Cloudy Days, Stormy Nights
By KattChuan703

Notes, disclaimer and all that shat: (yes, shat) This is pretty much my first Tenchi Muyo fic, but not my first fic along. (And just so ya know, I'll be breaking one little rule: Now the weather at the Masaki household is bleak and dreary and rainy for once in a million fanfics) and Tenchi belongs to AIC and Pioneer. This fic belongs to me, so, here are the rules: Do NOT alter this in any way unless it's being MySTed and there may be some scenes you wanna delete, that's fine. (Remember, the rule applies ONLY if MySTed) Do NOT post this up on another page to claim for your own, you can and WILL be sued, IS THAT CLEAR? Enjoy Rinpu Air's flight movie. When the movie is over, please return your tray tables to a full, upright position, and thank you for flying.

Enjoy the new theme song I created for this series: Tenchi Rhapsody! (The name may be a bit odd, but live with it, ok?)

"Starstruck"

(Slow, romantic dance song starts up)
I look into the sky
With the moon shining on my face
I long more and more
For your warm, secure embrace
And everywhere I go
Your voice seems to follow
When will
I ever
Let go?
(Chorus, you know the dramatic drumbeats are included)
It's shining
Burning
In the stars above
Our destiny
It's a prophecy of love
But it can only come true
When again I meet you
(Verse 2)
Your voice says it's okay…
(It's okay)
We'll meet again someday
And when our paths again will cross
All regrets of losing you
Will be lost
(Chorus 2)
Even though we'll meet again
Even though the sun is now shining
On my heart
Why does it still feel like rain
We're storm clouds drifting farther apa~rt
Please tell me what to do
I'm lost without you
Please find a way back in my arms
(song ends)

Cloudy Days, Stormy Nights
Chapter 1- No Need For Rainfall
*

Aeka stared out glumly as the rain fell around the Masaki household.

"Oh, it's been raining for, what, forever?" The older princess of Jurai grumbled, not only because of the rain but because of the presence of someone else in the room. She looked out of the corner of her eyes and saw a flash of silvery-white under the lighting of the living room. "As if the rain isn't bad enough."

"Well, fine! I'll just go upstairs and wake *Tenchi* up, then." The girl's back stiffened as she stood up to face Ryoko.

"No, I shall wake up Sir Tenchi," she replied to... no one, as Ryoko had already headed upstairs.

*

"Three... two... one!" Ryoko flung the door open and glomped onto Tenchi's sleeping form. "Tenchiiiii," she whispered in the voice she mainly used when trying to seduce him. His brown eyes opened slowly to find Ryoko's nostrils in his face.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He jumped up and clung to the ceiling. "MONSTEEER!" Ryoko glared at him.

"Get down here right now!" She said, pulling him down by his pigtail.

'I've seen some scary shit before but...' Tenchi shook the thought off as he landed onto his bed.

*

"Umm... Kiyone, if the walls are burning, what should I do?" Mihoshi asked, absentmindedly trying to scrape pancake batter off the wall. Kiyone let out a loud screech.

"THE KITCHEN'S ON FIRE?!" Mihoshi shrugged.

"Oh, I guess." The green-haired Galaxy Police officer smacked her forehead with her hand and ground her teeth.

"Mihoshi... no... BAKA!" The blonde girl finally succeeded at something- getting that damned pancake batter off the wall. The next issue was how to remove batter stains from Kiyone's shirt as soon as she scraped it off THERE.

"FORGET THE BATTER AND DOUSE THE FRIGGIN FIRE!" Kiyone yelled. Mihoshi grabbed the bucket of what she thought was water- which was actually kerosene- and threw it on the wall.

*FWOOSH!*

*

"Lunch is ready everyone!" Sasami called, sweeping her blue pigtails over her shoulders and sitting down at the table. Ryo-ohki let out a small "Miya!" and literally buried herself under he carrots that were set in the middle of the table.

"Ryo-ohki? Hmm. Wonder where she went?" There was a knock at the front door. "I'll get it!"

