Chapter 32: Puppet master

Ryuko looked at [Name] as he took a stance. She also took notice of the fact that he was missing his ring. The ring that he always wore to keep his full power concealed. Ryuko sighed at this and grabbed a hold of her glove before she activated Senketsu into his Kamui form. Ryuko then took out her blade and readied it. "Ryuko I'm sure this goes without saying but we can't afford to hold back," Senketsu said looking up at her.

"Yeah I know. It'd be a mistake to hold back against him when he's not wearing that special ring of his," Ryuko said looking at [Name]. She then dashed forward and attempted to hit him but he dodged that attack and kneed her in the stomach.

"You know it's a little hard to believe that no one else ever thought of hitting you were senketsu doesn't protect you," [Name] said as he launched his fist into her face. Ryuko held her face and grew irritated and went to stab him. [Name] saw this and moved to the side causing the blade to cut his arm. He winced at this and Ryuko went to finish the fight quickly however as she did she saw something that didn't seem right.

She saw that she was high up off the ground and saw several small buildings as well as several lights that were on the buildings. She also noticed that for whatever reason her heart was beating a little faster than usual. Shen then felt something or rather someone grab her hand. She stopped when she saw this and was going to continue to watch it until she felt a fist once again hit her in her gut. She came to her scenes and noticed that she was in the air slightly with [Name] right below her.

She then saw his leg flying towards her and went to block it which for the most part work but sent her even higher into the air. She then saw [Name] jump up into the air and she covered her face seeing that that is where he seemed to be aiming for. However, she felt something impact her back and she was sent flying towards the ground.

She quickly got up and got her sword ready as she watched [Name] fall towards the ground. However as she did she once again returned to what she was seeing before she looked at the hand that was holding hers then looked up to see [Name] with a smile on his face as well as a light blush covering his cheeks. "This was a waste of time but I'm glad that we went here," He said looking at her.

Ryuko was confused to hear this, however, a kick to the jaw once again snapped her out of her thoughts. [Name] then started to send several punches her way which she blocked with her sword. "Ryuko what's going on?" Senketsu asked realizing that she for the third time basically stood still while [Name] attacked her.

'I'm not sure Senketsu. I'm starting to see things that aren't really there and I think that they may be my memories of me and [Name]. They keep showing up and distracting me,' Ryuko thought to herself which Senketsu heard.

"I see now of all times they could have returned this could not have been a worse time," Senketsu said more to himself than to Ryuko however Ryuko heard it nonetheless.

'Yeah no kidding,' Ryuko thought to herself as the memory once again started to play out in front of her. She once again felt her heart start to speed up ever so slightly but not enough to where it would make any real difference for the fight. She then heard [Name] call out to her.

"Ryuko," She heard [Name] say and looked to her side and when she did she saw [Name] had a very dark blush on his face. He then leaned forward quickly and placed a kiss on her lips. She then watched as he pulled away slowly and looked at her with an even deeper blush on his face. "I love you Ryuko-Chan" To say Ryuko was shocked at what she had just remembered was an understatement. She was so shocked that the memory ended there and she still didn't react to [Name].

She just let him hit her in the stomach sending her flying into the wall. She was about to get out until she found that [Name] was standing right in front of her. She was about to hit him until she heard the familiar voice of Ragyo speak. "[Name] we have what we came, for now, let's leave," Ragyo said looking at him. [Name] grunted at this news and turned around and began to walk away.

Ryuko made her way out of the wall and when she did she saw that Ragyo was holding four rings that all looked identical. "Four decay metal rings down now all we need to do is find the last one," Ragyo said as she put her hand on [Name]'s shoulder and the three of them teleported away.

"This isn't good," Xerxes said looking at the spot that the others had just left.

"Yeah no kidding they got away," Nonon said looking at the two identical beings in front of her.

"No, not that I believe what Xerxes means is that this isn't good because they have four of the decay metal rings. Seeing as how they teleported they already have Hideo's ring they took Zero's ring last night and they just took our own rings they're only missing [Name]'s ring." The other said looking at his brother.

"And that's a bad thing?" Ira asked looking at the two males in front of him.

