A/N: This is a continuation (and a bit of a re-working, so most of the original is included in my writing) of Davner's fan fiction titled, "Indiana Jurai and the Master Key". I thought it was a great fan fiction and so I requested to finish it. However, with the way I write I took a bit of a liberty of re-working the first chapter so it remained true to the spirit of the original fanfiction, but worked with my writing style. I apologize to Davner if this is offensive to him. My writing style is probably radically different but I ask that you read with an open mind. I do not own Tenchi, Indiana Jones or University of California Stanford, they are owned by AIC Pioneer, Lucasfilm ltd. And the state of California respectively.
Ch. 1 Reason for the insanity
"Sasami, where is the- There it is!" Sasami had to adjust the slightly large fedora she was wearing to look at her big sister, who was so panicky she was almost angry. She grabbed the old bullwhip from Sasami, "You shouldn't play with this, it's very old and fragile." "I'm sorry Ayeka, I was just playing with it as I was watching my movie." Despite the fact that Ayeka was recovering from being so panicky she was halfway between bedwetting and a near death experience she had to sigh in defeat. Defeat at the fact that she couldn't stay angry with her little sister, and secondly, because it was THAT movie again. That India James, or whatever his name was, movie that Nobuyuki had rented for the week, with its main character swinging across chasms with a similar bullwhip. Sasami had fallen in love with it, and watched it obsessively. "Well, I'm going to put this back upstairs where it's safe. And please don't do that again, Sasami." Just as Ayeka was about to head upstairs, Ryoko phased in and grabbed the whip, "Well, now. What's this?" "Ryoko, give that back!" Ryoko floated just above reach, "Wow, Princess, I didn't know you were into that." Ayeka blushed at the implications of Ryoko's statement, but said, "It's not like that, its a family heirloom!" "I wonder what Tenchi would think of this?" "Ryoko don't you dare!" Ryoko laughed and flew through the wall.
Tenchi turned from helping Mihoshi, Kiyone and his father repair the storage room to see Ryoko flying in his direction with Ayeka chasing after her. "Ryoko, give it back, it's very fragile!" Ryoko swooped down in front of Tenchi, "Hey Tenchi, look what I found Ayeka with." She held up the bullwhip and Tenchi's eyes widened. Ayeka quickly defended herself, "It's not what you think!" "Well, I think it's used for, I don't know…Husband training?" Mihoshi was positioning the board for Kiyone, who was giving her directions, "No, Mihoshi, you're holding it wrong!" Ayeka looked around, "It's not used for that…anymore." Tenchi's eyes widened further, "What?" "Ancient Jurai was a very different place, but it hasn't been used for centuries. Now it's just an heirloom passed down from mother to daughter. Sasami took it out of our room and was playing with it while watching that India James movie!" "Indiana Jones." "MIHOSHI, It's going to FALL!" "Whatever, some action movie with an overbearing man hero, I swear what is the allure-" "AYEKA, LOOK OUT!" Ayeka turned around in time to be smacked full in the face by a two by four. She hit the ground hard. "Ayeka!" "Lady Ayeka! Mihoshi, this is your fault." 'OHMIGOSH! AYEKA I'M SO SORRY!" None of the panicking really mattered to Ayeka, who was out like a light. This familiar scene of the Misaki household faded out to…
There! First chapter done. Good, Bad? Let me know!
