A Ghost Free to Love
Prologue
Ryoga's Victory
By Kazuma20
Arc One: Retribution
Ranma Saotome age seventeen a resident of the town of Nerima for a year and six months before that he traveled with his father to be thought the Saotome School of Anything Goes School Martial Arts. His fiancee or should I say fiancees are Akane Tendo, Ukyo Kuonji, and the Amazon Shampoo. And Ranma has powerful enemies ranging from Ryoga to Saffron. Whom he killed three months ago. They say that all go things come to those who wait but to Ranma Saotome this is ridiculous.
It was mid-afternoon before dusk and Ranma was on his way home from getting hit by Akane. Since the Failed Wedding Ukyo and Shampoo had stopped harassing him since he was still mad at them for crashed the wedding and endangered innocence people with their food bombs. He was a little furious with Nabiki for inviting them in the first place then Ryoga and Mouse came to get the Nannichuan for they're own. Mr. Tendo kept it away from him and used it over his head just so Ranma could marry Akane. Then to make matters worst Happosai had to drink the cure for his curse when he thought it was sake'.
Ranma made it back to the Tendo Dojo mumbling to himself about uncut tomboys after he saved her life at Mount Phoenix at least she could be a little nicer to him. Ranma headed to the area between the house and the Dojo to practice.
That was when Ryoga appeared he dropped his backpack on the ground. Akane came out to give Ranma more of what was on her mind. When she saw that Ryoga was there.
"Ranma I finally came to claim my revenge on you for what happened to Amia." announced Ryoga.
"What! It is not my fault she is dead. You should blame the bastard who killed her." replied Ranma.
Akane didn't know what Ranma and Ryoga were talking about.
"Ranma you were they're to protect her when I wasn't around. How could you let that happen?"
"I was foolish to let him get that close to her. But we both loved her. If you were there to help me and not lost she would be alive."
Akane was listed as them rest of the came to see what was going on. Akane was shocked at what she heard from them both.
" Fine let's battle it out for once and for all, But I will have my revenge even if you didn't kill her. The terms are this: If you win, I would never bother you again and will tell Akane my other secret. If I win, then you will break this engagement with Akane and leave Nerima. Do you accept these terms?"
"Yes." replied Ranma.
Ranma dodged a flurry of punches from Ryoga before feinting to the right and kicking the fanged martial artist. The blow hit him directly on his back, the force enough to send him through the wall and onto the street outside the house the Tendo backyard they had been fighting in. Ranma dropped into a stance as Ryoga quickly recovered from the hit, brushing himself off as he stood up.
Ryoga charged at Ranma, enraged that he hadn't gotten a single good hit in so far and kept punching at him with all his might he got more depressed that he couldn't hit him.
Ranma dodged a left straight punch then he grabbed Ryoga by the collar of his shirt, Ranma moved to throw him over his shoulder into a wall.
Ryoga was ready for it this time, however, and reversed the throw. Flipping through the air and rebounding off the wall, Ranma jumped high into the air, preparing to launch a kick at Ryoga on his way down.
Ryoga saw the move coming and jumped into the air to meet him. The two exchanged blows for a few seconds before dropping back down, turning quickly back to each other.
Akane and the rest of the family that came at the sound of battle watched from the side lines as Ranma accepted Ryoga deal. It was on honor and they know that Ranma held honor above anything else. They really didn't think that Ranma could lose to Ryoga.
"Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken!" Ryoga tried to block as many of Ranma's punches as he could, but a lot of them still got through. Dazed from the attack, he never saw the flying kick Ranma launched at him. He paid dearly for his mistake, flying ten feet through the air and landing roughly on the street below.
'Now's my chance!' Ranma rushed at Ryoga to take advantage of the vulnerable state his opponent was in.
Ranma once again jumped high into the air, charging up his Ki for a final attack that would hopefully end the match in his favor.
'I win, Saotome'
Using the desperation of his situation to fuel a huge amount of depression Ki, Ryoga charged up for his own final attack.
