This Story is set after the Tenchi Muyo! GXP series and it is base around the new OVA series. Also parings will be Ayeka + Tenchi + Ryoko. As I strongly believe that is what Masaki Kajishima has planned in the OVA. I don't know about the over girls but i truly believe that at lease both Ryoko and Ayeka will end up with Tenchi. Hell if Azusa can have two Wives why not Tenchi. And not forgetting Seina Yamada's eight Wives!!! Poor boy hehe.
Anyway on with the story. Chapter 1 Victory Is Only The Beginning.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In a valley deep in the mountains of Okayama sits the Masaki shrine along with the Masaki House that once resided in Okayama but some how made it's way to the spot it know sits beside the lake at the bottom of the valley. But to anybody visiting the shrine would not know that this was the home to some of the most powerful beings in the known Galaxy. One of these beings is Tenchi Masaki, A couple of years ago he thought he was a normal high school kid but that ended one summer then everything changed.
But you already know what happened so lets move forward.
Tenchi stood in the middle of a clearing in the forest that covers the nearby hills. With brokken in one hand he scanned the area for any sign's of movement. Time seemed to stand still and the forest was quiet. All of a studded there was a rustle of leaves behind him. Quickly he turned to meet the on coming attack. The sound of wood meeting wood echoed though the forest which made the bird's that were sitting in the tree's to take flight.
Tenchi jumped back from his attacker a young man in who looked in his midi twenties who had long black hair tried back in to a pony tail that ran to the middle of his back. With out hesitating he leaped forward to attack at the same time his attacker took to the tree's Tenchi soon followed. They leaped from branch to branch every now and again they would come to blows. Finally they reached a different clearing in it sat a large tree which was in circle by a small pond. This is the holy tree of the Masaki shrine otherwise known as Funaho.
Both were breathing heavy and standing opposite each other, Both seemed to be waiting to see who would make the first move. It was Tenchi who made the first move by launching himself in to the air then coming down on top of his target. But the attacker leaped to one side to avoided the attack. Tenchi's wooden sword smashed in to the ground. He didn't have time to think as he ducked the incoming attack. Unseen by the attacker he had grabbed a handful of dirt which he chucked in to the attacker's face. As his attacker stubbed back and tried to remove the dirt from his face and eye's Tenchi raised his brokken up and knocked it out of the other man's hands the sword landed some feet behind him. He then stood his ground with the brokken pointed at the attacker.
"Do you surrender?" Asked Tenchi to the man standing before him. "Yes you have won" Tenchi let out a sigh and lowered his brokken but also keeping an eye on the man before him. "Tenchi, Today you have finally beaten me. You have come fair in your training in the passed year".
Tenchi looked at the man before him, The man who he called Grandpa but on this day he didn't look like the man known as Katsuhito Masaki, The man before him was the great warrior Yosho Masaki Jurai. Not long ago he had revealed his true form to him soon the other's who lived with the young Masaki had learn of this as well.
"Thank you Grandpa" Tenchi bowed to his grandfather / sensei. He then watch as he changed back in to the former form of the old priest known as Katsuhito.
"Now off with you it's time you went to the shrine and help Ayeka sweep up" Katsuhito spoke in a tone of authority. "Yes Grandpa" With that the young Masaki turned and ran towards the shrine.
Katsuhito watched him leave. Behind him a woman appeared "He has become a very skilled sword's man" Katsuhito turned towards the woman and smiled and at the same time dropping his disguise. the woman walked up to him and gave him a loving hug "I believe it is time"
"You really think so?" He nodded to her "You know that girls will not be happy as they can't go with him" Yosho looked at his wife Airi Masaki who just happened to be not only chairwoman of the Galaxy Police Academy but Tenchi's grandmother but no-one would address her by that title or they would fell her rage!
"They will have to learn to live with out him for a time"
"Very well i will make the arrangements" With that she gave him a very passively kiss on his lips then teleported away.
Yosho turned to face the tree Funaho "Now we will see what your future is heading Tenchi"
Funaho shot lights down in to the pond in reply. "You think so as well? Well lets sit back and see what happens"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The sun danced though the tree's over looking the Masaki shrine buildings. Alone figure can be seen sweeping slowly in the grounds of the shrine. It was a young woman with dark purple hair which was styled into twin pony tails which reached almost down to the ground. Her name is Ayeka Masaki Jurai and also happens to be the first princess of Jurai.
She hum a unnamed tune as she sweep the path that lead from the steps towards the main shrine building. She suddenly looked up as she heard someone making the way the steps.
Her heart started to beat faster as she landed eye's on her heart's desire other wise known as Tenchi.
"Good afternoon Lord Tenchi. How was training with my brother go today?" She bowed as she greeting him.
