Brothers of Old
(Nothing to say much here Just enjoy it.)
Chapter 7: The Visit to the Shrine Part 3
Everyone was outside and chose a place to sit on the veranda while munching on treats, well Usagi was. The two brothers were facing each other.
"So what are the rules to this spar, Ranma?" Kyo asked.
"Well, I was thinking you should choose again." He replied.
"Well, how about anything goes as long as the damage is kept to a minimum to none at all," Kyo said. Ranma raised a finger, "And Yes that includes ki attacks, and don't worry about hurting me, remember what I told you at the Tendo's." Kyo said before Ranma could say anything. Ranma just nodded. Then both bowed to each other respectfully then dashed at each other fist pulled back for a powerful punch, but even though the cure did cure him of the curse, it apparently didn't cure him of being a water magnet. It started to rain heavily.
"Wow I didn't hear this in the weather report." Rei said as she looked up at the sky.
During the rain the clash of fists by the two brothers continued. Ranma jumped over the low sweep that Kyo used to throw him off balance but was hit by a following uppercut that hit him in the gut. Ranma back-flipped to land on his feet then kicked off to start counter measures.
"Kachuu Tenshin Amaguriken!" Ranma shouted as he about to shoot his fists to hit Kyo. Kyo brought both his arms up to guard, but Ranma was one step ahead as Ranma disappeared with his presence going along with him for the ride.
'Damnit that call was a fake' Kyo thought as he calmed himself down.
Everyone, except Mr. Hikawa, Kyo, and Nodoka, were surprised and was looking frantically to where Ranma disappeared to.
"You guy's won't be able to see him. He's moving faster than the eye could see and he is also suppressing his presence with ki so you can't find him." Kyo said Getting into a defensive stance.
"But Isn't that impossible?" Usagi asked while the others girls nodded in agreement but surprised that Usagi said something intelligent that wasn't about boys. Just then Kyo's top disappeared into thin air showing off his muscles and hardened six pack abs.
'This made the girls blush, 'Wow that's a nice body' they thought and blushed but then Kyo turned around. The girls were horrified at the sight of his back. His entire back was covered in burns, scars which Ami deduced to destruction of cells by being beaten by a blunt objects, and cuts, and screw holes, they even found some metal sheets surgically drilled onto some parts of the rib cages ( think of Vash from Trigun and the episode where he shows his wounds, except to a more severe degree).
"So this is what you were talking about," Mr. Hikawa said to Nodoka.
"What, What happened?" Ami and the others asked. Nodoka was about to say something but Kyo cut her off.
"When my brother was about to learn the neko-ken our idiot ex-father sold me off to some doctors who were researching Human regeneration for the triads. Do you guys know what my adoptive father sold me to them for?"
All the girls nodded but dreaded the answer.
"That bastard sold me for a measely bowl of rice which he promptly at on the spot and left me to train Ranma in the neko-ken. I was left behind to be tested on. To test out to see if it would work the instated all forms of torture known to man. Luckily, the horrible ones were saved till later when they actually got it right." Tears appeared on the gils faces shocked and appalled by what this boy has gone through in his life. Just then, Ranma appeared out of nowhere behind Kyo.
"Hey! Eat this Kyo, Saotome Ryu Umisenken: Hakudatoushinshou!" Ranma yelled as he shot his fingers at pressure points that are located along the spinal cord. But Kyo had anticipated this move and as the fingers shot at him, he ducked under the attack and elbowed Ranma in to stomach. Then grabbed his right wristand flung him into a tree, which promptly fell down. Ranma stood up and wiped the sweat off his face.
"Not bad Kyo, but how about this! Moukotakabisha!" and like last time a shinning blue blast that portrayed confidence shot out at Kyo.
"Nice but how about this! Hiryuu shouten ha revised: Kokshouryu shouten ha!" Kyo yelled as his hand released negative ki that collided with the confident energy of the moukotakabisha and created a twister with the ki blast of confidence was reduced to ki blades that spun around in the eye of the twister.
"Crap! Hiryuu shouten ha kaitei ban: Hiiryuu hyoutoppa horizontal blast version!" Ranma shouted as he shot a twisting right straight forcing the blast to be nullified and the excess ki rebounded to hit Kyo dead on in the chest flinging him through 10 really thick tree's and created a crater in the ancient blessed tree of the shrine. From this blast Kyo spat out blood and walked back towards the group while blood flowed out of his mouth and when you looked closely you could see a portion of Kyo's torso was missing.
