I know I have other stories to do but I love tenchi so much as a classic series.
XChapter StartX
At dawns first light Naruto was currently in the process of practicing the kenjutsu Ryoko taught him with his weighted boken. Ryoko had gotten him weighted clothes and boken to help out, which consisted of a blue short sleeved kimono top and grey pants, simple attire but effective. Of course she had to convince him she hadn't stolen them from the village which she promised she hadn't stolen them from Konoha. What Naruto didn't know is she did steal them from Mist.
Naruto was quickly improving his strength and speed, he hadn't taken them off since he got them. Ryoko was proud of him taking the initiative in learning the sword, including moves Naruto would never have dreamed of an example was channeling his chakra into the blade and releasing it all at a single point, with Naruto's reserves it was a devastating attack.
He loved training with his sword as it made him feel like he wasn't talentless. However Naruto made sure that all he had learned didn't go to his head and remembered that by taking up the sword you must respect it for it is an extension of yourself so you should never turn your back on it, and use it wisely not for things like revenge.
Thinking back Naruto wondered what the techniques he knew would be like if he had the Tenchi-kun since the blade was as strong as steel yet light as a feather it only being a hilt. He had given it back to Ayeka as a sign of respect and the fact it technically belong to her and her half-brother who he learned from Sasami was meant to be married to. He grew a little curious over hers and Sasami's age but then recalled Ryoko and her age so forgot about it.
Sasami had elaborated in that she and other Jurians had longevity and could live hundreds of years without it showing. Naruto couldn't help but wonder if he would be like that since only their family was able to use the Tenchi-kun at all, which meant he was related to them. Finishing his Kata he breathed out a deep sigh thinking 'Soon I'll be heading back…and I won't ever be the same as before'

Ayeka, woke up with a scream. The dream she just had was the day Yosho had left to chase after Ryoko. She then chased him into somewhere dark, but just as she was about reach him, he turned around and phased into that Naruto person. The remembrance of him giving the Tenchi-ken back to her playing fresh in her memory within the dream, she had then screamed out in sadness only to wake up.
She looked to her side and picked up the Tenchi-ken, holding close to her heart, "He isn't dead, he can't be" she kept insisting to herself. She looked over to her sister and saw she was happily sleeping, so she went up to the window that was in their room and looked to the morning view. Looking at the remaining wreckage of her Ryu-oh that was sticking out of lake nearby, she couldn't help but long to leave this world, "I wish I could go home to planet Jurai" she then noticed something moving in her vision, "Huh?" looking down, she saw it was Ryoko in a new dress.
This one having a green and orange jacket, the green being on right half, while the orange being on the left half, a white long kimono that was parted a bit to show her cleavage with the sides cut to show her legs, showing that they were covered in red spandex pants that seemed connect to the equally red shoes that had a metal circle at the top end of them.
"What's she up to so early?" she pondered seeing Ryoko "What a disgusting thing to see first thing in the morning, that monster woman" she closed the curtains in a huff going to get changed.
Ryoko meanwhile oblivious to Ayeka's gaze was walking across the lake looking for something "Let's see" she said phasing down to the surface of the lake where a lot of the rubble was of the two ships. Looking through the wreckage without apparently needing to breathe she spotted a small black egg and smiled finding it before picking it up and rubbing it against her cheek caringly.

Sasami opened the door to the apartment she and her sister were sharing and walked out before turning back to the person not "Come on Onee-sama" she said politely to her sister. Ayeka poked her head out the door "No I don't want to" she said refusing to leave "Onee-sama you've stayed in this room for one whole week. He's going to think we Jurians don't even have the courtesy to say hello" she insisted to Ayeka trying to coax her out the room.
"No he won't" Ayeka argued loudly before blushing at her outburst "But the head of the home is out now isn't he?" she asked her hand on her cheek. "Naruto-nii-chan is home. Plus Naruto-nii-chan is the head of the house, it's him who takes care of it" Sasami told her sister.
