Chapter 2 V 1.1

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

It had just gone pass noon and Ayeka was hanging out the

washing on the line in the yard when she spotted Tenchi

coming down the steps from the shine. After he had visited

her brother that morning.

(Tenchi has been up there all morning, I wonder what is

bothering him?. I must say he has looked trouble this week.)

She watched as he made his way towards her.

"Good day Lord Tenchi" Said Ayeka as she gave him one of her

warm smiles.

"Oh hi, Ayeka. Sorry can't stop, The fields need attending

to" Said Tenchi as he walked passed the princess.

Ayeka couldn't help but notice that Tenchi had the same look

on his face as he did at the breakfast table.

(Something is differently worrying Tenchi?) Ayeka then

turned her eyes up towards the shine.

(Maybe if i visited Yosho he can shed some light on what is

wrong with Tenchi?) With that in mind Ayeka headed towards

the steps that lead up to the shine.

Back in the house Washu had finally come out of her lab.

Sasami greeted the little scientist as she entered the

kitchen.

"Hello little Washu would you like me to fix you a something

to eat?" Asked Sasami.

"Why thank you Sasami, Sorry i missed breakfast you know what

its like when you are the number one greatest scientist of

the universe!" Replied Washu.

"By the way were is that daughter of mine, Ryoko today?"

"In the family room watching TV" came Sasami's reply as she

handed Washu a sandwich.

"I should of known" he then sat down and started eating the

sandwich Sasami had just made for her.

"What were you working on this morning, little Washu?" Asked

Sasami.

Washu then tried to explained her latest invention to the

little princess, But she could soon see that Sasami had no

idea what she was talking about.

"In short, It's a program that will let Yukinojo, Land its

self without any help from Mihoshi!" Washu then gave the

victory sign.

"Wow that's cool, But why have you only just thought of is

now? We could of used it

a long.."

Sasami stopped talking when she spotted the look she was

getting from Washu. She slowly back out of the room with Ryo

ohki in tow.

"Hump...kids today!" Said an annoyed Washu as she finished of

her food then head back to her lab.

Sasami entered the family room were she join Ryoko on the

couch were she was watching TV .It was soon time for there

favorite soap opera which was about to start. Ryoko looked

round and notice that Ayeka was missing.

"Were is that Ayeka? Sasami, The show is about start?"

"I think she went to visited brother i watched her head up

there from the window a couple of minute's ago" Came Sasami's

reply from were she was sitting right next to Ryo-ohki who

was now in her child form.

"Well, She better not blame me that she missed it!" Came

Ryoko's reply as she looked back to the TV were the show was

just starting.

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

Ayeka made her way towards her brother's office at the shine.

She knocked before Ayeka entered the office.

"Yosho, Are you here? I wish to speak with you?" Called Ayeka

as she entered the office.

(Well, I am popular today) Thought Yosho as he entered the

same room that Ayeka was standing in.

"Why yes dear sister, please sit down" He said gesturing

towards the table in the middle of the room.

"So, What is it you wish to talk to me about Ayeka?"

(Bet is Tenchi) Thought Yosho.

"It is about lord Tenchi,"

(Bingo!)

"I have notice that he seems trouble of late. I know he came

to see you this morning" Said Ayeka.

"And you were hoping i could shed some light on what is

worrying him right?" Ayeka nodded.

"Well, I can say he did come to speak with me. But i am not

at liberty to say why"

Ayeka was about to speak but Yosho held is hand up to stop

her.

"Ayeka answer me this, Why do you fight with Ryoko?"

"What do you mean brother,!" Ayeka couldn't help but think

why Yosho had changed the subject to her fights with Ryoko.

"You know exactly, what i mean" Yosho's voice became more

commanding.

Ayeka took moment before answering him.

"I do not hate Ryoko, Not after i found out about Kagato. But

she makes me so mad, Every time she throws herself at Lord

Tenchi!"

"And you wish you could do that?" Asked Yosho quickly.

"Yes" Ayeka quickly covered her mouth after realizing what

she had just said but it was to late. Yosho sat in front of

her with a cheeky smile.

"there is no need to be embarrassed Ayeka. It is natural for

a woman at your age to think like that." Said Yosho to a red

face Ayeka.

"It is not?" Ask Ayeka.

"No, Like i said it's natural"

"Now answer me this, Have you ever tried not to fight with

Ryoko?"

"Yes, But it didn't last long. I soon lost my temper with her

i guest i get that from Grandma Seto" Replied Ayeka looking

down.

\\ At the same time on Jurai one Lady Seto was walking down a

corridor in the palace when she all of a sudden she sneezed.

"It seems some one is talking about me" //

Back on Earth.

"There is away you could keep your temper i check"

"There is,? Please brother how?" Ayeka pleaded to him.

"Yes there is away to control it" He then turned to his desk

were a number of books were piled. Quickly scanning them he

soon found the one he was looking for.

"Here read this" he said as he handed Ayeka the book.

"What is it about?" Said Ayeka as she looked over the book.

"It is one of a number of books i receive from your Mother on

martial arts teachings of Jurai, A long time ago back on

Jurai. That book was one of only a small number that were not

lost when Funaho crash here on Earth."

"But why would i need a book on martial arts?. Mother has

already trained me in the arts." Asked Ayeka.

"That book focus on warm up teachings. One part focus on

meditation ritual's that helps the fighter to keep there

emotions in check"

Ayeka's eye's got bigger when she realized what her brother

had said.

"Thank you Yosho" Said Ayeka as she hugged the book close to

her chest.

"It's quite aright Ayeka i am more than happy to help my

little sister"

"Well i must get back to the house now" Said Ayeka as she got

up.

"Thank you for your time Yosho" She said as she bowed to him.

"I always have time your my family Ayeka."

Ayeka turned towards the door. As she was about to open it

she wondered why Yosho was giving her away to get in to

Tenchi's good books by not fighting with Ryoko but she

quickly dismissed that idea. He then opened the door and

exited the office.

"Good day to you brother, I trust we will see you tonight for

dinner" Called Ayeka as she stepped out of the office.

Yosho nodded to her. Ayeka then headed towards the steps soon

she disappeared down them.

"Things should get very, interesting around here now" The

voice was not Yosho's it came from a ghostly image of the

goddess Tsunami.

"Yes i believe it will" Came Yosho's reply.

"I only wish no one will be hurt by what is about to unfold"

"Sadly that is one wish i cannot grant" came the Goddess

reply as she faded away.

"That is very true" Replied Yosho as he looked up towards the

blue sky over head.
