In the Mind of a Rebel

Tendo Dojo, Japan
Morning, 4:30
"Damn, textbook. Who left it on the floor?" I stop myself at the door. Okay, that was a dumb question. I softly kick it under the bed. Then I slowly open the door of the bedroom that I share with my 'father'. I took that time to stare at my fat ass father; who is still sleeping 'thank kami' with a dark glare. "One of these days old man, you will get yours."
I did not finish my thought, for time is running out. I quickly but silently close the door behind me. I have no time for one of his early morning so called exercises. So I hurry to the bathroom and fill up the furo with warm water. That done, I soap up myself and hop in. I let out a soft sigh of relief.
This is what I needed, from the chaos of yesterday. Man, I am surprise I am still alive for this long. I lay down farther into the water, having the warmth cover my whole body. I let out another sigh. For someone that has a water curse, I sure love warm water. I stretch at that. Maybe because of that curse, I can rarely felt hot water. Damn curse.
I dump myself one more time, before I got out. I dry myself then put on the uniform I snuck with me on the way out. Now completely dress, I headed out. I hurry along the stairs, in a quiet matter. For I don't want those fire breathing monsters waken from their slumber. Especially Akane and Nabiki. I almost miss a step on the stairs at that.
As you think about they are not my only problem. But they do contribute a lot to the shit that I called my life. I finch as I reach the bottom. How I hate my so called life. Well all I need is apple, because I don't want to be here before the house wake up and besides I can pick up something to eat on the way to school. I am so glad I got that job working at the shop in town. Free food and money. What more can I wish for.
When I reach the kitchen, I stop in my tracks in shock. "Kasumi! What are you doing here?"
She always comes down by six. I look at the clock. Yup, not even close to six. So what's with the early morning call? Kasumi just smile one of those sweet smiles I like.
"Don't be silly, Ranma. You think I let you leave here without lunch. That's unheard of."
I rubbed the back of my head in embarrassment. Hehe, I forgot. "Sorry Kasumi, I forgot."
"That's okay. Here take this and hurry on."
I took the lunch, she offers. "Thank you, Kasumi. You are a life saver!"
"No problem." She said with her hands together and a sweet smile on her face.
I look back at the clock again. "Its best I leave. Later Kasumi."
"Good bye, Ranma."
After that I was out the door, with my school bag and lunch. For the last eight months, Kasumi and I work out a deal. The deal was to give me, my lunch at the early hours. When I told her the reason 'well half of it, that is' for my early morning escapes, she was more than happy to help.
"Ranma I would be delighted to help. I know how my family and your 'friends' can be a little 'rough'. I am also glad that you are taking full focus on your studies. I hope you become a great scholar."
Those were her words to the deal. Mine were half truths, but they were for a good cause. I really wanted to work hard at school. The cause is different from what I have told her. I feel bad for not being truthful with her. If I told her the whole truth, the others will be on me like a pack of wild animals. So I use white lies.
Now I find myself walking down the street, more like walking down on a fence. My thoughts wonder in my head. Of the ideas and plans I have. I put my arms behind my head and smile. For I know they which will carry me away from this fuck up existent. I look at my watch to see I have close to one hour and a half before school starts. So I decide to head out to my favorite spot…well my second favorite spot. Well beggars can't be choosers.
I was there within minutes, at the gates of the town national park. I stuff my hands into my pants pockets and enter. I walk on through until I reach my destination. A little place that I know I will not be disturbed. Really now, who will try to find me near a pond in secluded area. Everyone knows about how I dislike being wet. Well that is what I want people think.
It's funny how I use my mind now, when back in the days I would rather fight. I sigh. The times have change; actual more like me have change. I stop walking as I got close to the water edge. I bend my head down to look into the water's surface, seeing my reflection. My lips deepen into a frown at what I see. A person who don't give a fuck about anything. A person who can take on the weight of anything around him and lastly a person who seen content with his life. What a bunch of bullshit.
I kick a pebble into the water in anger. Disrupting the image. Why am I had to act happy in front of people? Why am I had to be the honorable one? Why am I the one everyone comes to, when something fuck up? Why am I the one, people fighting in their made up sense of honor?
I grin evilly, for I know the answer. Father… He doesn't deserve that title. He is no father. A bastard more like it. But I should not put all the blame on him, there are others that has cause this shit. They know their names. Cowards!
I was becoming angry by the minute; I stop to focus in myself. Taking in deep breaths. I will not have them get on my nerves. They don't deserve it, none of them. They can break their bones for all I care. Fewer problems to worry about.
I wrap my arms around my middle as I feel a chill through my body. My grin back on my face. They all will get theirs soon enough. All there is now is to gradate from high school. That when my plan can begin. I stop as I realize something. Huh? Shit! I forgot I had the reader's attention. Well by all the shit going around in my mind, you must have come to your own assumptions. Also some questions. Like, what have become of the great Ranma Soatome?
