aeka3 Well, I have the flu. And WHOA AND BEHOLD! The flu got me over my HUGE writers block! Mwahaha!

Ryoko smiled as Aeka tried to adjust the wedding dress.
"NO Aeka. It goes THIS way."
She turned it the other way, and Aeka glared at her.
"But you can't see the flower as well that way!"
Sasami jumped in with Ryo-ohki on her shoulder, giggling.
"Oh SURE you can Aeka. It looks great!" She reached over and smoothed the sky blue dress.
"You can see it BETTER that way. OO Tenchi is gonna drool!"
Aeka blushed and ducked her head as Ryoko laughed loudly.
"Sasami and Ryoko, you really outta get dressed. The other girls are, so you go too. Now shoo!" Aeka ushered Sasami and a somewhat giddy Ryoko out of her dressing room, shaking her head. She turned and looked at herself in the mirror, smiling in delight.
The dress was such a pale blue it was almost white, and reached her ankles. She had a white rose embroidered down one side, to match her bouquet of white roses. Her veil was a light rainbow material, and for once her hair was long and even. She grinned and twirled around, the waterlike material swishing around her white slippered feet. All too soon, Sasami was bouncing back in, dressed in a dress that looked quite a bit like Aeka's, and her traditional Jurain Tiara.
"I'm ready! Like it Aeka?" Sasami flung her flower-basket out with Ryo-ohki perching on it.
"Of course I like it Sasami." Aeka smiled. "I've told you that a million times, but I like it."
Sasami grinned and ran over to the door, dragging a royal blue clad figure in. Aeka gasped; Ryoko had refused to try her dress on before this.
"It looks so nice Ryoko! It accents your hair just right!"
Ryoko smiled brightly. "You think so?"
"Definitely." Aeka said firmly. "The boys are gonna go wild." She winked and Sasami giggled. Ryoko looked down at herself and grinned, the dark blue dress with a light blue wavy stripe down the side certainly did look good on her. Washu, Kiyone, and Mihoshi, all clad in the same dark blue dress without the stripe, strode in after a while. Every minute Aeka became more agitated, and it took both Sasami and Ryoko to keep her from breaking out into hysterics at any moment.
"Aeka calm down. Aeka you look fine. Of course he means this." Where only a few of the things needed to calm her down.

***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***

Tenchi nervously played with his tie, glancing up the aisle, waiting for Aeka. Brian stood next to him, looking absolutely breath taking (For the girls _) in a black tux that matched Tenchi's.
"Do I look ok Bry?"
"You look FINE Tenchi. Now here she comes so shut up."
Tenchi stood straight up as the organ music began playing, and he fixed his eyes at the opening doors at the end of the aisle.
The breath was sucked from his lungs at the sight of her.
Aeka's father had refused to accompany her down the aisle, so she walked alone, Sasami in front spreading flowers, Ryoko and the other girls behind her.
"She… she… she is the most beautiful sight I have ever seen…" Tenchi gasped.
Bryan grinned good-naturedly.
Sasami reached the raised platform first, moving to the side. Then came Aeka, who stood awkwardly next to Tenchi. Then the other girls, Ryoko, Washu, Mihoshi, and Kiyone, Came and stood on each side.
The preacher started to recite the vows, and Tenchi was filled with immense happiness.
'I'm ACTUALLY here. I'm actually getting married to her…'
"Tenchi Masaki, do you take Aeka Jurai as your…" (Sorry, don't know word for word ^_^)
The vows and rings were exchanged.
"You may now kiss the bride."
Tenchi leaned over, and his lips met Aeka's roughly. He wrapped his arms around her back and pulled her as close as he could, in total bliss.

A loud noise snapped Aeka out of the blissful kiss sooner then she had hoped.
"AEKA! AEKA!"
Aeka looked around, totally confused at why Sasami was yelling.
"AEKA! LOOK UP!"
Aeka looked up and screamed. A huge silver bird was swooping down, talons outstretched. Tenchi leapt out of the way, but Aeka stood transfixed in fear.
"AEKA!"
Sasami leapt over and knocked her sister out of the way, her frail body being scooped up in massive claws.
"SASAMI!" Aeka screamed.
The huge bird let out a blood-boiling screech, and flapped upwards. Aeka frantically searched her waist for Silver Teardrop, but reality suddenly hit.
'I left it at home.' "I LEFT IT AT HOME!"
She leapt up and grabbed one of the bird's claws, and it shrieked, flying higher.
"AEKA! NO!" Tenchi screamed.
Brian, who was tending to the unconscious Ryoko, looked up and gasped.
"Princess Aeka! Jump!"
"MY BABY!!!!!!" Aeka's mother wailed (For the love of me, I CANNOT remember her name _)
"Aeka. That's a rather bad idea…" Shouted Mihoshi.
Aeka looked down at all the concerned people below her, and then up at her bloody little sister.
"I'll get you little sis…"
She swung her legs up, and was perching on top of the bird's huge foot. She tried to pry its iron grip off of Sasami, but it refused to budge.
"ROOOOOOW!" Ryo-ohki, who was trapped on Sasami's shoulder, cried out desperately.
The bird shook it's foot and Aeka lost her balance, hanging from it again. The bird was still hovering over the chapel.
"Sasami! I'll getcha!"
"Aeka! Drop! Do it now!" Her little sister screamed back.
"NO!"
The bird yanked its foot up once, twice, and Aeka was falling… falling… then all was black.

