//I can bother our Washu, don't worry. Plus, I'm expecting Ayeka to pop in soon. NOTE TO OUR RYOKO: I said you can have "conversations" with other characters, but don't get carried away! You can't drive the entire plot on your own. XD

"My, my, this Kagato is quite the strange one." Katsuhito whispered to Tenchi. "I have the most bizarre feeling that he's a flasher of some sort." Katsuhito, evne in a potentially serious situation, managed to keep his humorous nature intact.

Katsuhito then turned to Kagato. "Hello there, sir Kagato. I can't help but have noticed you seem to be staring at some of Washu's tanks; is something bothering you?"
"Why, yes, actually; these objects seem to be changing there shape, and staring at me..."

//Building off what Kagato said. I'm interested in where he can take this!

// lmao at the death note manga!//

"This aint just any comic K-Man," exclaimed Washu with an extremely proud look on her face," This Death Note is extremely
powerful! Im not quite sure as to what its purpose is for yet but the energy readings i took off it are phenomenal!"
"Extremely powerful!" said both Puppets at the same time.

"I....see.." said Kagato then he thought to him self, "I must find out what part these three artifacts play in all this. however,
should i seem to eager to find out about them, Washu may suspect somthing....she may even already suspect me and this could
all just be an act. ill bide my time for now, and i still havent met .....that boy yet."

Washu continued to Gloat about her story of finding the death note while Kagato stood there rubbing his chin, listening intently.
Ryoko watched them and then looked at the artifacts, then once back at Kagato with a suspicious look on her face.
"How can this be a different Kagato!" She yelled inside her mind, " This is crazy, he has the same power, the same face!
I dont like this at all, what is Washu doing talking to this guy? i should kill him right now!"

"BREAKFAST!!" came a call from up up in the house.
Ryoko paused.
"...........i wonder how the others will react to Washus new friend?" she thought,"Heheh, i can see it now."
she pictured an all out battle happening over the breakfast table, everyone yelling and shouting.
"This is insane, i better keep an eye on Tenchi, i dont trust this guy at all."
"well, wed better get breakfast then before Mihoshi eats it all!" said Ryoko in a teasing tone.
"Well see you up there soon." said Washu, still going on about vectors and a bunch of other crap
only she would understand.

"k." said ryoko and she floated off through the door.

//I was asking Kagato a question... T_T there goes that. And once again, remember what I said.

// *Takes a rolled up issue of the Big Issue, and bops "Our Ryoko" on the head with it* Inner monologues are best kept to the player playing that character I think Or possibly sometimes the GM, but not often... And bkev, I think you mean "their shape". Just a little nit-pick.

When the family members went up to have their Breakfast, Kagato did not follow, and for the moment at least, they did not seem to notice. Those blasted things in the tanks were really making him feel off centre, as he hadn't even notice Katsuhito had followed him and Washu. He was without doubt the same as he had been in the previous world he had come from, but there was something extra strange about him here, like there was a second presence in him, one with some strange power of control.

//Hope you don't mind me making reference to him being our GM, hee hee.


Kagato knew he wouldn't have long until he came back to "invite" him to breakfast, with the real intention of keeping an eye on him. He walked over to Washu's computer, and began to type into it.
"Let's see how similar to my Washu she actually is?"
He typed 'Goddess'.
"Access Denied" came the response.
"Alright, how about this?"
'greatestgeniusintheuniverse'.
"Access Granted. Welcome Back Washu."
"Too easy...." Kagato sighed, as he began to browse the files she had amassed on the others in this household. He had been right on the money, just like his Washu, she was extremely curious and had studied everyone extensively. Including Tenchi. There were a couple other surprises too.
"... So Washu and Ryoko are not 'related' here?..... And Washu was locked up in the cave? For... being the most amazing genius in the Universe? Translation, for being completely insane. They've met this World's Nagi? Interesting... Who is this Kiyone? Another Police officer with that idiot Mihoshi by the looks of it..."
There was a great rumble, as though something rather large had just crashed just outside the house. He could just hear a police siren going off too.
"Well looks like I'll be meeting her soon enough..."
He glanced round, and notice that the central item in the tanks had changed again. Into a different mask. One he recognised, he knew not where from, and uttered a name he did not know.
"Number.... nine?"
He looked again, and it was the Pharoah's mask once more.
He turned to the console again to find a file that sounded promising.
"Time/space generation machine? Interesting... Hmmm she had abandoned this project, until recently she had had... strange dreams?"
He glanced at the Mask again. It grined. He looked again, and it was a normal "royal" frown again.
"This could be of some use to me..."
Then he heard steps beginning to decend back down to the lab again, and quickly logged out and walked over to the tanks to study them again. He had to have some kind of excuse, after all....

//I hope Mihoshi and Kiyone don't mind me crashing their ship? We all knew it was going to happen... If it is too soon for it to crash, and sure you two can rewind time a bit to go further into the details if you want... And this scene was mostly to get my character up to speed on the details of the characters in this Universe.... I do have the right Universe, right? And oh, anyone can be the one coming down to the lab now.

