Sweet Heart
Part Five
Ryoga finished his breakfast. They packed up and left about an hour later. A couple of days later they ended up in a desert of ice and snow. The harsh winds blew against them and Ukyo was so very cold. Ryoga had on a long-sleeved shirt (that I like.) so he was cold but not as much as Ukyo was. Ryoga tried to keep her warm while they tried to find a place to camp out. Ryoga just quit walking threw the harsh winds and set up camp where they were. They both went in, Ryoga put on a kettel of hot water.
He set out his sleeping bag as Ukyo set her's out. Ryoga heard her sneezing. He gave her a blanket that looked a century old.
"My dad's. Here." He said and she put it on her shoulders.
"Thanks Ryoga" She said wrapping herself in the blanket tightly. Ryoga took the kettel of boiling water and poured it into two cups and gave her one. Ukyo drank it. The warmth slid down her throut. When they finished the cup; Ryoga lie on his sleeping bag;as did Ukyo; and they talked for a while. Ryoga found out Ukyo's favorit song was Savage Garden's 'Truly,Madly,Deeply' . He deicided that he would put that song in the locket.
After Ryoga had fallen asleep, Ukyo still sturred.
C'mon Kuonji. Can't you see? Ranma isnt for you. Ryoga is. C'mon! Can't you swollow your pride and at least give him a caring smile? Sure, You gave him a thank you smile, but a 'I like you alot' Smile? No. Nothing. Mabye he likes you too Kuonji,He has always been there for you when you needed him the most, It wasnt Ranma who saved you in Kogenkio, It was Ryoga. It wasnt Ranma who was your partner in the hotsprings race. It was Ryoga. Ukyo thought as she drifed into a deep sleep.
Morning came and Ukyo had not yet sturred. Ryoga had gone outside to see if the blizzard had stopped. It did. Now, Right before him was a beautiful
landscape of icy crystals and powdery white snow. Like what you would find on a jigsaw puzzel. He smiled. Someday. I hope to wake up in a home, with Ukyo. Not just staying with her, I want her to be with me. under the Hibiki name. I want to say 'Good morning honey.I made breakfast.' and have her not slap me. He thought as he staired out over the white sea. Ukyo emerged from the tent as she had the morning in the forest.
"Morning." She said walking over to him.
"Morning." He replyed almost instantly. She gazed over the landscape, as Ryoga was.
"Beautiufl isnt it?" Ukyo asked standing close to Ryoga. He nodded.
"Yep." he replyed. Just like you. They said no more. Ukyo just went to get breakfast ready. Ryoga followed like a puppy. (Not on all fours but he followed her is what im sayin.)
Ukyo cooked okonomiyaki for breakfast again. Ryoga ate it without even one complaint. Because there was no need for one. Although thats all he had been eating for days; he still thought that it was as best as the first time he had eatin it. Neither of them seemed sad about the lost loves anymore. Ryoga figured he wasnt really in love. Just a silly Teenaged crush. And Ukyo. She knew Ranma wasnt for her. They had set there sights on eachother.
Ryoga's mind wanderd back. So far back that he rememberd when they met.
"If anyone is gonna punish my Fiancee." Said Ukyo. "Its gonna be me!" It wasnt untill Ukyo got his attintion that his memory faded.
"Huh? What?" Ryoga said tring not to sound dumb.
"I said. Is it good?" she said and he nodded.
"Of course." He said still eating it. Ukyo had finished hers and walked outside and trained. Ryoga still sat inside nibbling at his breakfast.
He wanted to tell Ukyo. Everything. About the pig curse, about anything he had to tell her. Ryoga heard her scream. He rushed outside to find another person who had pinned her to a tree with small knifes.
"H-Hey! Let her go!" Ryoga shouted attacking the person. The person was bigger but much uglyer than Ryoga. Ryoga feircly took his umbrella out of the tent and was ready to fight to the death, Ukyo tried to get herself free but it didnt work.All she could do right then was cheer Ryoga on and hope he doesnt get his butt kicked. Ryoga stood away from the stranger, but didnt make the first move. The person jabbed at him with a million knifes. Ryoga defended himself with his umbrella. This guy was obviasly tougher than Ranma. They had fought for hours.
"What do you want?" Ryoga asked as he defended himself from the attacks.
"Your Girlfriend is what I want." He said Attacking Ryoga.
"She's not my girlfriend." He said throwing his bandannas at her. But saying that caught Ryoga off guard and he got slashed in the face. He went falling. It was then Ukyo just screamed. Like in the Ranma 1/2 episode when akane said 'It wasnt the crape that exploded. It was Ukyo!' the same thing happend. Except it wasnt a crape that was mistaken to have blown up.
"You Jackass." She said drawing her spatula and in one good hard smack, he was gone. She ran to Ryoga and cried. "Oh my god Ryoga! Dont Die! Please!" She cried.She cheaked his pulse and he was alright. But his face had blood on it. She picked him up on her back and carried him into the tent and treated his wounds.
