A nightly encounter

 A shinto priest made his way up a long row of stone steps flowing dinner at his son's house.
At the top of the stairs lay a small shinto shrine.
As the priest made his way to a small rectangular building beside the shrine,
the wind blew cherry blossoms through the area. The scent reminding him of a certain memory
& a certain person in his life. As he made his way towards his office.
A little while later he made his way to his sleeping quarters. As he sat down,  a black  portal opened and
a diminutive figure stepped out & sat down opposite the priest. The portal then closed & the two sat down.
They started to set up a tea service & calmly served each other some honey- sweetened tea.
they looked at each other & without a thought the priest changed appearance
from a older gray haired man of around 60 to a young & vibrant looking man in his late 20's.
She also changed from the a 12 year old to a woman of early 30's.
they then began to speak;

Her: Well Yousho, how was you day Dear?

Him: It was mostly uneventful, unless you count the fight between the girls over my grandson during our training session.

Her: So, What did you do about them?

Him: I made them go to the shrine & had them sweep & clean the shrine area.

Hier: Isn't that Tenchi's chores you made them do?

Him: Yes, but since they interrupted our practice, I thought it would be appropriate for them to do his chores since it was their fight over him that started it.

Washu: My daughter & your sister seem to not understand that what they do doesn't win them points with Tenchi?

Yousho: Their just young, they will learn as they mature!

Washu:Now wait a minute, their both over 700 eyars old, they are not young in age!

Yousho: But, they are young in maturity.  I hope we can guide them to making  the right decisions for themselves.

Washu: (She let out a sigh) I don't think Ryoko will listen to me much. Not since that night in the lab.

Yousho: You just need to work out a way to talk to her, she does really care for you, but you both need to work out your own problems first. You need to treat her more as a person, not as an object

Washu: (Feeling hurt) Well, Coming from a runaway first Prince of Jurai, who disguises himself & directs his own sister's affections towards his own grandson, I don't think you can say much to me about my problems
(With an angry look)

Yousho: (Knodding & smiling back with understanding) I never said we were perfect,(reaching & holding her hand softly, calming her down) just that we see others faults better than our own. (he slowly leans forward & gently kisses her cheek. She slowly smiles & hugs him.)

Washu: Well, I can see that is true. (after a pause) Lets get some sleep, OK?

Yousho: It is getting late!( they clear the tea set, and slowly walk to the next room, change clothes,
they ley down together on one futon & cover themselves up as she lays her head on his chest.)

Washu: Well, Yousho when do you think we should tell them about us?

Yousho: I'd say after Tenchi has made his choice. We don't want him to be distracted any more than he already is!

Washu: You Know for a youngster of 10,000 years, you are extremely wise!

Yousho: Well, coming from the greatest scienctist in the universe(Both smile with amusement), I'll accept that with honor!

Washu: Well, you'll accept this, or I'll turn you int a frog, got it!
(She rose from his chest & gave him a passionate kiss)

Yousho: Well, we might not be getting as much sleep as we thought! (As they both embraced)
 

Well I hope you like this short fic. It has nothing to do with any of my other fics. I just had the idea That through all the Tenchi series, the ones who talked to each other the most about the family were Washu & Yousho. So, Why not have a short fic to perk the interest of those who might come up with a good story with them as the main characters. So, who out there can do it? Hope someone does!