I tell you, he got fucking sick and tried of the way his life is going. If he wants control over it, he has to take measures. I mean some deep, secret measures. When the time comes, I'm out of here. Away from these jackasses. As if by sense, I look at my watch. Well time to be on my way. I kick another rock into the water at that.
On the way out, my mind wonder on the day it all happen. The day I slip up only to be granted a chance at freedom. I thought I was going to hell, but then I meet him and the true. A truth that I was glad was true, 'because now I have no plagues to anyone. I am my own person and a little piece of paper also gave me an act on it. Oh, I you wondering what the hell I'm talking about. Well since I'm in a good mood, I tell you but with a warning. I hope you believe in the higher power, for if you cross me…let just say your soul won't be reaching the underworld.
Well, time to tell you about that day of my death and rebirth. If I was you I get some snacks and a soda, it's going to be a long story. Its starts as this…
Flashback ten months ago
I stare down in hatred at the knock out wet panda in front of me. 'That mother fucking ass hole!' I kick him in the stomach in hatred again. The panda grunt in his unconscious state. I begin to literary saw red. I do not mean blood. Well there is some blood leaking out from the panda's nose and mouth but that don't count. For the first time in my life, I wanted him dead. I mean lying in his fucking grave dead.
I can feel my ki start to gather from within me. All I can think about is death. That dirty old man's death. I was starting to get to my breaking point. I try to keep it seal; shoot I thought my resistance has gotten stronger over the years. That shit went straight to hell, with all the fuck heads keep getting at my nerves. Oh, I was good at not letting it show. But right now, it was out in the open.
This unknown force that I have not notice until phoenix god incident. It's an inhuman force that I have never encounter in my whole life. It what help me to win against the screw up bird freak. Now here it is again, wanting to be free once more and it want to murder this bastard!
I bend down and grab the short hairs of the fur ball's head. Lifting it up so it was level with my rise up fist, where my ki was gathering to. When I felt that my fist was fully charge, I let it fly. Watching as my fist inch to inch, closer to the furry face. I stop myself at the last second, my fist one inch from the fool's face. I grind my teeth together as one word, keep echoing in my head. Honor.
"Damn fucking shit head!" I shout as I throw the ass into the pond. I stomp of in pure frustration. Lucky bastard, if he did not drill that nonsense about honor, he would be dead by my hands!
I stop walking and turn around in a rush. "I hope you fucking drown!" With that I went back to the direction of the house.
All I want is to take a hot bath. So I can be refresh and back as my self. For this girl form is getting on my nerves. As I was I a few feet to the door, my senses pick up fore longing. I semi turn around in time to be knocked down by no other…
Sigh…Shampoo.
Now I know my day has gone straight to hell! I rest my right elbow to the ground and place my head on it with a murder look on my face. Straight to hell!
While this was going on in my head, Shampoo was making her self damn comfortable on my back. Wrapping her arms around my body, rubbing her check into my back. Sighing content, taking a deep into my shirt. My right eye twitch in annoyance. Did that bitch just sniff me!
Now I know my temper has return at full force again. Now its target is this Chinese whore on my back. I semi turn around to give her the tongue lasting of her life and maybe kill her if I don't keep my anger in check. As I do this her hands accidentally touch my breast. I stop my movement as a blush appears on my face.
'Curse the female body for being so damn sensitive!'
While was trying to overcome my situation, I heard someone grasp in front of me. I turn around quick in time to see Akane boiling over the edge. I groan in the inside. Oh, fucking hell! This day has gone fucking worse! Oh my god, just kill me!
ooo
Thirty minutes I find myself back at the dojo, mad as hell. It would have taking me quicker to get here if not I have to knock Shampoo unconscious. Really now, you know it was coming. The bitch can't take a hint. After all it was all her fault that Akane knock us both into orbit. If Akane did not see Shampoo all caress my back and 'chest', this would not have happen. Sigh.
I tell you if that bitch Akane loves me then why the hell she doesn't trust me. Well that's easy, she's a lying slut! If she really love me like she said, then why the fucking she smack me and Shampoo into orbit with that fucking mallet, where god's know where she keep that thing! Plus who would have thought I have loved her in return. That was a waste of my time, found out the bitch still doesn't trust me. Damn her!
I stop myself at the front door as I feel a small wet tear slide down my cheek. This anger me even more while shock me at the same time. I never shade a tear in my life even when my bastard of a father tortures me into becoming the best fighter out there. I lean my head against the door as I breathe in some air to calm down the feelings bottle up in me. I have not cry then and I will not cry now!
