Deadly Intentions
Chapter three
Author Notes: Well Chapter three. I didn't think that I would actually get this far. Well I hope that I can keep up the focus, I got a little off there in chapter two.
The black faded and Ranma found himself in a bed.
"Ok I am finally catching onto this, you can't fool me three times, who are, you and where am I?"
"You are a smart one. I underestimated you."
"Where is Akane? I think I know now that this was all just some, nightmare."
"He he he . . ."
A shadow materializes in the threshold.
"Boy, welcome to my corner of the world. I am Nightmare."
"I didn't realize it at first, when everything was as I had pictured, but the last dream, when I started to remember reality, that was when I finally knew that it had to be a dream. I have to tell you that when I woke up that last time, it even felt like it was all a dream that I was waking up from, a really bad dream."
"Well I am glad I accomplished my job. You mind just has so many crevices for me to explore Ranma. But enough with the small talk, you are in my corner of the world, and I would like to know why."
"Well Wind disappeared and left standing in front of this mirror. I thought that if I pictured the Water Domain and what it would look like, that the mirror would take me there. I guess I was wrong. May I have passage through your land?"
"You ask for passage when you don't even know where you are advancing?"
"I know where I want to go."
"But where is this place. How do you know also, wether I will tell you the truth?"
"I guess I don't I guess I will just have to trust that you will be honest. Either that or I will just do the opposite of whatever you tell me."
"HA HA HA! You are a hilarious boy. I wish that all humans had your sense of humor. And your head. Ego is a great thing for a god such as me. Makes your life so much more interesting."
Ranma was getting impatient. When he finally got a chance to see Wind again, he was going to chew him out about this. And the worst part was, Wind probably had planned this whole thing. He hated all of this, why couldn't they just let him go home, this wasn't even his world.
"Nightmare, I would love to chat, but I really must be leaving. I have places to go, and gods to beat. Sorry the calender is pretty booked, but I would love to have tea some time, how about next century?"
(More laughter) "Go get out, I will take you where you want to go!" (Laughter as the scene fades to black)
Ranma was getting sort of tired with all of this teleporting, here and their thing. He hoped that this time he would wind up in the RIGHT palce.
He was sitting on a rock in the middle of a small pond.
"Where am I now, is this the land of Water?"
Of course he really hadn't expected an answer.
"Yes."
"What? Who are you?"
"No need for the loud voice."
"Well you scared the living daylights out of me."
"I never thought that I would scare you."
" . . . So a guy isn't allowed to be afraid, not that I am, well you frightened me, I wasn't really scared."
"You are talking nonsense, stop before you dig yourself a bigger hole."
He stopped.
"Well I suppose you would like to know who I am. Well I am a water nymph that works for the other side. I will help you while you are here. I have been waiting for your arrival for some time, what took you so long?"
"I was a little delayed."
"Well all's well that ends well. So lets put an end to it, shall we."
"Is Akane all right?"
"I don't know. I heard that Dream was supposed to find her and take her somewhere safe so that you wouldn't have to worry about her, but I have not yet been notified if that operation has succeeded or not."
"What do they want me to do to him, I still don't understand? I can't kill him, hell I don't even know if I can harm him, he is a god!"
"Ranma you will know when the time has come. I cannot tell you what path to take."
Then they came to the palace. It was like something out of a story book. It was crystal, and there were meany towers, and a sea surrounded it. Mermaids swam in the moat under the bridge, and water dragons guarded the gates that were the only entrance. They were blue scaled. Their scales were long, and glistened in the light that glared on them. They were staring at him, as if to intimidate him into leaving. The nymph took out a small satchel out of her pocket and tossed it to the unsuspecting Ranma.
"Throw them two of these and they will be at your service forever."
"What are these?"
He pulled out of the bag a few scrawny looking kernels.
"They are a rare spice from the north in china that dragons seem to be unable to resist."
He did as she had said. The beasts moved aside and they passed into the palace. As they walked, he thought. They had been walking for some time by the time that he found the courage to confront her.
"Why are you helping me?"
"Why, because I want to put an end to that bastard just like all of the rest. I think that you will help me accomplish my goals so I will help you."
He was silent.
*Get rid of him. How was he supposed to do that? He couldn't kill him, that was unthinkable. How was he supposed to get rid of him?*
"I don't understand. I am not getting rid of him, I am just here to get my fiances back. That is the only reason that I am here, and as soon as I fix that problem I am gone."
"Well, you will at least fight him, and put him back into his place, that is really all that I ask. Take him, and put him DOWN, make him wish he was dirt."
"I will try. I don't know why I have to do it though, I mean I am just a human, you are all gods, and you all want me to kick his ass, I really don't understand the logic behind that one."
"Well up here, there are a few rules that must be followed, that is why you are here, doing the job. Well we really don't have time to talk. I can feel him close by."
End Chapter Three
Author's Notes:
I really am stuck here. I don't want him to just kill Water and end the fic, that would be too easy, but I can't figure out a way to drag it out too much longer. That may not sound like such a big problem, but it actually scares me, since I normally make the story so complicated that I can't even finish it, because there are to many loose ends. Well I don't know when the next chapter will be out. I have to think about it for a while.
