Author's Notes: Here is the second part of this prologue. I plan on this series running five parts the next one is Nodaka, part four deals with Akane and her side of the story, while the last one will be on Ranma after leaving the dojo. Leading into the main story that focuses on Ranma's new life.
Love Lost 2 Wanderer's Witness
"Now where is the farm," murmured the dusty traveler. Glancing down at the package in his hand causes his nose to curl up. "This tofu is no good anymore that's for sure," the man known as Ryoga Hibiki muttered with faint disgust. "I thought for sure I could find the market. I've been so much better lately" anger creeping into his voice. "Well I guess I did find the market, getting back though . . ." he chuckled.
As he trudged past a trash bin near a corner store he tosses the container of tofu away. "All right let's calm down, take a deep breath like Akari told me to do." Taking a look around he survey's his surroundings. He thinks, "Well I'm in a city some wear in Japan." Small residential homes, along with small stores and restaurants line the street. Walls just above head height surround some homes and at the next intersection he sees a bridge going over a canal. "Kyoto maybe or Yokahama," "wait is that. . ." hoping to the top of a light post he sees a tall tower made of steel in the distance. "Okay Akari said that if I see that I am in Tokyo." "Even a year ago I would have called Ranma and Akane but after what I have seen these last two years," his mutters fade to a thoughtful repose as he leans against a light post. "Two years ago I was still running around screaming."
******************Two Years Ago*******************
"RANMA SAOTOME PREPARE TO DIE" bellowed an enraged Ryoga. "What now P- Chan" replies Ranma in an almost Ryoga like depressed tone. The haunted eyes and gaunt face, along with the tone of voice break through even Ryoga's thick head. Causing him to stumble to a halt in mid punch "what the. . ." murmured Ryoga seeing his nemesis looking like Gosinkugi." Shaking off his confusion "AKANE TOLD ME WHAT YOU DID YOU SON OF A" Ryoga starts to yell only to stop as Ranma calmly flops down in the middle of the road outside the Tendo-Saotome dojo. Ryoga only stares as he watches Ranma sit Indian style head resting in the palm of his hand. "Well" drawls Ranma calmly looking up at Ryoga. "Um, well what" asks an even more confused Ryoga. Having not seen either Ranma or Akane in over 10 months since shortly after their wedding. "Well go ahead and hit me I know that if I try to defend myself Akane will see and I will not hear the end of it for months for picking on you." Stunned Ryoga only can stare at this shell of the Ranma he knew. "Well do it or not I ain't got all day" Ranma stood up slowly and in obvious pain.
"What Happened to you Ranma" states Ryoga. Looking over his shoulder at Ryoga like he was crazy Ranma's expression then changes to one of understanding. "That's right you've been gone a long time" let's just say Akane is mad a lot. "What did you do then" yells an angry Ryoga. His expression falling almost like disappointment thinks Ryoga, why would Ranma be disappointed. "Ya that's right I did it all" murmurs Ranma sarcastically. As Ryoga watches Ranma trudge away and into the dojo he hears Akane screech and the sound of pounding mallets.
********************Present Day******************
Twenty one year old Ryoga Hibiki shudders with the memory while it was nothing new for him to see really. It was Ranma's attitude that shocked him, for ten months he and Akari had helped and supported each other. Truly falling in love even getting engaged "I guess I learned what a true love and caring is all about." Muttering to himself, as he heads to a nearby phone booth. "Whatever it is that they had if it was love died a long time ago." Glancing down at his hand to see the shiny gold band glinting on his dirty hand, a worried frown crosses his face. "I hope that me and Akari never have anything like that happen to us." Opening the door to the phone booth he walks in. "Just have to remember what the therapist said that me and Akari ain't Ranma and Akane."
Looking for his phone card in his pack thinking back to some of the other times he stumbled upon Ranma in those years. "He did get better but never even seemed to like Akane after that, at least he stopped letting her hit him." Pulling out various supplies and setting them to the side "two heck even one year ago I'd never have thought I could have felt sorry for Ranma." "I don't understand how Akane could have changed so much, I mean I realize now that I didn't really love her." Leaning his head against warm glass, "Even I could see he wasn't doing anything to warrant some of the things she did to him, I just don't get it."
Inserting his phone card he dials the Unryu farm. "Hi Akari yeah I'm sorry yeah I know it's been a week, I just thought I could find home sorry." Opening the door he looks around motioning for a passing salaryman to come over. "Yes Akari I found someone, here he is" Ryoga then passes the phone to the man. In confusion the man tentatively raises the phone to his ear "hello." After Several seconds pass the man looks in disbelief at a sheepish Ryoga "all right, he is at the phone booth on 19th street across from Yama's grocery in Nerima-ku, yes it's all right goodbye." Handing the phone to Ryoga while shaking his head, he walks away occasionally looking back. "Thank you" murmurs Ryoga, raising the phone to his ear "Okay dear I'll wait here for you and Katsushiniki I love you too goodbye." A Slight smile coming to his face Ryoga prepares to wait for his wife and sumo pig. "Who would have thought I would have so good a life"
