Chapter 14: Where Am I Now?
A/N: Sorry there hasn't been an update in a real long time. I got caught up on some other things (Dark Summoner) and I completely forgot about God-born. I tell you, its weird when you take a trip down memory lane and find out just how much your Idea's for a story have changed. Luckily this was one of the stories that I didn't have an alternate story line for. I just got stuck.
Don't expect updates to be to frequent, I need to pick up the rhythm again.
There was a clutter of loose stones and the scraping of boots coming from the well just as the sun had begun to set on Kakariko village the same afternoon. A few minutes and a lot of cursing later chibiRanma, Link and Sheik crawled over the lip of the well, all sporting cuts and bruises and flopped to the ground with a collective sigh. Sheik looked down at the purple and red magnifying glass in his hands and shivered at the thought of what they'd gone through to get it. He'd fallen down a hole and nearly broken his neck, Ranma had been attacked by a giant hand that had crawled along the ceiling to jump him and Link had been left to get the Eye of Truth on his own so he could find them and get them out.
He still wasn't telling them how he got the bite marks.
They where all tired and wanted nothing more than to just fall asleep where they sat but Fate was a bitch and she had at least one more surprise in store for them.
"WHERE THE HELL AM I NOW?" Ranma snapped to attention and Link went for his kokiri sword as the voice bellowed out over the sound of the Cucu's that roamed the village.
"Ryoga-kun! You're still in Kakariko! Don't yell so loud!" Ranma blinked and tottered to his feet and took a good look at the village for the first time since they'd surfaced from the well. Most of the houses where still intact but there was a big hole in the ground that might have reached the place under the well if they didn't already know it was in the other direction. Link got to his feet and half dragged a limp Sheik as Ranma wondered toward the place he'd heard Ryoga and Kasumi's voices.
They passed a few people salvaging from the two houses that had been wreaked before they found Serephina, lying on the ground and looking up at the sky while she tried to get her breath back. It was almost as though she'd been running for a long time. Ranma poked her and jumped back when the redhead took a swipe at him.
"RANMA! LINK!" The two said boys got two seconds warning before a blur ran at them and knocked them to the ground, putting them in a double strangle hold that could only be likened to a hug. Ranma shook off his daze and pried Kasumi off them, allowing Link to flop to the ground in a similar way to Serephina. Kasumi instantly went down beside him saying 'Oh my'. For all her hyperness at living a second childhood there was still the ingrained memory of her personality as a grownup that was now causing her to fawn over his brother.
"Ranma?" Ranma looked up at the sound of someone else saying his name and turned to find a fifth child standing there with a gigantic backpack and a yellow and black tiger striped bandana tied around his head.
"Wha…? What are you doing here?" Ranma asked as the fanged boy struggled with his umbrella and fell over under the weight. It was to big and much to heavy for him now that he'd regressed into a child. Ryoga looked sheepish and mumbled something under his breath.
"What was that?" Ranma asked, not catching it. Ryoga looked away but spoke a little louder nonetheless.
"I got lost." Ranma just stared at him for a long time before he remembered the eternally lost boy's curse and burst out laughing. Ryoga looked at him as though he was going to start crying when the giggles finally subsided.
"It wasn't the same!" He all but whined. "You where gone and no one was doing anything anymore and Akane was just so annoying…" Ryoga grumbled out a in a rant, not even looking to see the surprised look on Ranma's face. "It was boring, no fights, no fun, nobody was working and my dad was killed when a plane crashed on the place he was camping and I didn't even find out for two months and I wished I could go where ever you went so then this FAIRY appears and says I can go to this place named Hyrule and turned me into a kid only to leave me in the middle of a WARZONE!" He'd been building up for sometime and the sickly coloured Aura of the Shi Shi Hokodan had blossomed into life around him, making Ranma back away nervously.
"Hey, calm down Ryoga." He tried to placate the depressed seventeen year old in a ten year olds body. Ryoga looked as though he was ready to let off a perfect Shi Shi Hokodan when he was interrupted by a sudden crack of thunder and it began to rain. Somewhere behind him Serephina got an icy shock back to the living world and let off a loud stream of expletives as she got up and dragged the others for cover. Ranma heard a soft squeal over the pitter-patter of the rain and looked down to see a familiar piglet looking up at him with wide, nearly pathetic eyes. Ranma sighed and scooped it up off the ground before grabbing a hold of the abandoned pack and dragging it off in the direction Serephina had gone.
"Some things never change, ne?" He said in exasperation as Ryoga the piglet sniffled.
Well how was that? I know I skipped a big part of the story and no I haven't forgotten about the ghosts and the other creepy crawlies. That's what flashbacks are for! So you'll get all that stuff in the next chapter…if I ever get around to it. I just thought I'd add Ryoga into the story now. Remember in the interlude how no one had seen him for months? (I was thinking about a pairing for Ranma. Ranko or Ryoga? You guys tell me.)
Anywho, don't forget to review! (hey that rhymed)
