I wrote this awhile back, I
had this idea about a 'fic about Jurain court life. This would be OVA
continuity and would take place a *long* time from now (in the Tenchi
timeline that is).
Palace Life (fragment? Teaser? who knows)
parenthood
A small child wandered the halls of the Jurian palace. His cloth covered
feet making no sound on the polished wooden floor. In the distance he
could hear voices, one of these the person he was seeking.
"Your majesty; I must protest. If you don't guard your forces better
you will be defeated!"
Tenchi sighed and leaned on his hand. "Azaka, this is a chess game;
not a war."
Temujin, captain of the palace guard, moved his queen three spaces to the
left. "Check, my lord; and, I believe, mate."
Tenchi looked back at the board, considering his next move. A blue blur
crossed the room and attached itself to his leg.
"Daddy!"
Tenchi looked down, a slightly-more-than-two-year old boy was firmly
griping his thigh. "Tenko!" Tenchi picked up his son.
"Oh! my lord!" Tenko's nurse Kagami entered the room, wearing a
robe. "I'm sorry, I was asleep." Kagami's voice quivered with
nervousness.
Tenchi dismissed her with a wave. "It's all right, go back to bed.
I'll take care of him."
The nursemaid disappeared the way she came.
Tenchi leaned down and picked up his son. He noticed a cabbit perched on
his son's head; half hidden by his wild main of pale blue hair. Tenko
didn't really need the nursemaid, his cabbit would ensure no harm came to
him.
"I couldn't sleep. When is mommy coming home?"
Tenchi gazed into his son's golden eyes. "Soon. She's away with her
fleet. She should be home in a day or two."
Temujin softly tapped the table. "My lord, the game?"
"Oh yes." Tenchi moved his knight. "Checkmate."
End,
whatever

"There was indeed a river one drop of which would rob a
man of his memory. There was, of course, a snag. No one
knows where it is, because they're always pretty thirsty when
they find it."
"And after it was a woman. Very definitely. A lot of woman.
She was as much woman as you could get in one place without
getting two women."
In case you can't tell I just finished "soul music" by terry
prachet.
If someone is looking for a really bizarre crossover try adding the
death of rats as a character.
