Author's notes: If they seem a little OOC don't get angry. I apologize. This my first Fanfic and it's meant to be multi part so don't make fun of me. This story is a slight crossover, but only between the 3 Tenchi series. (If it crosses with the movies I wouldn't know) I also don't know if it happens to be similar to any other fics so if it does. I'm sorry.

I am simply borrowing them for the time being so don't sue me. This story line is however mine and mine alone. I also own the song "All I Want©" Both are copy righted by me.

(Author Notes)

"Tenchi, it's been six months. You're going to have to get over this." Sasami sat across the table from Tenchi trying to get him to stop crying. "I know Sasami and I thank you for trying to help me, but it's just not the same around here without her." Suddenly Washu comes busting through her lab door began telling Tenchi "Well Tenchi I got you the perfect Christmas gift and it'll be here in two days" "Uhh O.K. Washu. Can I ask you what it is though?" "Ryoko's coming to visit. I coxed her into coming under one condition though..." "What do we gotta do for her Washu?" Asked Sasami. "Well she has to bring her fiance" Washu mumbled. Tenchi and Sasami just stared at her for about five minutes before Tenchi spoke up "Her fiancée, Washu?" "Yes Tenchi it seems that Ryoko has met someone and they're going to stop by for Christmas."

"Well I'm glad Ryoko's happy." Sasami chimed in trying to break the silence. "Yes I'm very glad to see my daughter happy.... O h and Tenchi the real reason I'm here is I need to see you in my lab. I promise no samples." "O.K. I'll be there in a minute." Washu walked into her lab and left. Tenchi got up to follow, but not before waving good bye to Sasami. Little did he know that Sasami saw the tear in his eyes.

* * *

"So she has a fiance now?" Tenchi sat across from Washu in her lab speaking of the latest events. "Yes, Tenchi she has." "How long have you known?" "I've known since he asked her. Ryoko met him at a party when she left." "Oh, well how come you never told any of us?" "Tenchi that's what I wanted to talk to you about. You're the only one who doesn't know. Everyone's only been acting surprised." Washu finished the last sentence quietly. "Why didn't you tell me? Why was this kept a secret from only me?" Tenchi stood up screaming at what he had just found out. "TENCHI SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, AND LISTEN TO ME!" Washu sat and tried to count to ten after getting so worked up.

"She didn't want you to know Tenchi. I told you her your reaction to her leaving and she was worried. In fact I didn't even think you could take it either." "Washu what makes you think I couldn't take it?" "To put it plainly your becoming to worried about her and you won't move on. I mean you two were just friends." Tenchi just looked at her. He couldn't believe what she had just said. "I suppose you could be right. I just was worried if she was O.K. or not." "Well she'll be here in probably about less then 2 days. Ryo-ohki has gained a lot of speed. I couldn't believe she didn't want to come back to Sasami."

* * *

"Ryoko, can you come here a sec?" Asked Ryoko's new fiance. "On my way dear." Came Ryoko's voice echoing through Ryo-ohki. "What is it you want?" Ryoko asked. "This" He then grabbed Ryoko and kissed her to get the effect he wanted. He made her blush a very deep shade of red. "You just get your kicks from embarrassing me, don't you Dagger?" "Oh, yes, very much." Dagger kissed Ryoko again. "A little less then 2 days and you will finally get to meet my mother and my friends." Ryoko said. "Yes, exactly what I wanted. I'm especially looking forward to meeting prince Tenchi." "You maybe, but I'm not. Not after our last encounter." "He has no idea what he lost." "He didn't lose anything Dagger." "Yes, he did. He lost you and that would be enough to tear me apart. Of coarse you have to remember I'm not dumb enough to love anyone else, but you."

"If you say so. I mean he just found out about us a few hours ago." Said Ryoko as she walked to her chair. "If he loves the princess like you say he does then it shouldn't matter. Should it?" Replied Dagger "No, it shouldn't, but according to Washu.." Ryoko was cut off by Dagger, "Mother not Washu. I don't want a repeat of last time you called her by her name." Ryoko and Dagger each chuckled at the thought.

