"Damnit, where did she go?" Ryoga began to curse to himself as he searched the wooded area he was in. He kept his word to Ranma to save Ukyo, he wanted to. Ukyo helped him out a lot over the past two days by letting him stay with her. He tried to avoid Akari at all costs because he knew he would have to marry her and he liked Akari but didn't love her. Ukyo had been nothing but a friend as Ryoga tried to recover from the wedding and even talked some sense into.
"Ryoga, I feel awful about the wedding. I mean, if Akane is what Ranma wants..." Her voice begins to waver. "I feel horrible."
"Don't worry Ukyo. Ranma will understand that you were desperate and was still holding onto something dear to you."
"But I shouldn't have done it. It was wrong."
"We all do things we shouldn't have done. It's time to move on in our life and stop living in the past." Ukyo chuckles. "What's so funny?"
"I've never heard anyone say anything that meaningful before. You sound like either a Hallmark card or a Disney movie."
"I was totally original when I said that."
"Who knew you to be poetic. Not in a thousand years." She wipes her counter at Ucchan's. "Want another special?"
"Thanks."
Ryoga looked up at the sky and wondered how he was going to save her now that he had no idea where she was. He unpacked his things and set up camp. There was no use searching for someone in the dark. He'd probably end up getting more lost. He started a fire and watched the flames.
"I hope you're ok, Ukyo." He sighed as he picked up a stick and poked the fire.
Ukyo groaned as she felt someone take off her shackles. The pain in her stomach and nose would not stop. She couldn't remember a time when she felt worse. She looked up and saw a large man, not her capturer, but a large, hairier man. He grabbed her by her chestnut hair and breathed it in. His disfigured face grinned. Ukyo stared at his grotesque face in fear. She felt tears form in her eyes.
"Wha-what are you going to d-do to m-me?" She stuttered. His grin grew broader and made his face look more and more deformed. He let go of her hair and Ukyo fell to the ground. He kicked her in the side as she tried to stand causing her to fall over. With a painful moan, she lay on the ground. He grabbed her by the hair and yanked her up to her feet. The tears in her eyes fell down her cheeks.
"St-stop, please!" She pleaded, sobbing. He grunted as he slapped her across her face. Ukyo's hand reached up to her red cheek. "Why are you doing this?" She cried. "When Ranma comes-"
"Ranma?" The man who captured her interrupted her. "Ranma? Do you think he'll come and get you when his other fiancee is being held prisoner as well?"
"He's coming for me, I know it."
"Girl, you are foolish." He waved his hand and the giant slapped her again. Her capturer left the room and let the giant finish on her. He released her hair and Ukyo fell to the ground. She tried to crawl to the door but the giant kicked her again in the side. Ukyo heard a distinct crack sound and found it hard to breathe. She tried getting on her hands and knees but the giant kicked her in the head, throwing Ukyo on her back. The giant snickered and shackled her up again as she moaned in pain. Ukyo leaned against the wall, it was difficult to breathe and the pain in her right cheeks was unbearable. She sobbed quietly to herself and couldn't understand why she was here and why he was torturing her.
