Chapter two: The Date
Tenchi came home, from the shrine, and dodged another explosion from a fight with Ayeka and Ryoko. Kiyone and Mihoshi were home.
"Tenchi, Tenchi!" Mihoshi cried, "You'd never guess who's-"
Kiyone covered her mouth.
"We just saw a famous J-pop singer at work that's all," Kiyone said.
"Really? Who?" Tenchi asked.
"Uh...Hikaru Utada. Washu's looking for you."
Tenchi nodded and walked down the hall toward Washu's lab. Washu opened the door.
"Come in quick, I have to officially retire you as my lab rat today," she said, pulling him in.
"What?"
***
Ayeka managed to find a way to end the fight with Ryoko. Ayeka stormed into Sasami's room, where Yugi was. She was finally going to tell Yugi what was on her mind, Tenchi was going to be her's whether Sasami or Yugi liked it or not.
"Yugi! I want you to stop this nonsense now! Tenchi is the love of my life, and I don't want you interfering!" Ayeka cried. Yugi gave Ayeka a blank look.
"Well? Don't you understand? I don't want you to-"
"Why does Jurian royalty always take the things I love the most," Yugi asked her, "All I wanted for the past ten years I've been asleep is to be with Tenchi again."
"But how can that be? You weren't Sakuya."
"Sakuya was a projection of my feelings. I did love Tenchi."
Ayeka was taken aback. She softened her expression and put her hand on Yugi's shoulder.
"I won't discourage you from loving Tenchi. But be aware, you are my rival now," Ayeka said with a smile. Yugi nodded.
"Thank you Ayeka."
***
Sasami and Ryo-oki were working on dinner.
"Ooooh this is my best work yet!" Sasami cried.
"What are you making Sasami? It looks good," Tenchi asked.
"Nothing in particular, but there's going to be a surprise at dinner!"
Tenchi gave her a puzzled look. She continued cooking and paid him no mind. He shrugged and went upstairs to his room. When Sasami was sure he was in his room, she called all the girls to the kitchen.
"Okay everyone, I know you all have your special feelings for Tenchi," she began, "But this date is something I want Yugi to have. I don't want you all to bother her tonight. This is the one chance she'll have to be alone with Tenchi, no interruptions. And I don't care how long it takes for them to finish NO ONE will bother them, understand?"
"Totally!" Kiyone said.
"Sounds reasonable," Ayeka replied. Ryoko looked stunned.
"How can you all just say that? Tenchi will be taken from us for sure!" Ryoko cried.
"Tenchi isn't going anywhere, he cares for us regardless of who comes into his life," Sasami said.
"Just what do you know about love, Sasami? Have you ever been in love?"
"Yes, hasn't everyone?"
"Who did you think about all the time?"
"I thought about him, and I still do! But does that mean I don't care for you and everyone else the same way?"
"You don't understand, I want Tenchi to feel that way about me!"
"And how long have you been trying? You can't force him to love you! No matter how much you press him!"
"No, I want Tenchi and Tenchi only!"
Ryoko stormed away. Sasami was very angry and she went back to cooking in a huff. As everyone left she slowed down. Ryo-oki looked at her sadly as Sasami gazed out the window.
"Shikiro...will I ever see you again?"
***
Tenchi came downstairs for dinner.
"You're having dinner on the patio tonight, Tenchi," Sasami said. Tenchi went outside and saw two places set, and a young woman with blond hair was sitting at one of them.
"Hello, are you one of Sasami's friends?" Tenchi said.
"Yes," she replied. She turned to face him. Tenchi was frozen, those eyes, that face, it could only be...
"Sakuya?" Tenchi blurted out. She lowered her eyes and shook her head.
"Yugi, but if you really prefer Sakuya, I'll go by that."
"No Yugi's fine. So...what did you dream about while you were asleep?"
***
The other girls and Yosho were eating dinner in a very tense atmosphere. Ryoko kept giving Sasami deathly looks, and Sasami was in a daze of some sort. Yosho picked up his food and left.
"It is not good to eat in such a hostile place," he said as he got up. Sasami continued to be in a trance like state.
"What's the matter little Sasami? What I said finally sinking in?" Ryoko said mockingly. Sasami got up and left the table.
"Can't handle the fact that I'm right?"
"You're wrong! You are wrong, wrong, WRONG! Tenchi will always care for us no matter what! You just have to believe that!" Sasami cried.
"I want Tenchi's undying love! Not his general care for me!"
"Well, you'll never have it! Just like I will never have Shikiro's!"
"What?"
Sasami had already bolted out the door, tears streaming down her face. Ayeka ran towards the door, and then stopped. It was no use, Sasami had to sort this out on her own.
"Shikiro..."
