Bound to Stay by Kalissa

 

Chapter 1

 

It was an unusual day in Nerima. That is unusual for this specific district of Tokyo; to the rest of the world it would have seemed rather normal. However, anybody who lived in Nerima long enough new that this calm and quiet can be only before the storm. What made things worse was the fact that it have been this calm for quite some time now, a week to be exact. There wasn't almost any fights, the famous NWC haven't demolished any buildings while fighting new challengers or among themselves as had become a custom now, no demons trying to destroy the world, no kidnappings of any sort, nothing. And of course everybody has noticed the absence of the pig-tailed teen flying across Nerima via Akane airlines.

 

#Furinkan High School#

 

The bell for lunch just rang and school courtyard started to fill with teenagers. Among the different groups, three girls can be seen sitting under a tree engaged in a conversation.

“So, has he come back yet?” Asked one of the girls.

“No. That baka. I just can't believe he left like that! I just know he's being perverted with one of his hussies!” Angrily replied a blue haired girl, her once cute face gone replaced with a scowl.

“Indeed, to take of like that! Not even saying good-bye. Awful!” Replied the third.

 

“You know Akane,” continued first “I don't understand why he needed that training trip at all.”

“What are you talking about Sayuri? It's Ranma for god's sake, Martial Arts is all he cares about!” Exclaimed third.

“I can't disagree with you there Yuka. Fighting is the only thing that Ranma is good at.” Sayuri hurried to agree with her friend. “

But aren't you even a slightest bit worried about your fiancé Akane?”

 

“Why should I worry? He can die for all I care!”

At that moment, the explosion above the school startled the students.

A portal in the sky closed with a sickening /bang/ leaving a slightly disorientated demon in its wake. A being of this kind you expect to see in a video game maybe on TV but definitely not standing in the middle of a school courtyard. The demon was tall, more then two meters so, with enormous muscles and body covered in red skin. A horned head with its huge mouth full of deadly looking fangs, terrible scars all over his body and a pair of dirty-brown pants with a crude belt decorated with spikes completed the image of every person's nightmare. Overall /it/ presented a site not for the easily disturbed people. Even students of Furican were scared shitless and that's saying a lot by itself.

 

Demon regained his senses and looked around. Seeing horrified teens, he roared and swiped his massive claws instantly killing those unfortunate enough to be standing within his reach making all the others freeze in horror. Then he stopped his attack as suddenly as he started it. He turned his head in all directions as if trying to sense something only to see a lightning bolt heading his way. Jumping back, he merely avoided the attack with bolt missing him by mere centimeters. He then tried to back away and out of the school only to dodge another attempt to fry him.

“Oh no, you don't shithead.” Said a cold male voice, its owner was seen moments later landing on the school's roof “You've had your fun making me chase you around now I'll have mine ripping your head off.”

 

A furious growl was the only reply he got. The mysterious man just chuckled and flexed his hand causing another lightning bolt to appear in it.

“Show Time!”

 

With those words he sent a new formed lightning towards the demon below. The creature was moving faster than anybody expected and managed to dodge to the left where it was met by another bolt followed closely by the next one. They continued with this deadly dance for a good ten minutes, when it became obvious that they can keep it up and not reach any results the man hoped down from the roof saying in that cold voice of his void of any emotions

“Let's finish this I have more important things to do then spend my whole day playing around with you.”

This time though he received a reply, which came as a great shock for the onlookers.

“If my spirit will be doomed to stay in this forsaken hole of a word for three decades gods are my witnesses I'll make sure you'll keep me company!”

 

That said the real fight began. Demon was using his claws while the man created two vacuum blades and was using them as his swords. Claws met blades, power was answered with power, raw strength with raw strength. Amazing acrobatic fits were done as if they were the easiest of things. Killer blows were dismissed as a mere itch.

 

As fight went on students were gathering around in hopes to see the amazing site. In two years that Saotome Ranma spent in Nerima student body saw a great deal of fights but never have they seen anything that could be compared to this one.

 

Tendo Nabiki was quick to come out of her shock and was already gathering bets on the fight as well as on the matter of who the mysterious man might be. When he and that demon talked, he stayed in the shadows and now they were but blurs even to her trained eye so there was a lot of space for speculations. Which suited her just fine, the more guesses fail the more money she'll have out of the whole ordeal. Ideas on his personality varied greatly. Some said him to be some kind of prince, others claimed him to be a demon himself, couple of idiots even suggested that that was Ranma, saving the day as he always does. Nabiki had a good laugh at that idea, she new Ranma was powerful but even he couldn't throw lightning around the place like this man had done before, besides his fighting style was nothing like Ranma's. Pig-tailed martial artist always dodged his opponents' strikes, never met them head on, and that's exactly what was going on now.

 

Nabiki's thoughts were interrupted by the terrible screech of pain. She looked up just at the time to see as the fighter managed to get into demons defenses and drive one of his blades right through the creature's heart. Everyone in the crowd became silent as shock from witnessing a kill settled in. In the eerie silence demons last words were like a thunder.

 

“Shastem autori quotell by the power of Rakshase you will stay in this world as long as my soul does Etaeru cuot with the power of gods I bind you Dragon.”

With his last will said his body went limp as death claimed him. In the same silence they watched as the man came up to the body holding a dragger. With words “The contract has been fulfilled.” with one mighty swipe, he drove the dragger into the body, which then dissolved into a thin air leaving only the ornamented peace of weaponry behind.

 

The last action earned a startled gasp from the audience, which in turn caused the man to look up and finally reveal his face…
