Till The Moon Dies-Day 3
By demon891
Ayeka and Tenchi had just gotten back to
sleep when suddenly there was a huge clap of
thunder and a great flash of lighting that lit
even the darkest corners of the house.
"EEP!" Ayeka yelled. Then Tenchi heard a
loud scream coming from the room that Ayeka and
Sasami shared. So he went running down the hall.
When he got into the room he saw Sasami curled up
in a ball on her bed crying.
"Sasami! Are you ok?" Ayeka asked
"The thunder scared me, I thought that I
could heard voices in it and they were evil
voices," she replied.
"Don't worry Sasami there is nothing to
be afraid of, it'll be morning before you know
it, and in the mean time why don't we all go
downstairs and talk till morning.
Suddenly the lights went off in the room
and both Ayeka and Sasami latched on to Tenchi.
"Well we can just go downstairs light
some candles and talk," he said.
They started walking down the dark hall
that was lit up by lightning every few seconds.
As they came past Ryoko's room they could hear
snoring coming from it. 'How can she sleep
through all of this' Tenchi thought to himself.
They could see a dim light coming from
downstairs. Then they saw something that they
thought they'd never see; there was a fireplace
with Washu and Noboyuki sitting around laughing
and eating popcorn that they were popping over
the fire.
"Well well, looks like we finally have
some company," Washu stated.
"Dad? What are you doing home, and in the
middle of the night?"
"Well I was at work watching the weather
and I saw this big storm coming and they said
that it might be pretty serious so I decided it
best to come home, and just as I was coming
down the side of the mountain I saw you and
Ayeka walking back in the house, I yelled hello
to you but I guess that you didn't hear or see
me," he explained.
"Oh well what's with the fire place and
the pop corn and stuff?" Tenchi asked
"Well since the power is out and I
thought it would be more fun to disable my
backup generators and gather around this
fireplace that I installed," Washu explained.
"Yes Mi..Little Washu this is a wonderful
idea," Ayeka cried. She sat down on the couch.
"Tenchi will you come sit down by me?" she
asked.
"Ok," he said nervously. He moved to the
spot where Ayeka was sitting and sat down next
to her.
"Why don't you come sit down by me
Sasami," Washu said.
"Ok, thank you Washu," Sasami replied.
She sat down by the little scientist.
Noboyuki was still working to make the
fire as big as her possibly could, he was
loading piece after piece of wood into the
fire.
They could hear the rain as it pounded
onto the window and the wind blowing in the
background. Then there was a knock on the door.
Everyone tensed up and looked at the door.
"I'll see who it is," Noboyuki said as
her walked to the door. He slowly opened the
door and then in a flash of light he saw...Azaka
and Kamadaki?
"Hello Lord Masaki, it is quite loud and
wet out there so we were wondering if we could
come in for the night," Azaka said. Everyone
took a sigh of relief.
"Well of course you can," Noboyuki said
in response. He walked back over to work on
the fire some more.
As the night went on the storm continued
on and on, but when Ayeka looked out the window
she noticed that there was no longer rain
falling from the sky, but it was now snow.
"Tenchi! Look outside it's snowing,"
Ayeka cried.
"Wow, your right Ayeka, I guess it got to
cold outside," Tenchi said.
The thunder was becoming less and less as
the night went on, and sleep had finally come
to everyone. Ayeka had fallen asleep with her
head resting on Tenchi's shoulder.
Tenchi had awoken to the sound of the
fire cracking; he looked down and saw Ayeka
sleeping with her head on his shoulder. He
smiled at this, he really didn't know whom he
loved right now, but at the time he was really
happy being next to Ayeka as she slept. He
could smell breakfast coming from the kitchen.
He gently shook Ayeka and said,
"Wake up Miss Ayeka, its time for
breakfast."
Ayeka slowly opened her eyes and looked
around. "Did I keep you awake Tenchi I'm
sorry," she said.
"No, its ok I slept fine," he said to
her. They walked out to the kitchen to find
Sasami, Noboyuki, Washu and Katsuhito all
sitting around the table watching.
"Good morning you two, how'd you sleep,"
Tenchi's father said winking at him.
"Just fine Dad," he replied annoyed.
"Tenchi! Ayeka! Look outside!" Sasami
said excitedly. They both looked out the window
to see nearly 4 feet of snow on the ground.
"WOW," they said in unison stunned.
"How when did you get down here
grandfather?" Tenchi asked.
"Just a little while ago," he replied
Later after he was done with breakfast
Tenchi wend upstairs to wake up Ryoko. He
knocked on her door but he got no reply, so he
opened it to find that she wasn't inside.
Downstairs Washu was laughing inside of
her head because she new what was about to take
place.
"Comon Ayeka lets go play outside in the
snow!" Sasami yelled.
"I'm coming calm down Sasami," Ayeka said
to her sister. Once she was ready Sasami opened
the door and ran outside, followed by Ayeka.