I loved her that was true. But she tore out my heart as if it was nothing. I can never respect her for that. I love her! Look what it gives me! She was my first love. Kami, she was my first. I step away from the door and blink away unwanted tears from my eyes.
I will give her the satisfaction of seeing me like this. Her ass will not will this battle. I Ranma Saotome will not be defeated by an uncute tomboy. With renewal vigor, I open the door of the house and walk in.
One step in the place, my body resumes the everyday routine. I bid Kasumi a good morning as walk up the stairs to the bathroom. Kasumi just smile, saying good morning to me too. Watching me until I disappear from view.
Now that is someone, I respect more then any other person. She is too sweet to cause you pain. She is too gentle, period. Yeah, like an angel sent from heaven to purity the wicked. Jeez, if that was true then she failed. The evil bastards here are still evil bastards. I shake my head as I enter the bathroom. I close the door and begin to strip off my dirty and wet clothes. The only thing on my mind now is the bathe. I really need one. Not even a couple of inches from the tub, I hear the sounds of clicks from the direction of the closet. I turn around just in time to see Nabiki finishing of her roll of film. All I did was glare.
Nabiki just step away from the closet with a satisfaction look on her face. I did not remove my glare. Nabiki just return it back to me.
"Don't look at me that way. You and your father are freeloaders here. I have to find a way to pay for your stay. What better way to take pictures of your female form in the nude. There are guys out there who will pay a lot of money for these. Especially Kuno."
By saying that jerk's name was enough to have my blood boil. 'Why that bitch!' In the past it would not bother me as much, but now it down right aggravating. A person like me can never get any peace. When you thought, it can never get any worse. You are proving wrong. It's best if I don't except this day to be any better. Look at situation I am in now and with what happen earlier. The start of pure chaos. All I did now was point my finger the door in irritation.
"Leave. Now." I said between close teeth.
Nabiki just shrug her shoulders, in 'I don't care manner'. "Find by me, I got what I needed. Well until they are all sold out."
Without with the air of confidence and authority, she walk out. I slam the door behind her, also locking it. I know, I know. It won't make any difference, but it is a start. Well back to my process of getting that bathe. For I know I will need it later, in the mood I am in. That means a long soak if possible.
ooo
Now I was sit at the table for a round of Kasumi's delicious cooking. As I waited, I look up to Akane coming down the stairs, she glare at me when she reaches the bottom. I roll my eyes and look the other way. Confuse bitch.
I heard her angrily take out the chair across from me and sat down in a loud huff. I silently kiss my teeth, Oh hell no! I'm not going to fall for that again. I will not fall for her insult game. 'Cause every time I do, I always end up screw.
So I ignore her. That did not stop her from glaring me. Sigh. She not is going to make it easy for me today, that for sure. Why can not kami just kill me and get it over with. I have a deep gut feeling that today is going to be hell on earth.
That when the bitch's older sister made an appearance. The look of pure happiness and greed showing on her face as she takes a seat next to her sister. She then starts a conversation with her sister, eyeing me with a wicked smile once in while. I narrow my eyes at them. They are up to something, evil bitches.
The man of the house or should say big cry baby on creak, shows up from the living room. Then he enters, it look like he's looking for someone. More like my father, I bet. I grin to myself. That's a plus, bastard possible still unconscious. Or better yet, he's dead at the bottom of pond. That would make my day.
It looks like the crybaby give up on his search, because he is sitting at the head of the table. In time for Kasumi to bring in breakfast, I got up and help her with her load. She let out a thank you as I seat down the plates to the table. Akane angrily growls at this, throwing dragger stares in my direction.
Oh, wow and she calls me immature. After I finish helping Kasumi, I sat back down. Still ignoring Akane. During the whole scene, I didn't notice the look that the cry baby was giving me and Akane. Looking back and forth like a ping pong match. After a while, he settles his anger glaze on me. I ignore him also; I have no time for the both of them. I ate half way my food, when he broke the silence.
"You know Ranma; it is not polite to treat your fiancée like that. You should treat her with respect."
I stare at him in a blank, looking sideways at Akane. Who had a smug look on her face with the whole scene. No good bitch.
There was commotion at the front door; I turn around just in time see what was the fuss. Only to have my eyes slightly wide and lips drawn back into a sneer. What walk in, was not suppose be walking at all. Damn!
The crybaby got up and motion for the bastard to over sit to his left. The thing did just with animal growl. While I stare at the thing in disgust. Damn that bastard have more lives than fucking cat.
Damn fat ass panda in the chair, not only was the seat on the left the cry baby, but the fucking seat was next to me! My broiling point raise even higher.
"So Genma, where have you been all morning? I was looking for you, for a game of 'go'."
