An Evening Walk

Dinner was lovely, it always was. Sasami set a spread that the Iron Chef would be jealous of, it was amazing that she was able to this twice daily. Even more amazing however was that with all the conflicting personalities in the house they were able to eat a relatively peaceful meal. Of course there was the usual bickering between Ryoko and Ayeka over Tenchi, who sat uncomfortably in the middle of his two suitors. While the rest of the table would talk animatedly poor Tenchi was forced to stare at his food and eat quietly. Sandwiched between two opposing forces he had no choice but to stay silent, to open his mouth was to invite disaster. This was the price he paid for peace.

Across the table his plight didn't go unnoticed. Mihoshi looked around the table and watched as Washu and Katsuhito carried on a conversation whose topic Mihoshi could not even begin to fathom, Ayeka and Ryoko argued over choice morsels, while Noboyuki heaped praise onto a blushing Sasami. Through it all though Tenchi remained silent with downcast eyes looking extremely uncomfortable and rather sad. A lot of things could be said about Mihoshi but uncaring was not one of them. After all Tenchi had saved her life on more than one occasion and he had allowed her to stay here on Earth when she might have been called back to home office after the Kagato incident. He did his best to make sure everyone was happy and got only grief for his troubles. Well not this evening. This evening Tenchi was going to have fun at dinner. It's not like anything bad could happen.

"Tenchi could you pass the salt," Washu asked breaking off her conversation for a moment to garnish her food a bit. Instantly the hooded glares of the two time bombs on either side of Tenchi swung Washu's way. With a sigh Tenchi handed over the salt shaker not even looking up or to the side, he merely kept his eyes on the table and the food in front of him. After a few tense moments thing settled down again and dinner continued. Mihoshi oblivious to what had just occurred formulated her plan to bring some joy into Tenchi's life.

"So that's when we discovered astral energy affected space particles," Katsuhito droned on explaining Jurai propulsion systems to an enthralled Washu.

"Sasami, this grilled fish is the best," Noboyuki mumbled with a mouth full of said food while Sasami smiled thankful some one appreciated all her hard work.

"You pig!" Ayeka yelled at Ryoko as the cyan haired woman shoveled food into her mouth, "Show some manners when you eat!"

"You're one to talk Princess Moo Moo," Ryoko shot back viciously bowl still an inch from her face, "You've already had three bowls of the beef stew, trying to pad that sad bust line you've got?"

"At least mine isn't approaching points south of my navel demon," Ayeka sniped back, "Some one as OLD as you should consider wearing a bra more often."

"Now ladies," Tenchi tried to intervene before the house was reduced to rubble yet again. Both combatants instantly turned their angry glares towards the unfortunate boy who seemed to shrink under the heat of their combined wrath.

"Calm down you two," Washu chided willing to bare the heat of those glares and return them in kind. Eventually both Ryoko and Ayeka settled back down and dinner continued, only now Tenchi seemed more uncomfortable than ever. Mihoshi decided to make her move.

"Tenchi, the Star Festival is this weekend, do you want to go to town with me and tie wishes to the big tree they're going to have," now Mihoshi had never been known for her wisdom, but the instant the question had been asked she knew she made a mistake. The whole table fell instantly silent, every pair of eyes looking at her in wide astonishment. Then all hell broke loose. Ryoko's golden orbs narrowed into deadly slits as her lip curled up revealing her fangs. Ayeka spluttered for words while Washu, Yosho, Sasami, and Noboyuki ducked for cover.

Ryoko slammed one palm down onto the table her other fist cocked as she prepared to vault across the table and dismember the blonde GP officer. Unfortunately her hand slipped just as she sprang forward and ended up lurching sideways. Her fist clipped Tenchi upside the head, who up till this point had been staring dumbly at Mihoshi. Knocked from consciousness Tenchi fell face first into Ayeka's lap. This turn of events saved Mihoshi from imminent peril as Ryoko's ire was turned towards the site of Tenchi in Ayeka's lap. With a scream of rage Ryoko launched herself at her long time rival and the battle was on. Tenchi's unconscious form was soon forgotten as Princess and Pirate went at each other with abandon.

Sasami and Washu managed to drag a comatose Tenchi to safety as the furniture of the room was quickly being reduced to kindling. As the melee continued Noboyuki followed his son to dream land when a lamp collided with his cranium. Yosho calmly stood up and left the room dodging any number of flying objects on his way to the exit. Mihoshi stood there wishing desperately she could find a way to stop this violence. She knew this was all her fault, Tenchi had gotten hurt because of her. Unable to stand watching any more senseless violence and wanton destruction of her home Mihoshi turned and fled.