Tenchi had just gotten back downstairs in time
to see the First Princess of Juri get covered
in a huge pile of snow that seemed to fall from
the sky. He then heard laughing from outside.
"Hahahaha," Ryoko laughing jumping down
from the roof.
Ayeka's head shot up through the snow and
she said,"Grrr, Ryoko I will get you back for
that one." But then she remembered that she
wasn't going to fight with Ryoko anymore.
"Calm down Princess it was only a joke, I
mean its not li-," Ryoko was cut off with a
snowball in the face.
"Haha how do you like that," Ayeka yelled
as she ran further out making more snowballs.
"Now its war Princess," Ryoko said as she
flew to the roof to go to her stash of pre-made
snowballs. Then she chased Ayeka exchanging
snowballs with her.
"Well at least they can't blow anything
up with snowballs," Tenchi said as he was
putting his boots on.
Then Sasami came running inside yelling,
"Tenchi, will you help me make a snow man?"
"Sure Sasami," he replied as they walked
outside.
"Princess where are you, you know I'm
gonna get you," Ryoko said. She had been
looking for hours now and was very far out into
the Masaki property. 'I think I should head
home, I haven't seen a sign off her for hours
now.' Suddenly she fell into a hole that was
dug into the ground and hit a rope that
triggers and tree above to drop snow onto the
space pirate. "Grrrrr...AYEKA!!" she yelled from
beneath the snow. She shot herself up out of
the snow looking for the princess in the
surrounding woods, no sign of her. She decided
it would be best to fly back to the house
incase of more traps. When she got back she
noticed that nobody was outside anymore, she
walked inside to find everybody looking at her
strangely.
"Nice of you to show up Ryoko now we can
finally get our game of Risk started," Washu
yelled.
"But I was out looking for-" she was cut
off.
"For me? I came back hours ago Ryoko, I
guess your senses aren't as good as they used
to be hehe," Ayeka laughed.
"Yea, ok people lets get this game
started," Washu yelled.
Everybody went out in the living room and
set up the board game and began to play. When
it came down to the end it was Katsuhito and
Washu fighting each other for world domination.
Washu unleashed a powerful attack on
Katsuhito's forces in Africa. The attack failed
and he pulled out a massive assault on Europe
and took it quickly. Washu tensed when she saw
that he had 4 cards.
'He might have a set, and if he does then
he can kill most of my forces, and if I use my
set and try and kill him there is a chance that
I wont and I will be weak enough to destroy'
she thought to herself.
She decided to turn her set in and gained
a massive amount of armies. She began her
assault on Lord Katsuhito. She got him down to
one territory, she rolled the dice to try and
take it. She rolled a 6,6,6. He would need to
roll a six to defeat her forces, but he only
could use one dice instead of three. He picked
rolled it in his hand for a while and then
tossed it onto the ground. It bounced around
for a few seconds. It almost stopped on the 6,
but instead rolled over once more onto the 5.
"YAHOO!!" Washu screamed. "I WON, I BEAT
YOU OLD MAD, TAKE THAT!!!"
"Whose old," Katsuhito said under his
breath.
"What'd you say!?" Washu yelled.
"Oh nothing," he replied. "I better be
getting back to the shrine." He left the room
and began the accent to the Masaki Shrine.
"Well that was fun, to bad I didn't win,"
Ryoko said.
"Well you did better than me," Ayeka
said.
"It was your first game you really didn't
think that you were gonna win did you," she
replied.
"No, I suppose I didn't," Ayeka sighed.
"I think that I'll start a fire today to
keep the house a little warmer," Tenchi said.
"I'll help you Tenchi I am really good at
making fires," Ryoko said.
"I be you are," Ayeka said to herself but
Ryoko overheard, but decided not to respond.
Ryoko ran outside then ran right back in
with a big stack of wood in her hands. While
this was happening Ayeka decided that she would
go take a walk in the snow. She put her boots
on and told Sasami that she would be home
before dinner. She left the house and started
walking to Funaho, the great tree that once
belonged to her brother Yosho. She sat down
under it in the snow. She just wanted to be
aloe to think about things. She knew that
tomorrow she and Tenchi would be going to see
the new James Bond movie together, which made
her happy. But she couldn't help but wonder if
Tenchi was really in love with Ryoko and not
herself. Lately he hadn't seemed as bothered by
her as he used to be. While she was thinking
these things she dazed off.
Back at the house Ryoko and Tenchi had
just go the fire started.
"Whew, that's finally done," Tenchi,
sighed.
Washu walked out of her lab and said,
"You guys think you could have used more
matches to start that thing?" Washu said
sarcastically.
"Sorry MOM, you think you could have done
a better job?"
"Why of course, I got it started last
night in a few seconds," she replied.
"Well I mean without using some fancy
invention of yours," Ryoko commented.
"Tomorrow Ryoko, I will build you the
biggest fire you have ever seen," she said.
"Well why don't we just put this one out
and then you can do it right now?" Ryoko said
"NO! I just put an hour into that fire
and you aren't putting it out!" Tenchi
protested.
