Order from Confusion The night came and went and the sun once again began its steady rise out of the hills towards the sky. Tenchi awoke quite suddenly when he felt someone's head on chest. Opening one eye he saw that Ryoko had rolled over in her sleep and was now suspended between the two hammocks. Her head resting comfortably on his chest while her body still lay across her hammock. Ryoko's left arm was around Tenchi's torso and was giving him a gentle squeeze. For a moment Tenchi thought about going back to sleep but decided against it, if Ayeka or one of the other girls found them like this there would be hell to pay. The thought of his newest guests came to Tenchi's mind and he sprang awake. "Crap I have to get those guys out of my house before Dad and Yosho return. As far as Tenchi knew the saiyans and Yosho had past history and didn't care for one another. Tenchi tried to slide out from under Ryoko but found that impossible as she kept tightening her grip around him. Finally Tenchi nudged her until her eyelids parted and her eyes shone at hi once more. "Tenchi" Ryoko said with a big yawn, "I usually don't sleep this well when I am alone, you where wonderful". Tenchi cringed when Ryoko moved her head from his chest and stopped it next to his. "How about a good morning kiss" she said putting both arms on Tenchi's chest and leaning closer to him. "Ryoko stop I have a lot to do today" he said as he pushed Ryoko of him. Standing up Tenchi knew that he had to get downstairs as soon as possible. Ryoko remained in her hammock as Tenchi left, a look of frustration across her face "dam I was so close" she thought. Tenchi walked down the stairs and into the living room where he saw that Piccolo was still in his chair, only now he was hovering a few inches in the air. One of his eyes opened as Tenchi passed him. Piccolo turned his head and faced him. "Good morning" Tenchi said trying to sound cheerful, but the namek didn't respond. He stopped his floating and descended back into his seat. "What time is it?" he said as he stretched his arms "It's about 6, I think," said Tenchi " I'll go see if breakfast is ready". With that he turned to leave. "I guess I'll go wake the others," said Piccolo getting up As Tenchi walked into the kitchen he could smell the delicious aroma of fried rice and miso soup. Sasami as usual had already finished cooking most of the breakfast and was now sitting at the Table with Gohan who was eating the food with great hunger. "This is as good as my mom's," he said between bites "Thank you!" said Sasami with a big smile "Hi Sasami" Said Tenchi, "breakfast smells good" "HI Tenchi!" said Sasami "I'll go get you a plate" with that she ran to the cupboard. Tenchi took a seat across from the boy and looked with amassment as he polished of three helpings of rice. "Wow" he said, "the only person I know that eats like that is Ryoko" "I'm sorry" Gohan replied putting down his chopsticks "No, please," said Tenchi "Or else you'll upset Sasami" Gohan smiled and began eating the backed fish. Just then Goku and Krillin walked. "Hey dad, hey Krillin" said Goku looking up from his plate. "Hi " said the two in union. Tenchi watched them sit down on either side of Gohan. Sasami ran back and got more plates and soon everyone was eating. Suddenly there came a loud crash from upstairs. Everybody in the kitchen dropped what they where eating and ran into the living room. The first to reach the stairs was Goku, when he looked up he saw Vageta running down with his hands holding his head. "That women is insane, she's crazy get her away from me" he yelled as he ran past the crowd of confused people. Just behind him Ayeka dressed in nothing but a towel, along with azaka and kamadaki where in hot pursuit. The two guardians surrounded the prince of saiyans and erected a force field to trap him. Vegeta let loose a barrage of energy balls at the two wooden logs but they were able to shield them selves in time. Tenchi, against his better judgment ran over to Ayeka to try to calm her down. "Ayeka stop!" he yelled as she gave the trapped Vegeta a blast of her own. "Tenchi, stay out of this" she said with an enraged look on her face, "do you know what this mongrel did!" With that she let another shock of energy throe her force field, which knocked the saiyan of his feet. "This pervert was in the woman's bath spying on me, I've never been so insulted in my life!" "Ayeka please, he must have an explanation" Tenchi said turning to Vageta, "You do, don't you?" "I refuse to use that disgusting hell hole you call a men's bath" Yelled Vageta "I, am the King of all saiyans and I deserve nothing