TENCHI MUCHO! A Tenchi Muyo Fanfiction By Dave Menard DISCLAIMER: Tenchi and co. are copyright AIC and Pioneer, and are used here without permission. WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE: Go to my page (url below) to see chapter one, but here's the short version. Washu, from the Tenchi TV Universe, has rebuilt her Dimensional Tuner (Last seen in TV episode "Time and Space Adventures") and meant to use it to create her perfect world. Unfortunately, due to interference from Mihoshi, she was sent into the Tenchi OAV universe instead, where she encountered her analogue in that dimension. In no time at all, other Washus started appearing from the other Tenchi canon universes, and soon a Washu-party was being held in OAV Washuu's floating onsen. WHICH WASHU'S WHICH? Washu: Tenchi TV series Washuu: Tenchi OAV and manga Washyuu: Shin Tenchi Muyo! Prof. Washu: Pretty Sammy TV series Washu Fitzgerald Kobayashi: Magical Project S Events in this fanfiction take place in the OAV universe, roughly a year after "Daughter of Darkness" ----------------------------------------- Chapter Two: No Need For Quantum Tenchis! ----------------------------------------- Sasami hummed merrily to herself as she prepared dinner in the Masaki kitchen. Ryo-Oh-Ki, in little-girl form, helped, chopping carrots alongside her bestest friend. All in all, it was an extremely kawaii scene of domestic happiness. "I wonder," Sasami pondered, "If Washuu's guests will be staying for supper?" "Miya?" Ryo-Oh-Ki chirped, in a adorably kawaii manner. Suddenly, the scene of domestic bliss was shattered by the fleeing naked form of Tenchi as he streaked through the kitchen like all the hounds of hell were at his heels. "Oh dear..." Sasami worried cutely. "I wonder what's wrong with Tenchi?" Ryo-Oh-Ki shrugged. The answer was quick in coming as a pack of Washuus in bathtowels charged into the kitchen. "Which way did he go, Sasami-chan?" A Washuu asked, jogging in place. Sasami and Ryo-Oh-ki pointed silently in the direction Tenchi had headed, big beads of sweat on their brows. "Thanks!" The Washuus chorused, before hurtling out the door after the naked boy. "Come back, Tenchi!" called a Washuu bringing up the rear. "You forgot your towel!" "We can play 'Salaryman and Soaplady!'" called another. "Ten-chiii! I'll show you my magic fingers!!!" a third cried. Tenchi's terrified yells echoed across the lake. ************************** Ryouko and Aeka sat in the bath, thinking dark thoughts of revenge. For a change, these thoughts weren't directed at each other... "Did you SEE the way Miss Washuu er... The Miss Washuu_s_ carried on?" Aeka sniffed primly. "It was disgraceful!" "Uh huh..." Ryouko growled. "Like a horde of hottentots." "Honestly, a woman of HER age behaving in such a manner!" "Something's gotta be done, little princess. Tenchi'll NEVER come around if she's poking and prodding and fondling and stuff..." "I quite agree! Something MUST be done!" The duo stewed in silence for a moment. "She's gotta have SOME kinda weakness..." Ryouko mumbled. "She's YOUR mother, YOU tell ME..." Aeka snapped. "Don't remind me!" The space pirate snarled. Suddenly, indentical lightbulbs went off over each girl's head. "BABIES!" They cried in unison. "You get Mayuka, I'll go save Tenchi!" Ryouko said, rising out of the bath. "No, _you_ get Mayuka, _I_ shall rescue Lord Tenchi!" "No, I'll do it-" "No, _I'll_ do it!" "No, me!" "Me!!" "ME!" "ME!!" Laser swords and force fields were deployed to settle the issue, with the usual results. ************************************ Mayuka, (the baby in question,) was presently lying happily in the arms of her great-grandfather, the man known alternately as Katsuhito Masaki or Yosho Jurai, depending on which planet you happened to be from. "Coochie-coochie-coo..." The shrine priest/prince-in- exile whispered to his purple-haired charge, jingling the keys to the shrine over the baby's head. Mayuka gurgled happily, reaching for the ring. With a clutching hand, she managed to capture one of the keys and tugged it downwards towards her mouth. "Now, now, little one, I don't imagine those would be very tasty..." Mayuka evidently disagreed, as she brought both hands to bear tugging the key into her mouth. "Ah well," Katsuhito smiled. "I suppose when you're teething, you just need to chew on something..." He allowed the infant to guide the key into her mouth. Suddenly, blue fur sprouted across the baby's skin in a pattern of stripes as she bit down on the iron key. Katsuhito held up the remaining half of the key, examining the place where it had been sheared in two as if by bolt-cutters. "It is a good thing, I think," He murmured, looking down at his now fur-less charge, who smiled pleasantly back, "That no one ever had to breastfeed you, great granddaughter." He was started out of his tranquillity by the sound of bare feet slapping against the stone steps of the shrine. "GRAMPA! You've got to HIDE me!" Tenchi squawked, sliding the door closed behind him. "Tenchi!" Katsuhito scolded. "You _must_ keep your voice down, you'll frighten your daughter!" He blinked once as he noticed Tenchi's clothes, or lack of them. "And for goodness' sake cover yourself!" He threw an old set of robes he'd been using as swaddling for the baby at Tenchi, who quickly dressed himself. "Now, boy. What seems to be