*************************************************************************************************
Ranma was feeling dizzy and was having trouble keeping his vison striaght. His legs felt
all watery, and he started to feel pain in his head. As he was walking down the stairs to the
first floor, he had a hand up to the wall to help maintain his balance, and as the moon shined
in his face, he suddenly tripped and he fell down the remaining stairs.He was too weak to move
a muscle and just layed there. Before his vison went black, he saw a female figure run towards
him calling his name. As she was nearing, Ranma's vision started to waver, he was able to see
who the person was.
" Ell..Ellie?" the all was black.
" That's the last time I let Rina talk me into those late night conversations. She always nags
me to go and tell him my feelings, but who am I kidding. He's lord and i'm just a gypsy girl.
STUPID RINA!!!" Ellie shouted to the outside. She calmed down and remembered exactly what Rina
had told her.
FLASHBACK.............................................................
" Ellie, you know you're going to have to tell him some time." stated Rina as she took a sip of
her drink.
" I...I don't know what you're talking about sis!!" cried Ellie flushed. Rina only smirked.
" Oh I don't know. Maybe the little CRUSH you have on RANMA will ring a bell." It most certanly
did in Ellie's case. Her whole face went from her normal skin color, to serveral shades of red.
" I really don't know Rina. I mean, we're so different. I'm or we are just a group of gypies,
while Ranma is Lord of Wing Zero castle."
Rina huffed." Please. You have had a crush on him since that performence in Ryube, when you
were doing your knife throwing act. Anyway, ranks have nothing to do with it. If you didn't know,
there's a rumor that Luc and Nanami like each other, and they're really different. Luc is a
student of Lekknat while Nanami is the DAUGHTER of THE Genkaku."
" I guess. But i'll tell him when I want to Rina, and there's nothing you can do about it!!"
cried Ellie, and she got up and left, never noticing a look triumph, on Rina's face.
**********************End of Flash Back******************************************************
As Ellie was heading up the stairs up to her room, she saw a figure coming down the stairs. At
first, Ellie thought it was an enemy spy, since there was suppose to be another army wanting to
take over the Silver Country, but as she looked more closley and carefully, she noticed that the
figure was limping. After she saw that, she knew that it was okay, because there weren't any
sounds of fighting, and so she knew it had to be one of the 108 stars, but the question was, WHY
was the person limping. As Ellie moved closer, she saw the refected moonlight on the figure's
face was that of Ranma, and as he suddenly tripped, and layed there on the floor not moving, she
ran to his aid. When she got near him he looked up and muttered out, " Ell...Ellie?", and then
he fainted.
It took Ellie about a second to absorbed what had happened, and then she ran towards Ranma.
She turned him over onto his back, and saw him still breathing. Ellie sighed in relief.
" C'mon Ranma. Let's get you back to your room." said Ellie. Ellie put his arm onto her
shoulders, and had her other arm, on his left side. Ranma had enough strenght to reply.
" Ellie, I have to go....back to...Dr.Huan. I was sleeping there." replied Ranma. Ellie nodded
and as Ranma was about to go on, Ellie shushed him.
" Okay, but please save your strength. You'll need it for the other army Ranma."
Ranma looked at her. As Ellie was helping him to Huan, Ranma, for the first time, saw Ellie,
from how the moonlight reflected off her jet black her, and her determined brown eyes. In Ranma's
point of view, she was undeniable gorgeous. Ranma suddenly felt his cheeks go red for some
reason.
'I've never felt like this before, or looked at Ellie this way. I kinda like this feeling'
thought Ranma. As they entered Huan's office, they could see Kinnison, light snoring in his
sleep.
Ellie helped Ranma to bed and pulled the covers up. As Ellie was about to leave, Ranma muttered
out, just enough for Ellie to hear, " Thank you.", and then he fell asleep.
Ellie just stood there in the door way staring at Ranma sleeping.
'He looks so cute." Ellie thought. Actually, in Ellie's vison, she though Ranma was VERY handsome
after three years of not seeing him. Ellie sighed in content as she saw the moonlight reflect off
the golden head piece on Ranma, and the shadows dancing around his lone figure.
'One of these days Ranma, one of these days, i'll tell you how much I love you.' thought Ellie,
and with that thought in mind for the future, Ellie left the room, quietly shutting the door
behind her.
In the dojo, a good several hour after dawn had come......................
" HIYAAA!!!!"
" C'mon Luc!! Punch it like your life depended on it!!"
" HAAA!!!"
" HARDER!! PUNCH IT AS YOUR LOVED ONE WAS IN DANGER!!"
" TAKE THIS!!!!" and then there was a sound of a wooden punching dummy, being broken in two.
" Whoops." said Luc, wiping off the sweat off of his forehead, staring at the dummy in amazment.
" YEAAAHHH!!! YOU DID IT LUC!! IF YOU KEEP THIS PACE UP, YOU'LL BE STRONG IN NO TIME!!" shouted
Nanami gleefully. Luc smiled at Nanami, " Hey, you're getting good with your runes also you
know. If you keep THAT up, you'll probably be as good as me."
" I hope so!! I wanna be ready for this fight!! I still don't like wars, but this one is really
serious." said Nanami. She walked over to Luc and they both sat down, both tired, but not tired
enough to complete the practice this morning.
" So, what do you think happened to Ranma yesterday?" asked Nanami quietly. Luc looked at her
and told her his thoughts on the subject.
" Strange." replied Luc flatly.
" Strange? Why is that Luc?" asked Nanami confused. Luc sighed.
" I felt this strange aura around Ranma, just before he fainted. It was like a curse aura. It
was pitch black, and surround your brother and suddenly disappeared, as soon as it had come."
replied Luc.
" Ummm, do you think it had anything to do with that strange beast we encountered?" asked
Nanami, thoughtfully.
" Maybe. I'm going to the library, later today, to find some books on magical curses, because I
think that's what is wroung with Ranma." added Luc.
" What's with a magical curse?" asked Nanami.
"Well. Let's see. Magical curses have to be placed on the victim, when he or she is very young.
The curse ususally has a form, that is needed to mark the victim," started Luc.
" But what do you mean by 'mark the victim'?" asked Nanami.
" Well, the curse won't have any effect, if it didn't have a scratch or wound with it. The wound
only shows for about several minutes, and if the person is lucky, a true rune will heal it, but
it won't cure the victim, only contain the curse for a good several years as I estimate. When the
years are over, the victim starts going through strange illness, and when the big one hits, you
have to find the cure in a certain amount of time, and if you don't make the anidote or you
run out of time, the person gets expired." finished Luc grimly. Luc looked over to see Nanami's
sad face. Luc felt guilty.
' Nice going!! You just cheered her up well.' Luc thought angrily. Luc sighed and reached over
to tell Nanami he was sorry for telling her those awfull things. Then Nanami turned to him and
smiled. Now Luc was the one confused.
" Thanks Luc. At least I have an idea what could be wroung with Ranma. May I accompany you to the
library?" asked Nanami. Luc felt relieved and nodded his head.
" Well!! Now let's have a physical match. I think you had enough practice to go against me."
grinned Nanami.
" Fine by me. With or without weapons?" asked Luc, pointing his thumb at Nanami's and his own
weapons.
"No weapons.They only assist. The true power relys on the trust you have in yourself and others."
replied Nanami getting into a fighting stance. Luc grinned and replied,
" Genkaku told you that?" he asked, getting himself into a fighting position,
" No. I think i've listened to Shu telling Ranma one too many sayings." replied Nanami. Then
Luc and Nanami had a friendly practice battle.
Back at Huan's office
Ranma woke up, feeling a whole lot better than he had the other night.
" I must remember to thank Ellie for her kindness, later today." thought Ranma.
Huan entered and was surprised to see Ranma already awake.
" Well, let me just check you over and then you may go." said Huan. He did his check up and Ranma
was fine. Ranma got out of bed, and put on his boots, gloves and scarf, then left the room. His
first thought was getting even with Jowi for splashing him awake. Ranma grinned. He went to
looking for a bucket and found one later by Tetsu's bathtubs. He fill it up with water and was
grinning all the way up the stairs.
He saw Flik and Victor arguing on the way to the bar, they said their hello's and asked if her
was alright, to be walking around. Ranma waved it off and stated that he was alright. Then Flik
and Victor continued their arguing to the bar. Ranma sighed. He didn't know which arguing was
worse. Victor and the star dragon sword, or Victor and Flik. Actually, both of the arguments
were pretty bad. Anyway, Ranma sneaked up to Jowi's door and opened it quietly. He saw Jillia and
Pilika coming to the door.
" Ranma, how are you feeling?" asked Jillia quietly, trying not to wake her husband.
" Just fine. How're you and Pilika adjusting to my castle?" asked Ranma. Jillia grinned.
" It may not be L'Renolle, but it's more alive than my home." replied Jillia.
"Uncle Ranma? Are you going to get Jowi back for the times he got you wet?" asked Pilika grinning
like a natural eight year old. Jillia giggled.
" Of course Pilika. Jillia, would you be so kindly as to move from the premesence.I wouldn't want
you to be injured here while Jowi, is, how shall we say. Busy for the time being?" grinned Ranma.
" Of course Lord Ranma," grinned Jillia, playing along." We shall leave at this moment so that
you can take it upon yourself, to get revenge on my husband for when he had gotten yourself
splashed in the face today. Pilika come."
" 'Kay!! bye Ranma!!" said Pilika waving her farewells for Ranma. As the door shut behind Jillia
and Pilika, and as Jillia got to the first floor, she said," Pilika, let's go have breakfast."
Back in Jowi's room
" Snooooorrrrrrr."
Ranma was almost in hysterics at his revenge.
" Good morning Jowi." grinned Ranma as he lifted the bucket over Jowi's head. He paused for the
moment, looking at Jowi's peaceful face.
" I almost feel BAD about doing it. Oh Well. This is for all those other times Jowi Aterides
Blight." grinned Ranma, and then he drenched Jowi in the freezing cold water and Jowi woke up
with a scream and looking at a laughing Ranma.
" RRRRAAAANNNNMMMMAAAA!!!" screamed Jowi drenched.
" Now you know how I feel!!" laughed Ranma sprinting for the door, with a wet Jowi on his trail.
Ranma had Jowi chase him all over the castle, until Jowi got tired and stopped. Ranma was
breathing hard, but still laughing at being able to get his revenge on Jowi.
" Alright, so ya got me. How about after I get into some dry clothes, we'll go have breckfast
together with Nanami." said Jowi as he and Ranma headed back towards the entrance of the castle.
Ranma just laughed harder.
" She probably already did with Luc." grinned Ranma. Jowi smiled. Ranma turned his head towards
the left and saw Ellie heading past the bar. Ranma said he see Jowi later and to meet him by Hai
Yo's diner. Jowi asked why, and Ranma replied that it wasn't any of his concerns and ran off to
catch up with Ellie.
" Stupid Rina." Ellie mummbled. Rina had cornered Ellie into one of her conversations again
about admiting your love.
" Sheesh, she makes it sound soooooo easy," grumbled Ellie, stopping by the pond by the dojo.
" I just can't go up to Ranma and say, hey Ranma!! Did you know that I lov...." Ellie said to
herself, but when she got to the part of when she said what she would tell Ranma about her true
feelings, she turned around and actually saw him, and luckily stopped herself from giving away
her secret.
" Uhhhh, tell me WHAT Ellie?" asked Ranma.
" Errr, nothing important right now." grinned Ellie, nervously while her face went red.
Ranma looked at her confused then ignored it.
" Ummm, I just came her to thank you for, uh.....you know, about how you helped me?" stated
Ranma. Ellie's cheeks turned slightly pink and nodded her head.
" Well, this is a thank you gift." said Ranma smiling. Ellie looked up confused by her eyes
opened wide when Ranma leaned forwards and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
When Ranma pulled away, his cheeks were starting to show a blazing red, and Ellie was also a
blazing red in the cheeks.
" I gotta go. I have meetings to go to and I promised Jowi I eat breckfast with him. I'll talk
to you later!!" yelled Ranma, as he ran off to meet with Jowi. Ellie just stood there with her
hand touching the cheek Ranma had given her a kiss on.
" I think I fallen for you even deeper Ranma." smiled Ellie and walked towards the castle
entrance, to find something to do.
Back to Jowi and Ranma at Hai Yo's diner.............
" So, what was so important, that you come back blushing?" asked Jowi raising an eyebrow, at the
extremly red Ranma.
" N..nothing of your concern Jowi. Can't you just leave the subject alone?" asked Ranma as he
finished up his pancakes.
" Nope, this is just a too good of a chance to pass buddy. Now, once again, WHY are your cheeks
red?" asked Jowi.
" Now once again," Ranma mimicked Jowi," I'm not going to tell you."
"Aww!! Come on Ranma!!, its like you have a secret..." Jowi started but then trailed off and
was smiling. Ranma got scared.