She then put on a dad look "Onee-sama this is very hard on me" she said with a small sigh "I'm sorry Sasami. I should be the one to worry about these things" Ayeka apologized making Sasami raise an eyebrow before sighing in relief. Ayeka adjusted her kimono before turning to the door "Let's go" she said calmly walking out the room.
Sasami ran ahead of Ayeka and went down the stairs before looking back and making sure Ayeka was following. The only slight problem was that Ryoko poked her head up from her position on the lobby's coach making Ayeka huff seeing the woman "How unpleasant" she muttered. Seeing her sister act stubborn Sasami began to pull her by her hands "Onee-sama" she said basically dragging her to the bottom of the stairs.
"Well, look who's here, it's been so long I was beginning to think you died" said Ryoko to Ayeka taunting a little. Sasami looked round "Where's Naruto-nii-chan?" she asked not seeing the blonde "Naruto, well he isn't here that's for sure" she said holding the egg in her lap.
"And I worked so hard to get onee-sama out here" said Sasami disappointed before noticing the egg "Huh?" she walked over to Ryoko "What have you got there? What is it?" she asked happy. Ryoko smiled at the excited girl "You want to know?" she asked she nodded with a "Yes".
Looking at them slightly before huffing and Ryoko smiling enjoying her playing with Ayeka before turning to Sasami "It was born this morning, isn't it adorable?" she said holding it to her cheek. "Did you lay it?" Sasami asked interested about the egg but Ayeka decided to interject "Sasami, don't touch."
It was then the door slid open to reveal Naruto yawning slightly and he rubbed his shoulder. He blinked slightly seeing Ayeka out her room "Ayeka-san" he said surprised. Blushing at her recent behavior and noticing the cut face of Naruto she bowed to him "Ah please allow me to express my gratitude for your hospitality to the Jurai Royal Family."
She looked up to see his slightly confused face "Anyway thank you very much" she bowed again to him as he chuckled. "its fine just don't bow to me, I don't deserve it, Ayeka-san" he said rubbing the back of his head smiling slightly "Hey ojou-chan don't you want to know about this egg?" asked Ryoko breaking the mood not liking the blush of Ayeka's face 'I saw him first and I know him better little girl' she thought smiling on the outside.
Ayeka turned her head up at Ryoko "I have no intention of listening to your insults" she said huffing again before noticing something in the corner of her eyes. "Sasami what are you doing? You'll get germs from that" she asked as her sister rubbed the egg in her hands. Sasami stopped her rubbing and looked up "But Ryoko-nee-chan's baby is going to be born and that's definitely something I want to see" she said cheerfully holding the egg happily.
She then turned to the mother "So are you married, aren't you? Who is the father" she asked the woman who had a cat like grin suggesting mischief was coming before whispering into her ear. "Sasami" said Ayeka loudly not wanting her young sister to spend too much time with Ryoko.
Seeing her reaction Ryoko continued whispering "You see…?" she finished as Sasami exclaimed "Eh? Naruto-nii-chan?" in surprise shocking Ayeka who turned to the now really confused Naruto. He then took note of how angry Ayeka was looking "Um what? Ayeka-san are you alright now?" he asked a little worried seeing the angry woman.
"That certainly is none of your business" she shouted at him before pointing at Ryoko "Why don't you just go over there and hold that egg with your monster woman" she told him. "Ayeka-san please don't call Ryoko-chan that and what's this egg?" he asked as Ryoko leaned against his shoulder smiling "I'm so happy to be bearing the child of the man I love"
"Child? When the heck did this happen, Ryoko-chan what's going on" he asked wondering if Ryoko's reproduction process was different from a human's, as she placed the egg in his hands "Later now hold it tight it wont be long" she said amused. All eyes turned to the egg "Okay seriously what's going on" asked Naruto as he felt the egg shake before cracking and a brown rabbit foot popping out of the shell. "What?" said Naruto confused still holding onto the egg not wanting to hurt whatever it was.
