Remembrance 2: And So, Time Passed On . . .
By Kazuma20
Arc One: Retribution
Hoshi stopped talking and took a deep breath and looked up. He then got up from his seat.
"Excuse me while I go to the bathroom." and then walked away and he left the other five to contemplate what he told them.
"I still don't see it?"
"See what?"
"Why would the killer go to all this trouble to kill this girl."
"Oh! Maybe he has so secret agenda we don't know about."
Hoshi walked back in and sat down again. Picked up his tea and took a sip of it and then set it on the table.
"Hoshi . . . Please tell us the rest?" asked Usagi.
"All right. Let's . . . continue . . . " he said closing his eyes.
Seisho stood in front of the first pillar. He pulled the brand out of a plastic bag and stuck it into the pillar. He turned it counter clock wise then clock wise till he heard a click.
"Angus is in place." he cleared his troat and stated, "And I saw the lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beast say, 'come and see.' And I saw and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."
He turned and walked away from the pillar and out the door.
Ranma had spent the last couple of days with Amia and Ryoga. Since they did have school today. They spent the day at an arcade, and she had dragged them both there. But they found something they liked called Street Fighter II and Fatal Fury it was a little fun.
He stopped when he stepped into a puddle of water. He looked down and it wasn't water, but blood he stepped in. He stood in the light of the street lamp. He turned to look the way it came and fallowed the blood trail.
It leads him to a man dead nailed to a wall. Blood coming out of his mouth, licked down his wrist on both sides and coming from his feet. His eyes half opened and a symbol on his chest 'Lambia' and blood was oozing out of the symbol on the body. On the ground next to his body was a note.
Ranma picked the note up from the ground. He started to unfold the note. Before reading it.
It read:
Hello my Dear Readers:
I must say the first killing of a man is always
exaltation. The high of it and the adrenaline that you
get when you see your target cry out in agony as
you stick the nails throw the flesh. Oh! I get so
exaltation just thinking about it makes my
heart race. And they overcame him by the
blood of the Lamb, and by the word of
their testimony, and they loved no their lives
unto the death.
Sincerely,
Ille Umbra
Ranma dropped the note from his hands. He backed out of the ally and walked down the street a ways and found a telephone he dug in his pants pocket and shakily he pulled out some coins. He shakily put them in and dialed the cops.
"Hello 110, How can I Help you?"
"Y-yes, I saw a dead body."
"Where did you see the dead body?"
"I believe I passed a club called 'Club Special'. By there ally."
"But do you know the address?"
"According to the address sign it's 2-20-15 Asakusa, Taito-Ku."
"Okay, the cops will be there soon."
"All right."
"What's your name young man?"
"Um . . . Hoshi Kusanagi."
"Okay, Mr. Kusanagi wait there for the police, all right?"
"Sure."
Ranma waited for the police and told them what he knows about and saw. Gave his name and told them he moved around. They tanked him for his help and then he left.
Ranma was jumping from building to building. He was going back to where he and his father where they camped out at. He landed on the outside of the campsite and walked into it. Ranma decided to skip supper tonight and just went to bed.
Ranma and Ryoga had been fighting for the bread at lunch for the last three days. And it seemed Ranma always won in the end.
It pissed Ryoga off to no end. And to make matters worse for him. Ranma was getting closer to his girlfriend.
He saw his girlfriend setting next to Ranma on a picnic table. Ryoga ran over too, where they sat, but stopped. When he saw what, they were working on.
She was helping Ranma do his homework. Amia turned and smiled at Ryoga.
"Hello. Ryoga you need help with your homework too?" she asked.
"No, I don't need help with my homework." replied Ryoga.
"Okay let me finish helping Ranma with his homework. Then we can have some fun." stated Amia.
"I'm finish Amia. Let's go do something." said Ranma.
"Can I see it?" asked Amia.
Ranma handed it to her and she checked over his homework. She looked at Ranma then the paper again then at Ranma before replying, "Half of these are wrong."
"So, not like I need a good education to practice the art." stated Ranma.
"Still you need an education for you, but also for your living you can't make a living alone on your Martial Arts." replied Amia.
"No, I don't."
"Yes, you do. You need to start thinking about your future and what you are going to do." said Amia.
"All right give it back."
Amia handed Ranma his homework back to him and he started correcting his errors. Ryoga just watched on in silences.
Ranma left after Amia helped him with his homework. He headed back to the campsite. He saw his father cooking something to eat.
"Boy where have you been?" asked Genma.
"Why you want to know, pop?"
"Answer my question boy!" stated Genma.
"That is none of your business, pops."
"Well I'm making it my business. You should respect your father and be here practicing boy! Do you want to be a weak little girl!"
"Shut up old man." replied Ranma and walked into the tent.
Amia was wrapping two presents she got Ranma. Before Ryoga came three days ago, Ranma told her his birthday was coming up in a couple of days.
She hoped he liked the gift she got him. One of the presents she got him has an emblem on it she made herself.
She also got Ryoga two presents since his birthday was a moth after Ranma's. Also because he liked to disappear for a while so she better give it to him now.
She hoped Ryoga liked both gifts she got him. Like Ranma's she made one herself.
