Hello people... yeah, that's right, its Andrasani. I love you people so much. If you ask me, I am writing because I love doing it, and because there are people who love to read good stories. I'm comtemplating whether or not I should have made Crystal Wing of Life multi-chapter.
And without further ado, The First part of Crystal Wing of Life... (Andrasani's gonna kill me for this!)
Tairena was still soundly asleep in Andrew's room, while the nearest star began to zoom into view. The young, beautiful, angelic-like princess continued to rest happily. Her ruby blonde hair turned naturally red, and it was unusual for her to sleep so contently without one of her sisters asking her to wake up so she can make breakfast. Yesterday was quite eventful. Captured by her own palace guards, sent into exile, away from her mother and any contact from Garnith, and along with her sisters, she's with her father and her godmother. The other, Tenchi Masaki, is a teenager that her father and Washu knows. However, this was no ordinary dream, it was a recurring nightmare.
"Tairena... Tairena, can you hear me? It's me..." a voice called to her. "Please, come with me..."
"Who are you?" Tairena called. "Mother? Is that you?" A vague image of a woman that was similar to Tairena, but just a little shorter was present before the princess in her mind.
"Yes. Listen, I married your father for love once, but it was the reason that he cared for another woman over me, I had to get revenge."
"Mihoshi? She did nothing wrong." Tairena answered. "She used to he one of his students. Maybe he decided to help her along for a little while."
"I guess you should know. Mihoshi has a special relation to Andrew. I do now know what, but she's very important to him. I think she may be his fiancée to be after I die." Takori said. "He even invited her to several events involving the Becardo Family."
"I don't think so. You have to know something, mom. I trust dad. If he had a reason to look after his friend, then let him do it. You know he would do the same for you, and for Flucentra. However, you... it wasn't right. Why did you have to poison Flucentra, Mom?" Tairena thundered. "You think I didn't know about your plans to kill her and Ayane?"
"Hmm?" Takori innocently asked. "What are you talking about? I know nothing of Lady Flucentra's death. She was sick after she gave birth to Ayane."
"Oh, you think I didn't know?! Flucentra made you jealous! She was a lot happier than you were with dad! You are not the mother that cared for me. You are pure evil, Takori. An evil embodiment of my mother... she's already died several years ago."
"Tairena, it's okay. Well, let me tell you something, Little Miss Perfect Princess. I hate you. You're not my daughter. You're just like your father. A feminine Andrew. You know something? He doesn't have any parents, yet he's the Regent of Dipez. You know that?" Takori argued. "Oh dear Tairena, did you think that I wouldn't know? I'm going to kill all of you, including your father. You'll see." Takori disappeared, abruptly awaking Tairena from her nightmare.
"AAAAHHHH!" she screamed. Tairena started to pant heavily and then started calming down slowly. It was her mother's threat that awoke her... "I'm going to kill all of you, including your father." She then turned to the ceiling, and rested her head on the pillow once again. Her hands were sweaty and shaking and her body was twitching. She wanted to see someone to hold her, someone to comfort her. She then sat up on the bed with her head in her hands, sobbing lightly.
After a while, she stopped and turned to the weapon case with Crystal Wing. ' What's wrong with my mom? Why s she losing it like this?'
"Chronos, how long have I been sleeping?" she asked.
"Seven hours, forty-two minutes, and twenty-six seconds, Lady Tairena." The AI responded.
'Oh dear. I must have slept some time. I wonder if dad's okay? Did Takori threaten anyone else? Or was I the one she's after?'
"Lady Tairena, I couldn't help but notice that your energy level was increasing greatly and it equaled that of your father's when he was in the kitchen. Are you okay?" Chronos asked.
"Hmm... I just had a nightmare, that's all. Where is June?"
"She's sleep in her quarters."
"Where's my father and Ayane?"
"Searching..."
"What do you mean, searching?"
"Your father is not in this parallel of time, Lady Tairena." Chronos responded.
'He's left. Ayane went with him. Did Tenchi and Mihoshi go too? I wonder if they went to a nice place?'
"Do you remember anything?"
"No." Tairena answered.
"Your father and his fellow compatriots left 15 minutes before you fell asleep last night."
She sighed, and then asked, "Chronos, please, tell me what did they do last night?"
"Lord Andrew has entered a training field."
"Okay. 'Then they've haven't went far at all.'
"Whatever do you mean, Tairena?"
"It's simple. He probably wanted to hone his skills." She responded.
"Oh."
"Chronos, have you ever felt lonely?" Tairena asked.
"Lady Tairena, why are you asking me?"