"Ayeka awoke from her nap after about a
half an hour. 'I must have dowsed off' she
thought to herself. 'I think I better be
getting back home before anyone starts to worry
about me' She started walking back to the house
but it was very hard considering that there was
now almost 4 feet of snow on the ground. It was
high up on her and it was very hard to walk.
'How am I going to get back home' she thought
to herself.
Tenchi walked out in the kitchen and sat
down on a chair.
"Hey Sasami do you know where Ayeka is?"
he asked.
"She went for a walk, she said she would
be back before dinner," the princess replied.
"Ok, thanks," Tenchi said. He decided to
go up to his room to take a rest before dinner.
But when he was about half way up the stairs he
heard somebody yell his name.
"Tenchi! Where are you going, it is time
for sword practice," Katsuhito said.
"What!? You have to be kidding me there
is like 4 feet of snow out there and its still
coming down!" he replied in s shocked state.
"Well I guess you'll need to work a
little harder now wont you," Katsuhito replied.
"Ok let me go get changed into something
a little warmer he said. As soon as her opened
his door, Ryoko jumped up and latched onto him.
"Hello my Tenchi have you come to join
me," she said in a sly voice.
"Not right now Ryoko, I don't have time
for this, I need to go practice," he replied
annoyed.
"But there is 4 feet of snow on the
ground," she said.
"Yea I know," he said putting a warm
shirt on over his other shirt. "Grandpa doesn't
really care." He walked out of the room and
down the stairs.
'Damn, now what am I gonna do' she
thought to herself. She decided that she would
just take a nap to waste the rest of the day
away.
Ayeka was having a lot of trouble getting
through the high snow.
"Dammit," she swore. "I'll just have to
go back to Funaho and hope that somebody comes
looking for me," she said to herself.
Tenchi could barley move in the snow and
then he was thinking how Ayeka was doing on her
walk. Suddenly a "TWACK" right on his head made
him aware of what was going on outside of his
head.
"Ouch, come on grandpa this is
ridiculous, I can't even move," he said.
"But there is something else on your mind
isn't there Tenchi?" he grandfather responded.
"I was thinking that Ayeka is out on a
walk in this snow, and I can't even move so I'm
wondering if she is ok," he replied.
"You have my permission to leave early to
go and find her," Katsuhito said.
"Thank you grandfather," Tenchi said
running off.
Ayeka was having trouble staying awake,
she felt dizzy and lightheaded. She thought she
heard something from the distance.
"Ayeka! Ayeka! Where are you," she heard.
Tenchi could now see Ayeka from a hill as
she lay under the cover of Funaho.
"Ayeka!" he yelled. It seemed that she
could not hear him, so he pulled out Tenchi-ken
and suddenly all of the snow around him melted
from the energy given off by the sword. When he
got to her he shook her lightly and said,
"Ayeka! Ayeka! Wake up!"
"T Tenchi is that you," she said softly.
"Are you ok Ayeka?" he asked.
"I feel dizzy and tired," she replied.
He placed his hand on her forehead. She
was burning up! He removed his coat and rapped
he up in it.
"Don't worry Ayeka, everything will be
ok, I promise," he said.
"Hey has anyone seen Tenchi or Ayeka?"
Washu said.
"Tenchi was out practicing and Ayeka was
going for a walk, but she should have been back
by now," Sasami said worriedly.
Night was approaching quickly and once
the sun went down it would become frigid
outside.
"Ryoko!" Washu yelled. "Can you go out
and look for Tenchi and Ayeka?"
"Yea sure no problem," Ryoko responded
and then phased through the roof out into the
cold air. First she went to the shrine to ask
Katsuhito if he knew where they were.
Tenchi had found a few sticks on the
ground under the tree and then remembered that
he still had matches in his pants pocket from
when he and Ryoko were starting the fire. He
put all the sticks together and then lit them.
By now he was starting to feel faint from the
cold, but Ayeka needed his coat more than he
did right now.
"Ayeka, come on over to the fire," Tenchi
said.
"Thank you Tenchi, I'm sorry for causing
you so much trouble," she said sadly
"Its ok Ayeka, this isn't your fault and
we'll get out of here just fine," he said
smiling. She smiled back at him; she knew that
he would not lie to her so he believed what she
said.
All that Ryoko knew right now is that
Tenchi had gone out about 2 hours ago to look
for Ayeka. She flew over the valley looking for
some sign. Then in the distance she saw a faint
light shining through the heavy falling snow.
"Tenchi, there you are. Hold on a little
longer," she said to herself.
Tenchi could feel himself ready to daze
off but he heard a voice in his head,
"Tenchi, stay awake a little longer."
"Mother?" Tenchi said.
"What did you say Tenchi?" Ayeka asked.
"Nothing, I was just talking to myself,"
he replied.
Then he looked up in the sky and saw
something moving towards them, he could quite
make what it was. Then he realized it was
Ryoko.
