Wheeeee! :P
Here it is, as promised. Last chance for comments.
I'll take that chance.
"Ohh, I can't wait to get to the beach."
"Yeah, me too."
too,"
Tenchi said as he finished tying the cord of his
black-colored (and very baggy) swimming trunks. He double checked
doublechecked (I think - may want to look this one up)
the cord.
With the way his luck had been going, the trunks would probably be
too
loose and float off him once he hit the ocean or something. No way
was he
taking any unnecessary chances, not with the way his vacation had
gone so
far.
Heh.
Mihoshi was nearly bouncing up and down in excitement.
And we all know what else was bouncing up and down with her-- BAP!
WAAH!
"It was nice of you
know who
you-know-who
to repair my ship, wasn't it
it,
Tenchi?"
"Yes, it was." Tenchi was not enthusiastic about having to
constantly refer
to the Juraian Security Directorate as 'you know who,' but they
had
promised their silence on the matter, and Mihoshi insisted they
not call
the Directorate by name, even in private.
After the successful meeting with General Shakari, he and Mihoshi
had been
sworn to secrecy about what had happened. The general had assured
Mihoshi
in particular that he would take care of informing the Galaxy
Police about
the matter, and had promised to leave out any details concerning
her part
in the affair. She was supposed to be on vacation, and if she had
to file a
report on the matter, she would be forced to call an end to her
vacation
and go through who knew how many debriefings. And it was not as
though the
Directorate had not already thoroughly interrogated had and
omit "had" before "and"
learned all the
they
needed to know; it would have been a waste of time. Mihoshi had
felt bad
about not reporting to her superiors, but they had specifically
given
orders that they did not want to hear from her while she was on
vacation and, she
vacation, and she
was ever the obedient officer. Besides, if you couldn't trust the
Juraian Security Directorate, who could you trust?
Which doesn't hold up to close scrutiny with the application of a
little thought. :)
To help Mihoshi out, they had rebuilt her ship, leaving it in even
better
shape than before the crash, even going so far as do Midasize it.
O_o Do they need that in a vacuum? Oh, well, maybe during
planet-fall. :P And I do mean "fall".
Even
Yukinojo was placed into his new domicile without a problem,
although
Shakari informed Mihoshi that they had purged
that they purged
the memory programs that had
information concerning Stargrave and the Yagdagron. They left a
fake
diagnostic test that informed Yukinojo there had been a small
malfunction
in his memory bank that had wiped out the events in the last few
days and
that the problem had since been repaired. That had seemed
That seemed... (Vince has been chewing me out for too many 'had'
constructions, as you loose a lot of immediacy to the story. Just
thought I'd pass it on. :)
to take care of
everything, as near as everyone could tell.
The two had landed
The two landed
on Aqua Regia without further incident, proving that
miracle
miracles
could happen. Yukinojo was happy to shut down and go on his own
'vacation' at last.
"Ahhhh." Yukinojo, in shorts and a tank top, settled down into his
virtual recliner, picked up his remote, and proceeded to catch up on
missed episodes of Transformers. "Gee, I wish I could do that."
:P
Accommodations proved no problem, despite arriving over
a week late from when they made their reservations. There was
plenty of
room at the hotel Mihoshi had selected, a
extra space
very nice choice with an elegant
interior and a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere (with little in the
way of
screaming children, or screaming aliens, as the case might have
been)
Mihoshi told him she had stayed at it before when she was younger,
Mmmm, suggest no comma here.
and that
it hadn't changed a bit since those days. After a hassle-free
check in, the
pair went directly up to their room. The room itself was very
ornate, with
tasteful ocean oriented
ocean-oriented
decorations
At least for those guests with the proper ocular apparati to see it.
:)
and everything seemingly in order.
There was the slight problem of the man at the front desk making a
slight
mistake in giving them a room with only one king-sized bed instead
of the
double that Tenchi had specifically asked for, but he was sure
they could
have it changed.
GAAAAHHHH!!!
