Chapter 3

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

Sasami woken up the next morning ready to start the day. She

was always the first one to getup in the house so she could

make start on breakfast before the rest of Family woke up.

She sat up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. The first

thing she notice when she looked round the room was Ayeka

was already awake. She was sitting on top of her futon with

her legs cross and eyes closed. She had her hands crossed

over her chest with both her hands resting on top her

shoulders.

Sasami notice the way she was breathing slowly. Breathing in

by her nose and breathing out from her mouth.

(What is Ayeka doing?) Sasami wondered.

"Hey Ayeka? What are you doing, Are you alright" She asked a

questioning voice.

It took a couple of seconds before Ayeka replied.

"Oh good morning Sasami, sorry did you ask me a question?"

She said in a claim voice.

"I said what are you doing?"

"I was performing a Juraian mediation ritual. It helps one to

be in control of there emotion's" Came Ayeka's reply.

"Why would you need to do that for Ayeka?" Replied Sasami

who was a little confused.

"Well, I will tell you but, you must keep it a secret

between us!"

"OK i promise Ayeka. I will not tell anyone!"

"Not even Ryo-ohki?" Questioned Ayeka as she eyeballed the

young princess.

Sasami pause for a sec before she nodded her head.

"Good girl now you know how.............."

With that Ayeka explained what she was doing to her younger

sister.

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

About 10 minutes later Sasami skipped down the stairs. When

she reached the bottom she notice that Tenchi's Father

Nobuyuki was asleep on the couch still in his work clothes.

(Poor Father Masaki, He must of got home late last night. He

works so hard so that we can all live here. I know i will

make his favorite breakfast for him!)

With that she skipped off into the kitchen to start

breakfast. She was soon joined by Ryo-ohki,

She thought about to tell the cabbit/girl what her sister was

up to but she heard her sisters words in her head.

------------------------Flashback-----------------------------

"Now you promise me that what i have said to you that you

will not tell anyone. Do you promise Sasami?"

"OK i promise Ayeka. I hope it works"

"So did i Sasami so do i"

---------------------End of Flashback-------------------------

(I most not break my word to Ayeka) Thought Sasami.

(Good Girl Sasami)

(Oh is that you Tsunami?)

(Yes little one things are about to change around here)

With a smile on her face Sasami went back to her cooking.

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

Tenchi woke up to smell Sasami cooking breakfast which was

always a welcome smell first thing in the mornings.

Thankfully he had no dreams last night like the ones he had

all week

He got up and quickly grabbed his clothes for the day and

then head towards the bathroom. On the way he pass Ayeka as

she stepped out of her room.

"Good morning Miss Ayeka"

"Good morning to you Lord Tenchi hope you are well?"

"Yes, you?"

"Thank you for your concern i am feeling fine today"

"Well i guess i will see you downstairs in a little while

then"

"Yes i am now of to help Sasami get breakfast ready. It

should be ready by the time you come down" Said Ayeka as she

turned to head downstairs.

Tenchi couldn't help but watched her head towards stairs. For

some reason Ayeka seemed different today but he couldn't work

out why as he then watched her disappear down the stairs.

He didn't notice is Father, Who had woken up by then coming

out of the bathroom close by creeping up on him.

"It's a pity she hides her legs under that kimono right boy?"

Nobuyuki, said in a sly voice.

"Huh? Oh Yes no i mean Argh! DAD! Don't do that!" With that

Tenchi push pass his father and close the door as he went

into bathroom.

Nobuyuki chuckled to himself "There's hope for you yet

Tenchi!" Beaming with pride he head down stairs.

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

Ryoko was in her usual spot just above the stairs ready to

grope Tenchi as he came down for breakfast. Ryoko had long

time workout that not only does she get to grope Tenchi first

thing in the morning. She knew it would piss off Ayeka as

well.

Ryoko looked across to see her so called 'Mother' Washu and

Nobuyuki already sitting down at the table. Washu looked like

she was trying to explain her latest project to him. But she

soon notice that Nobuyuki was just humoring her as Ryoko

though that he had no idea what she was talking about.

Giggling to herself Ryoko though (A grope with Tenchi then a

fight with Ayeka, Always a great way to start off the day!)

Tenchi started to make his way downstairs at the same time h

slowly counted in the back of his head.

