Chapter 2: Midnight meetings
Maki sat up in bed coughing, a dry cough 'not a good sign, I hope I'm not coming down with a cold' *she sighed* All of a sudden there was a knock at the door and Tenchi's voice was heard through it "Miss Maki are you alright in there?" She slipped on a thin white robe, with blue and purple flower on it, over her light blue tank top and pajama pants then walked to the door.
Tenchi saw the door open and her head poked out. The two peaces of hair at the end of her bangs, that went slightly lower then her hair, tied in the middle with tiny rubber bands, hung in her face. Tenchi began to wonder 'does she sleep with those things in?' Maki smiled at him and snapped him out of his thought "I'm fine" Tenchi smiled back and said "well I was going down stairs fro a midnight snack cause I couldn't sleep care to join me?" "Sure, even though it's 4 and ½ hours past mid night why not?" she replied and the two went down stairs.
Tenchi put a tea kettle full of water on the stove and got out some gram crackers "you don't mind having hot chocolate and gram crackers do you?" Maki shook her head and asked "do you mind if I help?" Tenchi laughed "you certainly don't like having things done for you do you?" "nope" "ok then you can make the hot chocolate after the water is ready" Maki sat down on a stool placed in the kitchen "fine with me" Tenchi sat on the stool next to her.
"So Tenchi if I'm correct you have a decision on hand, and you can't talk to Mihoshi cause she's well her, can't talk to Washu because she's so busy, Sasami's too young, Kiyone doesn't seem like the type to chat with on the subject, Aeka and Ryoko are the ones in question so not them, your grandfather doesn't want anything to do with it and your dad is well a pervert so you can't talk to him about it." *sigh* "I guess that leaves me." Maki smiled at him and Tenchi just stared 'she's only been here for ½ a day and she already knows it all' Maki took a bite out of a graham cracker and swollowed it to say "so I suppose you wouldn't mind hearing my opinion on the two?" Tenchi scratched the back of his head "you certainly are forward about things aren't you?" Maki giggled "only when I feel comfortable around that person, and I'll your answer as a yes." She handed him a graham cracker and took a bite out of hers before continuing.
"Ok, I'll start with Aeka, she's a bit snobby but kind hearted, pretty, smart, is the princess of Jurai, and loves you very much, even though to me it appears to be more of a crush because you were kind to her in a different way, she also seems to fight over you because Ryoko wants you, just like they fought over the remote and the last cookie today, she also is the one to make the first blow."
Maki took a deep breath and ate the last bite out of her graham cracker while Tenchi just sat there nodding his head and chewing. "Ok, Ryoko's turn, she's got quite the attitude, a bit of a temper and tends to blow things up, she appears to love you just as much as Aeka maybe more, the only difference is the way she flirts, she feels her way is safer so she will not get hurt, that is unless you yell at her. Ryoko has a firry spirit and a strong personality she just happens to be a wanted criminal but I believe she is past that stage of her life."
Tenchi sat there his right eye twitching 'she knows them so well, exactly as I do….maybe I should stop her….to late' and so Maki began talking again "your problem is that you look at it the wrong way." Tenchi looked at her confused "I look at what the wrong way?" Maki shook her head "the way you should choose, number one: you try and figure out which one loves you more that way the other one would be less hurt, number two: you try to see your self in the future with that person and the one you can must mean that's the one for you…correct?" Again Tenchi was twitching "yes" Maki sighed "look the problem with this is, Ryoko appears to love you more so you lean towards her but….since Aeka is the princess of Jurai you know what the future would be like so you can picture it, but with Ryoko you can't cause there is no certain future." Tenchi sighed "then how do I choose?"
Maki rolled her eyes at him "by looking into you heart, duh, its how you feel not how they feel, I can help you get some time alone with each of them separate so you can figure your feelings out" Tenchi stared at the floor "thanks" Maki just took another cracker and began to eat it, just as the water began to boil.