I'm confused, when did I(Tenchi) get into Washu's lab? And so I know we're all on the same page, we're all going to the kitchen now to have breakfast?

//I think Kagato managed to slip away...

// Er, incase it isn't clear, I'm looking at Washu's Computer Records, and not watching the actual characters....
Or did our Ryoko say you were in the lab? And yes, I, I mean, Kagato slipped away to access Washu's Computer while eveyrone else went up to eat Breakfast....

// we must have posted at the same time bkev, cause i never saw that post, and no tenchi isnt in the lab, ryoko was just
thinking about him, wanting to protect him as she always does. sorry bout doin kagatos inner monologue, it was just one thats
all, not like i altered anything in his character.//

The gang were all sitting around the table eating breakfast.Tenchi was sitting in between Ryoko and Ayeka (much to his dismay).
Sasami was carrying in some tasty meal which everyone was sure to like. // btw have Mihoshi and Kyone arrived yet? whats goin on there?//
Noboyuki walked in yawning and then looked at the clock.

Ryoko sat there silently, struggling to keep in what she saw in Washu's lab. Tenchi looked up at Ayeka who got up to help Sasami
with the massive pot she was carrying in. He turned to face Ryoko who looked like she had seen a ghost.
"Haha whats wrong Ryoko," joked Tenchi, " lost your appitite, did you see a ghost or somthing?"
Ryoko shot a sharp glance at him.
"TENCHI KAGATOS HERE!!! HES IN WAHSUS LAB! HES COME BACK FOR ROUND 2!" Thats what she wanted to yell at him but she
knew everyone would just think she was crazy. It actually hurt her a little to think that they wouldnt have trusted her if she yelled that out.
Instead she said."Yeh maybe i did."
Tenchi looked at her with a confused expression on his face.
"What? You saw a ghost?" he asked in a half joking tone of voice.
"I dono what i saw," Ryoko said helplessly," Who cares anyway!" she said changing her tone to her usual enthusiastic one," Lets
eat up! Weve got a big day ahead of us!"
"what are you talking about?" said Ayeka as she was putting down some bread on the table,"Whats happening today?"
"Oh im sure we'll all find out soon enough." Ryoko said with a reassuring tone.

Just then two figures appeared through the door under the stair case.

// I know that Mihoshi didn't have her cube or all of her luck in Universe, but I'm incorporating those aspects into her character.

*Mihoshi watched as Kiyone began to pilot the ship back to earth. She noticed that her partner was yawning frequently and decided that it would be in both of their best interests if she helped guide them back to earth. As Kiyone distracted herself with minor details such as piloting the ship, Mihoshi sat in her own chair and started fooling around with her cube in order to help guide the ship's computer.*

"Let's see....first that one..."

*Mihoshi turned the bottom layer of the cube to the left and the ship slowed down a little.*

"Oops...I meant the one right above it!"

*Upon hitting turning this section, Kiyone's seat ejected her, causing her to face plant forward onto the main control panel.*

"Mihoshi! What have you done?!" a now fully awake Kiyone screamed as the ship lurched forwards and then reversed and then began careening towards Mars.

*As Mihoshi frantically pressed buttons on her cube, the ship narrowly dodged Mars and began a turbulent flight towards Earth. As Kiyone struggled to control the ship’s computer, Mihoshi frantically tried to correct the ship's speed and trajectory with her all purpose cube. Mihoshi flipped the cube and the artificial gravity turned off. Now floating and panicking, Mihoshi pressed a few more squares. Peering out through the window, Mihoshi clapped her hands in excitement to see that they were right on course. Meanwhile Kiyone frantically tried to reach the control panel to slow their ship down before they-*

*CRASH*

*As the ship hit the ground, the two GXP officers slammed into the bottom of the ship before falling completely out and onto the grass below.*

"That wasn't too bad....right Kiyone?" Mihoshi questioned as she rubbed her arms. "Luckily, I landed on something really big and soft!!!"

*Kiyone just groaned*

*Mihoshi looked down to find that the something soft was actually her partner's posterior. Jumping up in a flash, Mihoshi brushed herself off and pulled Kiyone up to join her. Kiyone began to lecture Mihoshi, but Mihoshi's mind was already elsewhere..."

"Kiyone!" Mihoshi said gleefully, "I smell breakfast and I haven't eaten in hours!!!"

*Mihoshi then took off with Kiyone in tow toward the house to join the others."

"Ahhh breakfast smells great Sasami!" chimed Washu as she entered the room, "Im starving, what is it today, pork dumplings? Miso soup?"

The entire Misaki household went silent. Tenchi, Ayeka and everyone was staring in sheer horror and confusion as
Washu and what looked to be like Kagato stepped out into the room.
Ryoko just looked down at her plate and then started cramming bread into her mouth to avoid looking at everyone
else.
"Here we go" she muttered under her breathe.

"Whats everyone staring at?" asked Washu confused and then turned and looked Kagato who was looking a bit nervous.
"Ohhhhh, hey guys did i tell ya? I ment this nice man this morning and boy am i excited!" Washu said loudly, ushering Kagato
closer into the room. " His name is Kagato and him and i are going to share some ideas for my latest invention!"

