Another chapter, but first I must say that I will be doing something different for scene changes. katanamaru pointed out that it was close to a sound effect, and looking back on it now, I have to agree. I will do something that will not be associated with sound, and if it is, it will sound so horrible that people will disregard it as a sound altogether. And as for funaho's eye color, I was going on the wikipedia site for extra information on the characters. That site also said funaho's eye color was green, and since I'm not one to check different sources for some odd reason, I went with green!. I'm sorry, it was a small mistake!. I've also kind of placed this story in between the second and third ova, so the new things (i.e. new characters) haven't happened yet. Alas, I have not seen the new ova, so I don't know much about it….it sucks I know, but you can throw me some spoilers or something. As for the ryoko situation….well I would have kind of a hard time getting her to stay in character. Not to say she won't be in this fic at all, I'm waiting until I can attempt to keep her in character.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ will be appropriate for a scene change, don't you agree?. Now on with the show!.
I've also decided to revamp this chapter, get rid of the typo's that slipped through my hands.
Tenchi let out a sigh, his grandfather decided to work him hard after showing up late to sword practice. But thankfully his great grandmother was there, so he didn't go as far as usual with his punishment.
Tenchi winced as his grandfather bokken came down onto his head with a loud crack.
"tenchi! Stop daydreaming!".
Swinging his own wooden sword at his grandfather in slight anger, he watched as the older man dodged his attack gracefully before cracking him in the same spot on the head again, causing a bump to form on the top of his head. watching as his grandfather was about to say something. He was stopped by Funaho, who stood by watching the two intently.
"come now yosho…I think he's been punished enough".
Yosho looked at her and said in annoyance "but mother…".
Funaho's soft eyes turned very stern in a split second, causing her only son to shrink down under her gaze. Her son bowed to her before looking back to Tenchi, who was also a little frightened by the look Funaho gave his grandfather.
"tenchi, training will start a hour earlier tomorrow".
Groaning, tenchi then replied "yes grandpa…..".
Yosho proceeded back into the shrine, glancing back at the two as he slid the door closed behind himself. Tenchi's brown eyes went from the shrine doors to his great grandmother, who stood by, watching him patiently and with a smile. Rubbing the growing bump on the top of his head, Tenchi made his way over to funaho, who had covered her mouth to stifle a giggle.

The two started to make the long trek back to the over crowded Masaki house, stopping every few seconds to enjoy the fall's beauty.
Funaho glanced over to Tenchi while asking "would you like to leave for Jurai tomorrow?".
Tenchi stopped and looked at her, he knew she was being serious. The young Masaki scratched the back of his head as he began to think hard about it.
"well I….I don't know…".
A giggle came from her as she turned to fully face him, a small smile on her face as she said "of course, yosho wouldn't come…".
Tenchi laughed at the thought of skipping training, he knew his grandfather would not be the least bit happy with him.
Tenchi looked over to her and said "….I guess it couldn't hurt".
Funaho nodded her head slightly as she began to walk back down the steps, her great grandson in tow behind her. Reaching the bottom of the steps, The two looked to the Masaki residence.
Putting a hand on her Great grandson's shoulder, Funaho then said "it won't be forever Tenchi...".
Tenchi nodded his head and walked next to her as they walked along the side of the house, he then asked finally "...whats jurai like?".
The queen stopped and turned to him, a smile on her face.
"well Tenchi...its something you have to see for yourself".
A giggle came from her as she walked inside the house, leaving a clueless Tenchi who thought about her answer.
"figures...".

A short time later, Tenchi came into the Masaki house. Sasami had just served lunch, with the help from her mother Misaki.
After removing his shoes, Tenchi turned the corner into the living room, and sat at his spot. Looking around the table, Tenchi noticed that Ryoko had disappeared, a slight sigh came from his mouth as she reappeared with arms wrapped around him. His eyes looked to Ayeka, knowing well that a fight was brewing.
Slamming her fist on the table, Ayeka's rose colored eyes watched coldly as Ryoko smiled at the princess.
"Ryoko! Get off of lord tenchi this instant!".
"come over here and make me princess".
A stare down between Ayeka and Ryoko had just begun at that moment. But before anything else could happen, Funaho stepped in and diffused the situation.
"stop it you two….".
The two girls looked over at Funaho, who was looking at them with a glare even Ryoko would fear. They sat back down in their spots at the table, and to make sure nothing else would happen, Funaho sat next to Tenchi at the table. With her eyes on both of them at all times, Ayeka and Ryoko decided it was best not to fight until after she had left the room…or the planet.
The day wore into the evening, and one by one the girls began to leave for bed. Tenchi looked to Funaho, who was the last to go to her room.
her eyes looking over at him as she said softly "good night Tenchi….remember tomarrow…".
He nodded his head, watching as she went toward her own room. Standing up afew minutes later, Tenchi decided it was his time to go to bed as well, going up the stairs to his room. Opening the door to his room, Tenchi went inside and closed it behind himself. He then sat at his desk and thought about tomorrow, and how he was going to explain to the girls about the trip.
"I hope I know what im getting myself into...".
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Funaho entered her room as Tenchi went into his, her eyes looked over to Misaki who had been waiting up for her sister. The two older women smiled at each other, knowing well what was going to happen tomorrow. The second queen could not stand the excitement any longer as she rushed to Funaho and hugged her.
"I can't wait sister, I'm sure he will love Jurai".
The first queen hugged her back before saying "I know he will...but Asuza may find it...".
Misaki let out a giggle as she replied "he won't complain, he's a pushover if we both go against him".
The two let go of each other and began to laugh as they thought of the king's reaction to bringing Tenchi to Jurai. Funaho went and turned the light off before laying down on her bed, a giggle came from Misaki and herself as they thought more about what tomorrow would bring.
Thanks for the constructive criticism, it has helped me a lot. I may go back to the earlier chapters and redo them, hopefully make them better than what they are now
