Disclaimer: I don't anything.
Summary: Two girls show up in Tenchi's house, one claiming to be his daughter and the other...well Tenchi's still trying to figure that out.
~*~
Sango sighed as she leaned back on her bed. The room she shared with
Sakura was a small one but neither girl needed a lot of room so it suited them fine. She and Sakura had been in the past for almost a week now and no sign of trouble was approaching them. In fact everything was going fine. Tenchi liked both girls and welcomed them into his home. Although he hadn't wanted or asked them for any help Sakura had done nothing but help. For whatever reason Tenchi wouldn't let the girls on the field to help with the carrots, but he had mentioned something about it not being safe...something to do with two girls fighting...Sango couldn't remember exactly but it had been a good reason. Speaking of Sakura, where had she gotten to? Sango just shrugged her shoulders and picked up her Inu-Yasha manga and began to read.

"Let's go on a picnic!" Sakura's happy voice rang out through the halls of the Maski house.
"I'm sorry Sakura, I have to make the cake for Startica. It's tomorrow night you know."
"I can't either. I have experiments to conduct. No time like the present." Washu stated as she walked into her lab.
"I'm really sorry that everyone else is busy working." Sasami said giving Sakura a sympathetic look.
"It's okay." Sakura gave a small smile and sadly set down the picnic basket she had been holding. She sat on the small couch and rested her head in her hands. A small pout made it's way onto her face.
The door opened and Sakura looked up. Tenchi walked in wiping sweat off his brow with a small white towel.
"Hey Sakura." Tenchi said sitting next to her.
"Hey Tenchi." Sakura's voice was flat with disappointment.
"What's wrong?"
"Well, I wanted to go on a picnic, but everybody's busy. It's okay though."
"Well you don't sound okay to me. How bout I go on the picnic with you.
I've finished all my chores for today."
"Okay!" Sakura jumped up happily and kissed him on the cheek.
Tenchi blushed and turned the other way saying he needed to change. Sakura nodded.
"That's okay I have to repack our snack anyways." Sakura ran to the kitchen and Tenchi headed to the stairs.
Okay, I should have never blushed. It figures I would fall for the one girl that doesn't like me. I mean the kiss meant nothing to her. She was just really excited. She seems familiar though. I feel like I've known her forever.
Tenchi quite thinking about that and quickly threw on some fresh clothes, than jogged down the stairs. Sakura was already waiting for him at the front door.
"Come on Tenchi! Let's go." She grabbed his hand and lead him, surprisingly, to the Maski family tree.
"How did you...know how to get here?" Tenchi asked pointing from her to the tree.
"Lucky guess, I guess." Was her reply.
They settled down to enjoy the picnic. Cherry blossoms bloomed all around them and Sakura was humming a happy tune. When they had finished they sat just enjoying the peace and quiet. Suddenly Tenchi grabbed Sakura's hands in his and looked at her.
"You know, I'm really glad you came. Where ever you came from. It's nice to have someone who's not fighting over me. You, Sango and Sasami are the only one's you don't."
Sakura fidgeted under his gaze compelling Rio-oki to break the moment. No such luck the path leading to and from the tree was empty.
"I...uh...thanks..." Sakura sweat dropped and tried to change the subject.
"It's okay you don't have to be nervous here. We're all family." Tenchi was smiling now.
You have no idea. Sakura's mind screamed to him.
"I promise there's nothing to worry about."
Sakura did not like where this was going and she was going to change it fast. But before she could she felt Tenchi's lips on hers. He was kissing her.
Not good. She pushed him away.
"Daddy! What are you doing?!"
Tenchi didn't even stay to find out he ran all the way to the floating tub, hovering above the Maski household.
~*~
"Ahh, I think I'll go take a nice relaxing bath." Sango whispered to herself and went to change into a swimsuit.
She met Sakura halfway there. Sakura was in tears.
"Sakura, what's the matter?"
"I wanted to take a picnic and no one could come. But when D...Tenchi got home he said he could come. And then he started talking about how great it was that we came here and then...he...he kissed me."
