A.N.: I am an avid Tenchi/Ryoko fan, but this has been clattering around in my head for awhile, so... This is the result.

Disclaimer: I do not own Tenchi Muyo! or anything thereof.

Delicate Balance


He wasn't supposed to choose.
No, really. He wasn't.
Three lives depended on his choice - or lack thereof. A delicate balance had been forged
the day Ayeka and I fell for this boy named Tenchi Masaki. I thought this balance would be
eternal; It would never be shifted one way or another...Tenchi would stay as the fulcrum, and
never come close to either side of the scale.
But he did.

I love Tenchi. I have always wished for the day when he'd "pick" me. I think about him
constantly, I dream about him endlessly. For his love. For his life.
And one day, my dream came true.
But it wasn't supposed to happen.

The balance that had been perched precariously on the hearts of three people came
crashing down. It shattered as if it were glass.
And the pieces drove deeply into the hearts of all three.

My heart exults while my soul weeps.

The delicate balance is gone. In its place is despair and anguish.

...He wasn't supposed to choose.




Well, that's it... I told you it was short! Hopefully the first installment of three, possibly more... Depends on the
reactions I receive! ::wink wink::
