Chapter: An End to Love, A Beginning to College

With a 'click' the suitcase closed and Tenchi sat on the bed beside it, reflecting on the past six months, focusing on the first one. The mysterious girl, who went by the name of Maki, had left just as suddenly as she had shown up, leaving behind a world turned upside down. She had understood him, and helped him sort certain things out, she had become close friends with him and several of the other members of the household, some he did not expect. She had fixed things, but when she left everything fell apart.

Ryoko and Aeka still fought over certain things, but in a more sisterly way, Aeka had excepted Tenchi's feelings after a talk with Maki and when the feelings between Tenchi and Ryoko began to fade she helped Ryoko out.

But Maki didn't just vanish into thin air, she had a PO box and wrote to them every once in a while, as they did to her. Her box had changed twice since she first wrote but she never lost touch, she even sometimes called from a phone booth or a cello phone is she was able to borrow one.

As that thought entered his mind he stared at the phone, willing it to ring, he needed someone to talk to. After a few minutes he gave up and went to get changed, he was leaving for college tomorrow. A decision that devastated the girls in the house, and one that received no response from Maki, when he had first talked to her about Tenchi expected her opinion and questions but she left him hanging.

'RING' Tenchi jumped at the sound of the phone, and rushed over to pick it up "Moshi Moshi!"

"HEY TENCHI!" He did not recognize her voice, since it had been two weeks since he had heard from her and many more before that. "Hey Chi? You there?"

The nickname clued him in "Maki? Hi!" 'How does she do that?' She always seemed to call when he really needed her. He chucked at the nickname though, it had started when she had begun writing letters, she made all sorts of shortcuts, but now she called him that all the time.

"So you're going off to college tomorrow, aren't you? In Tokyo right?"

"Yeah."

"Where are you staying while you're there? Got an apartment?"

"No, not yet, but for a while I'll be living in a hotel. It has a few permanent tenants and is kind of pricy but the rooms are more like apartments. Once I get a job I'll find a place and pay the rent, for now my Dad is." Tenchi sighed, he hated borrowing money.

"Sounds fun, kind of like what I'm doing. So what Hotel are you staying at?"

"Tokoro no Yume, Place of Dreams." Tenchi waited for her to say something but received not even a breath "You there?"

"Yeah, yeah, so are you excited?" She asked half heartedly.

"I guess, it's going to be hard being away from the girls, and last time I lived away from home they followed me, it was a disaster." He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment as he reminisced.

There was a knock and Ryoko stepped into the room "I came to say good night."

"Hey is that Ryoko? Put her on!" Tenchi got a confused look and handed the phone to Ryoko.

"Hello?" She asked confusedly.

"Hey Ryoko it's Maki, just wondering how things are going for you?"

"Fine, why are you asking me this?"

"Because."

"Hmf."

"Good bye Ryoko." Maki smiled.

"Bye."

"Alright well I have to get up early Maki so bye."

"Bye Tenchi."

Within seconds the dial tone echoed in his ear and Tenchi did as he intended to do, slept.

Noon the next day

A woman with long teal hair, up in a high pony tail, with bangs that made a small heart shape in the middle. Her golden eyes didn't seem to fit her as she looked down at the mail in her hands. She wore a black skirt and a dark blue floral 3/4 sleeve shirt that hung off the elbows. Her high heeled black shoes clicked at the stepped into the small lobby.

The slightly older boy at the desk smiled at her "Morning Min, you still have your sunglasses on."

Her eyes appeared to be an odd green behind her blue sunglasses as she looked at the man, she shrugged "I'll take them off when I get to my room, any messages?"

The door came shut with a dingle from a bell above it, and another boy walked up beside her, he turned to her and smile "you stay here?"

Tenchi looked at the girl and watched as her eyes went wide, then she seemed gain control of her self and held out a hand "practically live here, names Min Koto, yours?"

"Tenchi Masaki."

"No messages Min." she nodded and began to walk off, Tenchi got his rooms key and went up the same stairs.

As he walked down the hall he noticed the woman go into a room 2 doors down on the opposite side of the hall way, the corner room. Looking down he noticed a white envelope on the ground, picking it up he noticed the address, it was a PO box number and it seemed familiar, passing off the thought he made a mental note to give the letter back to Min.
