Chapter 6

The rain was getting heavy and the waves were getting stronger. The little side boat was beginning to fill up with water.

"How could there be a storm?" Viveal shouted angrily, trying to scoop water out of the boat. Her other hand wipe her eyes to clear her vision. "Just my luck!

"Ranma!"

Ranma turned around at the sound of her sister's voice.

"Help!" Ukyo's hand was grasping onto the side of the small boat, it seemed that she could easily fall off at any second.

"Hold on!" shouted Ranma. He reached out to pull Ukyo, but wasn't fast enough for she lost grip of the boat.

Ukyo swallowed a gulp of water as she tried to scream for aid. Ukyo choked and could feel herself being drifted away farther. Her attemps to stay above water seem futile for her arms started to give up on her.

Ukyo could hear her name being called but her head drop under water.

"Ukyo!" Viveal pulled Ranma's collar as he attemped to jump after his sister.

"What are you crazy?" Viveal yelled at him. "You're gonna get yourself killed!"

Ranma knocked Viveal's hand away.

"Let go of me!" He dived into the water in search of Ukyo. The waves were strong and so Ranma couldn't stay under water long. He popped up after shortly.

"Ukyo! Ukyo!" He looked around, but there was no sight of his sister. Ranma dived into the water once again, this time trying to go deeper. He desperatly scanned around, but with no luck, he rose above water.

"Shoot! Where the heck she she!" Ranma said worriedly. A hand grabbed him from behind.

"I told you it was dangerous," Viveal said. Ranma coughed up water on the boat. "This happens all the time when you're out on sea."

"But Ukyo-"

"If she's lucky, I highly doubt it, she'll be carried to shore-alive, that is," Viveal shrugged her shoulders. "There's even the possibility that someone rescued her, not likely too."

Viveal grabbed Ranma's arm.

"Don't you think about it," she said, holding him back from going into water again. "You won't find her."

Ranma lean back on the boat and signed heavily.

"Ukyo..."

Akane grabbed on to Kin's held-out hand and walked off the Lily onto the shore of Kastera. She wiped her forehead.

"Since we're here, we ahould have a look around," said Akane. "The storm could of made them also make a stop here."

Salt and Pepper jumped off the ship and landed on the side if Kin.

"Alright," they said in uision.

"Take some weapons if you want, but be careful," Akane said. "I'll go with Kin to look this way."

The indentical twins nodded in agreement. They linked arms and walked off.

"Come on now, Kin." Akane waved for him to follow her. "We'll check the village first."

"Kane, this place is full of filth though," said Kin.

Akane grinned at him.

"Yes, but it'll be amusing."

Kin chuckled. Akane was never one to stay out of trouble.

Kin walked after Akane.

They reached the village quickly for it wasn't too far from shore.

Akane walked into a bar with Kin right behind her. The doors swung loudly behind them causing everyone to look at them.

Akane pulled out a scroll and pulled it open. It revealed a drawn picture of Viveal.

"Have any of you seen this girl," Akane asked, holding the picture up. Her foot pulled out a stool and she stood herself on it. "She's may be with a boy or a girl."

A large man with broad shoulders stood up.

"Forget them, honey. Stay with me, I'll find you all things you want," he smirked. He flexed his chest out at Akane.

She frown in return.

"Too bad, I already got myself a man. A much more able one," said Akane, jestering to Kin. She gave him a quick wink and turned back.

Kin noticed she was talking about him and he blushed a deep rouge.

"Girly man here," the man raised Kin's arm. The crowd of men laughed. "He's as thin as a stick. You need a real-AAHHH!" The man stumbled back, holding his wrist.

Kin had broken his hand in a quick snap.

"Told ya," Akane said. "Much more able." All the men from the bar rose up from their tables.

"Girl, you don't know who you're messing with!" one shouted. The bartender rushed to the back door, not wanting to see the on going fight.

The crowd of men circled around the two.

Akane bent over and touched her toes and strecth her back.

"Just what I needed," she said to Kin. "A good time."

Akane jumped from her stood and landed on one of the men. His head hit a table before he actually hit the ground.

"Well, he's out."

Akane's leg swung out against her uncoming attacker causing him to crumple to the floor. Her foot stomped on his cheek before she moved on to her next victim. Her hand formed a fist and she sent to the chin of the man in front of her. He went flying across the room.

Kin had pulled out his twin swords. He was having no trouble using them to cut the men close to him. Within minutes, he had a swarm of bodies surrounding him. He twirled his swords and threw one into the air. The sword came down into the handle of the first sword, forming a short but wide stick altogether.

Akane walked up to his side.

"Well, that's that! Let's move on."

They walked out of the bar. They only walked a few steps when a loud, "STOP!" made them turn around.

Akane groaned seeing who had called them.

"My darling tigress! It is you who beat up my men!" A man, maybe a year or two older than Kin, had his arms held out. His midnight dark hair fell to frame his face; a long pontail dangled from the back of his head. He wore a jacket with long sleeves that cut under his chest. A tan shirt could be seen underneath. He had on a matching pair of pants with pockets on the lower part. His black gloves made a good combination with his heavy boots.

"Get lost, Kuno," Akane said impatiently.

"Haven't you missed me? We haven't seen each other in ages," said the man called Kuno.

He attemped to hug Akane but her foot landed on his face before he could do so.

"As lovely as ever I see," he wiped his face. "I heard that you were looking for a girl." He snapped his fingers. Two men brought out an unconcious girl.

"I don't know if she's the right one," Kuno raised her face, "but I wouldn't hesitate to give her to you."

"The girl prisoner!"

Sea-chan's note: I tried to make the chapter longer than usual. I'm sorry if the fighting scene was short, but I'll try harder to make it have more... ah-drama? Anyways, always remember to review!