Sasami gasped watching but began giggling seeing the head of the animal pop out showing a cat like face with bunny like ears. 'Odd…like a mix of two animals…a cabbit' he thought as the cabbit meowed with its eyes closed. Naruto took note of the ruby jewel on it's forehead before Ryoko took the cabbit and began nuzzling it to her face "Come here, my little Ryo-Ohki-chan" she said in a loving tone.
"Ryo-Ohki…your ship? You mean that this cabbit is…" he asked as Ryoko laughed at his expression "Ryo-Ohki?" Ayeka narrowed her eyes at the little furry animal in Ryoko's arms. "Yeah this is Ryo-Ohki's child" she said petting it's furry head.
"Can a shapship have a bady?" asked Sasami wide eyed and amazed looking at Ryo-Ohki "Sure, my ship was totally destroyed, so it reproduced itself" she said smiling at the faces of Naruto and Ayeka. "You must be crazy to think it's Naruto's child here's no blonde hair for a start but she does have his whiskers" she chuckled.
"Yeah I thought that was kind of strange" commented Sasami in an amused tone while her sister huffed at the spectacle. "This is so typical, you're all making fun of me" she said turning around to leave "Ayeka-san please wait we're not making fun of you" said Naruto grasping her arms "At least I'm not"
She shrugged off his arms before slapping him across the face "Let go of me you brute" she said as the sound echoed " I thought you were different, you're no better than that demon so go back to her" she said harshly before running out. However a she left Naruto felt his anger rise at her comment his eyes changing to slitted red, Ryoko was quick to react putting Ryo-Ohki down and getting to his side "Naruto, calm down you don't want to scare Sasami" she whispered as he wondered what she was talking about but followed her instructions anyways..
Ryo-Ohki was climbing the coach as Sasami watched and quickly became friends as Ryo-Ohki jumped up and perched herself on her shoulder with a happy meow. Ryoko meanwhile was still at Naruto's side "You okay Naruto?" she asked worried slightly "Yeah I'm fine and thanks, but what was that?" Ryoko sighed, she didn't want to be the one to tell him but no one else would and he needed to know.
"I'll tell you later as it's important but I don't think the others are ready to know" she whispered as Sasami played with her new friend. "Alright Ryoko-chan." he said as she put on a big smile "You are so sweet" her hands began rubbing his chest and her face to his whisker marks much to his hidden pleasure.
"You're so sweet to be so trusting of me" she said happily as her hands went further south making him flush "Oi above the belt please" he said hoping to control his body's reactions. "Fine I can do this later, but Naruto where is the sword?" she asked ceasing her roaming hands…for now.
"The sword? I gave it back to Ayeka-san" he said as she went bug eyed and grabbed his shirt hearing this "You what? But that sword contains all of my energy sources" she exclaimed before putting on a small fainting act swaying back "What is she uses if?"
Naruto just rubbed the bridge of his nose " I'm going back to training" he said leaving and once the door closed Sasami looked a little worried "Onii-chan" she said.
Seeing her face Ryoko smiled down at her "Don't worry, Naruto has taken care of himself for a long time. He just takes his training very seriously essepaly since he found his calling in the sword." she said to the younger alien "Although he's inherited his mother's stubbornness."
Ryo-Ohki then turned on her position on Sasami's head before jumping off and heading to the window "Ryo-Ohki-chan" Sasami said following the cabbit. Said animal ended up running into the glass door making herself get hit and roll back before getting up, shaking her head "What it it Ryo-Ohki-chan" Sasami asked.
She looked out the window to see her sister as she looked at the remains of Ryu-oh, Ryo-Ohki then phased through the window like Ryoko could. "Hey where are you going?" said Sasami trying to follow but forgetting she couldn't phase though walls and banged her head as Ryo-Ohki had "Ryo-Ohki-chan?" she called.

