Taro: we own no one!
She opened one eye.
"T-taro..."
he gave her a weak smile.
"i'm here baby"
His youkia blood was screaming for him to mix their blood so she'd make it. She could see it in his eyes.
"please do it."
"but-"
"Please i-i don't wanna leave you."
He looked at Kataro who nodded.
"okay."
He cut his hand with his razor sharp claws and put his hand to her wound. Their pink and green auras mixed and the wounds started to heal. There was a bright flash of light and then you could see Taro holding Sakura again. Kataro rushed forwards.
"What happened."
"I-"
he started weakily then gained some courage.
"I gave her some of my youkia blood so she'd heal quickly."
Kataro's eyes widened.
"You Did What?!"
"It was the only way! Besides she asked me too and i can't say not to her. And i didn't wanna lose her."
He hung his head waiting for the yells of digust.
"Your right i'm sorry...i just...take care of her i'm trusting you if she gets hurt i'll kill you."
Taro's eyes widened in surprise and he nodded.
"Feh. Of course i'll never come that close to losing her again."
They both looked down at the passed out girl in Taro's arms. Loving looks in their eyes they both stood and headed off towards the house Sakura nestled in Taro's arms.
"Hey! Wait we need your account of what happened here!"
Kataro turned nodded at the man. He shoved his hands in his pockets.
"I'll do it you take her home."
"Right."
end flash back
Taro held Sakura tightly.
"Wow."
Akane said softly.
"yeah.. it didn't even leave a mark!"
Sakura said cheerfully.
"Well it won't happen again."
Akane felt envy run through her.
' i wish Ranma would be like that with me.'
Sakura reached up and rubbed behind Taros ears allowing him to take comfort in holding her for a little while. The adults having walked away to talk a while ago. And Maye had ran off to play. Ranma put an arm around Akane remembering all to well when he'd almost lost her. Sakura pulled away from Taro and stood clapping her hands together.
" Let's go!"
"and just where are you going?"
"Too the market nii-chan."
A look passed between Taro and Kataro.
"I'll go to."
"we'll go too."
Ranma said standing up with Akane.
"All right then i'll just grab my purse and we'll leave."
She grabbed a huge black purse with cherry blossoms al over it. They all slipped on their shoes and waited out front for her.
"Okay i'm here lets go!"
"Nee-chan!"
They paused by the small iron gate.
"Hia Maye?"
"Cherries please?"
"All ready at the top of my list."
She said smiling kindly and messing up her younger sisters hair fondly.
"Yay! Arigato nee-chan!"
"your welcome now go play."
Sakura watched the girl walk away a fond motherly smile on her face. Taro smiled at her Amber eyes twinkling.
"Come on koi."
He put an arm around her waist and headed down the path Ranma and Akane close behind.
"well we don't have to worry about you having another crazy fiance."
He held out his hand to her and she took it lacing their fingers together.
"Yeah she seems normal and she's taken so i ain't gotta worry."
"i'm glad."
Ranma smiled at her tugging her hand making her come closer.
"Me too 'kane me too."
They walked side by side quietly for a while.
"this is nice.. it's like a mini vacation."
"Yeah no crazy amazons or chiefs...no princes or suitors..no crazy fathers plotting together.. well one but i ain't to worry about him.. no Rouga popping up everywhere.. This is great!"
Akane giggled at his goofy grin. Taro's ears flicked forwards.
'Good he does love that girl i don't havta kill him after all."
Sakura sighed and snuggled closer to him.
"He's in love with Akane-chan Taro"
"i know but i smell several women on him and not just his mom and her sisters but others at least 3 others but ones...i don't know it's weird"
"Theres the market!!"
She shouted pointing at it. It was a small town bustling with venders and shoppers. Akane rushed forwards linking arms with Sakura.
"Well then lets go."
The two girls rushed forwards leaving two surprised boys in their wake. Then they headed forwards not wanting to lose them. They finshed almost all of their shopping and headed to the fruit lady.
"Just a 1/2 a pound please."
The women with kind blue eyes fill it up and added extra.
"Here's a little extra for you too Sakura-chan."
"Thank-you Animya-san."
They paid and started the long walk back.
"Sakura!"
"oh boy."
The other two looked at them surprised. Taro Grabbed SAkura around the waist and jumped up in an inhuman way into a tall tree. Where they were just standing a boy stood. His long greasy black hair pulled into a ponytail his blue eyes where stunning.
"Bring my woman back down here Youkia!!"
Akane and Ranma exchanged glances.
"At least we're not the only ones."
Akane whispered.
"Oh it's just you Haro i thought you where Bankotsu."
He jumped back down Sakura craddled in his arms bridal style and not one bag had tipped or even moved.
"Sakura my dear."
He reached for her only to quickly snatch his hands back as Taro snarled at him bearing his fangs. Said boy glared at Taro.
"She belongs with me in the village dog-boy not with a demon like you!"
Akane and Ranma were witnessing a true racist trying to destory a happy couple. They both frowned and moved forward mouths open to protest. SMACK! they stopped shocked. No one had seen it coming. Taro's eyes held hurt beyond the cool mask he put up.
"Don't you dare insult him! he's a way better man than you'll ever be! i BELONG where ever he is not with you and your horrible friends. I BELONG WITH MY MATE!"
Haro stood there shocked 4 sets of angry eyes on him. His hand still touching the cheek she'd slapped.
" You'll regret that!"
Taro growled mencingly.
"Don't threaten my mate you basturd."
"it was a promise."
Taro growled even louder and Ranma got in a fighting postion hiding Akane from view.
"Both of you will pay for this."
He looked from Taro to Ranma then took off towards the village. Ranma relaxed his stance.
"Who the hell was that?"
"Haro he wants Sakura because of her power and cooking skills."
"why the hell'd he drag me into it."
"One you where gonna stand up for me and two he must like Akane-chan."
Ranma scowled and they both sighed.
"Another one i don't see what they see in a tomboy like-"
Wham Ranma was flying air mallet express. HE landed in a pond and a red haired girl jumped up.
"What'd you do that for!"
Sakura and Taro stood staring at him..well her. The girl climbed outta the pond and stood away from Akane dripping wet. She took off her shirt and started wringing it out.
"Ranma!!! Your a GIRL baka! put ur shirt back on!"
Ranma looked down.
"Damn it!"
She put said shirt back on. Akane gave them a weak smile.
"we'll explain back at home."
Sakura Tasha: Don't worry i'm just showing that Ranma and Akane aren't the only ones with the problems they have theirs some fluff for you but the next chapter's full of it so just wait!
Taro: Grrr... that damn Haro...
Sakura: -.-' anyways ja ne!
