((R&R, OR I WILL BE FORCED TO............ STOP THE FANFIC!!!!! DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNN!!!!!! lol. I mean it this time; if there are no reviews, there is no way for me to know if people like it. So when you read it, please take a quick minute and send a review! Thank you.))
Tenchi walked through the storm until he saw the sun come up.
In the faint distance, with the middle of the sun centered perfectly behind it, he saw the figure of a small, round building.
His heart leapt with excitement!
Tenchi swept up Ryo-ohki and ran as fast as his tired, weak, battered, snowblown legs could carry him.
"There it is, Ryo-ohki! Do you see it?"
Ryo-ohki opened her little round eyes. She saw the figure getting closer, and sensed Ryoko's presence nearby.
"Mrow!!!!"
He left tracks in the snow, until he realized that his feet and legs needed a break. He needed badly to go to the restroom.
"Don't look, Ryo-ohki!"
Ryo-ohki turned as he spun around and unzipped his pants.
While he was relieving himself, Ryo-ohki saw the building.
It was moving.
"RRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!"
"WHAT?!?! What do you mean it's moving?!?!"
Tenchi finished and zipped up his trousers. He saw it too. He knew what it was instantly.
"DUCK!"
He grabbed a hold of Ryo-ohki, held her to his chest, and jumped to the ground just as it came close.
It hovered right over them, and started to turn.
"HOLY SHIT! IT'S AN AIRCRAFT!"
"Mow."
"No, Ryo-ohki, I can curse in these types of situations."
He tucked her in his shirt, and hugged her close to keep her warm. Her body heat helped warm him in return.
"I should have thought of that sooner."
The ship zoomed by again, and Tenchi jumped off to the side to dodge it.
It flew a few yards and turned to come after them again.
Tenchi unsheathed his sword.
"You sure do come in handy."
The craft came closer, and Tenchi jumped as high as he could, sticking his sword out firmly in front of himself.
It jammed into the ship's back, and Tenchi held on tight, to see if it would lead him anywhere.
As he positioned himself, he noticed a symbol of an eye inside a triangle. Below it read:
"Urim"
"Urim?"
Tenchi heard Ryo-ohki's muffled voice coming from inside his shirt.
"Mea, meow meow."
"You're right; it probably is where this aircraft came from."
He felt turbulence hit the ship.
"Hold on tight!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After about an hour of flying, they came upon a large, black tower with hundreds of windows and elevators going up, down, around, and even to the sides.
It was a strange sight, such a tall, thriving tower in such a cold, desolate place. Tenchi felt an extremely painful hit on his back, knocking him off the ship, into a patch of 2 foot deep snow.
"Thanks a lot, stupid!"
Tenchi looked up to see who he was adressing.
"M....Miss Ayeka?"
There was Princess Ayeka, dressed in full winter clothing, sitting on the heads of Azaka and Kamidake.
"Thanks a lot to you, Lord Tenchi! Let me ask what the hell you are doing here!"
"........................."
"Well, answer me!!!!"
"I'm..... cold."
"You have everyone back at home worried sick! You cannot just go off like that and do whatever you want, not caring about the family! You should be ashamed-"
"Look, PRINCESS AYEKA, for one thing, you are NOT the boss of me! For another thing, this whole ordeal is none of your DAMN BUSINESS! And last of all, you shouldn't treat me like that! I have been attacked by your guardians, barraged by pirates, practically killed countless times, almost drowned in a spaceship crash, wandered almost aimlessly through the snow for days, almost killed by a flying building, and I have no time for your petty, nagging shit!!!!!
"Well excuse me, 'Mister Kind to a Princess that Deserves to be Treated Better', but I had no idea what you just went through! What, do you think I'm psychic???"
"YOU'RE A FUCKIN' ROYAL JURIAN! You can communicate telepathically with Azaka and Kamidake! You ARE phsychic!!!"
"That doesn't count!"
"Yes it does!"
"You were lucky that I arrived here with warmth and protection! You should be thankful!"
"You just screwed up my ride to that tower to save R-...."
"To save WHO? That bitch RYOKO?????"
"Uh............"
"Oh, Tenchi! I thought you said you loved me that night that we made love."
"You got me drunk!"
"Oh, so you..... don't......"
Tears formed in Ayeka's eyes. Tenchi saw that what he had said made her sad, so being the kind of man he was, he lightened his mood and tried to comfort her, but tell her the truth.
"Ayeka..."
"Yes, tenchi?"
"I have something to tell you."
"What is that, Tenchi?"
"I do love you."
