Its Always Been You

Tenchi was standing outside his house alone. Kiyone and Mihoshi were gone on some big mission out in space. He wasn't too worried though. Kiyone had assured him that she would be fine and come back to him soon. She'd only been gone a day and already he missed her terribly. Tenchi started to think of other issues to get his mind off the subject of his absent object of affection. His father was getting marred. Apparently on all his business trips, he would also meet with Setsuko, and they got to know each other. Turns out they had been dating from sometime, and on this trip Nobuyuki popped the big question and she accepted with tears in her eyes.

She was a nice woman, a little shorter than Tenchi with black hair and a round face. She also took to all the girls like a mother. His father had explained everything about them to her so no surprises were in store, except for the fact that Tenchi and Kiyone were dating and Ryoko had yet to return.

"Speaking of Ryoko I wonder were she is. Maybe I should ask Washu and go look for her." Tenchi thought. Just then the sound of footsteps behind him were heard. He didn't turn around, but was surprised when Setsuko appeared next to him.

"Beautiful night isn't it Tenchi dear?" she had adopted calling him that and he like the fact she was trying to befriend him.

"Sure is." He responded absentmindedly

"You miss her, don't you." It was a statement

Tenchi smiled and that at her, "Am I that obvious?"

"I used to look exactly like that when your father would leave to return home. I'd stare off into space wondering when he'd come back to me, and if he was safe." She informed Tenchi

"You hit the nail on the head," Tenchi chuckled, liking the woman a little more, "I don't know what to do with myself while she's gone. Everything."

"Everything seems to slow down until she comes back." Setsuko finished

"Yeah exactly." Tenchi whispered in amazement

"You and I are alike, Tenchi dear. We're both very dependant on the one we love, and need their presence to be truly happy."

"You must really love my father then, if you feel the same way for him as I do about Kiyone." He spoke

"Yes I love your father, but Tenchi in no way am I trying to replace your mother. I." But Tenchi interjected

"I know you won't try. But I barely knew my mother. So if I ended up thinking of you as my mom, then"

"I won't mind at all," Setsuko finished, "Come on its getting late, and its time for bed young man." She mock scolded him

"Yes mam." Tenchi saluted and turn to head in

Once they got back inside, Tenchi bid her goodnight and went upstairs and into his room. Setsuko headed for Nobuyuki's room and found him sitting at his desk.

"I saw you speaking with Tenchi outside." He pointed out

"Yes, we had a little chat." She revealed

"I hope he wasn't rude to you." Nobuyuki said

"No, I think he likes me. He may even come to see me as his mother one day." Setsuko told him

"What makes you say that?"

"He told me so himself."

"That's good. I was hoping you two would get along. He was so troubled last I saw him; I thought a motherly figure would be good for him. But I guess now that him and Kiyone are together his problems are solved." He said to her while moving to sit on the bed.

"I glad he chose also. Kiyone is a very nice girl and is perfect for him."

"Yes I agree. Kiyone is just what Tenchi needs. She is someone who'll keep him in line and still love him no matter what. She is a police officer you know."

"I know. You told me all about them all. I'm still waiting to meet this Ryoko though." She replied

"Well according with Tenchi and Washu, she left after Tenchi revealed his choice, but will be back soon."

"I hope the poor dear is alright." With that they turned off the lights and went to sleep

A little later that night, Kiyone and Mihoshi returned from outer space. They snuck in quietly and headed off for bed. Instead off going to her own room, Kiyone turned and went into Tenchi's. Mihoshi never notice as she was practically sleepwalking. Upon entering her boyfriend's room, Kiyone knelt next to his bed and observed his sleeping face. She gently stroked his hair, and thought of how handsome and peaceful he looked asleep. As she was rising to leave, something grabbed her wrist. She looked to Tenchi was awake.

"Were do you think you're going?" He asked sleepily trying to suppress a yawn

"To bed." She answered simply

"Stay with me tonight, please?" He begged

"Sure." She agreed laying down next him

"I've missed you, Kiyone." Tenchi whispered into her ear

"I missed you too," she repeated, "But I'm back and good news. Mihoshi and I got a weeks vacation."

"That's a whole week of guaranteed no mission," Tenchi spoke, "We'll have to plan something fun while it lasts."

"Let's plan in the morning," Kiyone yawned, "I'm tired."

Tenchi leaned down and kissed her soundly on the lips. They drifted off to sleep wrapped up in each other's arms

Tenchi was the first to awaken the next morning. He looked to see Kiyone with her head resting on his chest and still in deep sleep. Tenchi lay there completely unmoving afraid he'd wake her.

"She must have been very tired when she came in last night. What time was it anyway?" Tenchi thought

He studied her face while she slept. She was remarkably beautiful to him. How in world he managed to make such a wonderful woman fall in love with him was unknown. Tenchi could no longer resist the urge and leaned down to kiss her. She awoke almost immediately and, after a second to realize what was happening, she kissed him back. They broke the kiss after a few minutes.

