Dragon Curse
By: Dara Wulf
The soft ground shifted slightly under his paws as he dropped into a crouch. His long white fangs gleamed brightly in the pale moonlight as his deep blue eyes locked on his target like gun sights. Ever so slightly he leaned forward, the thick muscles beneath his black and blue stripped skin twitched with anticipation. The pale opal colored scales on his chest scrapped against the ground. He let out a low grural growl then pounced on his unsuspecting prey, a young teenage girl with short blue black hair and big brown eyes. She let out a startled yelp as the dragon like beast landed on top of her, his fangs poised over her neck.
"Get off me Ranma it's not funny." She said as she shoved against the beast's heavily armored chest. Ranma moved his head back with a low growl before jumping of and doing a tail chasing twirl. He stopped and allowed his fur tipped tail to lie over his nose in an adorable manor. The pupils in his eyes widened, giving him an innocent appearance. She stood up and shook her head. "Really Ranma, if there was a world record for the worst luck in history you'd have it."
He let out a low dragon chuckle. And we'd have money so we wouldn't be running around this mountain trying to find something that doesn't exist. He sobered up instantly. He stood and wandered over to a large tree before jumping up into its branches. His tail fell over the side of it and his eyes glowed in the darkness. What I don't understand is why you came out on this wild goose chase with me…He trailed off as Akane started to shake her head. What? He barked into her head.
"I told you why I was coming. You're an idiot with no social skills that'll end up getting smited for trying to pick a fight." She began to lay out her sleeping bag under the tree Ranma was in.
Stupid uncute tomboy. He growled. Time passed with no answer and Ranma looked down only to find her curled up and fast asleep. He let out a sigh then crawled down the tree to her side. Really Kane, you're going to freeze out here. He lay next to her and wrapped his body around her's. You should have stayed home where it was safe.
"But then I'd worry about you," she whispered. Ranma flinched, ready for her mallet, but she snuggled closer. "I know you're a great martial artist, but you're in a form you know little about and you could get hurt…" She trailed off as her eyes began to slide shut.
Ranma pressed his muzzle into her neck and let out a sound that was a cross between a purr and a growl. You're always putting yourself in danger for me…
"I know," she yawned "but if I didn't who else would?" she dropped off to sleep in the next instant and left Ranma lying next to her thinking about her comment. What she said was true. His father would never risk his life for him. Nor would any of his friends or other fiancés…well, maybe Ukyo. But she would go to the extent that Akane would. He spent the night wondering just what it all meant and how he felt about it…
AN~a quick story to make sure I didn't forget the basics of story writing. If you want it continued I need to get at least ten reviews. If you're fine with it the way it is, then don't worry about it.
