Ryoga was in hell. Everywhere he turned, more unspeakable dangers reared their ugly heads. He wondered if some cruel Kami was playing its idea of a practical joke on him.
The pig curse, he was able to adapt to, his sense of direction had turned into a training tool that made him stronger and faster. But this curse, this curse…it was too much to bear.
He silently cursed the capriciousness of fate. How was he supposed to know that wall he'd Bakusai Tenketsu'd was the wall to a nuclear plant? The radiation had taken its toll on his body, warping it, changing it.
And because of it, he was in danger of bleeding to death. Around every corner lurked a new danger, and he'd only stayed alive this long by being extremely cautious. He looked around him. The walls of the Tendo home! He had to get out of here before…
"Oh hello Ryoga! What are you doing in our back yard?" Akane asked, noting that the lost boy wasn't looking well. "Are you sick? You look as white as a sheet."
Ryoga silently cursed fate again before deciding he would at least go out happy. He turned to look at Akane. He lasted all of 2 seconds before his nose exploded in a fountaining spray of blood.
As the darkness came to take him, he vowed to find the Kami who thought it would be funny to give him permanent X-ray vision and administer some divine justice.