The panda did some growling then stop to realize that one can't understand panda. So the bastard took out his chalk board and wrote some shit on it. Done he hold it up for everyone to see.
It states: "Ask my poor excuse of a son. He tries to kill his father."
Everyone gasp at that statement except for me, who groan out loud in disbelief. Why that no good blabber mouth. Now I know I should have killed him when I got the chance!
Everyone slowly turn to me as I got up. You think I am going to try to explain myself to these people, you have another thing coming. Like those assholes going to believe me any time soon. Well, except for Kasumi, but she doesn't count right now.
I grin out viciously and left the table. That when all hell broke loose.
ooo
Here I am found walk along a fence after being scream on by a derange crybaby, a revengeful beat up panda and two bitches from hell. As I continue to walk, I dodge to the right. I nearly got hit by the same woman from the last years I been here, wanting to wet me with cold water. I also counter act the second splash. Something tells me, she always out to get me. Now she looks down me with a sorry look.
"Sorry again, young man."
Yea right, you knew you trying to splash me. Lying old hag. I jump off the fence and speed run toward direction of school. I stop in my tracks then sidestep to the left as a sharp wind passes the spot I was in. I turn around to see it crash into a wall. I narrow my eyes for a better look, I sneer as recognize the weapon. Before I can do any thing, I back flipped to the side in a crouch, as the ground fracture into a hole by a claw and chain that landed there.
I look up from my position as the chain recoil; back to the direction it was thrown. I stand back up and focus all my attention to the roof across the street. Not those two idiots, not this early in the morning.
I jump back as another yellow and black bandana hit the place I was standing. Causing more damage to the sidewalk. Shit, why now of all places. Why not after school when I am finally calm down. But no, Kami have to be real ass and sent these two assholes, after I got back from hell a few blocks down. I really hate my life.
I got in a crouch position and lunge myself unto the roof. Quickly going into a fighting stance. I'm going to make this quick and painful; after all, I really don't want to be late for period. Holding those buckets is being a pain. Plus the teasing from Akane doesn't help much.
So I launch at them, at full force!
ooo
I kiss my teeth at the injustice of it all. Here I am standing in one spot by the door of my first class, holding two water filled buckets in both hands. Yup, you got it. I was late for class and being punish for it.
Its all Ryouga and Mossue fault. Who would have known they finally work up a tactic. I shrug my shoulders in boredom. It still did not save their asses. But they accomplish one thing. They made me fucking late! I clear my mind and sigh at it all.
Well I am glad for one thing; at least my punishment is not having my energy drain. I stutter at the thought. That woman/child is insane. I adjust myself so I was slightly leaning on the wall. It's not like; you can call this punishment more like child's play. I shift so I can be more comfort. The down side to this, I don't like standing in one place for long.
"There lay thy evil sorcerer, stealer of women."
I silently groan at the familiar voice. Fuck! Was all I can think as the lump head come up beside me. Trying to intimate me with his height. I spat at the ground. Height he may have, but weak as a baby. I look up him and glare at him dangerously. On second thought, that's an insult to the baby. He weak as dog poop. I grin evilly at that note.
He took a step away from me, at the look on my face. I roll my eyes at this. Jackass. Like a splash of cold water, he was back in my face again.
"You can not intimate me. I am too smart to be lured into your dark magic. I who what really are."
For the first time that day, I laugh. I don't mean those small fakes laugh, I mean the lung busting laugh. Cause this guy is fuck up stupid. Or the real reason, I just finally crack. Second one makes sense. I know he is so dumb that you can get a good laugh out of him. But give me break, he not that funny.
"You fiend! I will slay you and save Akane and my red hair goddess from your gasp."
I look at him with blank look. Really now, he is starting to wear my patience paper tin now. What can I do, if I knock him down, he will just get back up again. The irony of it all.
I block him out as he went into his rant about how I am evil and he's going to save his lovers from my evil spell. What a dumb ass, now I'm really glad, I am not as Ranko. I was looking at the wall with fake interest until the bell rang. Blowing out an air of pent up stream; I walk away from the still ranting form of the jackass known as Kuno.
ooo
Lunch time, lunch time. Gone straight to hell. All I can remember was me walking out the lunchroom doors, leading to the outside. My feet were stepping in a rush as I try to get from chaos behind me. I could not contain it anymore. It was building higher and deeper. I can actually feel my eyes stinging with rage, my skin and insides were on fire. My head was pounding me as if jackhammers were lock inside. With all this happening to me, I say it is worse then the time with the phoenix king. Much worse. So I have to get away from the school, to the park. Away from them.
But it seems, Kami still want to mess with me. The assholes follow me anyway. Follow me across the school grounds. This made my position a lot worse. A red hot lighting sensation ripe through my veins. I let out a whimper, trying to suppress the pain. Through the roaring in my ears, I can hear Ukyo's worry voice, calling out to me. I ignore it, I want to be alone.