( 5 4 3 2 1 )

"GOOD MORNING MY TENCHI!!!" Shouted Ryoko as she dived on top

Tenchi.

"I bet you were dreaming about me last night hey lover boy?"

Wisped Ryoko in a sexy voice in to his ear while groping

every part of is body.

"Ack!...no...please...let...me...go..!" Pleaded Tenchi as he

tried to get away from Ryoko's vice like grip.

That was the time Ayeka picked to enter the room carrying a

large stake of pancakes on a tray.

Washu and Nobuyuki dived under the table they knew what would

come next. But were shocked at what did follow.

"Miss Ryoko when you have quite finished saying good morning

to Lord Tenchi would please come and join the rest of the

family at the table" Ayeka said in a voice that had not hint

of anger at all in it. Her voice was very clam.

Ryoko just stood there confused. This was not what should

happening. She and Ayeka should be starting there morning

fight.

Tenchi notice Ryoko had loosened her gripe on him and could

free himself from Ryoko. He quickly took is place at the

table.

(Well that was different from the normal routine)

Thought Tenchi. Washu & Nobuyuki had retaking the places at

the table. They both looked at each other in a way that

seemed they were asking each other what just happened but

then quickly dismiss it to turn there thoughts back to

breakfast.

Sasami with Ryo-ohki on her head. Walked in and called to

Ryoko who had not move yet from where she had stood.

"Hey Ryoko are you going to stand there all day? Your

pancakes will get cold!" Call Sasami.

"Huh? Oh yes coming" With that she floated over and sat down.

She had not taking her eyes of Ayeka as she did so.

(What's up with the princess today!?!) Thought Ryoko as she

dug in to her pancakes.

"Wow Sasami you know how much i like pancakes! This are

great!" Said Nobuyuki in-between mouthfuls.

"Yes good as always Sasami" Added Washu.

"I don't think there is anyone that can cook as good as you

Sasami" Tenchi said praising the young princess.

Sasami just sat there and went red.

Ryoko was still fuming that she had not got under Ayeka's

skin.

(I know just how to get her mad easily. By stealing her

food!)

Ryoko had just polished of her last pancake and started to

eye up Ayeka's plate. As she was just about to make a dive

with her folk at Ayeka's plate Ayeka spoke up.

"Miss Ryoko if you are still hungry please fell free to have

rest of mine" Ayeka spoke in the same tone of voice she had

used earlier.

Ryoko just blink at her "Well OK if you don't mind?"

(OK who are you and what have you done with the real Ayeka

she would never give me her food freely?)

"Not at all. Please take them"

With that Ryoko took the last of Ayeka's pancakes. She notice

there was no reaction from Ayeka. So she quickly gobbled them

down.

Tenchi watch this happen (I don't know why Ayeka is acting

this way. But i like it this way better than those two

fighting every day)

"Lord Tenchi is anything wrong?" Ayeka ask as she spotted him

looking at her.

Tenchi flushed a little before answering.

"It's nothing" He Just looked down at this plate. He notice

that he had one pancake left.

"Ayeka if you like you can have my last one. If you what it

that is"

He said trying not to make eye contact with the princess.

"Why thank you Lord Tenchi i would be honoured" Said Ayeka

with a smile.

(God she smiling at me. Boy she has a great smile gods! What

am i thinking?)

At the same time he felt is heart racing faster and faster.

(How does she do that to me) He thought trying to clam him

self down.

"Its no problem Miss Ayeka here"

Tenchi pick up is plate to hand it to Ayeka. At the same time

she reached out and made contact with his hand as she took

the plate Ayeka face was soon covered in a light shade of

crimson so did Tenchi's.

Ryoko notice this and butted in.

"Hey hey! Cut that out people are trying to eat here!" She

said with a mouthful of pancakes.

"Well, i better you know, go to the fields yea that's right,

well bye!"

Said a very nevus Tenchi as he quickly left the room.

(Oh my! That went better than i thought it could of. Maybe i

have been going about this the wrong way all this time)

Thought a smiling Ayeka as she finished the last one of

Tenchi's pancakes.

Ryoko was not happy after watching what happened. (I don't

like this one bit not one bit! I don't know what you game is

princess. But it wouldn't work Tenchi is mine!)

Sasami just sat there with a happy smile on her face.

(Looks like her plan is working)

A voice could be heard replying to her thoughts

(Yes child looks like it is)
