Chapter 10: No Need for Plushies and Cabbits
In the future, Tenryu and past Tenchi sat on the living room staring at the pile of boxes forming a miniature stage with a poorly painted background hastily drawn of paper taped to the wall behind it. A broom sat horizontally on top of two columns of boxes with a pair of towels hanging from it to simulate curtains. "This was grandma Washu's advice to curing dad," Tenko explained.
Tenchi and Tenryu slowly nodded while Tenko too her place black stage. Ryoko and Ayeka parted the curtains careful not to demolish the makeshift stage. A Ryoko plushie from Tenko's collection was held by the real Ryoko on the little stage. "Tenchi! Where are you Tenchi?"
A Tenchi plushie held by Ayeka was moved to simulate entering the stage. "I'm right here Ryoko!" She tried to imitate Tenchi's voice but it just sounded weird.
"Oh Tenchi! I love you, let's get married!" Ryoko improvised, they had not really written a script.
"If you want to marry me you need to become a real lady," the Tenchi plushie, voiced by Ayeka replied.
"What do you mean?" Ryoko sounded displeased.
"You need to follow Ayeka's example and become a lady like her. I'm sure that if you ask her nicely she'll help you become civilized and polite; she's so nice and kind after all." Ayeka just couldn't resist.
"Is that the best script you can come up with?" Ryoko whispered backstage, though Tenchi and Tenryu could still hear her.
"I told you we should have written a script and rehearsed, but no, you wanted to wing it!" Ayeka complained.
Ryoko continued the improvised show, "I love you Tenchi, kiss me!" She smashed the Ryoko plushie with the Tenchi one.
"No, Ryoko, I told you to become a lady first!" Ayeka hit the Ryoko plushie on the head with the Tenchi one.
"I'm already more of a lady than Ayeka could ever be!" Ryoko hit the Tenchi plushie with her own, and more so Ayeka's hand.
"There's no way that's true!" Ayeka hit Ryoko's hand back and the argument continued.
It all evolved into Ryoko and Ayeka having a pillow fight with the plushie while Tenko stood to the side with a bundle of plushies of the other characters in her arms, laughing as much as Tenryu and Tenchi.
When they noticed that Tenchi was laughing Ryoko and Ayeka took a vow to their audience who started clapping for their performance. "Well it looks like we made you laugh. Did that make your memories return?" Ryoko asked.
"Not really," Tenchi replied, "but this feels like something I do remember. I guess some things never change."
"What ever do you mean Lord Tenchi?" Ayeka asked.
"Yeah, what could you possibly mean?" Ryoko added.
"Meow!" The sound of several cabbit ships was heard approaching the Masaki house.
"They're back!" Tenko put the plushies don of a pile and went to open the door followed by Tenryu.
"Meow!" Ryo-ohki, Neo-ohki and Nya-ohki entered, each jumping to the arms of their respective official owners. A forth ship went off to the cave near the shrine.
The cabbits' return was celebrated with carrots and Tenchi finally got to see Ryo-ohki's children. Ken-ohki must have already gone back to Nagi. "This is Neo-ohki," Tenryu held his dark gray cabbit. Neo-ohki's eyes were red and the gem on his forehead was golden.
"And this is Nya-ohki," Tenko introduced her cabbit as well. Nya-ohki was white with golden eyes and a gem of the same color.
"You already know Ryo-ohki," Ryoko continued, "the other cabbit we saw was Ren-ohki, he must have gone to look for Usi." Ren-ohki was a light gray, as if Ryo-ohki and Ken-ohki's fur colors were mixed together. His eyes and gem were red.
Tenchi petted the little cabbits, "so there are now three cabbits living with us, no wonder those robots were needed in the carrot fields." The cabbit purred happily.
"There is one more but I'll tell you later," Ryoko whispered.
The day went by playing with the cabbits, telling stories and remembering old times. Later after Ayeka had gone home, Tenchi asked Ryoko about the other cabbit she mentioned. "I'm curious about that other cabbit, was there a reason you could tell me about it then?"
Ryoko nooded, she and Tenchi were sitting on the rooftop enjoying the soft breeze. "Yes, it was a hard time for Ryo-ohki, and for Ken-ohki as well. When Nagi found out that Ken-ohki was the father she wanted to keep the baby cabbits. We settled for having some go with their mother and others go with their father, but there were three so we argued about that because I only brought her one and left the other two at home with Tenko and Tenryu. We were at Nagi's place and while I was busy arguing with Nagi and you were busy trying to keep the baby cabbits was kidnapped. Ken-ohki and Ryo-ohki, who had transported us there, tried to save their son but were unable to do it. I blamed it on Nagi because the kidnapping occurred while we were in her hideout."
"Wait, you said Ryo-ohki had only three babies, so who is the forth one? And you were able to rescue him unharmed, right?" Tenchi asked.
"I'm getting to that part," Ryoko continued, "the one who was kidnapped was Ren-ohki. Ken-ohki and Ryo-ohki were hit with temporarily paralyzing rays before they could transform into ships. The effects did not last too long, but long enough for the kidnapper to get away. We chased after him as soon as Ken-ohki and Ryo-ohki recovered and just as we were leaving, Usigon or Usi for short, Nagi's nephew arrived in a small regular ship to try to talk his aunt into letting him keep a baby cabbit. He tagged along with us in the rescue mission."
"I see, so Ren-ohki eventually became Usigon's cabbit, they knew each other for practically as long as Tenko and Tenryu know Nya-ohki and Neo-ohki," Tenchi commented.
"That's right, and it was during that rescue mission that I made it clear that it would be Usi to keep Ren-ohki and Nagi didn't put up much of an argument. You see while we were rescuing Ren-ohki Usi was hurt protecting him, that's why we entrusted Ren-ohki to him knowing that he would take care of the baby cabbit, even if he was still a child himself. They both made a full recovery soon after, and we turned in the kidnappers to Mihoshi and Kiyone after beating them up a little." Ryoko explained.
"At least it was all solved," Tenchi knew that Ryoko's definition of beating them up a little possibly included a few broken bones.
"As for the forth baby cabbit, we didn't find out about him until later. During Ren-ohki's captivity he was cloned. Cabbits are very rare and nearly impossible to clone and only one of them turned out right. He was sold in the black market to the highest bidder who happened to be a space pirate, Laser's father who gave the cabbit to him," Ryoko narrated.
"Tenryu mentioned Laser when we were at the carrot fields, then his cabbit ship is actually Ren-ohki's clone," Tenchi concluded.
"That's right," Ryoko confirmed. "When we found out we managed to take Rune-ohki, the clone, to Washu, we were able to capture him easily because he was ill and Laser was busy trying to fight and protecting Rune-ohki at the same time. We technically kidnapped him but Laser thought we wanted to steal him and wouldn't trust us. It was for Rune-ohki's own good anyway. Washu managed to stabilize him and with that he became the first truly successful cabbit clone. But because Rune-ohki grew up with Laser in a different galaxy, he doesn't really see Ryo-ohki and his siblings as his family, not even Ren-ohki. I'm not sure if Rune-ohki and Laser even understand that Washu saved Rune-ohki's life."