She opened the door to find Kiyone and Mihoshi standing there, Kiyone shooting dirty looks in Mihoshi's direction.

"Oh, hi Miss Kiyone! Hi, Miss Mihoshi!" Kiyone turned to yell at Sasami, whose face looked oddly like Mihoshi's for a brief second, then her facial expression softened.

"Hey. Could we stay here for a few days?" Her smile turned to a glare as she faced Mihoshi. "Mihoshi-" she pointed her index finger at the blonde, "-burned down nearly the whole apartment."

"Sorry Kiyone. I thought it was water," Mihoshi replied uncertainly. Her eyes darted around the house, and, with seemingly inhuman vision, saw the food on the table some yards away. "WOW! Lunch!" She jumped an incredible distance into the table, crying "FOOOOOOOOOOD!" with such a high squeal Mariah Carey would be put to shame.

*THWACK!*

"Owwwwwww!" Ryoko complained, rubbing the newly formed bruise on her forehead. Aeka did so to her own bruise, as a result of the gourmet derby- which involved a race between Aeka and Ryoko to see who could get to the table faster. It was a three-way tie when a new contestant entered. Mihoshi, oblivious to her headache, wolfed down a bowl of ramen and sipped a cup of tea.

"MIHOSHIIIIIIIIII!" The green-haired Galaxy Police officer yelled. Mihoshi's head turned all the way around on her neck- wait, that was The Exorcist.' Mihoshi turned around. "You're being EXTREMELY rude!" The golden-haired girl's eyes trembled. 'Oh no... She's not gonna-'

"WAAAAAAAAH! I'm sorry, Kiyone! I'm being rude aren't I? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Everyone, either with bleeding ears, or ears that were on their way to that status, tried to stuff Mihoshi's mouth so she would shut the hell up. Ryoko finally succeeded by using a large roast turkey.

"Mmphezzle! " The others did the classic, ever-so-popular anime sighs, complete with sweatdrops and facevaults.

*

"So… I have found you." The screen zoomed in on the all-too-familiar face. "If it's the last thing I do, I'll have you dead." The person's cloak draped over it's face, obscuring the features from view. It went over to the control panels and began typing out something.

"Subject Code Number 49103, search 503, type HAZ-472, coordinates G-1.5, B-47. Head for planet Earth."

*

Ryoko sighed in bliss as she downed her sake in one huge gulped. Of course, this being 10 whole bottles she had drank in that time total, needless to say, she was plastered.

"Tenshi, gimme another shock, willya?" She asked, leaning towards Aeka, her vision blurred, and her speech slurred, and small drunken giggles escaping her mouth. The Princess of Jurai, whom was also inebriated, collapsed in fits of laughter from a seemingly obscure joke.

"Bring more BOOZE!" Aeka bellowed, holding her arms high above her head and swaying from side to side in an intoxicated dance, which proved to be very un-princess-like for someone normally as regal as her.

"Bring the booshe!" Ryoko shouted in agreement. Had they known everyone else had gone out grocery shopping, they would've realized they were to be without their precious sake for a while until they got up and got it theirselves.

"Ryoko, there's shomethin I wanna say to you… you have some nerve tryin to shteal my Billciffergump!" This riotous (if not stupid) word caused the two to double over in laughter.

"Well, I have somethin ta shay to ya too, Washuuuu! Ya got COOTIES!"

"Cooooooties.....Heheheheheheh!" Aeka held her stomach as if to keep the giggles down after drawing out the childish word. Ryoko punched the cushions of the couch, biting down heaps of laughter.

"Now Aeka, gimme the YAMALLOW RECIPE!" The white-haired girl roared. "You have it I know! I may have had a shiek or two, but I'm think as drunk as I not am I!"

"Yamallow? NEVER! My Great-Uncle Polpoit gave it to meeeeeemiredo!" It was evident: They were both gonna have one hell of a hangover. The laughter rang out through the rainy area around them.

