Chapter 1 V.1.1

*************************************************************

It was a typical morning at the Masaki residence, Ryoko and

Ayeka were fighting again over Tenchi again. It was the same

old story Ryoko had jumped on him as soon as he had appeared

downstairs for breakfast.

Sasami had got them to stop by telling both of them that if

they didn't stop fighting there would be no breakfast for the

par of them!

They both quickly sat down and started eating but every now

and then they would give each other dirty looks across the

table.

The only ones missing that morning was Tenchi's Father who

was at work. His Grandpa who was at the shine. Mihoshi was

called away on GP business the day before and Washu was still

in her lab working on her latest project.

Tenchi was sitting at the table deep in thought as he was

eating.

(I think i will pay Grandpa a visit the morning and talk about

the dreams i had this passed week)

Just then Ryoko went steal food from Ayeka plate but was stop

by Ayeka with her chopsticks soon a chopstick battle was

underway.

(I wish they would not fight everyday i fear it will be the

death of me!) Tenchi let out a deep sigh.

"Is anything wrong Tenchi?" Asked Sasami looking up from her

plate.

Ayeka was watching this while at the same time defending her

food from Ryoko.

(Lord Tenchi seems trouble i hope its not because of me and

the demon woman fighting again! i just can't stand the way

she jumps all over on him!)



"Nothing is wrong Sasami" Tenchi then quickly changed the

subject.



"After i have Finnish my food i am going visit Grandpa this

morning so do you want me to take Grandpa's breakfast up for

him Sasami?"

"Yes its on the tray on table in the kitchen" she replied.

Soon everybody had finished eating and had started go about

there morning chores.

"OK i see you all at lunch time goodbye everybody" Tenchi

said as he left with the tray of food for Yosho.

"Bye Tenchi say hi to my brother!"

"Goodbye Lord Tenchi"

"Bye bye Tenchi dear!"

With that Tenchi left the house. Ayeka got up and started to

pick up the food bowls.

"Thanks Sasami for the breakfast let me help you clean up

then i must get started on the house work" Said Ayeka to

Sasami as she walked towards the kitchen.

Sasami with Ryo-ohki on top of her head went off to kitchen

with the rest of the bowls. Ryoko floated of towards the

couch and switched on the TV. Ayeka walked back in to see

Ryoko take a seat on the couch. Ayeka had giving up on trying

to get Ryoko to help round the house but at least if she was

in front of the TV Ayeka could keep an eye on her and know

she was not off trying to get her way with Lord Tenchi.

*************************************************************

Tenchi walked up the steps that lead to the old shine were

his grandpa lived. The sun was still low in the Okayama sky.

Summer was coming soon and it would soon be time to start

planning the family's vacation probably to the beach which

would also mean that the girls would complete to see who has

the best swimsuit and he would be force to judge which one

was the best. But before he can say anything they would end

up fighting again.

He was so deep in though that he didn't notice that he was at

the shine.

He knock on the door before speaking to let his Grandpa know

it was him.

"Good morning Grandpa its me Tenchi i both your breakfast

this morning"

"Good morning Tenchi. Where is Sasami today? i hope she is

not ill?" Asked Yosho.



"Sasami is fine today Grandpa i wanted to see you this

morning i need to talk with you about these dreams i have

been having for the passed week" Replied Tenchi as he put the

tray on the small table in side the shine's office.

"Oh well you best tell me what your dream's have been about

as i eat breakfast"

"Well i been dreaming about the girls well just Ryoko and

Ayeka." Tenchi said with is hand behind is head.



"Tenchi i don't think we should talk about that type of stuff

over my breakfast" Yosho said before Tenchi could Finnish

Tenchi waving his hands in front of him "It was not like

that!"

(Well it is like that in parts but think i can leave them

out)

"Oh well get on with it then boy"

"Well for all my dreams i was looking down on myself. The

first one happened on Monday i was on board Ryo-ohki with

Ryoko, And we were been chased by a number of spaceships that

were shooting at us! I looked scared out of my skin but Ryoko

was laughing her head off! Then after we had lost the ships

the were after us she then grab me and dragged me off towards

a room on board Ryo-ohki i will leave out what happened next"

At this time Tenchi was even redder than before.



"The next night i was looking down on the house as i watched

myself leave to go work in the fields with my tools in hand.