Outside Ayeka silently stared at the remains of her ship Ryu-oh knowing that salvaging it would be near impossible now, and the fact that her brother was most likely dead too. By her feet Ryo-Ohki noticed the sad look on her face and rubbed her head against her leg hoping to cheer her up. Feeling something against her leg Ayeka jumped in surprised hoping to scare away whatever the creature was.
After a moment she looked down to see the culprit was Ryo-Ohki who meowed happily as Ayeka had stopped crying "Ryo-Ohki" she exclaimed with an annoyed face before trying to shoo her away "Go away you little dirty thing" she said to the cabbit. Ryo-Ohki just tilted her head cutely before hopping toward her which Ayeka reacted to by stepping back before the cabbit moved closer.
Ayeka huffed crossing her arms "Very well, I want you to stay right there. I'll be the one to go away" she said pointing to herself before starting to leave. "Don't you dare follow me" she warned as she walked off and immediately followed by Ryo-Ohki.
As she walked through the forest Ryo-Ohki continued to follow her, she was constantly checking to see if she was there. She turned off at a foot path before looking back catching her in the act "I said don't follow me" she said as Ryo-Ohki stopped and quickly rushed into the bush before poking her head out with a look of 'sorry'.
Not much caring Ayeka turned back but then noticed something by Ryo-Ohki "The Royal Teardrop?" she said in surprise seeing a flower that she'd seen many a time on Jurai. Bending down she plucked the flower nearby the cabbit "No…it can't be" she muttered remembering once offering the flower to Yosho as it was the same colour as his eyes.
As the memory hit her of being betrothed to Yosho and to be wed once older made her start to cry her tears dripping on the lower part of her kimono. Seeing her crying Ryo-Ohki hopped into her lap and licked her hand as a tear hit her nose but Ayeka moved her hands to her face to try and stop her crying "Leave me alone, please leave me alone" she said sadly.
Ryo-Ohki jumped off as told looked sad trying to think of something to cheer Ayeka up. When she moved her hands from her eyes she found a flower being held up by Ryo-Ohki in her mouth offering it to Ayeka. "For me?" she asked as Ryo-Ohki gave her an eye smile meowing in confirmation as Ayeka took the flower giggling "You funny little thing" she said in a thankful tone.
Ryo-Ohki hopped in her lap again as Ayeka started to pet and scratch under her chin "Don't you know that I hate out?" she asked in a happy tone as the cabbit licked her hand making Ayeka giggle again at the kind actions of Ryo-Ohki.

Back at the Uzumaki home, Ryoko phased through the floor of Ayeka's and Sasami's room. Looking around, she saw no one was in and then started to look through all the luggage that was salvaged from Ryu-oh "Lets see…" she muttered looking for obviously the sword but unable to find it. "Just where would she keep that sword?" she asked herself before noticing a holographic image of Yosho "Ah Yosho, her onii-sama" she said scowling but then put on a thoughtful look "Good riddance to him" she said happy.
"Onee-chan where are you?" shouted the voice of Sasami behind the door "This doesn't look good" she muttered phasing out of the room via a nearby wall just as Sasami entered the room. "No she isn't here. Where did everyone go to?" she wondered feeling a little lonely.

Back outside Ayeka sat under a nearby tree with Ryo-Ohki napping on her lap "So tell me what do I do now?" she asked the sleeping cabbit. "With my spaceship destroyed I can neither fly nor communicate with my people" she muttered scratching Ryo-Ohki's belly "The only clue I have is the sword. I wonder…" she said as she looked over to the lake from her position on the hill side.
"Could my onii-sama really be…" she muttered as Ryo-Ohki yawned cutely in her lap "But you don't understand a word I say" she said as the now awake Ryo-Ohki seemed to hear something and jumped off Ayeka's lap to head toward the sound. "What is it?" asked Ayeka "You'll get lost" she said as Ryo-Ohki gestured with her ears before running into the forest.
