Chapter 2
Awake and Confused
The darkened sky seemed to mock Ranma as he stood and looked at the remains of the Tendo Dojo in despair. Sure he didn't know what the hell had happened and waking up falling from an 80-foot Building wasn't reassuring either, but WHY did the city and the Dojo look as though it had been devastated for hundreds of years! Also why were his cloths nothing but rags? And why the HELL was his body and aura older then when he had blacked out during that battle with the so-called, ancient evil?
He had so many questions and he hoped that Akane would tell him what had happened while he was unconscious. Akane's aura felt slightly different as well. In fact it felt more then a bit older, it felt ancient! She didn't look that much older, but her hair was REALLY long. It was braided and the braid itself reached just above her hips. His hair was longer as well and it was completely untied which was, to say the least, weird. Of course that seemed to be what this day was about, lots of weirdness.
He decided to set Akane down on the sofa in the nearly demolished house and looked around. Everything in the room was broken. There was debris from the half fallen roof above him covering the floor, the T.V. was half melted and the other chairs in the room were destroyed to the point that only the skeletons of the would lay on the floor. Ranma was completely baffled as he looked around and then he noticed that he was barely wearing anything at all and he hoped that his cloths were still wearable. He began to walk up the stairs, but they seemed to crumble the instant his feat touched them. So he took his chances and jumped. His feet touched solid ground and he stood there making sure that the floor wouldn't collapse on itself. He slowly made his way toward the room he and his father shared and found a red silk Chinese shirt that didn't crumble on contact, (amazingly enough), and a pair of baggy black pant's that were easy to maneuver in.
He heard Akane begin to stir on the squeaky couch downstairs and he idly wondered when he'd gotten that good of hearing. He made his way back down stairs having to jump the flight of stairs and stir up lots of dust, causing him to cough like no tomorrow. He sensed movement in front of him and quickly looked up into the brown eyes that he'd come to love. Her eyes were wide as she looked at him, surveying him in a way that made Ranma fidget.
"you're," She whispered in awe.
Ranma looked at her confused and noticed that all she was wearing was a black backless swimsuit, some gloves, a belt with assorted weapons, and were those combat boots?! Why would she be wearing a swimsuit anyways? "You're real?" She asked incredulously.
Ranma raised an eyebrow, "Uh, yea, last time I checked. What's wrong Akane?"
She took a tentative step toward him and lifted her hand to touch his cheek, with tears in her eyes, "I can't believe it," she whispered with her hand resting on his cheek, "I finally found you!"
Ranma was now at a loss for words as he watched Akane crumble into tears before him, "O-oi," He knelt down and touched her shoulder, "Why are you crying?"
She smiled, "There's no time for this," She whipped her tears and grabbed his hand causing him to blush, "We need to go before they detect our presence. Your aura disrupts the magic streams making us easy targets."
She began to drag him out of the house and walked down random paths in alleyways and streets. Ranma didn't say anything as he was to busy looking at the destroyed buildings around him. Everywhere there were the skeletons of buildings and cars as though they hadn't been toughed in centuries and he felt an amazingly dark aura emanating from every nook and cranny around him. It was so dark and the clouds gave everything a surreal gray color to them. It was like walking through a nightmare that he couldn't seem to wake up from. Somewhere in the back of his mind a new question began to surface in his mind causing him to look at Akane.
"Oi," Akane kept walking, "Ano, where are we going?"
Akane looked back at him, "I'll bet you're really confused ne?" she smiled slightly, "I'll answer any questions you may have after we get back home."
This left Ranma even more dumbfounded, "Wasn't 'Home' Back their?"
She looked at him quizzically for a minute before a look of understanding came over her, "Oh, you mean the Tendo Dojo."
He nodded.
"I don't live there, maybe at one time my former self did but, no one lives in on the land anymore, it's too dangerous." She looked at his confused face and sighed, "C'mon."
She continued to drag him out of the city until they reached the beach. When they got there Ranma looked at Akane questioningly as she took of her boots and sighed. He noticed that her feet were slightly webbed and his eyes widened slightly at the discovery. She noticed his gaze and blushed digging her feet into the sand. She proceeded to put her boots into her bag.
"We're going to have to stay here for the night." She said.
"Out in the open?!" He looked at her suspiciously.
"Well," Akane sighed, "I'd rather not but it's not as though we really have a choice, besides the ocean has purified the beach so there's a good chance that nothing will come try to attack us here." She stopped talking and looked at him, "It helps that I have a legend standing next to me.' She smiled brightly at Ranma and he looked at her like she was crazy.
"I'm a legend?" He asked skeptically.
"Oh come on!" She said, "Every man woman child on Earth knows the Romantic story of Ranma Saotome, and Akane Tendo!" She stopped at the utterly blank expression that he was giving her.
"Oh yeah," She said quietly, "You still don't have a clue what's going on do you?"
Ranma gave her a look that said 'Duh.' Akane sighed, "Of course you don't you were under a spell for so long.. I guess I just keep thinking that you're like in my dreams. You always seemed to know what was happening in the worst situations."
"You're not Akane, are you?" Ranma suddenly asked.
"Well, I am and I'm not." She sighed again and looked at the clouds above her. "Where to begin?" She asked out loud, "I guess at the beginning."
Ranma watched her eyes grow tired and sad, the wind played with a few loose strands of her ebon-blue hair casing her to look like he'd remembered Akane, beautiful yet gentle.
"I am Akane's reincarnation," Ranma starred at her, "We are the same soul, and because I have ALL of her memories, we are almost the same person."
Ranma felt his insides turn in sudden despair, if this girl was Akane's reincarnation then that meant that his Akane was dead.
"When did, she die?" he suddenly asked.
Akane turned and looked him in the face, "Brace yourself," she whispered, "Akane Tendo died five-thousand years Ago.
Ranma fell to the ground in shock. Five thousand years?!!!! It couldn't be, if this were so then how the hell was he still alive? If he'd been unconscious for five thousand years then that meant EVERYTHING he knew and loved was gone. Depression began to enter his soul as everything Akane, no the girl in front of him, Akane's reincarnate, had said began to sink in.
Akane watched as the proud man before her turned his gaze to the ground completely depressed. Her heart cried out to him and she sat next to him lending her silent support.
"Akane, you baka tomboy," She muttered to herself, " You should have waited a bit longer!"
Ranma's head shot up at her silent berating in surprise and wheels began to slowly turn in his head. So maybe what she was trying to tell him was that she really WAS Akane, just reborn. Ranma turned his head to her to explain what had happened and she sat next to him and sighed getting ready to tell the story.
Cliffhanger!!!!!!! Bwahahaha!!!!!!!! Gomen, I always wanted to do that! Next chapter explains what had happened!!!!
