"Many thousands of years ago, there was a very powerful warrior
who traveled from country to country challenging all the best fighters
he could find. He was searching for a man who could defeat him. Someone
who would provide him with a reason to better his skills, a reason to
live.
Lancelot?
The shopkeeper opened his eyes and turned his eyes
two uses of 'eyes' close together. I'd change the second to 'attention'
"What the hell did that story have to do with this potion!"
The shopkeeper turned to him, and after closing his eyes again,
spoke calmly. "Absolutely nothing."
Heh. Cute
The shopkeeper checked the broken glass in his hands. "I am
very sure sir.
sure, sir.
Ryoga stopped and turned to him. "Yeah, what is it this time?"
"That will be ten thousand yen for the merchandise you broke."
Nice to see he didn't lose his focus on the important matter on hand. ^_^
Ryoga nodded slowly. "Yeah, what's it to you?"
Kuno closed his eyes and put his fingers to his chin. "Very
well, Ryoga, wandering warrior,"
He opened his eyes and shouted with full force "Ryoga I shall
DATE WITH YOU."
Oh dear.
Kuno would have none of it, however. "Why do you persist upon
hiding what we have? I realize that you feel it is special and private
but can you not see that it is so perfect that we must shout it out to
the world? I am not afraid to show my true feelings, neither should
you, my love!"
This is bad.
Akane slowly walked up to Ryoga. "Ryoga... I... I had no idea
you were... that way. I mean, you were always so manly, fighting with
Ranma, bickering with Ranma, spending time... with... Oh my God! It all
makes sense now."
That's what I've always contended. Now, of course, it's time for Ranma to
confess his feelings for Ryouga.
Ryoga paused for a moment and tried to ignore the way Kuno was
touching him in places he didn't want to be touched in order to let the
words Akane spoke sink in. A few moments later, he turned an even
brighter shade of red.
"No! Akane, you have to believe me! It's not like that between
me and Ranma. I hate him!"
In that 'Love/Hate way' :)
Ryoga felt a flodd
flood
of relief.
"Even if you are... that way."
Time for Ryouga to prove his manliness by taking Akane then and there.
Mousse was currently trying to extricate himself from the
remains of what used to be an oncoming car as Shampoo sped away in her
bycicle.
bicycle
"Shampoo, wait for me I... I... I've had it with you!"
And there was much rejoicing on Shampoo's behalf, which was unfortunate as
she wasn't watching where she was going and got run over by a steamroller.
But at least she died happy.
Shampoo froze in shock. Exactly two seconds later, she regained
her composure and bounded off in search of Ranma, saying something
about how duck boy had snapped and they could finally have a future
together.
And then got run over by the steamrollar.
Mousse turned to Ryoga, who was _trying_ to quietly slink away
but failing miserably as he was crawling around in circles. Ryoga
quickly found himself surrounded by chains with hearts, chocolates, and
little Sailormoon action figures stuck to their ends.
Gee, at least he's trying a different tact with catching Ryouga's interest.
Mousse pulled Ryoga to his side and turned a little, allowing
his glasses to glint as it caught a ray of sunlight. "Come, my love.
Let us travel to China where we can live together in peace away from
all the troubles here in Nerima!"
Ryouga, though sorely tempted, decided the price of becoming gay was too
great.
Ryoga looked around. By now, most of the students had already
arrived. Nabiki was videotaping the event for posterity. Akane was
shouting to him about how it was okay even if his sexual preferences
were a bit more masculine than she had previously thought. Ranma was no
where to be found.
Trying hard to resist his attraction to Ryouga too?
"For the last time, Konatsu. I've already done my laundry, I'm
done brushing my teeth, I already took a bath, and _no_ I most
certainly do _not_ need any help scrubbing my back!" Ukyo was running
like her life depended on it, Konatsu hot on her heels.
"But Mistress Kuonji, you forgot your bento!" Konatsu
produced a bento box with little ribbons and hearts decorating it.
Becoming a tad aggressive, is he? It was my understanding he was usually
more passive (like that makes a difference in this fic. :))
'At least it's a pretty girl,' he thought to himself as Konatsu
unleashed his Crimson Storm attack, pelting him with kisses.
Heh
"I'm not sure, sugar. But if you say so, I guess I could learn
to adjust to how Ryoga's... that way."
"Maybe I can get Konatsu willing to share him in a three-way," Ukyou
carefully considered.
Ryoga watched with fascination as all three combatants were
blown away in a giant blast coming from Ranma's hands.
At last, Ranma has made his choice. ^_^
"I can make you happy you
happy, you
Ranma moved his (or her, if you prefer) head towards Ryoga's,
and puckered his lips. Ryoga closed his eyes and hoped for the best.
Just as their lips were about to meet, the door slammed open.
"There he is, I
is. I
"Why do you run from me, my love? Can't you see how much I love
thee?"
"Ryoga, get your ass over here or you're bacon, you hear me?"
"Come with me to China where we can consumate our desires
without interruptions!"
"Kunoichi Special Delaying Tactic: Crimson Storm!"
Hehehehehe.
Ryoga looked back at his pursuers, and
don't think you need that comma
Ryoga awoke in his tent the next morning. 'Whew,' he thought.
'It was only a dream.' He paused to scratch his back. 'Man, that fur's
itchy... WHA!' Ryoga turned to look at his side, where a panda held
up a sign reading, "Was it as good for you as it was for me?"
_<
Now that was sick.
Amusing for a silly one shot.