"Ryo-Ohki-chan" Ayeka called as she rushed after the cabbit quickly loosing sight of her "I can't find her anywhere" she muttered concerned for the cabbit which seemed to be much better that her apparent parent Ryoko. She then heard the sounds of grunting and the sound of something hitting against wood.
Coming to a clearing she found Naruto hopping from crooked wood spikes in the ground while knocking around a piece of wood tied to a rope with a boken. Ayeka watched in amazement seeing the boy easily jumping on the small pillars without showing any signs of stress. Ayeka looked surprised at the action as charged and started going through the kata. Ayeka's eyes went wide seeing Naruto's stance 'That's…' as he practiced an image of Yosho came over Naruto 'That's like the swordplay routines of Jurai Royal Family, Onii-sama' she thought in shock as Naruto preformed spinning strikes in addition to it. She had to admit that the moves were excellent additions to the style.
"It may be a clue to his whereabouts, Naruto-sama" she called before slipping down the slope behind her with a scream "Eh?" Naruto looked to where he heard his name get called out. Walking over to where he heard the scream "What was that?" he said before covering his eyes blushing as in her current position Ayeka's luscious legs were bare to see.
"Ouch, why must I suffer from this kind of disgrace?" Ayeka whined before noticing Naruto and quickly trying to cover her modesty. "What are you doing down there?" he asked dropping down the slope to her "Are you alright" he asked letting his concern for her overtake his hormones.
"I'm sorry, I'm alright" she answered "Ayeka-san" said Naruto worriedly "I'm alright" she insisted getting to her feet before going down again hissing in pain "It hurts" she told him as she held onto his arm with her own. Naruto noticed the blood from her leg "Red blood" he muttered to himself as he had been curious to the colour of their blood being aliens.
"Eh?" Ayaka said confused "Oh nothing" he waved off his comment "What are you doing there?" he asked before going on one knee and examining Ayeka's leg "Hmm, it looks like a bad sprain" he said wrapping a piece of cloth around her ankle.
"Excuse me" Ayeka muttered getting Naruto's attention "That sword-play routine you were performing…" she tried to asked what she wanted to ask, "Ryoko showed me the basics of the sword and told to just practice those but it wasn't working for me so I tried to make my own style but again it didn't work as I had next to nothing to go on. Then I saw this old man I met a couple of days ago and he showed me a bit of his style and I adapted it to suit me better." Ayeka blinked but nodded but couldn't stop her sad face.

"Ryoko-Nee-chan, Ryoko-Nee-chan" Sasami called out to the bummed out woman laying on the couch, bummed out because she couldn't find the Tenchi-ken anywhere "It's raining" she told the cyan haired woman as soon as she made it over to the couch. Ryoko just grunting at what she said," stop the rain, my sister and the others are still outside," Sasami pleaded to Ryoko.
"Eehh on this planet they don't have a way of doing that yet" she told her. Meanwhile in Ame a orange haired man with multiple piercings sneezed "Everything alright" asked a blue haired woman with a flower in her hair "Yes everything is fine" he informed her. Back with Ryoko she suddenly had a bright idea "Hey Sasami-chan do you happen to know where your onee-chan keeps Naruto's sword" she asked happy expecting her answers from the little girl.
"Eh…she carries it with her wherever she goes, I think" she answered to the best of her knowledge making Ryoko do a 180 "Of course" she muttered laying back down on the couch.

Naruto was currently running through the forest with Ayeka on his back trying to look for shelter from the rain, he knew being out in it too long would be bad for Ayeka as she didn't have his immune system. However as luck would have it he came across a shed 'Well I'll be…I didn't think there was anything this far from the village.' he thought looking at the shed. 'WE must be closer to Konoha than I thought, although I did run quite far' he mused sliding the door open and walking in placing Ayeka on one of the benches inside.
