I don't own any of the Tenchi characters, I just use them to keep myself entertained. I do, however, own Sari, if I had a scanner, I'd get some pictures of her up. This is just my way of passing the time when I'm bored in study, I write fanfiction. Don't expect anything big, if you've read my other fanfictions, you already know that I'm not the best writer. And so, with that said, enjoy the fic!

Tenchi Muyo- No Need For Another Invention Chapter 1

The birds were chirping noisily as Ayeka walked down the steps of the shrine. She had been visiting with Tenchi's grandfather, Katsuhito, when Sasami had knocked and told them lunch was ready. Ayeka watched as her sister bounced happily down the steps in front of her. Katsuhito had said he would be down shortly, while Ayeka decided to join her sister. Ayeka's thoughts were interrupted as she noticed Sasami had stopped going down the stairs and stood facing her. Ayeka stopped, also, unsure of her sisters actions.

"What's wrong, Sasami?" Ayeka asked. Sasami's arms were crossed over her chest and her face was in a frown as she looked at Ayeka.

"If you don't hurry up, it'll get cold!" She answered. Ayeka noticed she was tapping her foot against the concrete step impatiently.

"Oh! Gomen nasai!" Ayeka blushed and walked down next to Sasami. They continued to walk home, finally coming to the bottom of the stairs. "Sasami?" Ayeka asked as they walked. Sasami looked up at her sister, wondering what was wrong. "Why didn't you send someone else to get us while you kept the food warm?" Sasami sighed.

"I would have, but there's no one home." She answered.

"Where did they go?" Ayeka asked.

"You left for the shrine first thing in the morning, right after breakfast. Tenchi worked on the fields for about an hour, and then came back home. Washu, in the meantime, had just finished another invention of hers, and was waiting for Tenchi to get home to test it." She continued to explain as they entered the house. "Then Washu took Tenchi, Ryoko, and Mihoshi somewhere in the city to test it out." Ayeka nodded in understanding, the petite scientist, Washu, always seemed to enjoy testing her new inventions on her Lord Tenchi.

"So, we will be eating lunch by ourselves?" She asked, already knowing the answer.

"Yes, with jii-chan, of course!" Sasami answered. "We just have to wait for him to get here..." She said, as the two girls were seated at the already set table.

Katsuhito joined them a few moments later, and the meal was eaten mostly in silence. After lunch Sasami cleaned up while Ayeka went to watch her soap opera, and Katsuhito returned to the shrine. It was after the dishes were done that the other family members made it home. Ayeka stood to greet Tenchi when she noticed he had his arms intwined with two women. One of which was Ryoko, the other...she had never seen before, but Ayeka had noticed that she was extremely pretty. She had short lavandar hair that was all tied up neatly, and hung to the end of her neck. She had purposely left two strands of her hair hanging out in front of her ears. She was a bit shorter than Tenchi and looked around 17 years old. She wore a dress that ended just above her knees, and her dark blue eyes were brought out nicely by the light blue of her dress. Ayeka was too shocked by this sight to notice Washu and Mihoshi walk in behind them, Washu with a small grey remote in her hand.

"M--Miss Washu!!" Ayeka yelled. "I demand to know what is going on here!!"

"No need to yell, Ayeka." Washu said. "It's quite simple, I decided to toy with Tenchi's emotions and make him fall in love with the first two girls he saw." She indicated the two latched onto Tenchi's arms. "The second was supposed to be Mihoshi, but she got lost."

"It wasn't my fault I followed the wrong person..." Mihoshi defended herself. "It looked exactly like you!"

"Mihoshi..." Washu began. "Please explain to me how a thirty-seven year old male, with black hair, in a business suit, looks like me."

"Well, you look similar..." Mihoshi sweatdropped. Ayeka was too stunned to speak.

"Why?" Was all she managed to say.

"Why what?" Washu asked, as Ayeka's face turned into an angry glare.

"Why would you build such a stupid thing?!!" She yelled, towering over the girl.

"Cause I wanted to." Washu answered, smiling.

"Well then , would you mind telling me why you didn't seclude Tenchi!?!! Why did you test him in public when you could have tested him in your lab?! Or at least some place where no strangers would be around!?"

