Hello again, I've decided to continue this fic after thinking long and hard about it. The vote of confidence has been nice, and I thank both Gadoury and katanamaru for the support. I promised a longer chapter, and hopefully I deliver on it. lol so here it goes

Funaho was the first to wake in the early hours of the morning, her arms still wrapped around Tenchi who was sleeping peacefully. She maneuvered slowly, laying the young man softly down onto the couch before stretching her sore and tired muscles.

Sasami's voice rung out quietly "auntie funaho? why are you up so early".

The first queen looked up to see her youngest niece, who had woken some seconds ago to make breakfast for the rest of the Masaki family. She watched as the young girl came down the stairs, with a still sleepy ryo-oki on her shoulder. Sasami's pink eyes looked at the sleeping tenchi, who had rolled over onto his back.

Funaho brought her hands down and pulled the covers up over his shoulders before saying "he fell asleep next to me the night before….".

Sasami giggled with a nod of her head as she made her way into the kitchen, only to glance back at Funaho who's eyes were still on Tenchi. The young girl looked to ryo-oki as she walked to the kitchen counter to prepare breakfast.

Sasami patted the brown cabbit on the head before saying "Auntie funaho must like tenchi a whole lot! The only other person she looks at like that is brother yosho". Ryo-oki returned with a meow as she rubbed her head into Sasami's cheek.

Funaho looked down at Tenchi as he began to wake, looking up at his Great grandmother with groggy eyes.

Funaho smiled and asked "sleep well tenchi?".

Tenchi nodded his head and began to stretch, looking outside he finally realized that he was suppose to have started training with his grandfather some time ago. His eyes went wide as he thought about what his grandpa would do to him for being tardy. Hearing a giggle, he looked back to his great grandmother. She had a hand over her mouth, trying to stifle her laughter.

"come Tenchi, if I walk with you, you'll have a reason for being late. Now go on and change your clothes".

He sighed in relief as he got off the couch, before making his way to the stairs. Looking back at Funaho, who then said sweetly "make sure to clean up too…your hair is a mess".

"ok, ill be right back". Tenchi went up the stairs and finally to his room.

Funaho sat back down on the couch and waited for him, glancing over to the stairs once in a while to make sure he hadn't come back down yet. Her green eyes caught him as he came down from the bathroom.

She stood and watched him come over to her side, The queen then asked with a smile "are you ready to go tenchi?".

He returned a smile to her, showing that he was indeed ready. The two then went the main entrance of the house and slipped on their shoes. Closing the door behind them, Tenchi started to make his way to the shrine steps, his great grandmother walking calmly next to him. The leaves had started to change color, signaling that fall was fast approaching.

Looking over at Tenchi, Funaho then said "do you like the fall tenchi?".

He nodded his head and answered "i do...the different colors make the land look alive".

Funaho's green eyes looked up to the tree's, she then added "fall is one of the things i miss from living on earth...the little things you don't take notice in are what i miss the most...".

The two had reached the bottom stairs to the shrine afew moments later, Funaho herself had always enjoyed walking in the early morning, it cleared her head. Tenchi liked walking with her as well, she was not clinging to him like some of the girls did.

Glancing over to him as they reached a landing, Funaho finally asked "Tenchi…I would like to ask a question, would you consider coming to jurai…for a visit a least?".

Tenchi stopped walking, he knew she would of asked him sooner or later. Turning back to her, he stopped his first answer when he saw the look on her face.

Funaho smile had become sad in a way, she then said quietly "Tenchi…I would understand if you don't want to come to jurai. It's just….with ayeka and sasami gone, it has become lonely…and yosho does not wish to return either…..I would like you to come and see if you like it there...".

The young man in front of her understood, he knew how she felt. She had no one, grandpa was here on earth and The king of Jurai was most likely busy with political affairs. He was the same in a way, sure he had alot of girls around, but no motherly figure.

"I think I could….I mean ill go for a few days….".

Her green eyes lit up as she heard his answer, but she then looked down when her thoughts turned to a certain ex-space pirate named Ryoko.

"Tenchi….you know that Ryoko won't be able to go...It's not that i don't want her to come...but what she did, the wounds have not completely healed from that incident...I'm very sorry...".

"I…I know, but it will only be for a few days…..It won't be that bad right!"

Funaho nodded her head as she and Tenchi walked the rest of the way up the shrine steps, enjoying the calm of the fall morning.

I hope this chapter does well, I went over it three times before deciding on this path. Sorry to the Ryoko fans but she may not be in this story that much. Its just that I'm trying to go with facts. If you blow up half a planet, the people on that planet will most likely disagree with you being there. I don't hate Ryoko either, I think she's a fantastic character. also, Tenchi may or may not be paired with a girl at the end of this fic. It really depends on how the story goes.
