Here is CH 4

Kuro got out of the huge pool in the flying bath house to dry himself
off. Washu had suggested that he should take a bath after his near death
experience. Sasami had left him a outfit that she had to borrow from Tenchi.
His Jurian robes needed to be washed due to...... lets say hygene problems.
After putting on the boxers, slacks, socks, old tennis shoes, and the white
undershirt he looked at himself in the mirror.

"I'll never understand Earth fasion" said Kuro as he looked himself
over. After gathering his swords he began his walk back to the Masaki home.
On his way he thought of what his next move should be. He told Aeka that he
was going to take her back to Jurai, but when the chips were down he couldn't
do it. His heart had won that battle, but the war of heart and mind was not
over yet. As he pondered his options he decided that before anything could be
done he should discover what ship collied with Ryo-oki. He remeber the events
from before, and how small the ship he saw was. It would only hold 2 people
at most.

Before he could think any more a scream was heard from the masaki home.
Kuro quickly jumped into action and burst in the door. "No please, don't! Please
don't. I'll do anything just don't do it!" screamed a voice from the room
upstairs. Kuro ran up the stairs as he pulled his weapons. When he entered
the room he found Sasami hold some type of bottle as Tenchi and Aeka attempted
to hold down a screaming Mihoshi.

"What on Jurai is going on here!" said a confused Kuro

"Oh Kuro, good we need someone else to help hold down Mihoshi" said
Sasami

"What???" said Kuro

"Well, Mihoshi got some bad cuts and scrapes in the crash and Washu
is to busy to heal them. So we have to put some Iodine on them." explained
Sasami.

"No, NO! NO!" screamed Mihoshi as she wiggled free of Tenchi and Aeka
"it stings!!!!!" she said. She then attempted to get past Kuro in the doorway
but failed. Kuro grabbed her from behind and she was about to get free when
Tenchi and Aeka helped tackle her to the ground. Sasami quickly joined them
and began to apply the iodine to the cuts on her leg and arms. All the while
Mihoshi would continue to repeat over and over again with "PLEASE DON'T!"

"All done" said Sasami

"What........" said Mihoshi "Wow that didn't hurt at all, thanks!"
she said with a smile as she got loose from the group. Everyone proceded to
get up and when they Mihoshi skiping down the stairs saying she was going to
watch television the group collapsed in disbelif.

After getting up.....again. Tenchi and gang went to raid the fridge.
Kuro got another Ham and Cheese sandwitch and he relized that he had not seen
Ryoko yet. "Hey Tenchi where is Ryoko, and Ryo-oki for that matter" asked
Kuro

"That is what Washu is so busy with." responded Tenchi

"Washu said that she could heal them both. Not surprising considering
she made them" said Aeka

"Well lets go see how they are doing" said Kuro

Tenchi then got a nervous look on his face and said "Well to tell the
truth.......I......really don't like going there"

"Why not?" asked Kuro

"Its..........complicated" said Tenchi

"Come on," said Kuro as grabbed Tenchi "what could be so weird that
you can't head in there to see it." he said as he went through the door.

Kuro then found himself and Tenchi in a erie lab like setting and
before he could say anything he found Washu staring them in the face. "Tenchi
what are you doing here." she said "oooo have come to help me with my science
experiments."

"No he has not" yelled Aeka as she appeared at Tenchi's side. "Kuro
you must never bring Tenchi down here.......ever"

"What?" said Kuro in more confusion

"Um..little Washu we were wondering what happened to Ryoko and Ryo-oki."
said Tenchi

"Oh, well in that case follow me" said Washu.

Washu brought them to a room with two fish bowl like tanks. Inside one
was Ryo-oki in cabbit form. In the other there was a completely buck naked
Ryoko. Tenchi turned around in embarssment, but Kuro looked on with a goofy
expression on his face. He then was slapped in the back of the head by Aeka.

"Hey what was that for," complained Kuro

"You are Jurian royalty, act like it!" said Aeka

"They are almost healed" said Washu "In the meantime let me show you this"
she said

Then on the screan above them, a space craft was shown. It was
open.