" Er...Jowi? What's wrong?" Ranma asked, nervously.
" Do you have a crush on someone?" asked Jowi. Jowi must've hit the direct target, because now,
Ranma was blushing furiously and finshing his pancakes up quickly and got up and left.
Jowi started to laugh and he paid for the meal, since it was on him, and followed Ranma to the
second floor meeting room, all on the way asking who he liked.
" Kasumi?" asked Jowi.
" NO WAY!! She's okay in all, but I think she has her heart sent on someone else." shouted Ranma.
" Jean?"
" Too old, and kinda creepy."
"Vikki?"
" She's okay, but no."
"Anita?"
" ARE YOU CRAZY!?"
"Rina?"
" Was there POISON in your food this morning?"
"Okay!! Sheesh!! How about Leona."
" I know you're kidding on that one. Besides, I think she likes Shu."
" WHAT!? Actually, they would make a cute couple. Anyway, Hanna?"
"Amazon Hanna!? You've got to be kidding!! SHE'S WAY TOO OLD!!!"
" Treasa?"
" You have got to stop asking me about these older women!! NO!!"
"Then how about Ellie?"
" Errrrr....she's fine. I mean she's okay!! Yeah!! Ellie's okay!!"
" Hahahahahha!! YOU LIKE ELL...." shouted Jowi, but Ranma covered Jowi's mouth while blushing
furiously.
" Tell anyone and you're toast." growled Ranma, removing his hand from Jowi's abnormally large
mouth, when he gets the upper hand.
" Fine, fine. I'll seal my lips." replied Jowi. Then they entered the great hall. Everyone was
happy to see that Ranma was fine, and they discussed some resent information on the terrible
army.
" They call themselves the " Dark Sage Guild"." stated Flik.
" What are they trying to acheive?" asked Jowi. Apple shook her head.
"That's the thing, we can't figure out any of their motives. But from what our people are telling
us, is that they want to destroy everything and rebuild it to their own liking. Their leader is
the most dangerous person, but the leader always keeps back at the home base hidden near where
Kinnison was attacked. We've told all the other cities to be prepared about the army." stated
Apple. Then they disscussed what to do if the army made any moves.
Back to Luc and Nanami.......................
" This one was the one that progressed the most in my opinion." grinned Nanami. Luc smiled also.
" Yeah, but we probably need to soak longer in Tetsu's baths than usual." laughed Luc. Both of
them were sweating. When they got to Tetsu, he smiled at them.
" Hiya Luc, Nanami. Same routine. Men to the left and women to the right, and try not to throw
water bombs above the wall, please. It took me last time three hours to dry the floor off, so
no one slipped." said Tetsu. Nanami and Luc grinned sheepishly.
" Eheheheh. Sorry 'bout that Tetsu. Anyway it was Luc's fault!!" cried Nanami laughing as she
ran into the right side.
" Hey!!! You were the one that started it Nanami!!" yelled Luc as he entered the mens' side.
Tetsu sighed. " Heh, same ol' lover's quarrel."
Nanami and Luc suddenly poked their heads out of the sides and replied in unison, " We heard
that Tetsu."
In the bathrooms..............
Nanami was having a nice quiet bath, until she heard two more splashes, and opened her eyes to
see Millie and Meg with her.
" AHHHHHHHH!" screamed Nanami, because she wasn't expecting that.
"Wahahaha!!!" laughed Millie and Meg. Luc on the other side her Nanami scream and yelled over the
wall.
" Hey Nanami!! Why'd you scream?" yelled Luc. Once Nanami had calmed down, Nanami replied,
" Its just the two dummies, trying to scare the lights out of me." said Nanami glaring at Millie
and Meg.
" Was it Millie and Meg?" asked Luc. grinning.
" Yep." sighed Nanami.
" Okay." replied Luc, and all was quiet, until they heard Millie and Meg snorting.
" That was very cute Nanami." grinned Millie.
" Why don't you just ask Luc....." started Meg but Nanami swam over and covered her mouth.
" SHUT UP!!" growled Nanami.
After a couple more minutes, Millie and Meg left, with something in their hands, and grinning
evilly.
Once Nanami was finished, she got out of the bathtub, ( WITH THE TOWEL ON HER OF COURSE, SHE HAD
IT THROUGH OUT THE WHOLE BATH THING.)
" Huh, where are my....." thought Nanami, then it hit her. The "bundle" that Millie and Meg
were carrying were her clothes!!"
" OH NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" screamed Nanami.
Tetsu shouted from the outside. " Nanami what's wrong!!"
" I need to talk to Luc!!" she shouted back.
" ARE YOU CRAZY!! I CAN'T DO THAT!!! ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR BROTHER AND JOWI AROUND!!" shouted
Tetsu into the girls' hallway to their side of the bathroom.
" Don't worry!! He'll just be outside the door, promise." said Nanami.
" Fine, but if your brother finds out, I'm keeping out of the argument." said Tetsu, as he got up
and went into the boy's bathroom.
Luc was just finished getting dressed and was out the door of the men's bathroom. He bumped into
Tetsu on the way.
" Nanami, errrr, wants you." said Tetsu, nervously. Luc looked at him confused.
" Is she waiting for me out there?" asked Luc pointing outside of the bathroom, where the two
hallway entraces were.
" No, she wants YOU to see HER in the GIRLS hallway." finished Tetsu running back outside and
sitting down.
It took Luc about three seconds, before he processed everything.
" *Gulp*, just hope Ranma and Jowi won't find out about this." said Luc to himself as he entered
the girls hallway. When he came to the door, he knocked.
"Luc? Don't come in!!" shouted Nanami. Luc sighed in relief.
'Thank you god.' thougth Luc.
" I pretty much had that figured. What do you want me for, you know if Ranma and Jowi were to
get wind of this, i'd be a dead man and kicked out of the army ya know." said Luc.
" Yeah, but all you need to do is get Millie and Meg to get my clothes back." replied Nanami
sheepishly. Luc now had a nose bleed and a hard time breathing. He started to cough and pounded
his chest and get the air back in. When he got his breath back, his face paled.
" UrK!! You mean those two ran off with everything?" asked Luc. Nanami leaned against the door.
" Errr, yeah. I think you might be able to, since I can't really walk around with only a towel
on. Everyone will see me, and I don't want that to happen." replied Nanami sighing, Luc thought
for a moment.
'Now how did invisible spell go?' thought Luc, and then said to Nanami.
" You can go around the castle, without being seen Nanami." said Luc, smiling at his idea.
" Wha? How Luc?" asked Nanami, now curious.
" Lekknat taught me an invisible spell, just in case. Just concentrait on me and everything will
be okay. Well, if now one see our shadows, or if Bright or someone else like GenGen or Bob smell
out scent, we should be okay." grinned Luc.
'Luc, you are the one of the best people in the world to me.' thought Nanami happily.' I have go
and remeber to thank Luc for this.'
" Nanami?"
"Huh!?" yelled Nanami surprised, and being interuppted with her thoughts.
" I asked if this is okay with you. The only thing is you have to be near me once the spell is
casted." said Luc.
" Oh. Ummmmm, okay great!! Now would you mind turning around?" asked Nanami blushing furiously.
Luc was showing about six different shades of red on his face.
" Ye...yeah. Don't worry." replied Luc turning around with his face still going through six
shades of red.
The door creeked opened and Nanami stepped out. She had her hands on the towel, making sure it
didn't fall down.
" You okay?" asked Luc. His back was facing her and he started to blush furiously with Nanami
behind him also.
" Yes. Now get that spell up already please!! I'm already feeling uncomfortable." said Nanami.
" Okay, here goes. Oh ancient magic from within, four of the mighty winds. From the four points
come to me, North, South, East and West, concealing from thy master and friends!!" said Luc.
Winds from four different directions collided into them and blew around them.
" LUC!! I THINK THAT WAS A LITTLE TOO POWERFUL!!" yelled Nanami trying to keep her towel from
flying up.
" Sorry!! But this is how it goes!!" yelled Luc over the winds and suddenly as fast as they had
appeared, the winds somehow, disappeared.
" Are we invisible?" asked Nanami. Luc nodded his head.
" We may be able to see each other, but the others can't see us, but our shadows and scent
doesn't change, so we have to be careful."
" Okay, let's head up to my room." growled Nanami, thinking of the training that she'll put Meg
and Millie through, after this was all over.
" One more thing, since I casted the spell, you have to stay very close to me, because if you
stray too far from me, the invisible spell will flicker and then disapper." added Luc.
" YIPE!!" cried Nanami and grabbed hold of Luc's left arm.
Luc looked down at Nanami grabbing hold of him and thinking how cute she looks. Then he focused
on the destination plan.
After a couple of minutes, they were in front of the room that Millie, Meg, and Nanami slept in.
" C'mon." whispered Nanami, and Luc opened the door, and found that Millie and Meg must be out
with Connel and Kinnison.
Nanami looked around and found her clothes on the bed and grabbed them as quickly as possible.
" Now let's head back to the bathrooms, and........" started Luc, be he fell to one knee.
" LUC!!" cried Nanami. Luc was looking kinda pale, and he was sweating and breathing heavily.
" I'm..o...okay..Nan..Nanami. That..spe..spell takes a lot out...of..me." panted Luc.
" Close your eyes, 'cause I'm getting dressed." said Nanami firmly. She didn't want to have tire
himself out for her. Luc closed his eyes tightly and turned towards the door. It was three
minutes later that Luc was allowed to opened his eyes and look at Nanami.
" Is the spell gone?" asked Nanami worridly, looking at Luc.
" Yeah...*cough*, its gone now. Can you help me to my room?" asked Luc weakly," I'm not feeling
so hot."
" Sure Luc. Anything for you." smiled Nanami and she helped Luc up and helped walked him to his
room. She helped Luc remove his shoes and help him into bed.
" Thank you Nanami. I think I have a small cold." said Luc, coughing a bit.
" Don't worry, i'll stay here and help you." said Nanami. Luc shook his head.
" You really should, you might catch the...." started Luc, but Nanami silenced him with her
finger on his lips.
" Shhhhhhh. You rest, and I'll take care of everything else. I'll have to tell Ranma that if he
thinks you're going to battle that new army in this condition, he's got another thing coming!!"
said Nanami. Luc laughed slightly.
" Now get some rest and I'll come by later and check on you." said Nanami. Luc weakly nodded and
closed his eyes, and fell into a deep slumber.
" Good night, my love." whispered Nanami, and she gave Luc a kiss on the cheek. She got up and
left the room, closing the door quietly.
Later that day, she dragged Millie and Meg to their room, where they would have a QUIET talk.
But on this hour, 'a quiet talk' was an understatment, in Millie and Meg's case.
" HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME!?"
" Hey!! You called us dummies!! Doesn't that sound fair!!"
" Actaully, Meg, that really doesn't sound fair to Nanami."
" WHAT!? NOW YOU'RE TAKING HER SIDE!?"
"I'm not taking anybody's side!! I'm just saying that, even though it was extremly funny, AND I
wish i would never forget it....
" YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT GIRL!!"
" But I think we do owe Nanami an apology for taking her clothing."
"*Sigh*, you WERE the negotiator in our group Millie, but you're right. I'm sorry Nanami."
" Well, just don't let it happen again, and apology accepted."
" By the way Nanami," asked Meg curiously,
" What?" asked Nanami.
" How DID you get up here? i mean, if you walked around in a towel through the whole castle, Sheena would be stalking you, and the place would be at an uproar!!" cried Meg.
Millie and Nanami laughed at that Sheena stalking thing.
" But if he was stalking me, Ranma, Jowi and Luc would have taught him a lesson." laughed Nanami.
" Luc?" asked Millie, who stopped laughing at the mention of Lekknat's apperntice.
" Luc?" added Meg," Since when did he become so important to you?"
" Umm....well...ya see, the thing is...that...I..I..Love him." said Nanami whispering the last part. Millie and Meg grinned wildly.
" What?" asked Millie, putting her hand to her left ear to hear Nanami better. Nanami was getting frusterated.
" I said I loved him." said Nanami a bit louder.
" OH!! I see. YOU as in NANAMI LOVES LUC!!!" yelled Meg. Nanami went a brillient shade of scarlet and then covered Meg's big
fat blabbing mouth with her hands.
" Shut up will ya!!" growled Nanami. Meg just laughed and removed the hands from her mouth.
" Don't worry, we're the only ones in this tower. No one else heared it." grinned Millie, looking at Nanami cooling off.
" Okay, now answear our first question. HOW DID YOU GET UP HERE WITHOUT CREATING A RUCUS!?" shouted Meg.
Nanami was embarrassed and told Millie and Meg the whole thing.
Unknown to them, a shadow was listening closely at the conversation and then left as a breeze in the wind. The ninja left and arrived
a familier camp. The same camp that had hurt Kinnison.
There were several large tents, but the ninja headed towards the biggest one.