"Moko Takabisha!"
"Shi Shi Hokodan"
Both attacks canceled each other out but the backlash of energy was too much for Ryoga or Ranma to take and Ranma and Ryoga were sent fling backwards the both hit the opposite sides of the street. Ryoga hit the wall first and it crashed down on him.
Ranma flow out the back into the yard and wall he hit it with a little more force and was effectively knocked out by the force and the weight of the demolished wall that fell on him. Ryoga pulled himself out of his hole and looked at the one Ranma made and smiled that he finally claimed victory over Ranma. 'Now I can finally put it in the past.' he thought.
The Tendo's and Genma were shocked that Ranma lost the fight. They dug Ranma out from the rubble. They carried Ranma to the guest room. So he could wake up. Soun and Genma finally broke down crying for different reasons. Soun was because the schools will never be joined. And Genma well he lost his chance at retiring on the boys money when he will marry a Tendo. They left him there and went to the living room where they had left Ryoga.
They all sat down as Ryoga told his story of how his girlfriend died in Ranma's hand. He told the tale of it. The Tendo's were shocked they couldn't blame Ranma for what happen to the girl. And nether could. They blame Ryoga since they knew about the sense of direction. It was too sad a story to hear.
Some time during Ryoga's story Ranma woke up he listen from the top of the stairs while he quickly wrote a note too ever one present in the house. He also wrote a separate note to Ryoga. After he finished, he headed to the guest room packed up all his maiger belongings into two backpacks took some scrolls from his father. Before he left, he dropped the two notes on the desk and jumped out the window. He bounced from roof top to rooftop as he got farther away from the Tendo Dojo.
Kasumi went to check and see if Ranma was up from his injuries. She mad her way up stairs and slid open the door to the guest room hoping to see Ranma up and about all she found was an empty room with two pieces of paper on the desk.
Kasumi made her way to the desk and picked them up. She read one and when she finished she was nearly in tears. Kasumi made her way down stairs and entered the living room and handed Nabiki the two notes.
Nabiki read one out load. "It states: (Dear Tendo Family: I am leaving. I lost the fight to Ryoga only by luck. We made a deal on honor and I intend to keep it. To Mr. Tendo sorry I could help you join the schools. To Kasumi you were like my older sister and I'll miss you take care of yourself Kasumi get married and have a family of your own. To Nabiki the 'Ice Queen of Furikan High' I hope you do well in your life to you will probably secede at anything that involves money with it. To my fiancee' Akane Tendo. There's a western saying 'If you love something you should set it free. If it comes back, it's your's. And if it doesn't it was never meant to be.' To my mother Nodoka I love you too, mom you missed so much of my life, but when you were with me you were kind and a gentle woman you were the best mother this martial artiest could have hoped for. The last person on the list my father Genma Saotome you were the best martial art's instructor I could have hoped for. But I hope you rot in hell for the Neko-ken and Jusenkyo old man. And Finally to everyone else as of this moment. The engagements with the Tendo's, Kuonji's, and the Chinese Amazons are here and forevermore null and void.-----------Sincerely, Ranma Saotome Student of the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts.) And that's all oh and there's a note from Ranma to you Ryoga." Nabiki finished and Son and Genma broke down crying again as they got the sake' and got drunk wallowed in self pity.
"For me?" asked Ryoga. He took the note from Nabiki and read it to himself. (Dear Ryoga: You were my friend and greatest rival we had some of the best fights huh? Well this is goodbye my friend, but I well come back to beat you so you better keep training.------------Your Friend, Ranma Saotome. P.S. Amia would not have like that the two people she loved too fight over her death like this.) Ryoga broke down in tears as he finished the note.
To Be Continued...
Author's Note: Well this is the end of this chapter I have to thank Bambi Star9 for letting me write it. And I hope you like it, Because when I was writing the notes sorry had something in my eye. I personally like a good Romance story with a little action I know it may sound weird for a guy to say that, but I find that the best stories are unrequited love like Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Well that's my take. Kazuma20 signing out.
