Cleaning the Day Away... [Open]

For the most part, between trying to spend time with the younger kids and her magic studies, Sasami has spent a lot of her time trying to clean up the massive tree-palace that was her first home. It didn't matter if she had help or not - she was enjoying it nonetheless.

It's been a month (maybe two? She can't readily tell) since she started and she had made some good progress with it. However, this latest round of cleaning had left her exhausted. Maybe if she hadn't trained beforehand... Nah, it was just tough, that's all.

Sasami flopped down on a chair to relax, letting out a sigh as she did. "Whew... and that's another one!" she said, letting Ryo-Ohki join her. "Hopefully, I can get this get this place looking much better than it was before!" She scratched the cabbit on her head. "Especially since I'm helping Hay Lin...!" The cabbit let out a meow as Sasami looked up in thought. "...I wonder if there's anything else I could do..."

Sasami had resumed her cleaning when she noticed someone else inside. It was nice to have someone else inside, but... acting like THEY owned the place?

"H-Hey! You can't act like that here!" Sasami protested.

Ben jerked, and blushed guiltily as he scrambled out of the chair. "Sorry! Didn't realize that this place was being kept up by someone."

Aw man, it was a kid too. Probably her parents were here too and this was probably someone's chair, someone important.

"Sorry."

Ben blinked. Wait what?

Sasami snorted a bit in annoyance. "I can't believe this... now I gotta..."

She blinked as she heard the warning... then started to step back, worried. After the incident with Karen, she had been more careful not to say who she was. Now...?

"Hey, sorry, it's okay really! I'm used to Alien life," called out Ben in a placating manner, worried she might bolt. Stupid Ultimatrix and it's timing.

"I think we got off on the wrong foot too. I'm Ben."

Sasami stopped before she could run. He didn't mind? Really? She reluctantly stood her ground.

"I'm Sasami. It's nice to meet you, Ben. Even if we started out wrong..."

"Yeah I'm sorry too. I didn't think anyone was here so I just had to sit down." He cast a glance at the throne and added, "That chair's REALLY comfy. I kinda envy the guy who gets to sit in that all day."

Sasami let out a chuckle. "That's my father's. The Emperor of Jurai's." she said, matter of factly.

She'd let Ben put two and two together.

FFFFF Emperor?! Holy crap.

"So you're a princess then," said Ben with a grin. "I've never really met a princess before..."

Right. Almost forgot about that. "Looks like my Ultimatrix wants to sample your DNA. It's obviously not in the database. You pest."

The Ultimatrix replied in an almost cheeky manner.

Sasami chuckled a bit. "Well, looks like you have now...!" Hearing the Ultimatrix chiming in with the message and what Ben had said, Sasami started worrying a bit.

"Sample my DNA? I-It's not going to hurt, is it?"

Ben chuckled as he stooped down to look Sasami directly in the eye. "No it won't hurt," he assured her. "There's no needles or anything involved. Just a yellow light."

"If you let it, I'll show you something cool?" offered Ben.

"Well..." Sasami said, letting out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. "...okay, then!"

Ben nodded. "It'll only take a second."

A yellow light shifted from it and played across Sasami from head to toe before it winked out. The device beeped rapidly before reporting

"Do it."

The Ultimatrix beeped once more and then it clicked to green as it displayed what appeared to be a humanoid in a vivid green outline.

"Okay, don't blink!" And Ben hit the plunger.

"Don't bli--" Sasami repeated before watching Ben hit the plunger and started his transformation.

"B-Ben?!"

Ben felt a curious sensation of slipping into a skin that wasn't his. His hair changed, but his basic form stayed mostly the same. No different or radical transformation. But there was something about it that made him feel more alive, like there was a newfound strength running through him.

When the flash from the transformation receded from the split second of change, he shook his head. "Wow, that felt really weird." Ben touched his throat. "What happened to my voice? And why do I look the same? Gee, I thought this would be a little different than normal."

Sasami blinked as the transformation finished and upon seeing Ben's new form...

"...Tenchi...?"

Ben blinked at that. The face he wore had a name?

Looking over in the nearby reflecting pool, he found his features to be mostly Asian, but there was a distinct something about it. He still retained his green eyes. "Wow... I don't look half bad. So Tenchi's the name of the guy I scanned? Must be pretty close genetics-wise if I was to assume his form."

Sasami nodded a bit. "Uh-huh. His grandfather was supposed to be next in line as Emperor, but he left Jurai before he could and stayed on Earth..."

It pretty much meant that, in some form, Sasami WAS related to Tenchi.

"Hmm..." Ben could tell that Sasami was worried for her family so he stooped down and patted her on the shoulder. "If it helps Sasami, now you're not alone anymore. I'm always a part-time alien. But if you'd like, I'll remain in this form for as long as you want. Sound good?"

"And I could show you some of my other forms, tell you of adventures..."

"Really? I..." Sasami said, a bit surprised at Ben's offer. A few moments later, she responded by wrapping her arms around Ben in a tight hug.

Well would you look at that. Sometimes Ben's sensitive side really did come out once in a while. He hugged her back and smiled a little. "Don't worry, we're all in this together. You don't have to continue hiding y'know."