But it would be for after they had a chance to enjoy some
quality time at the beach.
Awkward. Suggest: But it wouldn't be until after they had a
chance...
In a pinch, he could even sleep on the floor. It
was the right thing to do, after all. He and Mihoshi had already
shared
enough body warmth, not that it had been a bad experience, not at
all. She
had been pretty warm, and it wasn't as though she had tried to
seduce him
(while she was awake) or anything. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if
they were
to share the same bed...
Yes... yes...
No, no. He didn't need to have any thoughts like that; they would
just get
him into trouble.
*thump!*
Although, it had been kind of nice waking up next to
someone. And there were other considerations. After he had feared
Mihoshi
was dead, he somehow, in some imperceptible way, felt closer to
her. A lot
closer. Actually, he now really, really wanted to spend some more
time with
her, even though they had already spent over a week exclusively in
each
other's company (not counting interrogators and people trying to
kill
them). It was just that for some reason it didn't feel like enough
time.
The whole matter was all very confusing to him.
Nothing new there. :)
"So how do I look?" Mihoshi spun around once in a circle to show
off her
swimsuit.
The distraction's timing would have been perfect, save that the
nature of
the distraction did little to ease Tenchi's thoughts. "Ah, very
nice."
Tenchi felt himself blush slightly. Mihoshi had chosen a
considerably more
revealing outfit then
than
Tenchi had. It was a pink two-piece bikini that,
while not as revealing as something Ryouko might have worn, was
definitely
less conservative than a suit Aeka would have chosen. He also
couldn't help
noticing that she filled the suit out VERY well. However, that
particular
thought made him realize something was... missing.
"Of course!" Tenchi shouted in joy as he gave a tiny leap into the
air. He
went over to a nearby table and proceeded to smack his head into
it.
Several times.
O_o
"Ah, Tenchi, why are you slamming your head into the table?"
Mihoshi asked
as she stared at him in confusion. "Did you leave something behind
on
Earth? Don't feel bad. I know when I go on vacation I always
forget to take
something along. I think it's that way for every race, except for
the one's
ones
that never take vacations, of course. Now, I happened to notice
that this
time I forgot my sunglasses, but I wouldn't hit my head into a
table
because of that, and you shouldn't either."
Tenchi smacked his head into it one more time before turning to
Mihoshi,
his eyes almost filled with tears. "I can't believe it. The voice
in my
head's gone."
"What voice?"
Tenchi was nearly delirious with joy. "Back on the planet, after
our crash,
I kept hearing this voice in my head. A pretty raunchy one too.
one, too.
Sometimes
it would go away, but every time I hit my head, it would come
back. But now
it's gone. The doctors must have made it go away. HAHA-"
Tenchi's laughter was interrupted as Mihoshi broke a chair over
his head. A
metal one.
Heh.
Tenchi moaned in pain, eventually lifting himself from the floor.
He was
still holding his head in pain as he shot Mihoshi a look of
incomprehension, "What did you do that for?"
"Is the voice in your head back yet?"
"No."
Mihoshi picked up a second chair. "Don't worry. I'll try again."
"No! Stop!" Tenchi stepped backward and once he saw Mihoshi
drawing back
the chair again for another swing.
Mihoshi kept it poised above her head. "How come?"
"That's my line," Tenchi retorted. "Why did you hit me in the head
with a
chair?"
Mihoshi put the chair down and sat in it. "Well, since you said
the voice
in your head went away, and that it would come back if you hit
your head,
and you were smacking your head into the table, I assumed you
wanted it to
come back. Since it didn't seem to be working, I decided to help
you out."
"NO!" Tenchi grabbed Mihoshi by the shoulders and shook her
slightly to
emphasize his point. "I was just making sure it was gone. I don't
want it
back, ever."
"Okay, I won't hit you in the head again. But if you change your
mind--"
"--you'll be the first person I go to," Tenchi assured her. The
ringing in
his head had stopped. It must have been becoming sturdier form all
of the
abuse he had taken over the last few months.
