Aeka - The sequel - part 2

Aeka squealed in delight as Tenchi ran around piggybacking her. She beat uselessly on him. "Stop Tenchi!" she laughed. He put her down. "It sounded like you were having fun!" He said to her, smiling evilly. Aeka tried to look stern but immediately broke down into giggles. "How come I love you so much?" she laughed as he tickled her. Tenchi drew himself up, like he had an ego. "Because.... I'm me." He laughed, kissing her fingers teasingly. Her smile grew wider. Tenchi grabbed her and she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Shall we go inside Milady?" He asked, smirking. "Yes my lord!" she giggled. Halfway through the door they met Brian with a stern look on his face. Tenchi put Aeka down and blushed. "You have some explaining to do Tenchi Masaki!" Scolded Brian. "And you miss purple hair!" Aeka growled and Tenchi placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Please Lord Brian. I hate any kind of nick-name." Aeka's voice was clipped. Brian mock bowed. "Yes my princess." There was a trace of scorn in his voice. Tears sprung to Aeka's magenta eyes. Tenchi drew her to him and whispered in her ear. "I need to talk to Brian. You go help Sasami, she is trying to design your dress." Aeka lit up and skipped off to help her little sister. "Brian!" Tenchi growled. "Why are you being so sarcastic?! Aeka is VERY sensitive about her royal blood."
Brian looked up in surprise. "She is actually a princess? An honest to goodness princess?" Tenchi nodded. Brian looked momentarily stunned. "Why didn't you tell me about her?" "I did!" Retorted Tenchi. "You know! Ae-chan!" Something clicked in Brian's head. "Oh no! I'm sorry Tenchi! Can I apologize to her?" Tenchi nodded. "Just not right now. Her and her sister are busy." "Sister sister.........." Brian pondered. "Oh! Sasami-chan? The cutest kid on earth?" Tenchi nodded firmly. "I agree fully with the last part." He winked. "To think, she'll be my sister in-law..." Brian laughed. Tenchi started walking towards the living room, which was most likely where Aeka and Sasami were located. "So you're really getting married?" Brian asked with obvious doubt. "Of course! I asked Ae-chan.... a few days ago. We want you to be best man!" "Me? Dorky me?" asked Brian, raising a brow. "Oh come on! You're not dorky!" "Yes I am!" argued Brian, sweeping a hand to himself. "Just look at me! Don't I look the part of a nerd?" Tenchi stopped and studied him. Well-kept brown hair. Glasses. T-shirt and jeans. Sneakers. "No." Answered Tenchi, walking again. Brian sighed in defeat. "Think about it! I'm always either buried in a book, my computer, or blowing up things." He said this grimly, like he wasn't happy with it. Tenchi stopped again. "You can't help being a genius! I mean, look at Washu! She doesn't look like a genius! In fact, she's cute as a bug!" Washu was on Tenchi in a flash. "You really mean that Tenchi? Huh? Huh? You really mean that? 'Cause if you do, you can be my guinea pig again!" Brian and Tenchi sweat-dropped. "Erm........... Brian, could I get some help here?" Brian smiled evilly. "Yes he means it little Washu!" Tenchi gave Brian a death-look. Washu was on Brian in less then a second. "You think so too? Do you?" Washu started studying Brian's hair. "Ooooooooh! You have an abnormal hair pattern! You might not be human! I must do some tests on you!" "No you must not!" Brian squeaked. Tenchi was laughing. "Well humph!" Washu stuck her lower lip out and sulked off. "RYOKO!" she yelled loudly. "I need you in the lab!" "Yes mom..." sighed Ryoko.

*~In the lab~*

"You know that new Brian kid?" asked Washu, flitting around Ryoko. "Yes mom." Ryoko sighed again. "I want you to seduce him so I can study him." Washu said it like she was telling Ryoko to take out the trash. "No!" Yelled Ryoko. "I won't! I refuse to! I absolutely positively refuse to!" Washu sighed sadly and her clothes were instantly changed to a black dress and a black mourning veil. Ryoko ignored her small mother. "No." she said again firmly. "It's your loss...." said Washu. "He could be POWERFUL. And my test's would prove that." "NO!" screamed Ryoko. With that, she stood up and stomped off. Washu shook her head. "Ryoko..." she clucked her tongue. "Can't even realize what's in front of your face. Maybe I didn't make you as smart as I wanted. I know! I will copy some of my brain cells and then add them to yours! Ryoko the genius! The genius Washu's created daughter! I like how that sounds!" Washu flitted off to work on her 'Project'