but the best, now release me or pay the consequences" "He deserves to be taught a lesson," yelled Ayeka letting lose another shock "Please Ayeka I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it" said Tenchi "now please let him go I'm sure he's sorry" Ayeka turned to Tenchi and looked into his eyes "It is because you and only you ask me that am I letting him go, if it where anyone else, this fool would be dead by now" The force field disappeared and Vegeta stood up. Dusting his cloths off he glared at the other occupants of the room. "Well what are you all searing at, haven't you ever seen a price before" he said "Let go finish breakfast" said Sasami leading everyone back into the kitchen Ayeka went upstairs to get changed and Tenchi went looking for Piccolo. As everyone cleared the living room a very aching GP officer crawled out from behind the couch, the night of sleeping on the floor had left her very stiff. Sniffing the air she smiled and gave a joyful squeal "yay breakfast" with that she dusted herself off and ran to eat. Upstairs Tenchi searched from room to room for the namek only to find him slumped against the wall near the woman's bath. "That girl has some punch," he mumbled as Tenchi helped him to his feet. "Are you goanna be OK?" asked Tenchi "Yha, no problem" he answered as he walked down the stairs to join the others. Now Tenchi turned his attention to Washu, who he had to call for breakfast. This meant him going into her lab alone, something Tenchi tried to avoid at all costs. "Perhaps today she'll be to busy to try to get a sample out of me," he thought as he made his way to his former closet under the stairs. When he got to the door he saw a sine taped to the handle, it read "to anyone who is foolish enough to enter, please note that I am very busy disturb me at your own risk." Tenchi took this as a sine that Washu didn't want to eat and turned to leave. Suddenly he felt arms wrapping around his stomach, they grip tighter and stopped him. "Ryoko I don't have time for this" he said breaking her grip. "Ow common Tenchi, we slept together the least you can do is give me a hug now and then." Tenchi cringed at her comment. The two walked into the kitchen together ant took a seat at the overcrowded table. The mounds of food that Sasami had prepared where reduced too nothing in only a few minutes and everybody got up to leave. Just then Tenchi herd his grandfather's voice coming from the front hall. "Tenchi" Yosho called "Come hear and help your father and me with the groceries." "That's it I'm done for," he thought as he ran from the kitchen. He found his father and grandfather carrying in boxes of food. He ran to the car and removed the last of the packages and carried them back into the house. As he walked into the kitchen he saw everyone on their feet and in a circle around Yosho and Vegeta. The two men glared at each other. "So you highness" said Vegeta with a smirk "I thought that Freeza took care of you a long time ago. Looks like your hiding out here and I thought that you where a true warrior." At least I had the courage to stand up to him coward, I didn't turn my back to my people and become his servant like you did!" replied Yosho with a raised voice, something that Tenchi had really seen. "I wouldn't talk to me that way if I where you, I am a super Saiyan now and I am much stronger then Freeza ever was" said Vegeta as he powered up. Again a glow consumed his body and his hair and eyes change color. Yosho stood there calmly, "I see you've gotten stronger but you are still no match for a true Jurain prince." I've seen what you people can do said Vageta, that little princes over there has a few tricks but nothing compared to my power." "Fool!" said Yosho, "females only poses significant defensive powers, me and Tenchi on the other hand poses the true power of Jurie" "I will show you true power old man," said Vegeta clenching his fists. "If you want to fight I suggest we take this outside", said Yosho "I'd hate for Tenchi to lose his house over you" Vegeta gave a quick smile to everyone and in a flash of light he was through the kitchen door and in the small field in the back of the house. Yosho followed, only he walked calmly with his head held high. The others followed closely behind. Tenchi saw Goku walking alone and walked over to him. "Do you think Vegeta has a chance?" he asked. "What makes you think Vegeta is the one in trouble?" replied the Saiyan "I don't know," said Tenchi "I mean I saw him defeated by Ayeka and she's not as powerful as my Grandfather" "I think Vegeta was just fooling around with her, I mean I saw her power level