The sun rose up over the masaki shrine. Tenchi awoke to the smell of breakfast. He got dressed and walked down stairs to see the others eating. Except Ryoko.

"Where's Ryoko?" Tenchi asked, Sasami just walked in from the kitchen caring a bowl of rice. "She ate already then took off for a walk ten minutes ago. Is something wrong?" Sasami sat as Tenchi sat down and shook his head. After Tenchi finished his breakfast, he went back upstairs to get ready for training with Grandfather.
'Ryoko's been acting strange lately. She's never around when I wake up. well except that one time I caught her watching me sleep.' Tenchi thought to himself as he got dressed. He ran downstairs and out the door as he slipped on his shoes. Aeka saw him rush out.

'I hope he enjoys his training, Oh Lord Tenchi, There's so much i want to tell him but...' Ayeka thought as Sasami poured some tea for He older sister, Washu, and herself. Ryo-ohki jumped up on top of Sasami's head.

^.^ "Hello RyoChan!" Sasami greeted the cabbit. "Meooow." she greeted back. "Princess Ayeka, are you okay?" Ayeka lost her thought of Tenchi. "Oh! Yes i'm fine, Miss Washu."
"Good. Sasami this tea is wonderful, but it's different then the regular tea you make, what kind is this?" Complimented Sasami.
"It's Oolong tea with a drop of lemon juice." Sasami replied happily.
"Mmmm. I'm proud of you Sasami." Smiled Aeka.

Tenchi walked along the path to the Shrine. As he walked up the stairs he saw Ryoko talking to Yosho. Tenchi knew this couldn't be good. So he walked slower and kicked a rock to get their attention but looking like he didn't mean to. Just then Ryoko turned to see Tenchi and smiled, Yosho turned to Tenchi and walked toward him.

"So are you ready to start training Tenchi?" Yosho asked the young man.
"Yes, Grandfather." he replied.
Ryoko approched Tenchi and Grandfather.
"Hello Tenchi, I hope you enjoy your training, cuz i'll be your training partner. Just for today though."
"Really? Umm.. well..."
"Don't worry. I won't bite you." Ryoko winked.

Tenchi steadied his wooden sword as did Ryoko. Ten minutes passed as they swung and blocked. Tenchi swung upward and connected the sword with Ryoko's cheek. Making a small cut in her cheek.

"OH NO. Ryoko are you okay?" Tenchi Worried.
"Heh i'm fine Tenchi it's only a scratch." Ryoko brought the sword up from her side so quickly. Tenchi blocked it with out thinking, which surpised Ryoko.
An hour flew by. Tenchi was off the hook. He set down his sword and wiped the sweat off his face with his towl. Tenchi noticed that Ryoko didn't even break a sweat, which made him feel kinda stupid and offend, but he reminded himself that Ryoko's been doing this for thousands of years and he's been doing way less then 17 years. Yosho congratulated Tenchi for surviving Ryoko. Ryoko ignored him as he walked back to the shrine. Ryoko sat down next to Tenchi and was going to start talking to him till something up in the trees rustled then fell down in front of them.
*THUD*
Tenchi and Ryoko jumped up, Tenchi grabed his sword and Ryoko formed hers in her hand. Both were in attack mode.
"OW!!" A young girl stood up. She wore a pair of dark blue jeans, a white t-shirt with along sleeved light blue plaided opened shirt(Button up kind).
She had a necklace on but only the silver chain was showing. She had short hair an odd blue color to it, and her bangs were two black face length strans.She also wore a teal colored backpack. She rubbed her head from falling then looked up at Ryoko and Tenchi.

"Sorry, did i scare ya?" She nervously laughed.
Tenchi lowered his sword "Are you okay. You fell pretty far."
The girl smiled, "I'm okay." Ryoko stepped forward with her sword still drawn, "What are you doing here?" She asked in a mono tone.
"Oh i'm here to see Miss Washu an' I heard fighting so i came to check it out but you guys were just practicing."
Ryoko vanished her sword and walked to Tenchi's side. "Well Washu's in the house. How do you know her?" Ryoko asked.
"I'm family" she replied.
"What's your name?" Tenchi asked her as he offered to show her to Washu. They headed down the path way.
"My name is Kijo" Kijo awnsered.
"Oh. That means... Demoness in japanese" Tenchi blurted out.
"I ...know" Kijo looked around at the trees as they walked to the Masaki home.
"I'm sorry, i didn't mean to..." Tenchi was cut off by Kijo.
"Heh, it's fine. I grew up being teased about it so i'm well use to it by now," She smiled. Ryoko said nothing, just kept an eye on her.
"By the way, I'm Tenchi and this is..." Tenchi inform her of his name then was about to tell her the Ex-Space Pirate's.
"Ryoko....right? I heard about you. Alot!!." Kijo giggled, "Your well known even to this day. 7 hundred years can't erase your name from peoples lips."

Whatcha Think?!? I rewote it from No need for a new girl!! I like it more now! I changed her name, wrote the die-olog diff and didn't set the important events so closely (you'd understand if you read No need for a new girl.)