"Kyo you're injured! We need to take you to a hospital fast!" Ami said as she ran up to Kyo who held up his hand to signal a stop.
"Don't need to. It's healing right now." Kyo said pointing to the wound and to an aspiring doctor, this intrigued her but as a typical school girl, this disgusted her to no end. The wouns started to heal the blood vessels then it immediately started to regenerate the nerve fibers than replace the skin cells. In under a few minutes the wound was almost non-existing, except for a tiny scar which disappeared shortly afterwards.
"Hey Ranma, I give up this match. That last attack drained me of most of my ki and just defending against that fatale blast took up the little of my ki I had remaining." Kyo said as he fell uncouncious to the ground in a heap.
Everyone ran to check up on Kyo to see if he was alright. Once they knew he was just fatigued they, as in Ranma, carried Kyo into the guest room where they laid him down in to a futon and quietly left to go to a different room. But for some strange reason, Ami stayed behind.
"Hey Ami, Aren't you gonna come with us?" Usagi asked loudly, which earned a bop on the head by the other girls.
"No I'll stay here just in case something happens." Ami said.
"Well, ok. But if something does happen I don't want us to be responsible for him dying on us." Rei said.
"Ok" Ami said and with that the others left the room. 'I wonder why I stayed behind, I mean we already know that he just over exerted himself and a little rest would bring him back to normal.' Ami thought as looked toward the sleeping figure of Kyo. "Wow." Amis said to herself looking at Kyo's lean, muscular figure, she slowly put a hand on his stomach and slowly moved the hand over his chest. 'What am I doing!' she thought as she pulled her hand back blushing, 'Was I feeling up Kyo for a moment there?' Kyo stirred for a moment surprising Ami, but soon went back to staying still.
Couple hours later
Kyo opened his eyes and looked around, "Where am I?" he asked to no one in particular and then remembered the spar, 'Oh yeah I fainted and they probably got Ranma to carry me into this room to rest' he thought as he got up from the futon then he heard a faint breathing and looked around the room to see a girl with blue hair sleeping. 'Must be one of Rei's friend. I wonder why she's in here though.' He thought as he lifted her up bridal style and then gently laid her down in to the futon and tucked her in. He looked up at the clock to see what time it was.
"Wow, I slept till midnight, I guess I did over exert myself a little too much." He whispered to himself as he quietly opened the door the closed it so not to disturb the blue-haired girls fitful rest.
Couple minutes later
Ami woke up to see herself in Kyo's futon. 'Why am I in Kyo's futon, more importantly, where is Kyo?' she thought as she went out side and looked in to all the other vacant rooms but he wasn't there. Then when she went outside to find Kyo she found him on the roof of the main shrine looking up at the sky with a small smile on his face.
"Can I ask you why you're up there?" Ami said to which Kyo looked down at her and replied, "Well I didn't want to disturb you sleep so I tucked you in and came out here, then I saw how bright and clear the stars are tonight so II decided to climb up here and watch the night sky."
"Oh ok" Ami said as she turned around to go back into the house.
"Wait!" Kyo said as he hopped off the roof and flipped in midair to land facing Ami, "Would you like to join in watching the stars with me?" He asked her. Ami just looked into Kyo's obsidian eyes and then she blushed slightly seeing him smile. She just nodded not trusting her voice. But what made her blush more was the fact that Kyo lifted her up bridal style and then jumped on to the shrine roof.
"You ok? You're face is red as a tomato." Kyo said to her. 'Oh my god! A cute boy just asked me to stargaze with him!' she thought as her face became brighter with the shade of red.
"I'm ok" she replied with a little squeaky voice. He smiled and looked up at the sky.
"You know, we never got to introduce ourselves to each other, my name is Kyo Abarai! whats yours?" Kyo said.
"M-m-m-my n-name is Ami Mi-Mizuno." She said stuttering from the nervousness she felt.
"Well, it's nice to be your acquaintance Ami-san." Kyo said smiling.
"Same here" Ami said as she looked up into the night sky. After a couple minutes passed Ami fell asleep to which Kyo picked her up and brought her back to the guest room where he slept and tucked her in again. He left the room to find another place to sleep.
While back in his room, Ami had a smile on her face, dreaming about Kyo.
