Tenchi no Ketsueki: Chapter one

Well it has been years since I updated this puppy, and to be truthful I really feel bad, bad, bad. However I will now be taking the time to rewrite this story as well as my other stories in progress. So please forgive me and enjoy the newly reworked and (hopefully better written first chapter of the newly renamed Tenchi no Ketsueki.


Tenchi/dbz/sm crossover

It was a dark, cold snowy winter night; stars were not very visible, animals all hidden away from the harsh cold, and humans' desperately seeking out ways to out smart the cold. However the snow blanketed everything it could land on, creating and beautiful wonderland to look at.

Although even thought the winter night was beautiful, inside the house of a well to do family there was nothing wonderful to hear. Governess Serenity was making her daughter get married whether she wanted to or not. The family was on their last funds and the marriage would once again put the Luna family back in the higher circles of society.

"Usagi you will marry prince Darien or else you will be…"

"But mother I do not want to marry him he is not the one I love." Usagi pleaded to her mother but her heart-rending pleads only fell on def ears.

"You are leaving tomorrow morning and that is the end of he conversation young lady, you shall not ruin the reputation of this family by refusing the proposal!" Governess Serenity left the room not paying attention to the tears her daughter let flow.

Usagi ran out of her room, down the main hall, grabbing her cloak on the way out and went to the garden where she wept by the lakes side, she did not even feel the coldness of the air or the snow blanket her.

In another part of the grand estate another young girl was receiving similar news that young Usagi had just received from her mother, only the news came from the father.

"That is final young lady I don't care if you do not want to marry Tenchi he is from a wealthy family and that is all that matters." Sasmai's father said retreating back to his study so he would not have to hear his daughter's words and tears.

"Father I do not love Governor Tenchi." Her father left paying attention. Sasami ran out of the house hoping to find her friend Usagi and tell her the dreadful news and maybe receive some sort of counsel that her father was unwilling to provide. She went to the home of Usagi but did not knock on the door; but from the corner of her eye she saw Usagi sun gold hair and convulsing body at the lake.

"Usagi why are you crying?" Sasami asked wiping her own tears away as she approached the crying young women. Usagi not turning to see her friend's tears answered the question.

"My mother is making me marry prince Darien, only I do not want to marry him." Usagi turned to see Sasami hastily wiping the tears from her face and for the moment Usagi forgot her own pain.

"Why are you crying Sasami?" Usagi asked holding out her hand for Sasami to hold and the two sat in the snow not caring they were going to ruin their kimonos.

"My father wants me to marry Governor Tenchi the one who works for prince Darien only I as well don't want to marry him my father is making me I am to leaving tomorrow morning." Sasami explained falling into Usagi embrace and cried a little more.

"I as well am leaving tomorrow morning as well Sasami; we might as well travel together since we are to suffer the same fate." Usagi smiled sadly and hugged the tearful Sasami. Usagi being a little older than Sasami had always been more of a mother to her than Sasami's step mother and the affection Usagi gave was a welcomed comfort to the young girl.

When the two got up from the ground do to finally feeling the cold get to them, they immediately asked there parents for permission to travel together since they were heading in to the same place anyway. The parents agreed to let the girls travel together and sent the two on their way the next morning. The journey would take three days by horses if the weather held up. The girls said good-bye to their parents and began their journey.


"Usagi, why don't you want to marry prince Darien, surly he could provide for you?" Sasami asked a few hours later into their journey.

"I do not love him Sasami simple as that." Usagi answered sadly.

"Why don't you want to marry lord Tenchi?" Usagi asked trying to get her mind from the sadness she felt.

"For the same reason as you lady Usagi it's not for love, but love is something that only lives in fairy tales." Sasami sighed.

"Well I am tired; I never really liked the harshness of the day believe it or not I prefer the soft caress of the night young Sasami." Usagi sighed and closed the curtains in the carriage blocking out the sunlight.

"I as well lady Usagi, daytime is lovely but the night holds a mysterious beauty that the day could never have." Sasami smiled.

The two fell asleep, despite the bumpiness of the ride. The ladies woke up at dusk after the driver insisted that he rest. He set up his small camp near the carriage and fell asleep. It was during that time Usagi had some to a decision, one that would surly change her future for better or for worse she did not know, but she knew that going to the prince to become nothing but his barer of his children to live a life of confinement was not her, and as she looked over to the restless Sasami, Usagi knew it was not the younger girl's fate either.

The girls waited till the driver was surly sleep, and quietly gathered a few things and ran into the protectiveness' of the coming night. The only light they had was the fading sun that was about to be covered by bulging dark rain clouds, it was soon to rain. The girls ran as fast as they could, not caring where they went so long as it was not with the prince or the governor.


In a castle

"Well you chased away my dinner again! You call your self my guardian Son Gohan?" Prince Trunks asked sarcastically sipping crimson liquid that came from what was once a young maiden's vein. The young prince made a face the liquid was cold and he placed the gold goblet back on the table.

"Well they were only children and you act too much like your father young prince." Gohan said looking at the moon rise, slowly being covered by clouds.

"Does your sight see any one coming our way?" Trunks asked impenitently, he was tired of eating leftovers.

"Let me see, how about some fog to help any lost and weary travelers find their way here." Gohan laughed and his usually coal dark eyes glowed a feverish ruby color. Fog seemed to roll into the forest from now where making things barely visible.

"Lady Usagi we need to find a place to stay it's too hard to see anything." Sasami said her breath ragged from running.

"You are right." Usagi grabbed Sasami's hand keeping her close not wanting to be separated. Usagi saw a light in the distance and made her way to it. The light shined from a window from a castle, the gate was open and so was the large oak door. Using both of their strength the girls managed to open the doors with little fuss. Usagi and Sasami went inside just missing the start of the pouring rain. In the entrance hall was beautiful the chandelier was made of crystal and a long stair way laced with crimson carpet. The walls were decorated with tapestries and different kinds of elaborate paintings.

"Wow this place is beautiful." Sasami whispered but Usagi heard.

"I agree who ever lives here must be very well to do." Usagi said also looking around; she went up the stairs followed closely by Sasami.

Gohan and Trunks came out of the secret room in their invisible form watching the two girls explore. Gohan eyes landed eyes landed on the girl whose golden hair was up into two-pig tails with little odangos. Her night blue eyes sparkled, her rosy cheeks glow with the rush of her blood. The young blond walked right passed him and into a bedroom where he followed her. Sasami kept walking as Usagi went into the room.

Trunks followed other young woman. She had forest green hair that was in long pigtails and lovely pink eyes. Trunks stood in awe of her beauty he had never seen any one like her before. She walked into another room down the hall from Usagi's room and entered; Trunks entered after her and shut the door.
