A Lonely Destiny



A Ranma 1/2-Darkness Bringer Trilogy Crossover



by



Kitsune



    A young woman opened the door to the 24 hour diner and went to a table. 
She looked around and saw the place was remarkably clean for a city-type 
diner. The young woman had a look of sadness in her eyes and seemed quite 
depressed.

    She looked up as the waitress approached and said , "I'll have a burger 
, fries , and a gallon of green tea please."

    "I'll be right back with your order." , the waitress said.

    The young woman's interest was caught as a song played throughout the 
diner.

    She knew this song.

    It was "I Am The Wind".

    'That song , it describes me well.' , she thought.

~Just like the wind,
I've always been
Drifting high up in the sky that never ends~

    'Always drifting. And always alone. Forever so alone.'

~Through thick and thin,
I always win
'Cause I would fight both life and death to save a friend~

    'I tried , but I failed.'

~I face my destiny every day I live
And the best in me is all I have to give~

    'Sometimes it's not enough though.'

~Just like the sun (Just like the sun)
When my day's done
Sometimes I don't like the person I've become~

    'I do not like the person I have become now.'

    She wrung her hands together.

    'Will I ever be able to wash all the blood off? How can I atone for 
what I've done?'

~Is the enemy within a thousand men?
Should I walk the path if my world's so dead ahead?~

    'It is dead ahead. It has been dead for SO long. But I have no choice in 
it.'

~Is someone testing me every day I live?
Well, the best in me is all I have to give~

    'Is someone testing me? If so , why? Why would they torment me like 
this.'

~I can pretend (I can pretend)
I am the wind (I am the wind)
And I don't know if I will pass this way again~

    'I will pass this way again , but will the city still be here or just 
will it be an empty grassland?'

~All things must end
Goodbye, my friend~

    A tear slid down the girl's right cheek. She looked like she was about 
to burst into tears. 'Goodbye. I'm always saying goodbye. I see them when 
they are born and when they die again.'

~Think of me when you see the sun or feel the wind~

    'The sun.' , thought the girl with a sadness , longing , and an ache in 
her heart. 'Will I ever see it again? I would give anything to see it just 
once more.'

~I am the wind,
I am the sun
And one day we'll all be one~

    'How I look forward to that day.' , thought the girl. 'Then I can 
finally rest. My quest will be over.'

~I am the wind,
I am the sun
And one day we'll all be one

**INSTRUMENTAL SOLO**

I am the wind,
I am the sun
And one day we'll all be one

I am the wind,
I am the sun
One day we'll all be one

(Repeat to end)~

    The girl went to the restroom and broke down crying. 'Father , Nabiki , 
Akane , Ranma , Ryoga , Genma , Nodoka please forgive me! I didn't mean to 
, I didn't know what I was doing with that box - I just didn't understand! I 
didn't mean to let the demons loose and have civilization destroyed and the 
earth enshrouded in darkness for eternity! I didn't mean to let the evil 
loose in our world to feed on our despair! I didn't mean to get you all 
killed then!!!'

    She kept sobbing until the waitress knocked on the door and said her 
order was ready. She mumbled out that she would be right there , then dried 
her eyes and washed her face.

    She opened the door and stepped out into the diner. She saw her meal on 
the table. And with that to the table , and her meal too , walked Kasumi 
The Immortal , Kasumi The Adventurer , Kasumi The Swordswoman , Kasumi 
Despairing One , Kasumi ... Darkness Bringer.



A.N. : I'm aware that some of you might not have heard of the 'Darkness 
Bringer trilogy' sci-fi/fantasy series. That's because the series was out of 
viewing many years ago. I saw it when I was a kid and I'm 30 now. In the 
series , a young girl (in her teens) accidently opens a cursed artifact box 
that lets a wave of demons loose in her world , which destroy civilization. 
The girl is cursed by the gods to be immortal , hunt the demons , and lock 
them in the box again. People have been reduced to the stoneage and a large 
black whatever of darkness covers the world. The darkness shall not be 
lifted until the demons are caught again. The girl sees civilization rebuilt 
over the centuries , then it collaspes and is rebuilt again. Even 1,000,000 
years later she still lives and humanity has just 'discovered' electricity 
in the last couple of decades. The girl is also cursed with having her 
friends , family , and her true love reincarnated time after time again. She 
knows when they will be born and she goes there to see them. She is there 
when they die too. As part of the cruel punishment decreed by the gods , 
they can never remember their past lives or what they were once to her 
either , but she can.

Special thanks to my very Cool pre-reader Asgeras for going over this and 
pointing where some corrections were needed.