Once inside he took off his weighted shirt and wringed it out not noticing Ayeka blushing up a storm seeing his developing six pack and chest but his body structure wasn't overly bulky instead seemed to me made for speed. She also took note of the different marking n his stomach and arms alongside the numerous scars over his body.
Using one of the storage seals on his wrist Naruto unsealed a small towel he kept there for training "Here, you can dry yourself off with this" he offered with a small smile. He noticed that she seemed to be shivering while also not meeting his eyes. Looking round he made a small pile of nearby wood and a small metal box then set them on fire with a lighter much Ayeka's gratitude.
Knowing she would need to get out her wet clothes Naruto turned to the door "I'll go outside for a bit while you dry yourself off" he said getting a small nod, leaving the shed closing the do behind him. He shivered a little but shrugged it off being used to cold weather before looking up at the sky "Not long now" he muttered thinking about him leaving the village again even if it had only been a week. The village was still being fixed thanks to the damage caused by Ayeka's ship.
Inside Ayeka stripped off her wet clothing and laid it down neatly before wiping her self with the towel but as she did she thought about the owner Naruto and how she been treating him this past week. She also remembered slapping him 'I shouldn't have done that, he apologized for that prank a week ago and he actually wasn't laughing either. Ohh I shouldn't have used those words I doubt he took it nicely, then again who would' she thought a little guilty.
The sound of clattering came from somewhere in the shed she looked behind her to see what made the noise but saw nothing before turning back round, only for the sound of clattering to be heard again. "What is it?" she asked herself sitting down just as something jumped from the shadows and landed face first onto her breasts, her face went red before screaming in fright.
Hearing her Naruto rushed inside "Ayeka-san what's wrong?" he asked as said girl clung to the boy for protection and Naruto began searching the room for signs of danger while putting his hands on her waist. "Something…something lunged at me" she said pressing his body to her own, looking down Naruto saw the source of the incident as Ryo-Ohki poked her head out with tears threatening to fall from her eyes as she meowed in apology.
Naruto sighed in relief "Don't worry it's only Ryo-Ohki" he told Ayeka as Ayeka turned her head to see the sad faced Ryo-Ohki "Oh…she scared the daylights out of me, the naughty thing" she said her hand feeling something soft and warm "Eh?" she muttered looking down to see Naruto's face looking up at hers making her face flush as did his making the two separate from their position.
"Um…I guess I'll just go back outside" he said not wanting Ayeka to feel awkward around him turning to leave "Outside…" she muttered making his stop and turn to see her concerned face "Outside must be cold" she said not wanting him to stay out in the rain. Naruto himself was having trouble keeping his blush controlled as he had little experience being in the same room with women wearing wet clothes like Ayeka was.
The two sat down by the fire while Ryo-Ohki roamed around the inside of the shed "I guess I misunderstood certain things" Ayeka said to Naruto "Hmm?" he said wondering what she was talking about "Since you were with Ryoko-san, I thought you were her friend" she said to him a little quiet.
"Well she is my friend but I tend to make friends quickly really, then again I class you as a friend too Ayeka-san" he told her erecting a blush on her face knowing he didn't dislike her. "But it really all started when I went to the cave" he told her "The cave?" she asked him curiously.
He nodded "There is a cave nearby the shrine, the shrine where the old man lives and Ryoko was locked up in it" he explained "My Onii-sama did that" said Ayeka knowing how strong her brother was. "Yosho, right" Naruto muttered "That's what the legend says" he continued before there was a silence "Can I ask you a question Ayeka-san?"
"Oh…sure" she nodded looking up at him as he did the same "What are you going to do now?" he asked concerned for his friend. "I know I cannot return to my planet now. I must continue the search for my brother, only its hard for me having no relatives on this alien planet" she said sadly knowing that she and her sister were on their own on an alien planet.
"In that case just stay with us" he said plainly and simply "I'm responsible for all this by unsealing Ryoko-chan. Plus…" he smiled softly making her face go redder "Since you are related to Yosho that makes us family too in a way" he said happily.
