Caught in the Mist

A Ranma ½ Fanfiction

Chapter 11

A Final Few Words...

"Kiri, I do care about you and always will." Ryoga said, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. A pink color brushing against Kiri's cheeks.

"Will you now come back?" Ryoga asked, his head resting on her raven hair.

"Y-you really want me back?" Kiri asked, staring at his warm brown eyes.

"Yes! Of course I do! I'd go crazy if I couldn't find you!" Ryoga said, holding her tighter. Kiri breathed in his wonderful scent again and rested her head on his shoulder. She felt so calm near the ocean, but she felt even calmer near Ryoga-chan. She could stay here with Ryoga-chan forever for all she cared, it didn't matter to her. He had come, searching for her, nobody else, just her. That made her feels like she was the luckiest girl in the whole world.

"I will come back with you Ryoga-chan." She whispered into his ear. Ryoga shivered at her voice, the sound of it was startling but felt wonderful at the same time.

"That's good to know." He whispered back. Kiri grinned. She dug her head into his chest, continuing to breathe his scent. Ryoga smiled and wrapped his arms around her body. All thoughts of his love for Akane now seemed to wash away into the ocean. The only thing on his mind now was Kiri, just her, and nothing else. He lovingly stroked her black hair while Kiri just rested there, she loved this more then anything.

"Kiri, I have a question." Kiri pulled herself away and looked to Ryoga.

"Hai Ryoga-chan?" Kiri asked, question in her voice.

"Well, um, in the morning, it felt like someone, had well..uh..k-kissed me. I was wondering um..b-before you left…If you possibly..k-kissed me." Ryoga asked, turning red. Kiri hid her bright red face.

"W-was it?" Ryoga asked, getting no answer from her. Kiri looked up at him and slightly nodded.

"Oh." Ryoga said, turning even redder. Kiri turned away and hid her face. 'I knew it.' She said to herself, he didn't like her that way. She pushed away from Ryoga-chan and a tear fell down her face. She thought that Ryoga-chan would like her that way, possibly, it seemed so, but looked like she was wrong.

"But you know Kiri." Ryoga grabbed her shoulder and locked his lips on her. Kiri was startled at first but got lost in his soft kiss. Ryoga broke away.

"Next time, you don't have to do it secretly, ok?" Ryoga grinned. At that moment, Kiri's heart soared; she smiled and literally tackled Ryoga in her happiness.

"Wait, Kiri!" But it was too late, they both and slipped and fell into the water.

"Ryoga-chan?" Kiri asked, her head bobbing above the water. She turned and saw a little black piglet next to her.

"R-Ryoga-chan?" Kiri questioned the black piglet; she then saw the bandana tied around its neck. She carried it out of the water and brought it to Ryoga-chan's house. She filled the bathtub with hot water and placed the black piglet in the water, and soon enough, a naked Ryoga-chan popped out.

"Oh, h-hi Ryoga-chan." Kiri said, hiding her red face and handing him a towel.

"T-thanks." Ryoga said, taking the towel and quickly wrapping it around his waist.

"I-I'm sorry, I should have tackled you." Kiri said, lowering her head.

"It's ok, I just need some clothes." Ryoga muttered, going into his room and pulling on some clothes.

"I see that you have a curse too." Kiri said, seeing Ryoga walk out of his room.

"Yeah, it seems a lot of people do." Ryoga said.

"Yeah, well." Kiri didn't know what to say, both of them were now just standing in the hall, both blushing and speechless. Ryoga then embraced Kiri into a hug.

"Tell me you'll never leave like that again, you had me worried as hell." He whispered.

"I'm sorry Ryoga-chan, I won't do it again, I wouldn't since I'm with you now." Kiri whispered back and Ryoga grinned. He brushed his lips on hers again and both were lost in the kiss. Kiri had no regret in her mind; she wanted to be with Ryoga-chan, forever and always. And Ryoga always wanted to be with her, helping her whenever she needed it, wiping her tears away when she cried and hugging her when she need to be comforted.

"Looks like I don't need this anymore." Ryoga said as he dug out the object Cologne gave to him. Kiri smiled.

"My dream has come true." Ryoga grinned, giving Kiri another kiss.

"Do you want it?" Ryoga asked, handing it to Kiri.

"Yeah, it can be a pretty necklace and a good luck charm." She said, winking towards him. Ryoga chuckled and nodded. Kiri went and found a chain to put it on, next thing she knew, and it was around her neck, glistening every time it hit light.

"I'm so tired." Kiri said yawning. Ryoga smiled, Kiri gasped as he scooped her up in his arms and carried her over to his bed.

"Thank you Ryoga-chan." Kiri said, giving a kiss for thanks.

"Of course my princess." Ryoga said grinning and kissing back.

"Good night, my kawaii black piglet." Kiri said smiling and snuggling into his body.

"Good night my kawaii wolf." Ryoga said, wrapping his arms around her.

"Kiri." Kiri turned around and face Ryoga.

"Hai?" She asked.

"I love you." He whispered, Kiri grinned.

"I love you too." She gave him a kiss goodnight and fell asleep. All thoughts of love for Akane slipped out of Ryoga's mind. The only one was for Kiri. Akane loved Ranma anyways, he knew that, but Kiri loved him and he loved her back. He loved her so much, he never wanted to leave her side, and he always wanted to be with her. The couple happily slept, side by side. They couldn't be happier. And the star around Kiri's glistened, even in the darkest hour.

"Ryoga-chan, remembered what you promised me long time ago, before you left?" Kiri asked as Ryoga pulled her in to a hug.

"When I promised that I'd always be with you?" Ryoga asked as Kiri giggled and nodded.

"Ryoga-chan, promise me that you will always be with me no matter what." Kiri whispered as Ryoga held her tightly.

"I promise." Ryoga whispered back, brushing his lips on hers. 'I promise Kiri, no matter what, I will always be with you.'
