It was like any other morning at the Masaki Residence, Washu was fiddling with one of her inventions, mind you this "little" invention was the size of the table and had a Biohazardous sign on it. Tenchi grimaced at the thought of what it could do, and what the little genious had planned for it. Ryoko was pigging out on the delicious food Sasami had made, her face was in the dish and she was eating plate after plate. Ayeka was sitting in front of Ryoko with a disgusted look on her face. "She so disgusting." Ayeka thought as she took another sip of her tea, "Not worthy of Tenchi" she thought again taking another sip of tea. Nobuyuki had gone off to some business thing in the States and wouldn’t be back anytime soon, "Something with his business, but probably chasing another woman around." Tenchi thought with a chuckle. Grandpa was working at the shrine, as usual. "Now another "normal" dinner", he thought, "Ayeka and Ryoko should start fighting any minute." Tenchi sat down quiet as usual, didn't utter a word except good morning to them all. Ryoko then looked over from her plate and put on a sly grin.

"Ooooooooo, Tenchi your so cute come here and give me a big kiss, come on you know you want too!! Ryoko said.

As she said this she started walking toward Tenchi on all fours, with a sexy purr in her voice. She then grabbed him in a tight hold and hugged him, this was cutting off Tenchi's air and he started turning blue. Ayeka looked towards them and looked like she was going to scream, and well she did!!

"GET AWAY FROM HIM YOU LITTLE HUSSY I WON'T TOLERATE THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR TOWARD MY TENCHI!" screamed Ayeka, "LET HIM GO NOW, OR I WILL BE FORCED TOO HURT YOU RYOKO!! Ayeka screamed again.

"Tenchi's mine and you know it!! Ryoko hissed, than sticking her tongue out at Ayeka.

"NO HE'S NOT!!" Ayeka screamed again.

"Ryoko can you let go of me, your choking me I can't breathe." Tenchi said.

"Sure, anything for you my Tenchi." Ryoko said.

He got up as Sasami walked into the room. That's when Ryoko got right up in Ayeka's face.

"Oo no, not this again, they might level the house again." Tenchi said. "I know, I hate when they get like this." Sasami said pouting.

Logs started to form around Ayeka as sparks started to fly from Ryoko's hands. This is when Tenchi knew he had to get in the way before they really hurt someone.

"Ok, let's take this outside ladies." Tenchi said, pushing the two warring girls out the door. "Listen try not to destroy the house this time." Tenchi said. "How could you call this brute a lady?" Ayeka said to Tenchi, but really for Ryoko to hear. "OH YEAH, I'LL SHOW YOU BRUTE YOU SPOILED LITTLE BRAT!!" Ryoko screamed. ."HOW DARE YOU, YOU LITTLE, LITTLE....." Ayeka said as Tenchi walked into the house not hearing the rest of the sentence. Tenchi just shook his head as he walked inside. As he walks in there is an explosion outside that shook the house.

Tenchi grimaced as he heard a scream from Ryoko and then a thud. Tenchi quickly turned and rushed outside. When he got outside he saw Ryoko slumped on the floor, Ayeka still where she was when she made the attack. She had a shocked face on, she couldn’t believe what she just did.

"Lord Tenchi will never pick me now, it’s all over, it was destined to be this way I guess, if only, if….." Ayeka thought.

Tenchi started over to Ryoko with lightning speed as to get to her as fast he could. He lifted her slightly, "Sasami, go get water!!" Tenchi shouted. "Ok" Sasami said, Sasami ran in the house and quickly got the water and he made Ryoko drink some down, he sprinkled a little on her face to wake her up.

Ryoko slowly opened her eyes, it was slightly painful but to see her one true love sitting beside her, holding her, she gained the strength to do so.

"Tenchi." she whispered. "Ryoko." Tenchi whispered back, as he said this he slowly lifted Ryoko up off the ground. When he got her up he looked into her eyes and said, "Ryoko, I lo--, that’s when he noticed she was sound asleep. He smiled deeply as he held her closely, he found his one true love, "Ryoko, I love you." Tenchi whispered. As he brought her inside he failed to notice Ayeka walking towards her ship with only a slight tear in her eye, "I will always love you, Tenchi….." she whispered as the beam brought her slowly up, away from those she loved she would finally reclaim her Jurian throne as she lost the battle that was obviously doomed from the day they met……..

Tenchi then lied Ryoko on his bed and walked out of the room, slowly closing the door so not to wake her. He finally found his one true love, he thought as he walked down the stairs, finally, he thought with a warm smile on his face.

"Tenchiiiiii" Ryoko purred in her sleep, with a warm smile on her face, just like Tenchi’s, as she well into a deeper sleep.