Seisho sat in an arm chair his face covered by the shadows of the darkness in the room. He picked up the phone and started to dial a number it soon started to ring.
"Hallo?"
"Sir, it's me."
Hallo Herr Yagami. How did it go?"
"It went well, sir."
"Gute, Gute. I hoped he screamed a lot?"
"Yes, he did scream a lot."
"What about the blood?"
"There was a lot, sir."
"Gute, well the other members of the Das Kreis von das Schwarz Dorn will be happy that everything is going to plan."
"So, sir who is the next victim in your glorious plan?"
"Oh Ja! The Fraulein name is Amia Kishimoto."
"Amia Kishimoto all right, sir. I will do it soon, sir."
"Gute, I plan to hear from you soon."
"Yes, sir."
"Well, Auf Wiedersehen."
"Good bye."
Seisho hung up the phone and walked in the shadow and pulled out the second brand from a case and hold it up.
"So she is designated as Bestia."
Ranma walked with Ryoga to the park after School. Or more correctly was guiding him to the park so he would not get lost.
"Ranma do you love Amia?"
"Why would you ask a question like that?" asked Ranma.
"I'm just curious that's why."
"You're just paranoid. You know that."
"I hope so." he muttered.
Ranma and Ryoga just continued to walk in the park. They saw Amia siting on a bench waiting for them.
When they started to approach where she sat Ranma waved to her. Ryoga smiled and waved to her.
"Hello Ranma and Ryoga."
"Hello, Amia."
"Hello, dear."
"Ranma happy birthday." replied Amia handing Ranma two presents.
Ranma opened his present and in it he found a pair of black fingerless gloves that went to the middle forearm. On the back it had a gold strip from the pinky to the thump. At the top of the glove is a gold strip going around it. And underneath was a ring of fire. It was the same on the other glove.
He opened the other present and inside was a walkman tape player with tree tapes.
"Thank you, Amia." replied Ranma
"And don't think I forgot about you Ryoga. Since I know how you like to disappear from time to time. I got you this." she replied and handed him a backpack and a wrapped present.
Ryoga opened his other present and they were gloves similar to Ranma's. The only different was instead of gold it was red strips and the symbol instead of a ring of fire he had a six pointed star.
"Thank you, dear." replied Ryoga.
Seisho watched them from a roof top across from the park. He held a pair of binoculars to his eyes to watch her.
'I saw her a couple of days ago before I killed Mr. Kakashi Akimine.' he thought. 'So, she is number two I'm going to love this.'
He still wore a black fedora. He saw the way the two guys interacted with the girl and it was obvious to him that both guys loved the same girl.
The two guys had a shaky relationship. So he figured what better way to end a rocky friendship by framing one for murder.
That was a perfect plan to him and he will love setting this plan into motion. And it would be ready by the end of the week.
Ranma was walking with Amia. They were looking for Ryoga who was just behind them. Ranma had the portable tape player she got him on his belt and the head phones around his neck.
Seisho jumped down in front of Ranma and Amia. He swiftly kicked Ranma in the stomach who went flying to the ground.
Amia turned around and was about to go check on Ranma when she was hit behind the head. She fell to the ground unconscious.
Seisho picked her up and turned and jumped up. He landed on a roof and jumped away to a secluded spot to kill her.
Ranma got up from the ground and fallowed him.
Seisho dropped her to the ground. He started to kick her in the stomach a couple of times and then in the back. She moaned and whimpered and rolled onto her back. As she laid there on her back, he grabbed her shirt and ripped it opened.
H then put his foot on her chest stepping on her breast. He then pulled out a brand and held it away from his body and it caught fire immediately. As the firs subsided, the brand was hot and he stuck it in her stomach. She screamed out and he put more pressure on her chest till she stopped breathing. He smiled to himself.
Ranma arrived after Seisho branded and killed Amia. Ranma jumped at him and was about to attack.
Seisho brought his knee up and kneed Ranma in the stomach and then kicked him in the face sending him into a tree.
Ranma hit the tree with a lot of force and weakly got up. With that Seisho jumped away. Ranma weakly walked to Amia body and he held her in his arms as he kneeled down her head fell back he brought her body close to his chest. Ranma then started to cry over her dead body.
Ryoga appeared and saw Ranma holding Amia and thought the worst.
Seisho walked into the room and to the second pillar. He pulled the brand out of a plastic bag and stuck it in the second pillar. He then turned it clockwise.
"Bestia in place." he cleared his troat "And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second best say, 'Come and see.' And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."
After Amia's death Ryoga started attacking Ranma for an unknown reason more than often. Not because of the bread, but because he blamed Ranma for Amia's death. And he challenged Ranma to a match. He wanted to kill Ranma nothing more. Ranma waited for three days for him to show up behind his house. On the fourth day Genma came to find Ranma.
"Boy what are you doing!" asked Genma.
"I'm waiting for Ryoga for a fight." Stated Ranma.
After Genma beat Ranma up and knocked me unconscious. Ranma woke up and they were already on our way to the coast of Japan. They were going to swim to China.
And as they say time passes on. So does life. Only me and Ryoga know the real reason of why we always fought each other. But I never will forget Amia and the time I spent with her and she will always be in my heart.
