A Meeting of Cousins

A Tenchi fanfic by June "KaraOhki" Geraci

December 10, 2000



Disclaimer:  I'm borrowing RyoOhki.  She may be my cousin, but I didn't

invent her.





I stirred my carrot soup, and peeked into the oven to see if the carrot cake

was done yet.  It was a lovely golden brown, and I removed it from the pan

and set it aside to cool.



*Where's that confectioner's sugar?* I asked myself, and started making the

cream cheese frosting.  Carrot cake isn't carrot cake without cream cheese

frosting.



Then the doorbell rang.  My paws were full of sugar, so I headed for the

sink to wash them but someone started pounding on the door, and I thought I

heard miyaing.  Forgetting about the state of my paws, I ran to the door and

yanked it open.



There stood my cousin, RyoOhki.  Her fur was a tangled mess, she looked like

she hadn't slept in days, and she was crying hysterically.



"Hide me!  Hide me!"



I looked past RyoOhki, but couldn't see anything that could frighten her so,

but I locked the door just in case.  Then I pushed her into a chair at the

table and served her a big bowl of carrot soup.



"Don't talk about it, hon.  Drink this, and then go take a bath.  You can

tell me after."



Cousin RyoOhki just sniffled, before making the soup disappear.  She

silently held out the bowl for a refill, and the second serving disappeared

just as quickly.  Then I got her a clean towel and pointed her toward the

furo.



I frosted the cake while she bathed, and worried.  RyoOhki was normally the

happiest of cabbits, and this was the most upset I'd ever seen her. I

couldn't imagine anything that could possibly shake her up so.



When RyoOhki returned she was clean and fluffy but didn't look any happier.

Her refusal of a piece of carrot cake convinced me something was truly

wrong.



"What IS it?" I asked.



"Haven't you read your email?" she countered.



"No time.  I've been stuck on one of my own fics."



Before I could say anything more I was dragged to my computer and plopped

down in front of it.  "READ this!"



So I began.



The first poem about cabbits and horses was sort of cute and the other poems

and haiku that followed were reasonably amusing, although I did think that

an overabundance of them might annoy other list members.  Then RyoOhki

pointed at one message, and I knew trouble was coming before I even opened

it.  It had a "lemon" tag.



"This isn't about you, is it?"



The only reply I got was tears.



Well, I read it.  Then I read the replies.  By the time I was done, my

cousin was calmer, but still quite unhappy.



"You're not thinking straight, are you?"



"What?"



RyoOhki looked so confused that I took pity on her.  "You have the ability

to scare the pants off of these people who are annoying you so. Just go

'mecha' and chase them around the neighborhood for a couple of hours."



"Oh miya!  I never thought of it!"



"Tell you what.  Let's have some of this cake, and I'll come help."



The cake's gone, people.  We're coming.  I think you'd better hide.



-----



On a more serious note, I think enough is enough, and as a representative of

the cabbit community, I'd like to see it end.
