Another Inevitability A Tenchi-Muyo! fanfic by Keiichi Masaki (keiichi_dono@hotmail.com , keiichi_dono@altavista.net ) Tenchi and company are the property of Pioneer and AIC. Note: this is the sequel to one of my earlier fanfics, Inevitabilities, which depicted what I believe may be Tenchi's only real choice. Sit back and enjoy! The Wedding Night Tenchi stretched out on the bed. Ah, this is great! This bed is bigger than my whole room back on Earth! Wonder where the girls are.... The door slid open, and Tenchi's question was answered. His six wives stepped into the room, wide and feline smiles on their faces. Sasami--I mean Tsunami, thought Tenchi--was dressed as Pretty Sammy, her outfit sized to fit her body, but very figure enhancing and skimpy nonetheless. Mihoshi and Kiyone were dressed in short-skirted and tight-bloused GP uniforms. the hemlines of the skirts hiked up enough to show off the skimpy panties underneath (white lace string bikini for Mihoshi; silk G-string for Kiyone--the color matched her....hair). Washu was dressed once again as a nurse. Funny, though; it wasn't nearly as frightening this time. Ayeka was dressed in her oujo-sama outfit, gently slapping the whip into her hands rhythmically. Ryoko was wearing a loose-fitting robe, her breasts all but spilling out into the open. As one, still smiling their feline smile, the six women advanced on Tenchi. Tenchi returned their smile. Three Months Later "....and revenues throughout Kirika sector are up 15% this month," reported the finance minister. "The outer colonies in that region, though, are still petitioning for more autonomy." Tenchi nodded. "Sounds reasonable enough. Send one of the high-priority couriers to the sector capital to set up a meeting within the month. I'll head up the negotiations myself." "Very good, Lord Tenchi." answered the finance minister. "Next item on the agenda, the--" The door to the outer chamber opened, and one of the attendants stuck her head in. "Lord Tenchi, your wife Lady Kiyone wishes to speak with you." "Hmm?" Tenchi's attention was immediately veered off-topic. "Err, ladies and gentlemen, if you'll excuse me...." "Of course, Tenchi," said Funaho. Smiling, Tenchi stepped into the antechamber to find Kiyone, dressed in a royal kimono with GP decorations on the left breast of the attached cape, waiting for him. He smiled and took her in his arms, kissing her lightly on the lips. "You wanted to see me, my love?" Kiyone was smiling shyly. "Tenchi, darling, I have wonderful news. I'm pregnant!" "You are?" Tenchi picked Kiyone up and swung her around in the air, a rather common sight. "Kiyo-chan, that's wonderful!" "Thank you," she said, blushing. "I need to take care of something right now, but Mihoshi wants to speak to you. I'll see you later, love." She gave Tenchi a light peck on the cheek and excused herself, whistling happily. Mihoshi, wearing attire similar to Kiyone's, entered the room, an equally shy-but-happy smile on her face. Tenchi hugged Mihoshi. "Hi, Miho-chan. Kiyone said there was something you wanted to tell me?" Mihoshi nodded eagerly, then adopted a thoughtful pose. "Now, what was it again....oh, yeah!" She grinned at Tenchi. "Tenchi, I'm pregnant!" "You too?" Tenchi hugged Mihoshi even tighter. "That's wonderful news, Mihoshi! Oh, did you know that Kiyone's pregnant too?" Mihoshi nodded. "Yeah, I knew that! Oh, Tsunami wants to speak to you too. See you later, Tenchi!" She skipped off, and Tsunami, her own face flush with excitement, walked into the room. Giggling in a very Sasami-ish way, she hugged Tenchi. "Tenchi, I'm gonna have your baby!" "Huh?" Now Tenchi was starting to have a sneaking suspicion what was waiting behind Tsunami. Still, he was happy for his wife. "You are? That's great, my cute little wave," he gushed, relaxing as he heard her giggle at his nickname for her. "Incidentally," he asked as he kissed her on the forehead, "does anyone else want to see me?" "Well," answered Tsunami, "Ayeka wants to speak to you, and then Washu, and then Ryoko. I think that's it. Why?" Tenchi started sweatdropping. "No reason...." Seven Months Later Tenchi looked up as he heard the multiple cries of babies from the delivery room. By consensus of his wives, he had been forced to wait in the antechamber, so that he wouldn't give more attention to one of the wives than the others. The door slid open--a very wide door, so that all the nurses could fit through at the same time. Said nurses stepped through the door, each of them carrying a baby. No. Make that -two- babies apiece. Tenchi's eyes widened. "T..two apiece?" The head nurse nodded. "That's right, Lord Tenchi. Two apie--Lord Tenchi? Lord Tenchi?" The Emperor of Jurai was passed out on the floor. Five Years Later "Daddy, Daddy!" Little Yoshimi ran up and tackled her father, followed by little Achika, and little Koei.... Tenchi laughed as he saw all twelve of his daughters clustering around him. "Hi, girls! Who wants the first piggy-back ride?" "I do! I do!" As Tenchi tried to discern which of his daughters had yelled that, his wives sat in the shade, nibbling on their lunches. Kiyone watched her husband playing with their daughters. "He makes a good father, doesn't he?" Tsunami smiled and nodded. "He does indeed." "I wonder....." Ayeka smiled mischievously. " I wonder if we should try to see how he handles having sons." Ryoko burst out laughing. "Are you serious, Ayeka...." Her voice trailed off as she thought about it. "On second thought, that sounds like a good idea...." As if sensing this, Tenchi gently untangled himself from his daughters. "Sweeties, I'll be right back." He took off running for the door into the palace, thinking, I knew I shoulda scheduled that vasectomy years ago.... END And that, dear readers, is that. If any of you can write a sequel to this, I would be most impressed. Please C&C me, this is a labor of love but it helps to know that people actually read my stuff.
