Disclaimer: The author of this story owns nothing of Tenchi Muyo and its characters.

A/N: Hey everyone thanks for the reviews. Alright, firstly a few people seem to think I am making Ryoko and Ayeka evil and out of character. Well the latter may seem a little true; but think about it. Everyone has their limits when it comes to insults. If someone said something hurtful to me, I would take action; just like what Ayeka and Ryoko did. Plus I needed them out of the way, so Tenchi and Sasami could go on their date. I'm sure Tenchi wouldn't like the reactions of the two girls if they found out. I also wanted to try and write action between the two at their full power. I told you once before that I'm a fair person, if I really disliked a character, I still wouldn't go bash them. Tenchi, Sasami and Kiyone may seem a little OOC, but they will still be the same. Ayeka and Ryoko will also remain normal…or as normal as they can be.

Well anyway, enjoy the chapter.

The Chronicles of the Lighthawk: The Prince and the Goddess

Chapter 3: The date

It was another beautiful morning at the Masaki household. The sun was glowing, the sky was bright and the usual smell of breakfast was in the air.

The young prince of Jurai woke up after having one of the most pleasant dreams he has had for a while. Though he could remember briefly what it was, he knew he had done a lot of moaning on his part, which meant it wasn't something decent. Shaking some of the uh… interesting images out of his mind, he moved onto a sitting position in his large bed. The mornings were now more pleasant, since Ryoko's absence and the house had been more in peace without the constant fights between the two lovesick women who were still recovering in the rejuvenation tanks.

Tenchi yawned loudly, rubbing the sleep away from his eyes. For some reason, Tenchi seemed to forget something, something he must have deemed important. Then it came to him. It was Saturday which meant the date he had promised Sasami was today. He quickly jumped out of bed and quickly rushed to the bathroom passing a bewildered Kiyone on the way. He really wanted today to go smoothly. And the earlier they left, the more time they had with one another. The day was going to be perfect.

He would make sure of that.

Sometime later on, he raced out of the bathroom, down the stairs and to the direction of the dining room. He slowed down a little not wanting to show his peculiar behavior and just how eager he was about the whole date with Sasami. He walked in while greeting everyone as usual. He turned and saw the blue-haired princess walking towards him with a huge smile and larger blush than usual. They greeted one another before walking to the breakfast table and sat down with Sasami occupying the space next to him.

The breakfast was the same with the same usual small talk, the clattering of the utensils and with Mihoshi as usual shoving food down her into her mouth and swallowing making everyone wonder if she even needed to chew. Until Tenchi decided to make his announcement. Clearing his throat and gaining everyone's attention, he spoke.

"Everyone" he began slowly. "Me and Sasami are going out into town today and will be back a little before dinner time okay." As he sat down Mihoshi opened her mouth and began saying her usual crap. "Oh really, are you both going on a date? Oh Sasami you are so lucky. Me and the rest of the girls have been trying to get his attention for some time but it seems Tenchi really likes you. Maybe you can tell the rest of us what you did to actually get Tenchi to lay eyes on you and give you his attention and I could follow your example and maybe next time he would actually ask me to go out with him on a date." As usual, everyone else just sweat dropped at the ditz and Tenchi briefly wondered if she needed to breathe while saying long sentences without taking oxygen.

"MIHOSHI" yelled Kiyone. "Shut up and mind your own business!"

"So Tenchi" Katsuhito began, his face as emotionless as ever. "Does this mean you have finally chosen a girl?"

"No Grandpa, me and Sasami are just going out. Sasami is usually cooped up in the house and she has been working very hard lately so I decided to take her out and show her around!" Tenchi desperately said trying to make an excuse. A brief flash of pain went through Sasami at his words before determination replaced the pain. She was going to have to show him just how much he meant to her.

Katsuhito didn't seem convinced and a gleam of amusement could be seen in his eyes while Washu was giving him, her knowing smile. She known a long time ago which girl Tenchi only had eyes for. It was only a matter of time before Sasami had grown up and Tenchi began seeing her in a new light.

Tenchi waited downstairs for Sasami to finish getting dressed. He had decided to wear white t-shirt with black pants and black vest. He was very eager to leave with Sasami and have some fun with her. He decided he was going to drive into town and show her around the place before going to a small fair he had heard was opening for three days and today was the second. He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard thumping on the stairs and saw Sasami coming downstairs.

She was wearing white tank top with a short pink skirt. "So Tenchi, what do you think?" She asked while she twirled around showing him her outfit. Tenchi started blushing but answered. "It looks great on you" and chuckled when the young princess began blushing herself and smiled. "Come on lets get going."

Unbeknownst to the two, a teal-haired female was watching them very closely

Kiyone wasn't happy. She was currently watching Tenchi in his dressed attire waiting for the young princess.