~FLASHBACK~

"I guess your right Washu." Said Ryoko. "What did you call me?" Boomed Washu. "Oh uhh I mean mother." "Yes, see much better. Oh and Dagger the same now goes for you too." "Yes I understand *mother*" said Dagger. Emphasis on mother.

~END FLASHBACK~

"Well that's my mother for you." "Soon to be our mother, and your going to be Mrs. Dagger Tran." "Hmm, you can't say that often enough, Mr. Tran." Dagger and Ryoko shared a long passionate kiss before Ryoko finally decided to stop it before they went to far. (A/N: this is not a LEMON!) Dagger just gave her gave a questing look. "Sorry Hon, but I've told you before. Not until the wedding night. If things don't go as hoped." Dagger just sighed and asked "Is it my fault such a beautiful woman keeps taunting me?" "Yes it is. You chose her over billions of others. It's all your fault." Replied Ryoko. "So I chose you and you didn't choose me?" "Well maybe it was a little of me, but you were so cute and I couldn't stop from saying yes." Once Ryoko was done she winked at him and walked away. All Dagger could say though was "That's MY Ryoko."

* * *

Tenchi was pacing around in his room thinking about Ryoko and her getting married. 'It seems only like yesterday she was floating above my bed, glomping me, watching my every move. I never thought I'd say this, but I've missed it all so much.' He walked over to his bed and flopped face down. 'I'm should be happy Ryoko found someone, but for some reason I can't even fake a smile. I've got to see so pathetic, she's going to be here any minute and all I can think about is how I feel.' Tenchi hadn't even realized her was crying. He had no idea what was going on inside him emotionally so crying wasn't even there.

While Tenchi was in deep thought he didn't see the little red headed genius walk in. Washu sat down next to Tenchi waiting for him to acknowledge her. After ten minutes of silence Tenchi spoke "So she's really fallen in love with this guy, huh?" Washu only gave him a simple nod and a reassuring pat on the back. Tenchi had to work up the nerve to ask Washu "She's not pregnant or anything is she?" Washu looked at him with her green eyes and told him with an as neutral look as possible "No, she's not pregnant, but she is getting married and you are going to have to overcome the fact that eventually she will have kids Tenchi. She wants to settle down and be happy. Now she has someone who is going to stay with her forever, she's actually happy for a change." "I understand Washu, but why? Why did she have to go out and find someone she loves more than she did me? Why now, when I've starting coming to terms with how I feel about her." Washu took a deep breath and sighed before replying "Tenchi it's not her who left. You just never came to her. She waited for you, for 3 years Tenchi and she waited alone. You're the only one that has ever really been there for her."

"Tenchi gave everything Washu had said a moment to sink in. The thoughts of how bad he had hurt her was more the enough to make him cry on the spot. 'This is one of those times I wish I was like Ryoko and able to keep a straight face.' thought Tenchi. Tenchi started laughing at the irony of everything he said, "You know what Washu, I tried to get away and hide from here, but now she's gone away from me and I'm in her place wanting her as well as hide again from everything and everyone." "Tenchi I know it's hard to understand. You miss Ryoko and you have discovered your feelings for her, but only too late. Ryoko has been through so much pain, but now when she's happy with someone else, you understand where you went wrong and she went right." Tenchi sighed cutting Washu off before she could say anything else. "Well as I was saying Tenchi you know where you went wrong, but do you know what you should have done?" "Washu I know most of what I should have done, but I may never figure it all out." Washu pulled out a CD that was titled Missing You Mixes by Washu Hakubi. "What am I supposed to do with this?" Tenchi asked. "Listen it might tell you something you don't know, but you have to listen to this whole thing." "I promise Washu." "Good now I'll leave you here it's a long CD."

Washu left the room knowing she really shouldn't have given him that CD. `What that CD contained is going to hurt someone in the end` thought Washu. `I'm just not sure who. `

Tenchi put on his headphones and turned on the CD Washu had given him. He had no idea what was on there just that it might be important to getting Ryoko back. The first thing he heard was the voice of Washu she was saying "This is Washu Hakubi with an introduction to the CD Missing You Mixes. This was written to eventually be given to My daughter as a wedding gift if she married her one true love. Hope your listening well enough. Enjoy!" She was finished and her little speech had already made Tenchi cry. The tracks went like so...(A/N: Most songs were not authors choice, but were appropriate for this CD)

1. Intro by Washu

2. Never Say Never by Brandy

3. Quit Playing Games with My Heart by BSB

4. Gone by N*sync

5. Can't get you out of my head by kylie minouge

6. Candy by Will Smith

7. In the End by Linkin Park

8. My Sacrifice by Creed

9. All I Want by Ryoko Hakubi

10. Outro by Washu Hakubi

Ryoko's song made Tenchi's heart break when he heard it. All of her feelings had been poured into that song and he felt horrible afterwards. Her song went like so...