"Because I didn't want to." Washu said in a childish voice.

Tenchi, Ryoko and the new girl didn't wait and listen to the arguing, instead, they had gone for a walk with Sasami.

"It's nice to meet you Sari-chan!" Sasami said excitedly.

"It's nice to meet you, too, Sasami." Sari replied, smiling slightly.

"So, how'd you meet Tenchi?" Sasami asked.

"Oh, I saw him in Tokyo a few times, I always thought he was cute." She answered.

"Hey, Tenchi! So you mind if I walk a little while with Sari-chan?" Sasami asked.

"I guess not..." Tenchi looked sadly at the lavandar haired girl.

"I'll be back Tenchi, don't worry!" Sari winked as they walked away. Ryoko growled as she glared at Sari. Why couldn't he fall in love with me alone? She wondered silently. I'd rather have that ditz Mihoshi be the second girl, but not this whore!

"Is there something wrong, my Ryoko?" Tenchi asked.

"Oh! No...no, it's nothing." Ryoko shook her head furiously.

"There's nothing you can do to undo this?" Ayeka asked, angrily.

"Afraid not." Washu answered. "But there is one person who can do something." She finished.

"Who?" Ayeka asked curiously.

"Tenchi." Washu answered. "If his true feelings come forth, he can snap out of it. Unfortunatly, if he's already in love with the person who he's now forced to love, there is nothing we can do."

"Huh?"

"Let's say just for the purpose of explaining this so your simple mind can understand it, that Tenchi loved Ryoko and always has. There's nothing he can do to stop loving Sari, too." Ayeka sighed. "But, again, this is only for explanation purposes only..." Washu continued. "Let's say he found out tomorrow that he really loves you, then he can stop being forced to love both of the other girls."

"So if I can get Tenchi's true feelings for me out of him, then he'll be mine?" Ayeka asked.

"Yeah, I guess that's one way of putting it." Ayeka smiled.

"Thanks, Washu, you were really helpful!" She ran out of the house and was out of sight in a matter of seconds.

"Tenchi?" Ryoko asked.

"Yes?" He looked over at Ryoko from his spot on the big rock they were resting on.

"I don't know if I like this artificial love thing." She confessed.

"What are you talking about? I love you." He said, confused.

"That's what I mean..." Ryoko sighed. "I love hearing those words, but I know you're not saying them willingly." Tenchi was confused as he listened to her.

"No one's forcing me to say it, Im doing it willingly..."

"That's what you don't understand." She choked out, ready to cry. Why did that damn Washu make him do this? She wondered. "I'm sorry, Tenchi, I never should have tried to force you to love me..." She got up, ready to leave, but Tenchi quickly grasped her hand.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Ryoko." He stood up beside her, still holding her hand. " I don't know why you're acting so weird, isn't this what you've always wanted?"

"Well...yes." She answered. "But...no, not if you aren't saying it on your own will." She shook her arm free of his grasp. "I'll see you later, Tenchi." She tried to smile as she faded out, trying to hide the tears as they cascaded down her face.

"Tenchi-sama!" He heard a yell and walked toward it.

"Ayeka?" He asked upon seeing the girl frantically searching for him. "Tenchi!" She ran over and hugged him. His arms remained by his side, which upset Ayeka very much. She released him and fell on her knees, sobbing. "What's the matter?" He asked as he knelt beside her.

"You...you don't love me!" She cried as tears streamed down her rosy cheeks.

"Why, of course I do!" Tenchi assured, bringing a slight look of hope to her eyes. "You're like a sister to me, I care about you very much." Ayeka's face fell.

"That's not what I meant..." She sobbed, eyes flashing with sadness and anger. "You have to wake up!!" She yelled, slapping him across the face. Tenchi fell back, landing on his butt, holding the side of his face. "Well, I wouldn't want your love anyway if it were only forced!" She yelled.

"What do you mean, Ayeka? I love you and Sari-chan on my own will. No one's forcing me." He said as he helped her stand. "You both mean the world to me."

"Huh?" Ayeka asked, confused.

A.N- So...what do you think so far? I kinda know what I want to happen in the next few chapters, stay tuned! Oh, and I don't want continue unless I get some reviews! I'm selfish, aren't I?
