Chapter Seven: No need for…?



The next morning

For some reason, it was a cloudy day. Perhaps it would rain again, and perhaps it wouldn't. Whatever explanation there was for it, the sky was a flat, uninteresting expanse of white.

This was certainly a day to sleep in, and Tenchi felt all warm and snuggly in his bed. The dull white light coming through the windows filled the room with a soothing aura that put the mind at ease. It too was warm, and gave him a wonderful feeling of serenity, something he sorely needed. In the back of his mind he knew he had a hangover, and that knowledge prevented him from moving around very much at all.

Alcohol was something that never sat well with Tenchi. His memory of the night before was foggy at best. The only thing he could recall at the moment was promising himself that he would reveal the truth to Ryoko and telling her he'd help her break her addiction by downing a whole bottle of vodka.

There wasn't much logic in that course of action apparently, because in the end it made him do something he might have regretted.

Several seconds later, Tenchi finally became aware that there was someone else in the room with him. More specifically, someone else was in the bed too, under the covers, and lying on top of him to boot. The painful comprehension of recent events scared the hell out of him, and he went rigid like a board, trying not to breath or make any sounds. He dared not look down to see whom it was, but it didn't matter, because Tenchi already had a good idea as to this person's identity.

She shifted position a bit in his arms, and placed her head on his strong chest, pushing a few strands of cyan hair into Tenchi's face. The girl was bare from the waist up, but she seemed to be wearing a pair of the Juraian prince's boxer shorts. Her long, slender legs were wrapped around his, while her arms were coiled around his shoulders, and she appeared to be cuddling him like an oversized teddy bear. For a second or two she stirred and subconsciously matted down her hair so it wouldn't be in her lover's face, then returned to her original position.

Quite groggy, but also very curious, Tenchi lifted the covers and gazed for a long time at what he saw. Her smooth curvaceous hip lay against his pajama bottoms as her head rested on his chest. Her leg was curled around his and her arms were draped over him as well. It was, by far, the most erotic thing he had ever seen. Confused, Tenchi finally put the covers down and lay there rather flabbergasted.

Realization of what had happened hit Tenchi like a speeding freight train. The memories of their shared passion flooded his mind, sending a hundred different emotions surging through his cerebral cortex. For just a second, he felt guilty and wanted to run away from the problem like he'd done so many times before, but Ryoko was beginning to wake up.

Her amber eyes fluttered open and she gazed at him, smiling warmly.

"Good morning there, lover boy," Ryoko said in a sultry tone of voice.

"More like lover man, if you ask me," she thought a moment later.

"Good um…good morning there, Ryoko-chan," Tenchi replied, smiling nervously at her.

For a second, the half naked young lady on top of the prince gave a strange look, then rolled off him and onto her back. She put her right arm underneath Tenchi and draped her left over his chest, then turned to face him. Ryoko then put her head on his shoulder and began to whisper into his ear.

"You're the greatest Tenchi, I don't care what anyone says," she told him in a dreamy tone of voice. "Last night was absolutely perfect. It was like you were more inside me than anyone could have possibly been. Just absolutely amazing…"

"Oh, gee…well thank you," he replied, taking it as a compliment.

The voluptuous pirate rolled her eyes and laughed heartily.

"Sorry, but that's not what I meant," Ryoko said to him. "Last night…it was like you read my mind and knew just what I wanted, and then you did it! And you're not exactly a small man either, my Tenchi, so that made it even more incredible!"

Becoming red in the face, the prince could do little more than stare at the girl as she closed her eyes and tried to recall their shared passion. Ryoko had always seemed to be loud and coarse and obnoxious, but now, as she lied quietly in his arms, Tenchi for the first time realized how soft she really was. He also understood that there was now no going back to the way things were now that he'd chosen Ryoko. Life with the girls could become impossible, especially with Ayeka, who was still holding out against all odds that he was in love with her.

Although his mind was still a little cloudy, Tenchi did at least feel happy. He was, after all, in bed with a half naked Ryoko. At the same time however, the prince wished he could remember how he'd professed his love to the pirate. That part of his memory was all a haze, made dark and murky by a bottle of well-aged Russian vodka, but luckily, Ryoko was nice enough to remind him.

"I guess you can hold your liquor better than I thought, my Tenchi," she said to him. "You really know how to sweep a girl off her feet. I oughta get you drunk more often if I can get those type of results!"

"Who'd ever have thought this guy is such a dynamo?! He started off kinda slow, but then he got into it and was all "I love you, I love you" with every thrust!" Ryoko thought a second later, her mind and heart racing. "Oh, and just the concept! He loves me! Tenchi waited for the perfect moment just like I always knew he would!"

For a moment or two, the prince still felt great remorse about barely remembering the words that won Ryoko over. Her next thoughts however, erased that from his mind completely. Ryoko couldn't see it, but just then an uncharacteristically smug grin made it's way across Tenchi's face.

"The man was on fire!" she thought. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Tenchi Masaki is a sex god!"



Note: That's all there is for now, but it's FAR from over. I posted this just to tell everyone that I'm not dead and am still working on the Story. I hoped you all liked it! What kind of crazy stuff is gonna happen to Tenchi now? Who knows, I haven't written it yet.

Here's hoping I get some motivation!

Peace Out,
