Outline for Yosho/Yuzuha fanfic (currently untitled)
by Ryo

I.Initial changes.
 a. Description of Yosho and Yuzuha spending their time at the Startica
fair.
 b. Yuzuha not offering to take Yosho away, but instead wanting to stay
with him.
 c. General guy comes with soldiers like TOC, but Yuzuha proclaims her
love and saying she
    would never hurt him or something like that. General takes her in
for trial or questioning
    instead of banishment.
 d. Trial or hearing or whatever takes place, with Yosho finding out
what yuzuha is, but still
    defending her. The emperor thinks all this over and, deciding that
Yuzuha would make a better
    ally then an enemy (but still not completely trusting her, come on,
she's the apostle of the
    dark tree for crying out loud!). Decided that no action is taken
place, but if any ill action
    is taken, then immediate banishment is commenced.

II. Future scenes (possible immediate 'flash forward' jumps without flow
scenes.)
 a. Yosho and Yuzuha seen playing secretely together.
 b. Yosho and Yuzuha walking along, with a young Ayeka watching
jealously. (Age Yuzuha to fit
    time appropriately. Yosho and yuzuha approx. 15, Ayeka approx. 7.
exact age difference would
    be helpful.)
 c. Ryoko attacks, with Yosho defending with the Tenchi-ken and Yuzuha
using a weapon of some
    sort also (perhaps a tenchi-ken fueled with the power of the dark
tree?). Sasami/Tsunami
    assimilation still takes place. Yosho and Yuzuha leave Jurai to
chase Ryoko, but also to
    get away from everyone looking down on their
friendship/relationship. (this is not rock solid
    yet. If anyone can give some good ideas on where they could go or
what they could do, I might
    change this.).

III. Current Tenchi timeline changes.
 a. Tenchi goes to visit his weird grandparents at the masaki shrine
regularly. (perhaps give
    him a darker shade of skin or a silverish color hair?) Wakes Ryoko
like TOS, but an extra
    scene with Yosho and Yuzuha (both looking young again) trying to
contain her again.
 b. Tenchi's weird uncle and aunt (Yosho and Yuzuha in disguise) are
occasional visitors.
 c. Tenchi's mother survives? (possible, but I'm not sure I'd want to
deal with all the extra
    changes I'd have to do with the story.)
 d. Tenchi still can use the tenchi-ken, but it gives off a strange
black energy down the center
    of its 'blade' The light hawk wings are also present later, but with
an extra pair of black
    wings at diagonals to the light ones. (think clock hands. perhaps a
new name for these?
    maybe 'wings of the black raven' or something like that).
 e. further changes?

IV. Character personality changes.
 a. Yosho: still basically the same person. Knows of Yuzuha's wild
(can't exactly call it evil
    anymore) side and accepts it. Can get defensive if people mistreat
her.
 b. Yuzuha: she now has a base image similar in age with Yosho instead
of a child and she still
    uses her disguise colors (i.e. white skin and orange-reddish hair)
instead of the green and
    silver. Obviously less spiteful and revenge-driven. Perhaps still a
little love-struck even
    after all this side, yet retaining a 'wild side' to her. Definitely
a more caring parent than
    in the original ^^. Also less afraid to use her powers more than
Yosho.
 c. Tenchi: Same as TOS, but with slight changes in looks. Possibly have
him know of his
    'unearthly origins' earlier in age, but not sure. Obviously more
powerful now that he has
    the Jurai royal families power + the power of the dark within him.
perhaps a hidden, darker
    nature lurks within? Maybe just get some bad habits from his grandma
^^
 d. Ayeka: Still stuck up, still hates Ryoko, and now either hates
Yuzuha for taking Yosho or
    looking to her as a sister figure?
 e. Ryoko: same as TOS, but with a bit of a weariness/fear/grudging
respect for Yuzuha.
 f. Everyone else: basically the same until I change events in the
current Tenchi timeline
    accordingly. I will, however, be having Kiyone in the story since
I'm basing this off of the
    second movie and the OAV's.

Any questions/comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks to Arthur Edwards for sending me an e-mail that convinced me to
flesh out this idea!
