Note: I don't own Ranma. Unfortunately, Rumiko Takahashi owns it. Hey but she is a great writer and artist so who cares.

Chapter Seven: Box Destroyed

The two stood ready to fight once more. Ranma and Ryoga always were fighting, and they always met like this. A never-ending battle seemed to draw these two together. Would this be the last encounter?

Ryoga: Let's end this shall we?

Ranma: This is it. The ending. After this no more battles between us.

Ryoga: You know that could never happen.

Ranma: It was only an option.

Ranma smiled punching Ryoga who is quick to block. A one-elbow blow to the face is Ryoga's answer. Ranma attacks with multiple punches. Ryoga counters with his Bakusai Tenketsu (Breaking Point) hitting the ground before Ranma sending him through the air. Ranma landed with ease.

Ranma: You're finally acting smart. Too bad you're directionally challenged.

Ryoga: This is a serious fight Ranma! Act that way!

Ranma: But I have.

Ryoga fell to his knees. Ranma had acted fast in those moments. He may have surpassed Ryoga maybe. He was at least much faster now. It may have been because of his battle with Saffron, but he was better now. For the moment Ranma was stronger than Ryoga by a bit.

Ryoga: H-how?!

Ranma: You have to pay more attention Ryoga.

Ryoga: Grr! No more! Shi Shi!

Ranma: Hey hold on there!

Ryoga would use his most powerful move, the Shi Shi Hokodan. The aura blast that uses one's depression to fuel it. In it's weakest form it was merely a blast emitting from the hand. In it's 100% maximum power it was a blast that reached the sky then dropped down. The user would remain unharmed because they became emotionally hollow. Ranma was ready with his own attack, the Moko Takabisha

Ranma: Got no choice. Moko!

Ryoga: Hokodan!

There was no time no to hit Ryoga with the blast. He used the Moko Takabisha to get out of the way. Bouncing off the fence Ranma jumps back hitting Ryoga's face into the ground. The Shi Shi Hokodan destroys the ground that had once been behind Ranma.

Ranma: Fool! Don't use chi attacks. Huh?

A paper floating in the air? That's a picture. A picture of Akane. That means…

Ranma: N-no…

His box was gone now. Pieces of it were many places about the ground. Ryoga's blast had destroyed all it's contents. Akane's hair, the photos, everything. All there was left were the photos and papers floating through the air.

Ryoga: Our battle isn't ov-

Ranma: Ryoga! It's all your fault! Maximum power Shi Shi Hokodan!

All of his rage. All of his emotions came out in the form of the perfect Shi Shi Hokodan. An attack Ranma once could not even perform at its lowest level. His attack passed through him as Ryoga and Kuno were embedded into the ground. She was surprised that he could do such a move. She had never wanted to see him like that.

Akane: Ranma! He's never perfected it before now.

Ranma: Fool. It's all, your fault Ryoga.

He fell to his knees as if in defeat. But Ranma had won. Both Ryoga and Kuno were out cold. His reason for fighting was gone, so he lost. Unless he really had fought for Akane's sake. Then he would have won this fight. He's both winner, and loser. That box had been important.

***********************************************************************

The box isn't about Akane? Well duh. There's more in it then already said. What would he do next? Kill everyone! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Next time Ranma kills Ryoga, then Akane, then destroys Nerima.

Okay maybe not. But you will find out the true meaning of his box.

I got the sweet part from vol. One by the way. It's what Tofu said when leaving. I guess you should learn I prefer the manga to the show.
