hello! as you can see im kinda on a roll with crossing blades, so many ideas pop into this little head of mine. trying to keep the characters in well...in character, most of these ideas have been scratched as not a good idea because of that reason. ive still not recieved votes on who tenchi will be with so...yeah its making my job alittle easier.
Motoko poked her head around the corner of the doorway, watching Tenchi as he watched television calmly by himself. It had been two days since the two had sparred against each other, with Tenchi resulting as the winner. Her heart seemed to skip around in her chest as she watched him.
"miss aoyama...you can come into the room".
Motoko watched as Tenchi looked over at her with a smile, she bowed her head and took a seat on the couch next to him. Tenchi studied Motoko for a moment, she was blushing as she looked down to her hands, which rested in her lap.
Finally working up the nerve, Motoko spoke quickly "i..wanted to know if you wanted to go into town!".
Tenchi looked away from the television, he smiled and replied "that would be nice, i havent seen the town surrounding the apartments yet...i would be glad to go with you".
Motoko bowed her head and quickly stood, she then made her way to the doorway.
"meet me by my room at three Tenchi".
Leaving Tenchi to his thoughts, the resident swordswoman moved at a fast pace back to her room. Before reaching her door, Motoko glanced down both sides of the hallway to make sure none of the other girls followed.
Finally accepting that the other girls did not hear the conversation, Motoko closed the sliding door behind herself. Her eyes scanned the room, looking for clothing that would make herself look presentable while also catching the interest of Tenchi.
Some moments later, Naru had decided to check in and see Motoko. She slowly slid open the door, only to find that Motoko's room, which was usually kept spotless, had taken on the appearance of a town after a F-5 tornado. Naru looked around as she stepped into the hazard area, finding Motoko digging through clothing.
"Motoko! what the heck is going on?!".
Motoko looked over her shoulder, "Tenchi is taking me into town! i need the appropiate clothing...". The swordswoman knew that her secret was out, she slowly stood up and brought her head up, her now infuriated eyes catching Naru's.
"you will not speak a word to the other girls! i promised myself to him, just as you did with Urashima!". Motoko narrowed her eyes at Naru, who stared at Motoko in shock. The girl looked like someone tried to take Her sword away from her.
"Motoko, dont worry...i..ill lend you some clothes!". Naru's words seemed to bring Motoko out of her protective state as she brought her hand away from the hilt of her sword, which she was holding the whole time.
Naru poked her head out into the hallway, looking around before leading the still blushing Motoko to her's and Keitaro's room. Making sure Keitaro was still at school by peeking in, Naru got her friend into the room. Naru looked her friend over with a hand on her chin, she circled once before going over to her closet.
"what kind of look are you going for?".
Motoko looked blankly, "look? i have not thought of a look".
Naru sighed for a moment before stating "Motoko, you have to go for a certain look. you want to go traditional with a kimono or ive got a sweater and a skirt you can wear".
Motoko thought for a moment, she glanced at the sweater and skirt and found the skirt to be too short for her taste. The kimono Naru brought out had to be the most beautiful clothing Motoko had ever seen. It's color was a dark rose red and it bore no significant patterns, but its color stood out to the swordswoman.
Motoko touched the kimono, "where did you find this?".
Naru shrugged and said with a wave of the hand "it was a gift...from someone that i do not want to talk about".
The swordswoman smirked and knew who right away who had given Naru the gift, and that person was named Kentaro.
Before Naru had gotten over her resentment for Kentaro, she had found Motoko gone, along with the rose colored kimono.
Motoko slammed the sliding door shut behind herself, she had sprinted from Naru's and Keitaro's room all the way back to hers. Catching her breath, Motoko automatically began stripping out of her usual red and white robes and into the kimono. Tieing the bow in the back, Motoko pulled her hair into a long ponytail. Taking a deep breath, Motoko glanced looked to her clock, which even though was knocked onto the floor, had the time of one thirty two. The waiting game had just begun for her.
Tenchi slowly and cautiously made his way to the top of the stairs, he had seen what happened to Keitaro when he got home from school. He shuddered at the thought of what the girls could do, these girls could probably compete with Ayeka and Ryoko back home.
Tenchi brushed the thought out of his head as he turned the corner, those thoughts were dangerous to him and everyone else on planet earth.
Suddenly Tenchi stopped when he saw Motoko, she looked amazing. Her eyes moved over to him as she turned to face him.
"you look...".
Motoko smiled sweetly and approached him, when she got near, she slid a arm around the dazed Tenchi's and began walking him torwards the entrance of the Hinata apartments. She never did notice the six heads watching the two leave from a window.
"shes movin on in quick". Kitsunes always closed eyes seemed to watch the two like a hawks would.
Naru looked over to her, "im not surprised, he did beat her in a fight". She watched the two also, but not with a jealous look in her eyes.
"AWWWW they look soooo cute!!". Shinobu's eyes lit up as she watched the two make small talk while going down the steps leading into the town below.
Mutsumi for some reason stayed quiet, her usually bubbly personality was now squashed.
"naru...looks like someones got some jealousy brewin'...". Kitsunes whispered words got Naru noticing too.
All the girls looked at Mutsumi and slowly began to leave the room, Naru was the last to leave, her eyes never leaving a very quiet Mutsumi. The young woman crossed her arms and just kept looking out the window.
"hun i aint neva seen ol' mutsumi like that before". Everyone looked at Kitsune and nodded their heads agreeing, the girl must have laid eyes on the young Masaki also.
Far across town, Motoko and Tenchi found themselves walking and enjoying the sights. But every now and then, Motoko would steal glances at Tenchi. She still hand his arm in her hands, but Tenchi long forgot about it.
The two had made no intentions of stopping, but they did when Tenchi pointed out a small restrant with outside seating. Tenchi moved his arm away from her, causing motoko to bite her bottom lip as he moved over to a table with two chairs, he pulled one towards himself and offered it to her.
After Tenchi took his seat, he finally took notice of Motoko, who seemed more reserved than her usual self. She glanced up at him, a blush came to her face as she asked "well, what do you wish to eat Tenchi?".
Tenchi looked down at the menu and said "well...".
/Hours later\
Tenchi and Motoko had still not returned to the Hinata apartments, and most of the girls were starting to worry. Kitsune wore a ever present smile on her face, she knew Motoko was in no danger, Tenchi had proven that earlier.
The girls, plus Keitaro all had gathered around the door, it slowly slid open and the two in questioned stepped through. As soon as they were inside and the door was closed, Tenchi and Motoko were surrounded.
"Where have you two been!! its nine at night!!". Naru shook her fist at Tenchi, showing indeed that she was more than angry.
Tenchi put his hands up right below his chin as his face got a nervous look on it. "we got something to eat and started talking...".
Motoko nodded her head, agreeing with Tenchi. She then grabbed his arm, and hurried him back upstairs towards his room. Both of them stopped in front of the room, Motoko looked at him with a sweet smile before planting a kiss onto his cheek.
"Thank you Tenchi...".
Motoko then took her leave, looking back at a blushing Tenchi who was speechless with a hand on his cheek.
i believe that was the longest chapter, and hopefully it continues.