Sasami glared at the man.
"Lwe mw gwo!"
"Ah ah ah! Why should I let you go, pipsqueak?"
"Please master… let her go… at least take off her ropes and gag…" A young boy, around Sasami's age, said quietly.
Moui! Are you taken with the pipsqueak?!" His master asked in disbelief.
Moui blushed bright red. "No." He crossed his fingers behind his back, "I just don't think she deserves to be tied up…"
"I don't think she deserves to be either!" Piped a boy standing next to Moui, "She's cute!"
"Hiru! She's a captive!" (Hee hee get it? Hiru? Leech?)
Hiru looked at the ground. "I know…"
"She could stay in our quarters Master Gokiburi!" Moui piped again.
Gokiburi stroked his bushy mustache. "Oh alright… She can stay in your quarters."
Both Hiru's and Moui's eyes lit up.
Gokiburi yanked the gag out of Sasami's mouth.
"I demand you let me go! Now! Let me go!"
"Hmmmm… A spitfire eh?" Gokiburi asked in amusement.
"Mroooooow!
"Ryo-ohki!"
Ryo-ohki jumped onto Sasami's shoulder and mrowed.
"That's a cute little critter…" Moui stated, coming over and undoing her ropes.
"Thank you. She's a cabbit. She can turn into a ship. Her name's Ryo-ohki."
"Isn't that what the space pirate Ryoko's ship is named?"
"Yeah! This is her ship!" Sasami clapped a hand over her mouth. "Oops…"
"REALLY?!" Hiru yelled, and Sasami winced. "Oh wow!"
Gokiburi smirked. "Spitfire's probly making it up. I'm going."
He strode out the door just as Moui finished untying Sasami. She flexed her wrists.
"You alright?" Moui asked in concern.
"Yeah… thanks to you… thank you."
Moui blushed and put his face down. "Here… I'll take you to Hiru and I's quarters…."
Sasami grinned and hopped up. "Let's go!"
Moui grabbed her elbow and slapped Hiru lightly, who had a dreamy expression on his face. "A girl in our quarters…"
"Hey!" Yelled Sasami. "I'm NOT a play thing!"
"Yeah Hiru… she's a guest and a friend."
Hiru stuck his tongue out and followed them.
Soon enough, all three of them reached a flimsy wooden door. Moui kicked it open.
"Our quarters." He said, pride in his voice.
Sasami walked in and looked around. "This isn't that bad!"
"We've worked all our life to fix it up."
Sasami ran a hand over a glossy oak table, and her feet scuffed in the thick red carpet.
"Are you favored or something?"
Moui blushed. "No… we scavenged or made most of this. Asshi, the leader's wife, favors us, so she made us the carpet, a bunch of clothes, and the blankets. She's my mother…"
Sasami sat down on a bed and glanced at him. "Do you see her often…?"
Moui shook his head and sat down next to her. "No… It makes me pretty lonely too…"
"I bet. I barely ever see my mother. I live with my sister and Tenchi and Mihoshi and Kiyone and Washu and Ryoko…" Sasami choked. "I just got taken away at my sister's wedding…"
"Oh no… I'm sorry Sasami. I think they wanted your sister though. Is her name Aeka?"
'Yeah! That's her name!"
"Why would they want her…?"
"She's a princess. She's the heir to the Jurain throne. I'm a princess too."
Moui's eyes widened and he got down on one knee in front of her, taking her hand and kissing it. "I'm sorry princess Sasami!"
Sasami looked at him, amused, and pulled him back on the bed to sit next to her. "I don't like to be treated with respect. Got that? Treat me as you would a normal person."
Moui nodded nervously and glanced at Hiru, who was in his bed, snoring loudly. Sasami laughed, the sound ringing like clear bells in Moui's ears. He grinned.
"I think you need some sleep Sasami. Ryo-ohki too… oh yeah… did you say you live with RYOKO?!"
"Yeah… I do."
"That's AWESOME!"
"I guess… yeah I think I need some sleep too…" She yawned and her head lolled to one side, instantly asleep.
Moui smiled and picked her up, carrying her to the best bed and setting her down. He tucked the blankets around her chin, stroked a lock of hair out of her face, and ruffled Ryo-ohki's hair. She mrowed quietly and snuggled up to Sasami's cheek.
Moui smiled and walked over to his desk, sitting down and writing in his journal.