Alone? I stop as a shiver gone up my spine. What is the meaning of being alone? I for one, never experience it. I never gotten peace since the day I was born. I always been work on, being train to be the perfect fighter and in return I am chase across the world because of my 'father' and his mistakes. I am blame for his crap. I always have to look behind my back, 'cause I know there will be someone in the past, who want revenge on an illegal debt. And I always take the fall. What the honor in that?
Honor? What the hell! He preaches the shit and don't know the meaning in the word. How you knock it into your 'son', when you have none yourself. Where the fucking honor in that! I drop to my knees in pain and confusion. Now I am mixed up here. I don't know which direction to go. It's burry and distorted. I think I finally lost my way.
That when my instincts took over, I can feel my body to distort its self. Shift as everything explode around me. The pain from before became dull ache. My mind begins to slow slip in an unknown void. I try to fight back but I drag down deeper and fast. Like quicksand I was gone...
Screams, blood, running, rage, heat, power, freedom, sweat, tears, pain, mixed emotion and dieing. That what I felt from the outside world while in the nothingness, that I have been pulling into. Flashes of the carnage, my possess body was doing to the people I hate and want to forget. I try taking back control again but this being was too strong. I watch helplessly as everyone is hunted down in a burry haze.
I watch as Ryouga's attack was redirect to him, ripping through his body in a gust of blood. I did not get enough time seen if he was killed as the next target was sighted. Kuno was holding his wooden sword a loft, standing in front of Akane, Nabiki, Ukyo and Shampoo who were shock at what was taking place. Kuno went into protective pose and lunch his self at me. I can feel my self laugh evilly as he come closer.
I try again to regain control of my stole body but fail. I watch in horror as myself silently and quickly took Kuno's sword. Shock speechless by the move, he did not have time to dodge as I saw my hands take that sword and shove it into Kuno's stomach. It felted like watching a fucking horror show. Where the main character is the murder, the least suspected person. Killing off people one by one. Before anyone can realize their mistaken. While he gets scoot free. Oh my fucking god this shit is real!
I cringed when I saw Kuno's body hit the ground in a bone breaking wet thump. The tip of the sword sticking out from his back. I felt myself so tore. What the fuck am I going to do? The others are going to die if I don't stop this monster that I have become.
I heard myself laugh again, join by screams of fear and terror. My attention turns back to the seen before me, only to scream out in panic. "Oh, my god. Run bitches run!" I stop screaming, knowing they can't hear me. I watch helpless as I hunted them down one by one. Shampoo was the first to be pursued. Shampoo took out her weapons and stood in a fighter's pose. Looking at me in a proud Amazon face. All it took from me was my chestnut fist and she out on the ground bleeding from her cuts and bruises. When I thought myself done with her, I was struck die wrong.
I saw myself take up one of Shampoo's broke weapons, twirl it around my fingers. Then aim it down toward her chest but instead of hitting her. It hit Mousse, who from a blink of an eye came in front of me and prevent the strike. Having it stab him in the chest instead. He withers back by the impact, blood slipping from lips. He whispers out softly as his eyes close and landing along side Shampoo. "Shampoo…"
This shit is a fucking nightmare! That what I said out loud in the darkness of my mind. This is not happening, I am fucking dreaming. Yes…it's not really real. I came back to reality as I felt a sharp pain go up my back. Shit, why the pain have to be real. I want to forget.
My body twist around to the source of the attack, there stood Ukyo holding her giant spatula. Blood drip from the tip. She tightens her grip on the handle as I walk slowly to her direction. Walking like nothing has happen. It did, the pain in my back was my witness. Ukyo was the one to make the first move, charge up in the air, spatula raise up. My body just stood there, waiting for the attack.
At the last minute of impact to my face, I stop her attack with my hand. The sharp edge biting into my skin, blood dripping along the blade. Too shock at this, she was pull unbalance as my body pull her weapon towards me. She along with it. Then brought back my head and head butt her in the face when she was close. So distorted by the hit, she lost her grip on her weapon. I took it from her and slice her in the middle from the left. She kneed over in pain, clutching her stomach with both hands. Using the flat end of the weapon, I smacks into her. Causing her to fly into a tree. Dropping to the ground and laying into pond of her blood.
I heard a grasp to his side, look back to see Nabiki staring at the scene in front of her. She slowly turns her glaze toward me. I never liked that bitch but no one deserve to die. Not even his poor excuse of a 'father'. I try to break through, shouting at her to run. Hoping she can hear me. She turns to run.