Ryoko stood watching me leave and was waving me off. But as

soon as i was gone she went back in and laid about all day

doing nothing but watching TV and drinking Saki and it looked

like there was no one else living in the house as the was

pizza boxes and take outs all over the place! Then when i

return home she jump on me kissing me with some force and

then we well you know"

Yosho sat listing to what his grandson Tenchi had to say as

he took a sip of his tea before he said



"Interesting so go on"

"The next night i was on Jurai with Ayeka. It looked like we

were in a meeting with some nobles i seemed to be doing most

of the talking but i couldn't make out what i was talking to

them about. Some time later they all started to leave and

we both said are good byes to them at the door. As soon as

they had left we both looked like a huge weight had just been

taking off both are shoulders we both turn smiled at each

other and started to kiss slowly we then walked off towards a

side room and i think you know were that was going"

Yosho just nodded.

"Thursday nights dream was again in the house just like it i

was with Ryoko. I watched as Ayeka said her good-byes to me i

looked like i was off to work in town some were as i was in a

business suit. After i left i watched as Ayeka started the

house work she looked like she was humming to herself. She

even started to cook a simple dinner. Later i retuned to

house she greeted me with a simple pick on the cheek. We then

sat down to eat then watch TV before we went to bed"

"The last one was me alone in the house i was looking in

every room trying to find were everybody was but could find

no one. I was alone in a empty house. Then i was emerged in

total darkness. I started to look for any sign of light then

all of a sudden two lights beamed down on two figures one was

Ryoko the other was Ayeka.

They both stood there with there heads down and kept saying.

You should of pick one of us! You should of pick one of us!

Over and over again and Louder and louder they kept going.

Soon i was on the floor with my hands over my ears trying to

block the noise but it did not block out there voice's. Soon

there voices were deafening i cried out in pain that's when i

woke up covered in sweat"

"It seems that they were more then just dreams they sound

like visions of what your future could be like with ever of

those two. And the last one i believe was trying to tell you

that if you leave things the way they are they will get feed

up of waiting and one day they will leave you"

Replied Yosho who then took a drink of his tea before Tenchi

spoke again.

"But how can just go and pick one over the other without

hurting the other one?"

"Tell me Tenchi do you love them?"

Tenchi paused before he replied.

"I do have strong feelings for both of them but i don't know

if i am in truly in love with one of them"



The was pause before Yosho replied.



"Tell me Tenchi what is your plans for the future? i know

that because of what has happened around here in the passed

two years you have missed out heavy on your studies"

"Well i have been thinking that i would take over the shine

one day from you Grandpa" Tenchi replied.

(I guess its time to tell him the truth)



"Tenchi i have been keeping a secret for many years and i

have a good reason for it so what you are about to see must

not leave this room do you understand!" Yosho said in a

commanding voice.

"I understand you have my word Grandpa" Tenchi replied as he

wondered what he was about to see.

"What i am about to show you is my true forum!"

(True from? What does he grandpa mean?)

Tenchi watched in shock as Yosho change from a old man to the

man he watched Ryoko fight that day he watched the memories

of Funaho of the day Yosho & Ryoko fought on Earth 700 years

ago.

"Grandpa your....your....."

"Young?"



"Yes but how? Why are you showing me now? Does anyone else

know?" Said Tenchi was having trouble understanding what was

going on as he looked at the know young Yosho sitting right

in front of him.

"By using the power from Funaho and the gems on sword Tenchi

i could hide my true age from people. After all i have been

here for 700 years and if i would of stayed in this form

people would start talking! So as you see i will be round for

a long-time to come. So i will be looking after the shine for

a number of years to come. My Mother knows my truth form and

i would not be surprised is my father knows as well"

"I understand why you have had to hided yourself but why

didn't you show your true forum to Ayeka after she found out

that you was her brother?"

"I have my reasons for hiding from Ayeka is that i didn't

agree with my Father about me marrying her. I never like the

idea of marrying my half sister from day one. It was wrong

not only for me but for her as well people should only marry

for love not because some one else says so"

"I will have to agree with you no one should be forced into

get married"

"Well its about time i went about my business for the day"

With that Yosho chance back to is old Katsuhito form and

walked out.

"But how do i know who i love!" Tenchi called following the

old man



"Think on it Tenchi that's all you can do for now let your

heart guide you. And tell Sasami i thank her for a lovely

breakfast!"

As he watched this Grandpa walk away to a different part of

the shine Yosho's last words echoed in his head.

(Let Your heart guide you)
