Tenchi Muyo; no need for a Tuesday - Stay Behind

In space the Emperor, his wives and several of the head families of Jurai were assembled together for a meeting. Clearing his throat the emperor began, "my friends, This is an emergency meeting that has been called to discuss what has happened only a few hours ago. I have like the rest of you felt a tremendous power drain that came from a planet far away from Jurai. Right now the Council is having an emergency meeting as well. Now, as for the source of the drain we cannot be sure, but it seams to have come from the planet Earth. My daughters are currently on that planet and they cannot pull that much power no matter how hard they tried. But since then I have not heard from them yet and I can't say for certain what may have happened. Lady's Funaho and Masaki will be trying again soon to contact them." Inwardly he hoped that all was well, but something was gnawing at him, as he wondered if it could have been this boy, this Tenchi.

Could he be the reason or was it that space pirate destroying things again, either way he had to find out, and soon. Most of the Jurai nobility and military feared what might be on Earth, and he knew that unless something was done soon they might try to investigate. But last time they investigated something it involved crushing a planet, arresting the inhabitants and interrogating them all. It was not the best decision that Jurai had ever made, but the investigation did turn up what they wanted.

After the meeting the two wives of Azusa went to attempt another communication with Earth. Their first one went unanswered, as Washu was not in her lab at the time the message was sent. Hopefully this time things will go better. This time since Washu was actually doing an experiment in her lab she did hear the incoming message. When she answered it she was surprised to see them.

"Greetings lady's Funaho and Masaki." She bowed toward the monitor as if to them.

"Greetings Little Washu," they both said.

Funaho was first and to the point, "Washu, about ten standard hours ago a massive power flow was detected from every Jurai tree in the direction of Earth. What has happened there?"

Washu cackled her normal way, "well right to the point huh? Well all right, here is the short version. Ryoko and Ayeka had another of their arguments that caused Ryoko to try and strike herself down." Both queens gasped. "Tenchi then to save her became bonded to one of her gems and then in turn to her. Both were unconscious for several hours. While unconscious I noticed a strange thing happening, six Light hawk wings appeared over them. Three were his and the other three I have found out were from her."

"You mean she has power of the Light Hawk Wings!" Lady Masaki was, needless to say, rather surprised at that. Her sister though had known that she should have use of them as well.

"Yes, and today Katsuhito or Yosho as you know him is training them both in how to use their powers." Washu could not suppress a grin as her words had a different impact on both of them.

"Little Washu, when you say that they were bonded together and now training together does that mean he has made a choice?" Lady Funaho had picked up on what Washu had been saying but she wanted to hear it outright.

"Yes it does, he has before all of us proclaimed his love for my daughter and has asked for her to marry him!" She was almost bubbling over with joy. Lady Masaki however was sad because that meant that Ayeka would not be his bride. But the thought that a member of her family was going to be wed perked her up a little. The three women talked for quite some time before the transmission was finally ended. When it did they wished Washu and her daughter well and told her that they wanted to be informed when the wedding was to be held. Washu had not told them everything as she was still investigating what was going on.

"Tsunami said those gems were from her sister another goddess, but I have had those since before I can remember. And why did Sasami call me sister earlier? Surely they don't think..." Her train of thought tried to keep going but it seamed strange to consider herself a goddess and Tsunami's sister. She thought about being a goddess for a little while longer then she returned to her experiments as she called them, but this time it was just searching through her massive database. There had to be some other information about these gems.

Even though Emperor Azusa did not like Tenchi he was still not pleased to hear from his wives what had happened. With both him and Ryoko having access to the Light Hawk Wings it made them more powerful than him. And by marrying Ryoko that made her, the mortal enemy of Jurai, a part of the royal family! His one bit of comfort was that Tenchi wished to remain on Earth and had no desire for the throne. As his wives finished telling him about what had happened one of his aides came running in.

"Sir! Emperor! I have important news!"

"Very well, what is it?"

"From the Supreme Council, you and your wives are to remain here, the council is taking twenty battle cruisers and..."

"What!" He had not let the man finish as he, the emperor had been told like a commoner to stay behind!

"Yes sir, they want you and your wives to remain here while they investigate this. Also they have enlisted the help of the galaxy police." With his message delivered the man bowed and retreated fast before anyone could do harm to him.

