Chapter 4: Some connections.. And Kiri kidnapped?
"Kiri, come with us, you have no where else to go." The
shadowed man said, holding out his hand.
"No! My parents are still here!" Kiri said, pushing
away the hand.
"Kiri, your parents died a long time ago." The man
said.
"I still have my aunt!" Kiri said, tears sliding down
her cheeks.
"She is a drunk, it is hard to live with her, is it
not?" The man asked.
"No! It's fine! I can live with her!" Kiri said, she
didn't want to leave.
"Kiri, he is the only one who can take care of you."
The man said.
"No! I'd go anywhere then to be with him!" Kiri said
shaking her head and almost screaming.
"You leave me no choice." The man sighed and took a
bucket of water, he poured it on Kiri. Fear shot in
her eyes.
"NO!" She screamed.
"No!" Kiri shot up and looked around. Her heart
pounded in her ears. She saw Ryoga-chan sleeping on
the chair next to her.
"It was… only a dream." Kiri placed her hand on her
chest. 'Calm down Kiri, it was only a dream.' She told
herself.
"Kiri, what's wrong?" Kiri squinted to see Ryoga's
outline in the dark.
"Nothing, just had a dream." Kiri said.
"Sounded like a nightmare to me, you were almost
screaming in your sleep. You sure you ok?" Ryoga
asked, his tone filled with concern, he was now
sitting on the couch next to Kiri. Kiri nodded.
"Hai, I am fine, just a nightmare, please go back to
sleep." Kiri said, placing a hand on Ryoga's shoudler.
Ryoga was glad that it was dark, so that Kiri couldn't
seem him blush.
"Ok, if you don't feel well again tomorrow, don't go
to school, ok?" Kiri nodded.
"Ok." Ryoga smiled and went back to the chair and
pulled the blankets over him.
"I need to stop worrying, he has disappeared and won't
come back, I just have to stay here for a while until
he returns." Kiri told her self, and went back to
sleep.
"Kiri?" Ryoga looked at what Kiri had cooked. Food was
line up on the table, all smelled and looked very
good.
"Wow Kiri!" Ryoga said, almost drooling from the good
foods.
"Well, dig in!" Kiri said in delight.
Ryoga nodded and started to eat, a hug smile spread
across his face.
"This is terrific!" Kiri blushed a little.
"Thank you." Ryoga then stopped and looked.
"It seems like you can go to school today."
Kiri nodded. "Hai, I feel much better, thank you
Ryoga-chan." She turned away, a slight pink color.
Ryoga, confused at why she was thanking him looked at
her.
"I mean, thank you for saving me and taking care of
me." Kiri said, hiding her face again. Ryoga smiled.
"No problem, thank you for this great food!"
"Oh shoot, I'm going to be late! Got to go! See you
after school!"
Ryoga nodded and Kiri left. Kiri arrived to school on
time and met Ranma and Akane there, along with Ukyo.
"Hey Kiri!" Akane greeted her, along with Ranma.
"Hi Akane."
Ranma glance and saw a little spot of red on her arm.
"Hey, what's that on your arm?" Kiri looked at her arm
and smelled it was blood, she quickly covered it with
her hand.
"It's nothing, just got a stain, that's all." Ranma
nodded but didn't believe it all. He then thought
about the monster last night, could it have attacked
her? He then noticed her eyes, those blue eyes, they
looked familiar. Ranma gasped, those eyes looked like
the monster's ones. Could it possibly be?
"Ranma, earth to Ranma!" Akane waved a hand in front
of his face.
"Huh?" Ranma said, coming back to earth.
"The bell rung, come on." Ranma nodded and went off to
class.
"Kiri.." Ryoga sighed and looked out his window, it
was raining again. 'Strange, it usually doesn't rain
this much.' He sighed again and thought back to when
the monster attacked. He was still curious about
finding Kiri in the street. Did the monster attack
her? He didn't believe everything when she said that
she couldn't remember. He felt like she was keeping
something hidden from him, but couldn't tell what. Did
she have a connection with the monster? Ryoga shook
his head. How could a monster like that and a nice
girl like her have a connection? He sighed and played
with Checkers.
"Wow, rain again, well see you later Kiri!" Akane
said, taking out her umbrella and waving to Kiri. Kiri
smiled and waved.
"Good bye!" Kiri sat under a tree, making sure not to
get wet. She grinned when Ryoga came.
"Hi Ryoga-chan!" Kiri said, wrapping her arms around
him again.
Ryoga was shocked once more, he had found his way to
Furinkan High without getting lost. It was a miracle.
"Hello." Ryoga said, blushing again.
"Here, I brought an extra one." He said, handing
another umbrella to her.
"Thank you Ryoga-chan." Kiri said, taking it and
opening it.
They walked home together, both very quiet. Ryoga
wanted to ask Kiri about the monster, but bit his
tongue. Kiri sighed a couple of times, but seemed to be
her usual happy self.
