I DO NOT claim any of the Tenchi muyo characters as my own , they are the property of Genon (formaly pioneer)
I apologise now for any typos i may have, but due to how quickly i want this up and i dont have spell check on my note pad, so im sorry.
It was early the next morning and the birds were singing their usual morning tune, and the sun shone brightly over the mountain tops and the light cascaded down the mountains and engulfed the land of okinawa, a new day had begun, well for most. Under a large rumpelled up blanket ,in one of the rooms of the Masaki home, stirred a tired space pirate, Ryoko slowly emerged from the blanket. Her room was filled with sake bottles, empty junk-food wrappers and for some reason clothes scattered all about and a lamp was broken, the only thing that remained in tact was the picture nestled nicly under Ryoko's pillow.
Ryoko's eyes slowly opened to see... pitch black?. (Ofcourse she wasn't hung over because ofcourse its Ryoko!)
"OMG its happened... i've gone blind from drinking!" She paniced and sat up quickly "IM BLIND" she shouted in a hesitant and gasping tone her hands flailing wildly. Washu, hearing this, casualy stolled passed Ryoko's room finding amusment in her daughters distress.
"you can't go blind from drinking sake, idiot, try undressing properly next time" She cackled as she strolled on by reading a morning paper,eager to learn more about the Earth and its inhabitants, Washu headed to the kitchen where Sasami had prepared her usual morning breakfast and tea. Sasami was also waiting eaglerly for Tenchi's arrival, to give him a lunch she had prepared especialy for him.
"Huh?" just after Washu mentioned it Ryoko felt the fabric of her clothes on her face, and lifted it up her eyes coming into focus slightly. She felt rather stupid after she realised all the comotion she made was for nothing.
"o heh, erm ...thanks" She went red with embarrassment and threw hear head on her pillow staring up at the ceiling trying to remember what went on yesterday and what today was.
"o... right he's coming home today" She said quietly in an excited tone as she lay there suddenly remembering after her first initial shock of thinking she was blind. She sat up and looked round her room. She was in utter shock when she saw the complete disorray of her room, she sighed happily(even with the state of her room) and phased into some clean clothes.
"damn it looks like a bomb has struck this place, i must have got hammered" She sniggered placing her hand over her mouth having slight flash backs of : sake,kareoke,sake,laughing and more sake. Then her happy memories where cut short...
"yes indeed" hissed a voice from out in the hall. As Ayeka poked her head round the door in utter disgust at how Ryoko let her room get into such a state. Also a little grumpy from her lack of sleep, she felt compelled to take it out on Ryoko.
"Ayeka you still sore over the fact i know your true feelings about me?...yeah i remember" She winked and giggled lightly knowing how this would anger the princess.
"WHY YOU!-" she stopped as she heard the familiar sound of Tenchi's father's car pulling up.
"he's here" She whispered as she wandered off down the hall ,as light and tender footed as you'd expect from a princess, to be the first to greet Tenchi home.
"O Crap! its time already, i'd better--" She stepped out of her bed only to fall on a sake bottle with an all mighty thud(again?) and she grumbled rubbing the back of her head her face embedded in the carpet " wph muph" (translation "why me") She lay on the floor twitching lightly.
Meanwhile down stairs
"L...Lord Tenchi welcome home!" Bowed Ayeka as Tenchi walked through the door.
"yeah welcome home Tenchi, i made breakfast for you, i knew you'd be home early" Said Sasami smiling brightly as always.
"wow geee thanks Sasami, and good morning Miss Ayeka" He said happily
"wh...wheres Ryoko?" he asked
"well sh--" Sasami was cut off by an insistant Ayeka.
"She was up Drinking late as usual, and doesn't have the courtesy to welcome you home, but what can you expect from an ill mannered Demon!" Cackled Ayeka lifting her hand to her mouth.
Tenchi walked up to Ayeka and said "i'd better see if she' okay"
"Why don't you come and have breakfast with me?" said Ayeka grabbing Tenchi's arm lightly and looking up at him trying to win him over with her princess charms. But Tenchi was to eager to see Ryoko to even look at Ayeka.
"i will as soon as i've seen that she's okay" He walked off up the stairs eagerly to greet her.
'well i guess thats just Lord Tenchi's manners' thought Ayeka as she walked into the kitchen and was greeted with a nice cup of tea from her little sister.
Tenchi reached the top of the stairs and walked to Ryoko's door,he clenched his fist lightly and raised it to Ryoko's door and just as he was about to knock the door Ryoko fazed through it at that same instance, their faces coming just centimeters apart . Ryoko and Tenchi both blushed as their eyes met Ryoko tried to hold the gaze for that instant. She could feel Tenchi's warm breath and could see into his eyes like they were windows to his soul. His soul was alight with passion and his eyes flared. Ryoko lowered her head and blushed lightly, it was as though she was intimidated and had to break the gaze "erm...sorr-" she was cut off, Tenchi pushed his hand up against the door and leant in close to Ryoko, she lifted her head her eyes wide with shock 'This isn't like him' she thought as she gazed into his eyes trying to read what he was thinking. He knew this was what he had to do, and he was sure this was what he wanted, this gave him the courage to advance on Ryoko. He knew he wanted only her.