:j
It was time to get down to the
beach before something else, less repairable, went wrong. "Let's
go. And
here." He handed her an extra pair of sunglasses. "I know what
it's like to
forget things too."
things, too."
The pair made their way down the stairs and through the crowded
hotel lobby
and prepared to go out onto the beach. Tenchi was eager to get an
up close
up-close
look at it. The only time he had a chance to examine the world was
as they
were landing, and a mile high view
mile-high
of a beach did not exactly allow one to
get a good impression of it, other than it was large and had no
visible oil
spills nearby.
:j
The pair cut through the lobby and towards the back, catching
sight of the
sunny exterior through the oceanside of the hotel. The two walked
out the
back of the hotel and onto the edge of the beach adjoining it. At
a glance,
it wasn't really all that different from Earth's style of beaches.
There
was sand. There was an ocean (whose waters were clearer than
anything on
Earth). There were beachgoers. There was an outdoor bar next to
the hotel.
There was a swimming pool next to the hotel for those that didn't
like to
swim in the ocean. Yes, everything was just like Earth, except for
the
multiple-limbed aliens, the amorphous-blobbed aliens, the aliens
with the
big heads, the aliens...
Yes, yes. Comparative Xenophysiology is next term. :P
Mihoshi giggled and spun around in a little circle, holding her
head up to
the skies as she basked in the warm aura of the sun. "Isn't this
great,
Tenchi? There isn't a cloud in the sky. The temperature is just
right. The
ocean is clear blue. There's only a light breeze, allowing us to
enjoy the
brisk salty air--"
"--No one on the beach is wearing a bathing suit."
BONG!!! I was waiting for *something* to be wrong. :)
"--No one on the beach is wearing a bathing suit. There's lots of
food
vendors. There's..." It took a moment for the actual words to set
it. Using
her impressive detective skills, Mihoshi examined the people in
her
surroundings a little more clearly. "It looks like you're right
about that,
Tenchi. That's odd. I distinctly remember wearing a bathing suit
the last
time I was here."
"This particular section of Aqua Regia was converted into a
nudist's beach,
Ma'am. It's that way on this entire island and the adjoining
ones." One of
ones," one of
the waiters that worked the outdoor bar mentioned as he passed the
pair.
On second thought, suggest: ...and the adjoining ones," mentioned a
passing waiter, working the outdoor bar.
Mihoshi appeared relieved. "Well
"Well,
that would explain it. I just knew
everyone was wearing clothing last time. Better get out of your
suit,
Tenchi." Mihoshi began to undo the straps on her bikini top.
*_*
Visuals, please. :P
"Whaa?" was all Tenchi managed to get out as Mihoshi's top fell to
the
ground. It took him a moment to collect himself, especially with
the view
he was suddenly receiving. "Look, why don't we stay at one of the
other
islands? One that has people wearing clothing."
It took a moment of stared confusion before Mihoshi gave Tenchi a
wide
smile. "Oh, I understand."
"Thank goodness," Tenchi sighed.
"You don't have to worry about getting sunburned. I'll be happy to
lotion
you up."
"Lotion here, lotion there... Oh, my. Tenchi!" *Giggle*
"What you want?"
"Eh?" Tenchi and Mihoshi sit up.
"You call 'Lo-shun'. Is me, your Amazon waitress."
Never mind. Blame it on too few drugs in my youth. :)
"That is not what I meant!" Tenchi shouted.
Unfortunately. :j
He quieted back down once he
realized everyone was staring at him because of the outburst.
"What I mean
is, I don't think I'm really comfortable with the idea of going
out there
without a bathing suit."
"How come?" Mihoshi asked as she took off her bottoms.
*_*
FAN SERVICE ALERT!!!
Cue cheap porno music: Vibra-slap (that's a musical instrument...
really), funk guitar, and trapset. Cheesy horns in the background.
"I'd feel kind of weird." Tenchi wondered exactly why Mihoshi had
suddenly
seemed to have become as brazen as Ryouko tended to be.
