My first post to the FFML *cringes and hold her hands in the "go
away, bringer of pain" position.* Go easy on me -.-; Now lets begin shall
we?
Temptation: The Devil From Ryoganzowa
Part 1
[Deep within the fog filled forest of Ryoganzowa, silence fills
the normally noisy air. The silence is broken by the sound of bubbling
water. The scene switches to the inside of a dark cave where a spring
bubbles up from the ground. A gyser of water shoots up from the spring.
The scene switches to the out side of the cave. The sound of hidious
laughter can be heard.]
[A small cottage within the forest. We see a boy dressed in blue
holding a broom, kneeling down near the side of the cottage beside a small
tombstone that has "Grandfater" engraved on it.]
Shinnosuke: I'm sorry my visit has to be cut short grandfather but the
forest grows silent. Something is wrong, it needs me.
[The boy leaps to his feet and runs into the forest. He trudges through
the fog until a noise catches his ear. He stops and tilts his head,
listening. Silence. He begins to walk again until he hears the same
noise.]
Shinnosuke: Who's there?
Voice: The one who holds the key to your dreams.
Shinnosuke: Show yourself!
Voice: I cannot do that. Not yet. Not until I can trust you.
Shinnosuke: Who are you?
Voice: I have many names young one.
Shinnosuke: What do you want from me?
Voice: A small favor. If you agree to help me I shall fix your little
problem.
Shinnosuke: What problem? And what type of favor?
Voice: Full of questions. *Laughs seductivly* Well I know about your
little memory problem. I can relieve you of that.. for a price.
Shinnosuke: I'll accept, however you must show yourself first.
Voice: Agreed.
[A figure steps from the fog, dressed entirely in black. The figure
appears to be a woman with long hair. As she gets closer her wings and
tail can be seen, along with small horns protruding from her temples. Her
skin is tinted a light red, other than those atributes, she is stunningly
beautiful.]
Devil: Will you help me?
Shinnosuke: *Stares into the devils pleading eyes.* Y-yes.
Devil: *Grins wickedly* Wonderful, then you will have your memory. In my
restoration, you will also regain those memories you have lost.
[The woman slowly walks up to Shinnosuke and puts her hands on his
shoulders. She stand on the balls of her feet and kisses him on the
forehead. Shinnosuke's eyes shoot open as his mind is flooded by his lost
memories. The devil smiles slightly and steps back as he falls to his
knees grabbing his head.]
Shinnosuke: *Muttering* Akane.. I love you.
Devil: Now for your part of the deal.. What is your name boy?
Shinnosuke: *Stands up* Shinnosuke.
Devil: Alright then. Shinnosuke, I require your services.
[Shinnosuke stiffens and stares forward unblinking. The devil raises her
left hand and snaps her fingers, becoming a plume of purple smoke. The
smoke encircles Shinnosuke and then enters his ears. His eyes close
tightly as the last of the smoke enters his body. He shakes his head
violently then his eyes snap open.. his eyes glow red, and he smiles
wickedly then begins to laugh.]
Shinnosuke: Akane Tendo eh? You services will be more useful then I
thought. *Yelling* Prepare to meet your end Tendos!
[The scene switches to another part of the forest where a familiar looking
boy stumbles through the fog waring black pants and a yellow shirt. He
leans against a tree and sighs.]
Ryoga: Where on Earth am I now?!?
[Ryoga tenses as he notices he is being watched. He spins his head around
to see Shinnosuke walking towards him.]
Ryoga: I remember you.. This must be Ryoganzowa.
Shinnosuke: Yes it is. Hello again pig boy.
Ryoga: Pig boy?!? You jerk, how dare you call me that.. wait a minute..
I thought you had a bad memory.
Shinnosuke: He did, until he met me?
Ryoga: What the hell are you talking about?
Shinnosuke: Allow me to show you.
[Shinnosuke drops to his knees and becomes engulfed by a cloud of purple
smoke. The smoke whisps around in a circle for a while before solidifying
into a woman. Ryoga stares in shock.]
Ryoga: W.. what?
[As Shinnosuke begins to regain consciousness, the Devil reaches into her
pocket and pulls out some purple dust then blows it into his eyes. He
falls limply to the ground in a deep sleep.]
Ryoga: Y.. you ki.. killed him!
Devil: No, he will awaken soon enough. Now as to why he remembers you, I
restored his memory, and gave him a stronger one.
Ryoga: H.. how?
Devil: Its rather easy actually. I can help you with your little problems
too.
Ryoga: In exchange for what?
Devil: Well in exchange, all I ask is to be able to use your body until I
finish my quest. It will take no more than a month.
Ryoga: And you will cure me of my curse?
Devil: Yes, completely. And I'll even give you some direction sense as a
bonus. *Smiles seductivly*
Ryoga: I consent..
Devil: Wonderful!
[The devil walks to Ryoga and kisses him on the forehead. His nose
instantly begins to bleed. He falls to his knees as the curse is lifted
from his body.. and a sense of direction takes root in his brain.]
Ryoga: *Muttering* Akane, I will be a whole man for you.
Devil: Akane? This is turning out to be my lucky day. I shall have my
revenge for the years I've spent stuck in this forest!
[The devil grins and snaps her finger, turning into the cloud of smoke. It
engulfs Ryoga and seeps into his body through his ears. Ryoga's eyes pop
open, revealing a shade of red. He grins and stands up, dusting himself
off. He picks up the still unconscious Shinnosuke and carries him
piggy-back style through the woods.]
Ryoga: Perhaps you shall be useful with your ties to this Akane Tendo. On
to Nerima!
[As Ryoga leaps through the woods, a small figure jumps down from a tree.
The figure watches Ryoga's back disappear on the horizon. The figure steps
into the light, revealing himself as Happosai.]
Happosai: I've really done it this time. Oh well, this will be great
training for Ranma. Besides, she is one pretty lady. *Hentai grin* Ah
well, no sense wasting the night. Off to work.
[He ties a black cloth around his head and then bounds off towards the
closest village.]
