Prologue
Crisis at hand
---------------------------------
Katsuhiko Misaki sat in his little office and sipped green tea while he reflected on life and how things had turned out for him and his loved ones. His name was not always Katsuhiko Misaki once he went by the name of Yosho, First Prince of the planet Jurai. That was before he chased the space pirate Ryoko here to earth, the planet of his mother's birth, and crashed here. His decision to stay and live out his life here was not what concerned him right now. His main concern right now was the consequences of that decision and how that made things difficult.
His grandson Tenchi thought he had learned everything . . . he didn't know half of it. His seventeenth birthday would arrive in 2 months and he had a promise to keep. He had to reveal the truth about Tenchi's parents to him, soon. The girls and him would return from Asahi's wedding on Ryuten within a day or two, so he thought it would be a good idea if he got ready.
And with that he picked up the phone and dialed Noboyuki's home in Yokohama.
"Hello, Misaki residence," a woman's voice answered.
"Hello Reiya how are you doing?" The older man asked.
"I'm fine Father, but to what do we owe the pleasure of this call," Noboyuki's wife asked, "have Tenchi and the girls returned early?"
(A.N. she called him father because that is what her husband Noboyuki calls him and that is what Katsuhiko asked her to call him.)
"No they haven't returned yet actually I wanted to speak to Noboyuki if I could?"
"Sure," she said with a smile in her voice, "I'll get him for you."
After a time Noboyuki came on the line, "Father? What's wrong?"
Katsuhiko didn't say anything for a time, which lead the younger man to ask him again, "Father?"
"It's time," is all the former Prince of Jurai said, but it was enough for Noboyuki as he drew in a sharp breath in shock.
"I see," he said "are you sure? I mean we still have two months before he turns seventeen."
"Yes I believe he will need some time to come to grips with the truth and I will need some time to track down exactly where your wayward mother has ended up. Plus we promised to tell him before he turned seventeen not when he turned seventeen."
Noboyuki sighed and replied, "I see, well I'll trust your judgment on this. But I want to be there when you tell Tenchi and then later, mother the truth."
"Of course, of course," the older man said. "I'll . . . I'll . . ." he trailed off with a frown as he looked out toward the valley.
"Father? Is something the matter?" He heard Noboyuki ask from the phone.
". . . no . . . nothings wrong . . . I just . . . look I'll call you back . . ." Katsuhiko said and sat the phone down. But he was so distracted he missed the cradle and set the receiver on the table.
The squawked questions that came from the phone went unheard as the elder Misaki stood up and opened the shoji screen that lead out into the courtyard overlooking the valley. He frowned as he gazed about, he didn't know what it was but something was off, about the pastoral scene.
A tortured scream ripped through his mind with a bone jarring force as he fell to his knees, his head griped in his hands.
After a full minute the pain had grown more manageable and he realized his throat hurt from screaming out in sympathy pain.
It was then he knew what caused the pain, the pain that he felt in his very bones, "Funaho," he muttered with a gasp as he stood up and stumbled for a second.
"NO," he roared and he took off like a shot toward where the tree ship he is bonded to lied at rest. He didn't hear the strangled questions that came from the still off the hook phone nor did he realize that the illusion of an old man he has worn for so long had failed and revealed the young and handsome prince he is in actuality was.
He dashed down the steps that ran up the hill taking them ten at a time before he sped up even more. He skid to a stop for a second when he arrived at the turn for the path that lead to Funaho. The force of his stop dug a massive trench in the stone steps and threw hunks of rock and debris high into the air.
He dashed at full speed down the path for a second before he took to the air and bounded from tree branch to tree branch while he moved as fast as he could. The force of his passage ripped up the area he moved through it and blew the trees he jumped from into toothpicks.
He was filled with dread because of what he was feeling from his partner . . . pain, pain like he had never felt from her before even when they crashed and he thought she would have died.
He didn't think they would live at all after she took root here on earth but she began to draw power from the gems imbedded in Tenchi-ken and they lived on.
But now, he grew to dread what he was going to see when he got to the pond she was located in. But he had to know so he pushed himself even harder so he could get there.
---------------------------------
Noboyuki Misaki stared at the phone in worry as if he hoped it would tell him what was going on.
"Nobo?" Reiya asked as she pointed at his face shock on her face, "your illusion field?"
Noboyuki looked down and saw that his own illusion field had failed leaving his actual body reveled. Gone was the dumpy middle-aged architect and reveled was the coiled muscles and unlined face of a much younger man.
"Crap, what's going on over there?" He muttered with a curse.
"I have to find out," he said as he stalked over to the hall closet and opened a hidden panel in the back. From within he with drew a scabbarded sword, "stay here and keep the doors locked. I'll be back as soon as I can," he said as he turned to his wife.
She nodded before she grabbed him and gave him a passionate kiss, "be careful," she said before she lead him to the door.
"I will," he replied with a nod. Reiya Misaki smiled in a satisfied way when she noticed that he was still slightly dazed by the kiss.
One more quick kiss and Nobyuki is out the door the suit he was wearing now hanging loosely about his much more in shape form as he dashed to his car.
The Misaki Patriarch of Earth needed him and he wasn't going to fail him again.
To be continued,

End Notes:
Now I have only seen the first 3 eps of Tenchi OVA 3 so I am surmising some things for later, also some of the things I am doing are changes I have wrought because I am crossing several series over.
Reiya - was introduced in the first episode of Tenchi OVA three. She was Noboyuki's assistant and after his wife (Kiyone) died she did a lot of the cooking and taking care of Tenchi becoming a big sister like character. Now I am not sure if she and Noboyuki are going to get married, but I think that they are supposed to.
Asahi who I mentioned in this fic will figure more in the next chapter she had her first appearance in the manga.
As they come up I will give a little run down on the newer characters from the third OVA and the manga.
Also I hope you enjoyed this new prologue and let me know what you think. Also do you think I should just go ahead and take off the old version of this story.
Thanks for everything.