There was a long pause and then Tenchi screamed, triggering everyone else to scream,"K...K..k..K KAGATO!!" and everyone ran and dived
behind the sofa. Everyone except for Ryoko who had stayed put and was munching on a dumpling.

"Oh settle down everyone!" reassured Washu, "This isnt THE Kagato, he just looks the same and has the same name."
"what are the odds." said Ryoko sarcastically with her mouth full.
Washu shot her a warning glance and Ryoko looked down at her plate again.

Just at that moment Mihoshi and Kiyone came through the sliding doors behind the others in the living room.

Tenchi peaked his head out from behind the sofa. "Are you sure he isn't Kagato?" Tenchi asked.

"Yes I'm sure!", yelled Washu. "I ran a DNA test and theres not a drop of Juria blood in him therefore he can't be Kagato....I mean he is Kagato......but he's not....AHHHHHH!" Washu yelled out in frustration as everyone who ducked behind the sofa was looking out from behind it with a confused look.

"Hi everyone!" Said Mihoshi as she entered the room followed shortly by Kiyone with a tired look on her face.

*After saying hi to everyone, Mihoshi ran around the room giving everyone the best and tightest hug she could muster in order to show everyone how much she missed them. Poor little Sasami was at just the right height that she was smothered between Mihoshi's ample assets and began to resemble her blue hair. After noticing the hug that Sasami was given, Noboyuki ducked down to the child's height. After his hug was given his face was red instead of blue and a trickle of blood leaked out from his nose. Mihoshi even gave Kagato a hug before sitting down in her chair and gulping to large bowls of soup. She was sooo hungry after carefully landing the spaceship and rushing to greet everyone and she was relieved to see that there was enough food at the table to satisfy her appetite. After filling her ever hungry stomach with some food, she realized that she had dished out one extra hug than usual. Scanning the room her eyes rested on Kagato. Mihoshi's eyes narrowed as she began to think.*

"Don't I know you from somewhere?" Mihoshi questioned Kagato, but before he could respond Mihoshi realized exactly who he was. "Wait I know who you are! You're Washu's new boyfriend right!?!?!"

*As Mihoshi chattered on she failed to notice Ryoko face plant on the table right beside her*

// lmao at mihoshi! that was perfect!//

Ryoko got up, shaking her head at Mihoshi.
"Figures," she laughed," Well Tenchi theres my ghost!" Then she looked at Kiyone.
"Hows it goin?"

Kagato was feeling a tad bewildered. Last he had remembered, someone had been coming down to the lab, and Kagato was trying to pretend he had been looking at the tanks. Next thing he knew, he was stepping out of the lab, and everyone was looking confused at him. Just who had been coming into the lab? Kagato could not remember, and felt he was beginning to lose his mind.

He felt thankful that Washu had cleared up about him not being their Kagato quickly, but he was still bothered by the fact he seemed so similar to their Kagato. It was so much easier to back stab people when they weren't always glancing over their shoulder at you.

He watched as Mihoshi came in, and hugged everyone in turn, including himself. He then began counting. He had counted to 120 before Mihoshi gave signs of noticing something amiss, probably a new record for her. When she turned to him quizingly, he had signed knowing what was coming next.
Or at least, he had thought he knew what was coming next. He was surprised when she suggested he was having a romantic relationship with Washu, and expressed this in a dignified manner.

"WWWWHHHHHHHHAAAAAATTTTT!?!?!??!?!??! Do you even have a Single Brain Cell between you Interdimensional Selves?!?!?! Where Did that idea even come from?"
"Interdimensional? So you're from another dimension?" Asked Ryoko, picking up on this, a grin on his face.
In his head, Kagato shouted a long string of curses. On the outside he created a cloak of perfect deception.
"..... Maybe."

"Maybe huh......" Ryoko replied with a suspicious look on her face,"Well, Mayyybeeee
im not stupid! and just maybe i dont believe a damn word you say!"

Ryoko phased out and appeared next to Tenchi, grabbing his arm.
"I dont care who you are but you better stay away from Tenchi!"

"Oh Ryoko," Tenchi turned to her with a empathetic look on his face," Im sure this is all some crazy coincidence. Im
sure this Kagato has a perfectly reasonable explanation."

Ryoko was starting to feel really helpless, she could sense an evil energy coming off this man and it almost mirrored
the original Kagatos, why couldnt anyone else feel it?. Tenchi rubbed her upper back reassuringly, leaned in close and said under his breath, "Its ok Ryoko, I dont trust him completely
yet ether but for now i think we should play along.....dont you think?"

Ryoko was stunned. This was exactly what she needed to hear from him and she once again felt those powerful feelings of
love for him. Ryoko let go of Tenchi's arm, she was almost blushing from the amount of affection she had just received from
him and she didn't feel angry at all anymore.

"uhh yeh... thats a good idea." she whispered back, staring at him with stars in her eyes.
Ryoko phased next to Ayeka and still half stuck in the moment with tenchi, giggled like a school girl.
Ayeka just rolled her eyes.
"So Mr Kagato," inquired Ayeka with perfect composure (as a princess should),"Tell us your story then? I cant say
that so far I'm convinced ether."