Ryoko's first thought was how assertive and confident this is for Tenchi, not like his usual babbling, nervous self, he was assertive and forceful in a way unrecognised to Ryoko.
He closed his eyes and drew his lips closer, his heart racing. Ryoko's heart was also racing she leant in close and placed her hand lightly on his chest drawing her lips closer, they were ready to release all the pent up passion in one kiss until...
'cough cough' "sorry am i interupting anything?" said a pint sized scientist as she closed her eyes and looked away giggling lightly.
Tenchi ,not knowing Washu knew about the date, jumped back quickly and laughed nervously rubbing the back of his head.
"i...its nothing really, i erm ... its just i...was about to open the door and...-"
"never mind, i didn't see anything" Coughed Washu as she walked between them and turned to Ryoko who was frozen in position and blushing furiously. She coudln't stop her eyes shifting as her mother stood before her.
"You, checkup, Now!" Said washu to Ryoko pointing toward her lab.
"a...bl...la.." Ryoko couldn't talk she just babbled and mummbled until.
"OUCH, what the hell do you think your doing!... no!" Shouted Ryoko i protest as Washu dragged her by the ear towards the lab.
"No save me someone!...Tenchi!" pleaded Ryoko clinging to the doorway of Washu's lab. Tenchi stood there with a sweat drop on his head and giggled lightly "i guess i'll see you later" he whispered.
Then the small scientist pealed her daughter's hands off the doorway, with great difficulty, and they both dissapeared into the depth of Washu's lab. All he could hear were faint screams and some kind of electronic equipment on the move.
He headed back downstairs and wandered into the kitchen to enjoy a nice breakfast.
"Sasami it smells great"
"thank you Tenchi i hope you like it"
Meanwhile at Washu's lab
"WHY, why did you do it Washu" screamed Ryoko as she struggled to get free from Washu's machine.
"why did i do what? and call me Mom" Said Washu giggling lightly as she tapped on the keys of her computer.
"YOU KNOW FOR DAMN WELL WHAT!...MOM" growled Ryoko as she stuggled more and more.
"well i couldn't let my little girl get everything so easy, somtimes it just better if you wait" said Washu wagging her finger,
"O you are such a..." Ryoko huffed and turned her head away.
"right" said Washu snapping a rubber glove onto each hand.
"w...whats with the gloves?" laughed Ryoko nervously
"O you'll see" said Washu with a sinister glint in her eyes.
"NO... NO YOU CAN'T!" protested Ryoko stuggling vigerously to get free from the tenticles.
Later that day
CRASH
Ryoko stormed out of Washu's lab and into the kitchen.
"you little brat get back here! im not done" shouted Washu as she peared from behind the door.
"well i am" said Ryoko as she flew up to her usual spot on the rafters, she huffed and thought about how Washu had ruined her moment with Tenchi. She blushed as she thought about that moment and she closed her eyes.
"I'm sorry about all the tests and ruining your... momentgiggle"
"Get out of my head!"
"Listen its just i had to take some samples because i have to test something"
"And just whats so important?"
"its just that ... nothing"
"What! what is it?"
"Just give me time, i'll tell you when i know more"
"no tell me now! i have the right to know"
"Just wait a little while longer"
And with that the link was severed by Washu who wished not to discuss it any further until she had more information and was sure about what was happening, so she wouldn't hve to cause unnessisary panic.
"i'm sorry Ryoko i have to be sure" whispered the scientist to herself with concern mixed in with her quivering voice.
"She's hiding somthing" said Ryoko irritably as she sat up and hugged one knee close to her body, he eyes fixed on the gem on her left wrist.
"Maybe its to do with this thing?" she contemplated before taking of toward her room.
Meanwhile Upstairs
Ayeka saw this as the perfect moment, while Ryoko was busy, to get a closer inspection of the picture. So she advanced slowly towards Ryoko's room moving her feet as lightly as a feather, not a sound was made. She stood with her back to the wall sliding lighty across it fearing Ryoko could be anywhere at this moment in time. She peeped around the corner and look around the former space pirates room, no one was there. She gingerly put one foot through the thresh-hold of the door and placed it firmly on the floor. She figured she was okay after making the initial step, but oh how she was wrong, she closed the door as she walked in ,so if anyone walked by they wouldn't see her inside, and began scanning the room for a hint of the picture.
'Figures she wouldn't leave it lying around again' thought the Princess as she advanced further into the room. She looked through a couple of draws and came across a few things she would rather soon forget. She shuddered and closed the draw and suddenly it came to her
'Of course if the person was so important she would keep it under her pillow' grinned the princess as she reached under Ryoko's pillow but...
