Tenchi looked into the emerald green eyes of Washu, those pools of glistening light sparkled with lust and excitement. Looking into them, Tenchi felt mesmerized, like he was looking into a snake’s beady eyes. He could feel the strength go out of him as he went limp against Washu. No longer struggling, Washu threw him onto the bed and straddled his waist, Her big chest pressed against his own as she brought her face close to his and looked him eye to eye. Tenchi was sweating profusely as the excited 10,000-year-old scientist stared him down. With her knowledge and intelligent, Tenchi had always felt on edge around her. As though he was only a mortal man and she was some mythical Goddess, but that would be ridicules.

“Why did you stop fighting, I was having a little fun?” Washu asked whist she turned her head in a cute inquisitive way. Tenchi gulped nervously and fought to find his voice.

“I don’t like fighting with you Washu. You’re my friend and a close one at that,” he nervously told her while he wiggled under her body. Washu attentively placed a hand on his shoulders, keeping him pinned to the bed. She had the boy where she wanted him and refused to give him up.

“Then don’t fight, be not just my friend, but also my baby.” Tenchi lessened to her and could sense the need dripping off her words. She didn’t want him for something, she had a genuine need for him that she had to have. Tenchi suddenly felt guilty for putting Washu on the spot, his fear and refusal was hurting her and he had been too blind to see it. Behind the lusty looks and the flirting, Washu was aching for something that only Tenchi could satisfy.

“Washu, why do you want me as your baby?” He still had no idea what being her baby impelled, but it mattered a lot to her, so he should at least hear her out.

“Other then the pleasure and fun?” Washu smirked. Tenchi remained unresponsive. Some how he felt that this went beyond the usual for Washu. This wasn’t about ‘samples’ or teasing, this was much more important and he wanted to get to the bottom of it.

“You want the full truth?” Washu sighed as she rolled off Tenchi and lied beside him. Tenchi turned his head to look at Washu’s face and saw her lost in contemplation. He could run away now that Washu was off him, but something made him stay. Maybe it was the lost look in her eyes or his concern for her well being. Whatever prompted him to stay made him listen as Washu explained herself.

“You’ll never understand what it feels like to carry a life because you’re a man. Every woman has the unconscious urge to create and hold life. I’m afraid to create a life inside me because the last time that happened, he got taken away from me. I want to feel someone inside me, but I don’t want to have the fear of losing them at the same time. I’m not omnipotent, I can’t control the universe or see what the future might be, but one thing I have no doubts about is that I’ll always have you. You’re loyal to a fault and I love you for it. You may not be my real child, but you’re closer then I’m ever going to get.” Washu’s voice started to break as she finished and when she was done, she went completely quiet.

“Does that make me selfish, wanting you to replace someone I lost over a hundred millenniums ago?” Washu asked to herself more then Tenchi. Even if the question was for her, Tenchi was the one that answered it. He leaned over Washu and brought his lips to her forehead. He lightly pecked her on the top of the head and returned back to lying down beside her. Washu turned to look at him and wore a look of confusion on her face.

“Yah, you’re a little selfish, but if you weren’t then you wouldn’t be the same Washu I know and love.” Washu started to get misty eyed and with that, they embraced and the held each other for a long minute. Neither spoke nor breathed, they just enjoyed this perfect moment together, in each other’s arms and completely alone.
