BattleMage Series

testing the new permalinks.

Site was down for a little bit, there shouldn’t be any further down time.

I have been very, very busy but I do have a section you can read before I get information back from Tai.

The screaming bullet of red and black landed with a giant splash in the middle of one of the canals that ran through the city. While in went a raven-haired male youth, what came out was a drenched female red-head. Sputtering out what water was stuck in her throat as she stepped out onto the shoreline, Ranma-chan slammed her fist into the ground as she stood up, ‘That uncute tomboy.’ She grumbled mentally before wringing out what water she could get out of her silk shirt and pants. ‘Every time I say something bad about her and WHAM!’ It took several minutes to get the excess water out of her clothing before she jumped out of the canal and up to the rooftops. She didn’t feel like heading back to the Tendo-ke, knowing that Akane would still be in her foul mood no matter what time she got there. She opted to spend the time thinking about her relationships with all of her Fiancés. What she said to Ukyo rang true. She never asked any of them to marry her. She never asked to have them follow her. In fact, she never wanted any of them in the first place because she wasn’t ready to settle down and have a family.

As Ranma jumped around the rooftops she spotted someone she recognized when she was at the club. She dropped down from the roof she was on and started running towards the woman, “Hey!” The woman in question turned around and looked at the redhead with a questioning before Ranma-chan spoke up again. “You were at the club a few nights ago, weren’t you?”

The woman with long white hair blinked once, and then twice before responding, “You’re Ranma? From the dance club right? Jinkies, I’d heard about a guy around here that turned into a redheaded girl, but I’d no idea it was you.” Ranma-chan gave a light smile as the woman remembered her from the night before.

“Yeah that’s me.” She walked closer to the older woman and looked at her face directly. She wondered when she would test to see if she really was a girl with the usual response. When it didn’t occur, she tilted her head slightly before asking the obvious question, “So this doesn’t bother you?”

“Nope.” The woman smiled at the redhead before continuing her walk. Ranma-chan followed her as they went into a small cafe at the corner. They slipped in and found a table where they both could talk. “Honestly I’ve encountered stranger things than someone changing genders. Dragons and Djinn are just the top of that long list.” She smiled and flagged down a waitress for some tea and a snack. She looked at Ranma-chan, who just ordered some green tea, before continuing, “I even knew a shapechanger once during my travels.”

“Really? Where did you go?”

The woman smiled at Ranma-chan’s enthusiasm about traveling, “Many places. Been through Europe, Africa, and Antarctica just to name a few of the continents that I went through.” Their tea arrived and the woman was told her other order would be a few more minutes as the waitress went to another table to take the order of another customer.

There is more, but I figure that this should tide you over for a while.

I know I should be writing. I should be writing out every last scene possible and get this written. However life has thrown me a curve ball. So I will post what I have in another scene that was finished.

-=-=-=-

…“Clearly the wedding cannot proceed under these conditions.” Soun stated as he brought everyone to his attention. Feeling that he needed to get what should have been the original point of the talk out he continued, “As is proper, lingering relationships should be settled before a couple can be married. We can all see that you have plenty of those.” Both Nodoka and Genma nodded as they felt that they were both right in needing these relationships figured out, “So we have arranged for the wedding to be delayed, until you can sort out your personal affairs.”

Akane knew that what her father was talking about didn’t apply to her, as she didn’t have any unwanted suitors that continued to ignore her demands. Yet she couldn’t forget that there was one suitor who just wouldn’t leave well enough alone, and she hoped that once she was married to someone else, that suitor would acknowledge her right to marry whomever she wanted to, “Pay attention, Ranma! All this mostly applies to you.” she glanced over at the pig-tailed boy and wondered what he was going to do about the problems now that her father brought them up.

