Darkest Hours Part 4

Ranma groaned as he relaxed in one the natural hotspring that was near the Dragon's cave. "I can't belive even after a month I'm still this sore after a day of trainning." "Aiya, it really tiring even when train with Great Grandmother it not this hard." Shampoo said from across the spring. Ranma had some trouble adjusting to sharing the bath with the amazon but since the dragon kept them on a strict schedual they didn't have enough time to take turns and Shampoo had made it quite clear she wasn't bathing every other day.

The next day

Ranma sighed his clothes weren't going to last much longer if this kept up. Ranma blocked Shampoo's sword with the metal staff he had been given 'great there goes some more of it.' he thought as Shampoo cut another slash across his shirt. "Enough Shampoo go continue your Bakusai Tenketsu training" "Yes master" Shampoo bowed and left. "Why the heck is Shampoo so proper around you?" Ranma asked "I am a legend in the villige I created many of the amazon styles of fighting thousands of years ago." "Why, did you do that I mean sure you know allot but you can't use it." "True but a war that I needed a champion for I used the founder of the tribe this is the first time I've used two students." "Was Cologne your student." "Khu Lon was one of my champions over the years yes."

"Um could you tell me now you promised the day we began." "Allright but you must take your Hidden Weapons and the individual weapons training more seariously." "But I don't need weapons." "Listen to me boy a great martial artist may not need weapons but it is good to know them in some fights a weapon helps in others it doesn't but it helps to know them." Ranma grudginly accepted "Verywell your father was not human he was a tiger thrown into the spring of drowned man." Ranma gasped "He wanted a killer for an air and you would have been except for the Neko-ken it is the embodiment of your uniqe heritage that's why you didn't go permanetly crazy like the other trainees." Ranma gasped the Neko-ken saved him. "Also it made you see your father for what he really was so you swore to never turn out like him." Ranma nodded that he remembered very clearly the betrayl he felt when his father threw him in the pit. "Now that I have told you go practice with Shampoo we don't have very much longer." Ranma nodded "Don't feel bad Ranma think of it like this the one who loves you will accept it regardless of it's ramefications to her honor." Ranma walked off thinking why would it affect Akane's honor she won't even find out. "Aiya got you Ranma." Shampoo said hitting Ranma over the head with a bonbori "I'll get you for that Shampoo." Ranma said chasing after her."

To be continued.