Inside was like a miniture palace. The ninja bowed as he arrived at the throne.
" Sir, I have come back with some intresting information." said the ninja.
" Arise Shade. Now tell me the info, and is it good to go with my master plan?" asked the shadow figure on the throne. Shade bowed. It
seems you were right. That young apprentice has taking a liking towards her, as the same as the girl. I've followed them for the last two
days, and they seem to be getting closer and closer together sir."
" What do you think. Should we wait a couple more weeks, or start on with phase one?" asked the shadow.
Shade thoughtfully thought this through, and replied, " No sir. It would be better to get them when they least expect it. Probably in about
three weeks from now, and start phase one." replied Shade. The shadow grinned insanly.
" Thank you Shade. You may rest up for the next week and half." Shade bowed and left the tent. When it was only thr figure left, the
shadow took out a picture of the apprentice and grinned.
" Very soon. Very soon I shall have the most powerful true rune, AND your most prized possestion. I shall then have my revenge on this
cursed land, reform it to my own liking and rule it like a god." said the shadow, and he started to laugh insanley.
Back to Wing Zero castle...........................
" KIYA!!!" cried Luc as he woke up in a sweat. He had just had a terrible nightmare. He saw the whole conversation with Shade and the
mysterious figure, but was cut off when it went after three weeks.
'What's going to happen in three weeks from now?" thought Luc." And why does that figure in the shadow creep me out, yet I feel I know
that being well before.' thought Luc.
Luc looked around his room. It was at night. He must have been more tired than he thought. He held his
head and remembered his dream.
'Still, what is going to happen in three wee...' thought Luc, but was interuppted by some running footsteps and then he heard them stop at his
door and started to open the door. Luc tried to grab for his gust rod, but he was still ill, and he was weak. So Luc waited for the door to open
and then tackle the intruder. Luc slowly got out of bed and got ready to tackle the intruder. The door was completly opened now, and there was a shadow figured by in the door
way. Luc ran and tackled the person and was on top of him or her. He was on top of him or her kneeling down and grabbing the person's wrists and holding them down.
" Who are you!!" said Luc at the figure. The figure meekly gasped out,
" GEE!! If you can tackle me this hard when you're ill, the training is paying off big time Luc!!" yelled the figure happily.
' Who the?' thought Luc and moved his body a little towards the left, letting the moonlight shine on the person's face, but Luc was afraid he alreadly knew who it was.
The moonlight shone through and it was in the person's face. Luc suddenly went a scarlet in the face fast and was sweating, because that tackle took almost all the energy he had
left in him. The light shone and it showed Luc the person's light brown hair and emerald eyes. The face was looking at Luc with a mixture of surprise, happiness, shocked and a lot
of embarrassment. It was the face of Nanami.
" Urk!! So..sorry Nanami. I had a nightmare and it wasn't very good." said Luc as he got off of Nanami and sat on the floor. Nanami got up and sat down next to Luc, closing the door behind her.
Nanami had on a two piece pajama set. She had on a white shirt and shorts that went an inch above her knee. Her hair was down and she didn't have that scarf in it either.
Luc just had his magician pants on. His green robes and shirt were removed. He was also barefooted along with Nanami.
" So," started Luc embarassed," why did you come running here?"
Nanami went pink in the face and replied," 'Cause I heard ya scream and that was rare mind you and I wanted to see if I could do anything calm you down."
Luc was to say surprised. " You, wanted to help ME?". Now Nanami was the one who was surprised.
" Yeah of course!! With Millie, Meg, Jowi and Ranma, you are one of the most important people in my life. You cared about me, when the others were busy, not that it was their
own fault. You took your own time to try to help me and I wanted to thank you Luc, for everything that you've down for me. Thank you Luc." said Nanami.
Her eyes were brimming with tears and were falling down.
" Thank you Luc. I care too much for you, and to let any harm come to you. I care way too much it hurts!!" cried Nanami, her eyes now pouring down tears.
Nanami tried desprestly to hide them from Luc. It has been a long time since the war three years ago, where everyone split up and then she hadn't even cried. She only cried when
Ranma seemed to be on a death mission. Especially the one where she heard Ranma had to enter the highland palace.
Music seem to fill the background, as Luc weakly walked over to where Nanami sat on his floor, sat down besides her, and let her cry into his embrace.
(AN: I DON'T OWN THIS SONG, OR ANY OTHER SONGS I ADD INTO THIS CHAPTER!! THE SONG RIGHT NOW IS FROM "JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS" CD)
THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE I SIT,
THIS IS THE PART WHER I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH
THIS IS AS HARD AS IT GETS, CAUSE I'M GETTING TIRED OF PRETENDING
THAT I'M TOUGH,
Luc just held Nanami there, holding her. After a while she was still crying, so Luc, gently picked up Nanami and walked to his bed and they both sat down there, and Nanami still continued to cry.
They just sat there for a while, only Nanami's quiet sobs were heard in the room.
I'M HERE IF YOU WANT ME, AND YOURS YOU CAN HOLD ME,
I'M EMPTY AND BROKEN, TUBLIN AND BREAKIN,
CAUSE YOU DON'T SEE ME, AND YOU DON'T NEED ME,
AND YOU LOVE ME, THE WAY I WISH YOU WOULD,
THE WAY I WISH YOU COULD,
Nanami stopped crying, but her eys were red. She looked at Luc and weakly smiled at him, just ignoring the sounds around them and just listening to the other's breathing. Nanami put her head on
Luc's chest and listened to his heart beating. She felt her heart and his beat in unison. Nanami smiled again, and snuggled closer into Luc and sighed in content.
CAUSE YOU SEE ME,
AND YOU DON'T NEED ME,
AND YOU DON'T LOVE ME, THE WAY I WISH YOU COULD,
THE WAY I WISH YOU WOULD,
Luc looked down an Nanami. Her eyes closed, breathing softly, and him just holding her tight, not ever wanting to ever let her go. Luc pulled her closer and Nanami's hair smelled like
strawberries. Nanami still had her eyes shut and was happy that Luc was holding her tightly. To Nanami, Luc smelled like fresh autaum leaves with
a little scent of cinnamon.
I DREAM OF A WORLD, WHERE YOU UNDERSTAND,
AND I DREAM A MILLION SLEEPLESS NIGHTS,
BUT I DREAM A FIRE WHEN YOU TOUCH MY HAND,
BUT IT TWISTS INTO SMOKE WHEN I TURN ON THE LIGHTS.
Nanami thought of all the times, her mind was on Luc, when she wasn't paying attention to what was going on around her. Especially the time when
Luc, Chaco, Pilika, herself, Ranma and Millie were posing as greenhill students, to find out what was going on in the town.
They were chasing a ghost, which turned out to be Flik. Nanami slightly giggled at how she remembered how Luc was wondering why he was even HELPING to get the ghost.
" Do you remember the time, when we were chasing after a ghost that turned out to be Flik?" asked Nanami.
Luc laughed." Yeah, you were scared stiff and you kept talking to Pilika like SHE was the one scared."
" Yeah, and after Ranma told me that one little sentence and I quote,"" At the strike of midnight...........""
" And I asked if you were scared, but that was pointless, because you were stuttering!!" replied Luc. Then he and Nanami shared a quiet laugh.
I'M SPEECHLESS AND FADED,
AND IT'S TOO COMPLICATED,
AND YOU DON'T LOVE ME, THE WAY I WISH YOU COULD,
THE WAY I WISH YOU WOULD,
Luc and Nanami stopped laughing, and looked into each other's eys. Brown met green, and gazes were locked and sealed with a key. They moved their heads
forward a bit, little by little, and closer and closer, till they were millimeters apart from each other, they moved forward and then,
CAUSE YOU DON'T SEE ME,
AND YOU DON'T NEED ME,
AND YOU DON'T LOVE ME, THE WAY I WISH YOU COULD,
THE WAY I WISH YOU WOULD,
Then they finally kissed. Nanami felt all her worries about Luc being endangered gone like the wind, and Luc's hidden feelings for Nanami
surfaced right up. They just sat there holding onto each other and were ina lip lock. Nanami sighed in content, that she finally got what she had wanted
from Luc for the longest time, she had ever known him.
THIS IS THE PLACE IN MY HEART,
THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE I'M FALLING APART,
Nanami suddenly felt something. She felt that she was breaking her and Luc's friendship by this. Her worryment went higher, and she was afraid that after this, they might not
want to be friends anymore. Namami was saddened at the thought.
ISN'T THIS THE PLACE WHERE WE JUST MET?
IS THIS THE LAST CHANCE I'LL EVER GET?
I WISH I WAS LONLEY,
INSTEAD OF JUST ONLY,
CRYSTAL AND SEE THOUGH, AND NOT A LOT TO Y0U,
CAUSE YOU DON'T SEE ME,
AND YOU DON'T NEED ME,
AND YOU DON'T LOVE ME, THE WAY I WISH YOU COULD,
THE WAY I WISH YOU WOULD
Nanami suddenly broke off the kiss and stood up. Luc looked surprised and stared at her. Nanami was hold her hands infront of her and
she had tears streaming down down her face. Luc stood up in front of her, he was about to take a step closer to her, but suddenly she ran out of the
room wordless. There she left Luc standing there, his heart feeling like it had been shredded.
CAUSE YOU DON'T SEE ME,
AND YOU DON'T NEED ME,
AND YOU DON'T LOVE ME, THE WAY I WISH YOU COULD,
THE WAY I WISH YOU WOULD.
Nanami was running down the hallways, her tears flying by as she ran. She ran all the way back to her room, and she jumped into bed, and started to cry into her pillow.
Soaking it thoughly. Luc just got back into bed and he just kept thinking about Nanami and that sad face he had seen on her. Luc cringed as he remembered that sight. He couldn't stand it
when Nanami cried like that. He fell into a dreamless sleep, only seeing Nanami's crying face in the darkness that was around him in his dreams
" Oh Luc, i'm so sorry!!" Nanami said crying into her pillow," I'm so sorry if I had hurt you. I'm just...just...JUST SO CONFUSED!!"
And with that notion, Nanami fell into a harder crying, soaking her pillow more, and thinking about Luc's sad and surprised look he had given her, when she had
ran off. She was very confused. Nobody had ever kissed her, or she kiss him. She had to think this through, and she did, with her
eyes getting red, she suddenly stopped crying and then she fell into a dreamless sleep like Luc, and with Luc's sad and surprised look only seeing that in the darkness.
CAUSE YOU DON'T SEE ME,
AND YOU DON'T NEED ME,
AND YOU DON'T LOVE ME, THE WAT I WISH YOU COULD,
THE WAY I WISH YOU WOULD.
The next morning, Nanami got up first. The sun was already up. She had done some serious thinking, and now she knew what she had to do.
She went down to Tetsu, and went into the girls bathroom and had a nice refreshing shower. Suddenly as she was cleaning herself,
Millie, Meg and Wakaba joined in with her.
" What's up Nanami?" asked Millie gently. Nanami may had not noticed. But while Meg was snoring, Millie had heard her crying in her sleep, repeatly calling out Lu's name.
" I'm fine Millie. Why do you ask?" asked Nanami quietly. This kinda surprised the girls. Usually Nanami would be telling them the training she did this morning with Luc, or
she would be trying to talk to Luc on the other side of the bathroom, behind the wall, but then this is new.
" Okay," said Wakaba, she turned towards the men's part and shouted.
" HEY!! IS THERE ANYONE THERE!?" yelled Wakaba. Nanami, Millie and Meg looked at Wakaba like she was out of her mind.
" JUST WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?" yelled Meg.
" WE WERE TRYING TO FIND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH NANAMI!!" added Millie.
" IF YOU WOULD STOP YELLING!! MAYBE LUC WOULD EXPLAIN HIS SIDE!!" yelled Wakaba.
" Oh." replied the two other girls.
Nanami just looked at them and sweat dropped. They were great friends, but sometimes, they just plan scared her
sometimes.
" Hehehe." grinned Nanami sheepishly.
" WELL!! ANYBODY THERE? LUC?" asked Wakaba yelling. There were some splashes on the other side, and then three other voices replied.
"NO!!" they all said in unison.
" Why? Ya want a boyfriend? Why not just Futch? He's right he..*SPLASH*" yelled a voice. It sounded as someone had pushed the first guy into the water.
"SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!!" yelled the second voice. The guy sounded embarrassed.
Then the person got to breath again once his head was out of the water and then said,
"Geez!! You didn't have to get so embarrassed. It's not like it's any difference, 'cause we both know you lo.....*SPLASH*"
The guy got dunked again.
" I DON'T KINNISON!! SHUT UP WOULD YOU!!!" yelled Futch.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" laughed at third voice.
" SHUT UP CONNEL!!!" yelled Futch and Kinnison in unison.
" This is too funny!!" replied Connel. Then there was another splash, and this time, Connel was the one being dunked.