When Akane spoke directly to him, he focused all of his attention towards her. She soon realized that having the full attention of Ranma Saotome was not in anyones best interest at this time. Ranma gave the youngest Tendo daughter a glare as he decided she needed reminding of some of the other patrions that were at the wedding that were there specifically for her, “This was just as much your fault for what happened yesterday, Akane.” He started, ticking off his fingers as he named the suitors that were at the wedding trying to marry her, “You have Kunou, Ryouga, Gosenkugi. All of them were there to see if they could try to marry you.” He stopped there before his thoughts frustrated him further than what he should have been, ‘I don’t plan on being roped in like this between her father and my parents.’ Ranma thought as he watched Akane open her mouth to retort only to stop once he turned his attention back to the Tendo patriarch, “So what do you want me to do about it, Tendo-san?” It was a simple question, and one he thought that either his parents or Soun Tendo would be able to answer, “How am I suppose to resolve the problem with these girls when the only one who can honorably do so is Pops?” He growled once more, gritting his teeth before he blew a gasket at the patriarch for the loss of the Nannichuan, which would be discussed after he could get Soun alone.

Deciding that Ranma was not being what she felt was manly, Nodoka made her opinion stand out as she addressed her son in the proper way of respecting ones elders, “Ranma, why are you trying to make Tendo-san feel like he’s the culprit in this whole issue?” This brought her son to look at her as she continued to tell her son how he should be treating the host of where he was currently staying, “You know that he is allowing you to stay in his home…”

“ Because, Kaa-san,” Ranma glared at his mother, “He distinctly took something that was rightfully mine and used it as a bartering chip to marry his daughter!” He waited for his mother to answer before glaring at his Old Man, when he didn’t give a response to why Soun did what he tried, he brought the same glare to the man responsible for the issue in the first place. This of course didn’t result in any response from him as well. Frustrated beyond belief, he stood up and left the family members left in the tea room to gape at his departure from the conversation.

Akane scrambled up as she saw her fiancé leave the table. She quickly grabbed her shoes and book bag before yelling out, “Ranma!” She was able to get her shoes on her feet and start chasing after Ranma towards school, ‘What has gotten into him?’ were her last thoughts as she tried to keep up with her fiancé.

There’s more but I think that’ll satisfy a few people here while I work on the other sections that I’m having issues with.

I decided that some people needed a treat for being patient while I wrote out the story. So here’s a little bit from the new chapter. Enjoy!

“Oh. Morning Nabiki-chan, Ranma-kun.” Kasumi responded as she saw the two enter the tea room. Kasumi’s gaze drifted over the two, looking for any signs that could hint at both of them being married. She cursed herself for not finding anything that she could show, but did notice the closeness that they both shared was still there from the day before, ‘Maybe they still want to have that threesome.’ she thought as she set the last dish on the table, “Nabiki-chan, could I talk to you for a bit?” Knowing very well that Nodoka was up and fixing breakfast and that she should be back there helping Auntie Saotome, but this information was needed.

Both Ranma and Nabiki looked at each other for a moment before the middle sister decided to go talk to her older sister. Neither of them forgot that Kasumi found them in the furo and probably wanted to talk to them about it before she went to the fathers, “You owe me, Saotome.” Nabiki explained to him, pushing a finger against his chest, following her sister towards the furo where they could talk with some privacy.

As Nabiki entered the laundry room before the furo, Kasumi shut the door quietly and turned to her sister. Her eyes conveyed that she wanted some answers and needed them so she could tell the their parents about her sister’s hidden municipals with the Saotome heir, “Spill Nabiki.”

Even if she had just gotten up, and didn’t get quite enough sleep as she wanted, Nabiki knew that her sister wanted the sordid details of her experience with Ranma. Just to be on the safe side, however, she decided that her older sister would have to ask the question first before she would divulge any information, “About what, dear sister?”

“About when you were going to tell me you and Ranma-kun got married!”

And we’re back up without too much difficulties. If you see any problems, let me know at admin@seikyo.dyndns.org

Currently the site will be down for most of the day. I’m letting you know so you don’t have to worry.

I do have the other site that is available, http://www.battlemage.org where I have been updating it constantly as I hope to move away from the personal server as I try to work on the server later this day.

Please feel free to go to the website and do all your discussions there.

I’m still working on part 2 of the story. I admit though it has been very tough trying to get everything written down and categorized the way it should be while working on a few other things at the same time. Still I have plenty of ideas and I’m still writing on the story.

I’m currently in the process of moving everything over to a new domain, it will keep everything here and active. If you want to see the domain, it’s www.battlemage.org
