Author's note: This is my first attempt at a Tenchi fic, so be kind. This is supposed to take place sometime after Tenchi Universe.

It was a very calm day, which was unusual for the certain house in which Tenchi lived, being stalked by the girls that lived with him. Tenchi was with Sasami and Ryo-Ohki in the carrot patch, Washu had sealed herself in her lab, Mihoshi was seated on the couch, reading a magazine, Kiyone and Ayeka had made themselves useful by cleaning the kitchen, and Ryoko was up in a tree, attempting to sneak in a nap. From her perch she could see Tenchi, Ryo-Ohki, and Sasami, busily harvesting carrots. She stretched out on her branch, then dozed off.

Above earth-
A dark gray colored spaceship hurtled through space, out of control. The ship was almost shaped like a giant spike ball, with sharp points going in every direction. Inside, loud, painful meowing was coming from the ship. Standing in front of the main view screen, a young woman stood with both hands on two floating spheres. Her long, almost spiky lavender hair reached her thighs and was partly tied up with a dark gray hair tie. The ship shook again, almost knocking her over.
"Miy-Ohki! What's wrong with you?? Why can't you regain control??"
The ship shuddered again.
"MEEEEEOWWWWWW!" came its pitiful wail of pain.
The young woman looked up to see a blue and green planet in the view screen. They were going to crash.
"Miy-Ohki! We're going to crash! Hang on, I'll try to get us out of it!"
She desperately tried to pull her and her ship away from the planet, but the controls weren't responding.
"It's not working! Once we're in the atmosphere, I'm going to jump out, then you can go back to Cabbit form, and you might not be injured too much from the fall! Don't die on me, Miy-Ohki!" She ran out of her post and to the exit. She continued to watch the view screen, waiting for just the right moment...
"NOW!" She slammed on the "Open" button, opening the door. The wind sucked her though, throwing her away from her ship.
"MEEEEEEEOOOOWWWWWW!!" the ship wailed in distress, then seemingly disappeared.

Ryo-Ohki, in cabbit form, was happily munching away on a carrot when one ear picked up. She stopped munching and turned to where she heard the sound.
"Meow?"
Sasami stopped working and turned towards Ryo-Ohki. "What is it Ryo-Ohki? Do you hear something?"
Tenchi also stopped. "Is someone coming?"
Ryo-Ohki turned towards the forest. "Meow!" she meowed at them, then started running full speed.
"Ryo-Ohki!" called Sasami as she and Tenchi started to run. "Wait for us!"
All the noise woke up Ryoko. She turned to see Ryo-Ohki running into the forest, followed by Sasami and Tenchi. 'Well,' she thought. 'If Tenchi's going, I'd better go too.' With that, she got up and jumped down from the branch, following the running group.
Ryo-Ohki ran a couple yards, then stopped. Sasami, Tenchi, and Ryoko stopped beside her. Ryo-Ohki sniffed the air, then lifted her ears like little radars, searching for noise. She then bounded forward again, and the rest followed.

The young woman slowly pushed herself up from the ground with her right arm. A long scratch ran down her cheek. When she managed to get on her feet, she let out a small groan of pain. The tree broke her fall. Unfortunately, so did her left arm. Her tight, dark gray tank top, which only went to the bottom of her ribcage, had a large tear along her back. Her tight, gray pants, however, seemed untouched except the dirt from the ground. Favoring her left arm, she unsteadily walked in a random direction. "Miy-Ohki! Miy-Ohki, where are you?!"
A couple minutes later, she did find Miy-Ohki. The dark gray cabbit was lying on her stomach, eyes half closed, both sets of feet sprawled out, and ears flat. Almost tripping over a log, the young woman ran over to her and got down on her knees, gently picking up the cabbit. "Miy-Ohki! Are you alright?"
The cabbit just weakly meowed in reply.
The young woman rested the cabbit in the nook of her right arm, then started to walk again. "Hang on, I'm going to find us a safe place to rest, at least until you get better."
She kept on walking until she heard a yell coming from behind her.
"Ryo-Ohki! Wait for us!"
Glancing behind her, the young woman couldn't see anyone. Her nearly lime green eyes darted around. Then, without a moment's hesitation, ran forward. The going was slow, with her left arm hanging at her side and her right arm holding her cabbit. Swerving around trees, jumping over logs, and ducking under leaves slowed her down even more. Her hair occasionally caught on branches, which she had to untangle and lost a lot of distance between her and her pursuers. While she was attempting to untangle her hair for the fifth time, a brown cabbit, just a little bigger than hers, burst from a bush and stopped just a few feet away from her. The young woman froze. The cabbit looked up at her, then arched its back, ears straight up, and hissed. Managing to untangle her hair, she turned and ran just as three humans ran up to the cabbit. She didn't stick around to see what the humans looked like. She turned and ran, still trying to get away.
"Ryo-Ohki! Wait! You're heading straight for the cliff!"
Sure enough, the young woman slid to a halt just before she reached the edge. She was trapped.
The brown cabbit appeared a second later, followed by the humans.
The young woman set Miy-Ohki down behind her, then stretched her right arm in front of her, her hand in a fist. A thin red beam came from her palm, getting longer until it passed her head. She swung it in front of her, warding off her pursuers.
"Stay away! I'm warning you!"
The humans kept coming. Panic settling in, she saw a smaller human, female, about 11 or 12 years old. She had long blue hair that was in pigtails. The young woman jumped close to her, put her in a headlock with her good arm, then jumped back. The cabbit and the male of the group, who had short black hair except for a small ponytail in the back, stepped forward. She tightened her headlock on the girl, who was squirming to get free.
"Tenchi!" she cried.
Just then, Miy-Ohki bound forward and arched her back, ears straight up, and hissed at them, protecting her master and her hostage. She kept her right front paw up and off the ground, despite being in obvious pain. Ryo- Ohki jumped in front of her, also hissing.
While the two cabbits were having their hissing fight, Tenchi sized up his opponent. To his surprise, she appeared to be a 15-year-old girl that looked a lot like Ryoko.
It was Sasami's squirming that knocked the teenager off balance. She instinctively stepped back to stable herself, but instead stepped over the edge. The sudden falling made her cry out in surprise, and let go of Sasami to grab onto the edge with her right hand. Sasami fell out of Tenchi's sight.
"Sasami!"
Both cabbits stopped hissing and ran to the edge, along with the other two humans, and looked down.
The teenager was hanging on by one hand. Sasami clung onto her feet with an almost vice-like grip.
"Tenchi!"
"Sasami! Hang on!"