"I don't know why you would," Mihoshi said without a hint of
duplicity.
"Everyone else is naked too. That means being naked is normal.
Now, if you
were the only one wearing a bathing suit when no one else was,
then you'd
have a reason for feeling weird."
"Well, yes," Tenchi slowly admitted,
admitted.
"So you should feel weird with a bathing suit on. Therefore
Therefore,
if you take off
your bathing suit, you shouldn't feel weird."
"I guess." Tenchi started to become uneasy at the course the
conversation
had suddenly taken. He was losing an argument with Mihoshi; that
was not
supposed to happen. Perhaps the Directorate had done something to
him he
was unaware of.
Sorry, Old Bean. She was already that way.
It felt like he was being set up, and Tenchi suddenly found
himself wishing
he still had the voice in his head. It tended to be more savvy and
would
probably have known what was about to happen. Of course, it would
also have
been making all sorts of suggestive remarks about the attractive
naked
female in front of him. Ohh, he was thinking of Mihoshi in terms
of
attractiveness, not a good way to talk himself out of being on a
beach,
naked with her. He tried to bring his thinking around back to the
original
course it had been on, but Mihoshi's further prattle prevented
that.
"And since everyone else is nude, it only makes sense you
shouldn't mind it
either. Unless you have something to be embarrassed about."
That caught his attention. "I do not," Tenchi spluttered out.
Heh. A little salvo across the bow of the male libido works wonders.
:)
Mihoshi continued on, as though she hadn't heard him. "Don't
worry, if
you're embarrassed, then we can leave."
"I have nothing to be embarrassed about!"
"I'll go back in and check us out." Mihoshi started to head back
into the
hotel.
"Look here!" Tenchi shouted as he dropped his trunks and held his
arms wide
apart to show that he had absolutely nothing to hide.
LOL
All went quiet as everyone within the sound of his shout turned
briefly
towards him.
Someone snickered.
Tenchi suddenly didn't feel quite as confident as he had a second
ago.
:)
Mihoshi turned, and smiled. It wasn't a lascivious leer, but one
of simple
happiness. "Oh goody. We're going to stay." She grabbed his arm
and the two
of them went out to the beach itself, making sure to bring their
swimsuits
along, as well as grabbing a couple of beach towels that the hotel
offered
at one of their booths along the beach.
Tenchi noted that about eighty percent of the inhabitants of the
beach were
humanoids of about the same general appearance as an Earthling. He
also
noticed that, unlike most of the beach-oriented shows he had seen
on
television and at the movies, many of the inhabitants of the
beaches of
Aqua Regia were not the sort he would have chosen to view without
clothing.
Certainly very few of them compared with either his own, fit body
and
Mihoshi's rather well endowed one. His pride swelled slightly.
So did other things.
SCHWING!!!
Sorry, that was crude of me. I feel suitably abashed.
Tenchi shifted his towel in front of him. No sense in Mihoshi, or
anyone
else, getting any ideas that he was perverted or something.
As his initial wave of indignation passed, Tenchi's usually
reserved
demeanor began to reassert itself, allowing parts of his anatomy
to calm
down. Here he was, walking right next to an attractive, naked girl
that he
knew really well. Maybe he was making a mistake.
No. Suddenly he realized that, well, he was being something of an
indecisive weenie. Harsh words, but, there
words, but there
was something about this whole
situation that made him want to act more... mature, at least when
it came
to the opposite sex. Perhaps it had to do with how close to death
he, and
especially, Mihoshi had come.
...to death he, and especially Mihoshi, had come.
Perhaps it had to do with that part of his
subconscious that had come to the fore from the concussion. As
much as
Tenchi was loath to admit, it had been right about a number of
things.
