Tales of a Journey (Private!)

"I wanted Riri to like me more in some way. Apparently, this is not what I had in mind," Zero growled slapping away Ranma's hand while Xenlo dropped him into Riri's open hands, "He'll probably chance back in a matter of minutes, but that's because I fast-forwarded the drug in his body."

"Zero... YOU'RE SOO KAWAII!!!" Riri squealed as she hugged Zero tightly that he could of shot a nose bleed as his face was squished against her breasts.

"Well, looks like Riri has a split feelings for her brother, depending on the situation." Lizabeth said while Ares and Scarlett stopped fighting to see what the commotion was all about. "This is probably wrong on some levels, could this get any worse?" Scarlett asked while Zero pulled her head up and looked up at Riri in an innocently way, "Will wu have sex wif me Riri?"

"Survey says it just got worse." Audri said while Xenlo ducked his head behind her trying to keep himself from laughing.

 

"Yes, it's Zero, and I think we should all walk away from the situation right now.." Audri said as she got up to her feet before Scarlett tapped Riri's shoulder trying to get her to move, "And besides, not like Riri is completely "in love" by Zero's new appearance that it will affect her jud-"

"Of course I will, you snuggling brother of mine!" Riri squeaked as she rubbed cheeks with her brother making his blush madly before grinning, "Really? Great let's-"

POOF!

"-go!" Zero said as he was in Riri's arms, changed back to his normal self. "Umm, I think we should back away now," Scarlett said jumping a few feet back as did Lizabeth who was accompanied by the snickering Noah. "Huh? What are you guys looking a- I changed back didn't I?" Zero asked before he was shot upwards from an uppercut from below, sending him flying off.

Riri stood there with a dark blush spread over her cheeks and an irritated look on her face, "Stupid brother shouldn't go trying to molest his sister like that..." Audri just looked at the fox before sweatdropping as she tried to make a point, "but weren't you the one completely-" "That's not the point!"

 

"We should get going then, shall we?" Audri said as she grabbed hold of Kinta's hand before walking for the other area. "Hey, wait for us at the least!" Scarlett whined chasing after then.

"I guess we should follow them," Ares sighed as he and the other Townies walked off as well.

"I figured that much, though not like I'm going to sleep with the creep anytime soon. He knows that for sure, but he'll probably figure someway to get me into bed with him," Riri said as she tried to hug her shoulders in a comforting way, slightly traumatized that she hugged Zero and agreed to have sex with him, "I think I'm going to burn his hair off for this."

"Why don't you?" Xenlo asked while Lizabeth was hoisted onto his shoulders. "Because he's my brother, and there's probably some law about endangered... species in some way." Riri said scratching the back of her head, not sure if there was such a thing. She looked up to see Zero was falling in their direction and just laughed, "That was a nice hit!"

 

Riri just glared at Ranma before shaking her head, "Man, and I thought those puns I said back in Space Paranoids were bad!" Lizabeth just sweatdropped before Zero came crashing down and was unconscious in the fox-made crater in the ground.

"Guess this means we'll be dragging him back," Xenlo said as Riri went over to her brother and kicked his body to make sure he was out cold, "Meaning that unless I give something juicy to Ranma to soak his mind on, I'm pretty much doing this on my own?"

"You got it fox! Now let's hurry before Kinta's match starts!" Lizabeth said as she whacked Xenlo on the head making his way to the next direction. Riri just yanked Zero up and tried to sling his arm over her shoulder, but the weight was too much for the girl that she collasped the ground with her brother on top, "Eff my life."

"Who knows Kinta. Maybe you'll get a lucky break of some sort! Though I do wonder how Grandpa was able to get these type of fighters anyways," Audri said as she followed not far behind her boyfriend.

"Seriously? Ugh, I guess so. Hey Melony, wanna fork over some munny at the least?" Ares said as he turned his head to the short girl. She just shook her head and stuck her tongue out, "Be a big brother and go get it for him yourself!" "Why you little-"
"I'm willing to fork over munny if you get me some too," Scarlett said as she rummaged through her pockets and pulled out a small sack.

 

"Shut it Ranma. It's bad enough that you're being more of an ass than usual," Riri growled as she got ahold of her brother and dragged him behind her as they headed for the next area.

"Come on, let's go get some then!" Scarlett said as she dragged Dimitri off to get popcorn for the group.

"Eh? Oh, right! Well, don't think you're getting more luck like that last round Kinta." Audri said as she got on her tip toes and kissed him on the cheek, "You'll be fine and win for sure, I believe you'll make it."

"Munny? Where?!" Xenlo popped up where the moogles where while he looked at them confused. "These two nincompoops made a bet about us getting through the tournament, and now one of them is trying to call off their bet." Lizabeth explained as she sat on the Noah's shoulders.
"A bet huh? Hm, I got an idea! How about I pay for the bet's reward? Or better yet, I can pay twice the amount of the bet was set at!" Xenlo said in a cheerful manner. "Are you serious?! Besides, what if you can't pay the amount?" Lizabeth said surprised by the man's outburst as he looked back at her confused, "How much could a bet be?"