and he could have easily destroyed that force field if he wanted to, but I think he didn't want to hurt her" said Goku "Are you saying he likes her?" said Tenchi with a shoed look on his face "I don't know," said Goku, "but Vegeta would not have calmed down that quickly if he was trapped and attacked by a woman." The two walked outside after the others, Nobuyuki was standing in shock at the sight of the flying man. As Tenchi tried to comfort him the only thing Nobuyouki could do was faint. The saiyan hovered closer to the ground and faced Yosho, "Since your grandson showed me hospitality I will make this as quick as possible" "Thank you" said Yosho, I'll try to do the same but I can't promise it won't hurt". Having said their peace the two men continued to face each other, each man glared at the other. Suddenly Vegeta lunched forward, his fist stretching to wards Yosho face. However when he reached him Yosho was no longer there but several feet away with his back turned to the confused fighter. Vegeta quickly changed directions this time setting up for a kick. This time Yosho ducked out of the way and grabbed Vegeta's leg. "If this is your true power then you already lost the match," yelled Yosho as he used the leg to throw the Saiyan into the grown. Vegeta began to slide across the dirt but manned to use his hands to stop and flip upright. "You'll pay for that Jurain scum," screamed Vageta as he lunched himself at the old fighter again. His speed caught the Shrine master of guard, before anybody saw what happened Yosho was on the ground. "Impressive, saiyan" said Yosho as he catapulted him self to his feet. Wiping away a small trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth Yosho began to glow. "Suddenly Yosho no longer looked like an old man. His glasses disappeared as did his gray hair, they where replaced by the features of a man in his mid twenties. The shrine master's face was now longer riddled with rankles and he seemed to have put on some muscle. Yosho now stood looking at his opponent, a smile darted across his face as he vanished into thin air. "Carp!' said Ryoko "That guy is done for now, I've seen him like that before and trust me it's not pretty" Ayeka began cheering, "Go big brother show him why it's not wise to tangle with the Royal family of Jurie". Vageta let out a small gasp as the Jurien materialized directly behind him. When the Saiyan spun around he was no longer there but above him. Yosho opened his had and an energy ball materialized in his palm, only instead of growing bigger it began to shrink. When it was the size of a pea he sent it flying at the gawking Vegeta. The Saiyan looked on in wonder as the tiny spark of energy flew toward him. "You call this an attack," yelled Vegeta as he crossed his arms "that thing couldn't hurt a fly". With those words the Prince stood still and waited for the tiny spark to hit him. Piccolo who was standing on the ground, looking on with the rest closed his eyes and turned away. "It's over," he said just as the spark found its mark. What resulted was the larges explosion that area had seen since the atomic bomb of WW2 many years ago. The blast was remarkably accurate it was concentrated only on Vegeta and did no damage to anyone except him but the shock wave from the attack knocked that resulted everyone except Goku and Piccolo off their feet where. The dust cleared moments after to reveal that the saiyan prince was still standing there with his arm's crossed and with a smirk on his face. His cloths where singed and torn all over but he continued to look unharmed. "Wow" said Goku, " Way to go Vegeta that attack was a powerful one". Vegeta continued to float there like a statue. Yosho was the one that had a smile now. The Jurain jumped of the ground and flew towards the Saiyan. "I didn't know my grandfather could do that," said Tenchi as he got up to his feet. The others began to get up as well. Yosho was now a foot away from Vegeta who was still had his arms crossed but he was now looking of into the distance with a blank look on his face. Yosho chuckled "Stubborn until the very end" with the he reached out and gave Vegeta a small tap on his chest. At that instant Vegeta stopped glowing and his hair turned black again, then he slowly fell from the sky and onto the hard dirt. "Unbelievable" yelled Goku, "He defeated a super saiyan with just one attack. Yosho was now on the ground bent over the fallen fighter. "I don't think his dead, Tenchi help me get him inside" said the priest. Everybody had found their way into the Masaki living room and looked on at wonder at Yosho. The man had turned back into an