Recap:
**************
"Unless he abdicates, then there is no other way." He said. Tenchi pounded his fist against the wooden panel floor, immediately pulling it back and rubbing.
"Oww…" he moaned. His grandfather laughed.
"It is not my fault you decided to pick a fight with a floor." They both laughed, and fell into a dreamless sleep full of tossing and turning

The next day: Jurai castle
********************
Tsunami silently ate her breakfast, sitting next to Yosho. She was shaking with anger that she had to marry this fool, at least Tenchi had taken her mind off of him. She felt so helpless. She stared glumly at her food. She took a sip from her goblet. The sweet wine tasted bitter this morning. She set it down.
"Excuse me." She said quickly, standing up from her chair. Queen Ayeka stood up, but Yosho placed a hand on her arm.
"Let me take care of the young lady, it will be good experience for the future." He said reassuringly. She smiled, and nodded. She watched him stand up and follow the young heir to the throne. Queen Ayeka felt that Yosho was the perfect choice for Tsunami. Oh how painfully wrong she was…
**************
Same time: Tenchi's house
**************
Tenchi trudged back to the house, heaving a large basket of carrots for his pet, Ryo Oki. He and Tsunami had found her in a tree five years ago, when they had been ten years old.

Flashback
**********
It was a beautiful day. The sky was that blue that made you wonder why the sky bothered to go gray. Tenchi, who was working as a stable boy at that point, was glad to have some free time. Tsunami was just glad to get out of the stuffy old castle. It was boring, nothing to do, no one to talk to. They had ventured into the woods next to the castle, just enjoying themselves. Tenchi's grandfather had packed him enough lunch to share with Tsunami. They sat down under a tree that provided plenty of shade.
"It's not the heat, it's the humidity." Tenchi said as he bit into a rice cake. Tsunami nodded as she munched on a rice cracker, chewing a bit mechanically. Just then, the duo heard a crying sound. Tenchi looked around calmly, while Tsunami did the same, only frantically.
"Did you hear that Tenchi?!" she asked. She was obviously terrified. Tenchi nodded slowly, standing perfectly still. He was using the skills that his grandfather had taught him. He looked up at the giant tree. He pointed at it.
"There." He said. He noiselessly climbed the tree. Tsunami waited impatiently, getting ready to catch him should he fall. He was lightweight, she could do it. "Aha!" he yelled. He turned around, holding a small brown creature that looked like a cross between a cat and rabbit. Tsunami clapped her hands together in delight.
"Oh it's perfectly ADORABLE!" She squealed. Tenchi smiled at his friend's happiness.
"Catch!" he yelled, tossing the cat-rabbit into the air. Tsunami caught it, and instantly hugged it. Tenchi climbed down the tree and jumped the last bit.
"Careful now, don't hug the life out of it!" he said, laughing a bit nervously. Tsunami loosened her grip.
"What should we name it, Tenchi?" she asked, looking down at its face. Tenchi shrugged.
"How 'bout Ryo Oki?" she asked. Tenchi jumped up excitedly.
"That's a GREAT name!" he cried happily. They both laughed.

*******************
Tenchi missed those times so much. He let a sigh escape his soft lips, and tried to hurry back to home.
*****************
An hour later: Jurai Castle
*****************
"And so you see, you can never have weak scum like him…" Yosho finished explaining it all to Tsunami. She shook her head, shaking away the chance of possible tears.
"You will never be like him, so don't try it!" she cried. Yosho was feeling angry now.
"I would not say such things if I were you…" he growled. Then, seeing her tears, he softened. He loved her, but not in the right way. He cupped her chin in his hand.
"Stop it!" she yelled, jerking away. Yosho smiled. She was the only woman that had ever resisted him. Maybe I am losing my touch… Nah. He thought to himself. He felt as though he was a predator, and she was his prey. Her face had a look of disgust on it. She backed away. "Stay away from me. That is an order from the Queen of Jurai! I will never marry you; you knew that from the beginning! Even if it means being alone for the rest of my life, I will not be your wife!" she cried. Then she turned around, and ran down the corridor. As she was running, she reached for her neck. She fingered the pendant that hung on a silver chain around her neck. Exactly one year ago today, Tenchi had given her the pendant. It was a fluorescent blue, just like the fairies. That was why the fairies had reminded him of her. She shut her eyes for a split second. Please help me Tenchi… she thought as she raced down the halls, Yosho so close that if he reached out his arm, he would be a hair away from her. Rage coursed through her body. Then, she ran out of strength. She slowed down, and Yosho grabbed her wrist. She did not fight the tide, because she had no strength to, it would be foolish. She felt him pull her into his arms. Suddenly, footsteps came around the corner before Yosho could let her go. They both turned around to see Queen Ayeka's advisor, Washu. She looked beside herself she was so infuriated.
"Prince Yosho, I suspected the rumors about you to be true." She said coldly as she kicked him in the side. He released his grip on Tsunami. She fell to the floor, eyes closed. Washu gently picked her up. She ran down the corridor to the dining hall.
"Queen Ayeka!" she cried…
***************
A few moments ago when Yosho was chasing Tsunami: Tenchi's house
***************
Tenchi stood in the midst of the bamboo, feeling the leaves brush up against him. He gripped his bamboo rod with both hands. He was more used to using a sword lately, but training using a rod was always good. He stood there silently. It was kind of hard to train by yourself with a sword. But with a rod… THWAP! The crack of the bamboo against the tree resounded throughout the forest. Tenchi squatted on a tree branch a few yards away from the tree that he had hit. With an ear-splitting crack, the tree tipped, landing at the base of the tree Tenchi was standing in. Tenchi grinned. He jumped down, enjoying the feel of the air rushing past him. He repeated the hitting motion with the bamboo (with deadly accuracy), until hundreds of neatly cut logs were scattered on the ground. Tenchi scratched his head.
"Next step: Get the logs to stay in one spot!" he said this aloud whilst laughing. He pulled off the basket that he kept on his back, and put the logs in, until the basket could not fit any more.
I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time
Well I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
I feel there's nothing I can do…
Yeah
I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens
Now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive then well will you be there holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite
You called me strong you called me weak
But still your secrets I would keep
You took for granted all the times I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head
If not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up,
Put you
Back on solid ground!
If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive then well will you be there holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite
If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive then well will you be there holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Yeah!
If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive then well will you be there holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite

A/N: Yeah, I know that I screwed up totally on this chapter… But I seriously had a bad case of writer's block! Oh, and THANK YOU LUNARIAN again. I would have been spelling Jurai as 'Girai', the whole time! And thank u for the real spelling of Ayeka!
Let's review: BTW, sometimes this info is new so you want to read this, k?
*Tenchi is beginning to feel that he and Tsunami are drifting apart
*Yosho is gaining more and more control over the castle
*I said that this was set in medieval times, but I really don't know what time it is now, considering the samurais, and all that.
Remember to review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