Meanwhile on ht other side, Millie, Meg and Wakaba's faces were all red. It was wither from the bath or from plain
embarassment. The boys were still fighting, until Tetsu came yelled to stop it and it ceased. While that was going on,
Nanami got dressed and left the bathroom.
Luc had finished his moring trainings. He would have done it with Nanami, but she wasn't here. So Luc just did them by himself.
He was still thinking about what had happened last night. After he was done, he headed for the bathrooms. Funny, if he had just come a littke
sooner, he would have seen Nanami, looking for him.
After he had finished his bath, he got dressed and headed towards the library. He took a short cut through the tavern, and saw Flik and Vicktor.
They saw him and waved. Flik suddenly stopped waving and looked at Luc seriously.
" Luc what's the matter?"
" Nothing, I just.....ummmm, nothing." replied Luc flatly and left.
" Something IS wrong with the kid." said Flik as he stared at Luc's retreating back.
" Girl problems." replied Vicktor with a matter of factly in his voice. " Like you."
" What do you mean by that?" asked Flik staring at Vicktor drinking down his beer.
" two words. Greenhill student."
" Erk."
" Heh. So lighting Flik has a weakness."
" Do not. How would you feel if a girl nine years younger than you kept following you."
" Okay. So maybe you just have good logic."
" We should watch Luc. I have a feeling something interesting is going to great is going to happen."
" Eh? If you say so."
Nanami was running around the castle looking for Luc. Then she stopped when she remembered something she and Luc had talked about, one time when they
were training.
' He said he was going to the library to find somethings on "cursed runes".' thought Nanami. So she turned from where she was
standing and then headed to the library. When she got outside the tavern, she didn't notice Flik and Viktor walking out and she ran right pass them.
Nanami looked right first, she didn't see him, then she turned her head left and saw Luc. Nanami smiled happily.
" LUC!!! WAIT!!!"
Luc was walking nearing his destination and then he heard his name.
" LUC!!! WAIT!!!"
Luc turned around and was surprised that it was Nanami. Nanami ran up to him and grabbed his hand.
Luc looked at Nanami questionaly. They didn't notice that certain people were looking at them.
People for instance were, Kasumi coming out of the dojo, Millie, Meg, Wakaba coming from their baths, Kinnison, Connel and
Futch, arguing the whole way, and were stopped quickly when they saw Nanami and Luc together. Flik and Viktor, coming out of the
tavern and grinning. Nina coming around the corner looking for Flik, Ellie just walking around, Rina coming out of the
tavern after some tea, Gengen and gaboocha were just staring there, wondering what was going on, Hix and Tengarr coming out of the
dojo, from trying to get Hix to be a warrior, they stopped when the crowed was coming and looking onwards, wondering what was going on,
Chaco was on top of the little tower with the telescope, looking downwards, and trying to look out for Sid, and
Ayda was looking for Kinnison because his wolf partner Shiro, couldn't find him, she stopped and so did Shiro, as they
saw what the crowed had gathered for.
They still didn't see the crowed looking at them, but just looked at each other.
" Pssst!! Kinnison!! Futch!!" said Meg and Wakaba.
" What?" asked Futch and Kinnison. Meg and Wakaba told them two CERTAIN people to come and see this.
" But how would we get them?" asked Kinnison looking at his girlfriend.
" They ARE kinda difficult to deal with. Especially when they want to get some sleep." added Futch. Meg and Wakaba grinned. They then whispered their plan on how to get them
up. Futch and Kinnison were grinning.
" Alright, but if I get hurt, YOU'RE going to be the one explaining." said Kinnison grinning.
" I'll just try to explain the situation, AFTER they see the little "show"" added Futch laughing. Then the two of them ran off.
" What did you guys have planned?" asked Connel.
" You'll see." grinned Meg.
"Huh?" wondered Millie and Connel looking at each other and looking at Meg and Wakaba strangley.
" Luc, the reason I ran off, was because I was well, confused." said Nanami looking at Luc.
" Confused?" asked Luc. Nanami nodded.
" I never....well...you know. i've.....i'veneverbeenkissedbefore." replied Nanami saying the last part rather quickly, that it was all jumbled together and Luc didn't get it.
" Ummm, could you repeat it?" asked Luc. Nanami blushed harder.
" I said, i've nerver been kissed before." she repeated.
" Errr. Eheheh." replied Luc, now the one being embarrassed. From the crowed, everyone was thinking of the samething.
'COME ON YOU TWO!!!"
'KISS HER LUC!!!' thought all the boys.
'KISS HIM NANAMI!!!' though all the girls.
Back to Kinnison and Futch
" You head to his room and i'll go to his room." said Kinnison. Both of them had a bucket in their hand, it was full of water.
" Eh!? *sigh*. Fine, at least i'll have a little easier time." sighed Futch.
" Why is that?" asked Kinnison curious.
" Because I have to wake up his wife first." replied Futch as he ran off.
" Whatever." sighed Kinnison as he walked up the stairs to the room.
Futch knocked on the door of Jowi's room. There was a shuffle of feet and then the door opened. It was Pilika.
" Hello Futch. What are you doing here?" asked Jillia coming up.
" Big moment for Nanami and Luc. I have to wake your husband up, if you don't mind. I would hurry to get the good parts."
grinned Futch. Jillia was surprised at first, because she never was told anything like that. She liked it.
" C'mon Pilika. Aunt Nanami is going to get a boyfriend." grinned Jillia as she ran to the elevator with Pilika's hand in her hand.
" REALLY!!" cried Pilika. Then they disappeared in the elevator.
Futch looked at Jowi. He had kicked the sheets off, and was snoring. Futch was near histerics. He lifted the pail of water and dumped it onto Jowi. Just like his reaction to when
Ranma had done this, Jowi screamed, yelled at Luc that he was going to get him, and Futch ran off, faster than he had ever anticipated.
Kinnison was running next to him, and having a soaked Ranma chasing him along with a soaking wet Jowi.
" *huff* *puff*, I take it you got it." said Kinnison.
" What does it look like smart guy?" asked Futch repling sacastically. They ran off, hopefully making it back to the scene before it got to the end.
Back to Nanami, Luc and the growing crowed.
" You were confused. I guess I was too." replied Luc.
" I had a feeling that you might. I just want to apologize that I ran off." said Nanami. Luc smiled and gave Nanami a hug.
" Hey, its okay. I bet everyone feels that way, when they do something that they don't expect can happen." replied Luc.
Nanami looked up into Luc's smiling face, and then got closer into the hug.
Luc was surprised at first, but then he held her tighter. Nanami looked at Luc and said THE three words.
" Luc,"
" Yeah,"
" I just want to say that I...."
" You can tell me Nanami, I won't hate you."
" I'm glad to hear that, I'm trying to say that I lov..."
" You what?"
" I love you Luc."
" *smile* I love you too Nanami, I love you too.
(AN: By now Ranma, Jowi, Jillia, Pilika, Kinnison and Futch had arrived just in time to hear Luc and Nanami's confessions.
Nanami's face were brimming with happy tears.
" You...you feel the same way?" asked Nanami. Luc smiled.
" I was going to confess to you three years ago, but..."
" But what? and why?"
" The Rockaxe castle infiltration. When those matilda soilders and Highland soilders were chasing us, and when we got to the hall,before
the flag and Gorudo's office, you and Ranma went a head, but when you said be careful everyone, I had a shiver up my spine that you would be
injured."
" Oh, you mean when I got "killed"."
" Yeah. The whole castle felt sadness and were almost dead, but we kept fighting. I think Ranma was fighting to get back at them for killing you."
" Same old Ranma."
" I think Jowi and Ranma fought Gorudo when you were unconcious."
" I'm happy, they were fighting together once again. Even if was only once that one time."
" Yeah."
Just like last night, their gazes were locked and sealed, and they leaned closer to each other.
Everyone were waiting for the results and then it happened and everyone was in an uproar.
Luc and Nanami had a REAL kiss. Nanami's arms were around Luc's neck and Luc's arms were around her waist.
Nobody noticed the sign of the true wind rune on Luc's forehead, or the Starblaze rune sign on the forehead of Nanami, and
that they grew brighter, but no one saw it glowing bright. It was as if they couldn't see it at all.
(AN: This is going in the order, in which the crowed was announced in :p)
" How cute."
" YES!!! ALRIGHT WE DID IT!!! WOO-HOO!!! "
" ALRIGHT!!!"
" The kid is finally happy."
" Ya know, I always thought he would be with that other magician from the liberation army, but he is truley happy now."
" *sigh* How romantic, I hope Sir Flik will like me like that."
" I thought those two would be a couple. Now if I could only say those words."
" Ho ho ho. Its about time they got together. But it was funny seeing them blush."
" What those human is doing Gengen?"
" We get out. Gaboocha too young for to be watching this human thing. Now we go. NOW!!"
" Oh Hix. Isn't that so romantic? I wish a certain SOMEONE would tell me that, even though I already know it."
" Huh!? Oh...ummm...Tengarr...I..err....you see...ummm....I HAVE TO GET BACK TO TRAINING!!"
" Oh yuck!! Why would people want to do that? AIEEEEEE!!! I gotta hide!! Sid's coming this way!!"
" What do you think about that Shiro?"
" Awwwwoooo!!!!"
" Its about time don't ya think Jowi."
" Yeah. And as a bonus, YOU get a new brother AND we get to tease Luc."
When they finally let go of each other, their faces went a brillient scarlet.
They saw nearly a fourth of the silver army standing there. They saw Futch and Wakaba holding each other's hands and jumping up and down.
They saw Millie, Meg, Connel and Kinnison grinning at them like crazy, Jowi and Ranma whistling and clapping.
Jillia smiling and laughing and Pilika waving.
Soon everyone went back to where they were. Tengarr ran after Hix, Flik ran from Nina, Futch and Wakaba let go of each other and blushed like crazy,
Ellie and Ranma went off talking, but not before Jowi made a comment that they couldn't hear and making Ellie and Ranma blush.
Jowi later went some where, along with Pilika and Jillia.
" So, how does it feel to finally be a couple?" asked Wakaba.
" Yeah, details please if you don't mind." added Futch. Luc eyed Futch.
" Gee, maybe you should tell US about your DETAILS with Wakaba." replied Luc grinning. Futch and Wakaba blushed madly.
" Awww, isn't that just precious!! Just look at you two. Acting like Luc and Nanami did before they were a couple!!"
laughed Ayda coming up.
" Yeah, you go that right sis, right Shiro, Meg?" added Kinnison laughing.
" HEY!! WILL YOU GUYS JUST BE QUIET!!"
Luc, Nanami, Millie, Connel, Meg, Kinnison, and Ayda were laughing at the embarrasement of the soon-to-be-couple.
Then they stopped being embarrassed and joined in the laughter.
Back at the Black Sage Guild camp site...............................
Nobody at the castle saw it, excpet for the leader of the enemy army.
" HOW COULD THIS OF HAPPEN!!!" yelled the man. He in his frustration knocked over a table.
He saw the rune sign glow brighter and brighter, until he had to cover his eyes, and when the light was gone, he opened his eyes and saw his crystal ball was destroyed
from the pureness of the rune bearers.
" Very soon, Ranma, and your little army will be gone and i'll get my revenge, prize and world on a silver platter" grinned the shadow.
" How soon shall that be sir?" asked a new voice. The shadow didn't even need to turn around, because he knew who it was.
" Omnious, glad you got here. In about three of less weeks. Then we shall complete the phases we have been planning for years.
" Anything I can do for you this moment sire?" asked Omnious.
" Not now, when I give you orders." replied the shadow and then Omnious bowed and exited the tent.
The shadow, turned and sat back on his throne. He grabbed a fruit and He looked at the picture once again.
" Very so apprentice boy, very soon, everything shall crumble around you like stone being destoryed, dear brother of mine."
laughed the shadow and as he said that the fruit seemed to burned by fire in his palm.
" Very soon brother!! VERY SOON YOU SHALL SEE MY TRUE MEANINGS AND REGRET WHAT LEKKNAT DID TO ME ALL THOSE YEARS
AGO!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!"
Back at the castle everyone was still talking, when Luc felt the same coldness that surrounded him when he woke up from that terrible nightmare.
" Luc, are you alright?" asked Nanami, bending down to help Luc up.
'Why is this happening!?' thought Luc wildly.
" What's wrong man, you need to go to Huan?" asked Futch.
" No...just a bad feeling that someone is planning something." replied Luc, standing up with Nanami's help and then after a couple of seconds, he was able to stand on his own.
" What's so bad about someone planning something?" asked Millie.
" The someone is planning some kind of revenge and destrution plans for the Silver Country." replied Luc grimly.
" You can feel that!?" Kinninson yelled surprised," But how!! Isn't that like a premotation?"
" Yeah, but the scary thing is, I feel that I knew this guy or girl some time ago." replied Luc.
" Strange." replied Everyone else.
But they didn't know that something will happen, in the next couple of days.

