Sketches of Tenchi 6: Tearful True Confessions
A Tenchi Muyo! OAV/MnE fanfic

Ah! I'm rubbing my hands together briskly. :)
Less outright farce than last episode. Some of the humor may be
TOO sneaky; I'm interested in feedback on that.
As usual, watch out for the killer lime.
Hrm... Revenge of the fruit... so to speak. :)
"Yes, it's true! I tried to kill my fiance's child by another
woman!"
In Youshou's office, Washuu, Tenchi, and Kiyone watched a hologram
of Lady Fuyuno confess. The knives held to her throat by various
children's toys spoiled the effect somewhat. The terrified
prisoner disappeared from the conical holographic field emitted
by the small wooden box, to be replaced by the visage of Yuzuha.
A number of the newly-arrived fiancee corps watched from the door.
Youshou himself was nowhere to be seen.
"Will you return the Lady Fuyuno to stand trial?" asked Kiyone.
"No, you can't have her back!" Yuzuha snarled. "She's my
plaything!"
"Under what circumstances," persisted Kiyone, "did Lady Fuyuno
enter your realm? Was it voluntary or involuntary?"
"That red-haired witch cut most of my portals," replied
Yuzuha, pointing at Washuu. "So my new guest could only enter my
realm _because of_ her murderous assault on my daughter!" Yuzuha
smirked, then turned toward the door and announced, "You heard
right, girls: I had Prince Tenchi's love child!"
LOL!!!
A sudden babble erupted from the doorway. A number of the
young ladies darted off, speaking rapidly into their jewelry.
It's amazing all the, ahem, places one can hide communications
devices...
"I never!" sputtered Tenchi. Kiyone nodded indignantly. Washuu
just snickered.
Yuzuha turned back glared at the three. "Now, what are you doing
to protect my daughter?"
BTW, how is it that Yuzuha is still alive? Is this something
explained in one of the earlier chapters that I have since forgotten
or is it yet to be explained?
Kiyone snorted. "Oh, like you're a model of motherly love."
Tenchi, however, looked over at Washuu. "We do need to do
something, Washuu-chan. Mayuka is just a little baby; she can't
defend herself."
Washuu thought for a moment, then nodded. She spoke to Yuzuha.
"I will set up my own defenses, but, in addition, I will allow you
to activate one or two of Mayuka's natural defenses."
Yuzuha looked very amused for a moment, but agreed.
Hmmm, this bodes ominous...
"I'm supposed to marry this creep who had a love child with the
Dark?" screamed the redheaded Asuka, stomping her feet.
"No way! I'm leaving! What about you, wonder girl?"
"Since I was ordered to marry him, I will do it," replied Rei,
tonelessly.
:) Rei needs a big shot of self-determination.

Once more, Aeka, Sasami, Ryouko, and Tenchi confronted giant
projections of Funaho and Misaki.
"Rumors are spreading all over Jurai," announced Funaho. "We
can't suppress the news."
"I expect it to show up on JNN any minute now," added Misaki
with a grin. Behind the two queens, a large flat screen lit up
with a large grainy photo of Yuzuha, accompanied by smaller
pictures of Mayuka and Tenchi, and a headline in 40-point Juraian.
Handy hyperlinks to background on Tenchi showed on one side, with
a real-time count of his currently active fiancees. Other links
offered opportunities to place bets on the final number of wives,
or to vote in a poll for your favorite fiancee.
Hehehehe. A little stab at anime shrines, ne? ^_^
"Well, Misao, what _I_ do when I have a scary dream is go sleep
with Tenchi-niichan. He protects me and then I don't feel scared
any more."
"THAT'S HORRIBLE!" interrupted Asuka. "Boys and girls should
never sleep together at his age until they're married!"
:) She may not get along with Aeka and Ryouko too well, then.
"Why not?" Sasami wondered. "Is it bad to feel protected? I know
Aeka-oneesama and Ryouko-neechan want to sleep with Tenchi."
"I guess they have scary dreams too," added Misao.
Sasami's eyes twinkled, but she only nodded, saying "...and I
think Mihoshi must, also. She was moaning when I walked in on her
and Tenchi the other night."
O_O O_O Darn, and I wanted to see that. :P
Asuka looked appalled. "YOU DID WHAT?"
"I walked into her bedroom. 'Cause I knew Tenchi was there, and
he'd protect me."
"And did they have their clothes on?" Asuka asked, with emphasis.
"No, silly. They were wearing pajamas." Sasami said, smiling.
"And what was Tenchi doing to her, the pervert?" In a lower
voice, Asuka continued, "I bet he's a pervert just like all boys!"
"I think he was trying to wake her up."
"HOW, exactly?" asked Asuka, suspicious.
"By tickling her."
"TICKLING her?" Asuka sounded dubious.
"You know, running his fingers over her chest and sides."