She ran too late.
ooo
Now I was chasing my last victim through the school grounds. I was swimming in dark emotion. I was up to my chin in it. I beg for cry out loud. I wanted it all to stop. I watch as school students got smack down when they step in my way. I also watch as the school was tore apart from in and out. Catching on fire by my ki blasts. Trying to smoke out my hiding victim.
Shit, I wanted this all to stop. I literary want someone to kill me. I was out of control. I don't want to be killer. I am not even sure if all of are die, but it is wrong how it all went down. I just want it all to end.
A flash of a small shadow run across the corner of his eye. I felt an evil grin come across my face as I stake the running 'deer'. Through the shadows we go. I was faster. I cut in front of her, making her stop. Until like Nabiki, she not hesitated to runaway. My body walk slowly to her fast pace. The predator chasing its prey.
In the whole running process, Akane so busying keeping me at the corner of her, that she fail to see a tree root sticking from the ground. She went down a shocking shriek. Before she cans craw away, my body lands my right foot into her back. Hard. She screams out pain. She cries out even as I rub in the heel at the portion of her back. I bent down so my hand was on her neck. With a small whimper coming from her lips, my long fingers wrap its way around her and squeeze.
A mumble scream from her lips as the air slowly escape her lungs. My lips grin then turn into a grasp. Blood spat out by the action. Heated pain shoots through my middle like wild fire. My body looks down to see a metal rod sticking out from my abdomen. I see my hands touching the spot with shocking interest. Watching it in surprise as it came back with blood. I did not like the feeling at what my body was feeling at the sight. A sickly pleasurable feeling.
"Get away from her!" Shouted out a familiar voice.
My body stood up like the walking dead. Shifting my head side to side with a crack. My head turn slightly, over my shoulder. Looking at the intruder. I roll my eyes upward in my dark prison in shock. Why this jackass!
There stood my cowardly 'father', shaking in his boots. Trying to look brave, but fail miserably.
"Boy, I will not make you mess up our chance to unite both schools."
Why that selfish bastard! You know now I really regret that outburst. The darkness grows even thicker. This is not a good sign, trying to move in this cemented mass. Still not getting any way. My body still staring at my 'father', wraps my hands around the rod. Pull it out in a quick manner. More blood pours out from the wound.
Genma stare at me in terror as I lift up the rod. Inspected it with a sick smile. Watching the blood mixing with the rusted gray of the pipe. I pass it between my hands, staring at him at the same time. It took all that for coward to use the Saotome's school secret technique. Fast Break. In other words run away.
Run a couple of yards away from me. My body just looks at him then the rod then back to the figure of my chicken father. Next thing I know, my body toss back the rod and hit my father squarely at the back of his knees. He falls down with a bang.
So distort and pain by the hit, he was sluggish in his actions. It did not take long for my body to catch up with him and knock him back down. Before anything could happen, my body kicks him in the gut then the face. Lying on his stomach in pain. My body slams the heel of my foot into his back, cracking the spine. Genma howling a blood wrenching scream. Not having the ability to move, my hand grabs his hair on the top of his head. Pulling up so he was level with my face.
The old man's eyes half lidded with swollenness and bloodshot staring at me in fright. My body response was an evil smile and ki charge fist. Blood scatter over my face in dots. My father motionless body hit floor as I stand there with my bloody hand to my cheek, looking down. Dark contentment spread through out my body.
With no warning, I was slam out of the darkness to reality. Back in control of my body only to shout out in pain. I wrap my arms around my middle while my nerve ends were going off like lava. I lean over, trying to suppress the pain but too weak to do so. I lost too much blood. My body starts shaking as if I am having seizure. I cry out as my heart slow down to the point of nothingness.
What's happening to me? I shouted with my craze mine. My body broken and on fire, too much to stand anymore I fall down into a bloody heap. My life's blood fading from me, leaving me cold and numb. I realize in a shocking understanding. I was dieing.
I stare at the now burning trees in dull pain and disbelief. "What have I done?" I said, reviewing what my process body has done to everyone. Tears slip out from eyes by the memory. I cry even harder as my life flash before my eyes. There was not a single good memory. My eyes faded out as death over take me. My last thought was; maybe I did deserve to die…
ooo
I hear nothing. Feel nothing. See nothing. Just nothing. So when I open my eyes from my nothingness, why do I see the color white?
I blink out the brightness of the color. I shift over to my side. Frown when felt a solid ground under me. My eyes widen from confusing to shock. I can feel. I look around my surrounds. Shit I can even see.
I slowly got up.
"Where am I? Is this heaven or hell?" I said more to myself.
"Neither." Said a voice from behind me.
I turn around only to see nothing. Puzzle at this, I start to search around the whiteness for the source of the voice. What the hell going on? What seen pointless, I stop and drop to the floor. Sitting Indian style. I look again at the endless white. I frown again.