All I've ever asked for was you

All I've ever dreamed of was you

All I've ever needed was you

All I've ever wanted was you

I've asked for one thing and you were it

I was denied you love and I never got one bit

I've got my feelings for you and

I'll never let them go

If they're never returned

I'll never say so

I'll dream of times I spent with you

If only dreams came true.... Cause...

All I've ever asked for was you

All I've ever dreamed of was you

All I've ever needed was you

All I've ever wanted was you

The times we spent together

Alone or in a crowd

I was still with you

Thinking of only you and me

Together...cause your..

All I've ever asked for

All I've ever dreamed of

All I've ever needed around

All I've ever wanted was you

All I've ever wanted was

you (repeats and fades)

Then came "Washu here I hope you enjoyed my CD. Ryoko your husband better not hurt you or else they're going to become a water spite faster then they can apologize!

"Ryoko how could I?" Was all Tenchi was able to say.

* * *

`You're WHAT!?` Washu thought. Her and Ryoko talking on the link.

`Yes I am. ` Ryoko said

`You told him haven't you? `

`Yes I have and he has his own reasons for doing this too`

`You know this is wrong Ryoko. `

`Yes I do, but Dagger's a big boy he can handle it. `

`And what if Tenchi doesn't say anything are you still going to marry Dagger? `

`Yes, Dagger loves me and wants to see me happy and that's just how it is. We will marry if Tenchi feels nothing for me. `

`I don't know if he does Ryoko. He hasn't smiled since you left and he almost seemed heartbroken when he found out about you and Dagger, but he doesn't show it for very long. `

`I was afraid of that. I will miss him if Dagger and me marry. `

`You will be here after breakfast right? `

`Yes we will`

`O.K. goodnight Ryoko`

`Night mom`

They closed the link and Ryoko fell into a deep slumber next to her beloved Dagger. Or so it seems.

* * *

Meanwhile...

"Love you say? I never thought our top agent would stoop as low as to fall in love with a target." Said a sinister sounding voice "It's is not stooping my lady at least not in my opinion. I'm asking to be permanently withdrawn from this organization." Dagger said. "I have respect for you so I will allow you to leave for this petty love quest. I do have 2 warnings for you though. I will not stop until an agent is killed trying to capture the Hakubi family and if you get in our way you will be considered one of them. If you do change your mind though and you do not get in the way, there will be a place for you to come back to." Replied Her Ladyship (A/N: Just for now) "I do not wish to come back" Dagger told her "I wish to stay with how things are going for me." "And if Ryoko does not marry you?" "I shall be happy for her and become a close friend of the family." Dagger said with more confidence then before. "You have condemned your own fate Dagger Teako Tran. You may leave and never return." Her Ladyship said snarling. "Good-bye my lady" and with that he vanished.

Dagger appeared in his and Ryoko's room on the Ryo-ohki. He was glad to see she was asleep because he still hadn't told her he had the same powers as her. Now he was withdrawn from 'The Organization' as it was called. Before Dagger rejoined his doppelganger he knelt next to Ryoko and promised to protect her from whatever they threw at them. He was there for her for as long as he lives. He kissed her forehead then reconnected with his other half falling into a quiet slumber next to Ryoko, the one he knew he might not be able to have, but still be close to.

Well that's all folks. Yeah on the Semi short side, but it'll due. On a side note some people thought Tenchi was going to throw Ayeka out in the last chapter. It was only that everyone was getting angry with one another. Remember to review. Flamers will have to deal with the characters if they decided to jump from the page and harm the flamer reading this. I take no responsibility if reality becomes altered. Next chapter: Strengthening the bond