Hey again!
Well, a lot has been going on. To make a long story short, father went after the heir to the Jurain throne, princess Aeka, at her wedding, instead, her little sister Sasami jumped in front of Silverwing's claws, and so it took her instead. She's about my age, 15. She's very cute, she has sea green hair, pink eyes, and she's just all around cute! She's staying in our quarters, and she's asleep right now. She also lives with the space pirate Ryoko, and she has her cabbit Ryo-ohki! Well, I better go. Father will be in for inspection soon. Bye!
Moui

Moui shut the journal and tucked it into a hidden hole in the wall, sliding a somewhat old looking plant in front of it. He glanced over at Sasami, who was muttering something, and moved closer to hear.
"Tied with a rope of passion, and locked with Destiny… remember that Aeka…"
She continued repeating it, and Moui gently shook her awake.
"Are you alright?"
Her eyes looked distant and dull. "I dunno…"

Aeka sat bolt upright, sweat pouring down her face.
"We're tied with a rope of passion, and locked with destiny." She gasped. (Thanks Charles for letting me use that!)
Tenchi groggily looked up. "Aeka…?"
"Tied with a rope of passion and locked with destiny…"
"What…? Aeka!"
"Tied with a rope of passion and locked with destiny…"
"AEKA!"
She yelped and blinked. "Wha…? WHAT?!"
"Oh good! You're awake! I was so worried!" He brushed a lock of sweaty hair out of her eyes, and leaned down to kiss her soft lips. She groaned but accepted it.
He pulled away gradually. "What were you repeating…?
"Hmmm? Oh…"
"Well…?
"Tied with a rope of passion and locked with destiny."
"Where did you learn that?"
"I dunno…."
Tenchi shook his head and kissed her gently again.

Moui glanced at Sasami as she played with Ryo-ohki. For the millionth time, he wondered what the words she had been repeating meant. As he mused, a loud "Thump" Brought him back to reality. Hiru had fallen out of bed and was looking around in confusion, and Sasami was laughing uncontrollably. Moui chuckled softly.
"Hee hee- Hiru you are so funny! Hee hee!" Giggled Sasami. Moui grinned.
'She is SO cute!'
"Moui! Hiru!"
Moui looked towards the door, where the voice had come from.
"Mom?!"
"Ssssh! Quiet Moui! Your father is going to be here soon! I brought you something. I heard you had a new guest." Asshi slipped in the room and shut the door gently.
Sasami was agape at her beauty. She had to be a young woman, no older then thirty, with shiny black hair pulled back into a loose braid that reached her knees. And black eyes that glinted with controlled fun.
"Mom! What are you doing here?!" Moui hissed.
"Like I said! I brought you some things!" Asshi tossed a black bag into the middle of the floor. "Go through it. Your friend can too." Asshi smiled, revealing perfectly white straight teeth.
Sasami approached her and curtsied. "Hello Mrs. Asshi…"
Asshi laughed softly. "Sweetie, call me Asshi. And I don't deserve to be curtsied to. You must be Moui's new friend… what's your name?"
"I'm princess Sasami."
Asshi didn't even skip a beat. "Hello princess. You're a cute little thing. Moui made a good choice."
Both Sasami and Moui blushed.
"Mom! It's not like that!" Groaned Moui. 'Although I WISH it was.' He added silently.
Asshi winked. "Not YET. I wonder what will happen tonight…"
Sasami grew so red she looked like her head was a large apple.
Hiru, who had been digging in the bag, gave a small cry of delight.
"You got it Asshi! Thank you so much!"
Asshi grinned as the boy hugged a piece of cloth to his chest. "It took me a while, but yes I got it."
Sasami sat down next to Hiru. "What is it?"
Hiru held it out. "It's a piece of my mother's wedding dress."
Sasami smiled. "That IS special."
Moui grinned crookedly and plopped down next to Sasami. "Let's go through this stuff shall we? Mom said that there is some clothes for you in there, although they are like hers…"
Sasami glanced over at Asshi, who was dressed in a green tunic and leggings and shrugged. "That's fine."
Moui grinned and started to dig through the bag and lay things aside.
"Blanket, clothes, food…" He smiled gratefully at his mother, "Hmm… what's this?"
His hands pulled out a cage, which had something inside it. "MOM! Where did you get this??!!"
Asshi grinned. "I found her outside."
"Outside??!! Dad let you out of the sewers!?"
"Yep!"
Sasami glanced in the cage and squealed. "A cabbit! Ryo-ohki he got a cabbit!"
Ryo-ohki, who had been perching on her shoulder, fell down into a mound of blankets mrowing. The young cabbit in the cage mrowed back, and Sasami grinned and continued to sort through the bag. She pulled out a lime green tunic and dark blue leggings. "Here. These are my clothes…"
Moui threw another pair just like it at her, except they were black and dark green. "You need another pair silly!"
She grinned and scooped it up, standing. "I'm gonna go put these on. No peeking!"
Moui nodded as she bounded behind a curtain hung at the back of the room.
When she emerged, Hiru hooted and Moui blushed. The shirt, being a little too big for her small body, revealed quite a bit of her chest. She blushed right along with Moui.

Yes I know, lack of Aeka and Tenchi, but they will come back, trust me, they will! Ok, two things you are gonna kill me for…
1. Sabotaging the wedding. Aren't I EEEVIIL?
2. How long this took me to get out! I am sooo sorry peoples, but I kinda went on vacation and had writers block and I got kicked in my face by my horse and hadta get stitches and the list goes on and on.
