I Never Wanted to Be This Way
As you all hopefully know, as I have mentioned before, I have an addiction to the Anime/Manga series Ranma ½, and that is probably what led me to fanfiction in the first place. I apologize for my usage of a personality from that show, one of the insane characters, that I would have loved to see killed off, so I did it now. And now, Time for me to respond to reviews, which I rarely do.
RLnaruhina: Me? Braver? You're kidding right, I would say I'm a little harsh for what I plan in the future, but I hope to make up for it though. And if you want to add me or my story to that Sain stories thing you're planning on, count me in.
ThuhGamefreak: Yeah it does make you pity Sain, you're surprised I don't have much reviews? I'm not, I think my writing isn't too great, my first fic is terrible, I really need to revise the first 4 chapters of it, but you have my thanks.
Spingleburt: I inspired a story…didn't think I could do that, yet I inspired one of my friends to start writing, only to have him get bored and stop, hehe.
Arashisama: Okay…umm, I understand where you're coming from, I don't know where it says that only females can be Peg Knights, but it's only this chapter and it's not worth fixing at the moment, I won't make the same mistake again.
KG-Forever: Ah, One of my two remaining reviewers from the beginning, you have my deepest gratitude. Sorry about having the psycho (Kodachi Kuno, Ranma ½) in the story, I did mention her in the second chapter, and I decided to get rid of her. Haven't gotten to read your story yet, hopefully I'll get around to it.
Nightmare: Just wondering, but are you the author Nightmare3, author of Fire Emblem High? I got the feeling when you used Karel as a muse in the review, anyway the other faithful reviewer I have, and you also have my deepest gratitude for keeping me going. And yes, it will get worse…but not much
My good idiotic friend: This is for you Rob, if you dare print this chapter out and bring to school to read it during class or anything else, I swear I will come after you with my very sharp pointy katana! I hope you understand.
One last thing, I don't own anything, Fire Emblem, Ranma ½ or anything else unless I say I do, like Kesa for instance, she's my OC. Also note, this fic will be a little different from the game, I will have 2 tacticians later on, and just because, I'll also probably have Lyn be meaner to Sain. Warning, more cursing than usual.
(Personal Opinions)
"Dialogue"
Ch. 5
I took the head band off of my head and used my sword to cut it so I could wrap it around Kesa's leg as she was sitting down trying to ignore the pain.
"So, is this what a normal Saturday is like you?" she asked smiling a bit before her expression changed to a look of pain.
"No, not normally, I usually don't have a pretty girl with me, but other than that, it started out as it usually does, I just hope the next problem doesn't come…" I said as I finished tying the headband around her cut leg and focused on something outside the window. Kesa sat there staring at me for some odd reason…probably because I said she was pretty, I still looked outside for any signs of torches, which I did happen to see.
"Shit, we have to get out of here fast, can you walk?" I asked her. Kesa only responded by quickly standing up and walking over to where I was, favoring her hurt leg a little.
"Yeah, I'll be fine, so what's it this time" she asked me.
"The I Hate Sain the Womanizer mob is searching for me again, and I have to get to my horse before they take him away," I responded.
"Okay I'll go out the back exit and wait for you to get your horse okay?" she said.
"Okay"
With that I ran down the stairs, to the exit, and to where my horse was tied up, and I could already see those torches and pick forks held in the air, along with other types of deadly weapons I don't feel like conveying. The mob was mostly made of women, but also men who didn't like me hitting on their wives, girlfriends, or daughters, especially daughters. It took a bit to untie the reigns from the post, but I got on quickly and rode around to the back of the tavern, where Kesa was waiting holding a fence for support. Grabbing her arm, I pulled her up to sit in front of me on the horse.
"We're not coming back here again. Got it Sain?"
"Right, but you keep saying 'we'" I replied with, but got my horse to start galloping towards Caelin castle.
"W-Well, you need someone to look after you" she said, her voice wavering.
"Hmm, seems like someone likes me-Oww" I said, until she elbowed me in the stomach.
"You haven't shown me any reason to consider you a womanizer...yet, except all the things that happened to us in town, but you haven't acted all like everyone says you usually do. And I'm worried that if I leave you alone too long, you might go back to your old ways, and then I might not be able talk to you because you'll be too busy…doing other things…" Kesa, surprised me again by saying that, and confused me to no end.
"Thank you," is all I said to respond, and indeed I was grateful. After that we were silent until made it back to the castle, where I had to carry her to the infirmary, getting many people to stare at me, and a group of arrogant fools from the 2nd division of cavaliers started to give me trouble.
