Ryoga was in Japan, or was it China? He couldn't recognize the language. It sounded vaguely Chinese, but usually, not this many people spoke Chinese in Japan. Come to think of it, the people looked more Chinese than Japanese. Ryoga moaned and lowered his head, he gave it a shake. The reason why that was because he was in China, how he got there he didn't know but he only had a week to find Akane the perfect birthday present and find his way back to Nerima.
"Damn it Ryoga, how the hell did you get to China? " he cried annoyed at himself. "Great and now I'm thirsty and don't even know how to ask anyone for something to drink," he raged, getting strange looks from the people on the street as they went about their businesses, positive that Ryoga was insane for yelling at no one. He sighed and pulled out his empty water bottle when someone handed a bottle of Evian to him. "Water?" an accented voice said in flawless Japanese. Ryoga gratefully took the bottle from the slim hand that offered it to him and gulped it down.
"Thank you," he said in the Chinese equivalent of English.
The girl said, "I do speak Japanese!" she said with a laugh. He studied the girl in front of him that stood behind a stand. She was tall and pale for an Asian girl and had bright blue hair with dark purple eyes, there was something about the lines of her body that echoed the almost Caucasian look of Shampoo and Mousse of the Amazons, and the hair gave it away. She was pretty and he placed her around the same age as him.
"Are you an Amazon?" he asked.
Her eyes registered surprise, "How did you know that? I am from generations way back! Not a lot of people recognize that on sight..."
"I know a couple of them, one of those girls happens to have purple hair," Ryoga explained.
"Are they in Japan? Weird, few ever leave the village. Do you know what they're doing there?" she asked.
"It's a long story..." Ryoga said.
"Isn't it nice that you're totally lost and it's a slow day for me?" she said settling onto a stool.
"So what's your name? Is it Shampoo, Mousse, or something like that?" Ryoga asked before he began his story.
"It's Amy Wong, do I look like a bathroom cabinet to you?" she asked.
Ryoga told her about the quest for vengeance he had with Ranma, about his various fiancées, and the general chaos that surrounded him.
"It sounds like this Ranma is the luckiest or unluckiest guy on the planet, depending on which way you look at it..." Amy observed.
"How so, he's the best martial artist around, he has women crawling out of his ass and he's the most popular guy around. If they made a TV show out of him, it'd probably be a hit..." Ryoga explained with an irked face.
"He has people chasing him around all the time and never has room to breathe. It sounds like he lives in a video game," Amy said sounding a little sad to hear so.
"What does it matter? He has my girl Akane and treats her badly all the time..." Ryoga cried, lowering his head.
"Are you sure it isn't Ranma that you have a crush on? It seems like you're the one always following him." She pointed out.
"Ryoga Hibiki is not gay! I hate everything about that guy!" Ryoga cried. "Now excuse me while I have to find a present for Akane!" he said and started to walk away.
"Does she like rubies?" Amy asked and pulled out a necklace with a pendant of a huge ruby with two beautifully carved dragons entwined around it.
Ryoga's eyes grew wide at how beautiful it was. "That can't possibly be real!" he cried.
She shrugged, "Of course it is, it's been in my family for generations. It comes with an appraisal certificate!" she said.
"Why would you want to sell it then?" he asked.
"It's supposed to have some sort of curse, it forces you to love or hate someone, something like that... no biggie really..." she said with a shrug.
Ryoga failed to look impressed "It's funny that everything from China seems to come with a curse? Does it work kind of like the reverse jewel?" he asked.
"You know about that?" she asked impressed by his knowledge.
"Weird things happen when the Amazons are around," Ryoga answered flatly.
"Ain't that the truth!" she agreed. "Are you interested? I was told by my father not to display it, just sell it to the first worthy person I find, and this Ranma and yourself sound ideal!" Amy asked.
Ryoga thought about it, "I only have five thousand yen," he said cautiously.
"Sold!" she said and wrapped it up carefully. "Make sure you give this to Ranma!" she said.
"Don't you mean, Akane?" Ryoga asked confused.
"Sorry I must have mixed up the names," she apologized with a nervous bowing of her head. "I hope she has a lovely birthday!" she said with a happy smile.
"Thank you so much, Amy, you've made my day!" Ryoga cried and departed happily, a skip in his step.
"Not as much as you've made mine," she replied and watched until the yellow-shirted boy faded into the distance. She was joined by a middle-aged couple.
"So it's gone my daughter and shall never plague this family again?" her father asked.
"It's going all the way to Japan and shall no longer disturb our family," she said with a smile.
"Great, I can leave your father now!" declared her mother and did so.
As things seemingly went well for Ryoga, he couldn't help but wonder where he would end up next. He only hoped that he would get Akane her gift on time. Luckily he had given himself at least a month's time in preparation and wandered onto a cargo ship when it was about to depart. Therefore The lost boy managed to get a free trip back to Japan. Of course, that meant he had headed off to the Nermia. Ryoga had spent the entire trip trying to figure out why there were so many boxes.
He got back to Japan and from there he continued heading to any place he could try and remember, but when he had made it to more cities in Japan, he started to notice that everything was written in Japanese; obviously a good sign.
"Maybe this will be quicker than I thought," he smirked.
One month later
Once again, Ryoga found himself cursing his luck. He had intended on getting there way earlier than this, but he was sure he was in the Nermia district, that much he could tell. The yellow-clad martial had gone by the park; that much he could tell.
Ryoga kept the necklace that Amy sold him tightly clenched in his hand, as if he was afraid to lose it, "Where are you Akane...?" he whispered, becoming anxious. He knew that her birthday was arriving and it'd only be a few days until then.