"Ryoko!" Tenchi yelled. Ayeka looked up
and saw her too. She was relived that Ryoko was
coming. They had become good no beast friends
lately.
"Tenchi," Ryoko yelled as she landed.
"Are you two ok?" she asked.
"Ayeka is burning up and I am beginning
to feel a little faint myself," he said.
"Don't worry I'll get you both home." She
picked up Ayeka and placed her over one of her
shoulders and then did the same thing with
Tenchi.
Once they got back to the house Ryoko
rushed them into Washu's lab.
"Place them on those beds over there!"
Washu yelled. Ryoko laid them both down on
different beds. Washu cam running over to them
and Tenchi said,
"Washu please take care of Ayeka first
when I got to her she was burning up with a
fever.
"Ok, Ryoko you insert this IV into
Tenchi's arm, I'll take care of Ayeka," the
scientist yelled.
Back in the main living room, Sasami,
Noboyuki and Ryo-oki waited nervously. After
what seemed like hours Washu and Ryoko came out
of the lab.
"Little Washu!" Sasami yelled. "Are they
ok!"
"They'll be fine, they both caught a case
of the flu, but they should be fine in about a
week," she explained.
"Oh Thank you Washu," Sasami said.
"Its not me you should be thanking, it
was Ryoko who found them and got them back
here," Washu said
"I do, Thank you soooo much Ryoko," the
little princess ran up and hugged her.
Noboyuki walked up to Ryoko and said,
"Thank you for saving my son Ryoko."
She just looked at him and smiled.
"Well now I think it is time to eat
something, we cab bring them food when they
wake up but I think that they should be out for
a while," Washu stated.
Everyone went out to the kitchen to eat
the dinner that Sasami had prepared. After they
were done Washu told Ryoko to go into her lab
to check up on Ayeka and Tenchi. When she got
there she found that Tenchi was awake.
"Ryoko, I want to thank you for saving
mine and Ayeka's lives," he said to her.
"Oh don't worry about it, it was nothing.
Just helping out around the house," she said.
"Anyways I brought you your dinner."
"Thank you," he said. "Just leave Ayeka's
here with me I'll give it to her when she wakes
up."
"Ok, I'll be back later to check up on
you two again," she said.
"Alright goodbye, and thank you again
Ryoko."
Ryoko walked out of the room happy, happy
to know that she had done something good,
something that didn't hurt anybody. She sat
down on the couch with Sasami, Washu and
Noboyuki.
"How are they holding up?" Washu asked
"Tenchi seemed ok and Ayeka was still
asleep, but I left Ayeka's dinner with him and
he said that he would give it to her," Ryoko
replied.
Back in the lab Ayeka had just woken up.
"How are you feeling Ayeka?" Tenchi
asked.
"A little better, I want to thank you for
saving my life Tenchi," she said
"Thank you, but I don't deserve all of
the credit, be sure to thank Ryoko it was her
who got out of there," Tenchi explained.
"I will," she responded.
"I have some dinner for you Ayeka,"
Tenchi said. He handed it over to her and she
placed it on the small tray that was over her
bed. She began to eat it.
"What were you doing out there anyways?"
Tenchi asked.
"I just wanted to be alone to think to
myself for a little while."
After she was done eating she talked to
Tenchi for a little. Then they both fell
asleep.
"Ok Sasami I think its time for bed,"
Ryoko said.
"Ok, ummm Ryoko will you sleep in my room
with me until Ayeka gets better, I don't like
to be alone," Sasami asked.
"Sure Sasami, lets both go get ready for
bed it's been a long day," Ryoko said. They
both started to ascend the stairs.
"Well looks like it's just you and me
then," Washu said.
"Yup, you want to watch a movie or
something?" Noboyuki asked.
"Sure why not," Washu replied.
They put on a movie that was given to
them last Christmas from a Washu from a
different dimension at their big Christmas
party. It was called 'From Juri With Love'.
When the movie ended Noboyuki said,
"That was quite an odd movie now wasn't
it."
"Yes it was, but kinda funny, maybe I'll
show it to Tenchi tomorrow
"Well I think that I'll be going to bed
now, goodnight Little Washu,"
"Goodnight Lord Noboyuki," she replied.
'This gives me an idea for a Christmas gift. I
will use the same idea, but mine will have no
flaws!' she thought to herself. She then went
into her lab checked Ayeka and Tenchi's Vitals
once then began work on her latest invention.
Notes: Hey this is the end of day 3. How do you
like it so far, I know this one is kinda long
but I have a feeling the next one will be even
longer sorry, you'll just have to put up with
it. I would like to thank Thomas 009 Doscher
aka "Davner" for the two stories that I used in
chapter. He is also the main reason that I
decided to start writing Tenchi fanfiction. I
will have all of this posted on my website once
I can regain access to it. Some stupid firewall
is keeping me from going to any geocities site,
but if you want the link its
http://www.geocities.com/zero_2k6
Thanks for reading I'll get started on the next
chapter right away. Just like always send all
comments and questions to demon_891@yahoo.com
besides the ones that I came up with are
property of AIC and Pioneer, please don't sure
me I have no money to give. The Christmas party

Ayeka and Tenchi had just gotten back to
sleep when suddenly there was a huge clap of
thunder and a great flash of lighting that lit
even the darkest corners of the house.
