Tales of a Journey (Private!)

"Hey, how about we go get some food Ranma? I've been pretty hungry for a while now but didn't want to say anything," Rauxdi said a little embarrassed as Audri shrugged, "Well, we might as well just go get something to eat at the restaurant now if we're all hungry."

A knock was at the door as Xenlo looked into the room smiling. "Oh Ranma, glad to see that you're awake!" The man said with a faint smile as Andre looked over at Audri, "Think we should go get Riri and let her know that we're going to go eat?"

"Ah, don't worry about Riri Andre. I just peeked into the hotel room to see if Ranma was awake yet, but it seems that she was all tired out," Xenlo said as Audri raised her eyebrow at the man, "Did you-" "I did not check what color her lacy panties were!" Xenlo snapped at the blonde girl as a blush crossed over his face.

 

"I... I really don't know. You saw how Riri snapped earlier when we told her that his memories might not come back," Xenlo said as he stepped into the room as Andre scratched the back of his head, "So, did you ever find anything if Altessa is still out and about, alive somewhere?"

"If she is, she's barely alive, I should know after seeing the condition her soul was after Audri dealt with her after the whole Lizabeth-Audri-mind thing." Xenlo said as Audri just smiled nervously as she walked out following Ranma out, knowing that he's probably hungry.

"What do you expect us to do about Riri if she goes loco like she did again?" Rauxdi asked as Xenlo scratched the back of her head, "Hope that Ranma isn't around so she doesn't make it worse. With Ranma like this, I would probably figure that Riri is going to try being flirty with him. But since he'll make fun of her instead, it's going to be very hard for her to not breakdown in tears," Xenlo said as he opened a portal up to his side,"I should get going, but keep an eye out for Ranma. If his memory makes the slightest improvement, please let me know."

"Sure thing, although on question Xenlo. What did Audri do to Altessa's soul after we all left her mind those few weeks back?" Andre asked curiously as Xenlo looked at him with a solemn look on his face, "Audri, well... she..." "I'll tell them later Xenlo," Rauxdi said as the Noah's smile appeared on his face as he left.

 

OOC: Seriously? Ok, ummm... he ends up falling in love with one of the other characters??

"Sure, we'll see you later Monty!" Rauxdi said waving Monty as he left as Andre shrugged, "Well, we can always tell him the truth and hope that he takes it well." A silence was followed as Rauxdi and Andre started cracking up hysterically.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think that would even happen. Although you're probably right Kinta, we can probably tell him that Riri is a stalker now since she has this weird fetishes for bondage and all the other weird stuff that Ranma blackmails her about," Rauxdi said pulling Andre to his feet as she smile back at Kinta, "Besides, Monty is right too, Ranma is as thick as a brick wall when it comes to the obvious. Although, I do feel really bad for Riri. She finds love with an idiot and she has to go about knowing nothing of her feelings while Ranma has a semi-perminant amnesia!"

 

OOC: Wow... you are one nut. Clever, but a nut.

"I guess so, which I think is a good thing," Andre said as he followed the white man out the door as Rauxdi closed the door and tagged behind him snickering, "You just don't want Kinny and Audri doing anything while we're around, right Andre~?"

"S-shut up Rauxdi! And I said t-that I don't care if they date or not!" Andre snapped with a tint of pink flooding his face as he ducked her head down as Rauxdi grabbed his hand and smiled, "Come on Andre. You don't have to be embarrassed for being a protective brother for Audri, like a total cockblock!" Andre looked at her as his face was red a tomato now, "You should r-really know when to not talk R-rauxdi."

"Aww, are you turning red because we're talking like this in front of Kinta and not alone?" Rauxdi said with a grin as she squeezed his hand as Andre shook her head closing his eyes, "C-c-come on R-rauxdi! S-s-stop it!" "Ok, fine." Rauxdi said as once she let go of the blonde's hand, he bolted past the silver-haired man shouting something out loud that Rauxdi couldn't understand.

"Sorry Kinta about that. Andre's been down lately, mostly because he still hates you, but he feels guilty since your brother has no memory of what's happened to him and feels like it affects you a bit in some way," Rauxdi explained as she walked along Kinta's side, hoping that her awkward talk with Andre didn't make this man anymore uncomfortable.

 

Rauxdi just shook her head as she scowled at the brunette catching the menu, "Oh, shut up you stupid twat!" She realized something as she looked around before eyeing the brunette, "Where is Au-"
"Let me go Andre, I wanna go look at the pretty desserts!" Audri whined as Andre was grabbing Audri over to the table by the wrist as his face was still quite pink, "You can eat the sweets after dinner. Geeze, you hyper-super sweet tooth lunatic."

