A/N This is the last chapter in this series, but it won't be the last Tenchi fic that I write. After I finish this Growing Love and Baby Crisis I will mostly work on orginals to sharpen my writing skills. When I am convinced that I can do justice to a true Tenchi yaoi fic, then I will write one, but until then I will try to improve my writing. Bare with me.^_^

And as I have said already, the next day started out hetic. Ayeka, Ryoko, and Sagami argued about who was going to make Tenchi's breakfast. While they were arguing Sasami made Tenchi's breakfast, and Tenchi left for school. Only when they heard the door slam did they realize that Tenchi had left. They each huffed and went to doing their daily activites. When Tenchi came home he saw all three standing there waiting for him. It was then he realized how comlicated this all was. He went straight to Washu's lab after quickly doging and running away from Ryoko, Ayeka, and Sagami. Washu sat surrounded by monitors on all sides. Tenchi could see himself in every monitor.

"What is it Tenchi? Stressed out already?" Tenchi nodded his head."Yeah, I am all ready tired of this so much." Well I have a new invention that I think will help you relax. It's called the Relaxer and it is the invention that will do the most good around here."
"The Relaxer?"
"Uh huh. It is a large tube that holds a substance that I created. It is like soaking in a hot springs but you are totally submerged and you can breath underwater. I need someone to try it out do you think you could give it a try?"
"Sure why not. I could use some rest."
"Just go get a towel on and get in. I have to go help your grandfather with something at the shrine so be careful."
"Okay, little Washu."

Washu was right. It felt like Tenchi was floating in warm space. His thoughts began to turn to everything that had been happening. After Kagato was destroyed there was some confusion about who was going to be the new Emperor. Some had suggested him but he was against that. It seemed like Ayeka would take the throne but now she was back here. She had told everyone that the Holy Council was trying to find the right canidate. Tenchi then found himself remembering himself ask about the Emperor and his wifes. "Well, the Emperor can have as many wifes or husbands, as long as they are able to help him in his leadership. If they are good leaders and they are trustworthy, the Emperor may have up to twenty wives!"

//I wonder if it would be possible to...// After an hour of soaking Tenchi had finally decided what to do. He got out and got dressed. The first thing that he saw when he came out of Washu's lab was Ayeka, Ryoko, and Sagami all looking disapointed. "What is going on?" All at once all three of the started to talk at once. Tenchi couldn't understand a word that was being said. "Will you three SHUT UP!!" They stopped talking imeddiatly after Washu had yelled. "Tenchi your school just called the dance had been cancelled because something happened at the school. So you lucked out. Also it looks like Ayeka and Sasami will be leaving soon."
"What? Why?"
"Because there is no one else to take the place of Emperor so Ayeka must find a husband and get married in two weeks or she forfiets her right to the crown." Tenchi stood speechless. His mind became a whirl as the thoughts that he had before came to him again. The crazy ideas that he had dismissed earlier didn't seem so crazy.

That night he layed in bed trying to decide on what to do. Was he willing to give his life? He remembered how much he had missed everyone when they weren't there. Yes, he was willing and he wanted to. That morning everyone was gathered a the table eating, what seemed like a their last breakfast together when Tenchi came downstairs."Everyone I have made a decsion. We are all going to Juri. I want to talk with the Holy Coucil." Everyone looked dumfounded for a moment until they all said in one voice,"Yeah!" For an hour there was nothing but chaos in the Massaki household. Finally everyone had all their stuff packed and Washu shrank the house and put it in Ugami's cargo hold again. Tenchi made triple sure that there was enough food for all of them, so that they didn't starve again.

At last after a few minute delays Ugami left the Earth and headed for the planet Juri. Without having to hide and be chased it would take them a week to get there. The first day passed without any incidents but slowly everyone started wondering why Tenchi had decided to go. It seemed like a spur of the moment thing but everyone wondered why? Each person came up with there own reason. Ayeka and Ryoko had convinced themsleves that Tenchi had wanted to marry them, while Sasami really didn't care. Azaka and Kamidake thought it had something to do with Sagami. Sagami decided that he would trust Tenchi. When they came to the same station that they had meet Sagami only a few months before they had to stay for a little while.