"You do?-"
"...But I don't love you in the way you might hope. I love you almost as a sister, as a best friend. You are my best friend. And you are very beautiful, and I am somewhat attracted to you, but I do not want to ruin our friendship with romance."
"But, Tenchi..."
Tenchi embraced her.
"So what you said-"
"Do you understand?"
Ayeka looked down.
"...Yes, I understand."
Tenchi brought his lips to her forehead, kissed her, and held her close, her cheek to his chest.
"I'm glad you do."
They looked at each other for a moment, as if they were lovers.
"...You are cold. Would you like to share my coat?"
"Yes, that would be nice."
Ayeka opened her coat and gave him space. Since the Juraian attire was usually very spacious and large, it fit both of them perfectly.
"Would you ride me to that tower?"
"Sure."
Azaka and Kamidake took off. Tenchi was warm and they were going fast, but Ayeka was not so happy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They approached the entrance.
"Thank you for the ride, Ayeka."
Tenchi hugged her and stepped off.
"I'm off to save Ryoko. I hope to see you soon."
Just as he turned to go, he felt Ayeka's hand grab the back of his shirt.
"Tenchi..."
"Yes, Ayeka?"
".........Be careful."
"I will."
They exchanged a smile, and Ayeka quickly put her mouth to his in a goodbye kiss.
They parted lips.
"I'm sorry."
"It's alright."
Tenchi gave her a warm grin before turning once more, and ran inside.
Ayeka smiled at the floor.
"Azaka, Kamidake, take me home."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tenchi ran through the halls of the giant building, taking elevators and running up steps and through passageways for at least an hour. Soon enough, he came upon two large doors that lead to one room, guarded by a huge guard on either side.
"I'm sorry, but you cannot enter without an invitation."
Tenchi stood for a few minutes.
"Well, what if I have an invitation?"
"It must be authorized by us."
"I have one."
"Show it!"
Tenchi frantically thought to come up with something to get him by. Then, he knew.
"Right... here."
He walked over and put his hand to the handle of the sword. The guards leaned in.
"Here's your invitation!"
With amazing speed, Tenchi unsheathed the sword and decapitated the first guard.
"Why, you little bastard!"
The second guard put up his seven-foot shield, and pointed forward his twenty-foot spear, ready to charge Tenchi.
Tenchi was ready for his attack, jumping over the large behemoth and landing on the top of his head.
"Say goodbye!"
He tried to stab the sword in, but the guard's head armor was too hard to cut through.
Tenchi was dumbfounded.
He looked around the room, knowing he had to make his decision quick, before the guard killed him.
But before he could do anything, the guard slammed his head forward and threw Tenchi off, flinging him onto the wall.
SMACK!
Tenchi slid down to the floor. The guard charged him again.
Then, Tenchi noticed.
The first guard had dropped his weapon instantly when he died.
Tenchi evaded the guard's charge, causing the guard to run his head into the wall.
Only a few moments. He had to work fast.
Tenchi ran over to the other guard's spear and tried to pick it up.
Too heavy. He had to pull harder.....
The guard freed his head from the wall and started to charge him again.
Just in time, Tenchi lifted up the spear and pointed it directly in front of himself.
Being stupid, the guard ran right into the spear, and was punctured all the way through, the point of the spear coming out of his back.
He was instantly killed.
Tenchi grabbed his sword and sloshed through all the blood, and remains of the guards to get to the doors.
He stepped up to the entrance. There was a large triangle with an eye in it.
"The symbol I saw on the aircraft!"
He left the two corpses behind, and opened the door a crack.
"Welcome, boy."
He opened the door all the way.
"I have come for Ryoko. Where is she?"
He was in a giant room, the ceiling, he guessed, being a hundred feet high, the walls probably many times as long.
He observed his surroundings. There was a large, red velvet chair at the other end of the room. In it was a tall man with long, white hair.
"Come, boy."
Tenchi looked around as he walked down the red velvet carpet toward the man.
Then, he saw.
At the chair's side, there was a capsule.
The capsule was filled with liquid, holding a nude, unconscious Ryoko.
Tenchi neared the man, and stopped about twenty feet away from the chair.
"Allow me to introduce myself."
The man looked up and met eye-to-eye with Tenchi.
"Kagato!"
Tenchi walked through the storm until he saw the sun come up.
In the faint distance, with the middle of the sun centered perfectly behind it, he saw the figure of a small, round building.
His heart leapt with excitement!
Tenchi swept up Ryo-ohki and ran as fast as his tired, weak, battered, snowblown legs could carry him.
"There it is, Ryo-ohki! Do you see it?"
Ryo-ohki opened her little round eyes. She saw the figure getting closer, and sensed Ryoko's presence nearby.
