A Gundam Wing and Tenchi Muyo Crossover.
I don't own Gundam Wing or Tenchi Muyo, on to the story.....
Prologue: Betrayal!
Ayeka refused to believe what she was seeing.....But it was there. More real than anything she could have just imagined. It all made sense now. Why Tenchi.....She gazed at the sleeping couple, knowing that they were both nude under the sheets. Her throat was dry, as she let of a faint gasp, covering her mouth with one hand, dropping the bottle of champagne with the other.
The sound it made was loud at hitting the hard floor, causing the couple to wake. Ayeka shook her head in denial, clutching a hand to her chest, blinking back tears at having to see Tenchi in bed with Ryoko, his arms wrapped around her, holding her close.
"Ayeka!" Tenchi exclaimed, sitting up, a mixture of shock and shame on his face. "I....."
"How could you?" Ayeka whispered, folding her arms.
"Looks like he's mine now Princess....." Ryoko giggled, sitting up behind him, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Ayeka narrowed her eyes on the blue haired woman, clenching her fists. "I thought you were my friend Ryoko!" She yelled.
The space pirate smirked. "I was, but I think I'd rather have Tenchi instead."
"Ryoko. Can you excuse us for a moment? Please." Tenchi asked, closing his eyes.
Ryoko shrugged. "Sure darling." She purred, kissing his cheek, then pulled on one of his T-shirts, and left the room, winking at him before closing the bedroom door behind her.
The room was silent at first as Tenchi got up, and pulled on his bath robe. Ayeka turned away, anger building up inside of her.
"I can explain." Tenchi started once he was dressed. "I....."
"I don't want to hear it Tenchi." Ayeka stated, trying to hold her anger.
Tenchi bowed his head, unsure of what to say.
"Why?" She asked, looking at the ground. "I thought you loved me."
"Ayeka I do." He said, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Keep your hands off me." She commanded, pushing his hand away. "If you did, then I wouldn't have found you in bed with her would I. You've been keeping this from me, haven't you. This isn't the first time is it?"
Tenchi shook his head. "No." He whispered.
Ayeka turned and looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes. "You son of a....." She sobbed, pulling the engagement ring he had given her three months ago off, and threw it at him.
Tenchi bowed his head, staring at the ring. "I'm sorry Ayeka." He apologized.
"Yeah well.....I'm sorry I ever loved you." She said as calmly as she could, giving him one last glance before running out of the room.
The memory was painful indeed, but that is what drove the Juraian Princess away from Earth. The betrayal of her so called friend, and by the man she loved so much. Her former fiancee. Why did they have to do this to her. If Tenchi was going to do this, then why purpose to her in the first place.
Ayeka wiped a tear from her eye, as she watched the Earth slowly shirk to a speck from her ship. She didn't know if she would ever go back to the beautiful planet, now that there was nothing for her there. Yosho had done this to her before, but how could Tenchi repeat the same act. Leaving her for another woman, making her believe that her loved her. Just as Yosho had done with Haruna.
She didn't tell anyone she was leaving. Which was what she intended. Tenchi had called many times, but she refused to take any of his messages. She wanted nothing more to do with him or Ryoko. She could have him for all she cared. And that was final. She was going back to Jurai where she truly belonged. With her people. And her obligation as Crown Princess. Now she would have to marry the man her father choose. Love didn't matter at all.
Ayeka let out a long heavy sigh, staring at the stars through her ship's big windows, feeling more than exhausted. "Love no longer has any meaning to me....." She said to herself, bowing her head.
Wufei took a few steps into the Chang Clan's Wu Shu Temple, where he clasped one hand into a fist, using the other to cover it with his palm, bowing infront of the ancient Chinese text, to show honor to his ancestors. This was his first visit back to the L5 Colony since he left for Earth a few months ago.
"Nataku.....Why must I always feel so empty?" He whispered, closing his eyes. "I feel so alone.....And so incomplete."
"Wufei....." Said a voice, bringing him out of his thoughts.
"Yes Master Long." Wufei nodded, turning and giving his attention to the older man.
"I must say you've done well, but you must learn to trust, and open up. This secluded lifestyle you live, could be your downfall." Master Long advised, taking a step closer to the Chinese youth.
Wufei looked away, blinking. "I don't know who to trust anymore Master. The Colonies, Oz, Earth, they all seem like enemies to me....."
The older man chuckled. "Indeed, but that was not what I was talking about. Ever since your wife died, you haven't been the same. And it's your duty to keep the Chang family line going."
Wufei gasped, frowning slightly. "I know Master."
Master Long smiled. "I know the marriage to Mei Lan was arranged, and that left you no choice.....Look at it this way.....When you marry.....Marry for love, not duty."
"If there is another woman for me.....I will." Wufei answered, smiling faintly.
Ayeka closed her eyes, resting her head against the pillow, trying to relax. Her bed was soft and comfortable, but the anger and tension she felt, left her feeling empty. This was the last time she would ever let any man close to her, not after what had happened. Betrayed by the two she loved most, and by her friend, if she ever was.
"Yosho, Tenchi, Ryoko.....Why?" Her voice trailed off as she slowly fell asleep.
Wufei folded his arms once the match with one of his clan members was over. He had defeated him easily, since his skills in Wu Shu had advanced. He bowed to Master Long before turning, and walking away. He thought about what his Master had told him. But why? Love was something he wasn't so sure he knew anymore. And there was no love in his previous marriage, just duty, and obligation to him.
He walked into the gardens, trying to clear his mind of all thoughts, when something caught his eye. There by a small waterfall, was a girl, asleep on a bed of grass, with tears falling silently from her closed eyes.
Wufei studied her, she was the most unusual girl he had ever seen, but beautiful in every way. She had purple hair cut in a strange way. Short on top, with two long pigtails trailing past her back, dressed in a strange outfit. A long sleeved aqua dress, covered by a light blue vest, fastened by an peach colored sash. Her face held delicate features, such as high cheek bones, creamy light skin, and full lips.
"Who is she?" Wufei thought, narrowing his eyes at her, slowly approaching her, careful not to make a sound. He kneeled down beside her, and looked at her, wondering if he should wake her. A moment later, her eyes flickered open, and she gasped.