the problem?" "There's a whole pack of little Washuus after me!" He groaned, slumping to the ground in defeat. "As if I didn't have enough problems..." "A pack of Washuus, you say? Hmm... That must be who I hear coming up the stairs..." "Huh? WHAT?" Tenchi yelped. Katsuhito nodded towards the door. Tenchi turned, sliding the door open a crack. Trembling, he peered outside. "HIYA, TENCHIIII...." Five identical voices said at once as five identical spiky-haired girls smiled kawaii-ly. "Eeep!" Tenchi eeeped, sliding the door shut once more. "What am I going to do?" "Leave that to me, Tenchi," Ryouko said, materializing beside him. "I need to borrow Mayuka for a sec." "Ryouko, no! She's not a toy!" "I know _that_, Tenchi, geez! Just trust me, willya?" "Tenchi, listen to the young lady." Katsuhito nodded sagely. "I believe I know what she plans to do." "Aww, okay, Grampa, but I'm still-" "Thanks, Tenchi!" Ryouko grinned, picking little Mayuka up by the back of her jumper. "I saw this on Macross once, it's _gotta_ work!" With one foot, she slid open the door to the shrine house and stepped out, holding Mayuka aloft like a sacred idol. "Behold!" She cried. "The power of love!" All five Washuu immediately went all big eyed. Even the two who weren't old enough to HAVE children. "OOOOOHHHHH! A BABY!!!!!!" The Washuus rushed forward, snatching the infant from Ryouko's grasp. "Isn't she cuuuuuute?" Prof. Washu cooed. Washuu nodded. "Absolutely adorable, isn't she? I'm one of her godmothers, you know..." "Oh, babies, babies, babies..." sighed Washyuu and Washu in stereo, their voices slightly sad. "Can I hold her? Pleeeeeze?" W.F.K. pleaded. Mayuka, overjoyed at all the attention, gurgled happily and blew a dribble-bubble. In the midst of all the baby-fever, Tenchi was able to escape back down the hill, Ryouko quick at his heels. "See?" She grinned at Tenchi. "I toldja it'd work!" ************************************ Ryouko and Tenchi met up with the rest of the household back at the house. A council of war was quickly held. "This is intolerable!" Piped Aeka. "Something simply must be done! Tenchi, ask them to leave!" Tenchi opened his mouth to respond that he already had, thank you, when Nobiyuki chimed in. "Now, son. You know better than that! We can't just throw them out, they're our guests!" "So what are we supposed to do, then? Let 'em have Tenchi? I don't THINK so!" Ryouko growled. "Mayuka ain't gonna hold 'em forever, ya know..." "Oh dear oh dear oh dear..." Mihoshi fretted. "What are we going to dooooooo?" "I'm afraid we can't afford to feed all those Washuus unless Uncle gets a pay raise..." Sasami said, worriedly. "Miyaa!" Ryo-Oh-Ki contributed, but since no one there spoke cabbit except for Ryouko, (and she wasn't listening) no one understood her. "I suppose we could always use Washuu's machine to send them all back, couldn't we?" Tenchi opined. "Hey, yeah! That'd work!" Ryouko seconded enthusiastically. "Great idea, Tenchi!" She rewarded him with a glomp, placing her rump directly in Aeka's face. "Now look here, monster-woman!" Aeka cried, shoving Ryouko's hindquarters aside. "You're no better than Miss Washu when you behave like that!" She spared Ryouko a glare before saying sweetly to Tenchi: "It _was_ an excellent idea, Lord Tenchi, but I'm afraid I must point out a flaw in your otherwise perfect reasoning. Does anyone here know HOW to operate any of Washuu's machines?" "Umm..." "Errr..." "Ah..." Mi-yaa..." "I do!" Mihoshi said. Once everyone had picked themselves up off the floor, Mihoshi elaborated. "Well, it's just that her inventions are so fascinating and I love to watch her work, even if she doesn't like it when I'm in her lab... Not to mention the fact that dimensional theory is really not much different than superstring theory, and I did my final paper at the Galaxy Police Academy on superstring theory... Anyway, I think I could figure it out... Why is everybody looking at me funny?" ************************ The gang (minus Nobiyuki and Ryo-Oh-Ki, as well as the Washuus, who were still playing with Mayuka up at the shrine) was gathered in Washuu's lab, frantically following Mihoshi's directions as they powered up the Dimensional Tuner. "I can't believe we're following directions from _Mihoshi_..." Ryouko grumbled. "_I_ can't believe she has a PhD in Quantum Physics from Galaxy Tech!!" Aeka seconded. "_I_ can't believe she was class valedictorian..." Tenchi thirded. "I'm not worried!" Sasami said cheerily. "I just _know_ Mihoshi can do it!!" In minutes, they were ready. The others had to admit that the device _looked_ like it was properly assembled, and what readouts they could understand looked nominal. Nothing was flashing red, anyway. "Mmm, okaayyy..." Mihoshi said as she looked over the device, absently twisting a lock of hair around a finger. "I've set the recall function at four, so hopefully that should get rid of the extra Washuus..." "You're absolutely _sure_ that this is going to work, right, Mihoshi?" Tenchi pleaded. "Of course! All I have to do is hit this little green button..." She pushed down on the switch, and the machine made an alarming siren-y protesting sort of sound. "Or maybe that red one..." Mihoshi, Ryouko, Tenchi and Aeka disappeared in a flash of light and a puff of ozone. Sasami shook her head sadly. Poor Mihoshi will be so upset...