Rauxdi just stifled a laugh as she heard screams of laughter behind her. The Nobody girl glanced back to see Xander was carrying Scarlett on his back as she kept hitting him on the head with what looked like a stick. "E-easy Scarlett! I can still be bruised," Xander whined as Scarlett laughed and waved to the group at the restaurant, "Sweet, food! Who's paying this time?" "Let's talk about that later," Andre said as he sat down at the table with Rauxdi on his left while Audri sprinted over to Kinta before tackling him in kisses.
"Hello sweetie, is everything taken care of?" Audri asked with a faint smile on her face as the others started sitting down at the table as well.

 

Rauxdi and Andre glanced at Ranma nervously before shrugging. "So, who was that girl waitress?" Andre asked Ranma hoping for an answer as Xander snickered a little sitting next to Scarlett, "She was in that tournament that Xenlo has sponsored at Olympus. Lizabeth lost to her after I shot her with-"
"Wait, you were the guy back at Olympus when Lizabeth was getting in a fight with?" Scarlett asked as Audri walked over with Kinta. "Olympus? Lizabeth?" Andre asked a little confused as Xander laughed nervously, "While you were busy trying to win Rauxdi over with your stupid songwriting, I did some traveling around. Oh, before I forget Audri, how are those musical instument charms working for you?"

"Oh, they're been doing great," Audri said as she lifted her hand to look at all of the charms that were attached to the small link chain. "Look at the back of the piano, it's got an engraving," Xander said as Andre stood up blushing as he looked over at Xander, "Is that my-"
"Happy 21st Birthday Audri. Lots of love, Andre," Audri said as she read the engraving on the charm as Scarlett laughed. "Sorry Andre. I thought that she needed it before your birthday came up," Xander said crossing his arms as Audri looked up in realization, "We never did get to actually celebrate our birthday yet did we?!" "Huh, now that I think about it, I think today's our birthday," Andre said scratching the back of his neck as Audri pondered in thought. She immediately had an evil grin appear on her face, "Wanna "borrow" some of Xenlo's munny to pay for the meal?" Andre looked at her before shrugging a little, "Sure, why not?"

 

"Oh, Rauxdi made me sign a contract that if Lizabeth is in any type of situation where she gets hurt, I'm supposed to but in, kick her ass around a little bit, and then keep her from damaging Rauxdi's body just in case Raux was able to get back in her old shell," Xander said with a smile picking up a menu as Audri went over and hugged Andre from behind, "Thanks for the bracelet Andre! Oh, that reminds me! I have your present ready! Oh, give me a second."
Audri ducked down as she opened up a small portal before she pulled out a rather large red leather-bound book that has gold writing enscribed into the cover. She stood back on her feet as she put it on the table in front of Andre, "Happy Birthday brother!"

"Wha... What is this?" Andre asked picking up the book as Audri smiled cheerfully, "Well, if you remember all of those stories mom and dad told us when we were little, I asked Dietrich's help to find the stories and composed all of the pages by hand and blood. I've been working on this for the past few months, but I could never remember why. It hit me after some time when my memories about you came back and i worked to make sure to get to ready as a birthday gift!"

 

"Yeah, I wonder what's up with Ranma" Scarlett commented as Xander put the menu down annoyed, "And annoying enough, I don't have the appitite to eat anymore after seeing all the appetizers that Ranma chowed down on."

"Quit your bitching for a moment Xander," Andre snapped as he gave Audri a hug before she returned back to her seat next to Kinta, "Besides, I'm glad that Ranma left or I was going to have to knock him out."
"Andre, that isn't the proper thing you do to someone who might have pissed you off!" Rauxdi said glancing at Audri and Kinta as Andre shook his head as he pulled his cellphone out of his vest pocket, "No, I didn't mean it like that. I just thought of an idea in where Ranma might get his memories back with Riri and all."

"You're kidding me right? You have to be joking, how do you think about it NOW?" Scarlett asked almost getting up from her chair but Xander grabbed her shoulder and sat her back down before she tried to maul Andre. Scarlett looked down annoyed as Andre continued speaking, "Well, I was thinking about the horrible shit I did back when me and Audri had that fight about her dating "Akira" and how I wiped out hers and Akira's memories. The reason it was so easy to erase them in the first place was because I stole Xenlo's staff and used it on the two of them. Xenlo found out, beat my ass until I was almost dead, but he had me undo what I had done over the last few years until now."