No! Not the latent bi-sexual tendencies (he hoped),
O_o
but rather in his usual
habit of avoiding any serious thoughts that concerned dealing with
members
of the opposite sex in a mature manner. Okay, seeing other men, or
at least
aliens that were comparable to him, made him realize he might not
have been
the 'biggest' man around, but he wasn't that bad either. It was
normal to
actually go out on dates, have girlfriends, and other things that
ordinary
guys around him did. It was true he had never had a real
girlfriend, had
never been on a date actually, but maybe it was about time he
tried to do
those normal things. Admittedly, he didn't want to hurt any of the
girls'
feelings, but none of them acted like they were going to give up
on their
own any time soon. That meant either continuing to semi-lead them
on in the
hope that matters would work themselves out, or making some sort
of
decision. Perhaps it was time to stop wasting everyone's time and
actually
make a choice. Yes, just thinking about it made him realize that,
as
difficult as it might be on him and the others, it was probably
the right
thing to do.
Maybe it's just time to date them, and THEN see what he thinks. Oh,
well. Common sense isn't a hallmark of this particular love
pentangle.
The two began to pick out a spot, well away from most of the other
beachgoers, to lie out in the sun. Tenchi thought since they had
some
measure of privacy, now was the time o speak his mind. He cleared
his
throat to catch his companion's attention. "Mihoshi, it wouldn't
be fair to
Aeka and Ryouko if I didn't spend any time alone with them before
I made
any sort of important decisions, so I'm going to have to go off
alone with
each of them too. But if I was forced to choose someone right now,
I have
to admit, it would probably be you."
Mihoshi looked at him blankly. "What are you talking about,
Tenchi?"
Mmmm, I don't know about this. She's a bit, ah, non-linear in her
thinking, but I have a hard time thinking she wouldn't twig to what
he's talking about. He certainly put enough preamble on it.
An exasperated sigh escaped his lips. She would force him to spell
it out.
"Look, what I'm trying to say is that I can now admit that I
really enjoy
spending time with you, and I know I like you a lot. An awful lot.
I'm not
sure, but I think it might even be lo..."
Tenchi trailed off as a high-pitched whistling began to fill the
air.
Ah, Deus ex Machina, in the form of Ryo-Ohki, no doubt. :)
An
all-too familiar whistling. Tenchi knew exactly what it meant
without
having to look up. Instead, he leveled his stare towards Mihoshi.
"Hmm.
Since you're right here in front of me, that means you're not the
one
that's plummeting out of control from the skies."
"Yep."
"Yep,"
Mihoshi confirmed. "There was an evil mirror universe version of
me
that accidentally ended up in our universe once, but I outsmarted
her and
sent her back forever. There's no way it could be her. Besides,
she used to
brag about never having crashed her spaceship."
Okay, DB, you are going to HAVE to write THAT one! :)
The whistling grew louder.
Tenchi nodded in understanding. "In light of what I was about to
say, that
means it can only be one, or two people."
He's learning. :)
Mihoshi looked up to the sky. "Say, isn't that-"
"I should imagine so," Tenchi said without bothering to look up.
Judging
from the pitch of the whistling, the ship would be crashing in
three...
two... one.
*CRASH*
"Zero." Tenchi looked to the large space ship that had chosen to
crash in
an empty stretch of the beach within fifty feet of Tenchi and
Mihoshi. A
door opened from within the middle of a set of black protrusions,
and two
women fell out of the ship before it shrunk down to the form of a
cabbit.
"I can't believe how much power that stinking ship had," Ryouko
said as she
was barely able to raise her fatigued form out of the pile of sand
she had
collapsed into.
"And that it called upon reinforcements." Aeka was barely able to
rise to
her feet as well. "How many of those ships did we destroy?"
"Four of the big ones, about a dozen of the ones half its size,
and close
to twenty five of the ones that were about the size of Ryo-Ohki."
Ryouko
tallied. "And now we got to crash, I mean land, and let Ryo-Ohki
rest up.
And I need some rest too."
Gah. I wanna see the battle, Mommie! :(
:)
Aeka held a the
Rogue "a"
back of her hand to her head in distress, as dramatically
as a princess should, just as she had been taught. "It's simply
not fair.