*~In the living room~*

Aeka looked up as Tenchi and Brian walked into the room. She grabbed the pile of paper she had been scrutinizing and slipped them in a bag next to her. In fact, it was the same bag she had used to hold her stuff when she "Ran away" to Tokyo the year before. If she hadn't "Ran away" Tenchi would have never admitted his feelings, and she would have never gotten Silver Teardrop. "What's that?" asked Tenchi, coming over and rubbing her tense shoulders. Aeka smiled. "Something I don't want you to see." Tenchi lightly bumped her on the head. "You stinker..." "I know!" She grinned proudly. Brian smiled at the couple. So perfect. Not many couples could do that kind of teasing and not get mad at each other. Tenchi sat down behind Aeka and wrapped his arms around her. Sasami climbed into Aeka's lap. Brian was amazed to see how much they looked like a family. "Aeka... I'm really sorry I was so sarcastic earlier...." Mumbled Brian, barely audible. Aeka smiled warmly. "Its fine! I admit I over reacted..." "Like you always do..." Muttered Sasami. "What was that?" asked Aeka, looking down at her budding sister. "Nothing..." Sasami smiled. "Well, I better go cook dinner!" "No!" said Brian. "I can cook, I'll do it!" "Are you sure?" Sasami shifted her position but looked hopeful. "I'm sure." Replied Brian surely. "Oh goody!" Squealed Sasami. "Now I don't have to miss Sailor Moon!" Everyone in the room sweat-dropped. As if on cue, Mihoshi poked her head in. "Did you just say Sailor Moon Sasami?" Sasami nodded happily. Mihoshi yelled in delight and plopped on the couch. Not long after, Kiyone came barging in. "And just what do you think you're doing?" She yelled, grabbing Mihoshi's ear. "OW OW OW!!!" Mihoshi squealed. Kiyone let go and Mihoshi rubbed her head. "Um... watching Sailor Moon?" Kiyone fell over and her eyes went into swirlies. "I give up!" she muttered, "I really give up..." Brian had just watched that whole scene, barely suppressing his laughter, and he burst out in peels of mirth. Everyone else joined in, (Except for Mihoshi and Kiyone) "Oh! Ssshh!" Reprimanded Sasami, turning towards the TV. "Sailor moon's on." Her and Mihoshi stared at the screen with concentration. "OH!" Yelled Mihoshi, watching the beginning. "There was Venus! I love Venus!" Kiyone sweat dropped and her eyes swirled faster. Aeka smiled and exited the room. Tenchi cocked his head curiously and followed. Brian had already left to make dinner. Aeka slipped quietly into her room and flipped on her music. Instantly, N*Sync came blasting out. She cringed and turned down the volume, glancing around. "Hmmmm……" She pulled the pile of papers out of her bag again. Her legs folded underneath her and she snatched out a pencil that was wedged behind her ear. Almost instantly, Tenchi had hugged her from behind. She twisted and looked at him. "What are you doing in here?" she asked suspiciously, trying to hide the paper. Tenchi grabbed it. "I came to visit you, and get a look at this." He waved the wad of paper over his head and laughed. "Can't get it from me can we?" Aeka growled and leapt on him, knocking him to the ground and wrestling down his arm. "Gotcha!" She squealed triumphantly, yanking the paper out of his tight clutches. Tenchi smiled wryly. "That you did my princess." She laughed and kissed the tip of his nose, then, realizing the position she was in, scrambled up. "I'm sorry Tenchi…" She apologized. Tenchi placed a finger on her lips. "It's fine angel." Aeka smiled brightly at him. The light coming from the window behind her, silhouetting her head certainly did make her look like an angel. Her hair seemed to shine. Tenchi gasped inwardly. "Wow…" He breathed, agape at her never-ending beauty. "Do you know how much I love you Aeka?" "How much?" she giggled, pulling herself to his chest. "More then I can say, my angel." Aeka looked up into his handsome face and her heart beat wildly. She had been kissed by him uncountable times, but every time felt like the first time. She shut her eyes and his lips were on hers. It felt like a fire had gone out and Tenchi was the match to re-light it. Aeka was screaming inwardly. She loved Tenchi so much… It was unexplainable. Her hands danced wildly over his sturdy back. A perfect song played on the radio just then:
"Something shot right through me, the moment your lips touched mine… I got a funny feeling, my heart skipped a beat in time…"
She pulled away only for air, but she felt drained. Like she had just poured her whole soul into that one kiss. Tenchi must of felt the same way, because he flopped down onto Sasami's bed. "You ok angel?" He asked, noting she was panting. "I'm fine Tenchi…." Brian poked his head in the door just then. "Hey lovebirds, dinner is ready." Aeka blushed bright crimson and suddenly became fascinated with her fingers. Tenchi laughed and pulled her up. "Come on! Food!" Aeka smiled softly and walked with him to the kitchen. She absent-mindedly pulled Ryo-ohki down from the carrot basket and proceeded to the table. She sat down and glanced suspiciously at Ryoko, for some reason she was wearing one of her more modest dresses. Washu was glaring at her, and busily tapping away on her computer. Aeka sighed exasperatedly. Yet another of their mother daughter feuds. About halfway through dinner, Washu SEEMED to be starting a casual conversation with Brian. Ryoko blew up. "MOM! LEAVE HIM ALONE! NOW! I'M TIRED OF ALL YOUR EXPERIMENTS! I MEAN, NOW, YOU WANT TO ADD YOUR BRAIN CELLS TO MINE! I DON'T WANNA BE LIKE YOU! I WANNA BE MY OWN PERSON!!!!" Ryoko sat down with all eyes on her. Aeka's mouth was hanging. Tenchi quickly pushed it shut. Brian studied Ryoko's face and she blushed pink. "Little Washu?" Tenchi asked uncertainly, still holding Aeka's mouth closed. "Why do you want to add your brain cell's to Ryoko?" Washu huffed out. "It's so obvious! I told her to do something earlier, she refused, I mean, she can't even see what's in front of her!" "What did you ask her to do?" Aeka had finally found her voice, and was looking at Ryoko with a tinge of Sympathy. "Well, I asked her to seduce Brian of course!" Ryoko blushed so bright you could feel the heat radiating off of her, and Brian fell over and his eyes went into swirlies. "And… and why did you ask Ryoko to seduce Brian?" That was Aeka again. "Because she needs a man, and I wanna do experiments on him!" Aeka sighed. "What if she wasn't interested in him? What if he doesn't want experiments done on him?" Brian shook his head quickly. "I do not need experiments done on me!" Sasami had scooted a bit closer to Aeka, the young teen warily watching the drama unfold in front of her. Aeka draped an arm around her sister's slender shoulders. Washu pondered. "I didn't think of that…" Everyone sweat dropped. Ryoko abruptly stood up and stormed out of the room, a pink tinge still highlighting her cheeks. Brian sighed and went back to eating. Tenchi and Aeka followed Ryoko. Sasami looked a bit awkward, so she ran to the kitchen to pull Ryo-ohki down from the carrots again. Washu sat typing away on her keyboard happily. Kiyone and Mihoshi were eating politely, (At least Kiyone was ^_-) Mihoshi had rice flying out of her mouth and you could barely see her chopsticks. Kiyone ignored her manners.