elder and was now busy bandaging up Vegeta with Tenchi's help. "He tried to kill you," said Tenchi handing him a fresh bandage "Why should we help him?" "Because we are not that cold hatred," replied Yosho "he is misguided with his anger and we should try and show him mercy". Goku approached Yosho from behind with a determined look on his face. "What is it saiyan" said Yosho without turning around. "I'm very sorry for Vegeta, he shouldn't have picked a fight with you" said Goku with a low bow "Please don't judge the rest of us by his actions" "I know that you two are nothing alike" said Yosho as he sat down in the leather chair " Your heart is pure and unstained like that one, it is truly rare to see that in a saiyan". "I wasn't razed a saiyan" replied Goku "It's a long story but I would like to tell you sometime" "That would be nice," said Yosho "Now there was something you wanted to ask me, I can see it in your face" Goku hesitated for a moment and then knelt in front of Yosho, "Honorable master I would like your permission to study and train under you with my friends" For a moment the priest's eyes came alive darted around the room. Finally they stopped at Tenchi. "I don't know" he said "Tenchi would you mind sharing your training sessions with the other fighters?" Tenchi jumped back with surprise. This great decision was unloaded into his lap by his grandfather. "How can I say now to them" he thought to himself "If I do my as is grass". Tenchi looked around the room at the others who where now staring at him with anticipation, even the namek looked on with great interest. "Sure" said Tenchi trying very hard to look like it wasn't bothering him. "What I'm going to do, my house isn't big enough to hold all these people" "Then it is decided," said Yosho motioning for Goku to stand up "You are all to train with Tenchi, we start tomorrow, o and Tenchi I will speak to you later tonight at the shrine" "Hai" replied Tenchi Dinnertime was a new experience for everyone, especially Tenchi. Noboyuki went to stay with his sister for a few nights to calm down and Yosho was still at the shrine. Tenchi now sat at the head of the table and watched the men and women devour the food that Sasami had spent hours to prepare. As usual Ayeka and Ryoko sat on either side of him and Sasami sat next to Ayeka with Mihoshi and Ryo'oki at her side. Across from Sasami sat Gohan and his father and at the other end of the table sat Piccolo. Vegeta who by then regained consciousness chose not to eat but to go out to cool of. "This is really good," said Gohan as he drank the last of his soup. "Thank you!" said Sasami "It's a recipe I got of a TV show". The rest meal of the meal past in an uncomfortable silence broke only by the clatter of plates and chopsticks. This was mostly because the girls where still to shy to fight in front of the strangers. Finally Goku broke the ice "So Tenchi, have you and your grandfather been training long?" "Since I was seven" replied Tenchi, "not that it helps, I still can't fly or shoot beams from my hands" "That's not true," said Sasami, "remember your fight with Kagato" "Yes" added Ryoko "You made the lighthawk wings appear and you sliced that ship in two, you're my hero" with that she put her arms around him and squeezed her cheek to his. "Yes, but that was an accident, I haven't been able to do that since" said Tenchi as he attempted to break her grip. "Let go of him this instant," yelled Ayeka "Make Me," said Ryoko as she began to squeeze harder Tenchi gave both girls a stern look "please not tonight!" He said with firmness in his voice. Ayeka sat back down and Ryoko let go of him. "I can't believe that worked," he thought to himself. "If we're goanna start training tomorrow we better get some rest" said piccolo getting up from his seat. "Yha" said Tenchi getting up as well "Now lets figure out where everyone will sleep" "I have solution for that" said Washu as she walked into the kitchen, "I made a separate living quarters for our guests. The portal is in the closet in your room Tenchi" "What!" Tenchi managed to say despite his shock "Couldn't you have put it someplace else?" "It's the only way that dimensional portal wont conflict with the one to my lab" said the scientist as she sat down in Tenchi's seat. Minutes later Tenchi was leading the group of men up the stairs. "You mean where goanna sleep in another dimension?" asked Krillin "Yes" said Tenchi, "but don't worry it's perfectly safe, Washu's lab is in another dimension and she practically lives in there" Tenchi lead the others throe his room and to the closet. "Well here we go," he said as he opened the