"EEP!" Ayeka yelled. Then Tenchi heard a
loud scream coming from the room that Ayeka and
Sasami shared. So he went running down the hall.
When he got into the room he saw Sasami curled up
in a ball on her bed crying.
"Sasami! Are you ok?" Ayeka asked
"The thunder scared me, I thought that I
could heard voices in it and they were evil
voices," she replied.
"Don't worry Sasami there is nothing to
be afraid of, it'll be morning before you know
it, and in the mean time why don't we all go
downstairs and talk till morning.
Suddenly the lights went off in the room
and both Ayeka and Sasami latched on to Tenchi.
"Well we can just go downstairs light
some candles and talk," he said.
They started walking down the dark hall
that was lit up by lightning every few seconds.
As they came past Ryoko's room they could hear
snoring coming from it. 'How can she sleep
through all of this' Tenchi thought to himself.
They could see a dim light coming from
downstairs. Then they saw something that they
thought they'd never see; there was a fireplace
with Washu and Noboyuki sitting around laughing
and eating popcorn that they were popping over

"Well well, looks like we finally have
some company," Washu stated.
"Dad? What are you doing home, and in the

"Well I was at work watching the weather

that it might be pretty serious so I decided it
best to come home, and just as I was coming
down the side of the mountain I saw you and
Ayeka walking back in the house, I yelled hello
to you but I guess that you didn't hear or see
me," he explained.
"Oh well what's with the fire place and
the pop corn and stuff?" Tenchi asked
"Well since the power is out and I
thought it would be more fun to disable my
backup generators and gather around this
fireplace that I installed," Washu explained.
"Yes Mi..Little Washu this is a wonderful
idea," Ayeka cried. She sat down on the couch.
"Tenchi will you come sit down by me?" she
asked.
"Ok," he said nervously. He moved to the
spot where Ayeka was sitting and sat down next
to her.
"Why don't you come sit down by me
Sasami," Washu said.
"Ok, thank you Washu," Sasami replied.
She sat down by the little scientist.
Noboyuki was still working to make the
fire as big as her possibly could, he was
loading piece after piece of wood into the
fire.
They could hear the rain as it pounded
onto the window and the wind blowing in the
background. Then there was a knock on the door.
Everyone tensed up and looked at the door.
"I'll see who it is," Noboyuki said as
her walked to the door. He slowly opened the
door and then in a flash of light he saw...Azaka
and Kamadaki?
"Hello Lord Masaki, it is quite loud and
wet out there so we were wondering if we could
come in for the night," Azaka said. Everyone
took a sigh of relief.
"Well of course you can," Noboyuki said
in response. He walked back over to work on
the fire some more.
As the night went on the storm continued
on and on, but when Ayeka looked out the window
she noticed that there was no longer rain
falling from the sky, but it was now snow.
"Tenchi! Look outside it's snowing,"
Ayeka cried.
"Wow, your right Ayeka, I guess it got to
cold outside," Tenchi said.
The thunder was becoming less and less as
the night went on, and sleep had finally come
to everyone. Ayeka had fallen asleep with her
head resting on Tenchi's shoulder.
Tenchi had awoken to the sound of the
fire cracking; he looked down and saw Ayeka
sleeping with her head on his shoulder. He
smiled at this, he really didn't know whom he
loved right now, but at the time he was really
happy being next to Ayeka as she slept. He
could smell breakfast coming from the kitchen.
He gently shook Ayeka and said,
"Wake up Miss Ayeka, its time for
breakfast."
Ayeka slowly opened her eyes and looked
around. "Did I keep you awake Tenchi I'm
sorry," she said.
"No, its ok I slept fine," he said to
her. They walked out to the kitchen to find
Sasami, Noboyuki, Washu and Katsuhito all
sitting around the table watching.
"Good morning you two, how'd you sleep,"
Tenchi's father said winking at him.
"Just fine Dad," he replied annoyed.
"Tenchi! Ayeka! Look outside!" Sasami
said excitedly. They both looked out the window
to see nearly 4 feet of snow on the ground.
"WOW," they said in unison stunned.
"How when did you get down here
grandfather?" Tenchi asked.
"Just a little while ago," he replied
Later after he was done with breakfast
Tenchi wend upstairs to wake up Ryoko. He
knocked on her door but he got no reply, so he
opened it to find that she wasn't inside.
Downstairs Washu was laughing inside of
her head because she new what was about to take
place.
"Comon Ayeka lets go play outside in the
snow!" Sasami yelled.
"I'm coming calm down Sasami," Ayeka said
to her sister. Once she was ready Sasami opened
the door and ran outside, followed by Ayeka.
