As Tenchi, Ryoko and Ryo-ohki headed home after Ryoko and Ryo-ohki had returned to Earth, Tenchi and Ryoko began to talk.
"So, where were you?" Tenchi asked.
"Around," Ryoko answered. She didn't want to tell Tenchi that she had died on her trying to get him to Jurai. "So, you beat Kagato, huh?"
"Yeah, it wasn't that easy but in the end I did it."
"Did Ayeka try to convince you to stay with her?"
Tenchi nodded, "yes, but what would I do there? I wouldn't be able to have much fun and to return to my home planet. I'm a earthling and I like it that way."
Ryoko squeazed Tenchi's arm a bit.
"When do you think the rest will be here?" Tenchi asked.
"I'm sure Washu's already back in her lab and the rest of the girls will be here shortly. Ayeka will be here first probably since she won't stand the thought of us being together," Ryoko laughed.
"Yeah. You know what? We should head out to town. I always wanted to have a peaceful meal with you."
"Really?"
Tenchi smiled, "yep. Might as well do it now before we get all crowded in the house."
"You're right," Ryoko said putting her right arm around Tenchi's waist. Tenchi did the same.
- - - - - - -
Back home
- - - - - - -
Washu looked around the house, "um... I wonder where Tenchi is..." she looked a nearby clock, 'that's right, he's at school... oh well, I'll wait for him.' She told herself going back into her lab.
- - - -
Space
- - - -
"Azaka, Kamidake..." Ayeka started.
"Yes ma'am?" both Juraian guardians answered (the log ones).
"Hurry up and speed this ship. I want to get to Earth as soon as possible."
"As you wish," Azaka answered.
- - - - - - -
Mihoshi and Kiyone's loft
- - - - - - -
"Mihoshi! Don't turn that on right..." Kiyone started telling her oblivious partner not to turn on the furnace yet. Mihoshi didn't listen and caused a small explosion inside the space detective's loft. "Why don't you ever listen to me?" Kiyone said, coughing.
"I'm sorry, Kiyone!" Mihoshi bawled.
Kiyone dusted her clothes off, "we have to hurry up and get ready to go to Tenchi's."
"Yeah, but first, I have to turn this on."
"Mihoshi! DON'T!!!!"
BOOM.
- - - - - - - -
At the restaurant
- - - - - - - -
"What would you like to eat?" Tenchi asked Ryoko.
"Um... how about some stake?"
Tenchi smiled, "sure." He was happy to have one of the girls back, the girl that to his knowledge had really captured his heart 'I'm glad you're back, Ryoko. This time I will make sure to spend more time with you and show you my true feelings for you,' he told himself.
"May I take your order?" a waiter had come to their table.
"Well, we'll have to stakes well done and some of your carrot soup," he added remember their cabbit companion.
Ryo-ohki meowed and impatiently waited for her food.
"How are you doing in school?" Ryoko asked.
"I've been doing great. My home life suddenly got quieter though. I really missed you guys," Tenchi said reaching over for Ryoko's hand, which was resting on the table.
Ryoko looked down to see that Tenchi's hand was on top of hers. She slightly blushed and quickly took her hand away. "So, you decided not to stay with that stuck up princess?"
Tenchi laughed, "I already told you. Plus, I didn't want to be with some one I knew I wasn't going to be happy..."
"Have you found someone that makes you happy?"
Tenchi nodded, 'she's sitting right in front of me,' Tenchi mentally answered.
After they had finished their meal, they decided to go home. In all this excitement, Tenchi had forgotten that he was supposed to go to school and the thought of that didn't cross him at all.
As they got home, they noticed that Washu was already back under the stairs. Tenchi gently knocked on the door to Washu's lab.
"It's open," she yelled from inside.
"Hey, Washu!" Tenchi excitedly said as he hurried to where she was and hugged her.
"Hiya, kiddo, aren't you supposed to be in school?"
"School?" Tenchi wondered, "oh sheesh! I was supposed to go! I forgot with having Ryoko back and all."
"I see," Washu stated looking back at Ryoko. "Tenchi, would you mind letting us girls talk for a moment?"
"Not at all," he said and quickly left the room.
"What's up?" Ryoko asked.
"How did you survive?"
"How did you know?"
"Do you think I'm that dull, Ryoko?"
Ryoko laughed, "I guess not."
"You 'guess not'? Well, me being the greatest scientific genius in the universe should know everything shouldn't I?"
"I guess so."
"Sheesh, what got into you?"
"I don't know... I guess I'm just happy to be back home."
"Tenchi seems just as excited."
"Yeah, but he told me that he found someone that makes him happy..."
"Has he?"
"Yeah."
"Well, whoever it is, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. So, how is it that you survived?"
- - - - - - - -
Living room
- - - - - - - -
'I can't believe that in all this excitement I even forgot to go to school,' I'm sure my dad will understand why I didn't go,' Tenchi thought. "I wonder if Kiyone and Mihoshi are back.
At that exact moment, the telephone rang. Tenchi got up from the couch and went to pick up the phone. "Hello?"
"Tenchi, is that you?" Kiyone asked.
"Yeah... Kiyone... you're back too?"
"Yep, I thought you'd be at school right now."
"Nope, I didn't go after I met up with Ryoko."
"I thought she was dead."
"Dead?"
"Yeah, rumors I don't know if they're true though, but seeing as Ryoko's there, I guess they aren't."
"Yeah..."
"Well, Mihoshi and I will be there as soon as we can right after I clean the mess she left."
"Alright-"
"By the way, Tenchi?"
"Yeah?"
"Ayeka and Sasami will be here shortly too."
"That's great."
"Yeah, well, see you in a while!"
"Bye."
"Who was that?" asked Ryoko.
"Oh, Ryoko, that was Kiyone. She and Mihoshi will be here soon. So will Ayeka and Sasami."
"Great, and to deal with that stuck up princess..."
"Come on, Ryoko, why don't we go to the lake?"
"Um? Sure..."
- - - - - - -
Outside
- - - - - - -
"So, what's the deal that you were dead?" Tenchi asked Ryoko.
"How'd you know?" she replied.
"So, it is true?"
"Yeah..."
"When did this happen?"
"Right after I left Jurai..."
"What?"
"I was injured, don't you remember? Thanks to Kagato I was suffering, but I had to get you to Jurai to stop him."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Ryoko laughed, "I knew you would stay by my side, even if I did want that, I wanted you to defeat Kagato..."
"I see, but you should have at least let me help you."
"Don't worry about it, Tenchi..." suddenly, Ryoko found herself in Tenchi's embrace. "Um... Tenchi... why are you hugging me?"
"I don't know what I could have done without you..."
Ryoko hugged Tenchi tighter, "that's what I thought too..."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A/N: So, what did you think? I don't know if I'm heading the right direction with this taking place right after the Universe. It's my first try and if the reviews keep coming, I'll continue with the story. Later!
