Kitty-demon92-Thank you, as for Chaos, yes at times it can be down right evil, but so can Hotaru of Saturn, yet, each can be used for the good of mankind too. I am glad some people can see the world in just straight black and white, but they miss a lot of the other colors in life, and that is just no way to live.
Youkai-no-Eversor- Ryu only showed up in the manga and the video game Ranma ½ the Battle Renaissance, and even then he did not have a big part. I know a lot of people wanted Ranma to be Chaos for very good reasons, but I figured I would go a little off the beaten path. If you want to read a little more on him you can go to and click on his character bio.
Suuki-Aldrea-Since you are the only one who voted for who to show up next Kuno it is.
Thank you to my reviewers. Oh and to the person who sent me an e-mail, so it wouldn't show up in the reviews. I can write this story on my own, but the readers enjoy a story more if they are included. Please do not criticize me that way, if you do not know all the facts, thank you.
I do not own these shows.
Usagi and her dark counterpart strolled down a dusty road, she studied the surroundings before directing her attention to Ryu. "Where are we going?" Usagi inquired. Ryu glanced over and smirked slightly.
"Nerima." Ryu answered. Usagi glared at the answer. Ryu catching the dark look decided to elaborate on the comment. "A city that has well-known martial artists staying there." He informed Usagi. Usagi raised an eyebrow at the statement but continued her trek. She stopped when a simple realization a lit in her mind.
"Aren't we able to transport there?" Usagi inquired. Ryu looked back at her and weighed his response carefully.
"We could, but walking is a good work out." Ryu told Usagi and moved forward.
"Well, if all you want is a good work-out lets spar and then transport." Usagi suggested. Ryu glanced at his counterpart and sighed.
"You are not going to let the transporting drop, so let us spar." Ryu conceded, and slip into a wide base stance. Bending his knees slightly he urged Usagi to make the first strike. Usagi studied his open stance, she dashed forward and lightly tapped Ryu's left kneecap. Observing the effect on the stance Usagi flipped back away from Ryu. Ryu accepting the signal from Usagi's action, sprinted forward and threw a right hook forward. Usagi blocked his right hook with her arm and sent a snap kick to his mid-section. Catching the kick with his inner hip and left arm, he twisted the leg and tossed it to the side. The affect had Usagi's body twist to the side following the motion of her leg, releasing Ryu's fist.
Feeling the fall of her body, she snapped and open palm toward Ryu's unprotected leg catching him square in the thigh. With her other hand she balanced her body side ways leaning toward the ground. Ryu reacted to the hit and brought his fist straight toward Usagi opened spine. Usagi sensing his intention used both hands to push away from Ryu's strike range. Ryu seeing the change of direction swung his leg out catching Usagi supporting arm. Usagi used her other arm to knocked away Ryu and balanced on her elbow. Ryu stumbled back giving Usagi enough time to flip back up into a vertical position.
They fell into advance stances, Ryu with his most his weight resting on his right leg, had his left extended forward, giving him a spry base. Usagi stood sideways her right arm crook at the elbow in front of her, and most of her weight on the balls of her feet. Ryu made the first move faking a heart punch, which Usagi blocked with her shoulder, he swung his other arm toward Usagi's head. Ducking the sweeping hit and rolling with the heart punch she swung her back leg in a round house kick landing a full hit across Ryu's face. Ryu rubbed off the hit and threw a closed fist toward Usagi's neck, alighting to the fact Usagi would stop the hit. Having his fist caught Ryu used his prior action to lean his body forward throwing his other fist along with a axe kick to Usagi.
Usagi noting the fact she couldn't block all the hits, dropped Ryu's fist throwing off Ryu's balance. Quickly dropping to her knees she sent a sharp chop to both knees of her opponent, bringing him to the ground. Blocking the arm that descended toward his neck, he flipped the weight of that arm causing Usagi to cartwheel over his prone body and slamming onto the ground beside him. Ryu using the arm as a bar jumped up bringing Usagi with him. Usagi twisted away from his calculated hit and caught his arm. Their upper bodies dead-locked each sent a kick to each other.
Connecting with the opposing leg, they crumbled to the ground. Usagi using their locked upper body weight to fall on top of Ryu. Effectively pinning him beneath her own weight and the combine weight of their upper bodies. Easing her upper body upwards without Ryu's she slipped a knee under her to pin down the male. Twisting her body quickly and to the side un-hook their stalemate, she brought her other knee to his legs to hold him. Leaning forward slightly she placed one hand in the middle of his chest keeping her weight on him, and the other hand in the space between his arm and his middle keeping her balance. She leaned her forehead down towards his, a pointed expression on her face. "Surrender?" Usagi inquired.
Ryu gazed back equally as determine, but knew he couldn't move from the predicament. "Never, I yield however, just for this moment." Ryu granted. Usagi nodded and pulled her body away from his releasing him from the pin. She lightly brushed off her knees, then she offered a hand up to Ryu. He accepted and Usagi pulled him to his feet. "You do your teachers proud, Cosmos." Ryu stated to Usagi. Usagi nodded with a sorrow-filled smile. "We can transport now." Ryu said and grasped hands with Usagi. Usagi fed energy to Ryu through their linking hands as he pictured the place they wanted to go.
