(Aiyaaa! Dude! Did I reeeeeaaaalllyyy piss people off with my last chapter?
Honestly. Eh well, who am I to say my fics are good. My other Fic, Evil-Sasuke was
rated a 1 out of 5.. mostly due to Grammar errors. Hey, I write stories.. not
masterpieces. Anyway.. here's another non-masterpiece for y'all. Enjoy! Or not..

Promises Lost
By LizMUN
Chap 4
Fiancee crisis
Somewhere within the western areas of Japan, the sun began to set behind
the horizon, bringing with it a colorful splash of reds and oranges to decorate the
sky. The blanket of night was slowly covering the land, tucking in the world for
the night. Birds began to chirp up bedtime tales to their chicks of times when the
Phoenix rulled the skies.
Unfortunaly for two lone wanderers, they were no where near this peaceful
haven, instead they were trying to hold down their bearings as they had camped within
the middle of a tsunami of a rainstorm. It seemed as if Mother Nature didn't take
kindly to tresspassers within her property and was giving them Hell in return.
Strong gusty winds howled their way between the trees, trying to sweep away the
travelers to Oz, and heavy rain drops pounded over the thin, synthetic cloth of
their tent. Inside the man-made shelter, the two travelers payed little heed to the
chaos outside, and unintentionally taunted back by drinking some soothing chamomile
tea.
One of the two travelers looked up from their cup of steaming, leaf-drenched
liquid and sighed. She was a pretty girl, wearing a simple blue pleated skirt, and
a cream-colored buttoned up blouse. She had also been wearing traveling shoes but
those had been removed and placed near the entrance of the tent. She idly flung her
long, wavy brown hair and sighed again. She looked to her companion, a big, bulky,
threatening-like figure. His sheer size could have easily held up the tent all night if
wanted to. Yet, despite his apearance, she did not feel threatened by him, on the
contrary, she had felt protected near his presence. After all, in Akari Unryuu's eyes..
pigs can do no wrong!
"Oh, Katsunishiki, I'm begining to think we'll never find Ryouga-sama!" She
stated, tears forming in the brims of her eyes. "He's been gone too long! What if
he's hurt? No, Ryouga-sama is too strong and so knowledgable about traveling, he can
take care of himself, right?" She looked up at her companion pleading to it for hope.
She sighed again, the tears flowed freely from her eyes now. "I never should've
gone out to look for him." Suddenly, she gasped and looked at the giant sumo-pig that
had also been sipping some tea. "Oh dear! What if he's back in the farm? What if
he's come back and he doesn't find me? This is all my fault!"
Katsunishiki whimpered at her saddened mistress. Having set the tea down with
its hoves, it made its way next to Akari and snuggled next to her, attempting to
comfort the girl. Akari just burried her face on the pig's neck, and cried,
berating herself for having been so foolish and impatient.
Meanwhile, several trees away, a young man was trudging his way through the
kami-induced storm. The winds had yet to settle and was howling in anger, trying to
pluck the umbrella from the man's grasp, and he had been tempted to let the gods have it.
Still, it was his only shelter, and like Hell would he have allowed himself to get
drenched for nothing. All he wanted now was to find shelter quick, but there seemed
no end to this forest and the storm was seeming to be getting worse with every passing
second.
"Damn you, Saotome! I wouldn't be in this mess were it for you! I'll get
my vengence on you, Saotome, just you wait and.. huh?"
Despite the pounding rain upon his umbrella and the loud, whistle-like
winds, he could hear, from a distance, the anguised sobbing of a maiden in distress.
Forgeting his vow of vengence, the young man altered his course, and focused
on the female's crying, determined to help this person in her time of need.
What he found was a single, illuminated tent. Two shadows could be seen
from the outside. One, a petite figure, hunched over, the second a moving,
monsterous lump with two (from the looks of it) horns on top. Could it be? Was it
a demon, perhaps? Yes, and it had probably had kiddnapped the young girl to do it's
will with her? Not if he had anything to do about it!
Akari daintily wipped her eyes with her hankerchief. It wouldn't do for her
to cry. She had to be strong, strong for her Ryouga-sama. He was counting on her
to return home, safe and sound. She looked up at Katsunishiki and smiled.
"Thank you Katsunishiki, I don't know what I'd do without you. I still wish
Ryouga-sama was with us though. We better get some sleep. We can travel
tomorrow and..."
"STOP!!"