Why must we be delayed on our holy and righteous quest? Why must
we be
forced to go through the fire and swords of the enemies who seek
to prevent
us from saving the one noble soul who has touched me in the way
Suggest: ... in "a" way
no other
could?"
"Except for Yosho," Ryouko said.
"Yes, except for Yo-" Aeka cut off abruptly and scowled at Ryouko.
"No!
That's not true! I did not harbor those feelings for my brother!
Aeka's going to wet the bed tonight. :)
What I
felt for him was the affection a little girl has, one that could
not
understand what love truly is. It is only now, that I have
blossomed into a
delicate woman in the flower of her youth, that I understand what
true love
means. And now, you repulsive demoness, you've made me lose my
place."
"Saving the one noble soul who has touched me in the way no other
could."
"Thank you, Lord Tenchi." Aeka cleared her throat. "Yes. As I was
saying.
Saving the one noble soul who has touched me in the way no other
could. For
without him, I should wither..."
Aeka froze, her eyes becoming as wide as saucers. Ryouko matched
her as her
eyes bugged out as well.
"You mean," Ryouko began.
"We've finally found you, Lord Tenchi." Aeka began to cry as she
found
herself before Tenchi once again. "You have no idea what we went
through to
rescue you from Mihoshi."
"Rescue?" Tenchi and Mihoshi said together as they stared at Aeka,
then at
each other quizzically.
"Yeah," Ryouko said as she began to hover in mid-air. "We know she
nabbed
you when everyone else was looking the other way. And we took it
upon
ourselves to rescue you from her devious, I mean, witless,
clutches. Say,
you're not quite as big as I thought you'd be."
*FACE-FAULT!!!*
The Ladies' Fan Service, right? :)
Aeka looked at Ryouko curiously, then realized what she was
referring to.
"Oh, I don't know. I never imagined Lord Tenchi would be all that
big. But
as Mother has always said, it's the measure of a man's heart that
matters,
not the size of his..." Aeka's eyes widened. "Lord Tenchi, why are
you and
Mihoshi naked?"
BING!!!
Ryouko didn't bother asking as she easily put two and two
together. Veins
began popping out on her forehead, making a rather interesting
maplike
map-like
design. "YOU ROTTEN JERKS!" An energy sword formed in her hand as
her eyes
turned blood red. She floated towards Tenchi. "So, you two have
been doing
the horizontal mambo while leaving me out in the cold!"
With a silly grin on his face, Tenchi nods up and down, repeatedly.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh... wait. What's a horizontal mambo?"
Group face-fault.
She waved the sword
menacingly as she flew toward Tenchi, focusing her attention on
him. She
stopped when she was no more than two feet away. "I bet you think
I'm going
to cut you in half for toying with my heart then discarding me
like a piece
of useless garbage! Well, guess what!" She held the sword high
above her
head.
"You're wrong." And with that the sword disappeared and she fell
to the
ground, crying. Ryouko sobbed, "I'm better than that. If you wanna
choose
Mihoshi over me, then that's all there is to it. I can handle
that. I'm a
big girl. I won't kill you or anything. I'll be just like I am
now, except
for destroying any Galaxy Police ships that tick me off from now
on."
Heh.
"And I shall bow out gracefully as well," Aeka sobbed. "I won't
have either
of you branded traitors to the Empire or executed or any such
thing,
because I'm a true princess, and I'm better than that too." As
Aeka
finished her pronouncement, she noted one other interesting fact.
"Is it
just me, or is everyone else on this beach naked too?"
TING!
Ryouko stopped crying and looked at the crowd that had gathered
around
them. "You know, I think you're right. That must mean--"
"It's a nudists
nudist's or just say "It's a nude beach," ...
beach," Tenchi finished for her.
"Oh."