They appeared before a sign that announced the city's limits and population. Together they traveled the city's street shops, seeing a weapons shop Usagi dragged Ryu into it. Usagi scanned the swords, she picked out a light katana with a golden handle. The hilt of the sword was lined with small precious stones, each one representing a different senshi to Usagi. The sheath of the sword was a beautiful work of art, embossed cherry wood which was polished to a red cedar shine. A raised red dragon with golden scales crawled the side of the sheath, held to the breast of the dragon was a silver carved maiden holding a white eight point star. The sash tied around the sword was dark blue with golden symbols for truth, honesty, justice, light, and love. Usagi immediately purchased the craftsmanship, picturing the currency used in this world, she summoned the right amount, she also purchased sword polish and a wooden practice sword, a bokan.
They left the store Usagi slipping the sword into her subspace pocket and tying the bokan around her waist. Usagi wanted to perfect her sword wielding technique, before strapping the sword on her person. They purchased a few sweet buns as they examined Nerima, their almost companionable walk was shattered by a war cry. Intrigued the pair dashed toward the origin of the yell. Arriving at the sight, their eyes study the frustrated martialist.
The bokan waving person was male judging by his stance and his voice that shouted angry threats to a gone opponent. He had crown length dark brown hair with the majority of it sweeping to the left. Usagi and Ryu crept toward the male left side to view him better. The dark brown gems called eyes blazed with fury, as he made a threatening motion with his sword. He wore a long neck loose martial art shirt that was dark blue. A black sash was tied around his waist with long tails, probably to hold his weapon, he wore loose black slacks.
A soft breeze blew through the market square blowing Usagi's around. The sun caught the metallic silver and molten gold strands flashing upon them. Male waving bokan turned to the flashes of light to see Usagi and Ryu standing there. He stalked toward the pair and thrust his bokan under Ryu's nose while he stood proudly. Glancing at Usagi he sent a slight bow. "I am Kuno Tatewaki, blue thunder of furinkan high." he introduced himself. Usagi smiled gently at him, her eyebrows slightly raised in wonder. Ryu huffed at the introduction and pushed the sword from his nose. "Fair maiden, what is thy name?" Tatewaki inquired to Usagi. Usagi sent a side glance to Ryu asking if she should humor him, Ryu shrugged his shoulders.
"I am Tsukino Usagi." She answered him. Tatewaki smiled like a gentleman before throwing a glance at Ryu.
"Fair Usagi, what is he to you?" Tatewaki questioned our blonde heroine. She tilted her head in wonder, before gazing at Ryu. Usagi let that question hang in the air. Tatewaki wailed at the response of his question, he whirled angrily on Ryu his bokan pointed at Ryu's chest. "You, I shall challenge for fair Usagi's attention." Tatewaki claimed. Ryu smiled ferally at the challenge and rolled his shoulders.
"What ever you say." Ryu answered to the bokan wielder. Usagi sighed in mild agitation at the process. She mutely wondered if she had a say in this. She stepped between the two, and placed a restraining hand on each one's chest. Tatewaki lowered his bokan, and gazed at Usagi, his eyes catching on the wooden sword lashed against her waist. Ryu, glanced at her and dropped his raised fist.
"Fair maiden does thou wish to challenge me instead?" Tatewaki inquired. Usagi glanced at him with a disbelieving gaze until she remembered the new weight against her side. Before she could answer him, he spoke again. "Very well, I will demonstrate my skills before you." He said. Usagi seeing no way out of the predicament, drew her bokan and saluted him before stepping back. "I will hate to bruise thy beautiful face, but if I can draw your attentions this way it must be done." Tatewaki stated. Usagi and Ryu wondered if he would ever stop talking and duel.
Usagi growing with impatience sprinted forward, leapt high above and brought her bokan lightly down upon Tatewaki's skull. Though the strike was light and Usagi placed no force behind it Tatewaki crumbled. Gravity had done the work, and the surprise of the blue thunder to see Usagi move so quick. Usagi shook her head and re-tied the bokan to her side, then she grab Ryu's hand and walked off. Kuno Tatewaki awoke just in time to see his new obsession walk away. "Do not fret fair maiden Usagi I shall find you again and save you from that infidel." His voice called to the fading female. Usagi sighed in distress at the pledge, while Ryu just smirked.
"I would like to see him try, and you sure do make friends fast." Ryu stated. Usagi unstrapped her practice sword and lightly tapped Ryu's head like a scolding mother. Ryu's smirk grew and he flashed his countenance at Usagi. Usagi tied the sword back to her side, and shook her head.
"Well, I am certainly not impress." Usagi stated.
"With what?" was the reply.
"Your attitude, you are cocky, rambunctious, and a jerk." Usagi listed his traits. Ryu shrugged off her comments and glanced at her.
"Yeah, but you like that about me anyway." Ryu teased Usagi, who blushed in indignation and release her wooden weapon. She swung it threatening at Ryu who dodged the strike and took off running. He was followed closely by a miffed blonde with a dangerous arm. He laughed at her attempts his pace staying a few steps ahead. The chase ended at a dojo, where they offered to clean for a place to stay. The temple patron agreed to take the two in, and the day fell into the cradle of night.
Please review it helps me grow in my writing. Who would you like them to meet next?
Much Care,