"So you saw it to" said Kuro "What came out of it"

"This" Washu said as she showed the group a still image of a large
humanoid creature with long ears and skin color very simalar to Mihoshi.

"Wow, how many cameras do you have around here Washu" said Kuro

"Plenty" said Washu with a seductive tone in her voice as she looked
at Kuro with a sexy face.

Kuro then had a metal image of the bath house. He suddenly understood
why Tenchi was so nervous. He almost said something about it, but he decided
that the questions he had were best left unanswered.

"Who is that?" asked Aeka

"I wasn't sure untill I......borrowed Mihoshi's Galaxy Police Data
Base." said Washu "Then I learned his name was Sandao. You may recognize his
trade name. He is also known as Viper."

"Never heard of him." said Tenchi

"Me neither" said Aeka

"Ditto" said Kuro

Washu then got an annoied look on her face and she said "Well then let
me enlighten you. Viper is a galaxy renowned bounty hunter. He is one of the
best in his bussniess."

"So he must be here after her" said Aeka looking at Ryoko

"Wrong!" said Washu in her best proffesor voice

"What do you mean wrong. She is a space pirate" said an angry Aeka

"Aeka she is right. Think about it, the bounty ran out when her statue
of limitations did." said Kruo

Aeka thought for a second. "Then who is he after?" she asked

"I am a scientist not a psychic. I can only tell you this. Viper has
been known to hunt down innocents." said Washu

"What do you mean innocents?" said Tenchi

"On occassion, Viper will kidnap innocent people if the price is right."
said Washu

"So he could be here after anyone. Where is he now?" said Kuro

"I am not sure. He used a sheild when he left his craft so I have no
way of tracking him. He could be anywhere." said Washu

At that moment a loud crash was heard from the house. "That would
be him now." said Tenchi

"How do you know?" said Kuro

Then Washu, Tenchi, and Aeka all looked at him and said at once "In
this house its a normal everyday thing" they all said.

"o.k....." said a confused Kuro and then all 4 dashed to the house.

Upon arriving they found the man they saw before. The one called viper
stood about 6'1 and was extremly muscular. He had tons of weapons and looked
like a walking warzone.

"You called it," said Kuro

"Oh look a welcoming commity" said Viper

At that moment Tenchi and Kuro pulled their swords and prepaired to fight.

"Your not getting Aeka" said Kuro

"Who said I wanted her" said Viper

At that moment Sasami ran in the room. She was quickly scooped up in
a net and thrown over her sholder. Kuro then relized he messed up and began
an all out assult on Viper. Viper seemed to have some sort of sheilding on
his arms witch allowed him to block his swords, but none the less Kuro was
keeping him busy. Tenchi soon followed attemting to get Sasami free, but to
no evial. Instead he began to help Kuro with the attack.

Viper was really busy now. Blocking Kuro was tough enough now he had
Tenchi to worry about. He knew he had to get out fast. He then heard a voice.

"Viper this is pretty low even for you. You never kidnapped children."
said Washu

"Hey lady, with the money Tokime is giving me I would kidnap anyone."
said Viper as he fought the pair.

Washu suddenly jumped as she heard the name Tokime. She then relized
why he was taking Sasami. "Tsunami" whispered Washu.

Then at that moment Viper tossed a small sphere to the ground. He then
closed his eyes as an incredible flash blinded Tenchi and Kuro. When their
eyes were clear again they saw he was gone.

"Sasami!" yelled Aeka

"We'll get her back Aeka" said Kuro "Tenchi get everyone in here."

After a couple of minutes everyone had gathered. Kuro then said "Alright
Mishoshi I want you and my ship Eano in orbit icase Viper gets off the Earth
I will be your job to stop em."

"As a Galaxy Police officer it is my duty to capture criminals and he
is most definatly a criminal." said Mihoshi

Kuro looked at her in confusion and said "O.k. thats........good. Now
Tenchi, Aeka, and I will try to beat him to his craft. That way you will not have
to worry about him."

"I'm coming too" said Ryoko as she appeared from Washu's lab.

"Meow!" agreed Ryo-oki

"Alright, Ryo-oki will take us there and Ryoko is with us. Come folks
its hero time. We got a princess to rescue" proclaimed Kuro.