Akari's eyes widened in surprise, fear causing her to freeze in
position. Katsunishiki, as well, was too shocked to move from the yell. Suddenly
the tent's flap was torn off and the intruder entered the tent. As if to make the
situation more threatening, lighting flashed in the background, shillohueting the
violator-to-be. Then, like a blur, the molestor headed toward Katsunishiki, aiming
his foot at its head.
"FIERCE TIGER, OPENING GATES BLOW!"
With a thunderous kick, Katsunishiki was flung out of the tent, creating
a hole in the fabric. Akari screamed in surprise causing the intruder to stop and
look down at her.
"Are you alright, miss? You aren't hurt, are you?"
Akari was still too shocked to reply. She looked at the stranger in awe, the
soft glow of her lantern giving her enough light to see the man more clearly. He
was a young man, still in his late teenage years. He wore with him a heavy
backpack, much like her dear Ryouga-sama carried around. He wore a plain,
black tank-top, and baggy, army-like fatigues, which were tucked into
army-like boots. He also adorned a belt-like vest which carried on his one side a
pouch, and on the other a "L" shaped flashlight. Then, she looked at his face. At
first glance she could've sworn it was her love, Ryouga, but upon closer observation,
this proved contrary. His eyes were much more slanted, and his bangs much longer.
Lastly, instead of her Ryouga-sama's trademark yellow and black bandanna, this man adorned
with him a simple white headband.
"Who... who are you?"
The young man blinked at the demure girl sitting below him. She was very
feminine, specifically in the way she sat with her knees tucked underneath her. She
was also extreamly cute, especially with those pink hairstrands adding color to her
hair and framing her pale, face. He smiled at her and was about to reply when he
heard a loud grunt outside. He looked up and saw that Katsunishiki had recovered
from the blow, and was now ready to charge his attacker.
"Introductions later! Let me finish this demon off first!"
"Demon? But, that's only Katsunishiki!" Akari protested, but her cry fell upon
deaf ears. The man just cracked his knuckles and charged at the oversized
pork-chop.
"I swore to that bastard Ranma that I'd seal these techiques, but I've got no
patience for the likes of you! Prepare to face the Saotome-school Yamasen-ken
Ultimate Technique! DEMON GOD ASSULT BOMB!!"
The blast hit the giant sumo pig head on, again throwing it back a couple of
feet away, knocking down trees in the process.
"KATSUNISHIKI!!" Akari gasped and stood up, not carring that the rain had
yet to lay off, nor the protesting yells the young man was giving her. She rushed
toward her friend and protector. Instinctly she reached up and took the pig's
pulse, moments later she let out a sigh of relief. Assured that the pig
was alright, she stood back up and walked to the now confused man.
The man just looked at her, scratching the back of his neck in wonderment.
"Uh.. did you know that monster?"
"That wasn't a monster," she replied. "That was my farm's 14th champion of
the Pig Sumo Room, Katsunishiki. I don't believe we've met. My name is Unryuu
Akari."
"Sumo-pig? Huh? Oh.. Kumon, Ryuu Kumon. I didn't know he was a pet. I'm
sorry. I'll go now."
Akari's mind was swarming with questions. On the one hand, this man had just
defeated her pet pig, thus entitling him as her fiance. On the other, she already
has a fiance. Her kind, strong, pig-changing Ryouga-sama. She couldn't possibly have
two fiances, that would be immoral!
"What would grandfather say if he were still here?"
"Akari, my grandaughter, do not look down at what is given upon you. Take
the opportunity now, and deal with the consequences when the time comes."
Akari blinked and looked down. Sure enough, there was her grandfather
laying upon a comfortable futon beside her. This had surprised her since he hadn't
been with them moments ago, but she noded. Having thought about what her grandfather
had said, she stood up and rushed toward the departing Kumon boy.
"Wait! Please wait!"
Ryuu stopped and turned around. The rain had stopped its heavy punishment upon the
travelers and moved on to dryer regions.
"Uh.. I'm sorry for what I did back there," the boy stuttered. "I thought
you were being attacked. I didn't mean to make such a mess."
Akari just smiled. He was so kind, just like a pig. Just like her
Ryouga-sama. She then looked at him, giving off her cutest smile.
"If it's not too much trouble, would you care to join me for some tea?"
Ryuu just blinked at her, then smiled. How could he refuse a request from
such a cute girl. After all, what harm could it do?
====================
Yes people.. that's it. I'm sorry.. but My Muse won't cooperate, and frankly, I don't think it will till School Starts again. But till then, send comments and questions about this fic. Flames will be misinterpreted as comments, so send those too. - Liz
