Twister of Fate - 5: Midday
Author:
This is part 5 of Twister of Fate. I dont own Ranma ½.
Akane looked at
the tent as she woke up. Ranma was asleep his arms wrapped around her head
resting on the curve of his neck. He was murmuring in his sleep, she smiled as
she ran her finger lightly against his check. Her hand froze as his face changed
in to Aries. Its the sad truth of the curse Akane.
Akane sat up and
looked at Aries they where in the dojo. He was lying on the floor looking at
her. His left eye green his right eye blue staring intently at her.
What?
She asked wide-eyed as he smiled, his hair in a ponytail. Mousse
knows the truth, he was there. She looked at him now with narrowed eyes. What
truth! What is going on!
Aries rolled on his side looking at her. In
the end it doesnt even matter you know. Pride fuels but love does. He smiled
at her. If I offered him the cure in exchange for you hed take it. She
glared at him as he continued. I mean after all to be whole again, hed come
after me and challenge me to a fight to get you back,but..well..
Akane
drew her hand back and slapped him hard in the face. He just began to laugh.
============================================
Akane opened her eyes Ranma
was holding her close to him staring at her and smiling.
Hey, I was
wondering when youd wake up. He asked running his hand across her shoulders.
She smiled and tilted her head slightly. Looking in to his blue eyes he wondered
if what Aries said was true would he give her to him so he could get the cure.
Only the cure was a dagger to the heart or maybe not. She frowned, what was
going on.
Ranma noticed the change in her behavior and smiled sadly.
Pressing her body to his he began to kiss her forehead. Moving his hands up and
down her back. Last night he just held her to him no intimacy just holding her.
Now looking at her confused and cloudy face he knew they both needed
it.
Leaning in he began to kiss her lips softly, focusing on her lower
lip as he began to bite her gently. She wrapped her arms around his neck and
began to kiss back. Moving her mouth slightly to focus her attention to his
upper lip. She ran her tongue along his lip before biting him gently. Opening
her eyes she looked at his face. The closed eyes and slightly blushing cheeks.
She ran on hand over the base of his neck. Feeling him stiffen at her touch. She
looked at him as he let her go. She smiled as he placed her under him. She ran
her fingers across his face, his lips, and his neck. She pinched his nipple and
smiled as he winced. He kissed her shoulder blade and smirked as he began to
kiss her neck. Bringing one leg up she looked at the roof of the tent. I love
you, oh god I love you. She heard him whisper as he pulled her closer to him
still kissing her neck. She moaned and watched as the shadows above the tent
changed. Her eyes became unfocused as she watched the tent shadow become darker.
Ranma nuzzled his cheek against her collarbone, she was here again, and not some
fantasy nor dream. Smiling he put his fingers with hers. Holding her hand he
looked at her closed eyes and smiling lips, he kissed her chin and
smiled.
She opened her eyes and brought her other leg up trapping him
there. He shifted his body and moved in slowly, growling low in his throat as he
began his entry. He could feel her tighten around him, opening for him. He moved
his hips back and kissed her forehead as he pushed all the way in, she
whimpered. He looked at her and just began to move in her, he kept holding her
hands as he moved. His eyes locked with hers, watching her. Trying to memorize
her every detail. He felt her move with him her eyes closed and mouth slightly
open. He moved slowly in her before picking up speed. Watching her arch her body
against him and moan. She ran her fingers along his back.
Did you get
those scars by training? Hadnt she asked him that? He never answered her
question. Aries had changed the subject and then.... Her eyes widened and she
looked at the dark tent. Did he really change the subject or was that the
answer.
Ranma looked at her as he felt her tense. Akane? he asked
unable to focus his thoughts she had moved and the heat tightened he began to
move in deeper harder. Akane wrapped her legs around his hips and
arched.
Ask Mousse he was there. There for what? Grinding her hips
against him she began to notice the whole tent becoming black.
Mousse was
standing by the tent he saw the shadow and frowned. Come on out. He hissed as
he stared at the shadow.
Akane remained calm moving towards the light.
There was another second that passed except here it seemed like eternity. She
frowned as she moved to the second stone; there was something really wrong.
Ranma looked at her and frowned as she moved away from him. I promised to stop
it from happening didnt I?
She nodded and covered her chest with a
book. Her mouth moved but no sound came out. The past will be saved for us but
first I must remove you to safety. But I cant let go. Akane moved over to him
and dropped the book holding him tightly to her. On her back was a whole about 3
inches wide and 1 inch thick. The hole showed Ranmas shirt.
Mousse held
his head and fell backwards on the floor. He noticed the man smiling at him.
Stay out of my way Mousse you know what is happening.
Shampoo looked at
her great grandmother as she moved to stand by the dojo. Holding a spear in her
hand. If only way to cure husband I do. Cologne smiled and nodded. It was time
for the cure to begin the only true cure to be whole again. Shampoo does your
neck still hurt? Shampoo shook her head on her neck was a thin line like knife
wound to her jugular.
Ryoga looked at Ukyo as the wind began to pick up.
Seems like a storm of some kind is moving in. Ukyo nodded and began to help
pitch the tent up. Well remain here for a little while just until the storms
goes. Ukyo nodded as Ryoga began to help her. Its safer if we both remain in
the same tent. Ryoga nodded at he reasoning.
Aries stood in the shadow
and smiled. Come here Mousse. Mousse moved over to him sadness in his eyes.
You know what I want you to do, cloud his mind like you did Souns and bring
Akane here.
I cant do that what will Ranma think?
Just make
him believe that I have her that he never got her back. Take him back to the
dojo. The cure is waiting for him.
Once he has it I can release his
mind and tell him the truth?
No change it so he believes shes camping
with some friends.
Mousse nodded guilt eating away at him but he had
seen what would happen, the outcome. So he made a deal with the devil himself to
stop it.
Im not he devil. Aries whispered and disappeared to await the
change.
Akane looked at sleeping Ranma and looked as Mousse opened the
tent flap. Akane we need to talk. Was all Mousse said as she nodded and got
out of the tent. Ranma rolled over to her side and let a meow of sorts. Mousse
whats happening?
Mousse hit her over the head with his hand. Lifting
her up he carried her to the trees. Ranma remained asleep dreaming of the events
and the happiness of her warmth.
Aries took Akane from Mousse and smiled.
Now hurry before it gets too late.
It already is to
late.
Ranma stood there in just his pants and shoes. How dare you turn
on me Mousse!
Akane looked at the glass timer the sand running through
it as if in slow motion.
Opening the book she sighed and began to read
from the highlighted passage.
AS I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP I PRAY THE LORD
MY SOUL TO KEEP
Mousse looked at him and silence. its not what you
think.
Ranma looked at Aries his battle aura growing to almost covering
them all. How dare you touch her! HOW DARE YOU TOUCH WHAT IS MINE!
FOR
IF I DIE BEFORE I WAKE I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE
