Chapter 3-The Goddesses
"Why must you overthrow every emperor and king there is!"
"Can you two please stop arguing? We're a family."
"Why can't you two just understand! We're Goddesses! Chousin goddesses! The most powerful creatures alive! We gave birth to these humans, demons, angels and witches! We should be the rulers!"
Tsunami was ignored in the background as Washu and Tokimi continued their argument. She sighed in defeat. She knew her sisters wouldn't listen to her any longer.
"Humans have a right to live too, Tokimi," Washu protested. Minutes ago, Tokimi had tried to convince them to team up with her and rule the universe together.
"When did you suddenly have such a kind heart? Don't forget, you were the one who said their lives were nothing compared to ours! Or did you change your mind after meeting that Earthling?" Tokimi said in a challenging tone. She knew her sister's weakness. It was Tenchi Masaki, the unworthy Earthling who lives on a backwater planet called Earth.
"I don't have to answer that."
"You're not answering because you can't answer! You're in love with him...and you know very well the consequences of a goddess falling in love," Tokimi retorted.
"I really don't want to fight, Tokimi," Washu muttered softly. Her gaze fell onto the ground, "I really don't."
"Washu, you're my sister and the goddess of Chaos. I want you to have the best of everything. It's not worth it to give all that you process now for a man. There are plenty of other options out there. As a saying goes, don't give up a whole forest for one tree."
"As if."
"Fine! Be that way! I'll have to take your powers by force then!"
"You know you're no match for both of us, Tokimi," Washu said. No matter how powerful her sister is, she doesn't have control over her powers. She won't win.
"You're still learning, Tokimi," Tsunami spoke up at last.
"I'm sorry but I don't recall you being a part of our conversation," Tokimi said to Tsunami in a stay-out-of-this kind of tone.
"I'm only trying to stop you two. Why are you both arguing like that? Why can't we just leave this alone and continue with our happy lives?"
"Happy lives? The problem with it is that I am NOT happy! These ungrateful creatures ruins the shrines and temples and they refuse to believe in us any longer! They even doubt the existence of us! Do you really think we should just keep on pretending as if nothing happened and as if we don't exist! Don't you think they need to be taught a grave and memorable lesson?" Tokimi screamed with rage. She's really mad now. Ever since she came back from a visit to the mortal world, she was mad at how fast the people all seemed to forget about the goddesses' existence.
"There's always another way out, Tokimi. You don't have to rule the universe in order for they to remember us," Tsunami said. Quite frankly, Tsunami was fond of these humans...especially one that could get her older and emotionless sister to fall in love with. He must have been really something.
"I'll give you two another day to think about this. Washu, since you care so much about these humans now, you should know what damage a war between us three will cause to the universe," Tokimi said as she got up from her seat in the Goddess Domain. She swept her long dress back and walked out, the train of her dress trailing behind her as she walked.
"What should we do now?" Tsunami turned to Washu with concern.
"I'm not going to let any harm come to Tenchi," Washu said as she left too.
"But...we can't submit to her! The people will only be more miserable if she rules," Tsunami called out right before Washu steps out of the room.
"We're not going to submit..." Washu called back and vanished.
Tsunami slumped back onto her seat. 'Then what are we going to do?'