"Can I cook dinner again?" Kiri asked, heading towards
the kitchen. Ryoga smiled.
"Of course, your cooking is wonderful!" Ryoga said.
Kiri turned pink.
They both ate happily, thanks to Kiri's wonderful
cooking. After that, both sat down and watched some
T.V. The news was on.
"And yesterday, reporters and neighbors are still
surprised about what had happened yesterday, a
monster, that looked and was about the size of a wolf
attacked this part of the town. 5 people have been
killed and many more have been injured." Ryoga turned
and saw Kiri listening very closing. It looked like
she was about to burst into tears.
The news ended and Ryoga turned off the T.V. Kiri said
nothing and stayed quiet the whole time, she went up
to take a shower. She changed into pajamas and went
into Ryoga's room. Ryoga knocked.
"Hai?" Kiri asked.
"Can I come in?" Ryoga answered with a question.
"Yeah." Kiri said and Ryoga walked in. Ryoga came and
sat by Kiri on his bed, she turned away, she looked
very sad.
"Kiri," Kiri turned and looked at him.
"Is there something bothering you?" Ryoga asked. Kiri
opened her mouth and then closed it.
"No, nothing is wrong Ryoga-chan." Ryoga sighed; he
felt a little hurt since he knew that Kiri was lying.
He felt like that she couldn't trust him.
"Ok Kiri, but I want you to know, if there is anything
you want to talk to me about, just tell me, ok?" Kiri
nodded.
"Thank you Ryoga-chan." Ryoga nodded too. He grabbed
Kiri and pulled her into a hug.
"I don't want you to get hurt." Kiri blushed, she had
never been held by a boy this way, but she enjoyed it,
Ryoga's scent, she never noticed how good it smelled.
She stayed in his arms for who knows how long but
enjoyed every second of it.
Ryoga gasped a little in his throat. Why did he hug
her? It seemed like this power came over him and just
did. He kept telling himself to pull away but he
couldn't, so he stayed there, with her in his arms. But for
some reason, he didn't seem to mind it. Where some new
feelings towards her kicking in?
Ryoga finally pulled away, noticing that Kiri had
fallen asleep in his arms. He softly rested her head
on the pillow, pulled the covers over her and turned
off the lights. His heart pounded. He had never been
that close to a girl before. Well, he has, but when
Ranma was in disguise, that doesn't count.
"Heh, there she is, sleeping like a cat, let's get
this over with." The women slipped through the window
and tip toed over to Kiri. She grabbed Kiri gently and
slipped out the window again.
"Nice work, let's go." The man and women vanished into
the dark night.
"Kiri, Kiri? School is about to start!" Ryoga knocked
and knocked on the door; he finally opened the door
and gasped. Kiri was gone.
"Kiri?" He said in worry. He then thought that she
might have gone to school already, rushing over there,
Ryoga took no time to see. He turned into the little
black pig before he could even blink and rushed into
Ranma's school. He ran to the classroom to see if she
was there. Looking, turning his head every which way,
he didn't see her. He squealed and with panic, rushing
outside. Could she have gotten kidnapped? That was the
only explanation now. But how could he find her? With
his terrible sense of direction.
"Yo, Ryoga, isn't Kiri at home? Why are you here?"
Ranma asked, looking at a sad Ryoga. (Who was now back
in human form)
"Ranma, I need to ask you a favor." Ryoga said,
looking up at him.
"Sure, what is it?" Ranma asked.
"Kiri, she has vanished and I can't find her
anywhere." Ryoga said sadly. Akane gasped.
"So she wasn't at your house?" Ryoga shook his head
slowly.
"Alright Ryoga, I'll help you." Ranma said patting his
friend's back.
"Thank you, I owe you one." Ryoga said, hope in his
eyes.
"Where, where am I?" Kiri slowly arose from her deep
sleep.
"Ow, my head." She rubbed her head as she looked
around. 'This isn't Ryoga-chan's room.' She thought to
herself as she looked around to what seemed to be a
dungeon. 'What's going on?'
"Ah, so the girl is awake." Kiri looked straight to
see a woman, her dark brown hair, waist length flowed
behind her. Her purple eyes were full of entertainment
as she watched Kiri.
"Who are you? Where am I?" Kiri asked, anger rising in
her voice.
"Now, now, all those answers will be answered soon,
come with me." The women opened the door, and put
chains around Kiri's wrists. Kiri followed her, seeing
that she had no choice and followed her into a bigger
room. The room was big, quite big. It seemed like it
was designed for a ball. Lights twinkled and food was
on a big table. There was a red carpet laid out and a
throne at the end of it. Kiri looked to see who was
sitting in it.
"Ah, so my little princess has come." The man said,
smiling. Kiri gasped. 'No, not anyone but him, not
him' She said inside her head as she saw him coming
down towards her. He lifted her chin, looked into her
eyes and said.
"Welcome back, I've missed you."
