Washuu answered Tenchi as she waved a small wand over Kiyone's
body and started typing into her holographic laptop. "Well,
Tenchi-dono, the odds were actually quite good, given that it's
Kiyone. I guess you weren't paying attention to that part of my
lecture. Unlike Earth or Juraian females, females from Kiyone's
planet are permanently fertile. This is why her planet's culture
is so career-oriented; it's an attempt to keep the birth rate
down. Kiyone has a roughly eighty percent chance of pregancy from
any act of unprotected sex, at any time."
And us Terran types think WE'VE got population problems? ^_^
Kiyone sat down on the sofa, head in her hands.
Washuu remarked, "No trace of any birth control measures in your
system. Do you have a sample of these pills handy?"
Silently Kiyone produced a small bottle and handed it over to
Washuu.
"Oopsie..." Mihoshi murmured, her gaze fixed on the bottle.
Sudden sinking feeling...
After analyzing the contents, Washuu smirked. "I'll give you one
guess, Kiyone. The pills in your bottle are not what they're
supposed to be. Also, the chemical formula for the residue on the
sides of the bottle happens to be a nearly irresistable sweet to
people from one particular planet."
Kiyone turned to glare at Mihoshi. Aeka started giggling; Ryouko
cackled outright.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!
"Let's ALL take them off," said Teruzi. "And then Youshou's,
as soon as the slime has dissolved."
The suggestion met with universal approval.
Youshou started to grow nervous.
mweh. heh. heh.
The daughter in question, a spiky-red-haired, rubber-limbed urchin
wearing a loose t-shirt and stretch shorts, crouched and examined
Tenchi closely, almost nose-to-nose.
"Ooo-OOOO-oooh. A Prince."
*blinkblink*
"Hi! My name is Sasami! What's yours?" Sasami smiled and bowed.
The newcomer capered around Sasami on all fours, peering closely
at her from odd angles. "Ooo-OOOO-oooh. The avatar of Tsunami."
...
"I wonder if this is what Washuu was like at that age," said Aeka,
laughing in a lady-like fashion with a hand to her mouth. Ryouko
guffawed.
Tenchi stood and glared at Yume. "You can't just beam in here
and give me another fiancee like this!"
"Why not?" replied Yume coolly. "Everyone else is."
Ryou-oh-ki scampered in and leaped to Sasami's shoulder. The
new girl blinked. "OooooOOOOOH! Furry spaceship!" She then
produced a two-handed, computerized aircraft steering device from
somewhere. Ryou-oh-ki squealed in dismay when she found herself
levitating off Sasami's shoulder, then zooming about the room in
circles, accompanied by sound effects generated by the new
red-haired waif as she steered. "Vrrrrr-OOOOOOMM!
Bah-bah-bah-bah vrrrooOOOOOOOOM!"
*headbangs* ED!! ED!! ED!! ED!! ED!! ED!! ED!!
"Hmmm. I didn't think it was possible to hack into Ryou-oh-ki so
quickly." Washuu stared at the girl dubiously. "And I don't
think I was ever quite like THAT."
"No! My little Ryou-chan! Stop doing that to her!" cried Sasami,
without visible effect on the newcomer's actions.
Ummm... What happens if Ed tries to hack Tsunami-the-Spaceship?
"I think you're all being a bit hasty here..." Washuu got out
before the whole group vanished.
"Oh, excrement."
Very Washu.
- - - - - - - - - -
Outside, the young-looking Youshou vainly tried to escape the
attentions of the remaining young ladies. Hikaru, Fuu, and Umi
jumped into the lake and helped remove green goop-covered
clothing.
>From the shore, Asuka and Rei looked on. "Prince Youshou looks
like a REAL man," Asuka sighed. "Not one of these boring boys.
What do you think, Wonder Girl?"
"If I am ordered to marry him, I will do it." After a pause, Rei
gave a tentative smile. "I hope I am."
Ahh... Rei _does_ have some opinions... ^_^
"You had better not! In case you've forgotten, your Office and
mine are rival agencies." Ramia rubbed her hands together in
glee. "And you are already in violation of Regulation
IV-42-GSXY-39 subparagraph A. Accordingly, I am now permitted to
assign my brother and sister to intrude on the affairs of you and
your sisters' Office. Rumia, Alielle: follow them!"
!!!!
...
So, when does Ifurita join the crew?
Rumia, with an eye on Misao, nodded approval. Alielle, glancing
back and forth between Aeka, Ryouko, and Mihoshi, squealed in joy.
- - - - - - - - - -
Back on earth, Washuu sat down, hard, and groaned. "Oh, double-
damn. Fecal matter. Reproductive activities. Tokimi isn't
going to like this..."
LOL!
Yume continued to smirk. "And now I wonder now just HOW higher-
dimensional immortal female entities ever manage to become
pregnant?"
She shouldn't repeat 'now' like that.
Tenchi turned towards the group, sudden alarm in his eyes.
Tokimi tapped one foot and turned, glaring, to face the outline of
Washuu.
...which suddenly animated itself, turned to the group, smiled
sheepishly, and shrugged. "Okay, okay, so now you know. Sue me."
*snarf*
owwwwww
Tokimi turned back to Tenchi and gave her verdict. "Thank you
for attending me, my husband-to-be. You are developing nicely."
- - - - - - - - - -
Later, back on Earth, Ramia gingerly approached the shy Misao and
tried to start up a conversation, digging one of his toes into the
ground. Misao stood, holding her hands together in front of
herself and looking at Ramia's face.
Awwwwww....
Alielle scampered back and forth from Mihoshi to Aeka to Ryouko
to Kiyone.
Sasami chased after Yume's daughter Ed, trying to get her to
stop flying Ryou-oh-ki in circles. Ryou-oh-ki herself continued
to 'myeow' in alarm.
Heheheh.
"Well, Tenchi," said Kiyone, approaching him and taking one arm,
"JNN says you're officially down to nine fiancees now: the six
of us, plus Tokimi, Yuzuha, and the pipsqueak. Everybody else
either fled or attached themselves to Youshou."
"About time Grandpa had to deal with some of this," Tenchi
replied.
Amen!
"I agree," added Aeka. "Brother Youshou should carry his share
of the burden."
Ryouko leaned one elbow on Aeka's shoulder and smirked. "And, of
course, the reduction in competition for Tenchi is merely
incidental."
"OOOHH!" Alielle squealed again. "You two are like that, are
you?"
Nate: *nodding* Yeah, they just don't want to admit it.
Aeka and Ryouko immediately backed away from each other,
red-faced and waving, and spluttered indignant denials.
Nate: *smug* See?
"I'm sure going to like it here!" Alielle announced cheerily,
then turned to Tenchi and impishly added, "So consider it ten!"
Hikaru, Fuu, and Umi were created by CLAMP;
Rei and Asuka are owned by Gainax;
Teruzi (Telzey Amberdon) created by James H. Schmitz;
Menori (Menolly) created by Anne McCaffrey.
Yume is a rival of Washuu's from the "No Need for Tenchi" manga;
her daughter, Radical Edward, is from "Cowboy Bebop" (which
I _highly_ recommend, for those who don't know it).
Amen!
Ramia and Rumia are from Pretty Sammy;
Alielle from El Hazard.
Be well, and good job!