*************************************************************************************************
Ranma was feeling dizzy and was having trouble keeping his vison striaght. His legs felt
all watery, and he started to feel pain in his head. As he was walking down the stairs to the
first floor, he had a hand up to the wall to help maintain his balance, and as the moon shined
in his face, he suddenly tripped and he fell down the remaining stairs.He was too weak to move
a muscle and just layed there. Before his vison went black, he saw a female figure run towards
him calling his name. As she was nearing, Ranma's vision started to waver, he was able to see
who the person was.
" Ell..Ellie?" the all was black.
" That's the last time I let Rina talk me into those late night conversations. She always nags
me to go and tell him my feelings, but who am I kidding. He's lord and i'm just a gypsy girl.
STUPID RINA!!!" Ellie shouted to the outside. She calmed down and remembered exactly what Rina
had told her.
FLASHBACK.............................................................
" Ellie, you know you're going to have to tell him some time." stated Rina as she took a sip of
her drink.
" I...I don't know what you're talking about sis!!" cried Ellie flushed. Rina only smirked.
" Oh I don't know. Maybe the little CRUSH you have on RANMA will ring a bell." It most certanly
did in Ellie's case. Her whole face went from her normal skin color, to serveral shades of red.
" I really don't know Rina. I mean, we're so different. I'm or we are just a group of gypies,
while Ranma is Lord of Wing Zero castle."
Rina huffed." Please. You have had a crush on him since that performence in Ryube, when you
were doing your knife throwing act. Anyway, ranks have nothing to do with it. If you didn't know,
there's a rumor that Luc and Nanami like each other, and they're really different. Luc is a
student of Lekknat while Nanami is the DAUGHTER of THE Genkaku."
" I guess. But i'll tell him when I want to Rina, and there's nothing you can do about it!!"
cried Ellie, and she got up and left, never noticing a look triumph, on Rina's face.
**********************End of Flash Back******************************************************
As Ellie was heading up the stairs up to her room, she saw a figure coming down the stairs. At
first, Ellie thought it was an enemy spy, since there was suppose to be another army wanting to
take over the Silver Country, but as she looked more closley and carefully, she noticed that the
figure was limping. After she saw that, she knew that it was okay, because there weren't any
sounds of fighting, and so she knew it had to be one of the 108 stars, but the question was, WHY
was the person limping. As Ellie moved closer, she saw the refected moonlight on the figure's
face was that of Ranma, and as he suddenly tripped, and layed there on the floor not moving, she
ran to his aid. When she got near him he looked up and muttered out, " Ell...Ellie?", and then
he fainted.
It took Ellie about a second to absorbed what had happened, and then she ran towards Ranma.
She turned him over onto his back, and saw him still breathing. Ellie sighed in relief.
" C'mon Ranma. Let's get you back to your room." said Ellie. Ellie put his arm onto her
shoulders, and had her other arm, on his left side. Ranma had enough strenght to reply.
" Ellie, I have to go....back to...Dr.Huan. I was sleeping there." replied Ranma. Ellie nodded
and as Ranma was about to go on, Ellie shushed him.
" Okay, but please save your strength. You'll need it for the other army Ranma."
Ranma looked at her. As Ellie was helping him to Huan, Ranma, for the first time, saw Ellie,
from how the moonlight reflected off her jet black her, and her determined brown eyes. In Ranma's
point of view, she was undeniable gorgeous. Ranma suddenly felt his cheeks go red for some
reason.
'I've never felt like this before, or looked at Ellie this way. I kinda like this feeling'
thought Ranma. As they entered Huan's office, they could see Kinnison, light snoring in his
sleep.
Ellie helped Ranma to bed and pulled the covers up. As Ellie was about to leave, Ranma muttered
out, just enough for Ellie to hear, " Thank you.", and then he fell asleep.
Ellie just stood there in the door way staring at Ranma sleeping.
'He looks so cute." Ellie thought. Actually, in Ellie's vison, she though Ranma was VERY handsome
after three years of not seeing him. Ellie sighed in content as she saw the moonlight reflect off
the golden head piece on Ranma, and the shadows dancing around his lone figure.
'One of these days Ranma, one of these days, i'll tell you how much I love you.' thought Ellie,
and with that thought in mind for the future, Ellie left the room, quietly shutting the door
behind her.
In the dojo, a good several hour after dawn had come......................
" HIYAAA!!!!"
" C'mon Luc!! Punch it like your life depended on it!!"
" HAAA!!!"
" HARDER!! PUNCH IT AS YOUR LOVED ONE WAS IN DANGER!!"
" TAKE THIS!!!!" and then there was a sound of a wooden punching dummy, being broken in two.
" Whoops." said Luc, wiping off the sweat off of his forehead, staring at the dummy in amazment.
" YEAAAHHH!!! YOU DID IT LUC!! IF YOU KEEP THIS PACE UP, YOU'LL BE STRONG IN NO TIME!!" shouted
Nanami gleefully. Luc smiled at Nanami, " Hey, you're getting good with your runes also you
know. If you keep THAT up, you'll probably be as good as me."
" I hope so!! I wanna be ready for this fight!! I still don't like wars, but this one is really
serious." said Nanami. She walked over to Luc and they both sat down, both tired, but not tired
enough to complete the practice this morning.
" So, what do you think happened to Ranma yesterday?" asked Nanami quietly. Luc looked at her
and told her his thoughts on the subject.
" Strange." replied Luc flatly.
" Strange? Why is that Luc?" asked Nanami confused. Luc sighed.
" I felt this strange aura around Ranma, just before he fainted. It was like a curse aura. It
was pitch black, and surround your brother and suddenly disappeared, as soon as it had come."
replied Luc.
" Ummm, do you think it had anything to do with that strange beast we encountered?" asked
Nanami, thoughtfully.
" Maybe. I'm going to the library, later today, to find some books on magical curses, because I
think that's what is wroung with Ranma." added Luc.
" What's with a magical curse?" asked Nanami.
"Well. Let's see. Magical curses have to be placed on the victim, when he or she is very young.
The curse ususally has a form, that is needed to mark the victim," started Luc.
" But what do you mean by 'mark the victim'?" asked Nanami.
" Well, the curse won't have any effect, if it didn't have a scratch or wound with it. The wound
only shows for about several minutes, and if the person is lucky, a true rune will heal it, but
it won't cure the victim, only contain the curse for a good several years as I estimate. When the
years are over, the victim starts going through strange illness, and when the big one hits, you
have to find the cure in a certain amount of time, and if you don't make the anidote or you
run out of time, the person gets expired." finished Luc grimly. Luc looked over to see Nanami's
sad face. Luc felt guilty.
' Nice going!! You just cheered her up well.' Luc thought angrily. Luc sighed and reached over
to tell Nanami he was sorry for telling her those awfull things. Then Nanami turned to him and
smiled. Now Luc was the one confused.
" Thanks Luc. At least I have an idea what could be wroung with Ranma. May I accompany you to the
library?" asked Nanami. Luc felt relieved and nodded his head.
" Well!! Now let's have a physical match. I think you had enough practice to go against me."
grinned Nanami.
" Fine by me. With or without weapons?" asked Luc, pointing his thumb at Nanami's and his own
weapons.
"No weapons.They only assist. The true power relys on the trust you have in yourself and others."
replied Nanami getting into a fighting stance. Luc grinned and replied,
" Genkaku told you that?" he asked, getting himself into a fighting position,
" No. I think i've listened to Shu telling Ranma one too many sayings." replied Nanami. Then
Luc and Nanami had a friendly practice battle.
Back at Huan's office
Ranma woke up, feeling a whole lot better than he had the other night.
" I must remember to thank Ellie for her kindness, later today." thought Ranma.
Huan entered and was surprised to see Ranma already awake.
" Well, let me just check you over and then you may go." said Huan. He did his check up and Ranma
was fine. Ranma got out of bed, and put on his boots, gloves and scarf, then left the room. His
first thought was getting even with Jowi for splashing him awake. Ranma grinned. He went to
looking for a bucket and found one later by Tetsu's bathtubs. He fill it up with water and was
grinning all the way up the stairs.
He saw Flik and Victor arguing on the way to the bar, they said their hello's and asked if her
was alright, to be walking around. Ranma waved it off and stated that he was alright. Then Flik
and Victor continued their arguing to the bar. Ranma sighed. He didn't know which arguing was
worse. Victor and the star dragon sword, or Victor and Flik. Actually, both of the arguments
were pretty bad. Anyway, Ranma sneaked up to Jowi's door and opened it quietly. He saw Jillia and
Pilika coming to the door.
" Ranma, how are you feeling?" asked Jillia quietly, trying not to wake her husband.
" Just fine. How're you and Pilika adjusting to my castle?" asked Ranma. Jillia grinned.
" It may not be L'Renolle, but it's more alive than my home." replied Jillia.
"Uncle Ranma? Are you going to get Jowi back for the times he got you wet?" asked Pilika grinning
like a natural eight year old. Jillia giggled.
" Of course Pilika. Jillia, would you be so kindly as to move from the premesence.I wouldn't want
you to be injured here while Jowi, is, how shall we say. Busy for the time being?" grinned Ranma.
" Of course Lord Ranma," grinned Jillia, playing along." We shall leave at this moment so that
you can take it upon yourself, to get revenge on my husband for when he had gotten yourself
splashed in the face today. Pilika come."
" 'Kay!! bye Ranma!!" said Pilika waving her farewells for Ranma. As the door shut behind Jillia
and Pilika, and as Jillia got to the first floor, she said," Pilika, let's go have breakfast."
Back in Jowi's room
" Snooooorrrrrrr."
Ranma was almost in hysterics at his revenge.
" Good morning Jowi." grinned Ranma as he lifted the bucket over Jowi's head. He paused for the
moment, looking at Jowi's peaceful face.
" I almost feel BAD about doing it. Oh Well. This is for all those other times Jowi Aterides
Blight." grinned Ranma, and then he drenched Jowi in the freezing cold water and Jowi woke up
with a scream and looking at a laughing Ranma.
" RRRRAAAANNNNMMMMAAAA!!!" screamed Jowi drenched.
" Now you know how I feel!!" laughed Ranma sprinting for the door, with a wet Jowi on his trail.
Ranma had Jowi chase him all over the castle, until Jowi got tired and stopped. Ranma was
breathing hard, but still laughing at being able to get his revenge on Jowi.
" Alright, so ya got me. How about after I get into some dry clothes, we'll go have breckfast
together with Nanami." said Jowi as he and Ranma headed back towards the entrance of the castle.
Ranma just laughed harder.
" She probably already did with Luc." grinned Ranma. Jowi smiled. Ranma turned his head towards
the left and saw Ellie heading past the bar. Ranma said he see Jowi later and to meet him by Hai
Yo's diner. Jowi asked why, and Ranma replied that it wasn't any of his concerns and ran off to
catch up with Ellie.
" Stupid Rina." Ellie mummbled. Rina had cornered Ellie into one of her conversations again
about admiting your love.
" Sheesh, she makes it sound soooooo easy," grumbled Ellie, stopping by the pond by the dojo.
" I just can't go up to Ranma and say, hey Ranma!! Did you know that I lov...." Ellie said to
herself, but when she got to the part of when she said what she would tell Ranma about her true
feelings, she turned around and actually saw him, and luckily stopped herself from giving away
her secret.
" Uhhhh, tell me WHAT Ellie?" asked Ranma.
" Errr, nothing important right now." grinned Ellie, nervously while her face went red.
Ranma looked at her confused then ignored it.
" Ummm, I just came her to thank you for, uh.....you know, about how you helped me?" stated
Ranma. Ellie's cheeks turned slightly pink and nodded her head.
" Well, this is a thank you gift." said Ranma smiling. Ellie looked up confused by her eyes
opened wide when Ranma leaned forwards and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
When Ranma pulled away, his cheeks were starting to show a blazing red, and Ellie was also a
blazing red in the cheeks.
" I gotta go. I have meetings to go to and I promised Jowi I eat breckfast with him. I'll talk
to you later!!" yelled Ranma, as he ran off to meet with Jowi. Ellie just stood there with her
hand touching the cheek Ranma had given her a kiss on.
" I think I fallen for you even deeper Ranma." smiled Ellie and walked towards the castle
entrance, to find something to do.
Back to Jowi and Ranma at Hai Yo's diner.............
" So, what was so important, that you come back blushing?" asked Jowi raising an eyebrow, at the
extremly red Ranma.
" N..nothing of your concern Jowi. Can't you just leave the subject alone?" asked Ranma as he
finished up his pancakes.
" Nope, this is just a too good of a chance to pass buddy. Now, once again, WHY are your cheeks
red?" asked Jowi.
" Now once again," Ranma mimicked Jowi," I'm not going to tell you."
"Aww!! Come on Ranma!!, its like you have a secret..." Jowi started but then trailed off and
was smiling. Ranma got scared.
