Lost Soul - Part Six
By Seed
Ryoga awoke with his usual feeling of disorientation. He had dreamed the weirdest stuff about him sitting in a court room together with Ukyo, because he had been offended of property damage and violent out-bursts. Everything had ended with the judge ordering him to live with Ukyo and attend high-school in Furinkan. *Funny, I don't even remember drinking that much*. Ryoga decided to get a better look of his surroundings.
He lay on a wooden bench in a kinda official looking building, someone was sitting to his right but he couldn't really see who it was. Finally he shook off the last rest of dizziness and stood up. "Hey sugar finally back under the living. I was starting to think you would stay like this forever. So when you're ready, get your lazy butt off this bench and let's go back to my restaurant. I missed enough business already with this junk here." "U- Ukyo you mean me, you, the judge, e-everything was real? I-it wasn't a dream?" Ukyo just shook her head.
"Ryoga, hello-ho, does this look like the Tendo-Dojo to you? We're at the court you jackass. After the judge was finished you collapsed right there in front of him. You were out for at least three hours. I would have woken you up but the doctor that came to check up on you said it was the shock and I should let you rest. So can we go now, I really wanna leave this place." Ryoga, still too confused to protest or ask any further just nodded and followed Ukyo out of the building.
They took a taxi back to Ucchans and both were silent the whole trip each of them dealing wit the new situation in their lives. When they arrived at the restaurant night had already fallen and neither of them felt like doing anything anymore tonight so Ukyo let the shop stay closed and sat down with Ryoga in her living room. If the Lost Boy was constantly living here some arrangements would have had to be made and since Ryoga still seemed to be a bit out of order it was again left to her to handle things. "Okay listen up sugar, since you and I are now living together there are some things we have to discuss. Hey are you listening at all Ryoga?" The focus of Ukyos attention jerked his head up and looked a bit panicked. "What?" Ukyo sighed.
"Ryoga I swear, you have the attention span of a butterfly on a sugar shock. Now stay at least five minutes down on earth, okay? Fine. I wanna set some rules to guarantee nothing unpleasant happens while you stay here, like me having to kill you for shi-shi-hokoudaning my restaurant, got it? Good! First rule: No bakusai-tenketsuing in the restaurant! Second rule: No bakusai-tenketsuing outside the restaurant! Third rule: No, I repeat, no shi-shi-hokoudaning! Fourth rule: I'm the chef. I'm the boss, what I say goes! Fifth rule: No attacking Ran-chan when he's visiting me! Sixth rule: No bothering my guest with the question: "Where on earth am I now!?!" Seventh rule: You live with me you work for me in my restaurant! If you just follow these simple seven rules we won't have any problems sugar. You got any questions?"
"Yeah, actually I do. Wasn't slavery abolished somewhat around the nineteenth century?" Ukyo fumed, but Ryoga continued. "I mean I'm glad what you did for me Ukyo and I can probably never repay you and if it wasn't for you I wouldn't sit here right now. And of course, I will do whatever it takes so I won't have anymore troubles with the law or with you, so I guess I can at least give it a try. But don't push me too much, okay? I mean, I lived the last six years basically in the wilderness, save for my visits to Nerima. It might take me a little while to get fully accustomed again to a permanent and stable existence in civilized surroundings. So go easy on me willya? You know, I can get really destructing. Ryoga grinned a bit malicious at her one fang popping out and Ukyo wondered, if that was the same stuttering fool that was crumbling concrete walls while standing in front of Akane.
"Okay Ryoga fair enough, I didn't want to offend ya, I'm just worried about my restaurant, and I don't have Nabikis financial resources you know? And I've seen what you sometimes do to the Tendo-dojo." "Hey that's Ranmas fault!" Ukyo just shook her had. "Anyway Lost Boy I think will go to bed now. Tomorrow we see about you joining Furinkan okay?" Ryoga nodded. As Ukyo was about to head for her room, Ryoga took her left hand gently in his right looking her into the eyes. Ukyo was about to say something when Ryoga smiled at her and said. "Thanks. For everything. I sometimes think I have no friends at all on this world. Thanks for proving me wrong." He placed a small kiss on Ukyos hand and then turned around and went to his room finding it without problems.
Ukyo still stood in the hallway long after the Lost Boy was gone, staring at her hand. "I don't believe it. The jerk had the nerve to kiss me. I don't think he even noticed it; it was like he did it without thinking. His eyes they were so intense so, so beautiful. I could just star at him like I was locked in some spell. What is happening here Kuonji? Get a grip its Ryoga remember? He is a big oaf and totally devoted to Akane and you're Ran- chans fiancée. So whatever it is snap out of it.*
Thoughtful Ukyo finally went to her own room. She soon fell asleep, having weird dreams about a boy with a pigtail and one with little fangs.
PS: Sorry it took me so long for this small update. I hope to get more done the next time.