"I'm lonely. I have no one to love me, and no one does love me." She answered. "I feel... hated."
"Lady Tairena, I think you are worried from your dream. Go see Master Tenchi and Lord Andrew immediately. Maybe they can help. Oh yes, I also have a transmission from a Little Washu. "
"Alright."
Tairena left towards the Spaceport Room, but along the way, she had to near June's room. It was simply annoying to have both oh her sisters with her, but, when you have a police officer and a cute, polite, boy around her age, this exilement might prove to be interesting. Mihoshi could be her mother is she wasn't a few years older than Tairena, and Tenchi could be her fiancée in no time flat, however... Hearing about his situation didn't make Tairena feel welcomed into his... "love life".
In three days, they have to return to Earth, and Tenchi would be home with his family.
Her walk proved to be quite a task, and as she found the Training Room, she saw the four of them, retiring from their regiment, and heading towards her.
"Hiya, everyone!" Tairena yelled.
"Hi!"
"Tairena, what are you doing? Get some breakfast made!" June sneered.
"Hello, dearie."
"Oh, hey, Tairena. What's up?"
asked a bewildered Tenchi. His hands were trembling a little and he looked... dishelved from his usual self.
"Well... take a guess. I wanted to speak with my father and Lord Tenchi." Tairena answered.
"Ayane, you make the food. I have to talk with them." She turned to Andrew and Tenchi, grabbed one of their arms, and pulled them both along grunting the words 'I have something to settle with you too.'
"Tairena, you can let us go now." Tenchi said. "What is it?"
"I had a nightmare. She's trying to kill us."
"You were right, Andrew."
"Takori was out for revenge. That means Lady Takori, her mother, is coming after us." Andrew said.
"Chornos?" Andrew asked. "I want you too..."
"I already received the order, Master Andrew. I will head to the Earth immediately. I also have several transmissions you to view."
"Ah! Something to pass the time. Perfect. Anyone tired?" Andrew asked. A short silence befell the gang, and then he continued, "Okay. In that case, start them when I get in my room. I think that training may have depleted us."
"And about Miss June?"
"She'll be fine. I'm sure you can entertain her."
"Andrew? Are you okay?" Mihoshi asked.
"My... no, not at all. I'm... feeling sick." Andrew whispered. He dropped to one knee, and then everyone quickly crowded him.
"Takori... his first wife. She really didn't like me very well. I used to help take care of Baby Tairena; and Takori became angry with me. It was because of me it happened, didn't it, Andrew?" she smiled at Andrew, who was heavily panting and angrily refusing to answer. "Andrew, maybe you should lay down. You're really pale," she touched his forehead and continued, "and you have a fever."
"No. I involved myself with the Galaxy Police. However, it wasn't was my concern for you, Mihoshi, which made her angry. It was Flucentra, my guardian since as far back as I can remember. Because Takori knew that Flucentra was a problem to our marriage, she wasn't too happy. Now, I've become an immortal, asking to be forgiven for my acts throughout my life so I can peacefully rest." Andrew explained. He stood onto his feet, slowly. "When I first met Takori, I was an ordinary teenager, just like you, Tenchi..."
"Andrew, but before you explain your childhood, let's sit in the kitchen." Ayane added.
"I'll only tell the beginning here. As we return to the Earth, I'll explain everything." Andrew answered.
The crew returned, albeit hesitant feelings to the kitchen. Tenchi's unnerving feeling continued to grow. Was Andrew going to explain his past? Was that story in the game part of it? Why was he in the game, and yet he was fighting against himself?
"Andrew, what are you?" Tenchi asked. "Are you Human or..."
"Half Garnithian, Half Juraian," he answered. "Avatar of Tsunami."
"No way." Tenchi gasped. "You... know of Tsunami, too?"
"I was the first one. Tenchi, she has taken a fond love for you. The difference between us is that I made a mistake. I killed my mother by accident." Andrew ashamedly added. "I traveled back to the past to prevent that incident. However, I protected my mother, but never met my father. So, I'm here to see both of my parents."
"Wow. So dad, does that mean we're no your children?" Ayane interrupted. "And our grandparents are here, too?"
"Ayane, Tairena, you are my children. Nothing will ever change that." Andrew answered. "Maybe I'll find my parents, but who knows. I saved the universe when I was about your age, Tenchi. However, my problem was one thing. Takori was the one girl I thought whom I could love forever. She's six years younger than I am, but I protected and raised her. Her parents left her while she was young. I was a Royal Knight, so we, the Knights, led by Lunar Cli Masters, led Crystal Island, one of the Four Kingdoms on Garnith. After a while with my own family affairs, and Crystal Islands, we all figured it would be best if that anything were to happen, hopefully a child would be born to Takori, to continue the Crystal Island bloodline."