Suddenly she heard a displacement of air and saw Ryoko's figure appearing right infront of her, Ayeka at this point saw no escape ,because she was so close to Ryoko she wouldn't make it out in time, so she dropped to the floor as quickly as she could and crawled under Ryoko's bed, hoping that, even with Ryoko's specialised senses, she wouldn't have heard her. Luckily for Ayeka , Ryoko's mind was elsewhere. Ryoko lay on her bed on grabbed the photo from under her pillow and stared at it and even in Ryoko's vexed state the picture soothed her almost immediatly. She smiled and sighed lightly...
"isn't it amazing how one little picture could calm me, Ryoko, so easily" she laughed
Ayeka was at this point listening intently while trying to take her mind off all the dust a rubbish hidden away under Ryoko's bed. She thought to herself that Ryoko might mention the name of this person while she was hidden under her bed.
Ryoko smirked mischeviously and thought of a little way to tease the princess. She put her picture away safely and began talking loudly so Ayeka would definatly overhear.
"OHHH Ayeka how i wish you only knew how i felt about you" Ryoko tried so hrd to fight off her laughter, and turned it into and sinister grin.
Ayeka in the mean time heard this (obviously) and gasped almost choking on the dust she breathed in, but bcaue she didn't know Ryoko knew she was there she fought hard to stay quiet and managed to stop herself from coughing.
'What in the world' Ayeka thought to herself 'This is obsurred' Her thought were cut short when Ryoko began to speak again.
"O how i long to tell you the only reason i fight over Tenchi with you is because when i see you with im i'm jealous of him" Ryoko now almost bursting with laughter had to sit down before she fainted.
Although this had quite a different affect on Ayeka, she found it anything but amusing, she was confused and rather disturbed at the thought of a relationship like that, she shuddered as mental images flashed through her mind and she covered her ears because she didn't want to hear anymore!.
Ryoko heard Ayeka shudder and thought it was time to tell Ayeka she knew she was there. Plus she just couldn't hold in the laughter anymore.
She stuck her head down beside her bed and lifted the cover slightly and grinned uncontrolably
"why hello there princess" she smirked
"you knew?" said a confused Ayeka as she crawled from under the bed.
"Only from the moment i fazed into my room, you must be stupid to think you can hide from me" gloated the former space pirate now sitting on the edge of her bed with her legs crossed letting out an insane amount of laughter. Ayeka had now crawled from under Ryoko's bed and was dusting herself off, to try and mke a point to Ryoko to clean.
"So all you said? it wasn't anything?" Said Ayeka with a sigh of relief
"o yeah right, in your dreams little princess, you lack about 5000 years experience" gloated Ryoko.
"being over 5000 isn't something to boast about you battered old mummy" Ayeka was infurated with the previous comment Ryoko made, about her lack of experience, and was about to retaliate when Ryoko got the first word in.
"so now you've turned to hiding in my bed, well you must really be desperate for my affections. am i right?"she laughed loudly as she could see the vexxed expression on her opponents face, but Ryoko didn' know the real reason for why Ayeka was in her room, and this she would ponder over later, but for now she decided to have some fun. Ayeka turned to storm out her face red with fury, and embarrassment as she thought about the joke Ryoko had played on her and she turned to storm out, when Ryoko grabbed her arm suddenly.
"come on don't take it too seriously" She said in a soft voice.
this confused Ayeka, why would Ryoko try to ease Ayeka's anger, little did she know that yoko was trying to be nice to Ayeka for one day she was going to have to confess that she and Tenchi were going to be together, Ryoko thought of Ayeka as a friend and didn't want her to be hurt, and she wanted her to know that she could be there for her in the end.
The look in Ryoko's eyes made Ayeka realise she was serious and she just nodded her head and left the room slowly, without turning back.
Later that night
It was round about midnight and Ryoko was just getting ready to settle into bed with a warm botle of sake to help her sleep. She hadn't spoken to Tenchi muchthat day, as he was of working in the feilds and didn't come home until late as he had to train with his grandfather, she was surprisingly calm at this stage and decided to let Tenchi come to her. She sat in her bed thinking about why Ayeka could have possibly been in her room ,the thought never occurred about the picture because she thought Ayeka knew nothing of it. She was about to think more deeply when she heard a light knock at the door.
"I bet it's that damn Washu" she whispered to herself as she got up slowly, resting her sake bottle at the side of her bed, and walked slowly toward the door.
She opened it slowly and gasped, for it wasn't Washu at the door, but there stood Tenchi with his delicate eyes gazing toward Ryoko's eyes and down to her lips, he leaned toward her slightly and brought his hand up to caress her cheek gently, he never said word as he ran his fingers through her hair and kissed her lightly on the cheek. yoko stood there completely in Awe and blushed lightly as her dreams began to unfold and her wished came true, it was really happening, She and Tenchi were in love.