"Yosho was my half-brother" she informed him as Naruto stayed quiet for her explanation "You may think it odd to marry your brother…" Naruto could only nod' he listened as Ayeka continued.
"But even thought my parents arranged the engagement I was happy about it" her face then turned sad "Just…just to think that I won't be able to share this feeling with my onii-sama I don't…" tears began to fall from her face thinking this "I don't know what to do anymore" she said covering her face.
Naruto began to think of something before remembering "His ship…it must have been destroyed just like yours was" he said before standing up and smiling at her. "If he crashed it means he was stranded here but if he had longevity like you said, its very possible that he's still alive Ayeka-san so please…cheer up okay" him saying this relieved Ayeka as she smiled believing his words.
He then heard Ryo-Ohki meowing meaning she wanted his attention to he looked down "What's up Ryo-Ohki-chan?" he saw she had dragged a basket full of carrots over "Carrots…you want this carrot?" he asked picking one up she nodded and he smiled picking her up and setting her on his lap feeding her the carrot which she nibbled up be and meowed in happiness at the taste.
Carrot's huh" he chuckled as Ayeka giggled watching him feed the little cabbit "Eat enough of these and you'll grow into a spaceship Ryo-Ohki-chan" he said smiling as the cabbit nodded in agreement eating her carrot enjoying the petting Naruto was also giving her.

After a little while the sound of rain ceased and Naruto opened the door to check outside seeing clear skies "Well it looks like it cleared up" he said looking back to Ayeka holding out his hand "Well, lets go" he said as Ayeka stared for a few seconds before taking his hand.
The two began making their way back to the house both fully clothed again and Ayeka back on Naruto's back enjoying the ride to her hidden pleasure. As they walked she spotted a large tree in the distance "Huh, what is that?" she asked as Naruto looked in the direction of the tree. Naruto tried to remember it and then called forth the knowledge "That's the Original Tree. apparently it's the tree that the Shodaime Hokage first learned to used Mokuton or Wood Release" he explained before asking "Would you like to go see it?"
She nodded feeling something familiar about the tree and the three of them made their way with Ryo-Ohki having several carrots strapped to her back while holding one in her mouth. When they got there Naruto let Ayeka walk over to the tree as she inspected it.
"There is no doubt, this is Funaho, its alive" she said in relief "Funaho…?" Naruto asked raising an eyebrow "My onii-sama's ship" she elaborated to Naruto "Remember there was a tree exactly like this on my ship? This tree is the heart and soul of the ship"
Naruto placed his hand on the tree's trunk "So this tree can transform into one of those giant shapships?" he asked curious wondering if the tree was the source of the Mokuton ability. She shook her head "No this tree has taken root, it can't become a ship" she said taking out the Tenchi-kun and tapping the trunk twice as electricity sparked out the end making it send out a high pitched tone.
The tree's leaves began lighting up and shooting rainbow like beams around them which reflected off the water into the sky "Whoa, what's happening?" said Naruto slightly amazed at the spectacle. "The ship's memory" Ayeka explained as images of pasts events began to appear "Memory?" said Naruto curious as the image became clearer.
He looked around and saw it was space again, but then he saw something coming out from the darkness of it "what is that?" Just then, Ryo-Ohki and another Juraian ship flew by "that's my Onii-sama's ship," Ayeka confirmed to Naruto.
As the two fought from their ships on the planet's surface, another fight was being shown, this one showing Ryoko in a sort of berserk like state, fighting a man in royal clothing. This man having tanned skin, red eyes, and long black hair "Ryoko, she almost looks like..." he said remembering how he got in his jinchuuriki state "And that's Yosho" he said seeing the man wielding the Tenchi-kun against Ryoko.