"So, Takori was to be an impure ruler?" Tenchi asked. "Wouldn't that mean...?"
"No, I was to be the Ruler of Both Kingdoms. I couldn't handle all of that. So, I promised Takori that I would take care of our child, no matter what happens."
"So, is that why I rule Crystal Island and Ayane rules Dipez?" Tairena asked.
"Yes. I knew I could not rule, so I let my children so it. But I would be an Elder Guardian by then, and then I could keep an eye on both kingdoms and my children." Andrew admitted.
"Don't worry. Your mother is not going to get to you, Tairena." Tenchi reassured.
"Yeah! You have me, your father, and Tenchi to help!" Mihoshi chimed. "Let's go get some sleep and have some fun watching movies, okay?"
If there's anything I could always rely on, it's Mihoshi's ability to end something at the most inopportune time. Andrew telepathically sent this message to Ayane.
The crew then returned to their quarters. Tairena was lying down in her room when she heard Andrew and Tenchi talking. "If anything were to happen to Tairena, they'd have to go through us first. Maybe this could be harder than it seems. I don't think Tairena can last for much longer. If her dreams continue to build at this rate..." Tenchi started.
"Her body could become too much for her. Takori wasn't bluffing. She is after us. But... I would like to know why. Does she hate Tairena? Maybe it's Ayane? Or June, perhaps?
"Of course not! Any self-respecting mother loves their children."
"Or so we think. She could dislike Ayane and June."
"But what about Tairena?"
"I've given Takori what she wanted. She wanted Tairena to rule over Crystal Island." A silence came over both people, and then laugher erupted. Maybe Tairena was imagining things after all. Maybe it was just a nightmare. Or maybe, it was the truth.
'Oh please help me, father. I love you so much.' Tairena's mind whispered. 'I don't want you to die... you're the only person I love.' She began to sob in her pillow.
"Tenchi, do you like my daughter?" Andrew asked. "Tairena's about your age, and seeing someone comfortable on the throne wouldn't hurt at all. Besides, you're both Juraian."
"Wha? Oh come on, man!" Tenchi stammered. "Answer. She loves us both. Please, don't be mean to her and hurt her. She's very fragile right now, and we need to help her out." Andrew responded.
"Yes. I like her, and I like all the girls on Earth, too. Each has a different quality that's loveable about them." He stated. "Tairena reminds me of Ryoko, with a Sasami-like passion, and an Aeyka-like gracefulness. Technically, she's the scariest of the gang if you really think about it."
"Hmm... good point."
Tairena smiled. At least she knew her father and Tenchi cared. If anyone she wanted to care for her, it should be her family. However, she never forgot her sisters, too. They love her just as much, but in different ways.
She soon fell asleep hearing the last words... "I hope Tairena understands that we all love her." Her father's soothing voice rang in her mind just before she fell asleep.
Author's Notes: Yes, SnakeBlade again. I'm a little mad at Andrasani right now. She just posted a chapter and NOT told me! This is so bad...
Anyways....how'd you like the story? I know I'm making it short, but like I said earlier, I made a mistake and split the two stories up like an idiot. However, that's okay (I hope). But for now, the copyrights and stuff. Well, I should be fair and say that Tenchi and Mihoshi and all other characters from the series do belong to AIC and Pioneer respectively. Andrew, Tairena, and, Ayane belong to me, and my respective family members, so I guess I do not own them (except for Ayane, she's my little sister). Well, I would like to know how you felt, review!
This is when I'll end this part. I know that Andrew has one heck of a past, but remember- he is the Guardian of Time, the Fate Controller, and Protector of History. Also, I know I had no choice but to stop it here. I wish I could've fixed it up a little.
Tairena has problems, just as well as Andrew does. Takori now despises her proud and joyful daughter. The other part is that she feels unwanted due to this, and she feels slightly better than she knows that Andrew and Tenchi love her, despite the casual references of feelings.
Andrew's past is becoming a little more clearer, but a lot of it is shrouded in mystery. Does he know why Takori hates Tairena (that is, if she does)? What did Andrew, Tsunami, and Washu do that made Takori so mad that she divorced him in the first place? Who is June's mother?
Questions and answers will be revealed later on in our story. Maybe you'll be able to figure out before I write it eh? I would like to improve my skills so I can make work that people would like to read.
