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

Tsunami floated there right in front of a shocked Tenchi &

Ayeka.

Ayeka had just found out she too had the marks of the Light

Hawk Wings on her head just like Tenchi has when he call's

forth the power of the Light Hawk Wings.

"Tsunami it is an honour to see you once again" Ayeka said as

she bowed towards the Goddess.

"Lady Ayeka there is no need to be so formal we are as good

as sister's, Because of my connection with your sister

Sasami" Came the reply from the Goddess as she smiled towards

Ayeka.

Ayeka smiled back and nodded. Tenchi took this opportunely to

speak.

"Tsunami you said that you could explain why Ayeka too as the

mark of the Light Hawk Wings?"

"Yes, i can" She then turned towards Ayeka.

"It all started the day of your birth Ayeka" Tsunami started

to talk.

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

Yosho was out in the shine's courtyard watching the sun

disappearing over the hills. Out of the corner of his eye he

spotted movement in the trees heading towards Ryoko's cave.

"Who could be visiting that place at this time of day?" With

that he headed off towards the cave to investigate.

As he approached the cave he could make out a figure sitting

on one of the rock's just out side the cave's entrance it was

Ryoko.

Yosho did not say anything as he walked over towards her. He

could see that the poor girl had been crying hard by the tear

lines that where on her cheeks and her red puffy eyes.

Ryoko spotted him and was the first to speak.

"Why?"

Yosho sat down on the next rock, he then reached in to his

top and pulled out a bottle of sake and two small cups.

Handing one to Ryoko he started to poor out the sake.

"Why did he pick her over me!" Ryoko said before downing the

sake before her.

"Destiny" came Yosho's replied.

"Destiny?" Ryoko said in a confused voice.

"Yes let me tell you of the time Ayeka was born"

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

-----------------------FLASHBACK-----------------------------

long ago on planet Jurai.

The king of Jurai Azusa stood in a corridor in some part of

the Royal palace looking out of the window a voice spoke to

him.

"Father what is wrong with Mother Misaki?" Said a small boy

around the age of 12 Earth years.

Azusa didn't answer but someone else did.

"Yosho dear Misaki is OK she's with your Mother in that room"

The owner of the new voice then pointed towards a near by

door.

"My little girl is about to give birth to your new little

baby bother or sister soon"

The voice was owned by Misaki's Mother Lady Seto.

"I am going to have a bother?"

"Or sister!" Seto quickly added.

"I have a question for you. Were is the baby's come from?" A

confused Yosho asked.

"Azusa! Have you not explained to your son anything about

life! He will soon be man!" Seto said towards Azusa.

Azusa didn't say anything but there was a large sweat drop on

the back of his head.

Just as Lady Seto was about to explain to Yosho about the

birds and the bees when there was a cry of a new-born baby

coming from the room were Seto had pointed to.

Azusa looked up from his place by the window and turned

towards the door, just then Funaho came out.

"Congratulations dear, You have a beautiful little girl" She

said smiling at her Husband.

Azusa's face lit up. "Is my little girl OK Funaho?" Ask Seto.

"Yes Lady Misaki is well she just needs rest"

"Can i see them now?" Ask Azusa.

"Yes, but there is something y...." Before Funaho could

finished Azusa had already gone in.

"Is there a problem Funaho?" Questioned Seto in one of her

commanding voices that she was famous for as she fan herself.

"Its not a problem. But i think its best if you come in and

see for yourself Lady Seto" came Funaho's reply.

With that both lady's entered the room leaving a confused

Yosho to wonder in after them.

A prod Azusa stood next to Misaki's bed watching the new

Mother sleeping. There next to her in a cot was the soon

to be named Princess Ayeka.

"Come to daddy" Azusa said as he picked up the little girl

just then Seto and Funaho had walked in.

Azusa didn't notice it at first he was to busy looking at

Ayeka with pride but it did not miss Seto's eye's.

"In the name of Tsunami!!" Seto said in a shocked voice she

then started to fan quicker.

"What's wrong!" Azusa said trying to find the cause of Seto's

distressed.

It just then he notice the marks on Ayeka's head.

"This marks" Azusa said running his hand over them "They must

be marks of blessed by Tsunami!"

Yosho looked on confused again he tugged on his Mother's

robes.