When Yosho's ship shot Ryoko's ship far from the where Funaho had crash landed, he saw a smaller ship eject from and follow to where Ryoko had crashed. Not a second later, that the two seemed to have gone through a tough battle, as even though Ryoko looked relatively unharmed, Yosho was bleeding from an injury on his head and his body looked torn up and bruised. The one thing that was keeping him from getting injured further was Yosho having stabbed Ryoko in the throat, seemingly sucking in the red gems, through the beam of the Tenchi-ken, that were Ryoko's source of power. Naruto oddly noted the crash seemed to have made the valley and mountains that was around the shrine, "So this was how the lake was made" he noted.
As soon as the vision of Ryoko having lost to Yosho was done, the tree stopped its special lighting effect, ending the vision the two had just saw "You were right Naruto-sama he is alive I'm sure of it now. Since Funaho is alive, somewhere on this planet Yosho must be alive also" she said happily.
She looked at Naruto giving him an apologetic smile to him "I'm sorry I've been cold to you, I'll return this to you" she said handing over the Tenchi-ken. "Are you sure Ayeka-san?" he asked knowing what it meant to her. "You are related by blood to Jurai's Royal family. I am asking you to protect us until my onii-sama is found" she said smiling.
"Very well Ayeka-san but I'll make sure to keep it safe and weild it with respect" he said taking the sword. "Besides I'd protect you and Sasami-chan anyway, Ryoko-chan too" he said with a grin that she giggled too.
"Onee-sama" called the voice of Sasami heading toward them Ryo-Ohki leading her "Sasami" Ayeka said in surprise of seeing her sister "Where have you been? You've been gone so long I was worried" she asked her big sister.
"I'm sorry, did you come here all this way by yourself?" she asked Sasami who shook her head "No Ryoko-nee-chan is with me and Ryo-Ohki-chan met us halfway, she brought us here" she informed Ayeka with the cabbit taking her place on her shoulder. Ayeka giggled at Ryo-Ohki "You are one funny little creature" she said as the cabbit repositioned itself on Sasami's head.
"Okay, okay what a friendly atmosphere" said the familiar voice of Ryoko as they all turned o see her standing on the water "Ryoko-chan" Naruto waved slightly seeing her not really having much of a problem with her like Ayeka did. She phased to his side and stared at Ayeka "Naruto, how come you've been with this unworthy girl all this time?" she asked.
"One don't talk about peoples worth Ryoko-chan, and two Ayeka-chan was injured so I couldn't leave her" he defended making Ryoko sigh knowing he was right, but was happy knowing that was his way as she wouldn't like him any other way. She then noticed the sword in his hand "Ooh you got the sword back Naruto, well done my boy" she said happily patting his shoulder.
"No I returned the sword to Naruto-sama" she informed Ryoko making the woman give Ayeka a look but decided to play it off "Okay so you're pissed we got it back" she said. "But its true Ryoko-chan" said Naruto stopping that idea "Naruto-kun and I are related by blood, it's really none of your business" she said in a cheerful tone.
Electricity began to arc around Ryoko's body "None of my business" she said angry and annoyed "I come all this way just to help you" she said before turning her head in a huff "Alright then do what you want" she said teleporting away. "Ryoko-nee-chan" Sasami called to her "To help us?" said Ayeka confused.
"Ryoko-chan come back there's no need to get upset" he shouted hoping to call her back, Ryoko angry was never a good thing. "Forget it, let's go" said Ayeka walking over to him "But knowing Ryoko I don't think it's good having her annoyed" he said.
"Well at least I have you to protect me if anything happens" she giggle before grabbing his hand and dragging him off "Lets go Naruto-sama" she said giggling. Naruto blushed at Ayeka's sudden boldness "Come on" she urged as he let himself be dragged off. Sasami meanwhile sighed at her sisters actions but was also happy seeing her sister smile and silently thanked her Naruto-nii-chan for helping her. She was looking forward to spending more time with him since she really liked him as did Ryo-Ohki on her head.
