Tenchi Muyo: New Blossomings
Chapter 1 Things Change
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
The singing of the birds could be heard all around as he walked up the same steps he had thousands of times.
Petals of the sakura trees could now be seen falling to the steps leading to the Masaki Shrine.
As the seasons were changing so was the Masaki household.
Tenchi Masaki a young man barely 18 years old may have seen these sights a great many times but their beauty was not lost on him.
He breathed deeply taking in the scent of the forest all around him. He enjoyed these long walks because it seemed like the only time he had any peace anymore.
His thoughts turned to the five women who were now inhabiting his house. That is before he was quickly snapped back to reality by the sound of his Grandfathers voice.
"Tenchi!"
"HUH! Oh grandpa good morning" said a slightly startled Tenchi.
"You look like you have quite a few things on your mind Tenchi" Katsuhito eyed him up and down giving him a wry smile.
"Or maybe just one person...er thing"
"Oh geeze not you too" Tenchi sighed.
"Well when I was your age if I had had a bunch of gorgeous women around me at all times I would have done something about it. If you know what I mean"
"Can you even remember that far back? "
WHACK!
"OWOWOW"
Tenchi stumbled back clutching his head where the bokken had made contact.
"Tenchi you must always respect....."
"I know I know your elders. "
"No, a man who is carrying a big stick. "
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
At the lake across from Tenchi's home a taxi cab was just pulling up. As the door opened a young man roughly Tenchi's age stepped out. Over his right shoulder he had flung a very large nap sack.
"This'll be fine I can walk from here" he said to the driver.
After the cab had sped of and the dust had cleared he began to walk twords the steps of the Masaki Shrine.
"Damn that's a lot of steps. "
Ten minutes later he was nearing the top. He began to hear the war cries of an older man followed by another, more familiar, voice. Quickly he stashed his bag in a small clearing nearby. Then continued up the steps till he reached the top. There, two men were fighting with wooden swords in a style he had never seen before. He became mesmerized by the fluid motions of the swordplay he now saw. Even though these two men were fighting with all they had the movements were like that of a dance. He recognized Tenchi right away. Although he had never seen the other man he was sure this was who he was looking for.
What he saw next would amaze him further still. Right as Tenchi lunged at the old man and brought his bokken down above his head. From nowhere came a strange light from between Tenchi and the old man. The next instant Tenchi was thrown several feet through the air and to the ground. Thinking his friend might be hurt he quickly to run to his side.
"Hey! Grandpa since when do we use energy attacks during practice? " yelled Tenchi.
"You must be ready for anything your enemy may try Tenchi" said Katsuhito calmly.
"Yeah sure I think you were just mad I was beating you..." whispered Tenchi under his breath.
"What was that Tenchi? "
"Nothing grandpa. "
Just then Tenchi noticed a familiar face rushing twords him.
"Hey, Takeo! "
"Tenchi are you all right? "
Tenchi quickly rose to his feet while rubbing the back of his head.
"Oh, uh we were just sparring"
"But what was that...." He was interrupted by Katsuhito
"Tenchi introduce me to your friend"
"Oh Grandpa this is Takeo Tanimizu he's one of my classmates from school. Takeo this is my grandfather Katsuhito Masaki, priest and caretaker of the Masaki Shrine."
"Nice to meet you Takeo. Tell me what brings you here? "
Suddenly Takeo clasped his hands together and bowed his head.
"Please honorable Katsuhito-sama allow me to become your apprentice and learn the ways of the Shinto priest! "
Tenchi stumbled back and raised his eyebrow
"Say whaa?"
Katsuhito just stood and crossed his arms while looking Takeo up and down.
He was a strong looking young man and probably the type to play sports. About the same hight as Tenchi if not a bit taller.
He had short black hair and was wearing a yellow short sleeve T-shirt with the symbol "A! " surrounded by a black circle.
"Hmmm. Tenchi I need to speak with your friend in my office for a moment. Continue your exercises. "
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
20 minutes later
Tenchi was more than slightly worried by the thought of what might come from Takeo talking with his grandfather. He could just imagine Takeo getting in between Ryoko and Ayeka while they were fighting and being blown to bits. But he shook it off, there was no way his grandfather would be crazy enough to hire him with the girls around. Even if he had been speaking about finding someone else to help with shrine duties. Tenchi had hoped his grandfather would hire more help for some time now, the truth was he hated his shrine duties but didn't have the heart to tell him.
"SHOOOK" The door slid open and Takeo exited the shrine office. Tenchi saw the blank look on his friends face and knew his grandfather had told him what he had to. He walked over to Takeo to offer some regards on not getting the job.
"Listen Takeo I'm sorry you didn't get the job but don't worry you'll find another one. I mean who wants to work at a shrine for their first job anyway I been doin it forever and it's no fun man. "
"Whoa what are you talkin about Tenchi? Your grandfather hired me. "
"WHAT!! Umm excuse me for a minute. "
"SHOOOK"
"Grandpa what the hell are you thinking?!?! What's gonna happen when the girls start fighting and blow up the house again or when Mihoshi comes back from space? Not to menchon Ryo-oki how are we suppose to explain a cat that turns into a spaceship? Or when Washu finds out she has another guinea pig to experiment on now. Or I suppose you just hope the girls will never come up here. Hey maybe we don't even need to tell them I'm sure they'll never notice! "
"Hmmm you seemed to adjust well enough....or at least I thought you had. I thought you'd be happy Tenchi I know how much you hate your shrine chores. Now you'll have more time for your school, and, by the way, I will be expecting your grades to improve. "
"Grandpa we have five girls from OUTER SPACE living in our house don't you think Takeo might notice something's not right."
"I have already explained to Takeo that we have five very extraordinary borders living in the house and that he shouldn't be surprised if he sees something strange. Now, he will be living here at the shrine and he has also asked if I would teach him some of the sword techniques he saw today. I will be training him after you go home for the night and in time you may have someone else to spar with. Not all people are as high strung as you Tenchi I believe Takeo will be fine here even with the girls."
"But Grandpa! "
"Enough! Tenchi I have made my decision. "
"Oh man....."
"SHOOOK"
A defeated Tenchi slowly made his way over to his friend. Takeo was smiling and now carrying a rather large bag over his shoulder.
"This is gonna be so cool Tenchi. I can't wait to start the sword training that's one of the biggest reasons why I wanted to come here. Oh, and you'll have to introduce me to all those women you're living with. I wondered why you never stayed after school or came to hang out with the rest of the guys. Makes sense now though, if I had five women living in my house I'd proly never leave home either! "
"Oh yea ha ha. " said Tenchi as he rubbed the back of his head. "I'll introduce you sometime soon. But right now I gotta get home man I got lots of homework to do and all. "
"Yea sure man homework....I getcha." said Takeo with a big wink.
