   He never understood her. How could he? It was like
they lived in two different worlds. He had always been
the outcast, kicked and punched by everyone. she had
pride she was the great-daugther of Cologne. She had
to win,  she had to win him. He was hers by tribal
law. He should have loved her. No, he didn't that was
the harsh truth. She had tried one last time to seduce
him, coming to him her Airen her husband, naked,
tempting, it was a last ditch. And she was rejected,
firmly and truly sent out of the house. With the words
of  'I never loved you!' ringing in her ears.
Great-grandmother, then had that talk. Saying that
Shampoo had many chances this was her chance and she
blew it. No more, help from great-grandmother. She
could never return to the village, never go home an
exile in Japan.  Now, nothing mattered, Ranma didn't
want her and she could never go home. It didn't matter
that Mousse raped her. She felt on  some level she
deserved it. If she hadn't so weak, so foolish. He
would have never dared. He stood watching her, and for
once he said nothing. There was nothing to say, only
the still air in the room and darkness caused by a
passing shadow. Darkness was everywhere. And the
figure cloaked form head to toe in a black robe, the
one she saw that night, Ranma rejected her. The one in
the restaurant that night Mousse had raped her.  Meant
something. Mousse looked at her he opened his mouth
about to speak, then closed it without saying a word. 
A question hung in the silence. Was there something
growing in her? A child, a mark of shame. Neither of
them knew and neither of them asked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Ranma shook his head, he couldn't believe the news.
He knew about Ryoga's moods, but this, this was
terrible. Ranma never really wanted Ryoga to be
discovered, it was just amusing to Ranma to see Ryoga
squirm. That day however someone, had placed that
bucket on that faulty ladder when it fell, and when
Akane saw it. Nothing Ranma could say could change the
fact. Ryoga disappeared after that. And shortly after
that Ranma and Akane got married. Ranma had no idea,
he never thought anything like this would happen.
Suicide? No, never. Ranma approached the Dojo.

"What is it Ranma?"   Akane asked

"Its about Ryoga."

"I don't want to hear that name! I told you not to
mention that creep around me! After what he did
deceiving me for all that time....I-"

"Akane, he killed himself."

"He what?!"

"Yes, Akane he killed himself."

"Oh my god....I never thought he'd take it that
bad..."

"Akane its not your fault, he was always depressed."

Akane began to cry. Ranma went over and held her. Her
head pressing against his chest . She was so soft ,
tender  and so warm the shield over her emotions came
down.
"First.....Nabiki disappears then this.... Ryoga's
dead.... everything just seems to be falling
apart...."

"It's okay, It's okay..."  Ranma said, comforting
Akane.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Kodachi thought she knew darkness. She had called
herself the black rose been cruel to accomplish her
ambitions. Never let anyone kin or kith stand in her
way.  She never knew the truth until she looked into
his eyes. And she saw the void gaping before her,
endless hunger. She could have been another one of his
victims. Or she could have ended up like her brother
but no. She became his servant.  His shadow writhed
and squirmed, it seemed to live. He was cold and
precise.  He didn't look like much at first glance.
Those who knew him, wouldn't know him when he drank
their energy feeding on it, and it oozed from him, all
the anger, and sadness he craved. Women would weep in
his wake and men who start brawls for no reason. Those
who knew him before, like that mindless, disfigured,
blind wretch... once a woman..nothing now. Her darling
Ranma underestimated him.  Darling Ranma, the phrase
made her laugh. For she didn't care about Ranma. In
fact she hated him, he had left her for Akane Tendo.
   All men even her master were weak, after all he was
human, he had a heart beating in his chest and she
knew he breathed. And he dreamed, he'd wake up
screaming from his dreams. He talked in his sleep,
always begging for forgiveness for his crimes. The
next day, or night he'd be the same. Feed on the same
lot of streetwalkers, vagrants and others who nobody
gave a damn about. They'd only with stand a few hours
of torture and anguish, before they were drained. In
that room were the bodies piled up. Kodachi thought he
wasted his time. Someone like him who could eat the
blackness in men's souls and then use it as his own
power. Shouldn't be going around killing the dregs of
society. Someone like him, should be taking down
people with real strength like the Nermia Martial
artists.  He flinched ever so slightly when she
mentioned the name Akane. She still ate away at his
heart It was evidence her master still had a heart,
that he had not ripped the useless thing out of chest,
and flung it away.  It must have been one of the few
reasons he kept that Nabiki Tendo  creature alive.
Yes, Ranma would soon pay, all of them would pay. She
would get vengeance and her master.. he would get so
much more powerful and all those dreams would be
gone....
