Darkness

   It was a beautiful day. A figure could be clearly
seen on the horizon staring at the rising sun. His
hearts was full of sadness. The sunshine brought him
no joy, only the feeling that now he had lived to see
another miserable day.   His name was Ryoga Hibiki.
The truth that had been hidden for so long was
revealed. Ranma didn't say a thing it was just an
oddly placed bucket of water and Akane's attention at
the wrong moment. Now she knew, and she hated him,
Akane hated him and  banished from her house screaming
and yelling. He couldn't fight against her. He
couldn't. He ran for a while, until he was so lost, so
lost no one would ever find him.  Akari... he thought
of her for a minute she seemed to love him but... with
his sense of direction he could never find her.
Looking for her would be a foolish thing to do.  He
never realized he was crying until he felt the warm
trickle down his cheek.  The sunrise, the rose hues
and deep violets. He would never see it again. 
Everything was explained in the note. Yes there was
pain as he drove the old cooking knife into his chest,
but soon the pain was gone, the world was gone.
   A cloaked figure watched as bandanna wearing boy
stabbed himself. Then stifled a giggle as the blood
spurted out his chest. All those feeling, all that
energy all coming to a climax. As soon as Ryoga's body
fell. The cloaked figure let out a long cackle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Darkness.. darkness... darkness........" She cried
out in a hoarse voice. She had no idea what time it
was, what month or year. She had no eyes in which see.
 But she knew she wasn't in a pleasant place. She
could feel the ropes chaffing at her ankles and
wrists, she knew their were rats scurrying over her
body, the coldness, the dampness and the stone floor
under her body. The air around her smelled of terrible
things blood, human filth, and  rotting food.  The
only thing she could hear was the steady sound of
water dripping into a pool somewhere. Darkness, all
was darkness and always been darkness. No, once she
knew light. But no he had brought the darkness.  She
should never have. He came to her, sometimes, he give
her food and water, but he wasn't coming as often now
and that light tingling feeling in her body wouldn't
go away. She was glad he didn't come, he gave her
darkness he'd hurt her, cut her, hit her, burn her. He
had burned away most of her hair just to hear her
scream once. And also he'd.... he'd.... do
something..... he'd violate her.... and more darkness
would come. She'd felt as if he was taking more bits
of her soul... her energy. There had always been
darkness. Always darkness. No, no! NO!
   Once she was strong, so strong so calm. She thought
she was a good judge of character... but then she'd
never guess his secret. She wished she had never found
this place.... the place that smelled of rotting meat
and blood. Never found him there.  Never  wrote him
off as other sick crackpot. Never threatened to
blackmail him. That was all in the past and it seemed
so, so far away. She had brought the darkness on
herself, the oblivion, the darkness.... ...if only if
only... She tired to remember her name... it should be
so simple a name....her name.... It
was-something...yes, Nabiki that was it... she was
once a girl named Nabiki Tendo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Mousse could hear her crying.  He felt disgusted,
with himself. How could he do that to his Shampoo? How
could he even think of doing it? She hadn't been the
same lately. Ever since Ranma, had married Akane. He
would have thought it would be a blessing that Shampoo
would finally love him and they could move back to
China. No, Shampoo made attempts to get her 'Arien'
back. And she had failed miserably, being kicked out
the Tendo Dojo, naked he had seen her crying. Then
there was that night She and Cologne were talking, for
a long time, a long serious talk. After that Cologne
left for China, alone.
   Shampoo had changed, the bubbly, chirpy girl, was
gone. She was always depressed now, expect when she
was drinking. Shampoo drinking, he didn't like to
think about it.  She had started drinking all because
of Ranma's rejection! He had tried to stay away from
her when she was drinking, it broke his heart to see
her in that state. But she had fallen over. She was
flat on her face.
"Shampoo are  you okay?" He asked her.

"Shampoo justish fine. No needish dumb duck-boyish
help." She slurred her face flushed bright red from
drinking, she pushed him away lightly.

"Shampoo, please you have got to stop this, its
destroying you." Mousse said.

"I'm fine, duckbosyish no tell Ssshampoo what to do!"

"Please Shampoo," Mousse was speaking in Chinese. "I
love you."

   She laughed at him she laughed in his face. And she
spoke to him in Chinese. "Your a fool Msu-Tsu, I never
loved you. Look at you begging at my feet like a
dog... duck boy. Can't you act like a real man for
once? No, you always squawking about like the idiot
bird you are. I never love you and I could never love
you ....."

Mousse had no idea where all this venom came from, 
she had never said such cruel things to him. He wanted
to do something, he wanted to cry. Then She started
laughing again, laughing in his face. A harsh, drunken
laugh.  He couldn't stand it. He smacked her. She
stumbled for a second a shocked looked on her face.
"I'm sorry Shampoo, I don't know what came over me!"
He cried.

She laughed again.  She revert back to japanese.
"Duck-boy not even hit Shampoo hard, and he had to
apologize like fffool he ish.....You want to hurt
Ssshampoo? Well, you just try it...."

   What happened next, wasn't right. It wasn't good.
He hit her as hard he could, and she fell. She tired
to fight back, but her coordination was horrible and
the alcohol made her slow, and she didn't even seem to
take the fight seriously she was laughing the whole
time. She stumbled and she couldn't get up.  Bitch!
Didn't care about him form day one. He thought.
Arrogant, he'd show her. So it happened, she was to
drunk to move really, and he wad to angry to care what
he did to her only that she was getting what she
deserved... he was getting what he wanted for all
those lonely  years she was his whether she liked or
not!    After he realized what he did Mousse, felt
like throwing up. Treating the one person he loved
like that! Though he now knew she wasn't perfect. Why
had he done that? She didn't deserve it. That odd
cloaked figure in the restaurant that night, who
didn't order anything.... Mousse paced the hallways.
He peered into Shampoo's room she looked up. He
waited. She'd kill him, rip his heart out, that would
it. She didn't, she just looked at him with tear
reddened eyes, and continued crying as if he wasn't
even there.