"Mother what is Father talking about?"

Funaho turn round and looked at her son.

"Yosho it is believed that people who have markings on there

head are blessed by Tsunami and that they can wheel great

power" She said smiling at him.

"Does that mean you have great power Mother?"

"No my mark and your Mother Misaki's marks are just for show

but your sister's are very real"

It was then that Azusa came over to his son to show him is

new little sister Yosho looked at the young princess who was

asleep apron here head were three marks. At the time Yosho

didn't see anything special about them.

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

"So your telling me my own parents knew but this!" Ayeka was

angered that there own family had hiding the truth from her

for so long.

"Ayeka you must calm down i should think there was a good

reason why they never told you" Tenchi was doing

is best to calm Ayeka down. He then turned to the Goddess

Tsunami.

"Why was Ayeka born with the marks of the Light Hawk Wings?

Was it your doing?"

"Yes and no. You see back in Jurai's early years i had a very

powerful vision's that Jurai would be attacked by a powerful

force. So i used my powers to bestow the power of the Light

Hawk Wings on two persons who both have Royal blood" Came

Tsunami's reply.

"But i always thought you gave me the power so i could beat

Kagato?"Asked Tenchi.

"No Tenchi you have always had the power deep inside you. And

because you were born on Earth your powers were locked away

by your earthling blood all i did was to release them unlike

Ayeka who used the wings at a very young age"

"You mean i have used them? Then why do i not have any memory

of doing so?" Ask a confused Ayeka.

"The reason for that i shall now explain"

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

A now 18 years old Yosho was not happy. How could his Father

do this to him and Ayeka!.

"What is he thinking arranged me to marry my own sister! Does

he not care how i fell let alone Ayeka!"

He stormed out of the palace towards the Royal gardens to

practise.

Some time later Yosh was not finished taking out is anger on

the training logs.

"Dam you Father! What about my feelings!" Yosho was to busy

attacking the training logs he did not notice Ayeka watching

him from behind a bush. It was then he hit on of the logs

right at her. He then spotted her and watch as the log flow

right at her.

Mean time Funaho Seto and a distort looking Misaki were

looking for Ayeka.

"Were is she! Were is she!" a panicking Misaki cried.

"I don't think she's gone off far we will find her" Funaho

said.

"Yes Funaho is right i bet she will turn up anytime soon"

came Seto's reply.

It was then they heard the scream coming from the training

grounds. They all just looked at each other before they ran

off towards were the sound had come from.

When they got there they just stood there in shock at what

they sore before them. Azusa who also had been looking for

Ayeka joined them.

"What is going on here!" Demanded Azusa. His eyes them locked

on to what the 3 women were looking at.

There before him was his son on the ground looking at his

sister Ayeka.

Ayeka was just standing there. She looked like she was in a

trance. The marks on her head were glowing and there before

her was three Wings of the Light Hawk just like the ones Tree

ships of Jurai use. A few seconds later they faded away and

Ayeka dropped to the ground.

Misaki and Funaho rushed over to Ayeka.

"What happened here? Is she OK" ask Azusa.

"She's fine. Ayeka just passed out we will take here back to

her room she needs to rest" came Funaho's reply.

"My Baby my poor baby! What has happened to you?!" a sobbing

Misaki cried out as she hugged the little girl.

"Yosho! Tell me now what happened here!" Azusa bellowed to

his son as he watched Funaho and Misaki head off with a

Sleeping Ayeka back towards the palace.

Yosho started to tell is Father and Grandmother Seto what

happened soon afterwards Azusa sent Yosho away.

"What are we going to do? If she can truly summon the power

of the Light Hawk Wings at will this could bring up problems"

Azusa said as he rubbed his beard.

"Yes this could be a problem if she is not careful the next

time who knows what could happen" Replied Lady Seto.

They both stood there trying to think of away of controlling

Ayeka's powers but were having no luck just as they were

going to give up a voice echoed in there heads.

(Bring her to the Royal Tree nursery)

Both of them looked at each other then head off after Misaki

and Funaho.

Later that day after Ayeka had woken up they took her to were

the trees of Jurai were grown.

After sometime of walking from tree to tree they came to one

of the more powerful of the 2nd generation Tree's.