~*Aeka and Tenchi*~

"Ryoko!" Called Tenchi, coming up to her room. Ryoko grunted, so Tenchi gingerly pulled open the door. "Can we come in?" Another grunt. Tenchi and Aeka entered. Ryoko was sitting on the bed, her eyes red and puffy. Aeka took a deep breath and sat down next to her. "Are you ok Ryoko?" Then Ryoko did something that stunned everyone in that room senseless: She laid her head on Aeka's shoulder and wept. Aeka awkwardly patted the pirate's back. "How come my life is not going how I want it to?" She wailed. Aeka and Tenchi both had guilty looks on their faces. Ryoko looked up and immediately deciphered the looks. "No! No! It's not your fault! I never… I never…. really loved you Tenchi… I just thought I did, I… I want to be with someone… I want to be loved… how you two are by each other." Tenchi sat down on the other side of Ryoko and hugged her. Aeka quickly wiped away a tear that had sprung to her eye. "We'll help Ryoko…" she said, giving Ryoko the slightest squeeze. "Truce?" Ryoko looked at Aeka's outstretched hand. "Truce…" They shook hands and Tenchi beamed. "Would… would you like to be Maid of Honor in the wedding for me Ryoko?" Aeka popped the question very quickly. Ryoko blinked a few times and then a smile lit up her face. "For sure!" Aeka grinned and got up. "Well, I better be going. Sasami and I have a sister date." She winked at Ryoko and she winked back. Tenchi looked very confused. "Would you like to help Ryoko?" "Sure thing!" Ryoko jumped up and they both tore out the door. Tenchi scratched his head. "Girls… I'll never understand them…" He sighed and wandered to Brian's room.

~*In Sasami's and Aeka's room*~

"Oh Sasami! We're here!" Squealed Aeka, sliding in on her socks. "We?" Questioned Sasami, looking about suspiciously. "Me!" Ryoko strode into the room. "Aeka said I could help!" Sasami giggled and glanced out of the corner of her eye. 'Maybe they are finally friends…' Aeka plopped down next to her sister. "Whatcha doing?" "I'm trying to design your bouquet…" Aeka rolled her eyes. "We've been through this! Here, look…" Aeka leaned over her little sister and started to scribble n the paper. Ryoko glanced curiously and was instantly caught into helping them.