Sakura burst into a fresh new set of tears. Sango put her hand to her mouth then put an arm around the sobbing girl.
"It's okay. He doesn't know, remember. As long as you told him no, than it will be okay."
Sakura's tears didn't lighten up and Sango frowned.
"You did tell him no...right?"
Sakura nodded. "Yeah but...I called him Dad. He knows now."
Sango tried to reassure her friend, but inside she doubted whether or not things would be okay.
"Come on Sakura, how bout you join me in taking a relaxing bath."
Sakura nodded and the two headed towards the bath.
~*~
"Ahh this is so relaxing." The two girls sank into the warm depths of the bath. Unknown to them Tenchi was in the smaller "Men's" bathtub above them.
"Yeah but now that..." Sakura looked around to make sure no one was there. No one else was in the "Women's" bath, and she couldn't see Tenchi... "my dad knows that he's my dad...he's going to want me to tell him who the mother is and I don't know..."
"You will not tell him." Sango's voice was sharp and held a motherly edge to it.
"Yes mother." Sakura grunted and replayed sarcastically.
Unfortunately for them Tenchi had completely missed the sarcasm.
~*~
Sakura ran a comb through her hair and than placed the brush on her vanity. Sango was on the opposite side of the room placing her hair in its trademark ponytail. They both walked downstairs and ran into Ryoko and Ayeka, who if looks could kill, would have murder them on the spot.
"Had a little picnic with Tenchi eh?" Ryoko shoved her face into
Sakura's so they were nose to nose.
"Phew, your breath stinks!" Sakura waved a hand in front of her nose.
"WHY YOU LITTLE..." Ryoko held out her palm as an energy ball began to form.
"HEY!" Sango called out from behind her.
Ryoko turned around to see Sango standing there with a long thin sword gripped tightly with both hands and extended towards Ryoko. Her eyes had an evil glint in them and her smile was forced, not at all the normal happy smile she normally had.
"Oh yeah. Well give it your best shot."
"Demon." Sango hissed. "You are the demon who killed my parents. It will give me great pleasure to slay you."
But instead of getting mad Ryoko blinked in surprise.
"But how, you're from the future and I gave up killing people after I met
Tenchi."
"Well something made you go back to it. You not only killed her parents but help slay my aunt as well." Sakura said her voice dropping as she looked to the ground.
"But nothing could make me go back to being a killer. NOTHING!" Ryoko was screaming at both girls.
"Oh yeah..." Sakura started.
"What about..." Sango's face was looking at the ground but her head snapped up as she finished the sentence. "if Tenchi didn't love you."
Ryoko was taken aback. Her eyes grew wide and began to water. Her looked soon changed to anger and she charged towards Sango.
"Wait Ryoko!" Sakura called Ryoko turned around to see Sakura's hand flying towards her face.
"CUT IT OUT!" She cried as her hand came in contact with Ryoko's cheek.
~*~
Tenchi walked back from the bath sighing as his head was plagued with thoughts. Mostly of the previous events of the picnic.
She can't be my daughter she looks and acts nothing like me. Well...maybe she might have my eyes...but that's it. There's no way she could be my daughter...could she...
He shook his head and continued towards the house. He was so preoccupied with his thoughts that he didn't hear the commotion going to inside the house. He opened the door to see Sakura raise her hand, Sango behind her, and slap Ryoko giving a cry of 'CUT IT OUT!' just as her hand made contact with Ryoko's flesh. Tenchi sweat dropped and closed the door and leaned against, only one thing going through his mind.
Yup she's definitely mine.
~*~
Well thanks for reading chapter 3. Anyways the whole last part with the slapping is hard to explain, but I'll try. It helps if you've seen the 2nd Tenchi movie. See there's this one part where Tenchi, guarding his "future daughter", slaps Ryoko like Sakura did in this chapter. So she looked like a female version of him when he was smacking Ryoko.
R&R!!!!!!!!!!!
