Tenchi Muyo; no need for a Tuesday - Dreams and Nightmares

As everyone in the house slept each one dreamt of the future. Ayeka dreamed about what she will do in the future. Ryoko and Tenchi who were now sleeping together dreamed of what the future held and when would or could they actually get married. Sasami dreamed of the future as well, but for her dreams usually tend to be darker than that of others. Tsunami never allowed her to remember them in detail though. Mihoshi wondered what she would do now, but the answer was simply to stay here and enjoy her time. Tenchi's father however dreamed of the past. He dreamed of his wife now gone.

He recalled how good it felt to hold another after such a long time alone. But Nobuyuki also felt like he had betrayed his wife at the same time. In his dreams he could speak his wife again, "Achika, my love..." Not only could he speak, but he could also see her, and feel her near him again. For so long he had been without her, he tried to cover his loss with other things, but while they did help it sometimes made him miss her more.

Tsunami approached him as he slept, placing a hand on his head she spoke softly to him, "remember. Remember her words before she had to go." Tsunami tried not to cry herself, as she had been having more feelings lately. With her touch though she brought back to his dream a memory that had happened a few days before she left him. After she had brought his memory back to him, she left him there to think about it.

Achika's words haunted his memories, "my love, I know you will fall in love again. Please, I want you to be happy..."

When he responded he hated his attitude, yet for all these years he had lived up to it. "No! I will never love another. You're the only one I have loved." Anger raced through his mind, "How could you think I could ever love anyone else." He seamed to think that by loving another he would be betraying his wife. For the rest of that night he slept uneasily as he recalled that day, and the day that she died. Loosing her meant he had lost a vital part of his life. He awoke sweating profusely, he looked about his room and the feeling of loneliness overcame him again and he began to cry softly so no one would know.

Nobuyuki happened to look up as the tears fell and he saw his camera sitting on his desk. "Well, I guess I should get rid of those pictures of Ryoko then." He allowed himself to smile at how easy she had made it to get some very interesting pictures. Although he had not planned on keeping them for himself he was going to keep those of whom his son did not choose. If Tenchi had still not chosen one by his twenty-first birthday then a photo album of the girls may provoke him into choosing one. Since he had chosen one though it might be best to get rid of those with Ryoko, but what about those of Mihoshi? Ayeka he had very few if any of as she was so proper all the time and always had so many layers on it made it virtually impossible to get a 'good' shot.

When he lifted up his camera he thought of those pictures he had of Mihoshi, he smiled at the memory of her beautiful body. Once he was sure that she had caught him, but instead of announcing his presence in front of Ryoko and Ayeka she kept quiet. It was funny looking back on that day, but he could have been seriously hurt if either of them had discovered him. But why, why had she not said anything? "Maybe she didn't see me, or maybe she didn't know what I was doing?" He placed a hand over his mouth as he had said those words out loud. Looking over at his clock he saw that it was about four in the morning, and with being so awake now he knew he couldn't go back to sleep. So instead of returning to his bed he went to a small room that he had in the corner of his room. This was his place to be alone, his solace. When he entered he turned off the normal light and turned on a red light. This was his dark room, his place to develop his own pictures.

Upstairs Sasami had gone back to bed but Tsunami still had one more thing to do before she would consider the night over. She went to Mihoshi's room and placed a hand on her forehead. "You allow yourself to escape into a childhood fantasy too much my child. The time is coming when your reason for escaping is over and you will find that which you seek." Having spoken these words she saw a terrified expression the blonde ditz as she slept. Tsunami then left for the night, not to interfere with anyone else's dreams.

As Mihoshi slept she was having a dream where she was playing the main part's in multiple fairy tails, but she never seamed to get the prince in any of them, but she never cared too much about that part though. Then suddenly they turned dark and once again she was out in space. Taking a quick glance around she immediately recognized the ship she was on. This was the one that Kiyone had died on. She stood there with a terrified look when she felt a tap on her shoulder. Spinning around she saw her; the one that she wished was still alive.