"Wow, what a great way to start the day," Kiyone beamed a huge smile at him

"I couldn't help my self." Tenchi told her

"Well I don't mind. That's a great way to wake someone up." She poked him in the stomach

"I didn't mean to wake you up. You must still be tired, go back to sleep and I'll bring you up something to eat later." Tenchi commanded, while trying to get up

"OH no you don't. If I'm sleeping in, so are you." And she yanked him back down on top of her

"If you insist." Tenchi joked

"I insist." She stated locking her arms around Tenchi's neck. He in turn snaked his arms behind her and rested his head on her chest. Tenchi sighed.

"Comfortable?" Kiyone asked as he snuggled his head deeper into the valley of her breast.

"Very." Tenchi confirmed, and at this point Kiyone started to run her fingers through Tenchi's hair.

Tenchi and Kiyone decided to spend the whole day in Tenchi's room. When Sasami came to get Tenchi for breakfast and they told her of their plans. She reported it to the rest of the house who merely laugh, even Ayeka, though hers was a little forced. They had just finished breakfast, and Tenchi was lying with his head on Kiyone's lap. They were talking about random things that came to mind.

"So Tenchi what do you think about Miss Setsuko?" Kiyone asked

"I think she's really nice. We talked last night and we have a few things in common." He responded

"Like what?"

"Well we both stare off into space when we're lonely." He told her

"When were YOU lonely Mr. I-got-six-girls-living-in-my-house?" Kiyone teased

"Yesterday while YOU were gone." Tenchi answered seriously

"Oh, Tenchi." Kiyone leaned down a little showing she wanted to be kissed. Tenchi lifted himself up and gladly granted her request. His tongue gently ran across her lips and she promptly opened her mouth. Theirs tongues met and they proceeded to explore the others mouth. Tenchi sat up fully and gently grabbed Kiyone's shoulders and laid her down. They continued kiss and Kiyone moaned. Tenchi never even notice his growing excitement, but Kiyone did.

She broke the kiss and said, "Tenchi, are you that happy to see me?"

Tenchi took a minute to realize what she meant, "Eh! Oh boy." And he blushed wildly while backing away.

"Don't worry Tenchi. Why don't you let me handle that?" and then she started to crawl towards him on her hands and knees. When she reached him, Kiyone opened up his pants exposing his most private body part. She opened her mouth and leaned down towards it and . . .

Tenchi woke up with a jump. He looked over and saw Kiyone sleeping peacefully next to him.

"Was that a dream?" Tenchi asked himself

"Was what a dream?" Kiyone asked him now awake

"Um, um. N-nothing." He tried to cover

"Come on Tenchi, after what we did earlier, you can't tell me about a dream you had." She pointed out to him

"YOU mean that wasn't a dream?" Tenchi exclaimed loudly

"Yeah we just spent the entire morning, and then we kissed and fell asleep. What do you think I meant? What were you dreaming about?" Kiyone questioned

"Well I dreamed that we were, um," he leaned down to whisper the rest in her ear.

"OH, um, Tenchi I want to wait until after we're married for that." Kiyone said blushing lightly

"Yeah, yeah. Sure, whatever you want." Tenchi assured

"So what exactly happened in your dream?" Kiyone asked mischievously

Tenchi gulped, then smirked and went into detail about his dream. (Details that I won't tell you )

Later that day Nobuyuki was walking bye Tenchi's room when he heard giggling coming from inside. He stopped to listen and recognized Kiyone's voice. His mind immediately thought the wrongest thing possible as he silently cheered his son on.

"That's my boy. Looks think I will get grandkids before I die." He thought

"Nobuyuki! What are you doing?" a irritated voice asked from behind him

The giggling from inside Tenchi's room came to an abrupt halt.

"Sshh." Nobuyuki tried to shush Setsuko who had stuck up behind him

"Dad, what's going on out here?" Tenchi asked poking his head out of his room. The door came all the way open to reveal Tenchi and Kiyone fully dressed in their pajamas.

"Darn, and I thought I was finally getting grandchildren." He accidentally said aloud

"DAD." Tenchi yelled

"Nobuyuki," Setsuko scolded, "Leave them alone and come downstairs, now."

She then grabbed his ear and hauled him away.

"OW, OW, OW, OW." Nobuyuki complained all the way down the stairs

"Your dad's weird," Tenchi heard Kiyone say as he closed the door and turned around

"Yay," Tenchi agreed, "Say what are your parents like?"

Kiyone then went into great detail about her family, as she and Tenchi continued to lie around his room for the day.

"Well my dad's a government figure, and my mom's a famous diplomat," She started, "They actually met at a government function and it was love at first sight."

She continued on about what she knew of the dating experiences and how the were married within a six months, Kiyone being born twelve months after the wedding.

"Wasn't that kind of fast?" Tenchi asked

"No not really. Like I said before woman from my planet know what they want and they know how to get it." She told him

"And how exactly do you women get a man to propose so quickly?" Tenchi question with a small smirk

"I can't tell you that."

"Why not?" He whined

"Cause then it won't work when I do it." She stated matter-of-factly

Tenchi grunted and laid down face down on his bed. Kiyone giggled and sat down on his back.

Outside the Masaki household, Ryoko stepped near the front entrance. Taking a deep breath she opened the door and stepped in.

"Ryoko your back." It was Ayeka

"Yeah I'm back Princess. So where's Tenchi?" she asked

"Well he's up in his room, but I don't," Ayeka tried to warn but it was too late, Ryoko had already fazed away. "Uh oh."