 

Riri just glared at Ranma before she heard the announcement overhead.
"Watch yourself Kinta and beat that girl down!" Riri shouted in a nervous tone, not sure if Kinta was going to go down as easily like Ranma did.

"Ten Mil? That isn't that bad... Sure, I can pay that off double!" Xenlo said as he opened up a small portal and put his hand through it. Before he did anything else, he looked at the moogle, "So would you want your munny now or later?"
"Are you seriously giving the moogle 20 MILLION for this bet Xenlo?!" Lizabeth squawked while Xenlo just glanced up at her with an irritated look on his face, "What are you, my bloody mother you half-blood heartless?"

"Wow, I must of pulled some heartstrings..." Lizabeth snickered just before Xenlo threw her off of his shoulders and kept rummaging his hand in the small portal.

Audri just stood there blushing before she thought something was behind her. She turned her head to see that no one there but... just something felt different in the air. She shook the thought from her head as she went back to cheering.

 

Xenlo sweatdropped helping the moogles up before handing Monty a large sack filled with the promised munny inside.
Lizabeth waved to Vivi smiling faintly, "Hey kiddo. What brings you here Mithra?"

Riri just looked over in the said direction and shrugged, "How the hell should I know? Think she was here like how Yani was in the tournament?"
"Wha' cha guys talking about?" Scarlett said walking over to them carrying a couple bags of popcorn in her arms. Riri just looked at the redhead before snatching a bag of popcorn from her, "You wouldn't happen to know why Vivi's here, would ya?"

Scarlett just looked at the fox girl before looking down next to her feet, "No, but why is your brother on the ground? Is he dead and you're just dragging the body around with you?"

 

"That might seem like the case, but she did seem to be a bit destructive much, wouldn't you say?" Xenlo said a little stunned by the girl's aggressive manner.
"You get used to that after some time. I mean seriously, when you hanging around the bozos that Audri goes around with, you usually will meet crackheads like that," Lizabeth said as she pulled the moogles onto her back and took hold of Monty's winning bets from Xenlo.

"I can believe that," Scarlett said as she handed Ranma a bag of popcorn of his own. "Besides, I wonder where that crazed rabbit went anyways?" Riri asked as she snatched some popcorn back from Ranma's bag.

Scarlett just shrugged just before Audri came over to them tackling the redhead for popcorn, "Foooodd!" Scarlett managed to juggle the other bags of popcorn before shouting, "Off me blonde!"

"No way Scar- Why's Zero on the floor?" Audri asked as she was more distracted than a cat chasing a red light. "Because he's a moron," Riri said as she pulled Audri off of the redhead from dropping any popcorn. Audri just shook her head before she looked back at the match seeing Kinta almost get blasted by the energy blast.
"Careful Kinta!" She shouted trying to be supportive.

 

"Explosions? Where?!" Lizabeth said in a cheerful manner before Xenlo shook his head, irritated with the heartless girl as he dragged them towards the arena, "This is probably not going to be pretty sight in the end..."

"No kidding Ranny," Riri muttered while Scarlett tossed a few bags of popcorn to Ares and Melony nearby. "Kinta!" Audri screamed a little in shock just as Kinta passed out. She was about to bolt right into the arena before something was wrapped around her legs. "You better not make a run for it now, you'll probably just bounce off the barrier!" A barely conscious Zero said as he had dirt and rocks in his hair.

"Stupid fox, let go!" Audri whined trying to break her legs free from the fox's grasp while Riri bonked her on the top of her head with her free hand, "Just wait you nimrod until they call the match to a close, and then you can go tend to Kinta afterwords!"

 

Xenlo just waved his hands up in defense as he spoke, "Now hold on there Malisa! I didn't promise anything of the kind about strong fighters! I just said that there will be fighting, but I didn't say that this tournament was going to have powerful competitors! Besides, you chose you competition on your own for that part, sweet heart!"

"How about a compromise of some sort you two can figure out?" Lizabeth said trying to break in before someone starts a fight. "How so snake? Didn't you lose to the wimpy girl the second round?" Xenlo asked with a snicker slipping out in his tone.
"I got shot by a tranquilizer out of nowhere, you self-absorbed prick," Lizabeth just glared at him before turning her attention to Malisa, "If you're not happy with your tournament results, how about a free-for-all brawl? You could choose any amount of opponents that are on this world, knocking them out one by one, hopefully find someone worthwhile your time, and be satisfied that way!"

"Something tells me that Grandpa is probably going to do something stupid, wether it involves him flirting, or knocking someone out of existence." Audri said as Zero let go of her and got to his feet, "Don't you mean knock out cold?"

"I wish I meant that..." Audri said glanced at them before she dashed over to Kinta's side. "I'm a bit confused, but I'm a bit too terrified to want to know what she meant by that," Scarlett said before Riri whacked her on the back of the head, "Don't be a baby!"
