Red Lanterns

By

"Not again?  Is this what you do every night?" Sasami asked.

Y'know, with this being one of your fics, I halfway expect every line to be
loaded with sexual innuendo. Even statements from Sasami.


"I don't see you doing something else?" Ryoko said,

else." (It doesn't sound like Ryouko's asking a question, even a rhetorical
one.


"You're still not angry with me are you, Ayeka."

Ayeka?"

"No, of course not, fifth sister."

Sasami sighed.  Always the 'fifth'.  Why couldn't she go back to
just being Ayeka's younger sister?

Curious



"Only because she couldn't get married in a hundred years!"

Oh? I think I see what this is now.


"I... I just couldn't find the right guy," Sasami said, her voice
wavering.  "I did try.  I saw how happy you all were.  It was something
I wanted.  But every guy I met, no matter how nice or good they were,
just didn't give me the same feeling Tenchi does."

"Some of the women, but none of the guys," Sasami sighed.



"Mihoshi's turn," Washu, Ayeka, and Ryoko said simultaneously.

"What?" Mihoshi asked, looking at the lantern that hung at the
entrance to the hallway that led to her bed chambers.  "Oh, yay!"

You know, I'm starting to think you're setting us up, DC. Only problem is
I'm still not sure what's really going on.


"Tenchi has visited me, Ayeka, and Ryoko 9125 times.  Mihoshi is
at 9124.  It may look random, but Tenchi really tries hard to be fair."

"You've _been with_ Tenchi that much?" Sasami asked, blushing red.
"I've only been with him that month together at the honeymoon."

On the other hand, it could be exactly what you're implying. ^_^


"Yes, 36 times altogether including the honeymoon.  Tenchi will
come up with some way so that, from the point where you joined us, we'll
all be equal.  We've each got him to ourselves 12 times since you came.
Eventually, all the numbers will match again in another couple of
months," Washu calculated as she looked at the graphs.

"That's hardly romantic," Sasami sighed.

But it's wise for personal survival. Favortism breeds destruction, you
know.


"You'd be surprised.  Somehow he sets extra time for when we are
sick and when we have our birthdays.  He still manages to make us all
equal to him," Washu sighed.  She loved it when Tenchi foiled her
calculations with his timing.  Still, it didn't stop her from trying to
squeeze an extra day out of him.

Heh. Typical Washuu.




"You think so?  Is that why you always mope around naked, Ryoko?"
Mihoshi asked.  "Should I do that too?  I need to find that old bunny
suit that Tenchi likes.

But what about the hamsters? ^_^



"Don't listen to her, fourth sister.  More often than not, it is
because of your insistence at continuing to work with the Galaxy
Police."

"Oh, I couldn't give that up.  Kiyone-chan wouldn't know what to
do without me."

There might be some horrible underlying truth to that. That could really be
the scary thing.



"Go get 'im," Ryoko, said, patting Mihoshi wholeheartedly.  "He'll
need the warm up when it comes to my turn tomorrow."

"You mean, my turn," Ayeka said frostily.

Sasami blinked.  "They still fight like that?"

"Wouldn't be them if they didn't,"

true.


"Has he ever lit more than one lantern?  You know, uh, to catch
up?" Sasami asked delicately.

"Well there was that one time...."

"It wasn't like that!  He just wanted us to make nice with each
other," Ryoko and Ayeka yelled, glaring at Washu, daring the scientist
to make an issue.

hehehehe.


"Is it always like that?" Sasami asked as she pointed to the still
cheering Mihoshi.

"Find out in another couple of days when it gets back to you.  Ask
me then."


Cute little piece, especially for something that was done in an hour.