door. The first thing everyone saw was a warmly lit room with a sofa and an armchair in it. Everyone piled into the small space and looked around. The paintings on the wall where of Washu with various other scientists, she was either shaking their hands or with her arm around them. There where four rooms other then the living room. One for Goku and Gohan the other for Krillin and one for piccolo. These three rooms where all connected by a hallway with a bathroom at the end. On the other side of the living space was a separate room for Vegeta with his own bathroom. "Isn't that thoughtful," said Goku "Now we won't have to look at his face all the time" Each room was decorated differently to suit their occupant. Washu had done her homework on each of the new guest. Piccolos room had green wallpaper and a bed with a very stiff mattress, Goku's and Krillin's rooms both had orange wallpaper and comfortable king sized beds dressers and large screen TVs. Vegeta's room was very different from the others. It resembled that of a throne room. The red and blue wallpapers in the room with dim lighting made it seem more like a cave then a bedchamber. With everyone settled Tenchi left back throe the door and started to get ready for bet. Just then he realized that he still needed to talk to his grandfather. Zipping up his jacket to combat the summer night air he left the house and began walking up the steps to the shrine. As he reached the top he saw something that made him both curios and terrified there stood Vegeta talking to Yosho. Only their words where calm and in a lone tone. Tenchi strained to hear what they where saying about but found that he was still out of range. Moving closer Yosho heard the words Saiyan and destiny being spoken by Vegeta and his grandfather nodding and saying it's true. Tenchi stopped behind a tree ten feet from the two men. Trying not to be heard he steadied his breath and remained perfectly calm. Suddenly he heard his grandfather raise his voice, "Ah a see we have a visitor, come here Tenchi". Tenchi nearly fell to the ground at those words. Steadying himself the young man walked out from behind his hiding place. "we will finish this later" said Vegeta as Tenchi approached. With that the saiyan turned towards the house and flew off. "Grandpa" said Tenchi with a confused look on his face, "what was that all about?" "Never mind that" replied the elder, "come with me" The two walked side by side into the shrine. Yosho lead Tenchi into the small room that housed the ancient books. The two sat at a small table in the corner and the priest began preparing tea. "So, how do you really feel about your new training partners?" asked Yosho as he filled Tenchi's cup. "I don't know," replied Tenchi, "The house is as full as it is and these people will eat us into the poor house" "Well then, we will give them chores to do to earn their stay and besides you could use a few sparing partners closer to your level." Tenchi looked into his cup and tried to think of a way to convince his grandfather other wise, however he soon realized that it was impossible. Not wanting to push his luck Tenchi Tried to change the subject. "Grandfather why didn't you tell me that you could do all those things" "What things" replied the priest with a small smile? "You now" said Tenchi hesitantly "Fly, throw energy balls, oh and move faster then anything I ever seen before" "Oh that" said Yosho "Well there are several reasons for that. First you weren't ready to understand it until the resent events with the girls and Kagato, you weren't ready to except you heritage. Second the flying and the energy throwing are just cheap tricks the true power of Jurie is something far greater. When you know your true potential you wont need to resort to that sort of thing." "Cheap or not" said Tenchi "I wouldn't mind learning how to do that" Yosho took a sip from his cup and then set it back down on the table. "Very well grandson, if you wish I will show you how to do those things, but you must promise me that you won't go overboard with those skills once you have them" Tenchi's face lit up, "Won't I promise he said as he got up" "Good" said Yosho, "now go get some sleep tomorrow is a big day for you" Tenchi raced from the shrine and down the long stone staircase. "If I have those powers then non of the girls will be able to push me around any longer" he thought to himself. As Tenchi lay in his bed that night he could only think of the next day and what it would hold. Suddenly he felt a hand come over his mouth and another around his throught. "Try anything and you're dead," said a voice from the darkness.