*

"Heheheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeee I am the genius Wash You! No, wait that didn't-"

*Thud.*

Washuu unsteadily pulled herself up from the floor.

"Washy washy washyyeyeyeyeyeyeye!" Kiyone babbled on with her incoherent dribble. Mihoshi sipped her cup of sake contentedly.

"I don't know why I feel sober. I've had ten or more cups. Must be that I've developed anti-intoxication or something over these years," the blonde girl stated.

"Bibbedy bobbidy boobs! Did I say boobs? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBIBIBIBIBIEBOBBYBOOOOOOOOBS!" Kiyone screeched. Washuu grabbed a banana and pretended to stick it in her crotch.

"Hey, Kiyone!" She slurred, moving her hips back and forth. Kiyone looked towards the currently dish-eyed, self-proclaimed genius scientist and collapsed in hoarse giggles. "I'm getting a shrewdivver!"

Humm…" Mihoshi sighed. "I don't know about some people. Some are just born weird, others fight to be that way. One fucked-up world, huh Ryo-ohki?" Mihoshi asked. Ryo-ohki gave a small "Miyah!" and continued lapping up her green tea. Beside her, the other girls giggled idiotically. Aeka and Ryoko were having a hair-pulling contest, Kiyone was screeching out some song about genitilia, and Washuu was making out with a rubber ducky.

"Oh, God ducky, yeah, right in my-" Washuu was cut off when Aeka flailed her arms around wildly, accidentally socking Washuu in the mouth. "Mmphezzle!"

*

Aeka woke up next to Ryoko, and for some reasons we will not dicuss, naked.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" She screeched out, jumping ten feet high and drawing a stare from Sasami, who was sipping what she THOUGHT was green tea.

"No Sasami, don't drink the-"

*BEEEEEEEEELCH!*

"Well, too late now I guess." A night of passion with Ryoko and a morning of listening to a blitzed Sasami- what a thrill.

"HeheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"Oi." The infamous, yet sexy and just so loveable space pirate woke up and saw what one doesn't want to see first thing when they wake up- an ass in their face.

"AAAAAAH!" Ryoko aahed.

"Wahoooo!" Sasami wahooed.

"Eeeeeeeeeek!" Aeka eeked when she saw Ryoko nude and cracking her knuckles.

"Princess, I dunno WHAT you did to me last night, but as soon as I get dressed, there will be hell."

"You must not say that, Ryoko- *BARF!*" a stream of vomit shot out of her open mouth, into… Mihoshi's open mouth.

"Used waffles, YUM!" Mihoshi cheered, licking her lips and swallowing the 'lovely breakfast'.

"URK! I think I may be sick now," Ryoko grumbled, swaying from side to side, holding her mouth shut.

*

The day was always hell on Kiyone. And with that huge hangover she was currently going through, it wasn't exactly a lot more pleasant, except it was a good excuse for staying in bed.

"Not surprised Mihoshi didn't complain about a headache. She seems almost impervious to pain." Looking around and seeing unfamiliar surroundings, she came to a conclusion.

"We're definitely not in the Miho-Kiyo apartment anymore, Toto." Looking to her side, she saw Tenchi sleeping peacefully, and, she noticed, without a shirt.

"It's today and things are goin my way!" She sang out cheerfully as a small trickle of blood trailed from her nose. Tenchi rolled over onto his side. The blood flow increased slightly, and she felt a warmth creep over her face.

"Pervert," Washuu called from behind her.

"Shhhhh!"

"Geez, you're only staring at his butt, not like it'll run off if we make a sound."

**

The scanner wandered over the two people.

"Them?!" The figure gasped. "THEY hold the 'power?'"

"That is affirmative, Mistress," the computer answered.

"Washuu Hakubi and Mihoshi Kuramitsu. Very unusual, giving people like these two 'the power.'" She pressed her palm to the screen of the castle-ship and concentrated her energy into landing at the exact coordinates.

*

Tenchi sighed and leaned back against the cool tile wall of the bathroom as the water washed over him.

