A/N:
This is a whatif story. In then Tenchi manga vol 9. Ryoko meets a Jurian that looks quite a lot like Tenchi, except older (and better looking…. Long hair yummy), he lives on a remote planet all by himself with a nameless tree. Ryoko was presented with a choice… Tenchi or Ibara, she chose Tenchi (… duh) but in this story, the whatif is “What if didn’t choose Tenchi Masaki?” How would it change her? What would happen to the group? How would Tenchi feel? Would Ayeka still want Tenchi so much, or was their fight over Tenchi just so they could compete? Will Ryoko finally find happiness in the arms of a man that actually appreciates her?
Ryoko moved away from the nameless tree, understanding, understanding that her memories of 800 years ago were not memories of the man that stood looking down at her, but images of the future, of Tenchi Masaki. Tenchi, to whom she had devoted her life to, whom she had completely changed for, who she would happily die for, who didn’t really love her back… and suddenly she made a realization. Tenchi would never love her back. He would always have someone else to love, the Tree had shown her what her life could have been, but the tree didn’t know about Ayeka, or Washu, or Mioshi, or any of them. The tree was wrong to show her that she might be happy with Tenchi.
And so, she looked again at the two simular faces, one young, intelligent, concerned, niave, and one older, stronger, loving… Loving. She’d never had anyone look at her with that expression, no matter how many times she’d tried to imagine it on Tenchi’s face, it didn’t seem to fit so naturally as it did on Ibara’s. Tenchi didn’t need her and never ever would, Ibara did, Ibara wanted her because she was Ryoko… Tenchi didn’t want her at all.
As she pushed herself up Ryoko smiled weakly and rubbed the back of her head. She looked around at her friends, and then to Ayeka, who had been her rival since her arrival on Earth, she smiled sadly. As much as she hated her sometimes, Ayeka did make a good rival for screaming matches. Mioshi… ditzy, clumsy Mioshi……. Sasami-chan was looking rather worried, and antsy as if she wanted to help… she wondered what life would be like without them.
“Ryoko” a masculine voice said from beside her, she turned to face it and her heart leapt into her throat.
“Are you okay?” asked a younger voice… Tenchi.
She nodded, then stared at the old tree “It was wrong…” she whispered quietly
“Huh?”
“The tree, it didn’t know anything about you..” she said looking around at the her unlikely group of friends.
“Tenchi…” she said apprehensively as Tenchi offered her a hand up, she took it and smiled. Then leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek softly, before he had a chance to react. Ayeka seemed peeved, as always, before she saw the expression on my face.
“Ryoko! You ill-mannered-“
The furious princess was cut off, “I hope you can be happy Ayeka… you win” Ryoko said and turned to Ibara… leaving Ayeka wish her eyes popping out of their sockets.
“What-do-you-mean?”
“You-win-Ten-chi”, said the space pirate over her shoulder. Then looked up at the warrior for whom she’d left Tenchi. She’d left Tenchi… it was an odd concept. And not one she was able to contemplate for very long because before she knew what was happening and ecstatic Ibara had lifted her easily up of the ground and swung her around like she was nothing more than a rag doll. To her surprise she felt herself laughing, he was happy… and it made her happy. He set her down on the ground and then she did something she never expected herself to do. She reached up and pulled Ibara into a passionate kiss, she’d never really kissed Tenchi, not the way she was kissing Ibara, he’d never have let her.
By the time they released each other they were both out of breath and the rest of the crew were staring with eyes as wide as saucers. Ayeka’s hand was over Sasami’s eyes… and the high and mighty princess herself was about as red as a tomato, and a little bit less-so than Tenchi himself. Washu had gone from the shock staged and was now looking extremely smug… for reasons unknown to Ryoko and Mioshi… Mioshi was looking and a pretty butterfly.
After a long time, a tiny voice piped up “So… are you gonna stay here Ryoko-san?”, everyone was startled by the sudden noise, they’d all just been staring at one another.
Ryoko chanced a glance up at the tall warrior behind her, he shrugged a little bit and put a strong hand on her shoulder… it was her decision. She chewed her lower a lip a little bit apprehensively. “Hn.. I guess… for now… we have a lot to talk about.” She glanced back at him again, just making sure he was still there. “Yeah, a lot to talk about.”
Tenchi was still blinking, she guessed that maybe the kiss was a little much. But as the hand on her shoulder tightened a bit she remembered that expression she saw when she first woke up. Love. And no amount of shock Tenchi ever went through would make him love her.
“You should take Ryo-ohki, Ibara has a ship… don’t you?” She looked back
“Yes, I do… its just-“
“Good, well… umm… thanks for everything guys…” Ryoko said awkwardly, scratching the back of her head and laughing nervously.
Just then Washu came marching up and started poking and prodding at Ibara, who in turn became extremely distressed, “Umm… help?” he said “Miss… umm what are you doing?”
“Examining”
“Why?”
“Well Ryoko IS my daughter and I thing it prudent that I examine you! To make sure you’re good enough for her”, adding an evil scientist laugh for good measure.
Ryoko slammed the heel of her hand into her forehead, the rest of the crew fell over in perfect unison.
“Washu, you’re not my mother”
“Then how did you come into creation?”
“You made me”
“Then I’m your mother”
“No. You’re not”
“Yes. I am”
Just as Ryoko was about ready to begin a brutal beating of the pink-haired scientist Ibara spoke up. “Its very nice to meet Ryoko’s mother, I see where she gets her good looks from”. Ryoko growled at him… Washu looked him up and down then grinned impishly
“He’ll do!” she declared. “Okay everyone, lets go.”
As Ryoko and Ibara watched Washu rounded up the group and ushered them towards the space ship. As they dragged Mioshi away from a particularly pretty flower she’d found, Ryoko turned to Ibara and smiled genuinely. “So, I’m here…”
He grinned a grin that made her a little nervous and very very excited, “Yes, yes you are.”