"If this is not heaven or hell then where the hell am I?"
This time nothing answers my question. I drop my head into my hands as a thought came to me. Oh please kami no…I can't be here…have my life have been that fuck up. (He thinks he's in purgatory)
I close my eyes against the mixed emotions in me. I die from the horror of my life, only to suffer for all eternality in this prison. I could not think anymore; my whole mind was now in turmoil.
"For someone who is one of the best fighters of the human realm, this is not what I expect of the 'Great Ranma Soatome'."
My head zip away from my hands, to see a small figure from a distance. The figure was unmoving and silence.
"Who are you?" I said out loud.
The figure remained silence from where it stood. I became annoyed by this. Who this thing thinks it is?
"Who are you?" I repeated this time, even more loudly.
Still no response. I groan in aggravation. Damnit what is its deal? I throw back my head into my hands again. Shoot, so this going to be my sentence. I am really fucked up.
"It was a mistake, you know." Said the voice, all of a sudden.
I look up again, a little shock and confuse at the same time. What is this thing talking about? But that did not stop it to continue.
"It was a mistake to leave you in the hands of that 'man'."
I look up toward the figure in full out confusion. "Really now, what is it you are talking about?"
"Pardon, it's none of importance. But…" The figure begins to move toward my direction. Becoming bigger by the second. I stare at the figure in shock because he heard me. I shift to my feet, just in case I have to fight.
"…the more important thing here is you, little one." The figure concluded.
I narrow my eyes at that, "What you mean by that?" I ask in suspicion.
"Come now, I know you notice. Look at you, look within you. Don't you feel something unnatural there? Something that was not been there before but now its there."
"I know you find that strange."
"What is it? I want it gone." I demanded.
"Well that's kind of a problem, little one. That thing that is awoken within you is part of you. You can't remove it."
"Damn it all to hell! I don't know why I am talking or wondering about it. It's not like I am alive to harm anyone with it again. I am just plain dead."
The figure sighs at that. "It's really was a mistake to leave you there. Who would have thought it come out like this?"
"Would you stop talking in riddles. What you mean by 'it was a mistake to leave you there'? Who are you?"
The figure now was more recognizable, humanoid. I am not sure of the gender, but it was human shape.
"Like I said from before little one that is not important now. What you are becoming, is more important."
I took a step back at that. "Huh? What I am 'becoming'…"
"Yes. If you don't control it now, the same thing that happens before will happen again."
"That's easily solved. I am dead. Stone ass dead."
The figure sighs again. "You are not dead, well except for your body. You can't die in that way."
"Shut up! All you are saying is bullshit. Leave me the fuck alone! Can I ever die in peace? Is that so much to ask?
Not wanting to hear anymore from this 'creature', I turn on my heels and walk away. I was stop by a hand on my shoulder. I spin around in reflex, only to shudder in uneasiness.
What stood before me definite not human. I don't know how I know. I just knew. But that not what left me paralysis. It was the way he look and emitting strange energy. Yes, it's a he. I know what you are thinking, so I was dumb not to notice it was a male from his voice. Give me a break; I was caught up with his bullshit.
He does look kind of feminine, radiating a graceful and beautiful kind of quantity. I blush at what I thought. Oh my god, I just thought he was beautiful. I back step in horror. What the hell is wrong with me? Why I thought that?
The older male stood there silence and still like a statue. With all the flowing Japanese robes surrounding him in colors of dark red and teal design in gold tread embroidery. That brought me to his hair. Dark red as his main robe, long and thick barely passing his feet. His face smooth and round with hint masculinity in his chin, cheek bones and nose. His lips…cough…let's just say their perfect okay. But what got me so uneasy, was his eyes. His eyes hold a shade of violet, with a hint of blue within its deeps. The same blue as mines. That the unsetting thing.
When I was young, I always wonder who I got my color eyes from. Father's eyes were black while mother has dark brown. That leaves me to why I have blue when neither of my parents has none. My mother would say that sometimes some family traits skip a generation and found in the next. But for some reason, I just did not believe her. Now I am looking at eyes that hold the blue of my eyes.
For some reason, within me I know who this guy is. Like I know him all my life. His eyes are so clear to me; I could look into his soul. My eyes widen as I was taken with them. I saw flashes of scenes that I don't recall in my life. I then realize it was his. In a blink of an eye I was thrust out of reality.
I steady my unbalance and shake my head to get out the feeling. I look up at him once again, but this time instead of apprehension I felt anger. Anger toward this man before me. The alien energy within me, stir once again.
"You…you…you…"
"Ranma, calm down."
"I will not listen to you. You bastard!"
"Calm down."
"You expect me to calm down. What the fuck!"
"Look Ranma, you must calm down. Or else you will lose control again."
