I don't own Tenchi Muyo

"So Ayeka are you going to go swimming in the pool?"

"Only if you want me to Sasami."

"Yeah it will be so much fun!"

"I'm sure."

I gazed down at the blue haired girl, my sister. There is nothing I wouldn't do for her. So if she wanted me to go swimming with her I would.

We changed into our bathing suit. She had a one piece blue suit. I had a two piece purple one with black slash across both parts.

She gripped my hand and rushed us out to the pool. The others were already there and Sasami took me to the top of the diving board. Everyone was either playing in the water or in Washu and Hotsuma cases typing or sun bathing.

Sasami wrapped her arms around me and we both jumped at the same time giving perfect dives. We kept sinking into the waters. Finally we rose to the surface
.

"Wasn't that great!?"

"Yes, Sasami but I am cold. But tit was quite refreshing."

"Hey Ayeka, Sasami! You guys want to play water tag?"

"Can we please Ayeka?"

"Sure."

The game had started. Thought my ears were slightly filled with water, I could hear Hotsuma and Washu curse about being wet while they were relaxed.I was a little confused as to why he would want me to join in the game. I mean could he not see the death glares coming off of Ryoko?

Or was he completely oblivious to them?

We swam over and no one wanted to be it so Tenchi volunteered. He began to count to put distance between us and him.

Since me and Sasami are born Juria we are born in tune with nature. So the both of us held large breaths and dive deep. We could hold are breathes for up to 15 minutes. As long as Tenchi didn't see us he would not catch us.


ABOVE THE WATER. TENCHI P.O.V.

I saw everybody scramble but Ayeka and Sasami were no where to be found.

I got close to tagging Ryoko but she dived off the board so I followed. That is when I saw a glimpse of purple and blue.

Sasami...

Ayeka...

They saw me and scrambled to different side of the pool. I know it was wrong but I swam after Ayeka powerful legs cut through the water sending my body over the edge to keep up.

It had been a long time since I had seen Ayeka swim. She moved deathly fast, and it was all I could do from losing her speed.

AYEKA P.O.V.

What the hell was he doing!

He was getting himself deathly close to get his ass kicked by Ryoko. I kicked to the surface to avoid him and get some air.

As soon as I broke the surface I met face to face with the others. They all looked amused except Ryoko. She looked upset. This was a mistake. One I should not have played and let Sasami play and two, Tenchi pulled me under.

Damn studying them I didn't get the chance to run. Thank Kami the pool was painted black or else the clean blue water would have gotten me killed for what Tenchi did next.

He continued until we where face to face under the water. He turned me around and wrapped me in his arms. I blushed from the contact that I had not had in so long.

He sent me a telepathic message:

(I got you so that makes you it now Ayeka.)

He still did not let me go though.

(So let me go Tenchi I'm it.)

Once again I stayed in his grip.

(Have you forgotten this is help tag, now we both are it.)

I had forgotten that part up until now. He still did not let go and I was beginning to freak at what Ryoko could do so I put a stop to this.

(Let me go then so I can help you. While you hold me down here the others are getting away. I can guarantee you Tenchi you will not catch them all without my help.)

I begged for his touch. Secretly I did not want him to let go. But I know he would get into an argument with Ryoko later for this.

(Alright then lets go.)

So he let me go. I went after Sasami but could not shake off the feeling as to why he held me like that. All he had to do was tag me and explain this was help tag.

LATER ON (BOYS AND GIRLS HAVE TO HAVE DIFFERENT ROOMS. Hotsuma made this up.) TENCHI P.O.V.

Why in the hell did I hold Ayeka that close? What the fuck was I doing? Not to mention one she felt uncomfortable but after a while she relaxed.

Ryoko was furious because of jealously. Washu calmed her down some. Sasami took Ayeka somewhere on the ship.

What did I do? Somewhere the more I thought about I didn't really care if Ryoko was upset.

Why?

What the hell is up with me?

Holding Ayeka, feeling her close. Her warm skin in the pool. It relaxed me. I had not held her that close in a long time. I had forgotten what she felt like.

Yet she squirmed from my touch.

Slightly.

I got up and put a shirt on. Since Sasami had her own room. Tonight I was going to set things straight with Ayeka.

Tonight I was going to apologize.