Nobody knew but Kiyone had somehow developed feelings for Tenchi. She had never had feelings for any men due to her deep commitment in her work. While some of her colleagues had asked her out, she had quickly dismissed them. It wasn't that Kiyone never wanted to fall in love, but she had never felt there was anyone who could make her feel happy or wanted. When her superior had ordered her to go to earth and patrol the solar system with her partner Mihoshi, she thought all her luck had ran out and all her hard work was going to be shattered. Nonetheless she did what she was told and when she arrived the first person she met was Tenchi. She thought he was cute but had dismissed that thought when Mihoshi came running towards her wrapping her in a big hug while crying a river. As she began to get settled in her life on earth, she found out that everything seemed to revolve around the young prince.

She still thought he was cute, but he seemed too boring as all he did was work. As time quickly passed on, Tenchi suddenly seemed to grow more handsome and Kiyone's interest began to re-sparkle. As she got to know him, she discovered not only was he incredibly powerful and handsome, but he was also extremely kind, caring and loyal towards others and will do whatever people ask of him.

The more she saw him, the more strongly her feelings for him had increased. She finally realized what the women of the house had saw in him… because that was exactly what she saw. Tenchi was everything that a girl could ever want in a man. Plus with the new body he had developed made Kiyone drool for him. She had never thought she had a chance with the handsome prince while Ryoko and Ayeka seemed to try anything just to please him. But she never gave up on him and hoped that he would somehow notice her. Those kinds of feelings kept on bugging her every single time her eyes made contact with him. Her heart ached whenever she saw Ryoko groping him, Ayeka holding his arm or when he smiled at Sasami. One day she woke up and realized the truth, for the first time in Kiyone's life.

She had fallen for him…Hard.

Kiyone snapped from her thoughts when she saw Sasami jumping down the stairs. She had to admit what the young princess was wearing really was cute and the princess herself looked stunning. Her heart had dropped when Tenchi had made the announcement at breakfast but rose a little when he explained and hoped that really was the case. But seeing her dress so prettily for Tenchi, her heart had dropped even lower than before.

As the 'couple' had left, her eyes had narrowed enviously at how close the both of them had been standing near each other.

"Hey Kiyone what are you doing?" asked the annoying voice of Mihoshi. Kiyone jumped and rounded on the blonde. Before she said anything though, her watch began beeping and both women rushed out of the house on the way to patrol.

Tenchi and Sasami had arrived and were currently walking around town with Tenchi explaining and showing her around the place. They both dismissed all the looks that were directed at them. Most men were staring at Sasami awed by her presence while the rest of the female population were all staring at Tenchi while directing their evil and dirty glares at the princess next to him.

"Hey Tenchi!" Someone shouted. Tenchi turned around and groaned inwardly. Walking towards them were a few of Tenchi's high school friends. There were two males and three females. "Whoa man you sure have changed, have you been working out? The guy had asked while the other three girls were staring at him in awe. "Hey Tenchi who's the lovely lady" the other guy said turning his attention to the beauty standing next to him. "Uh um this is Sasami." "Is she your girlfriend?" One of the girls suddenly snapped loudly gaining everyone's attention. Sasami narrowed her eyes at the rude outburst from the other girl. "Yes I am and as a matter of fact, we are currently on a date and we have much to do so we are going to leave now good bye!" The princess retorted her tone rising.

"Who was she?" Sasami asked once they turned a corner. "Er well, her name is Yumi, she kind of developed a crush on me during high school and she still often rings me. It is actually quite annoying."

Tenchi had made it to the college in Tokyo but had decided against going, knowing the girls would definitely be upset so after he had graduated he spent more time at home working and decided to get a job later on.

After showing her around, they stopped to have lunch at a fast food restaurant before they left for the fair. There were many people there and the majority all were staring at the couple. Sasami's face had lit up once she saw all the different kinds of activities.

"So Sasami what do you want to do first? Do you want to stay around and play some games or do you want to go on some rides?" Tenchi asked glad to see the princess was happy. "I think the rides can wait. Let's try out the games" She answered brightly.

They walked past many vendors with many different types of fun games. One of them caught Sasami's attention. She walked up to the booth and peered at many of the goldfishes. Tenchi explained the aim was to scoop as many goldfishes as possible and the one's that you scoop you are allowed to keep. The young princess was unsuccessful but Tenchi had scooped six and handed the freshly caught fish to the sad princess.

The next game they played was where you had to get the ring around the bottle. Tenchi was handed five hoops and he of course got a bullseye for all five, much to Sasami's enthusiasm. Sasami's was delighted when Tenchi allowed her to pick a prize. She chose a large stuffed tiger and was hugging the toy very tightly while thanking Tenchi profusely. Tenchi watched the stuffed animal being hugged with jealousy and wished that was him. "I can't believe I'm envious of a stuffed toy" he muttered bitterly. The next game they tried was a shooting game and this time he won her a stuffed Panda. Sasami squealed and began crushing her new toy with a large hug.

