsuma, isn't it. You miss him." "Well, yeah, sure I miss him," Ryoko said carefully. "H was a great pirate, and a great partner. Now, if there's nothing else, I'd like to go to bed." "Goodnight, Little Ryoko." Said Washu, smiling a knowing, motherly smile that Ryoko did not like at all.
That night, Ryoko lay on the roof, musing at how the stars were shining a beautiful light blue, like Hotsuma's eyes.
Confused, she shook that thought from her head. Lately, she had been wondering almost constantly about how Hotsuma was doing, and it had become almost habit to ask Kayone which criminals had been caught that day. She also wondered if he had gotten a new partner, and, if so, who it was. This was crazy, why should she feel even the slightest bit jealous, she belonged to Tenchi heart and soul, didn't she?

Suddenly, a space ship crashed in the yard. Ryoko's eyes widened, she knew that ship, it was Ugami! As she watched, the hatch opened and a figure stepped out of the ship. Or rather, tried to step out, but he stumbled and fell. "Hotsuma!" Ryoko cried, half in relief that he hadn't been captured, and half in worry that he had been hurt. She quickly teleported off the roof and over to the ship. She was just I time to see him, his face contorted with internal pain. "Ryoko," he said, "I'm so sorry to barge into your life again, but I had to warn you..." Unable to say more, he collapsed, still as death.
End part 3