" Er...Jowi? What's wrong?" Ranma asked, nervously.
" Do you have a crush on someone?" asked Jowi. Jowi must've hit the direct target, because now,
Ranma was blushing furiously and finshing his pancakes up quickly and got up and left.
Jowi started to laugh and he paid for the meal, since it was on him, and followed Ranma to the
second floor meeting room, all on the way asking who he liked.
" Kasumi?" asked Jowi.
" NO WAY!! She's okay in all, but I think she has her heart sent on someone else." shouted Ranma.
" Jean?"
" Too old, and kinda creepy."
"Vikki?"
" She's okay, but no."
"Anita?"
" ARE YOU CRAZY!?"
"Rina?"
" Was there POISON in your food this morning?"
"Okay!! Sheesh!! How about Leona."
" I know you're kidding on that one. Besides, I think she likes Shu."
" WHAT!? Actually, they would make a cute couple. Anyway, Hanna?"
"Amazon Hanna!? You've got to be kidding!! SHE'S WAY TOO OLD!!!"
" Treasa?"
" You have got to stop asking me about these older women!! NO!!"
"Then how about Ellie?"
" Errrrr....she's fine. I mean she's okay!! Yeah!! Ellie's okay!!"
" Hahahahahha!! YOU LIKE ELL...." shouted Jowi, but Ranma covered Jowi's mouth while blushing
furiously.
" Tell anyone and you're toast." growled Ranma, removing his hand from Jowi's abnormally large
mouth, when he gets the upper hand.
" Fine, fine. I'll seal my lips." replied Jowi. Then they entered the great hall. Everyone was
happy to see that Ranma was fine, and they discussed some resent information on the terrible
army.
" They call themselves the " Dark Sage Guild"." stated Flik.
" What are they trying to acheive?" asked Jowi. Apple shook her head.
"That's the thing, we can't figure out any of their motives. But from what our people are telling
us, is that they want to destroy everything and rebuild it to their own liking. Their leader is
the most dangerous person, but the leader always keeps back at the home base hidden near where
Kinnison was attacked. We've told all the other cities to be prepared about the army." stated
Apple. Then they disscussed what to do if the army made any moves.
Back to Luc and Nanami.......................
" This one was the one that progressed the most in my opinion." grinned Nanami. Luc smiled also.
" Yeah, but we probably need to soak longer in Tetsu's baths than usual." laughed Luc. Both of
them were sweating. When they got to Tetsu, he smiled at them.
" Hiya Luc, Nanami. Same routine. Men to the left and women to the right, and try not to throw
water bombs above the wall, please. It took me last time three hours to dry the floor off, so
no one slipped." said Tetsu. Nanami and Luc grinned sheepishly.
" Eheheheh. Sorry 'bout that Tetsu. Anyway it was Luc's fault!!" cried Nanami laughing as she
ran into the right side.
" Hey!!! You were the one that started it Nanami!!" yelled Luc as he entered the mens' side.
Tetsu sighed. " Heh, same ol' lover's quarrel."
Nanami and Luc suddenly poked their heads out of the sides and replied in unison, " We heard
that Tetsu."
In the bathrooms..............
Nanami was having a nice quiet bath, until she heard two more splashes, and opened her eyes to
see Millie and Meg with her.
" AHHHHHHHH!" screamed Nanami, because she wasn't expecting that.
"Wahahaha!!!" laughed Millie and Meg. Luc on the other side her Nanami scream and yelled over the
wall.
" Hey Nanami!! Why'd you scream?" yelled Luc. Once Nanami had calmed down, Nanami replied,
" Its just the two dummies, trying to scare the lights out of me." said Nanami glaring at Millie
and Meg.
" Was it Millie and Meg?" asked Luc. grinning.
" Yep." sighed Nanami.
" Okay." replied Luc, and all was quiet, until they heard Millie and Meg snorting.
" That was very cute Nanami." grinned Millie.
" Why don't you just ask Luc....." started Meg but Nanami swam over and covered her mouth.
" SHUT UP!!" growled Nanami.
After a couple more minutes, Millie and Meg left, with something in their hands, and grinning
evilly.
Once Nanami was finished, she got out of the bathtub, ( WITH THE TOWEL ON HER OF COURSE, SHE HAD
IT THROUGH OUT THE WHOLE BATH THING.)
" Huh, where are my....." thought Nanami, then it hit her. The "bundle" that Millie and Meg
were carrying were her clothes!!"
" OH NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" screamed Nanami.
Tetsu shouted from the outside. " Nanami what's wrong!!"
" I need to talk to Luc!!" she shouted back.
" ARE YOU CRAZY!! I CAN'T DO THAT!!! ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR BROTHER AND JOWI AROUND!!" shouted
Tetsu into the girls' hallway to their side of the bathroom.
" Don't worry!! He'll just be outside the door, promise." said Nanami.
" Fine, but if your brother finds out, I'm keeping out of the argument." said Tetsu, as he got up
and went into the boy's bathroom.
Luc was just finished getting dressed and was out the door of the men's bathroom. He bumped into
Tetsu on the way.
" Nanami, errrr, wants you." said Tetsu, nervously. Luc looked at him confused.
" Is she waiting for me out there?" asked Luc pointing outside of the bathroom, where the two
hallway entraces were.
" No, she wants YOU to see HER in the GIRLS hallway." finished Tetsu running back outside and
sitting down.
It took Luc about three seconds, before he processed everything.
" *Gulp*, just hope Ranma and Jowi won't find out about this." said Luc to himself as he entered
the girls hallway. When he came to the door, he knocked.
"Luc? Don't come in!!" shouted Nanami. Luc sighed in relief.
'Thank you god.' thougth Luc.
" I pretty much had that figured. What do you want me for, you know if Ranma and Jowi were to
get wind of this, i'd be a dead man and kicked out of the army ya know." said Luc.
" Yeah, but all you need to do is get Millie and Meg to get my clothes back." replied Nanami
sheepishly. Luc now had a nose bleed and a hard time breathing. He started to cough and pounded
his chest and get the air back in. When he got his breath back, his face paled.
" UrK!! You mean those two ran off with everything?" asked Luc. Nanami leaned against the door.
" Errr, yeah. I think you might be able to, since I can't really walk around with only a towel
on. Everyone will see me, and I don't want that to happen." replied Nanami sighing, Luc thought
for a moment.
'Now how did invisible spell go?' thought Luc, and then said to Nanami.
" You can go around the castle, without being seen Nanami." said Luc, smiling at his idea.
" Wha? How Luc?" asked Nanami, now curious.
" Lekknat taught me an invisible spell, just in case. Just concentrait on me and everything will
be okay. Well, if now one see our shadows, or if Bright or someone else like GenGen or Bob smell
out scent, we should be okay." grinned Luc.
'Luc, you are the one of the best people in the world to me.' thought Nanami happily.' I have go
and remeber to thank Luc for this.'
" Nanami?"
"Huh!?" yelled Nanami surprised, and being interuppted with her thoughts.
" I asked if this is okay with you. The only thing is you have to be near me once the spell is
casted." said Luc.
" Oh. Ummmmm, okay great!! Now would you mind turning around?" asked Nanami blushing furiously.
Luc was showing about six different shades of red on his face.
" Ye...yeah. Don't worry." replied Luc turning around with his face still going through six
shades of red.
The door creeked opened and Nanami stepped out. She had her hands on the towel, making sure it
didn't fall down.
" You okay?" asked Luc. His back was facing her and he started to blush furiously with Nanami
behind him also.
" Yes. Now get that spell up already please!! I'm already feeling uncomfortable." said Nanami.
" Okay, here goes. Oh ancient magic from within, four of the mighty winds. From the four points
come to me, North, South, East and West, concealing from thy master and friends!!" said Luc.
Winds from four different directions collided into them and blew around them.
" LUC!! I THINK THAT WAS A LITTLE TOO POWERFUL!!" yelled Nanami trying to keep her towel from
flying up.
" Sorry!! But this is how it goes!!" yelled Luc over the winds and suddenly as fast as they had
appeared, the winds somehow, disappeared.
" Are we invisible?" asked Nanami. Luc nodded his head.
" We may be able to see each other, but the others can't see us, but our shadows and scent
doesn't change, so we have to be careful."
" Okay, let's head up to my room." growled Nanami, thinking of the training that she'll put Meg
and Millie through, after this was all over.
" One more thing, since I casted the spell, you have to stay very close to me, because if you
stray too far from me, the invisible spell will flicker and then disapper." added Luc.
" YIPE!!" cried Nanami and grabbed hold of Luc's left arm.
Luc looked down at Nanami grabbing hold of him and thinking how cute she looks. Then he focused
on the destination plan.
After a couple of minutes, they were in front of the room that Millie, Meg, and Nanami slept in.
" C'mon." whispered Nanami, and Luc opened the door, and found that Millie and Meg must be out
with Connel and Kinnison.
Nanami looked around and found her clothes on the bed and grabbed them as quickly as possible.
" Now let's head back to the bathrooms, and........" started Luc, be he fell to one knee.
" LUC!!" cried Nanami. Luc was looking kinda pale, and he was sweating and breathing heavily.
" I'm..o...okay..Nan..Nanami. That..spe..spell takes a lot out...of..me." panted Luc.
" Close your eyes, 'cause I'm getting dressed." said Nanami firmly. She didn't want to have tire
himself out for her. Luc closed his eyes tightly and turned towards the door. It was three
minutes later that Luc was allowed to opened his eyes and look at Nanami.
" Is the spell gone?" asked Nanami worridly, looking at Luc.
" Yeah...*cough*, its gone now. Can you help me to my room?" asked Luc weakly," I'm not feeling
so hot."
" Sure Luc. Anything for you." smiled Nanami and she helped Luc up and helped walked him to his
room. She helped Luc remove his shoes and help him into bed.
" Thank you Nanami. I think I have a small cold." said Luc, coughing a bit.
" Don't worry, i'll stay here and help you." said Nanami. Luc shook his head.
" You really should, you might catch the...." started Luc, but Nanami silenced him with her
finger on his lips.
" Shhhhhhh. You rest, and I'll take care of everything else. I'll have to tell Ranma that if he
thinks you're going to battle that new army in this condition, he's got another thing coming!!"
said Nanami. Luc laughed slightly.
" Now get some rest and I'll come by later and check on you." said Nanami. Luc weakly nodded and
closed his eyes, and fell into a deep slumber.
" Good night, my love." whispered Nanami, and she gave Luc a kiss on the cheek. She got up and
left the room, closing the door quietly.
Later that day, she dragged Millie and Meg to their room, where they would have a QUIET talk.
But on this hour, 'a quiet talk' was an understatment, in Millie and Meg's case.
" HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME!?"
" Hey!! You called us dummies!! Doesn't that sound fair!!"
" Actaully, Meg, that really doesn't sound fair to Nanami."
" WHAT!? NOW YOU'RE TAKING HER SIDE!?"
"I'm not taking anybody's side!! I'm just saying that, even though it was extremly funny, AND I
wish i would never forget it....
" YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT GIRL!!"
" But I think we do owe Nanami an apology for taking her clothing."
"*Sigh*, you WERE the negotiator in our group Millie, but you're right. I'm sorry Nanami."
" Well, just don't let it happen again, and apology accepted."
" By the way Nanami," asked Meg curiously,
" What?" asked Nanami.
" How DID you get up here? i mean, if you walked around in a towel through the whole castle, Sheena would be stalking you, and the place would be at an uproar!!" cried Meg.
Millie and Nanami laughed at that Sheena stalking thing.
" But if he was stalking me, Ranma, Jowi and Luc would have taught him a lesson." laughed Nanami.
" Luc?" asked Millie, who stopped laughing at the mention of Lekknat's apperntice.
" Luc?" added Meg," Since when did he become so important to you?"
" Umm....well...ya see, the thing is...that...I..I..Love him." said Nanami whispering the last part. Millie and Meg grinned wildly.
" What?" asked Millie, putting her hand to her left ear to hear Nanami better. Nanami was getting frusterated.
" I said I loved him." said Nanami a bit louder.
" OH!! I see. YOU as in NANAMI LOVES LUC!!!" yelled Meg. Nanami went a brillient shade of scarlet and then covered Meg's big
fat blabbing mouth with her hands.
" Shut up will ya!!" growled Nanami. Meg just laughed and removed the hands from her mouth.
" Don't worry, we're the only ones in this tower. No one else heared it." grinned Millie, looking at Nanami cooling off.
" Okay, now answear our first question. HOW DID YOU GET UP HERE WITHOUT CREATING A RUCUS!?" shouted Meg.
Nanami was embarrassed and told Millie and Meg the whole thing.
Unknown to them, a shadow was listening closely at the conversation and then left as a breeze in the wind. The ninja left and arrived
a familier camp. The same camp that had hurt Kinnison.
There were several large tents, but the ninja headed towards the biggest one.
Inside was like a miniture palace. The ninja bowed as he arrived at the throne.