"Why'd it take so long?" Audri asked as Xander rolled her eyes, "He was goofing off and trying to hook up with my sister. Had to knock him out a couple of times until he was able to fight back."
"Shut it and let me finish," Andre said glaring at Xenlo before he continued speaking, "Anyways, Dietrich has this book specifically made so that whatever Xenlo's staff erases appears in that book. It's a big ass book since Xenlo erased lives through his whole life with that staff of his. Maybe Ranma's memories are there, well possibly there?"

 

"I... really don't know. From what Xenlo had told us about Altessa's poison-laced bullets, it seem to have spread through the timeline of those few days that Riri and Ranma were out on their own before they became a couple. Also, reading about the story through Riri's eyes, it was pretty tragic," Andre said as he whipped up another small white book from the air.

"Wait, isn't that-" "Yeah. Lizabeth gave this to me just last night and thought we can at least put it to good use in some way. I looked to see how she's doing, but... Riri is still in total shock and loss after what happened with Ranma," Andre said as he tapped the book lightly on his forehead before sighing.
"So, is what Riri remembered really needed for her to keep her head up by this point about Ranny?" Xander asked as he had ordered some type of bread from their waiter as Andre shrugged, "You tell me. Is it even recognizable now that Riri had "dated" before this?" "Really? Well, who did she end up with?" Audri asked a little curious as Andre blushed a little nervously, "I think it was Matthew, me, and our uncle Sho."

"....Do I want to know the complimented backstory behind this?" Rauxdi asked with a threatening growl coming up her throat as Andre shook his head and held his hands up to protect himself, "E-easy Raux! It was a long time ago, and I only did it because I wanted to skin her and I was getting hungry!"
"Well, it's nice to know that our friend was going to become a roast fox," Scarlett snickered order a large chicken for the table as the waiter was taking orders from the others still.

"How... did you even meet Riri is what I'm curious about," Audri asked a little surprised as Andre scratched the back of her head, "Well, I think I was snooping around Dietrich's place and found her book since Dietrich said her time was running out. I opened it to see that she was going to be sacrificed to some horrible monster and be given to it, killed eventually. So I thought to myself 'why don't I save this girl from harm' and that's what I pretty much did. I went in, kind of went power-crazy so they knew I was some horrible threat, they offered me Riri as those virgin sacrifices, I took her far from the village before telling her that I helped save her from their prisons."

"Did she take any of it well?" Rauxdi asked now intrigued by the story as he laughed nervously, "Of course not. She was afraid of me because I looked human, but she stayed close so she wouldn't be captured by any of the other tribes just incase. One day, I was starting to get hungry, and Riri was supposedly looking a lot finer than most days and I..." Andre stopped for a moment as he started to laugh. "Huh? What is it?" Xander asked as Andre shook his head ceasing his laughter, "She fought me off and ran away through a portal she made. It didn't take her far, but that's how she ran into Sho that day since he was hunting heartless for experiments he was working on for his own fun."

"Huh, that is a lot of backstory you have there Andre," Audri said after a moment as Andre shrugged his shoulders, "What I'm saying is that what I read through each relationship she had with a guy, either being me, Matthew or Sho, wether it being close or not as affectionate, she just becomes.... so full of anger, hate, and maybe sadness for a time before she goes back to herself. From what I did read, A Tsuki reacts in a variety in ways, depending on how many relationships they have in their life. As for Riri... well, hers is pretty undefined at the moment."

"I guess.... that makes some-" "None of that makes sense, does it Scarlett?" Rauxdi raised an eyebrow at the ginger girl as she laughed nervously, "No, it really doesn't."

 

"Well, I'm not sure if the effects are going to be the same since the first three relationships were after different things with false love and affection involved with them all. I... don't really know if Riri had actually known what real love is at the time, so it might be a different result since Ranma actually did love her." Andre commented as he picked up his phone again and started dialing.

"I... Well, that's some shitty luck," Scarlett said as Xander joined Neli in finishing Ranma's leftovers. "Yeah, so who are you calling then Andre?" Rauxdi asked as Andre put the phone to his head and put his finger up to shut the others up from talking with him. "Hey Matty. ...Shut up for a minute and listen," Andre said as a blush formed across his face as the others just watched him while eating their food.
"Traverse Town, she's in a hotel room right n- Nonono, I didn't mean.... Look, just go visit her and bring Zero with her. Please, just don't screw with her because she can snap at any given moment.... Just shut up and make a damn portal you fool!" Andre snapped turning his phone off before a portal nearby opened up. Matthew stumbled through his a bouquet of red roses with Zero & Chaos tumbling through as well.
"C'mon you idiot, let's go see your sister!" Matthew said cheerfully about to grab Zero's hand, but Zero quickly escaped his reach and went over to Andre glaring down at him snarling, "What the hell did you idiots do to my sister?!"