"Good afternoon to you too Lady Ayeka, It maybe hard to believe but i finally beat Grandpa, Who would of belive it! Ha!Ha!" Tenchi laugh nervously and at the same time scratching the back of his head.
"Never mind maybe next.......WHAT!!!" She dropped her broom in shock at what Tenchi had just said to her. It was the first time since she had come to live in the same house as him that she had ever known Tenchi to beat her brother.
Tenchi was then tackle by her in a hug that could easily rival that of Ayeka's mother's bone crushing hugs.
"Umph.....Help!.....Can't......Breath!.....Ayeka!....." Tenchi struggled for air.
Ayeka leap back "Forgive me Lord Tenchi. I didn't mean to over react, I guest i was overjoyed by your victory" She turned to hide the red blush that had append on her face.
"That's aright i guest it was some what of a shock to me as well. If you are ok to finish her i will go start at the other end" With that he walked of towards the other end of the shrine. Along the way he picked up a broom.
"Very well Lord Tenchi" replied Ayeka before he had walked off. She let out a sigh before going back to sweeping.
Tenchi was not stupid he knew how all the girls felt about him especially Ayeka & Ryoko. He tried not to get to close to ever one of them in fear of the what other one might do if when they had find out.
His mind wondered back to the fight earlier with his Grandpa. He replayed every move in his head. He still couldn't believe he had won. He shock his head in disbelief as he though about it then went back to his weeping duties.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The sun was setting late in the afternoon other the Masaki house. Laying down on top of the roof was a very beautiful blue/green spiked hair woman. who in one hand held a bottle containing saki. Her name is of course Ryoko Hakubi the former space pirate who at this time was sitting up and looking over the lake as she drank. Her ears pick up the sound of two people approaching from the steps leading up to the shrine. A smiled appeared on her face. She knew who was coming so she teleported away.
Tenchi and Ayeka were just talking about this and that when Ayeka notice he had stopped. Tenchi closed his eyes then opened them a called out. "Ryoko! I know were you are so come out!" Ryoko appeared just in front of him with her hands behind her back.
"Tenchi you party pooper i was only going to have some fun! You don't know how boring it is round here with out you. Hey i know let's dump the princess here and go off and have some fun on are own" She walked up to him and removed on hand from her back then started to make little circles on his chest.
"Miss Ryoko i must assist you stop that right now! Lord Tenchi has no interest in a woman like you!" Ayeka commanded to her rival.
"And what do you planned to do princess!" Tenchi dislodge himself from Ryoko. He could tell a fight was coming as he watch Ayeka's logs appear and as Ryoko formed a ball of orange energy in one hand but still had the other one behind her back.
"Stop! right now!" Tenchi shouted. Thankfully both girls backed down when Tenchi spoke. "Can't you two go one day with out fighting?" They both lowered there heads. "Ryoko what have you got in your hand?" Ryoko broth round the had she had hiding behind her back. In it was a water balloon. "And just who was that for!" Questioned Ayeka. "Well you of course!"
"How could you be so childish!" Tenchi sighed.
[here we go again] Thought Tenchi as he watched the pair trade insulates they stop when they head a voice call out to them.
"Ryoko Ayeka,Tenchi dinner is ready" The three turned round and looked towards the house. Here standing on the poach was a tall woman with short green hair, Her name was Noike Kamiki Jurai stepdaughter of Seto Kamiki Jurai otherwise known as devil princess of Jurai.
All three made they way into the house Tenchi was surprise to see that everybody was there already. One side sat Washu Hakubi the greatest scientist in the galaxy. Next to her was officer Mihoshi Kuramitsu of the Galaxy Police, Then came his father Nobuyuki Masaki with his new wife Rea Masaki. This surprises Tenchi as it was rare his father came to visited this days. At one end of the table sat is Grandfather Katsuhito Masaki.
Tenchi took his seat next to both Ayeka and Ryoko. Tenchi was about to ask what was everybody doing here when Noike rendered from the kitchen with two plate's loaded with food.
One of which had smoked fish the other had pickles on. Following her was a small girl with blue/black spiky hair she also had brown hair all over her body. From looking at her you couldn't tell that this was Ryo-Ohki the most feared space ship in the galaxy.
She was of course carrying a plate of carrots!. The final person to enter was Sasami Masaki Jurai and second princess of Jurai also sister to Ayeka and Yosho/Katsuhito. She was carrying a large pot with rice in it.
Soon everybody was seated. Mihoshi started to reached for a pickle but had her hand slapped by Noike. "Ouch!" cried Mihoshi.
"YOU KNOW VERY WELL THAT LORD YOSHO WISH'S TO SPEAK BEFORE WE EAT!" Shouted Noike right at poor Mihoshi. Everybody else had got used to Noike's outburst at the GP officer. They put it down to the time they were partners in the GP.
