Another place
Digger½
Britanny cradeled her mothers small form in her arms, as tears streamed down her face 'mom,...
please don't die on me,... I need you here' wiping the tears to the side, her head shot up as the door slammed open "W-Who's there!" Cradling her mother tighter against her chest, Britanny let out a low feral snarl, being accentuated by her sharp teeth.
Stepping into the light, Ranma smiled sheepishly at Britanny, who was now blinking, and stepped toward the two "Sorry I'm late honey, but I had to go and teach them not to mess around anymore" His head clear with mixed emotions, Ranma settled for kissing his daughter on the forehead before gripping her in a powerful hug "I'm so sorry this happened,.. if only I was here,..."
Shaking her head as the tears renewed, Britanny let out a choked sob "N-No dad,.. It's all my fault. I didn't think anything bad about Kasumi, because you trusted her. So I was caught off guard when she tried to kill us. If it wasn't for mom, then,... I would be,..." Her voice strained as she tried to tell Ranma about those few moments.
Flash Back
Britanny smiled as she checked the cabinets, glad there was a full stock of tuna in one of them 'Yum,... Dad sure knows us' she then looked at the label and blanched slightly 'ew,... albacore,... he knows I like fresh tuna' with a sigh she reached up and took down five cans 'better go easy on it until dad gets home, so he can buy me the good stuff'. Humming a small tune in her head, Britanny started to open the cans of tuna, before grinning and turning around "Hey mom, want some of this Tuna?" she saw a silhouette of Kasumi rummaging through her bags, but didn't pay much attention to it "I'm going to make some tuna salad sandwiches"
From the shower came a voice that seemed to be cheerful, and remorseful at the same time, causing Britanny to shiver a little "Sure honey, just make me one or two. Remember your dad's going to be taking us out to dinner later, so don't eat too much. You'll spoil your dinner" Giggling a bit to herself as she knew Britanny was blinking and blanching at the thought of being reprimended all of a sudden, Cyan continued to lather her fur 'God this always takes forever,... I wish Ranma was here to help me shampoo' with another sigh, Cyan lathered up her tail, trying to keep the fur from damaging.
Meanwhile, Britanny blanched as she was being reprimended by her mother, who was barely older than herself "God,... I swear she does that just to annoy me" Turning back to the bowl of tuna and mayonaise, Britanny smiles as she mixes the two together "How about you Kasumi, would you like a tuna sandwich? I promise It will be the best you've ever had!" getting no response from the tendo, Britanny turned around to see what the problem was, when she saw a desending sword coming at her. Moving without thinking, Britanny jumped to the side, barely avoiding the blade's edge, but slammed into the small kitchen's walls 'ouchies,... that's going to leave a mark tomorrow' standing back up, Britanny narrowed her eyes at Kasumi before shaking her head "So in the end, we couldn't trust you at all, huh?"
Giggling madly, Kasumi ripped the sword from it's prison in the ground and turned toward Britanny, making her shiver "It's your fault anyways,... if you weren't here, mother wouldn't have died!" she swung the sword to the side, trying to chop Britanny's head off, only to hit air as it was ducked under. Quickly changing it's direction, Kasumi sliced downward at the crouching cheetah "DIE WERE BITCH!"
Struggling to move out of the way, Britanny realized that she couldn't move fast enough 'How is a human moving so fast! I don't even think mumsey could move that fast!' she clenched her eyes tightly and screamed as she felt the silver blade nearing her throat, only to get sprayed with a warm liquid. Opening her eyes slowly, Britanny gasped as she saw her mother, holding most of the sword in her stomach "M-Mom?" Standing up and ripping the sword from her mother's body, Britanny held her mother tightly "W-Why mom!"
Smiling at Britanny, Cyan let one of her bloody hands caress her face gently "Because you are my daughter,... because I am your mother. Don't let this get you down honey, it's just bad luck. B-Besides" At this point, Cyan coughed up a small amount of black blood, that was starting to pool around her "You know I promised never to let anyone hurt you"
Staring at her mother's body as all the heat seemed to be leaving it, Britanny's anger reached it's peak as she jumped to the side, barely dodging a sword "YOU BITCH!" Laying her mother's body down on the bathroom floor, Britanny stood up and glared at Kasumi openly, her anger creating a red aura around her "HOW DARE YOU HURT MY MOTHER!"
