Tenchi Muyo: Heaven and Earth, Chapter 2: The Tears of Avalon.
Like lemmings to water, the Council members entered the court. The
political game of siting as close to the emperor as possible, and
therefore, closer to the political power, was played between Knight & Noble.

a nice image for the setting.

The court was convened. The speeches were given, and soon only Seriyou's
speech remained. Seriyou's speech was conciliatory, but irreverent. The
court could smell blood in the water, and soon, some began to cheer Seriyou
on. When his Speech was done, he sat down, with a smug look on his face.

Good, trimming out the irrelivent but setting the mood for the main
point.

The entire court looked stunned, and Seriyou's face twisted as he attempted
to decipher the kings move. "Truly killing two birds with one stone" The
king thought. The Courier brought a written copy of his proclamation, and
with a long, exaggerated stroke of the pen, Azusa set forth his plan. As
with all great villains, he then unleashed a sinister laugh, which echoed
throughout the Chambers.

"Too much Sake, Misaki whispered to Funaho..."

Lighten the mood why don't ya. personally I would have left without the
comment.

Aeka was in her room, in front of her sat a brand new Jurai battle uniform.
Tenchi was about to turn 19, and by Jurain Custom, was now a man. Another
custom was that, at the age of 19, a Jurain man would be given a suit of
armor from the one who loved him most. "Surely I lov. . . . " Aeka's
thought was cut short, as she heard Sasami rolling & Muttering in the bed
next to her.

A basis for a good duspute between the girls. 

Aeka noticed that Sasami was shivering. Aeka quickly grabbed a blanket, and
covered Sasami. "Sasami can sometimes have prophetic dreams," Aeka thought.
"I wonder if I should wake her."

Nice of you to include that spoiler information within the story.

Tenchi awoke to the normal sounds of Aeka and Ryouko fighting downstairs.
Looking out his window, he could see a small flurry of snow. "Meow,
Meooooow" called as she jumped through the door. "Tenchi neechan" Sasami
called "It's Christmas, wake up!!

Irrelevent but who called Meow?

Anyway it's an interesting Fanfic. write more and I will reply more.