"What did you do this time pervert?" the one in teal armor asked rhetorically "Chase her until she tripped and take advantage of her"
"Why don't you let me take her, I'm sure she'd be happier away from you" The one in brown armor said, and he looked the most moronic out of all of them, probably the others used him as a meat shield, I'd think he'd make a better knight, wait no he'd make a better soldier, he seems more like cannon fodder than anything else.
Behind me I could here Kesa growl, being I was carrying her piggy-back style, she seemed really angry.
"Back off Jackasses! You don't know what happened, so why don't you leave him the hell alone!" She yelled at them, and pretty much shocked the hell out of them, the look on their faces were either surprised, angry, or just plain stupid. No, no one should stand up for the pervert Sain, the womanizer that everyone believes shouldn't be alive, because he caused so much trouble for people, even though he's helped save a bunch of people fighting for Caelin. But I smirked in victory and walked passed them, towards the direction I believed the infirmary was in.
"Of all the nerve, if I wasn't in so much pain from that whip, I would sooo beat the living daylights out of him"
"Calm down, we can't have you getting more hurt, I'd probably get into more trouble, and than banned from seeing you and we wouldn't want that would we?" I said.
"Of course…I guess I'm not the only one saying 'we'" she replied with.
"Well I kind of like the word, 'we' seems much better than 'I' or 'me'"
"Whatever Sain…Turn right"
"Huh? Oh…" Turning right I went into the infirmary, let her down into a chair.
"Well, I guess I'll pick you up here tomorrow" I said.
"Yeah I guess, Thanks for today though, it was…different" she said to me, smiling in her pretty way, but I could still see she was in pain from that large cut from the whip.
"Yeah, different…" I said, before walking out the door to head to my room in the barracks.

Well, life for me got much happier after that day. The next morning I went to visit Kesa, she was treated and felt a lot better, and was able to walk too, even though she had a very visible limp. I introduced her to Kent, who kept hinting about a relationship somewhere in the future for us, not that I doubted him, but it got a little annoying. It was good to see that I had one friend who was happy for me though.
Kesa and I practically did everything together until it was night and we went to sleep in our own rooms. I shared my room with Kent, not that that wasn't obvious, but he wouldn't let me sleep until I told him what happened. He was really happy for me to finally find someone who actually like being around me.
One day, Kesa, Kent, and I were walking to the Dining Hall. The same jerks that stopped me from bringing Kesa the infirmary decided that Kesa deserved some punishment for denying them the pleasure of being her heroes. And since she was around me, who was the biggest pervert in the world in their eyes, which isn't true, they believed that she has probably slept with me too. And with that idea in mind, they started to call her a 'Slut' and a 'Whore', and accused her of prostitution too, which I would've killed them for, if Kesa hadn't acted first.
Kesa walked up to the group's leader, started whispering into his ear, and drawing a circle on his chest with her finger, leaving him blushing and babbling like and idiot. Seeing this, I got a little angry, most likely it was jealousy…nobody would blame me, I hope. All of my fears were taken away when she kneed him in a…a place where no man should be hit, even if he deserved it. The man fell to the ground, groaning pain before he passed out. The other two, took action immediately, each grabbing one of Kesa's arms. Things looked like they were going to get painful so Kent and I choose to intervene. I tackled the big stupid guy while Kent grabbed the other and rammed his head into the wall, it looked rather painful. My only problem was that I wasn't as strong as the big idiot I tackled, so I was a disadvantage. I had the element of surprise thankfully, and used it to its full potential, punching him as many times as I could in the face. I now understood why he was a cavalier, he can't take a hit, but he has strength, and hopefully would have enough speed.

"Well," I began, "What should we do with them?"
"I think we should hang them by their toes from the rafters of the stables" Kent suggested, the fact that he could be rather cunning when duty wasn't on top of him was surprising.
"Do what you want.." Kesa, with tears in her blue eyes, walked away from us, not even bothering to look back.
"Jerks" I said, kicking the guy who said the unflattering words.
"Sain, go deal with her, I'll take care of these guys. And if you see Gray and Blue on your way, send them down here, I might need help" Kent told me, pushing me forward.
"Thanks" I yelled back as a rushed off after Kesa.
(A/N) Well…sorry for leaving off at this point, I really want to get this chapter out, and this seemed like a good spot. Main problem, I'm spending too much time on the Sain/Kesa romance that will end depressively. I also have another problem, I have a feeling that I made Kesa a Mary-Sue, or a perfectly made OC who everyone likes and has no faults. I am not totally convinced yet, and if you believe it not to be true, please tell me, because I need the support, and I feel like I might not be able to continue this, since I don't like Mary-Sue's.