Kuno stood waiting to meet them. "Hello Lord Tenchi, Princess Ayeka and Sasami, and Sagami. It is nice to see you all again. Sagami have you been taking good care of Lord Tenchi?" For some reason Sagami blushed at this remark. "Where are all of you heading?" Kuno asked. "We are heading for Juri I want to personally speak with the Holy Council."
"Is that so well then you better get going you have little time right Ayeka?"
"That is right, and thank you uncle for helping us before."
"There was nothing to it Ayeka. I'll tell them to get everything ready for you to go." An hour later they continued their journey. Azaka and Kamidake sat on the porch which overlooked space. "Azaka what do you think Tenchi has in mind?"
"I don't know Kamidake we will just have to wait and see." For a moment there was silence before Kamidake said,"Azaka what do you think will happen to us if Ayeka does get married and becomes Queen."
"Why are you worried, Kamidake?"
"Because what if her husband doesn't like us? What if he wants new knights? What if..."
"What if when we get to Juri it won't be there?" Azaka said sarcasticlly. Kamidake got a hurt look on his face. "I'm sorry Kamidake. I am worried too, but we need to have faith in the Princess."
"Alright Azaka."

Finally the travelers reached their destination. At first everyone thought that Ayeka was back to marry and take the throne everyone was surprised when the boy who defeated Kagato asked..no..demanded to see the Holy Council at once. Although there were some doubts Tenchi and the others would be allowed to see the Holy Council. Right before they went in Ryoko decided to be her usual blunt self."Tenchi what are you planning to do?" Everyone stood still and waited for Tenchi's answer. He just said,"You will find out soon." Ryoko didn't looked satisfied with the answer she got but she decided to shut up and wait. They were lead into the room one at a time until everyone was in. Tenchi stood before them looking so small and helpless up against the huge numbers of the Council.

"Members of the Juri Holy Council I give you Lord Tenchi." As soon as he was announced Tenchi walked to the podium to speak. "Members of the Council I have asked for an audience today because it has come to my attention that one of the girls under my protection is under a predicament. As you have commanded Ayeka has only one more week until she forfeits her right to the throne. For the longest time I could not come to a descion about all that has happened in my life until this point. Finally I have come to an understanding with myself. I will become the next Emperor of Juri."
"WHAT?!" came the reply from behind Tenchi and the Council members were buzzing. "I will, also, marry the Princess Ayeka and Sasami when she comes of age." Ayeka looked as if she were going to burst from happiness while Ryoko looked as she were about to kill Ayeka. "In additon to marring Ayeka and Sasmi, I will also wed the two galaxy police detectives, Mihoshi and Kyionne, the genius Washu and the space pirate Ryoko."

Sagami looked as if someone had just killed him. "And a boy who helped us escape from the Juri military when we were fugitives. His name is Sagami." Ayeka and Ryoko looked annoyed, but Sagami looked the happiest he had ever. " These are terms that I will agree on. I will marry these seven people and they will help me to rule Juri, except Ryoko." Tenchi could here the "Hey!" from Ryoko, and he couldn't help but smile. "Since I know very little about Juri I know it will help if I have more than one spouse to help me rule. I believe I have already demonstrated my abilities with the Juri power when I defeated Kagato so I await your decsion." With that said Tenchi turned and saw everyone standing there. Ayeka, Ryoko, and Mihoshi were in tears, and so was Sasami. Kyionne was trying to keep from crying. Washu just stood looking happy as did Sagami. Noboyuki looked dazed and Kasuhito looked proud. Azaka and Kamidake also looked like they were going to start glowing with pride.

"Come on everyone let's get some rest." No one spoke a word to that night and Tenchi was glad that the girls and Sagami had finally learned when to leave him alone. As they stood outside the room where the Holy Council met the silence was strange. Tenchi knew that everyone was still in shock about yesterday. When they stood in front of the Holy Council he felt Sasami take his left hand, while Sagami took his right. Washu took Sagami's free hand and she held on tight to Ryoko. Ayeka joined Sasami and so did Kyionne and Mihoshi. "We the Council have heard your request. At first we were in doubt that you could handle being the Emperor but then we remember that you were able to get passed the Juri military, the Galaxly Police, and Kagato. Those deeds alone convinced us. The new Emperor of the planet Juri is Tenchi Massaki."
And in one voice the girls and Sagami said,"YEAH!!!!"