She ran out of the house and across the wooden bridge over the water of the lake, the sound of her feet pounding on the boards drowned out the voice of Sasami calling out after her. Mohoshi couldn't tell how long she ran, but she kept going till her lungs hurt and her legs were weak with fatigue. Leaning heavily against a tree Mihoshi looked around at her surroundings. She was standing at the edge of a cliff where the forest ended before a forty foot drop that over looked the countryside. Above her the sky was thick with clouds but a patch of clear sky in the west allowed the setting sun to paint the sky red and orange. Mihoshi stood there, one hand on the tree for support, looking at the beautiful site hoping Tenchi was ok. It wouldn't occur to her until later that she was lost. At that moment her thoughts were solely for the young man who had been hurt at her expense.

"Mihoshi," she heard his voice not far behind her filled with concern.

"Tenchi," she said loving the sound of his name.

"It's going to rain, we need to get back," he said coming up beside her.

"Stay and watch the sunset with me first," she pleaded not wanting to walk from such a beautiful sight. She felt him nod his head against her hair as he wrapped his arms around her resting his chin on her tanned shoulder. Above the sky rumbled announcing the coming storm, but still the couple stood there watching as the sun turned the cloudy sky from orange to red and finally purple. As the sun dipped behind the horizon Mohoshi felt his lips kissing lightly on her shoulder and she scrunched her neck at the ticklish sensation. At the sound of her giggles her merely continued his trail of kisses up to her neck until the laughter turned to moans of pleasure.

As the first drops of rain began to fall Mihoshi felt her back pressed up against the tree as Tenchi's hot mouth claimed her lips. Their tongues intertwined as Mihoshi buried her fingers in his hair holding him close. Soon his mouth left hers' and traveled upwards where he began to nip lightly on her ear lobe. Moaning with the pleasure of it she began kissing the sun darkened skin of his neck. As Tenchi ran his tongue over her ear she felt his deft hands slide her tank top up freeing her soft orbs. The feel of his shirt against her sensitive breasts as their mouth found each other again was pure rapture.

Again, however, Tenchi broke the kiss to travel down her chest and soon her stiff nipples were subject to his talented tongue and lips. She continued to rake her fingers through his dark hair as he lavished attention on her ample chest. Mihoshi turned her eyes skyward as the rain began to come down in earnest soaking both lovers but doing nothing to dissipate the heat of their passion. Luxuriating the feel of the rain on her bare skin she hardly noticed that Tenchi had left the region of her upper torso and was currently on is knees before her hooking his fingers through her panties before pulling them down to reveal her wetness. Caught up in the moment she hadn't even noticed him undue her pants.

Now with her shirt bunched up over her softly tanned breasts, pants around her ankles, and panties bunched at her knees she was totally exposed to deluge that poured down around them. A roll of thunder drowned out her own voice as Tenchi's skillful tongue found that most sensitive spot. She gripped the tree behind her to stay on her feet as Tenchi continued to pleasure her. She called out his name, proclaiming it loudly to the storm above.

Finally when she seamed near about to burst from the pleasure of it Tenchi stopped and came back to his feet. He kissed her passionately before turning her gently and pressing her against the rough bark of the tree. The sensation of the scratchy wood against her chest was in perfect opposition with the feel of his soft hands at her waist pulling her shapely bottom towards him. The dark sky was lit up with lightning as she felt him push into her. She gasped and cried out with orgasmic pleasure as he built up to a stead y rhythm. She held onto the trunk of her tree for dear life as they made fierce love under that stormy sky.

"Mihoshi," The sound of his voice startled her out of her thoughts and back into reality. She stood there leaning against a tree one hand over her heart trying to stop it from racing and when her blues eyes met his brown ones she felt her ears heat and knew she had to be blushing to the tips of her toes. Tenchi just stood there with an odd look on his face.

"Mihoshi, are you alright," he asked sincerely worried.

"I'm fine now, Tenchi," she said giggling nervously, "I'm sorry if I worried everyone."

"That's ok Mihoshi," he said smiling at her, "We'd better get back it's going to rain."

"Ok, Tenchi let's go back," she agreed looking at where the sun had drifted past the horizon. As the pair started back towards the Masaki residence Mohoshi took Tenchi's hand in hers and in a companionable silence they walked home. Just before they reached the bridge leading to the house Tenchi broke the silence.

"I really would like to go to the Star Festival with you."

Author's Notes

This has got to be the hardest one of these fantasies I've written yet. I had such a hard time trying to get into Mihoshi's head and mind set, I hope she's not too OOC here. That said this chapter is dedicated to those people who waited patiently for me to get to Mihoshi, I never knew she was that popular. I hope I lived up to expectations here, if not tell me why in a review. I've really enjoyed writing this stuff and I've learned a bit more about the characters having had to get inside everybody's head. I'm starting to run low on characters so I'm not sure how much of this is left. I think you can guess who is up next. Don't forget to leave a review, they make my day, keep 'em coming.
