I don't own these characters or profit from them Ryo-oki killed everyone By, Clayton Overstreet Ryoko tapped her fingers on the edge of the chair and stared at Aeka. "You know, as I sit here I can't help but comment. If you hadn't taken my gem, we wouldn't be in this mess." Aeka frowned. "Look, I apologized! How was I supposed to know that the only thing that gave Ryo-oki a consience was you? I thought you were using the gem to control Tenchi." Tenchi sighed. "Aeka, Ryoko has a point. I told you that I loved her and you cut her hand off in her sleep." Aeka frowned. "It's not like it wouldn't grow back. Besides, this is your fault. If you had just married me..." Ryoko frowned. "If he had married you it wouldn't matter anyway. As I recall a major part of the ceremony says 'Until death do we part.' I tell you, after this I am finding a different ceremony for when we get married." Tenchi sighed and looked around. They had been here for three days. He had told Ryoko that he loved her and then announced it to the others. That night Aeka had snuck into his room, taken the master key, and used it to cut off Ryoko's hand. At that point Ryoko was no longer linked to Ryo-oki and the cabbit had immediately blown up the planet, then started rampaging across the galaxy. Apparently it had been the link with Ryoko that stopped Kagato's programing and made her nice. Nobody blamed her for it. After all you can't do evil if you don't have the option of doing good. Ryoko assured them that once she got her gems back Ryo-oki would be back to normal. Now normally Sasami and Tsunami would have resurected them by now. But apparently it took a lot of work to bring back thirteen destroid planets and make sure that nobody knew what happened. So Tenchi and the others had been informed that since they were the direct cause, they would have to wait until last. So they had been lead to the waiting room where they had been this entire time. It wasn't too bad. There was a television, so Noboyuki and Tenchi had something to do. Yosho was just enjoying knowing that his years as a priest were well spent. Ryoko and Aeka had been fighting so they were busy. Except of course for the two hours Ryoko had broken out and snuck into Asguard, the Viking afterlife. Washu had spent the last three days playing with a Rubix cube. Finally she gave out a defeated sigh and threw it across the room. "That's it, I give up!" Mihoshi picked it up and began playing with it. Five minutes later she had almost slid the last piece into place when Washu put her energy sword against Mihoshi's neck. "If you solve that I swear I'll tear your head off." Unfortunately when Ryoko had run off that left Aeka alone with Tenchi. She had spent the entire two hours asking how he could choose Ryoko over her and telling him that Royal blood should have been all that mattered. Then she had broken down crying when Tenchi had explained that he saw her like a sister and stll cared for her. Now they were all bored and milling around. Ryoko and Aeka refused to talk to eachother even to fight except for Ryoko occasionaly blaming Aeka for the whole thing. Tenchi looked over at Ryoko. "Will you please just forgive her already? She apologized and it was an accident." Ryoko looked at him for a minute, then sighed. "Fine, I forgive her." She disappeared and reappeared on his lap smiling. "You are just so sweet Tenchi." She kissed him on the mouth. Aeka fummed and stood up. "Miss Ryoko, this is totally inapropriate! You may have him, but until you are married that is totally out of the question." She reached out to pull Ryoko off of Tenchi. Ryoko growled and with a flick of her wrist, threw Aeka into the wall. Tenchi broke the kiss and looked at her angrily. "Ryoko, that was uncalled for." Ryoko pouted. "Well she's butting in where she doesn't belong. Besides she's already dead and I am tired of having to hold back so much when we fight just so I don't hurt her." Tenchi looked at Aeka, who was peeling herself off of the wall. "Are you alright?" Aeka frowned. "Of course I'm not alright! I'm dead and I am getting no respect at all. You two are practically crawling all over eachother, not even taking your royal blood or my feelings into account. No selfrespecting noble would do anything like this." Tenchi bit his lip and looked at Ryoko. "Maybe we should hold off..." Yosho sighed. "Aeka, stop saying that. It just so happens that once a noble of age eighteen or more chooses someone they can do whatever they want." Ryoko grinned. "Oh I get it. Little prissy princess doesn't want anyone else to have fun so she makes up some story about royal ethics." Aeka's face turned red. "I did no such thing. I've never heard about anything like this Yosho." Tenchi thought about it. "Well you did leave Jurai when you were seventeen." Yosho shook his head. "No, that doesn't make sence. They teach sex education when you're just under Sasami's age." Aeka sniffed. "Well I didn't need any such thing, so I never took that class. My mother explained it to me when I was six." Mihoshi looked confused. "Explained what exactly?" Aeka looked at her. "That babies are made when a mommy and daddy love eachother very much, go into their room and pray together in private, then Tsunami leaves the baby in a tree." A deathly quiet filled the room as the others stared at her in shock. Aeka looked around at them. "What?" Ryoko started to speak, but Tenchi clapped his hand over her mouth. Then Aeka heard a snorting sound and saw Washu trying to keep from smiling. Aeka's confused look was too much for her. Washu burst out laughing, followed by Noboyuki, Mihoshi, Yosho, and Ryoko. Tenchi himself had tears in his eyes from his efforts not to laugh. Aeka glared at them. "What is so funny?" They all laughed harder and Tenchi clapped his hand over his mouth. "Oh this is so typical! You're all making fun of me." She turned away from them and pouted. Tenchi looked at her and felt bad. He elbowed Ryoko in the ribs and she stopped laughing too. Slowly the others calmed down and Tenchi said, "We weren't laughing at you princess. It's just that what you said... parents tell kids that when they are young. It's not where babies come from." Ryoko nodded. "He's right princess. If I had known that was what you thought I never would have been jealouse of you around Tenchi." Aeka shook her head, "What are you talking about?" They all looked nervouse and Washu sighed. "Fine, if you cowards won't tell her, then I will." She took Aeka's hand and led her to the other end of the room. "Now you see Aeka, you've seen Tenchi naked right..." Mihoshi giggled again and looked at Ryoko who smiled back. "Now that was funny." Ryoko laughed. "Yeah, it was." She looked at Tenchi. "Look, I'm sorry about being jealose of her all this time Tenchi. I feel so stupid." Tench smiled and rubbed her cheek. "It's alright Ryoko. I'm just going to consider myself lucky that we didn't live to hear that." She laughed again and hugged him. "I love you Tenchi." "I love you too Ryoko." They leaned in to kiss and were interupted by Aeka's sounds of disgust. "Miss Washu, that is just vile! I refuse to believe such a thing." Aeka said. Washu sighed and looked at Noboyuki. "Do you have one of your magazines on you?" Noboyuki smiled and pulled an old Penthouse out from behind his back and tossed it to Washu. "Who says you can't take it with you?" Washu showed Aeka the magazine. After a minute she turned away. "I believe I shall be ill. Are you sure I'm not in hell?" She looked at Tenchi and Ryoko suspiciously. Just then Tsunami appeared with Ryo-oki floating next to her in a glowing bubble. "O.K., time to go home." They all cheered and ran forward. On the way out Ryoko looked at Ryo-oki. "When we get home you and I are going to have a serious talk!" She picked the cabbit up and followed the others out. The end Author's note This was just a joke story.