Little did he know that he was actually standing outside of the Tendo's home.
Ryoga probably wouldn't have noticed if Kasumi hadn't spotted him before he could get even further, "Ryoga... what're you doing here?" she asked.
"Huh...?" Ryoga asked, confused. "What're you doing here, Kasumi?" blinking a few times he realized something. They're looking up and from behind Kasumi was her home.
"Well, I live here... but I have some things to get to at the market, would you mind staying here and waiting for the others? It'd be nice to have you over for dinner, it has been a while since we've seen you after all." the eldest Tendo sister offered.
"Oh... um... sure, b-but could you tell me where Akane is...?" he asked, blushing at the thought of being able to give Akane his gift.
"She'll be home soon, please come inside," she said, ushering him in. "Akane is with her friends at the moment but I'm sure she'd be delighted to see you visiting."
"O-okay... thank you, Kasumi." Ryoga bowed, then walked over to her and walked past the door.
The brown light brown-haired sister stepped to the side, giving him entrance to their home. This wouldn't be the first he had been invited in, why would it be any different? When he had entered he hadn't spotted anyone, so, he decided he'd wait out on the porch.
That's when Ranma jumped over the fence to the Tendo's backyard, landing in a kneeling position. "Ryoga...?" he asked, raising a brow. "What're you doing here, huh!" he shouted, raising his hands and taking a battle stance.
"I'm not here to fight you, ya' jerk... I'm here to give this to Akane." he stated, holding up the necklace by the chain. The dragon carvings only glimmered, merely complimenting the beautiful ruby centerpiece. Not that Ranma was even one to even care about those things.
"Wha'cha get her this time, huh...? Knowing you, it's something stupid no doubt." Ranma stated, walking over to the lost boy and inspecting the pendant in his hands. "Yeah, it's gotta be fake... no way you can get something that good, P-chan."
Ryoga had been suppressing the need to attack Ranma, but with Ranma's last comment, he snapped, "How dare you call something for Akane stupid!" Ryoga shouted, reaching his out to his backpack and pulling out his umbrella, slapping the gender-changing martial artist back into the nearest koi pond.
"AH!" Ranma screamed, not expecting him to overreact like he had.
Ryoga huffed, swinging his umbrella to lay it on his shoulder, "Serves you right..." Ryoga commented, waiting for her to emerge from the pond.
Ranma shot up from the koi pond and sat up, "Geez, you didn't have to do that ya' know!"
"Why don't you come and do something about it...?" Ryoga taunted, moving his umbrella out in front of him like a sword.
The red-headed girl growled before she rose up from the pond, stomping her way over there she tried to size up Ryoga, a stare down of sorts.
The stare was returned, Ryoga wasn't about to let that arrogant jerk get away with insulting his gift for the girl he treasured, "What are you waiting for...?" he asked, narrowing his eyes.
Ranma was about to reply, though for some reason couldn't find the strength to say anything she really wanted, it seemed as though her mind was on pause. Shaking her head a bit, she felt as though something was affecting her. 'Gotta teach pig breath some manners!' she thought, straightening out her thoughts.
Ranma had returned to staring at him, for some reason she wasn't able to hold it. Her serious expression slowly became a suggestive smile, almost cat-like in fashion. "Mmm... you're looking good, Ryoga." she purred, leaning over to him and pushing his umbrella to the side.
"R-Ranma...!" Ryoga choked, leaning his back in.
Ranma only did as she felt she should, she pressed her chest up onto him, her ample breasts rubbing up against him. She placed her hands on the sides of his collarbone, making them snake around his shoulders. "Don't fight it... you know you want this..." the red-headed cooed.
Ryoga's mind wasn't able to process this, in fact, it didn't want to. He felt as though some force was driving him closer as if he wasn't in control of his own body... 'What the hell is going on...!' Ryoga thought, practically shouting in his own head.
The same thing could be said for Ranma, she felt her mind slipping, and right now she was being driven by female needs and urges, which made no sense to her because she was actually a guy. Now that had gone too far, Ranma was already inches away from sealing the deal with Ryoga's lips.
Neither of the two saw that the amulet was flashing a bright red color each second.
Neither Ranma nor Ryoga was able to resist the amulet's power any longer, so, they placed their lips on each other. The lost boy placed his hands on her hips and brought them over to his, the feeling of her warm soft, not to mention firm body against his was almost too much for him to handle.
The amulet in his hand glowed a bright white color before splitting into two and flying over to Ranma's and Ryoga's wrists but it wasn't as if Ranma and Ryoga cared; they had better things to do.
"Guys I'm home!" Akane greeted, going to the back porch in order to greet anyone who was there.
Akane stopped short, her voice caught in her throat as she saw the scene in front of her unfold.
"R-Ranma...?"
DaisukiFox: *covers face with a big blush on face* I admit that I'm not always proud of what I come up with but up on some level I still like this story. I will be posting these as I give them a polishing. I decided to achieve this since I feel like I owe it to the readers. You never know if inactive accounts or something gets taken down or ones with simply no access like the Daisidian account so they decide to remove it or something.
Take care and hope some of you find this entertaining. Facer and I have considered maybe making a lemon for Lost Together's Ranma and Ryoga but maybe have to do a time jump of at least 2 years, although we have only considered it. We already pushed the T rating way high on that one.
Anyways, see you guys in the next chapters, I may just put disclaimers past this chapter since I don't think I have much else to say at the current moment. Thank all of you, whether readers, favoriters, alerters we love your feedback and hearing your thoughts, theories, corrections, hell, even flames now! lolz
