Disclaimer: I do not own Tenchi Muyo or any of its characters so don't bother me.
A/N: OK! On to another chapter of my story! I want to thank all of you lovely people for the nice reviews! Especially Ryoko, who really kept my spirits up and inspired me to write this chapter! Ryoko, I have one thing to say: ./` I'm not telling who he loves! ./` Same rules as last time, except I am going to say 'She' or 'Her' instead of 'the one I love'. OK, on with the story!
Sailor Moon Maniacs Corp. Presents
Forever Yours
Chapter Two
When I wake up, I am in a, well, thing that kinda looks like what I was in on OVA episode 7. Anyway, I see Washu working on her computer.
"Um, Little Washu?" I ask.
"Oh, Tenchi! You're awake!" She replies. "Yes, what is it?"
"Um . . . Why am I in my underwear?" I blush slightly at this question.
"Oh, I just had to get some samples," She answers.
"I don't think I want to know," I say, shaking my head. "Well, are you finished?"
"Yes."
"Can you take me down and give me back my clothes now?"
"OK, Ten—"
"Miss Washu!" I hear the voice of Ayeka calling Washu. Oh dear . . . .;;
"Um, what is it, Miss Ayeka? I'm in here!"
"Little Washu!" I say.
"What?"
"Help!"
Washu throws a tarp over me just in time.
"Oh there you are, Miss Washu," I can hear Ayeka sigh.
"Hi there, Miss Ayeka, how may I help you?"
"I was just wondering if you knew where Tenchi was." I would have facefaulted if this machine wasn't holding me up.
"Why do you ask?"
"Well, I was going to . . . um . . . make him some tea, and I wanted to ask him if it was OK," I can hear Ayeka's fingers being pushed together.
"I think he's in the carrot fields."
"I looked there already. What's under that tarp?"
"Well, um, it's really none of your business and—" I can hear footsteps approaching the place where I am hiding. Please don't pull off the tarp! Please don't pull off the tarp! She pulls off the tarp. I swear, I am as red as a beet.
Ayeka blushes. "Lord Tenchi . . ." She averts her eyes.
"Um . . . hello, Miss Ayeka!" I say.
Ayeka ignores me. "Miss Washu! What is the meaning of this?"
"He promised to be my guinea pig!"
"He didn't know what you meant!"
"Um, could someone let me down?" I ask.

It is about 4:00 now and I lay with Ryo-Ohki in the carrot fields. I am petting her on the head when I remember Her. "Why hasn't anyone asked me?" I say aloud.
"Meow?" Ryo-Ohki responds.
"Why hasn't anyone asked me who She is?"
"Meow meow meow!" Ryo-Ohki says, chewing on a carrot.
Even though Ryo-Ohki isn't supposed to be chewing on a carrot, I let her. I stare at the sunset. I wish She was with me. This would me much more soothing with Her. All of my work is finished, and I am so exhausted that I am laying here. Why would Ayeka want me? I mean, Sasami's the only one who knows how to make tea around here. Why would Ayeka want me?
"Tenchi!" Sasami's voice echoes throughout the carrot fields.
"Yes? I'm right here!" I respond.
"Meow!" Ryo-Ohki adds.
"It's time for dinner! I made your favorite: Tafuyaki!"
"Oh! Great! I'm coming!" I meet Sasami. We walk back to the house.
------------/--------------/----------/---------------/------------O
It is a hassle to find a place to sit this time. Of course I get the usual "Sit by me, Tenchi!" "No, Lord Tenchi, sit by me!" which makes it difficult. I decide to sit in between Mihoshi and Kiyone to keep Kiyone from yelling at Mihoshi. This, too, is a big mistake.
"Hello, Tenchi!" Mihoshi says.
"Hello, Mihoshi," I reply.
"Hello, Tenchi!" Kiyone says.
"Hello, Kiyone," I reply.
I continue eating my dinner. Conversation is everywhere. I look at Her. She is talking with Sasami and laughing. She is so pretty when she laughs. I finish my Tafuyaki and walk over to Her. "Excuse me," I say.
"Yes?" She responds.
"Um . . . I . . . uh . . ." Stupid stuttering tongue!
"What is it?"
"Never mind." I am so pitiful! I walk outside. I continue walking until I reach the carrot fields. The sun is not quite set yet, so I lay down and look at the pink and purple sky. Why can't I just tell her? Why do I have to be so secretive? Why am I such a jerk?
"Hello, Tenchi," a deep voice purrs. I sit up and turn around.
"Ryoko? Why did you follow me?" I demand.
"Why else would I follow you, Tenchi?" with that she glomps me. "You just look so sad!"
"Get off of me, Ryoko!" I gasp.
"What's wrong, Tenchi?" Ryoko refuses to get off of me.
"It's none of your business, OK? Now get off!" She lets me go. I take a couple of breaths and say: "Why can't you be more like Ayeka?"
She gasps and looks at me with horror in her face. "Why would you want me to act like a terrified brat?" She looks insulted. I hope I haven't offended her.
"Because she keeps her feelings under control and isn't willing to break my back," I reply.
"Why are you sticking up for her?" She has a look on her face that makes me believe she is going to cry. Uh oh, I think I just did.
"Why would you care?" Why am I being so cruel?
"Because I love you, Tenchi, and I don't want to see you with a selfish brat like Ayeka!" With that she burst into tears and flew off. Ryoko . . .
A/N: So, how'd you like the end of Chapter Two? I know, another cliffhanger, aren't I mean? Maybe if you review I'll stop with the cliffhangers . . . I SAID MAYBE!! Anyhoo, use the cute little cuddly box below me, and I won't kill you, kay?