Kasumi smiled once again, this time it was one that had nothing in it, no emotion, and no regret "What of it,... it's because of you my mother was killed!" She readied the sword again, and was about to lunge when she narrowed her eyes "If only there wasn't YOUR kind around,... mom wouldn't had to be killed by dad!" She threw herself toward Britanny, intending to end it with this last move, but was shocked when Britanny jumped over the side of her blade, and over the bed "Damnit! Stay still and die!"
Brittany slammed against the wall and lowered herself to the ground, finding herself cornered and staring at the demented woman "MY DAD TRUSTED YOU!"
Lifting the blade above her head and gaining an almost insane glint to her eyes, Kasumi cackled "And he was a fool for doing so" With that, she brought the blade down toward the cheetah hybrid.
Closing her eyes, and awaiting the blade, she was shocked when a droplet of blood splashed against her face, and looked up to see her father holding the sword in his hand "D-Dad?"
End Flash back
Ranma nodded a bit as Britanny relayed her side of the problem, his mind calming a bit "At least you were able to be saved,..." His eyes gained a cold look in them as he looked 'past' Britanny "They won't be so lucky,..."
Blinking at Ranma, Britanny laid her head against Cyan's body, and sighed "She's still got a heartbeat, albeit it's weak. I don't know what to do dad,... if we contact Gina and get her in a rejuvination chamber, she might be saved. But it's morning there and Gina is NOT a morning person, so it's kind of impossible. But I don't want to just sit here and watch her die!" Tears flowed openly once more as Ranma let out a proud smile to his daughter.
Stepping toward and leaning over, Ranma petted Britanny's head gently, earning a low purr "Honey, it's not over yet. I have a friend coming over to help her,... he should be here soon,... I just had to get here as soon as possible to make sure you were still okay." Seeing Britanny's confused look, Ranma chuckled "I never did tell you the story of how I met this friend, huh?" Seeing her shake her head, Ranma smiled warmly "Well,... me and Saffron met like this-"
Flash Back
Ranma sighed as he headed toward the Tomobiki middle school, a backpack on his shoulders and a cloud above his head "God,.. I don't want to go to school today" Looking down at the road, Ranma blinked when he came to a pair of feet. Stopping and looking up, Ranma smiled when he saw a boy in striped clothing, standing in the middle of the road "Hi!"
The boy turned around and blinked at the voice, but smiled none the less, bearing slight fangs "Hi there!" He blushed slightly before chuckling "This wouldn't happen to be Japan, would it?"
Raising an eyebrow at the boy, Ranma nodded "Yes,... it is,... are you on your way to school?" Seeing the boy smile and nod, Ranma couldn't help it, and returned the smile "Wanna walk there together?" Seeing his eager nod, Ranma nodded "Lead the way!" Poor Ranma,.,... he just made the worse mistake of his life.
Smiling warmly, the boy extended his hand "I'm Ryoga,... Ryoga Hibiki. Who're you?"
Taking the hand and shaking it firmly, Ranma kept his smile "I'm Ranma,.. Ranma Saotome. So,... shall we go?" Nodding his head, Ranma started to walk beside Ryoga as they walked toward the large building ahead of them "So, do you live here?" Ranma took his eyes off of the road and looked to his new friend.
Nodding a little bit, Ryoga turned at the corner and smiled at his new friend "Yeah, I just moved here earlier this week. Although I don't know the area that well, just stick with me. I DO know the way to our school"
Ranma chuckled a bit dryly as he stopped in mid step, surveying the area "I think I don't trust you on that Ryoga,..." He looked to his left and saw a castle embeded in a mountain side "We're not at school,..." he turned toward his friend and blinked, finding nothing "Ryoga?" He then cupped his hands at his mouth and yelled out "RYOGA!"
