As you know, I don’t own Gundam Wing or Tenchi Muyo. But the fic is mine. Enjoy! Prolouge Note: This is an alternative universe fic, this takes place where The Colonies and Planet Jurai exist at the same time. Just to let you know! Wufei paced back and forth nervously. This had to be the only time he had been this nervous since his marriage to Ayeka. He stood outside her door, waiting patiently for the birth of his first child. He couldn’t take it anymore, he had to go in and see her. Since her hand maidens weren’t with her and neither was her mother or sister. At the moment he had a chance to see her. She had gone into labor last night and he hadn’t seen her since then. Careful not to make a sound, he opened the door as quietly as possible and crept in. Ayeka laid on her back, sprawled out on the bed. She wasn’t crying like most women would. She seemed very calm. Her eyes were closed as she kept her breathing steady. Wufei watched her, she was very strong indeed, not making a sound, or giving any indication that she was in pain. Slowly he made his way to her bedside. She opened her eyes and looked up at him. "What.....are you doing here? Your......not.........supposed to be in here. Do you have .........any idea of what ........mother would say if she saw you?" Ayeka said in between deep breaths, but managed a faint smile. Wufei returned the smile, and took her hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze. "I had to check on you. You didn’t think I would let my wife go through this alone did you?" She shook her head lightly. "No Wufei, I wouldn’t have thought that." "Glad to hear it." Wufei said, kneeling by her side, kissing her forehead. She squeezed his hand and leaned back into her pillow, letting out a few more gasps. Wufei studied her, wondering how she could handle such pain. A pain he would never experience. He looked at her, she had changed so much since they first met two years ago. Her appearance among others things had changed. For starters. Her hair was now all the same length, and it trailed down her back. And she had developed a more stronger technique in Juraian Martial Arts. He was about to say something else when........ "Wufei. What are you doing in here?" He heard, then turned around to find Misaki standing in the doorway, hands on her hips, frowning at him. "You know your not supposed to be in here. Now shew......" She gestured with her hand. He chuckled, then looked at Ayeka, who was giggling, and gave her hand another encouraging squeeze then got up and left the room, glancing back at her before Misaki closed the door behind him. Wufei folded his arms, sighing, he began walking toward the palace fountains, and sat on a bench, lifting his knees to his chest and hugging them. "Your highness." Said a voice, he looked up to see Kamadake standing infornt of him. "What is it?" Wufei questioned the red haired guard. "I came to inform you that your friends from Earth will be arriving shortly." Wufei nodded. "Thank you for letting me know. Please see to it that their quarters are ready." "Yes your highness." Kamadake bowed then left. Wufei watched him go, then returned his gaze to the fountains, watching the patterns of the water. He looked at his cloths, which were Juraian, but he designed them and had them made exactly the way he liked. The outfit he wore was similar to his white silk suit, but different. It had other designs, such as blue buttons, and silver dragons. He also realized he had changed since he met Ayeka. The only thing different about his appearance was that his hair was longer, which he still wore in a tight ponytail, which trailed down to his lower back. Closing his eyes, he slowly calmed himself down, and was less nervous, as he remembered the time he first met Ayeka. 2 years ago........ Wufei walked through the halls to the throne room, Heero, Duo, Trowa, and Quatre following close behind. This was his first visit to Jurai, and he was meeting his intended. He had been awaiting this day ever since Master Long had informed him of this, that his father and Emperor Asuza of Jurai made an arrangement between their children. It was an act of honor. His father had saved Asuza’s life long ago, and to show his gratefulness, he suggested that his daughter Ayeka marry his son. And of course Wufei’s father had agreed. To uphold his family’s Honor, Wufei was doing what was expected of him. "Your highness. Wufei Chang." Osaka informed the Emperor, as Wufei kneeled down. The other Gundam Pilots bowed, unsure of what else to do. Asuza sat on his throne, and studied the Chinese youth from head to toe. Satisfied with what he saw, he nodded once. "I’m very pleased to meet you finally Wufei." He said. Wufei stood up and observed his future father in law. "And I you your majesty." Asuza leaned back in his throne, looking at the other Gundam Pilots, questioning. Wufei followed his gaze. "Allow me to introduce my comrades. Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, and Quatre Reberba Winner." He said, pointing them out as he went along. The Emperor nodded again. I welcome you to my kingdom young men." "Thank you very much you majesty." Quatre smiled. "There will be a ball in honor of you and my daughter’s engagement Wufei. You will meet here then." Asuza informed them. "Your comrades are invited also. And it is a formal affair, so if you need anything, let my guards know. Osaka." "Yes your highness." Osaka asked. "Please show them to their quarters." Asuza requested. Osaka bowed. "This way." He said, gesturing for them to follow. Later that night........ Wufei leaned against a wall and watched the excitement around him. All the nobles where there, and so was the rest of Jurai’s Royal Family. His fellow pilots were present also. And him and all his friends had dressed in Juraian formal cloths. "Man do I have to wear this." Duo complained, pulling on the neckline of his shirt. "This is worse than wearing a tuxedo." Trowa to a sip of his drink and observed the festivity silently. Quatre was in a deep conversation with one of the young Juraian lords. And Heero was doing pretty much the same thing Trowa was, but was leaning against the railing. Watching the ballroom dancing. "Ah. There you are Wufei." Said Emperor Asuza as he approached them along with his two wives and his youngest daughter. "I’d like you to meet my wives. Fanaho. First Queen of Jurai. Misaki, Second Queen, and my youngest daughter, Princess Sasami." "It’s nice to meet you Wufei." Fanaho smiled, extending her hand, palm down. Wufei took her hand, and nodded. "It’s a pleasure." He returned his attention to Misaki, the next thing he knew, she had him in a tight bear hug. "Oh it’s so great to meet my future son in law." She exclaimed, squeezing him even more. Wufei gasped for air, finally she let him go. He looked at her startled, but politely nodded. "Thank you your highness." She smiled. Sasami stepped up and curtseyed. "Nice to meet you Wufei." She giggled. Wufei studied her, and lightly smiled at the little girl. And bowed. "Like wise Princess Sasami." He replied, then acknowledged his companions, who stood nearby, noticing the introductions, they all approached him. "I’d like you to meet my fellow team mates. Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, and Quetre Reberba Winner." He introduced each one and pointed them out. "It’s nice to meet all of you." Fanaho smiled at them. "Hi There." Misaki waved at them. "Hello." Sasami smiled. They all bowed, and nodded. One the introductions had been made, Wufei turned his attention back to Asuza. "Princess Ayeka will be arriving shortly with her brother Yosho." Asuza said, then looked at the other Gundam Pilots. "Please enjoy yourselves." "Thank You very much your highness." Quatre smiled. "Come Wufei, there are some other people I’d like you to meet." Asuza grinned. Wufei nodded and followed the Emperor, leaving his friends to mingle with the crowd. Wufei had met all of the Juraian Family, and finally weaseled his way out of the conversations around him, and went to look for his friends. He found them at the bar. Duo seemed a little lit, but not to much. Heero and Trowa were still silently watching the crowds and Quatre was drinking another non alcoholic beverage. "So what have you all been up to tonight." He asked as he approached them. "Enjoying myself." Duo answered before ordering another glass of what he was drinking. "Meeting other people." Quatre said, smiling. "Heero and Trowa didn’t say anything at first. "Just watching on." Heero replied. "Same here." Trowa added. Wufei raised his eye brows and sat down beside Duo who was downing his drink. "I don’t know what this is, but it’s good stuff." He grinned. Wufei looked at him, arching his eyebrow, then returned his gaze to the dance floor. A moment later the music stopped, and Emperor Asuza stood up from his throne. While Fanaho and Misaki remained seated. "I’d like to thank you all for coming to my daughter’s engagement ball." He said to the awaiting crowd. "Now, I feel it is time that Wufei meet his future bride.’ "I think that’s your Que." Duo said. "You think." Wufei frowned at him before making his way to the throne where the Emperor stood. Wufei stood infront of Emperor Asuza and once again bowed. "My people, this Wufei, the future Crown Prince of Jurai." The crowd nodded. "Now Wufei, my I present to you my daughter. Princess Ayeka. Your future bride." Asuza said as the crowd parted, and a figure approached them, wearing a sliver kimono like outfit, with aqua designs, and a peach sash. A silver robe covered the rest of her body from head to toe, and a silver veil hung from her tiara, covering her face. "Wonder what’s she’s hiding under that veil?" Duo blurted out loud. "Be quiet you idiot." Heero scolded. "Opps." Duo grinned sheepishly, then remained silent. Ayeka continued to walk forward until she reached the throne, stopping infront of Wufei, facing him. "Now Wufei, lift up the veil, and see your future bride." Asuza instructed. Wufei did as he was told, and carefully lifted the veil, pushing it over her head, and gazed at her. She had very delicate features. Her eyes were an intense violet red, and her cheekbones high. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. He stepped back and extended his hand. She looked at him, then placed her hand in his. The crowd then cheered. And there’s the prologue. Enjoy! Comments and ideas please! Email me at lady_allure@arcticnightfall.zzn.com