"Oh,"
Ryouko said as her and Aeka's tears dried up instantly. Ryouko
looked
at Tenchi, gained a sinister gleam in her eyes, then phased out of
her
outfit. "I guess I'll just blend in with the rest of the
environment," she
said as she flew up to Tenchi and wrapped her arms around him. She
was
giving him a smile that showed off her fangs when she felt someone
pinch
one of the hands curled around Tenchi's back. Ryouko gave a yelp
and
released him.
"Sorry, I still need to put lotion on Tenchi," Mihoshi said.
Ryouko directed a scowl at Mihoshi, but her attention was diverted
when
Aeka gasped, "This is not fair! I cannot be nude in public. I am
of royal
blood. To be in naught but my own regal flesh before the masses is
unacceptable. It would be scandalous. It would be improper. It
would be-"
"Aeka! What are you doing here?"
Aeka's jaw dropped until it nearly hit the ground. "MOTHER!"
I'm running out of sound FX, DB. :)
All eyes turned to see that it was indeed Misaki who had spoken.
And that
she was in the same state as everyone but Aeka.
BIG FAN SERVICE ALERT!!!
Misaki was overwhelmed. "You should have let me know you were
coming. I'd
have been happy to greet you when you arrived. I've missed you all
so much.
Come here, Ryouko."
Before Ryouko could do anything she found herself torn away from T
enchi and
given a Misaki-sized hug, which in her unclothed state, meant
having one's
face buried in an impressive set of cleavage.
*_*
"Let me go! People will think I'm a lezzie!"" Ryouko squirmed
futily in
Misaki's grasp.
"OOOH-HO-HO-HOOO!!! Don't worry, monster woman. They already think
that!"
"Mother!" Aeka gasped in shock. "You cannot do this. There will be
a
scandal."
"Now, now." Misaki released her hold on Ryouko and waved
dismissively
towards her older daughter. "I might not be the young lass I was a
nine
hundred years ago, but I think I'm still good-looking enough to
get by
without anyone cringing back in fear. Look, no sag." She handled
her
breasts briefly to demonstrate to her oldest daughter.
...just a tiny bit more FAN SERVICE!!!
:P
"THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT!" Aeka roared.
"You need to relax, Aeka. You could learn something from Ryouko."
Misaki
turned to the next person in line. "Hello, Tenchi." And proceeded
to greet
him in her own unique fashion.
"I can't breathe," Tenchi gasped, thinking he preferred it when he
had been
buried in Mihoshi's cleavage.
"I'm beginnin' ta worry 'bout ya, laddie!"
Mihoshi tapped Misaki on the shoulder. "Excuse me, but I still
haven't
lotioned Tenchi up."
O_o
Misaki looked up. "Oh, I didn't mean to leave you out, Mihoshi."
The
Empress made up for her oversight by hugging Mihoshi as well.
There was no
telling how long the embrace would have gone, for Misaki caught
sight of
the last member of the party at last.
"Little Ryo-Ohki!" Misaki abandoned Mihoshi and went over to the
happily
'Miya'ing creature, who turned into her humanoid form and allowed
herself
to be embraced by the Empress as well.
You mean she didn't slam Mihoshi face-first into a nearby wall?! Or
at least up to her waist in the sand?! Hmmm, now *there's* a
picture. :)
Tenchi sighed. Aeka appeared ready to faint from the whole
situation as she
continued to insist that it wasn't proper for a member of the
royal family
to appear naked before the public. Ryouko's full concentration was
on
making sure to stay well out of Misaki's reach. It appeared the
vacation
Tenchi had been looking forward to had come to end and the one he
was going
to get was just beginning. He gave an apologetic look towards
Mihoshi.
Mihoshi just smiled. "Oh well, vacationing with friends can be fun
too."
At least she wasn't depressed, Tenchi thought. That kind of
acceptance
deserved some kind of reward. "Come on, let's see if we can get a
minute
alone and you can lotion me up."
And as they walked away, Tenchi had to wonder if the path he had
seemed to
end up pointing towards was the one he was going to journey to the
end
with.
Probably so.
Very nice, DB. I look forward to seeing more stuff come out of your
head. :)
Ja ne!