*******************
(Tenchi's POV)

It's been 6 months since the desicion was made that I would be the new Emperor. Time seemed to of fly so fast since then. I am happily married to Ayeka, Ryoko, Washu, Kyionne, Mihoshi, and Sagami. Each had their own wedding on different days in alphabetical order.(It was the only way I could keep track.) And we won't dicuss the wedding nights. The girls have all taken their new positions seriously, even Mihoshi. Kyionne and Mihoshi are now in charge of the Galaxy Police. Ayeka is very helpful as the Regent of Juri. Ryoko, to everyone's surprise is very helpful at capturing space pirates. Washu has strengthen the Juri miltitary and is working with Sasami to help improve the schools. Sasami had come up with some great ideas that Washu is willing to try. They make a good team. Sagami helps me alot by traveling with me and being my bodyguard in a way. He has helped in making better defense systems and satillites.

As it must happen in most marriages all five girls are pregnant. Washu imeddiatly created a machine that would tell us if it were to be a boy or girl. Imagine are surprise when we found out that all five were carring girls. The adive council has already begun to worry that I won't have an heir. So after listening to them I finally said if there was a way to have a boy I would gladly have the baby myself. Unfortunatly I shouldn't of said this around Washu. Although I still don't know how she altered my body and two months ago I found out I was pregnant with Sagami's child and it's a boy. After fainting I found out that Ayeka and Ryoko were fuming that it would be Sagami's boy that inheirted the throne. I try to stay out of their arguments. Now you see why I need a sort of bodyguard.

When we weren't pregnant there were arguments every night over who I would sleep with I just sat back and let them argue. It would usually end in paper, scissor, rock. Sagami would usally win despite Ayeka and Ryoko's efforts. Everyone paired up actually and I guess keep themslves happy thought if I think about I might get a nosebleed. Right now we are all sitting in a recreation of the Massaki living room. Washu is showing us her new interplanetary radio that can pick up music from Earth. At first all we can hear is static then slowly we can hear the sofest music. Then a woman starts singing...

Feel the wind
Feel the sun
And our new day in paradise has only begun
On the sand by the sea
It's peaceful oasis made for you and for me
Take my hand...

This place was always waiting
This beauty all around us
The air intoxicating
Just like the love that found us

Let's forget who we've been
And give in to the dream
Maybe life is a song
That's how it seems...

And forevermore we'll hear the music play
Yes forevermore I'll take you in my arms this way
And forevermore we'll know the melody
We will sing forevermore, just like the peaceful sea

Past the clouds
Past the sky
We can only imagine what great mysteries lie
Other moons
Other stars
Close your eyes and together we'll go wandering far
Take my hand...

This miracle's undying
It never will forsake us
We'll always keep on flying
Wherever love may take us

Let's forget who we've been
And give in to the dream
Maybe life is a song
That's how it seems...

And forevermore we'll hear the music play
Yes forevermore I'll take you in my arms this way
And forevermore we'll know the melody
We will sing forevermore, just like the peaceful sea

Everyone sat back and looked totally relaxed. After the song was over Sasami grabbed my hand and said,"Tenchi for some reason that somg reminds me of us."
"Really Sasami?"
I watch as Ayeka, Ryoko and Sagami start paper, scissor, rock to see which of them I'll be sleeping with tonight. Mihoshi is sleeping on Kyionne's shoulder. While Azaka and Kamidake snuggled by the corner. It was an amazement to almost everyone when the two knghts finally confessed their love for each other. Ever since then they used every moment to spend time with each other. Washu is showing Sasami the plans for the new school room that they had come up with. And a mew song is blaring on the radio. I think the DJ said it was called I am a Pionner. I guess your right Sasami.

And forevermore we'll hear the music play
Yes forevermore I'll take you in my arms this way
And forevermore we'll know the melody
We will sing forevermore, just like the peaceful sea

I guess your right.