Tearing their gazes off of the skies, a group of women stared at Ranma with an incredulous stare "Is that human testing us or something?" Seeing she wasn't getting a response, the woman sighed "Bring him to Lord Saffron,... we'll let him deal with this tresspasser." With that said, a small group of 'birds' flew at Ranma, their talons gripping his arms firmly as they flew him to the said 'castle' in the mountain as the woman stood there, thinking 'How did he get past all of our sentries,...' Shrugging her shoulders, the woman took off after the group.
End Flash Back
Ranma chuckled a bit as he remembered that "Yeah,... it wasn't exactly the best day of my life, but it could've been worse. I mean, I did get to meat a god"
Britanny's eyes widened as she stared her dad, much like a child would to a story teller "You met a god?"
Ranma nodded and smiled "His name was Saffron,... or rather, Lord Saffron, as he so adamantly wanted to be called" Ranma chuckled a bit more before sitting on the ground and resting against the wall, his arm draping around his daughter and wounded mate "I mean,... he was so childish that it was almost funny"
Flash Back resumes
Ranma blinked as he was escorted through the halls, stopping inside of a great hall that seemed covered in diamonds and gems of all sorts "So, foolish landling... you have soiled my land with your wingless self. What purpose do you have here?" His gaze was as cold as the artic, but yet his voice yerned for freedom.
Looking at the boy who was sitting on the throne, Ranma took a deep breath and swallowed the lump in his throat "U-Um,... I don't know?" Ranma started chuckling nervously as his hand rubbed the back of his head.
Staring at the boy for what seemed like minutes, Saffron narrowed his eyes "Are you toying with me?" Seeing Ranma shake his head viciously, Saffron allowed a small smile too appear on his face "Very well then,... we'll test you, to see if your worthy of leaving this castle alive" He chuckled when he saw Ranma nervously swallow a lump in his throat "Fear not,... the test itself is not too dangerous,... it's the conscequences that will be painful" Standing up and walking down a couple steps, Saffron came eye to eye with Ranma "I challenge you,... um,.. what's your name?"
Sweating a little bit, Ranma looked around nervously as he noticed all the intense stares on him "U-Um,.. Ranma, Ranma Saotome. Sorry about this"
Nodding his head, Saffron turned around and walked around in a circle, eyeing the boy in front of him "Very well Ranma Saotome,... you may call me Saff- no, Lord Saffron" His eyes clouded over a bit as he gained a insane type glit in them.
Ranma nodded his head "O-Of course Lord Saffy" Seeing Saffron glare at him, Ranma took a tentative step back "L-Lord Saffron?"
Saffron smiled a bit before nodding once more "That's better landling,... know your place in this mountain. Now,... as for the challenge,..." He looked around for a bit before his eyes rested on a sword that hung close to a woman phoenix "Kima, lend me your sword, and bring the landling one as well"
Staring at Saffron from her place beside his throan, Kima blinked "My lord?"
Walking toward the hesitant woman, Saffron's face played out in frustration "I said lend me your sword,... I wish to challenge this outsider for a place in phoenix mountain"
Taking the sword from her side, Kima stared stupidly at Saffron "My lord,... your weapons training hasn't been completed yet. Who knows what this outside is capable of with a weapon,... he might even kill you"
Raising an eyebrow as he took the sword from her outstreched hand, Saffron chuckled "I can't die,... You of all my subjects should understand that best.."
Kima opened her mouth to argue again, but nothing came out as she narrowed her eyes on the boy in the corner "You,." Seeing his attention jerk over to her, she smiled a bit "Lord Saffron is gracing you with a sparring session,... while he may be more advanced than you in the sword arts, that doesn't give the right to draw blood. This is a spar only session, and only a 'checkmate' will be allowed"
Nodding his head a bit, Ranma took the offered sword and wiped the sweat drop his brow "O-Okay,... all I have to do, is get him into a losing situation?" Seeing Kima's shocked nod, Ranma smiled a bit and took a relaxed stand Well,... Mom's training will come in handy for something at least
