Hi everyone! This is my first Tenchi Muyo fanfic, so hope it does well! This fic has the manga characters
in it, so if you haven't read the manga, go read it now(after you read this and review of course)!

Disclaimer:I don't own anything from the series/manga.

Chapter 1: Double Take

It was a beautiful morning at the Masaki Shrine. The girls had come to watch grandpa and
Tenchi train. Wahsu was typing in data on Tenchi's power, Ayeka and Ryoko were fighting about
who Tenchi loved better, Sasami and Mihoshi were talking about how good Tenchi and grandpa was at the
martial arts, and Ryo-ohki entertained herself with a carrot. In other words everything was going fine,
well, until she came.

"Tell me, are you the one who defeated Kagato?" a woman, who looked EXACTLY like Ryoko except she had two
scars[?] on her cheeks, demanded Tenchi.

He paused. Ryoko hadn't seen her double yet, she was too busy trying to piss Ayeka off but was having
trouble because Ayeka wasn't paying any attention to her. Tenchi finally spoke up but didn't answer her
question,"Who are you and what do you want?". That's when Ryoko turned her attention to their visitor.

"I said are you the one who defeated Kagato?"

"Listen beautiful, he asks you who you are! So tell us!" If Ryoko was surprised to see a double of herself
she sure didn't show it in her voice.

"You must be Ryoko" The double said, her eyes widening, "I've heard a lot about you."

"Have you? From who?"

[okay, you get "..."is speaking right?okay. they are going to start talking in a different lang. now(I'll
explain later in the story *if I get enough reviews*)so I'm putting the translation like this "'...'" so
if you see something like this "'..'.." the words in the single quotes is translation so tenchi&co.,
exept Ryoko and double, can't understand that part]

"'My master'"

"'And who would that be?'"

"'A master swordsman'"

"Hey Ayeka, do you have any idea of what in the world their saying?" Tenchi asked the princess.

"No, Lord Tenchi, I have no clue whatsoever."

"'There are plenty swordsmen in the universe!' Which one?!" Ryoko couldn't hide her frustration toward
the double.

"'Why should I tell you?'"

"Arg, I've had enough!" Ryoko's gave up trying to reason verbally with her so she fired a whole bunch of
energy blasts at her.

The double easily dodged them and brought out her sword. Ryoko did likewise, creating a light sword.
They fought [i wont bore you with details] for about 5 minutes exchanging energy blasts and clashing
their swords. They were evenly matched.

"'You're better than I thought you would be,'" the double stated, Ryoko smirked, "'but you're not good
enough.' Lighting Strike!" A lighting bolt came from her sword and struck Ryoko down into the lake. "Time
for the final strike, Lighting Strike!" Another lighting bolt came from her sword and into the water were
Ryoko was.

"No! Miss Ryoko!" Sasami yelled out, Ryo-ohki on top of the girl's head cried out for her master. Mixed
cries came from the group watching helplessly. 'Oh Ryoko' Washu thought somberly.

"Now where was I? Oh yes, now, boy, show me the power of the Lightning Eagle Sword!"

"Hold it!" and Ryoko came from behind the double surprising her totally.

"'How did you get away from my attack?!?'"

"It's called teleportation" she hit the double right into the ground leaving her unconscious.