"Mihoshi, take this blaster, that crook is just ahead I know it." Kiyone was looking down a darkened hall that she was sure led to the mastermind of a series of thefts. Mihoshi wanted to tell her not to go, but the other officer was already running down the hall. Chasing after her the horrible scenes played out in front of her and she got to see again what had happened. She watched in horror as she tripped and knocked her partner over a railing and into the energy stream below.

"Kiyone! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to kill you..." Mihoshi cried as she pictured her partners' face, and heard her horrified scream as she fell. She had told the headquarters and her friends that her partner sacrificed herself to cover up for her mistake. And it was that mistake that had plagued her mind ever since then.

Her dream then showed Kagato before her as he told her again and again "I've heard much of your heroic episodes in the past. Now I hear you're overworked...and your performance stinks." He kept repeating that to her as she fired her blaster at him only to have it bounce off his shield. She was useless against him. After many traumatic things happened in her life, like loosing Kiyone and being so ridiculed against Kagato and even more before then she desperately wanted to return to a time in her life when everything was right. This escape caused her to seam like a ditz or as some called her a bubble-head. To her it was the only way she knew to survive. Maybe someday she could return to reality, but not now.

She awoke from her nightmare in a cold sweat. She knew that if someone had not stepped in when she faced Kagato that he would have killed her easily. Sitting upright in her bed as her thoughts continued to dwell on the past and the present. Her life had been saved repeatedly by Tenchi, but all but one he had done not just for her but for others. It was that first time that he saw her that she knew that he truly tried to save just her, but why? There was not an easy answer as he had told them all that he loves Ryoko and the two of them had gone to his room and were possibly asleep holding each other right now.

Now, now she was alone, again as usual. Her partner and best friend was gone and now the one she thought might have been her destiny had chosen another. It was this thought that reminded her that maybe she had been wrong about her destiny, and what was her destiny now? What does the future hold for a seemingly useless Galaxy Police Officer that cannot do anything right? Shaking these thoughts out of her head she looked at the clock, and noticed it was a little after four in the morning.

She slipped on a simple robe and prepared to go downstairs to get something to drink, and maybe watch some television while everyone slept. Stepping out into the hall she ventured downstairs, but along the way she looked in on all her friends. Ayeka and Sasami were sleeping peacefully. When she checked in on Ryoko and Tenchi she saw them asleep in each other's arms, but something was different. Looking closer she noticed that neither had something covering their shoulders possibly not even ... Blushing she stepped back outside.

"Someday I will find someone that will do the same to me," she told herself. A tear fell from her eyes as she continued down to the living room. For some reason she stopped at Nobuyuki's room. On the floor she could see light coming out from underneath the door. A memory flashed by at how comfortable she felt when he held her earlier. She almost squeaked when she remembered that day she almost caught him peeping in on Ryoko, Ayeka and herself. She was going to tell them, but with their tempers he might of died so she let him know she saw him without the others knowing.

It was against the laws of this planet as well as the galaxy to enter someone's house or room without being invited, but curiosity and something else was pushing at her mind to go in. Already tonight she had broken that rule twice, so a third time would not hurt her more, so pushing those thoughts away she opened the door and looked in.

His room was fairly modest, not a lot of things in it and decorating the walls were certificates and diplomas of different sorts, but he was not in sight. With barely another thought she proceeded into the room. The bed was a mess and looking at it carefully her detective side kicked in. "He appears to have had a nightmare as the sheets are wrinkled and partly pulled out from the end denoting he was tossing and possibly frightened about something." The words and reasons were flowing through her mind but not a sound escaped her lips.

By the bed she found a few wet spots and deduced that they were teardrops as they were only droplets here and there. As opposed to a larger area where one might have been sweating while they slept and they were much too high for them to be of a different type of accident. Soon her ears picked up the sound of humming, but at first she couldn't tell from where. It took just a few short moments before she determined the source of the humming. Behind a door she could hear the scuffling of feet and someone happily humming. The deep hum and the other noises easily gave away who it was, but not what he was doing.
