DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of these characters. The Tenchi characters strictly belong to AIC and Pioneer. Except for An'ya "Emerald" she belongs to me and Budoki who belongs to my Jác.
ON TO MY STORY
Early one hot summer morning, each member of the Masaki family was working hard on their daily duties.
Sasami was busily working on today's lunch. Ayeka and Kiyone were working on the garden. Mihoshi was sweeping near the Masaki shrine. Tenchi was picking some vegetables from the field. Washu was working on one of her newest experiments and Ryoko was peacefully sleeping in her room.
Sasami was chopping some carrots while Ryo-ohki sat happily on her shoulder. "I hope Tenchi will be in time for lunch today", Sasami stopped chopping for a while and started to think why Tenchi had missed lunch so much this summer since he never did that. *He always comes home, but lately it seems that something has been holding him back *. Sasami got out of her state of mind and continued as she and the rest of the family heard a blast coming from Washu's lab.
The blast had a different effect on each member of the family. Most of the family hurried to the lab except for Tenchi who was in the field and Ryoko who took her time but then quickly teleported inside the lab. "What the hell are you doing now, Washu?" Ryoko had asked this in a very annoyed tone since she had just been awakened.
The tiny red haired scientist looked up at her daughter who had just appeared in front of her. Before Washu said something, Ryoko noticed that her mother had a mischievous smile on her face. "Heh! I'm trying to locate someone from our past. I guess this machine needs a little more time before it works perfectly"
The rest of the family stopped in their tracks when they heard that Ryoko was inside the lab now. There was no use in trying to go in there if the two of them were in there. They all went back to what they were doing before the explosion.
Tenchi continued working for a while and then stopped to think. *If I tell Ryoko that I love her more than the other girls, then I'm pretty sure that they will be mad at the both of us* Tenchi continued working a while longer and then decided to head back home.
Meanwhile in Washu's lab, Washu looked at her daughter and started to tell her some things. "You see, there are many things in my past that you still don't really know about." She took a quick breath and then continued with her speech. "I'm the well known greatest scientific genius in the universe. I am known to be the mother of three children, one who has not been heard from ever since she was born". Washu continued to tell many more things to Ryoko especially about her "unknown third child".
This conversation had taken a long time since Sasami had to go to the lab to tell both Washu and Ryoko that lunch was ready. Minutes later, Washu and her daughter headed outside of the lab with a new found respect for each other. "You mustn't tell any one about this, my little Ryoko". Washu had told this mentally to her daughter as they headed towards the table.
Everyone had already started to eat and they all looked up to see their two friends join them for lunch. Ryoko looked around the table and saw that Tenchi had decided to join them for lunch today. She quickly teleported to where Tenchi was and appeared hugging Tenchi.
To this, Tenchi was blushing like mad since his feelings were now in over drive. The only thing that seemed natural to him was to try to push Ryoko away so that no one would notice what had just happened. "Come on, Ryoko. Give me some space to eat!".
His words seemed a bit strong for the mighty space pirate. She just looked at him and backed away. She quickly started to eat as much as she could. After lunch, she had excused herself from the table and left to think for a while. Ryoko walked slowly outside towards the lake and she sat down in front of her. "If Tenchi doesn't like my company, he should have told me a long time ago before my emotions got so strong". It took a while for Ryoko to realize that some one was behind her. It was her mother Washu.
"I know it seems like he doesn't enjoy your company, little Ryoko, but you must realize that he's trying real hard to hide his feelings for you from the rest of the family". Ryoko slightly jumped as she heard her mother from behind.
"What do you mean?" She said looking back at Washu.
"Didn't you see that he blushed when you hugged him?" Ryoko only shook the answer and stared at the sky.
Inside, Ayeka was looking at Tenchi while in between sips of her tea. *I wonder what that devil woman has done to Lord Tenchi to make him behave so differently when she's around*
It took a while for Tenchi's blush to fade away and it quickly left as he saw that Ayeka was looking at him a bit weird. "Is something wrong, Miss Ayeka?" He asked a bit shaken.
"What makes you think that something's wrong, Lord Tenchi?" She tried to shake off that something was wrong in Tenchi's head. After a while she just excused herself to go back to work on her garden.
The rest of the family finished their meals and continued with their chores.