Tenchi's Grandpa cleared is throat before speaking. "Today Tenchi took the next step in this training" He looked round to check that everybody was listing which they were. "He has finally beating me in combat"
The was a lot of gasps around the table. "Don't be to surprise we all know what power he holds. In light of this i have decided that he is ready to go test his skills. That why arrangements are being made by my lovely wife Airi, For Tenchi to take part in the Galactic Martial Arts Contest which is been held this year on Jurai"
Everybody tried to reply at the same time. "QUIET!" shouted Noike. "Thank you Noike" She nodded back to him "Now i know you all have questions but lets save them for later as the food is getting cold"
Everybody agree and started to eat expect two people one was Tenchi who was a little shocked at what his Grandfather had just said the other was Ryoko, Who had a sad look about her. Ayeka notice them both and decide to speak. "You know that my mother was the winner of the woman's division for 15 years in a row. She even entered the men's division in disguise and won!"
Sasami giggled before speaking "I remember Mommy showing me the picture's, She looked funny!" Every laughs at the thought of Misaki dressed up as a man.
"And i too won 6 years in a row as well before i stopped" Said Ayeka proudly.
Rea spoke "So why did you stop?" Ayeka looked down before replying. "After my sixth win i had decided to go looking for my brother" Rea nodded in understanding why.
"So why don't you enter this year Ayeka?" Said Sasami happily
"Why what a great idea! That way i can show Lord Tenchi the wonder's of Jurai! Just the two of us" When Ryoko heard this she spoke up.
"No way princess! If your going to go, then so am I! And i will take your title from you princess!"
"Bring it on, you space hussy!" Both Ayeka and Ryoko where glaring at each other, Over Tenchi's head. Before the two could trade more insults Yosho intervene.
"Nearer one of you will going, Only Tenchi, You two are staying here on Earth with the rest of us!" Said Yosho .
The girls were about to protest but he rest his hand. "No buts Tenchi needs to have no disruptions while he is there" He turned is attention back to Tenchi. "Now Tenchi, I know the though of you leaving Earth is not appealing for you at this time, But you will only be gone for about a month, And i believe the girls can live with out you for that period of time."
Tenchi nodded "I guest it will do no harm beaning away from the family for sometime. And it will help me understand more on what is out there"
[ Not to say give me some quiet time alone for a change. ] Thought Tenchi.
"Very well then, Now that's settle lets finish eating!" Everybody enjoyed the meal very much, And of course Ryoko & Ayeka fought other the food as always. After the meal Nobuyuki and Rea said there good byes to everybody before leaving for there apartment in the city.
Washu disappeared in to her lab back to what ever experiment she was working on at the time. Noike along with Mihoshi took the blows back to the kitchen to wash them up. But soon Mihoshi was kicked out for breaking a blow.
As for Sasami and Ryo-ohki they took off towards the Onsen. They always went in straight after dinner as later on the older girls always went there to drink saki and talk all way in to the night.
Tenchi had gone outside with his Grandpa to talk about the up and coming trip. Mean time Ayeka and Ryoko were sitting down watching the TV. A couple of minutes passed before Ayeka spoke.
"Ryoko" called Ayeka " Humm?" Repleid Ryoko who had her eye's locked on to the TV. "You seemed to be upset when my brother said he had entered Tenchi in the Galactic Martial Arts Contest ." Ryoko sat up a bit and looked at the princess sitting across from her. "To be honest i thought he was trying to take Tenchi away from me, By sending him to Jurai" Ayeka smiled and shook her head. "Ryoko some times you amaze me" Ryoko give her a questioning look.
"My dear Ryoko, Why do you still think Jurai is out to get you. You and I know very well that you have been cleared of everything that Kagato made you do."
Ryoko sighed before replying "I know that Ayeka, But i can't shake the feeling that i am the most hated person in the galaxy! Do you have any idea how that feels!"
"No i do not. But in time other's will learn that you are not the demon of Jurai, But Ryoko Hakubi, As i have come to realize." Ryoko looked right at the princess and gave a small smile then she said "Thank you" Ayeka smile back and gave a small head nod. Then Ryoko broke out laughing.
"What in the world is so funny!" Demanded Ayeka. "Us!" came Ryoko's reply. Ayeka gave a confused look. "Here we are having a serous talk instead of bitting each other's head's off" Ayeka's eye's widen before she started to giggle which started Ryoko off again. Tenchi pick this time to came back inside after talking with his Grandpa. When he came to the pair of giggling girls he lifted an eye brow before head up to his room. His last thought which was [ That's rare to watch those two getting along, I just hope its not a one off ]
