So I forgot to say it last chapter for both chapters Disclaimer: I don't own Tenchi Muyo.

Hotsuma looked over his glasses to Kiyone. She caught him starring at her for the third time!

'Damn'

The only reason he was looking at her was to glare. They were playing an earth game on the boats sunny deck, checkers and Kiyone was winning for the third time.

"Stop starring before you stare through me!"

"I am not starring!"

"Liar you did it three times!"

"I did not!"

"Did so!"

"I am not going to argue with you Kiyone seeing how it is beneath me."

MEANWHILE

Tenchi had yet to grasp the words of Sasami they plague him again and again. When he closed his eyes all he saw was Ayeka's smile and he could hear Sasami. Her words like a broken record in his head.

He shook his head trying to rid it of the repeated words.

ANYWAY WITH SASAMI

She sat there in her sister's room watching her sleep when Tsunami contacted her again.

"Thing are going to change little one."

"Yes I've felt the rift between Ryoko and Tenchi grow again, could Tenchi be the man to make Ayeka happy again?"

"Little one that information is held from us as it is to her. We cannot say."

"Tsunami I only want to make her happy. When she hurts I hurt and I'm sad that I can't do anything to help her."

"Sasami... your existence... it helps... You being you make her happy, trust me I know."

With that the link was broke.

LATER AT THE PRIVITE DINNER

There was one long table and everyone sat. Of course this dinner was a dress to impress, so everyone looked good.

Tenchi let Ryoko sit first than himself next to her. Ayeka sat across from Tenchi because the seat was available. Sasami across from Ryoko. Washu across from Mihoshi and Kiyone across from Hotsuma.

There was a lot of tension. Tenchi could see that. Ayeka's eyes were locked to her lap and she was nervous.

"Come on guys smile be merry something?"

"I would be happy Tenchi but it is hot the air thick with...

"With what Ryoko?"

...Prissy first heir Juria smells."

At that moment Sasami let lose no longer was she holding back because hate buried in her burned.

Tsunami was released.

Everyone watched as sasami's happy eyes narrowed in mock anger, her once innocent nature turned to that of a cold and calculating one.

Tenchi spoke first but not to Ryoko's crude words but yet Sasami's demeanor, which further anger Tsunami.

"Are you okay? Sasami?"

"Sasami is gone Tsunami resides now. The pent up frustration leads to something in which she let me give into her desires."

"Whatever"

This was the reply of Ryoko but come soon she wish it weren't.

"You dare mock me as a brush off?"

"Your just Sasami's alternative side."

It happed so fast some could not catch it. Tsunami's hand shot forward and slap Ryoko the force was so sudden and sharp so like Hotsuma rubbed his on face.

"You bitch I'll make you-

She never got to finish Ayeka stood up and back away, not be because she was afraid of Tsunami no she had met and talked to Tsunami many times they enjoyed each others company it was...

Before Ryoko could finish in the same fast motion Tsunami reached over the table grab a fistful of Ryoko's hair and slammed her into the table.

"Pay Ryoko, was that the word? The one in which you needed? On the tip of your tongue?'

"You---

"Shhhhhhh"

She put a tender finger to Ryoko lips and brought her up to face her.

Ryoko was now too shocked to do anything but stare as she brought her in a motherly type hug and began to pet her head.

"Just so we are perfectly clear...

She whispered into her ear...

... You will respect Ayeka and me...

...the petting became almost a smooth caress that Ryoko might have enjoyed under different circumstances...

... Should you not you will enrage me again...

...Tsunami got lower to Ryoko's ear so only she could understand...

...And you will face my wrath as in which I can assure you will be most unpleasant."

The petting sent shivers down Ryoko's back but that was soon forgotten as she was backhanded hard by Tsunami.

"I bid the rest of your meal well."

Tsunami acted as if nothing happened and walked over to Ayeka grasped her hand and left. But personally the other four thought she had gotten what was coming.

Well that was it next chapter will be confrontations see you then!!!!!!