Sasami turned to Tenchi and stepped close to him. She tilted her head up and lightly pecked him on the cheek. Tenchi was shocked. "What was that for?" He asked softly. Sasami grinned. "That was for winning me the Panda. This…" and she kissed him again. "Was for the tiger and this…" She kissed him again. "Was for getting me the goldfishes. But this…" This time instead of pecking him on the cheek, she turned his face around and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Is for being such a cute guy!" Tenchi was stunned and looked at her. She grinned in her mischievous manner much to the embarrassment of Tenchi.

They decided to go and try out the rides. The first one they went on was the roller coaster. The young princess gripped Tenchi's hand tightly while the ride seemed to get faster and more exhilarating. The tried out the bumper cars and were very pleased with the results. They tried out the haunted mansion which seemed to freak Sasami out. When a vampire suddenly popped out of a coffin, the blue-haired princess practically screamed and hugged Tenchi really tightly much to the prince's delight. The crowd seemed to thicken and a large amount of people arrived at the fair, so the 'couple' decided to leave.

While walking down the street, the young princess saw a clothes shop and practically dragged Tenchi to the store. "Please Tenchi I promise I won't take long and if you come, I'll model for you." She told him in a sultry voice.

And model for him she did. She tried out many outfits with most of them leaving a large amount of imagination much to the unfortunate or should I say fortunate, Tenchi. After buying a costume which had the most effect and reaction from Tenchi, saying it was for a 'special' occasion, they both left. The young prince suddenly had an idea. Deciding on taking her to a special place, they left all their items in the car and took off on foot.

Once they arrived Sasami gasped. He had taken her to a park, but the place was absolutely wonderful. There were trees outlining the entire area with a few scattered here and there inside. All different kinds of flowers and foliage litter the area, all in specified patches near benches and walkways. The place seemed to attract couples as a few couples could be seen strolling together through the park.

They looked around the place with Sasami admiring the beauty of the place. They smiled as they passed two people who were currently making out and an old man and woman who were holding hands. Sasami stopped and bent down to admire the flowers of different colors. Tenchi couldn't help but notice how well the blue-haired princess blended with the scenery.

She stood up and turned to Tenchi and saw him looking at her already. They locked eyes for a moment; both were silent and didn't seem to notice they were slowly closing the gaps between them. They were very close now. Tenchi gently tilted Sasami's chin upward and peered at her lips, her soft lips, before casting his attention toward her eyes. Those enchantingly pink eyes with swirls of emotion which he tried to decipher and comprehend. He could see desire, need, lust and something else he couldn't figure out but had an inkling of what it was. He drifted closer towards her face, closer towards her lips, closer to accomplishing his desire…

And their lips made contact.

As Tenchi's lips made contact with her delicately soft ones, passion flared up inside both of them, singeing both their nerves, driving them both past breaking point. The princess leaned in closer and more forcefully into the kiss wrapping both her arms around his neck while the prince began holding her waist with one hand and caressing her smooth hair with the other. Tenchi pulled her closer and began rubbing her back. All the young princess could do was relish in the passion and moan with pleasure as Tenchi's lips seemed to caress her own.

After what seemed an eternity, they parted their lips, both their foreheads making contact as both of them began breathing hard from the intimacy they had just shared. The wind whistled past, brushing their hair, whispering into their ears softly, encouraging them.

Tenchi and Sasami had never felt more complete.

When they had arrived home, the girls bombarded Sasami with questions. Sasami tried answering the best she could until Mihoshi asked an 'innocent' question.

"Did you two kiss" she asked interested. They all looked at Sasami expectantly, but said princess would have none of it and left quickly to prepare dinner. The girls looked bewildered while Tenchi just chuckled softly.

At dinner time everyone was looking at both Tenchi and Sasami who had been relatively silent during the whole time. They each wondered what had happened to have impacted them so hard. They weren't quite sure if they kissed as Tenchi never seemed to be a person who showed affection, but there was always a possibility.

After dinner both Tenchi and Sasami decided to retire early. Upstairs once they were out of earshot, they both kissed each other softly and bid the other goodnight before retiring to their rooms.

The blue-haired princess couldn't help but smile once she laid down in her futon. The day had gone even better than she had anticipated. She had never in her life, been any happier. Before she fell victim to sleep, she swore she heard Tsunami's voice cry out…

"YES!"

A/N: Well how did you like it? This was by far my longest chapter yet! Please don't hesitate to send me any ideas to help with future chapters. I'm thinking of creating an OC so Tenchi can fall for another girl, making the story Tenchi/Sasami/OC. I'm letting people vote if you want it to be that pairing or just our normal Tenchi/Sasami pairing. The OC won't be here for a while so you have time to vote. See you next time!