Tenchi had just gotten back downstairs in time
to see the First Princess of Juri get covered
in a huge pile of snow that seemed to fall from
the sky. He then heard laughing from outside.
"Hahahaha," Ryoko laughing jumping down
from the roof.
Ayeka's head shot up through the snow and
she said,"Grrr, Ryoko I will get you back for
that one." But then she remembered that she
wasn't going to fight with Ryoko anymore.
"Calm down Princess it was only a joke, I
mean its not li-," Ryoko was cut off with a
snowball in the face.
"Haha how do you like that," Ayeka yelled
as she ran further out making more snowballs.
"Now its war Princess," Ryoko said as she
flew to the roof to go to her stash of pre-made
snowballs. Then she chased Ayeka exchanging
snowballs with her.
"Well at least they can't blow anything
up with snowballs," Tenchi said as he was
putting his boots on.
Then Sasami came running inside yelling,
"Tenchi, will you help me make a snow man?"
"Sure Sasami," he replied as they walked
outside.
"Princess where are you, you know I'm
gonna get you," Ryoko said. She had been
looking for hours now and was very far out into
the Masaki property. 'I think I should head
home, I haven't seen a sign off her for hours
now.' Suddenly she fell into a hole that was
dug into the ground and hit a rope that
triggers and tree above to drop snow onto the
space pirate. "Grrrrr...AYEKA!!" she yelled from
beneath the snow. She shot herself up out of
the snow looking for the princess in the
surrounding woods, no sign of her. She decided
it would be best to fly back to the house
incase of more traps. When she got back she
noticed that nobody was outside anymore, she
walked inside to find everybody looking at her
strangely.
"Nice of you to show up Ryoko now we can
finally get our game of Risk started," Washu
yelled.
"But I was out looking for-" she was cut
off.
"For me? I came back hours ago Ryoko, I
guess your senses aren't as good as they used
to be hehe," Ayeka laughed.
"Yea, ok people lets get this game
started," Washu yelled.
Everybody went out in the living room and
set up the board game and began to play. When
it came down to the end it was Katsuhito and
Washu fighting each other for world domination.
Washu unleashed a powerful attack on
Katsuhito's forces in Africa. The attack failed
and he pulled out a massive assault on Europe
and took it quickly. Washu tensed when she saw
that he had 4 cards.
'He might have a set, and if he does then
he can kill most of my forces, and if I use my
set and try and kill him there is a chance that
I wont and I will be weak enough to destroy'
she thought to herself.
She decided to turn her set in and gained
a massive amount of armies. She began her
assault on Lord Katsuhito. She got him down to
one territory, she rolled the dice to try and
take it. She rolled a 6,6,6. He would need to
roll a six to defeat her forces, but he only
could use one dice instead of three. He picked
rolled it in his hand for a while and then
tossed it onto the ground. It bounced around
for a few seconds. It almost stopped on the 6,
but instead rolled over once more onto the 5.
"YAHOO!!" Washu screamed. "I WON, I BEAT
YOU OLD MAD, TAKE THAT!!!"
"Whose old," Katsuhito said under his
breath.
"What'd you say!?" Washu yelled.
"Oh nothing," he replied. "I better be
getting back to the shrine." He left the room
and began the accent to the Masaki Shrine.
"Well that was fun, to bad I didn't win,"
Ryoko said.
"Well you did better than me," Ayeka
said.
"It was your first game you really didn't
think that you were gonna win did you," she
replied.
"No, I suppose I didn't," Ayeka sighed.
"I think that I'll start a fire today to
keep the house a little warmer," Tenchi said.
"I'll help you Tenchi I am really good at
making fires," Ryoko said.
"I be you are," Ayeka said to herself but
Ryoko overheard, but decided not to respond.
Ryoko ran outside then ran right back in
with a big stack of wood in her hands. While
this was happening Ayeka decided that she would
go take a walk in the snow. She put her boots
on and told Sasami that she would be home
before dinner. She left the house and started
walking to Funaho, the great tree that once
belonged to her brother Yosho. She sat down
under it in the snow. She just wanted to be
aloe to think about things. She knew that
tomorrow she and Tenchi would be going to see
the new James Bond movie together, which made
her happy. But she couldn't help but wonder if
Tenchi was really in love with Ryoko and not
herself. Lately he hadn't seemed as bothered by
her as he used to be. While she was thinking
these things she dazed off.
Back at the house Ryoko and Tenchi had
just go the fire started.
"Whew, that's finally done," Tenchi,
sighed.
Washu walked out of her lab and said,
"You guys think you could have used more
matches to start that thing?" Washu said
sarcastically.
"Sorry MOM, you think you could have done
a better job?"
"Why of course, I got it started last
night in a few seconds," she replied.
"Well I mean without using some fancy
invention of yours," Ryoko commented.
"Tomorrow Ryoko, I will build you the
biggest fire you have ever seen," she said.
"Well why don't we just put this one out
and then you can do it right now?" Ryoko said
"NO! I just put an hour into that fire
and you aren't putting it out!" Tenchi
protested.