Meanwhile, in space
- - - - - - - - - - -
A tall male with the apparent age of 23 walked around in a small planet just off the Milky Way. It appeared that he was looking for something and his mind quickly wondered as he saw a sign that grabbed his attention. He quickly entered the door under the sign and took a seat.
"Gentlemen, please excuse the delay in our show tonight since our main lady seems to be a tad late. We please ask of you to just wait ten minutes and the lovely Emerald will be here to accompany you"
Every male in the room groaned as it seemed that they had been waiting there for a long time. Only minutes later, the restless crowd seemed to quiet down as a young female stepped from behind the curtains.
A young blonde with blue eyes and a slender figure slowly started to undress herself at the beat of the music. She walked around on the platform teasing every male that was close to it. She seemed to enjoy this job to the fullest as this was a good way to get money. She was now down to her brassiere and panties as she noticed the young male from before. She slowly walked off the platform and started heading towards him.
At this, the rest of the guys moaned since once "Emerald" had picked someone out of the crowd, she'd do anything to get that guy in bed. (That was her rep).
As she neared the male she had set her sights on, she pulled his chair so that it was facing towards her and she started to give him a lap dance.
The male character didn't seem to pay any attention to this. He did seem a bit into it but his only response was making "Emerald" back away as he stood up and headed towards the door.
"Emerald" gasped as this wasn't supposed to happen and she quickly grabbed the guy's arm. "Who do you think you are to leave my presence once I have decided to give myself to you?" She asked very annoyed.
The young male just looked back at her and made a gesture with his hand that some how managed to rip her brassiere apart. "I'd be delighted to stay, but I have better things to do!" He grimaced as he saw "Emerald's" chest and as she tried to cover it up. He then left with a cold look on his eyes.
"All right! Show's over!", shouted a figure from behind.
"Emerald" quickly teleported back to her dressing room and sat in front of a mirror as she dressed herself again. *How foolish is that guy to leave me, An'ya, or shall I say 'Emerald' like that*
"Seems like your charisma is starting to wear off" Stated a young female behind her.
"It's just some fool who doesn't know who I am!" An'ya had snapped at the female's comment.
"Well, whatever. Here's your payment for tonight. It seems tonight has been the best for you in this club" The female handed An'ya some money and then left her room.
*Whatever, it seems I've gotten enough money to finally blow out this damn planet!* Having said that, An'ya teleported to her ship, Mizuki, and typed something into it. "We must destroy whatever evidence of me there is in this awful place. Moments later, An'ya ship was building some energy getting ready to fire it to the planet. Just before she could send her blast, the whole planet had already exploded and she saw another ship floating outside it's orbit.
This was the last straw for An'ya. She sent a message to the other ship. "Who in hell do you think you are? I was just about to make that planet disappear!"
A reply to her message was soon sent as she learned that who had sent that blast to the planet was no other than the guy who had ignored her in the club. "Foolish girl! I was here to rob the planet and destroy it. I had one more reason to destroy it after that little 'incident' in that club of yours. Seems like I'll have to destroy you some other time. Before I leave, I must introduce myself. I am Budoki and the best space pirate now that the foolish Ryoko has abandoned her duties."
With that said, Budoki's ship, Gi-ohki, disappeared in a flash.

Back on Earth

The sun was now beginning to set and Tenchi headed back home. He stopped nearby a tree when he noticed that Ryoko was there. "What's up, Ryoko"
Ryoko looked down on him and tears started to flow down from her eyes. "Tenchi, if you don't want me in this place, you should just tell me to leave and I'll make sure to get out of here as soon as possible"
Tenchi did not expect to hear this coming from the former space pirate. "What do you mean, Ryoko? Are you upset because of what happened at lunch?"
Ryoko slowly floated down to where Tenchi was standing. She hugged him for a long while until Tenchi slowly pushed her back. "Ryoko, you mustn't think like that. You of all people should know that I would never want you to go away from this house. Everyone needs you here specially me."
Ryoko weakly smiled as Tenchi wiped away her tears. "I'm sorry. It's just that at times I can't stand the way you act towards-"
Ryoko's words were stopped as she felt Tenchi's lips touch hers.