It was this tree Ryu-oh that was to bonded with Ayeka and as

the bonding happened Ayeka received her Tiara.

Those who watched on heard a voice coming from all around

them.

"The tiara she now wears will keep her power under control

you must not let her take it off nor tell her of her

power. The day will come when she will meet another who can

also use the power of the LightHawk Wings" Everybody just

looked at each other.

"Was it Tsunami?" Asked Misaki.

"I believe it was" replied her Mother.

"I wonder who this other person she spoke off?" Questioned

Funaho.

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

{A/N so far Tsunami & Yosho have been telling the same story

but from here on its just Ryoko and Yosho talking}

"And let me guest the 'other' person is Tenchi!" Said Ryoko

before she drink more sake.

"Yes it is" said Yosho.

"So for all this time i had no hope in hell of getting Tenchi

to myself! Maybe it would of been better if he had just left

me in that stinking cave!!" Ryoko spat out.

"Ryoko i am sorry that you are hurting right now but there is

something else i must tell you"

"shore why not! Its not like i have anything better to do

with my life than sit here listing to you!" Mocked Ryoko.

Yosho could tell that Ryoko was hurting bad and don't need to

hear anymore but he had to tell her now.

"1 year before you attacked Jurai Tsunami came to me in a

dream"

----------------------FLASHBACK-------------------------------

Yosho stood in the middle of a field that starched for as far

as the eye could see he heard movement behind him he turned

round to see Tsunami there.

"Tsunami it is a great pleasure to meet you" said Yosho as he

bowed to the Goddess.

"Yosho i have a task for you, I know you wish to leave Jurai

to find yourself so i offer you this chance"

Yosho just nodded.

"Very well then i believe you know the name of the space

pirate Ryoko?"

"Yes i have heard of that name a very powerful villain if i

recall"

"Yes but she is not to be blamed for her actions. She is a

puppet for a man called Kagato. Everything she has done was

against her will it is my belief that she has a good sol that

just needs the freedom from Kagato clutches to achieve this"

"Are you asking me to stop this Kagato?" Questioned Yosho.

"No that fate has been destined to another what i ask of you

is just as important. You see a year from now Ryoko will

attack Jurai and on that day you must follow here Intel you

reach the remote planet called Earth"

Yosho's eyes widen at the mention of his Mother's home world.

"Yes the same planet were your Mother was born, there you

will face her in battle you must defeat her then in prison

her there on Earth Intel the time she is ready to be freed

again"

"How will i know when the time is right?"

"Funaho your tree will be with you to keep watch over her

also i believe that one of your descends will be able to help

her heal her damaged sol. I also believe this same person

will have the same power as your sister"

"I understand" replied Yosho.

"Good luck" Tsunami said as she disappeared.

"I think i might need it" came Yosho's reply.

-------------------END OF FLASHBACK---------------------------

"She asked you to do that to help me?" Ask Ryoko.

"Yes Ryoko she could fell your pain so she helped in the only

why she could at the time"

"Well, she may of helped me to be free of that bastard Kagato

but it doesn't help me with a brooking heart!" Ryoko cried

out.

"In time your heart will heal but a small part will always

belong to him"

"What the hell you know! Tenchi was the world to me! I

watched him grow up and all i ever wanted was for him to

love me the same way i loveed him! How could someone like you

know how i am feeling!" Shouted Ryoko in Yosho's face.

"But you are wrong i too know the pain you are feeling" Yosho

replied.

"I bet she was some palace maid!"

"No her name was Airi Magma of the Airai Royal Family we meet

at the Galaxy Academy. She was my senior at first it was

friendship between us but soon grow in to more that

friendship. But because of i was arranged to be married to

Ayeka as well as her own arranged marriage we had parted

ways. I still think about her to this day" Said Yosho as he

looked out towards the sky were the first stars were starting

to appear.

"I..I am sorry i didn't know" Ryoko said.

"Its aright you was not to know, Now it's getting dark i

think it best if we head back to the house before Sasami has

are evening meal ready"

Ryoko just nodded she knew she would have to face both Tenchi

& Ayeka soon so she might as well get it over and done with

they both started walking back to the house.

On the way back Ryoko couldn't help but think that Yosho was

hiding something else from her but if he had a good reason

for doing so she thought it best to leave it there.