'The shower is much more relaxing,' he thought. Of course, it meant that anyone who had put a hidden camera in there (namely Kiyone, Aeka and Ryoko) had a nice view from whichever angle. Of course, this hadn't gone without someone stealing their ideas- Noboyuki had installed cameras in the girl's bath. This being unimportant, the story continued.

*

Kiyone woke up to a loud crashing sound outside the Masaki household. Strangely, no one else seemed to have heard it. Sneaking outside, she saw a castle covered by mist in the distance.

"What the hell?" She whispered, pushing a lock of teal hair back over her shoulder. The stone structure emitted a cold blue glow, only adding more fear to its already dark appearance. The atmosphere suddenly got to Kiyone and, curious, she wandered towards what she had been staring at. As soon as she got a few feet away from the castle, she was knocked back to where she started from.

"Force field, huh? I've got to wake the others up and tell them about this," she told herself, rubbing her arm.

**

Ryoko shifted onto her side, propping herself up on her elbow.

"Kagoto's gone, the bitch is back, and so are Kiyone, Sasami and 'El Hazard.' This setup is just PERFECT for something to go wrong." Her mind flashed back to the memory of meeting Tenchi again while he was on his way to school. The way the cherry blossoms floated around them just made the scene… perfect. A serene setting.

"Miya."

"Yeah. I guess you're right. But I still cherish those memories. I even cherish the thrill I got out of running from Nagi. It was just… fun. Those days are gone now, though." Her gaze shifted downwards. "Why can't we have adventures like we used to? I miss the action and the romantic feeling, y'know?"

"Miyaaaaaaa."

"Ken-ohki? Don't worry. Nagi's probably still on my trail, and by my guess, she's tracked me here. And hey, since everyone's been back together, we haven't given the karaoke machine enough attention, have we?" Ryo-ohki managed to decipher the meaning behind the mischevious smile on Ryoko's face.

"Miya!" The cabbit exclaimed happily.

"Yes, I'll even let Aeka use it."

**

"WHAT?" Washuu and Aeka yelled in unison after they saw the strange building.

"I don't know. Guys… you know the saying here we go again?'

"Here we go again," The three girls muttered in unison.

**

The group of people stared at the castle.

"Hmm… It seems that… our troubles aren't over," Yosho said, deep in thought.

"They AREN'T?! WaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAH! Kiyone, I'm SCAAAAAARED!"

"Come on, cutie, let old Noboyuki calm you down," the man said, grabbing Mihoshi's hand and rubbing it.

*SLAP!*

"ECCHI!" Mihoshi then turned back to Kiyone and began whining anew.

"I've got this… familiar feeling. It probably sounds silly, but it's like I know this place," Ryoko stated. Washuu and Aeka nodded.

"I feel it too… but… No, that's dumb." Aeka disregarded her thoughts. Washuu, meanwhile, was typing something up on her holographic computer. A few minutes later, she began a new search.

"Enter password… Hmm… M I K A Z A M I." The screen showed a message reading, "Password unconfirmed, please try again." The self-proclaimed genius scientist's eyes gleamed. "Now I know! This is Mikazami's program, so it'd have to be something else associated with her. Lemme try this one. M E G A M I - S A M A."

"Weclome, Sorceress Mikazami," An electronic voice answered.

"Got it! Rikashi, inform me of my targets and repeat mission objective." She typed up a command and hit "Confirm."

"Yes Mikazami. Your targets- Washuu Hakubi and Mihoshi Kuramitsu. They hold the objects which you see, the 'rings.' You vowed to get the 'rings' from them and destroy them and their allies. That is all. Have a good day."

"WAIT! How do I break the force field around my castle?"

"Chant the words "Hikaru Megami-sama, onii kami." Washuu laughed maniacally. Good thing Mikazami's computer was such a straight arrow.

To Be Continued…

PREVIEW OF NEXT EPISODE.

Aeka: What am i doing with YOU?

Ryoko: And what's Nagi doing here?