" Sir, I have come back with some intresting information." said the ninja.
" Arise Shade. Now tell me the info, and is it good to go with my master plan?" asked the shadow figure on the throne. Shade bowed. It
seems you were right. That young apprentice has taking a liking towards her, as the same as the girl. I've followed them for the last two
days, and they seem to be getting closer and closer together sir."
" What do you think. Should we wait a couple more weeks, or start on with phase one?" asked the shadow.
Shade thoughtfully thought this through, and replied, " No sir. It would be better to get them when they least expect it. Probably in about
three weeks from now, and start phase one." replied Shade. The shadow grinned insanly.
" Thank you Shade. You may rest up for the next week and half." Shade bowed and left the tent. When it was only thr figure left, the
shadow took out a picture of the apprentice and grinned.
" Very soon. Very soon I shall have the most powerful true rune, AND your most prized possestion. I shall then have my revenge on this
cursed land, reform it to my own liking and rule it like a god." said the shadow, and he started to laugh insanley.
Back to Wing Zero castle...........................
" KIYA!!!" cried Luc as he woke up in a sweat. He had just had a terrible nightmare. He saw the whole conversation with Shade and the
mysterious figure, but was cut off when it went after three weeks.
'What's going to happen in three weeks from now?" thought Luc." And why does that figure in the shadow creep me out, yet I feel I know
that being well before.' thought Luc.
Luc looked around his room. It was at night. He must have been more tired than he thought. He held his
head and remembered his dream.
'Still, what is going to happen in three wee...' thought Luc, but was interuppted by some running footsteps and then he heard them stop at his
door and started to open the door. Luc tried to grab for his gust rod, but he was still ill, and he was weak. So Luc waited for the door to open
and then tackle the intruder. Luc slowly got out of bed and got ready to tackle the intruder. The door was completly opened now, and there was a shadow figured by in the door
way. Luc ran and tackled the person and was on top of him or her. He was on top of him or her kneeling down and grabbing the person's wrists and holding them down.
" Who are you!!" said Luc at the figure. The figure meekly gasped out,
" GEE!! If you can tackle me this hard when you're ill, the training is paying off big time Luc!!" yelled the figure happily.
' Who the?' thought Luc and moved his body a little towards the left, letting the moonlight shine on the person's face, but Luc was afraid he alreadly knew who it was.
The moonlight shone through and it was in the person's face. Luc suddenly went a scarlet in the face fast and was sweating, because that tackle took almost all the energy he had
left in him. The light shone and it showed Luc the person's light brown hair and emerald eyes. The face was looking at Luc with a mixture of surprise, happiness, shocked and a lot
of embarrassment. It was the face of Nanami.
" Urk!! So..sorry Nanami. I had a nightmare and it wasn't very good." said Luc as he got off of Nanami and sat on the floor. Nanami got up and sat down next to Luc, closing the door behind her.
Nanami had on a two piece pajama set. She had on a white shirt and shorts that went an inch above her knee. Her hair was down and she didn't have that scarf in it either.
Luc just had his magician pants on. His green robes and shirt were removed. He was also barefooted along with Nanami.
" So," started Luc embarassed," why did you come running here?"
Nanami went pink in the face and replied," 'Cause I heard ya scream and that was rare mind you and I wanted to see if I could do anything calm you down."
Luc was to say surprised. " You, wanted to help ME?". Now Nanami was the one who was surprised.
" Yeah of course!! With Millie, Meg, Jowi and Ranma, you are one of the most important people in my life. You cared about me, when the others were busy, not that it was their
own fault. You took your own time to try to help me and I wanted to thank you Luc, for everything that you've down for me. Thank you Luc." said Nanami.
Her eyes were brimming with tears and were falling down.
" Thank you Luc. I care too much for you, and to let any harm come to you. I care way too much it hurts!!" cried Nanami, her eyes now pouring down tears.
Nanami tried desprestly to hide them from Luc. It has been a long time since the war three years ago, where everyone split up and then she hadn't even cried. She only cried when
Ranma seemed to be on a death mission. Especially the one where she heard Ranma had to enter the highland palace.
Music seem to fill the background, as Luc weakly walked over to where Nanami sat on his floor, sat down besides her, and let her cry into his embrace.
(AN: I DON'T OWN THIS SONG, OR ANY OTHER SONGS I ADD INTO THIS CHAPTER!! THE SONG RIGHT NOW IS FROM "JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS" CD)
THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE I SIT,
THIS IS THE PART WHER I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH
THIS IS AS HARD AS IT GETS, CAUSE I'M GETTING TIRED OF PRETENDING
THAT I'M TOUGH,
Luc just held Nanami there, holding her. After a while she was still crying, so Luc, gently picked up Nanami and walked to his bed and they both sat down there, and Nanami still continued to cry.
They just sat there for a while, only Nanami's quiet sobs were heard in the room.
I'M HERE IF YOU WANT ME, AND YOURS YOU CAN HOLD ME,
I'M EMPTY AND BROKEN, TUBLIN AND BREAKIN,
CAUSE YOU DON'T SEE ME, AND YOU DON'T NEED ME,
AND YOU LOVE ME, THE WAY I WISH YOU WOULD,
THE WAY I WISH YOU COULD,
Nanami stopped crying, but her eys were red. She looked at Luc and weakly smiled at him, just ignoring the sounds around them and just listening to the other's breathing. Nanami put her head on
Luc's chest and listened to his heart beating. She felt her heart and his beat in unison. Nanami smiled again, and snuggled closer into Luc and sighed in content.
CAUSE YOU SEE ME,
AND YOU DON'T NEED ME,
AND YOU DON'T LOVE ME, THE WAY I WISH YOU COULD,
THE WAY I WISH YOU WOULD,
Luc looked down an Nanami. Her eyes closed, breathing softly, and him just holding her tight, not ever wanting to ever let her go. Luc pulled her closer and Nanami's hair smelled like
strawberries. Nanami still had her eyes shut and was happy that Luc was holding her tightly. To Nanami, Luc smelled like fresh autaum leaves with
a little scent of cinnamon.
I DREAM OF A WORLD, WHERE YOU UNDERSTAND,
AND I DREAM A MILLION SLEEPLESS NIGHTS,
BUT I DREAM A FIRE WHEN YOU TOUCH MY HAND,
BUT IT TWISTS INTO SMOKE WHEN I TURN ON THE LIGHTS.
Nanami thought of all the times, her mind was on Luc, when she wasn't paying attention to what was going on around her. Especially the time when
Luc, Chaco, Pilika, herself, Ranma and Millie were posing as greenhill students, to find out what was going on in the town.
They were chasing a ghost, which turned out to be Flik. Nanami slightly giggled at how she remembered how Luc was wondering why he was even HELPING to get the ghost.
" Do you remember the time, when we were chasing after a ghost that turned out to be Flik?" asked Nanami.
Luc laughed." Yeah, you were scared stiff and you kept talking to Pilika like SHE was the one scared."
" Yeah, and after Ranma told me that one little sentence and I quote,"" At the strike of midnight...........""
" And I asked if you were scared, but that was pointless, because you were stuttering!!" replied Luc. Then he and Nanami shared a quiet laugh.
I'M SPEECHLESS AND FADED,
AND IT'S TOO COMPLICATED,
AND YOU DON'T LOVE ME, THE WAY I WISH YOU COULD,
THE WAY I WISH YOU WOULD,
Luc and Nanami stopped laughing, and looked into each other's eys. Brown met green, and gazes were locked and sealed with a key. They moved their heads
forward a bit, little by little, and closer and closer, till they were millimeters apart from each other, they moved forward and then,
CAUSE YOU DON'T SEE ME,
AND YOU DON'T NEED ME,
AND YOU DON'T LOVE ME, THE WAY I WISH YOU COULD,
THE WAY I WISH YOU WOULD,
Then they finally kissed. Nanami felt all her worries about Luc being endangered gone like the wind, and Luc's hidden feelings for Nanami
surfaced right up. They just sat there holding onto each other and were ina lip lock. Nanami sighed in content, that she finally got what she had wanted
from Luc for the longest time, she had ever known him.
THIS IS THE PLACE IN MY HEART,
THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE I'M FALLING APART,
Nanami suddenly felt something. She felt that she was breaking her and Luc's friendship by this. Her worryment went higher, and she was afraid that after this, they might not
want to be friends anymore. Namami was saddened at the thought.
ISN'T THIS THE PLACE WHERE WE JUST MET?
IS THIS THE LAST CHANCE I'LL EVER GET?
I WISH I WAS LONLEY,
INSTEAD OF JUST ONLY,
CRYSTAL AND SEE THOUGH, AND NOT A LOT TO Y0U,
CAUSE YOU DON'T SEE ME,
AND YOU DON'T NEED ME,
AND YOU DON'T LOVE ME, THE WAY I WISH YOU COULD,
THE WAY I WISH YOU WOULD
Nanami suddenly broke off the kiss and stood up. Luc looked surprised and stared at her. Nanami was hold her hands infront of her and
she had tears streaming down down her face. Luc stood up in front of her, he was about to take a step closer to her, but suddenly she ran out of the
room wordless. There she left Luc standing there, his heart feeling like it had been shredded.
CAUSE YOU DON'T SEE ME,
AND YOU DON'T NEED ME,
AND YOU DON'T LOVE ME, THE WAY I WISH YOU COULD,
THE WAY I WISH YOU WOULD.
Nanami was running down the hallways, her tears flying by as she ran. She ran all the way back to her room, and she jumped into bed, and started to cry into her pillow.
Soaking it thoughly. Luc just got back into bed and he just kept thinking about Nanami and that sad face he had seen on her. Luc cringed as he remembered that sight. He couldn't stand it
when Nanami cried like that. He fell into a dreamless sleep, only seeing Nanami's crying face in the darkness that was around him in his dreams
" Oh Luc, i'm so sorry!!" Nanami said crying into her pillow," I'm so sorry if I had hurt you. I'm just...just...JUST SO CONFUSED!!"
And with that notion, Nanami fell into a harder crying, soaking her pillow more, and thinking about Luc's sad and surprised look he had given her, when she had
ran off. She was very confused. Nobody had ever kissed her, or she kiss him. She had to think this through, and she did, with her
eyes getting red, she suddenly stopped crying and then she fell into a dreamless sleep like Luc, and with Luc's sad and surprised look only seeing that in the darkness.
CAUSE YOU DON'T SEE ME,
AND YOU DON'T NEED ME,
AND YOU DON'T LOVE ME, THE WAT I WISH YOU COULD,
THE WAY I WISH YOU WOULD.
The next morning, Nanami got up first. The sun was already up. She had done some serious thinking, and now she knew what she had to do.
She went down to Tetsu, and went into the girls bathroom and had a nice refreshing shower. Suddenly as she was cleaning herself,
Millie, Meg and Wakaba joined in with her.
" What's up Nanami?" asked Millie gently. Nanami may had not noticed. But while Meg was snoring, Millie had heard her crying in her sleep, repeatly calling out Lu's name.
" I'm fine Millie. Why do you ask?" asked Nanami quietly. This kinda surprised the girls. Usually Nanami would be telling them the training she did this morning with Luc, or
she would be trying to talk to Luc on the other side of the bathroom, behind the wall, but then this is new.
" Okay," said Wakaba, she turned towards the men's part and shouted.
" HEY!! IS THERE ANYONE THERE!?" yelled Wakaba. Nanami, Millie and Meg looked at Wakaba like she was out of her mind.
" JUST WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?" yelled Meg.
" WE WERE TRYING TO FIND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH NANAMI!!" added Millie.
" IF YOU WOULD STOP YELLING!! MAYBE LUC WOULD EXPLAIN HIS SIDE!!" yelled Wakaba.
" Oh." replied the two other girls.
Nanami just looked at them and sweat dropped. They were great friends, but sometimes, they just plan scared her
sometimes.
" Hehehe." grinned Nanami sheepishly.
" WELL!! ANYBODY THERE? LUC?" asked Wakaba yelling. There were some splashes on the other side, and then three other voices replied.
"NO!!" they all said in unison.
" Why? Ya want a boyfriend? Why not just Futch? He's right he..*SPLASH*" yelled a voice. It sounded as someone had pushed the first guy into the water.
"SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!!" yelled the second voice. The guy sounded embarrassed.
Then the person got to breath again once his head was out of the water and then said,
"Geez!! You didn't have to get so embarrassed. It's not like it's any difference, 'cause we both know you lo.....*SPLASH*"
The guy got dunked again.
" I DON'T KINNISON!! SHUT UP WOULD YOU!!!" yelled Futch.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" laughed at third voice.
" SHUT UP CONNEL!!!" yelled Futch and Kinnison in unison.
" This is too funny!!" replied Connel. Then there was another splash, and this time, Connel was the one being dunked.