"Ayeka awoke from her nap after about a
half an hour. 'I must have dowsed off' she
thought to herself. 'I think I better be
getting back home before anyone starts to worry
about me' She started walking back to the house
but it was very hard considering that there was
now almost 4 feet of snow on the ground. It was
high up on her and it was very hard to walk.
'How am I going to get back home' she thought
to herself.
Tenchi walked out in the kitchen and sat
down on a chair.
"Hey Sasami do you know where Ayeka is?"
he asked.
"She went for a walk, she said she would
be back before dinner," the princess replied.
"Ok, thanks," Tenchi said. He decided to
go up to his room to take a rest before dinner.
But when he was about half way up the stairs he
heard somebody yell his name.
"Tenchi! Where are you going, it is time
for sword practice," Katsuhito said.
"What!? You have to be kidding me there
is like 4 feet of snow out there and its still
coming down!" he replied in s shocked state.
"Well I guess you'll need to work a
little harder now wont you," Katsuhito replied.
"Ok let me go get changed into something
a little warmer he said. As soon as her opened
his door, Ryoko jumped up and latched onto him.
"Hello my Tenchi have you come to join
me," she said in a sly voice.
"Not right now Ryoko, I don't have time
for this, I need to go practice," he replied
annoyed.
"But there is 4 feet of snow on the
ground," she said.
"Yea I know," he said putting a warm
shirt on over his other shirt. "Grandpa doesn't
really care." He walked out of the room and
down the stairs.
'Damn, now what am I gonna do' she
thought to herself. She decided that she would
just take a nap to waste the rest of the day
away.
Ayeka was having a lot of trouble getting
through the high snow.
"Dammit," she swore. "I'll just have to
go back to Funaho and hope that somebody comes
looking for me," she said to herself.
Tenchi could barley move in the snow and
then he was thinking how Ayeka was doing on her
walk. Suddenly a "TWACK" right on his head made
him aware of what was going on outside of his
head.
"Ouch, come on grandpa this is
ridiculous, I can't even move," he said.
"But there is something else on your mind
isn't there Tenchi?" he grandfather responded.
"I was thinking that Ayeka is out on a
walk in this snow, and I can't even move so I'm
wondering if she is ok," he replied.
"You have my permission to leave early to
go and find her," Katsuhito said.
"Thank you grandfather," Tenchi said
running off.
Ayeka was having trouble staying awake,
she felt dizzy and lightheaded. She thought she
heard something from the distance.
"Ayeka! Ayeka! Where are you," she heard.
Tenchi could now see Ayeka from a hill as
she lay under the cover of Funaho.
"Ayeka!" he yelled. It seemed that she
could not hear him, so he pulled out Tenchi-ken
and suddenly all of the snow around him melted
from the energy given off by the sword. When he
got to her he shook her lightly and said,
"Ayeka! Ayeka! Wake up!"
"T Tenchi is that you," she said softly.
"Are you ok Ayeka?" he asked.
"I feel dizzy and tired," she replied.
He placed his hand on her forehead. She
was burning up! He removed his coat and rapped
he up in it.
"Don't worry Ayeka, everything will be
ok, I promise," he said.
"Hey has anyone seen Tenchi or Ayeka?"
Washu said.
"Tenchi was out practicing and Ayeka was
going for a walk, but she should have been back
by now," Sasami said worriedly.
Night was approaching quickly and once
the sun went down it would become frigid
outside.
"Ryoko!" Washu yelled. "Can you go out
and look for Tenchi and Ayeka?"
"Yea sure no problem," Ryoko responded
and then phased through the roof out into the
cold air. First she went to the shrine to ask
Katsuhito if he knew where they were.
Tenchi had found a few sticks on the
ground under the tree and then remembered that
he still had matches in his pants pocket from
when he and Ryoko were starting the fire. He
put all the sticks together and then lit them.
By now he was starting to feel faint from the
cold, but Ayeka needed his coat more than he
did right now.
"Ayeka, come on over to the fire," Tenchi
said.
"Thank you Tenchi, I'm sorry for causing
you so much trouble," she said sadly
"Its ok Ayeka, this isn't your fault and
we'll get out of here just fine," he said
smiling. She smiled back at him; she knew that
he would not lie to her so he believed what she
said.
All that Ryoko knew right now is that
Tenchi had gone out about 2 hours ago to look
for Ayeka. She flew over the valley looking for
some sign. Then in the distance she saw a faint
light shining through the heavy falling snow.
"Tenchi, there you are. Hold on a little
longer," she said to herself.
Tenchi could feel himself ready to daze
off but he heard a voice in his head,
"Tenchi, stay awake a little longer."
"Mother?" Tenchi said.
"What did you say Tenchi?" Ayeka asked.
"Nothing, I was just talking to myself,"
he replied.
Then he looked up in the sky and saw
something moving towards them, he could quite
make what it was. Then he realized it was
Ryoko.