"I don't know why you telling me this shit. I don't fucking care no more. All my life I had been living a fucking lie. Following shit of a man, who is not my real fucking father. How could you do this! You are the one who done this to me. I hate you…"
"You abandon…you abandon me to that bastard. Shit! As you think about it, why mother never told me. Oh my god, she could of save me a world of pain and hell. Unless she wanted this to happen to me. My life is fucked up!"
"Ranma…" Said a warning.
"Shut up!" I launch myself at him. Next thing I know I was on the floor, being hold down.
"Do you see what happen when you don't have control it. It takes over you."
"Get off me!"
"I can't, it controlling you. You must suppress it."
"I don't care anymore. I just want…I just want all this hurt to end. I want to be free."
"Ranma, listen to me. Death can't solve anything. 'Cause I know, I was human once. I know how it was like to have a 'fuck up' life. But you, you got off easy than me. For me it was a living hell of death, everyday. I have killed. Kill for justice; only to realize it was all lies. Your hands are not stain with death. Not like mine. I done bad things, things I regret and try to repent. In the end of it all this is what became of me."
"I have fought in wars at a young age. I was one of the best swordsmen out there. I thought I was helping the people, only the cause more pain. The battles I face were so intense, that in can make any man go insane. So much blood and gore, I breathe it and saw it everyday. I realize it was all false. I was just a prawn on a big chessboard, serving the wrong side. I felted so unclean then. When everyone would see me, they run from me in fear. Manslayer they called me. Through the remaining years of my human life, I am still call that. Even through I try to repent."
"I am in the history books, a legend. I don't feel like a legend. Not now, not ever. You said you want it all to end. I won't stop you. It's your life, but I am one of two to bring air into your lungs."
"This is not the way; I want this first meeting to be."
"There was nothing I could have done. For a god like me, I could not keep you. I had only two choices. Have you stay with your mother or kill you. I choose you to live. For I love you and I don't want death on my son."
"I loved your mother, but a god and human can never be together. So here you are a gift from the both of us. I'm sorry to leave you with that mad man. Like I said from before, I had no choice."
"God…?" I said in disbelief.
"Yes a god. The god of war, because of my actions when I was human. This is what I become."
"So that makes me…"
"Demi-god."
"Oh no…this shit is not real."
"As real as anything."
"So what is to become of me now?"
The god slowly got off me, standing up straight. He stretch out his hand to me, I took it and he help me up to my feet. He looks into my eyes as he spoke.
"Well for one thing; since your demi-god powers have awoken, I have to teach you how to control them and keep you from harms way. So I know of a place you can go, away from the life you lead."
I turn my head to the side, away from his eyes. I mumble under me breath.
"…that's a change."
"Sadly you can't go there now."
I quickly turn back my head back to him, glaring at him.
"Why the hell not?"
"You have to get out of high school first. This place I want you to go, is college of sought that can help you and have you escape from your old life."
He then brought his hand forth, a white piece of paper appear between his fingers.
"Take this."
I slowly walk toward him and took the paper from him. I look down at it, scanning it then frowning.
'Freedom Wings' I look up at him. "You got to be kidding me."
"No joke. I will make it look like nothing had happen. So try to keep your self in check until the day comes."
I fold the paper and place it in my pocket. "Sure why not. It's not like I have no choice." I sighed.
"Good, time for you to go."
My eyes pop out by that cold comment. "Wait! You still not tell me who you are."
"That is not important."
My body begin to shake with surpass anger. "Like hell it is! I want to know the name of my 'father'."
The god sighs and folds his arms. "Fine then, I'm named the 'God of War'. Farewell."
"Wait a minute…"
I was cut off as I disappear from the area. The last thing I heard from him was a sigh and this… "This is not the time for you to know my real name, little one."
ooo
After that I found myself in a hospital bed, bandages wrap around my waist and arms. I was looking around the room in a daze, trying to figure out what is going on. Then all the memories start to flow hard into my mind like a hurricane. I push myself into a sitting position, my right hand holding my aching head. I remember all that happen from before and my talk with my real dad.
I stare into my lap at the memories. Were they even real? Answering my question a powerful wind rips the room from the window. As I close my eyes by the force of it, something smacks me in the face. I grab at the thing, to find out it was a paper. The wind stop and I did a double take. It was the same paper that the god gives me. I blink at this. So I guess it was all real.
ooo
So that how it went. Well, I did say it was going to be a long story. I bet some of you are bit shock at certain parts, wondering if all that shit really happens. While the people that know me, are glaring at the non-believers. Saying 'you got to be kidding me.' Well here my say in this, 'I don't give a shit if don't believe me or not.' You came to listen and you did. Time for me to go, 'cause really doesn't want to be late. Freedom here I come.