Meanwhile on ht other side, Millie, Meg and Wakaba's faces were all red. It was wither from the bath or from plain
embarassment. The boys were still fighting, until Tetsu came yelled to stop it and it ceased. While that was going on,
Nanami got dressed and left the bathroom.
Luc had finished his moring trainings. He would have done it with Nanami, but she wasn't here. So Luc just did them by himself.
He was still thinking about what had happened last night. After he was done, he headed for the bathrooms. Funny, if he had just come a littke
sooner, he would have seen Nanami, looking for him.
After he had finished his bath, he got dressed and headed towards the library. He took a short cut through the tavern, and saw Flik and Vicktor.
They saw him and waved. Flik suddenly stopped waving and looked at Luc seriously.
" Luc what's the matter?"
" Nothing, I just.....ummmm, nothing." replied Luc flatly and left.
" Something IS wrong with the kid." said Flik as he stared at Luc's retreating back.
" Girl problems." replied Vicktor with a matter of factly in his voice. " Like you."
" What do you mean by that?" asked Flik staring at Vicktor drinking down his beer.
" two words. Greenhill student."
" Erk."
" Heh. So lighting Flik has a weakness."
" Do not. How would you feel if a girl nine years younger than you kept following you."
" Okay. So maybe you just have good logic."
" We should watch Luc. I have a feeling something interesting is going to great is going to happen."
" Eh? If you say so."
Nanami was running around the castle looking for Luc. Then she stopped when she remembered something she and Luc had talked about, one time when they
were training.
' He said he was going to the library to find somethings on "cursed runes".' thought Nanami. So she turned from where she was
standing and then headed to the library. When she got outside the tavern, she didn't notice Flik and Viktor walking out and she ran right pass them.
Nanami looked right first, she didn't see him, then she turned her head left and saw Luc. Nanami smiled happily.
" LUC!!! WAIT!!!"
Luc was walking nearing his destination and then he heard his name.
" LUC!!! WAIT!!!"
Luc turned around and was surprised that it was Nanami. Nanami ran up to him and grabbed his hand.
Luc looked at Nanami questionaly. They didn't notice that certain people were looking at them.
People for instance were, Kasumi coming out of the dojo, Millie, Meg, Wakaba coming from their baths, Kinnison, Connel and
Futch, arguing the whole way, and were stopped quickly when they saw Nanami and Luc together. Flik and Viktor, coming out of the
tavern and grinning. Nina coming around the corner looking for Flik, Ellie just walking around, Rina coming out of the
tavern after some tea, Gengen and gaboocha were just staring there, wondering what was going on, Hix and Tengarr coming out of the
dojo, from trying to get Hix to be a warrior, they stopped when the crowed was coming and looking onwards, wondering what was going on,
Chaco was on top of the little tower with the telescope, looking downwards, and trying to look out for Sid, and
Ayda was looking for Kinnison because his wolf partner Shiro, couldn't find him, she stopped and so did Shiro, as they
saw what the crowed had gathered for.
They still didn't see the crowed looking at them, but just looked at each other.
" Pssst!! Kinnison!! Futch!!" said Meg and Wakaba.
" What?" asked Futch and Kinnison. Meg and Wakaba told them two CERTAIN people to come and see this.
" But how would we get them?" asked Kinnison looking at his girlfriend.
" They ARE kinda difficult to deal with. Especially when they want to get some sleep." added Futch. Meg and Wakaba grinned. They then whispered their plan on how to get them
up. Futch and Kinnison were grinning.
" Alright, but if I get hurt, YOU'RE going to be the one explaining." said Kinnison grinning.
" I'll just try to explain the situation, AFTER they see the little "show"" added Futch laughing. Then the two of them ran off.
" What did you guys have planned?" asked Connel.
" You'll see." grinned Meg.
"Huh?" wondered Millie and Connel looking at each other and looking at Meg and Wakaba strangley.
" Luc, the reason I ran off, was because I was well, confused." said Nanami looking at Luc.
" Confused?" asked Luc. Nanami nodded.
" I never....well...you know. i've.....i'veneverbeenkissedbefore." replied Nanami saying the last part rather quickly, that it was all jumbled together and Luc didn't get it.
" Ummm, could you repeat it?" asked Luc. Nanami blushed harder.
" I said, i've nerver been kissed before." she repeated.
" Errr. Eheheh." replied Luc, now the one being embarrassed. From the crowed, everyone was thinking of the samething.
'COME ON YOU TWO!!!"
'KISS HER LUC!!!' thought all the boys.
'KISS HIM NANAMI!!!' though all the girls.
Back to Kinnison and Futch
" You head to his room and i'll go to his room." said Kinnison. Both of them had a bucket in their hand, it was full of water.
" Eh!? *sigh*. Fine, at least i'll have a little easier time." sighed Futch.
" Why is that?" asked Kinnison curious.
" Because I have to wake up his wife first." replied Futch as he ran off.
" Whatever." sighed Kinnison as he walked up the stairs to the room.
Futch knocked on the door of Jowi's room. There was a shuffle of feet and then the door opened. It was Pilika.
" Hello Futch. What are you doing here?" asked Jillia coming up.
" Big moment for Nanami and Luc. I have to wake your husband up, if you don't mind. I would hurry to get the good parts."
grinned Futch. Jillia was surprised at first, because she never was told anything like that. She liked it.
" C'mon Pilika. Aunt Nanami is going to get a boyfriend." grinned Jillia as she ran to the elevator with Pilika's hand in her hand.
" REALLY!!" cried Pilika. Then they disappeared in the elevator.
Futch looked at Jowi. He had kicked the sheets off, and was snoring. Futch was near histerics. He lifted the pail of water and dumped it onto Jowi. Just like his reaction to when
Ranma had done this, Jowi screamed, yelled at Luc that he was going to get him, and Futch ran off, faster than he had ever anticipated.
Kinnison was running next to him, and having a soaked Ranma chasing him along with a soaking wet Jowi.
" *huff* *puff*, I take it you got it." said Kinnison.
" What does it look like smart guy?" asked Futch repling sacastically. They ran off, hopefully making it back to the scene before it got to the end.
Back to Nanami, Luc and the growing crowed.
" You were confused. I guess I was too." replied Luc.
" I had a feeling that you might. I just want to apologize that I ran off." said Nanami. Luc smiled and gave Nanami a hug.
" Hey, its okay. I bet everyone feels that way, when they do something that they don't expect can happen." replied Luc.
Nanami looked up into Luc's smiling face, and then got closer into the hug.
Luc was surprised at first, but then he held her tighter. Nanami looked at Luc and said THE three words.
" Luc,"
" Yeah,"
" I just want to say that I...."
" You can tell me Nanami, I won't hate you."
" I'm glad to hear that, I'm trying to say that I lov..."
" You what?"
" I love you Luc."
" *smile* I love you too Nanami, I love you too.
(AN: By now Ranma, Jowi, Jillia, Pilika, Kinnison and Futch had arrived just in time to hear Luc and Nanami's confessions.
Nanami's face were brimming with happy tears.
" You...you feel the same way?" asked Nanami. Luc smiled.
" I was going to confess to you three years ago, but..."
" But what? and why?"
" The Rockaxe castle infiltration. When those matilda soilders and Highland soilders were chasing us, and when we got to the hall,before
the flag and Gorudo's office, you and Ranma went a head, but when you said be careful everyone, I had a shiver up my spine that you would be
injured."
" Oh, you mean when I got "killed"."
" Yeah. The whole castle felt sadness and were almost dead, but we kept fighting. I think Ranma was fighting to get back at them for killing you."
" Same old Ranma."
" I think Jowi and Ranma fought Gorudo when you were unconcious."
" I'm happy, they were fighting together once again. Even if was only once that one time."
" Yeah."
Just like last night, their gazes were locked and sealed, and they leaned closer to each other.
Everyone were waiting for the results and then it happened and everyone was in an uproar.
Luc and Nanami had a REAL kiss. Nanami's arms were around Luc's neck and Luc's arms were around her waist.
Nobody noticed the sign of the true wind rune on Luc's forehead, or the Starblaze rune sign on the forehead of Nanami, and
that they grew brighter, but no one saw it glowing bright. It was as if they couldn't see it at all.
(AN: This is going in the order, in which the crowed was announced in :p)
" How cute."
" YES!!! ALRIGHT WE DID IT!!! WOO-HOO!!! "
" ALRIGHT!!!"
" The kid is finally happy."
" Ya know, I always thought he would be with that other magician from the liberation army, but he is truley happy now."
" *sigh* How romantic, I hope Sir Flik will like me like that."
" I thought those two would be a couple. Now if I could only say those words."
" Ho ho ho. Its about time they got together. But it was funny seeing them blush."
" What those human is doing Gengen?"
" We get out. Gaboocha too young for to be watching this human thing. Now we go. NOW!!"
" Oh Hix. Isn't that so romantic? I wish a certain SOMEONE would tell me that, even though I already know it."
" Huh!? Oh...ummm...Tengarr...I..err....you see...ummm....I HAVE TO GET BACK TO TRAINING!!"
" Oh yuck!! Why would people want to do that? AIEEEEEE!!! I gotta hide!! Sid's coming this way!!"
" What do you think about that Shiro?"
" Awwwwoooo!!!!"
" Its about time don't ya think Jowi."
" Yeah. And as a bonus, YOU get a new brother AND we get to tease Luc."
When they finally let go of each other, their faces went a brillient scarlet.
They saw nearly a fourth of the silver army standing there. They saw Futch and Wakaba holding each other's hands and jumping up and down.
They saw Millie, Meg, Connel and Kinnison grinning at them like crazy, Jowi and Ranma whistling and clapping.
Jillia smiling and laughing and Pilika waving.
Soon everyone went back to where they were. Tengarr ran after Hix, Flik ran from Nina, Futch and Wakaba let go of each other and blushed like crazy,
Ellie and Ranma went off talking, but not before Jowi made a comment that they couldn't hear and making Ellie and Ranma blush.
Jowi later went some where, along with Pilika and Jillia.
" So, how does it feel to finally be a couple?" asked Wakaba.
" Yeah, details please if you don't mind." added Futch. Luc eyed Futch.
" Gee, maybe you should tell US about your DETAILS with Wakaba." replied Luc grinning. Futch and Wakaba blushed madly.
" Awww, isn't that just precious!! Just look at you two. Acting like Luc and Nanami did before they were a couple!!"
laughed Ayda coming up.
" Yeah, you go that right sis, right Shiro, Meg?" added Kinnison laughing.
" HEY!! WILL YOU GUYS JUST BE QUIET!!"
Luc, Nanami, Millie, Connel, Meg, Kinnison, and Ayda were laughing at the embarrasement of the soon-to-be-couple.
Then they stopped being embarrassed and joined in the laughter.
Back at the Black Sage Guild camp site...............................
Nobody at the castle saw it, excpet for the leader of the enemy army.
" HOW COULD THIS OF HAPPEN!!!" yelled the man. He in his frustration knocked over a table.
He saw the rune sign glow brighter and brighter, until he had to cover his eyes, and when the light was gone, he opened his eyes and saw his crystal ball was destroyed
from the pureness of the rune bearers.
" Very soon, Ranma, and your little army will be gone and i'll get my revenge, prize and world on a silver platter" grinned the shadow.
" How soon shall that be sir?" asked a new voice. The shadow didn't even need to turn around, because he knew who it was.
" Omnious, glad you got here. In about three of less weeks. Then we shall complete the phases we have been planning for years.
" Anything I can do for you this moment sire?" asked Omnious.
" Not now, when I give you orders." replied the shadow and then Omnious bowed and exited the tent.
The shadow, turned and sat back on his throne. He grabbed a fruit and He looked at the picture once again.
" Very so apprentice boy, very soon, everything shall crumble around you like stone being destoryed, dear brother of mine."
laughed the shadow and as he said that the fruit seemed to burned by fire in his palm.
" Very soon brother!! VERY SOON YOU SHALL SEE MY TRUE MEANINGS AND REGRET WHAT LEKKNAT DID TO ME ALL THOSE YEARS
AGO!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!"
Back at the castle everyone was still talking, when Luc felt the same coldness that surrounded him when he woke up from that terrible nightmare.
" Luc, are you alright?" asked Nanami, bending down to help Luc up.
'Why is this happening!?' thought Luc wildly.
" What's wrong man, you need to go to Huan?" asked Futch.
" No...just a bad feeling that someone is planning something." replied Luc, standing up with Nanami's help and then after a couple of seconds, he was able to stand on his own.
" What's so bad about someone planning something?" asked Millie.
" The someone is planning some kind of revenge and destrution plans for the Silver Country." replied Luc grimly.
" You can feel that!?" Kinninson yelled surprised," But how!! Isn't that like a premotation?"
" Yeah, but the scary thing is, I feel that I knew this guy or girl some time ago." replied Luc.
" Strange." replied Everyone else.
But they didn't know that something will happen, in the next couple of days.
To be continued....................................