Azusa was fuming as he sat on his throne. "Imagine, me of all people being told to stay behind!"

For their parts the two queens were quite livid as well. While Lady Masaki tried to calm her husband it was Lady Funaho that attempted to contact Washu again. However she found that all of their communications had been cut off. She knew what this meant, the council would investigate and many on the council no matter how good Ryoko tried to be would still prefer to see her at the end of a sword. She returned quickly and informed the others of the situation.

The day passed slowly as no word came to them as to what was going to happen on Earth, and without a way to warn their children it seamed hopeless. For Funaho she feared that with Ryoko having all of her gems back then she would not get a chance to see her son again. He had told her that it was those gems that kept his tree and in turn him alive.

On Earth Katsuhito had Tenchi and Ryoko training harder than they had ever done before. He had spent some time training her on how to properly sword fight. He knew that she was strong and very quick, but her swordplay was sloppy. He did not think it best to tell her that was how he was able to get her gems from her. With both himself and Tenchi training her she seamed to pick up on the techniques easily. Ayeka had watched them for a while and was mortified that Ryoko was being taught how to fight as if she were a member of the Jurai Royal Family. She was able to withhold her contempt though as she remembered that soon she and her would be family. The hardest thing for Ayeka though was to not call her a pirate or a demon. Tenchi had made it clear to everyone that she was just Ryoko now.

Ayeka returned to the house and spoke to Sasami who was now preparing dinner. Entering the house she saw Mihoshi watching TV, that alone was not unusual, but how she was watching did cause her to think. Mihoshi was watching her cartoons, but she seamed to pay them no attention, she did not move, nor laugh like she used to. In fact Mihoshi just sat there gazing at it, and even thought her eyes appeared to be looking at it, she was not paying any attention to it.

This gave her a feeling that something was not right, but she could not form it into words to ask her about it. Washu choose that moment to enter and pulling the princess into the kitchen she told them about her conversation with the queens. Both Sasami and Ayeka had known that after last night they were sure to call, but it did not comfort them as they thought it would. When dinner was ready Ayeka left to inform Tenchi and Ryoko, but she did not have to go far.

She watched as he held her on the dock. Ayeka looked at them and she knew that they loved each other, but inside it still hurt a little because she had no one to love. After letting them sit there for a while she moved closer and seeing a stick on the ground she stepped on it causing it to snap, figuring that it was better than just walking up to them or clearing her throat to get their attention. Regardless of her intentions it worked, both turned around to see her, so she told them that dinner was ready.

Dinner was definitely not quiet as Washu told them all about her conversation with the Queen's again; she was not sure which part she was happier about. Was it because her daughter was getting married or that she was able to tell the queens that Ryoko was about to become a part of the royal family? Either way she was happy. With all the commotion no one realized that Mihoshi was just sitting there staring at her food, as for her things have taken a strange twist. Her friend Ryoko, the one whom she had come to arrest was going to be getting married. But only yesterday she had tried to take her own life. She was happy yet sad at these events. She was also unsure if she was happy or not that someone else knew of her hurts and they were trying to help her cover them up. The one thought she had on that was "but how long would it last?"

While they ate Nobuyuki arrived and started eating too. He was happy for his son, but he still missed his wife, but the only thing he could think about today at work was Mihoshi for some reason. He knew that she liked Tenchi, and that she obviously had something that haunted her just like he did. But he could not think of what it could be.

Washu may have been putting on an act but no one knew it. She was truly happy for her daughter, but she still had many unanswered questions. For now she pushed them to the back of her mind and just did her best to not let anyone know what she was thinking about. Since everyone else had been so preoccupied lately it was not hard to fool everyone.

After dinner everyone went their separate ways again, and as usual now Tenchi and Ryoko left for his bedroom. Ayeka went to her room while Sasami and Ryo-Ohki cleaned up the kitchen, while Washu who was happier than ever returned to her lab. Mihoshi instead of going to her room instead went to the onsen to soak for a while. Yosho had shown up for a few moments to get a bite to eat before returning to his shrine again. With his time drawing closer to an end he wanted to make sure he was ready to cross over and be with his wife again.
