Chapter 2.
"You're human!"
They looked at each other for a few minutes then realization dawned.
"Jusenkyo!" They both cried out at the same time then smiled. Ryoga noted that the other boys' ribs were sticking out a lot. He quickly pulled on some of his spare clothes and handed him some clothes as well. As they dressed, he wondered why he was helping this stranger that had, only a few minutes ago, been trying to eat him. And why did he feel so happy and relaxed around him?
"I suppose you're hungry?" he asked. "Yeah… Hey, I'm really sorry about that whole 'trying to eat you' thing. I was just so hungry."
"Its OK, it happens more times than you'd think. Here," he said, handing him a loaf of bread. "It might be stale though." The other boy shrugged and started eating. Ryoga re-lit the fire then started to eat his own loaf, while he examined the other boy and his feelings towards him.
He was tall, probably Ryoga's own height, although the fact that he was so thin made him seem taller. His eyes were green, a light, vivid shade, contrasting sharply with his long black hair that went down to his waist. He didn't look it but appearances could be deceiving and Ryoga could sense that here was a very skilled martial artist. He could feel his aura – gentle but with steel hidden inside. When he was angry or fighting this steel would rise to the surface, coupled with an underlying wildness or ferocity. This was not a weak person. 'His curse probably made him stronger. It would be a good thing to have in a fight, not like mine.'
Sensing Ryoga's eyes on himself, the boy looked up. "What?" he asked. Ryoga answered, "What's your name? And do you live near here? I don't suppose you could tell me where I am?"
The other boy smiled. 'He's got fangs like me' a small part of Ryoga noted. "In reverse order, no I don't know where this is, no I don't live here 'though my camps not too far from here and my name's Ryugen. What's yours?"
"I'm Ryoga." Ryugen nodded. 'Why is that name so familiar?' they both thought at the same time. "If you don't mind, could I stay here tonight? I have a slight problem with directions, especially in the dark."
"Sure, I have the same problem. I know what it's like."
"Are you sure? I don't mean to impose. And I was trying to eat you before."
"Its OK, knock yourself out. Although I only have one sleeping bag so you'll have to sleep on the ground."
Ryugen shrugged, "I've slept rough before. It's no problem."
Ryoga nodded and unpacked his sleeping bag. He got in and lay down, gazing into the fire. Ryugen curled up on the other side of the fire. Soon they were both asleep.
~*~*~*~
Ryoga yawned and got up, awakened by the sunlight in his eyes. He looked at the other side of the camp. There was no one there. 'Was it a dream? It seemed so real.' he wondered then shrugged and began to pack. As he stood up, adjusting the straps on his backpack, he heard his name being called.
"Yo, Ryo-kun!"
He turned, wondering. Could it be…?
"Ryugen! You weren't a dream!"
The other boy snorted. "Obviously not! Here, thanks for lending me the clothes." He said, handing Ryoga his spare clothes. Ryoga took them, thanking him, and looking at Ryugen's own clothes. He was wearing a white, sleeve-less top and black trousers with white lacing part way up his ankles. Around his forehead was a black bandanna with gold stripes. 'He even dresses like me! This is getting weird. Well weirder then normal.' Ryoga thought. On his back was a large backpack that looked extremely heavy though he seemed to have no problem with the weight. Just like Ryoga's backpack.
"Do you mind if I travel with you?" Ryugen asked, snapping Ryoga out of his reverie. "Only its kind of lonely traveling on your own."
"Sure, I'd enjoy the company."
They set off. After a while Ryugen asked "So where are you going anyway?" Ryoga glanced his way. "I have some unfinished business," he said, cracking his knuckles. "In Nerima."