"Ryoko!" Tenchi yelled. Ayeka looked up
and saw her too. She was relived that Ryoko was
coming. They had become good no beast friends
lately.
"Tenchi," Ryoko yelled as she landed.
"Are you two ok?" she asked.
"Ayeka is burning up and I am beginning
to feel a little faint myself," he said.
"Don't worry I'll get you both home." She
picked up Ayeka and placed her over one of her
shoulders and then did the same thing with
Tenchi.
Once they got back to the house Ryoko
rushed them into Washu's lab.
"Place them on those beds over there!"
Washu yelled. Ryoko laid them both down on
different beds. Washu cam running over to them
and Tenchi said,
"Washu please take care of Ayeka first
when I got to her she was burning up with a
fever.
"Ok, Ryoko you insert this IV into
Tenchi's arm, I'll take care of Ayeka," the
scientist yelled.
Back in the main living room, Sasami,
Noboyuki and Ryo-oki waited nervously. After
what seemed like hours Washu and Ryoko came out
of the lab.
"Little Washu!" Sasami yelled. "Are they
ok!"
"They'll be fine, they both caught a case
of the flu, but they should be fine in about a
week," she explained.
"Oh Thank you Washu," Sasami said.
"Its not me you should be thanking, it
was Ryoko who found them and got them back
here," Washu said
"I do, Thank you soooo much Ryoko," the
little princess ran up and hugged her.
Noboyuki walked up to Ryoko and said,
"Thank you for saving my son Ryoko."
She just looked at him and smiled.
"Well now I think it is time to eat
something, we cab bring them food when they
wake up but I think that they should be out for
a while," Washu stated.
Everyone went out to the kitchen to eat
the dinner that Sasami had prepared. After they
were done Washu told Ryoko to go into her lab
to check up on Ayeka and Tenchi. When she got
there she found that Tenchi was awake.
"Ryoko, I want to thank you for saving
mine and Ayeka's lives," he said to her.
"Oh don't worry about it, it was nothing.
Just helping out around the house," she said.
"Anyways I brought you your dinner."
"Thank you," he said. "Just leave Ayeka's
here with me I'll give it to her when she wakes
up."
"Ok, I'll be back later to check up on
you two again," she said.
"Alright goodbye, and thank you again
Ryoko."
Ryoko walked out of the room happy, happy
to know that she had done something good,
something that didn't hurt anybody. She sat
down on the couch with Sasami, Washu and
Noboyuki.
"How are they holding up?" Washu asked
"Tenchi seemed ok and Ayeka was still
asleep, but I left Ayeka's dinner with him and
he said that he would give it to her," Ryoko
replied.
Back in the lab Ayeka had just woken up.
"How are you feeling Ayeka?" Tenchi
asked.
"A little better, I want to thank you for
saving my life Tenchi," she said
"Thank you, but I don't deserve all of
the credit, be sure to thank Ryoko it was her
who got out of there," Tenchi explained.
"I will," she responded.
"I have some dinner for you Ayeka,"
Tenchi said. He handed it over to her and she
placed it on the small tray that was over her
bed. She began to eat it.
"What were you doing out there anyways?"
Tenchi asked.
"I just wanted to be alone to think to
myself for a little while."
After she was done eating she talked to
Tenchi for a little. Then they both fell
asleep.
"Ok Sasami I think its time for bed,"
Ryoko said.
"Ok, ummm Ryoko will you sleep in my room
with me until Ayeka gets better, I don't like
to be alone," Sasami asked.
"Sure Sasami, lets both go get ready for
bed it's been a long day," Ryoko said. They
both started to ascend the stairs.
"Well looks like it's just you and me
then," Washu said.
"Yup, you want to watch a movie or
something?" Noboyuki asked.
"Sure why not," Washu replied.
They put on a movie that was given to
them last Christmas from a Washu from a
different dimension at their big Christmas
party. It was called 'From Juri With Love'.
When the movie ended Noboyuki said,
"That was quite an odd movie now wasn't
it."
"Yes it was, but kinda funny, maybe I'll
show it to Tenchi tomorrow
"Well I think that I'll be going to bed
now, goodnight Little Washu,"
"Goodnight Lord Noboyuki," she replied.
'This gives me an idea for a Christmas gift. I
will use the same idea, but mine will have no
flaws!' she thought to herself. She then went
into her lab checked Ayeka and Tenchi's Vitals
once then began work on her latest invention.
Notes: Hey this is the end of day 3. How do you
like it so far, I know this one is kinda long
but I have a feeling the next one will be even
longer sorry, you'll just have to put up with
it. I would like to thank Thomas 009 Doscher
aka "Davner" for the two stories that I used in
chapter. He is also the main reason that I
decided to start writing Tenchi fanfiction. I
will have all of this posted on my website once
I can regain access to it. Some stupid firewall
is keeping me from going to any geocities site,
but if you want the link its
http://www.geocities.com/zero_2k6
Thanks for reading I'll get started on the next
chapter right away. Just like always send all