Rei took this moment to observe, "Mihoshi is from the planet
Daikyou,
*sigh* Off to JEDS... Hmmm, all I get is "daikyousou", meaning
"megacompetition".
is she not?" Addressed ostensibly to Sasami, Rei gave
Asuka a significant look as she said this.
"I think so," answered Sasami, hesitantly.
"WHAT? How are we supposed to compete with one of those balloon-
breasted women?" Asuka protested, then whined, "It's not fair!"
Hehehehe.
"ROOAAR!" screamed the ursine figures, appearing through a hole in
the air directly above Kiyone. Dozens of concealed weapons
appeared in various female hands, pointed in Kiyone's direction.
The shooting and slashing started.
Underneath the pile-up, Kiyone found herself staring face-to-male-
member at a decapitated corpse. Orange, smoking blooddrops ate
holes in her uniform. A red bow tie, clearly labeled "Made by
Washuu", fell on to her nose. "Great. Poohbares instead. Very
funny, Washuu."
-___- Poohbares?!?! Oh, my... Who's Christopher Robin? TENCHI?! :)
- - - - - - - - - -
In the woods, Aeka and Tenchi walked slowly along, close but not
quite touching.
Yup.
Every once in a while, one glanced at the other
and blushed. Seemingly without volition, their feet traced a
path to a certain mountain cabin.
"Tenchi, I-"
"Aeka, I-"
Both broke off speaking. After a pause, Aeka continued. "Please
let me speak first, Tenchi-sama. You need not say anything, just
listen."
- -
Back at the house, Ryouko sat cross-legged above the veranda,
entertaining some of the newcomers. "Yes, it's true! I shared my
first time ever with my most bitter rival!"
Heeeee!
- -
"At first I did not mind Ryouko's presence within me," Aeka
said slowly, looking down rather than at Tenchi. "I was caught
up in my own excitement over what you and I were about to do.
Oh, I hope you do not think that was too forward of me, Tenchi-
sama!"
- -
"And 'ol Aeka-hime was coming on to Tenchi like you wouldn't
believe!" Ryouko asserted, waving her sake bottle around at her
eager listeners. Several angled their necklaces or earrings for
better reception.
LOL! This reflects the conflicting story-telling between the two
from the TV series well. :)
- -
"My skin felt on fire to your touch as your hands explored my
body. I cannot describe how I felt that you did indeed find me
attractive. I had been... more worried about that... than I
realized."
- -
"No warm-up for her, no sirree! She just wrapped her legs around
Tenchi, grabbed his ass, and pulled him right in!"
A murmur of appreciation rose from the growing audience.
:)
- -
"It was at about that point when I realized that Ryouko was not
going to be content as a passenger in my body. I felt her
reaching for control, attempting to animate my body as she might
inanimate stone."
- -
"But no, that greedy, selfish Princess wanted to shut me out of
all my pleasure! I fought back, determined that I was going to
enjoy my first time with the man I love or die trying!"
- -
"I know that it was your first time too, Tenchi-sama. I am very
sorry that I was not better for you than I was. I could not
know; nor, I believe, could Ryouko, that her effort would
send us both into epileptic shock and unconsciousness."
- -
"There I was," Ryouko announced, pausing to chug a large swallow
of sake, "trying to enjoy myself with the love of my life,
and the Princess just goes and conks out completely. And she
almost took me with her, too! Fortunately, as I was in complete
control of our merged bodies, Tenchi and I went on to enjoy a very
eventful night! Hours and hours, and very well tooled, too, if
you know what I mean!" Ryouko winked.
Uh-huh.
- -
Tenchi stopped walking and embraced Aeka. "That's all right,
Aeka. Maybe it's just as well that you and Ryouko lost
consciousness; you probably saved me some embarrassment, and
yourselves some disappointment. I... lost control... almost
immediately when your merged bodies started shaking. I'll try to
do better next time."
Aeka, her face buried in Tenchi's chest, got out, "I wish you'd
stayed in bed with us. I was so worried the next morning when
you weren't there."
"I know. I'm sorry, Aeka. I meant to return, I really did.
I just needed to go for a walk, get some fresh air. I was
coming back, when... things happened."
"You cannot belong to me alone, Tenchi-sama, I know that. I grew
up knowing that. But I want to feel, when you have chosen me
for a night, that at least you belong to me, and me alone,
for that night. I want to wake up next to you."
Tenchi suppressed the impulse to add "and Ryouko." Instead, he
just held her for a time.
O_o
- - - - - - - - - -
And back at the house, a giant spectral apparition appeared over
the lake.
Misao screamed. Mihoshi eep'ed. Kiyone, struggling to creep out
from under a gory pile of poohbare corpses, muttered, "And now I
suppose _she's_ come to announce the end of the world."
"Greetings, ephemeral universelings. I am Tokimi, your fellow
wife-to-be. I have come to get to know you better."
Oh, gee. No pressure there. :)
Of course, I can't say if I got all your jokes, but I tried to
comment when I did or at least felt there was one present, even if I
didn't get it. :) Look forward to the next.
