Second Chances Prologue: Ohaiyo! Today, unlike other days, held a still morning calm. Tenchi turned over in his bed, and absently wiped a stray trickle of saliva away from the corner of his mouth, before pulling a night-chilled limb back under the covers. Lazily relaxing, he yawned and stretched in his bed, and snuggled himself deeper into the warmth of his comforter. Suddenly, a faint 'whoosh' of air announced the usual unexpected visitor. Or so he thought. He decided to pretend he was still asleep. After all, it had worked at least once before. Maybe she’d just leave him alone so he could get some more sleep. Yet he soon felt the edge of his bed depress from the weight of another. So that's how it was going to be this time. His nerves danced with tingling anxiety, but he resolved to stay still to see how it would play out. A gentle hand reached out and delicately ran along the length of his body. Tenchi kept his eyes shut, envisioning the graceful girl beyond, all sinuous curves and bountiful charms. Inwardly, he giggled in nervous anticipation. Outwardly, certain southern elements were slowly rising to the occasion. Tenchi could hear her getting closer to him, leaning down toward his face, and he chanced a tiny, unfocused peek through his eyelashes. He caught a sliver of a glimpse of silvery pale hair, and a green dress? Well, she must have gotten something new just for him. His excitement increased to near-nosebleed levels. He could feel her hot breath against his cheek, peering close. Perhaps she was wondering if he was still asleep. Tenchi secretly smiled to himself without revealing the slightest possibility that he was still awake. This time, he vowed, he would surprise her instead of the other way around. Suddenly, without warning, Tenchi threw off his bedcovers and embraced the figure on his bed, pushing her down against the springy mattress. He pulled her close in a rush and tangle of warm limbs, feeling her graceful curves against his body. “Ha! Surprise!” Tenchi opened his eyes. A pair of crimson-in-yellow pupils turned their startled attention toward him over an elegant set of darkened lenses. The tiny glasses caught a hint of Tenchi’s reflection. "Good morning, Tenchi," a deep, sultry voice stated with an exceptionally sharp smile. Tenchi's screams could be heard for miles. This was going to be a long morning. ________________________________________________________________________ Tenchi Muyo in Love 15: Kagato in Love! It is absolutely disgusting. God hates us.