"Well maybe, Hideo and Zero did some research on the rings a little bit but nothing about them really seemed to make that much sense so they just stopped however they seemed to have thought that it would be a bad idea if the five rings were to have one user," Xerxes said looking at them.

"So we need to find [Name]'s ring before they do?" Ryuko asked looking at them. "I don't understand why he wouldn't have the ring, though. He always wore it even before he came to see Mako and his family again," Ryuko said looking at the male figure in front of her.

"Yes that's true but this isn't the [Name] we remember this is a completely new [Name] one that's being controlled by Ragyo. He's not a free man anymore. he's a pawn that now belongs to Ragyo and she is his puppet master. Anything she tells him to do he will do," Satsuki said looking at Ryuko. "We need to start planning how we are going to find [Name]. Chances are he already knows where his decay metal ring is. Let's go talk to Zero I'm sure he'll have an idea as to where the ring may be," Satsuki said looking at the males in front of her.

"You all go ahead I'm going to go check something out," Ryuko said looking at them. They all nodded and left well all except for her elder sister.

"What's wrong Ryuko?" Satsuki asked looking at her.

"Nothings wrong or, at least, nothings wrong yet. I just want to go for a walk with Senketsu and find out a few things that I think he's been keeping from me," Ryuko said looking at Satsuki.

"I understand me and the others will be at the hospital talking to Zero if you need us," Satsuki said looking at Ryuko.

"Well I'll be there soon enough so don't worry about me," Ryuko said looking at her. Satsuki nodded when she heard this and began to walk towards the hospital that they had just left moments ago.

Ryuko then started to walk down the street and when she did she found herself a small bench to sit on and then looked down at Senketsu. "Alright Senketsu I saw something that has me questioning a few things. So I want the truth from you so please don't lie to me. These are things that I really need to know at the moment," Ryuko said looking at him. However, much to her discomfort Senketsu was silent.

"Alright first question me and [Name] we aren't just friends are we?" Ryuko asked looking down at Senketsu.

"No you are [Name] are far closer than friends," Senketsu said looking up at the female that was currently wearing him.

"That's what I thought well at least that explains why I felt weird when we kissed at that Halloween party," Ryuko said looking at Senketsu. "Alright next question our relationship status how does it stand at the moment?" Ryuko asked looking at him.

"From what I can tell the two of you are in love. He has never done anything to purposely hurt you well not until today at least and you have done nothing to hurt him. Everyone knows about the two of you and you two have done a lot of things together," Senketsu said looking at Ryuko.

"Alright, that's . . . What do you mean by we've done "things" together?" Ryuko asked looking down at Senketsu.

"Oh well you see Ryuko a few months ago before [Name] disappeared you and him became very intimate upon your request," Senketsu said looking at her causing the female to blush heavily.

"What do you mean upon my request? ARE YOU SAYING I ASKED FOR IT?" Ryuko asked looking down at the piece of clothing that she was currently wearing.

"Yes you requested it as a reward for doing something he agreed to your conditions and the two of you became intimate a few nights later," Senketsu said looking at Ryuko. Ryuko blushed and looked down at the ground when she heard this.

"Hey, Senketsu was I . . . you know . . . happy?" Ryuko asked looking down at him.

"Yes, you were. You and [Name] seemed to be the perfect couple. Both were happy and both loved each other more than anything else in the world." Senketsu said looking at her.

"Wow hard to believe that me and [Name] were at one point at a couple," Ryuko said aloud. She meant for it to be more private than anything but Senketsu heard it.

"You know if things work out then there's a very good chance that the two of you will once again become a couple," Senketsu said looking at Ryuko.

"Yeah I know or, at least, I hope so. Although without that ring of his we won't have any chance of getting him back to normal," Ryuko said looking at Senketsu. However, as soon as she said this she heard something and looked down at her feet to see a ring that kept circling around her feet. She looked at it for a second before she leaned down and picked it up. When she did she looked at it for a second before she realized that this was [Name]'s decay metal ring.

"Senketsu this is [Name]'s decay metal ring this is his ring. We have a chance now maybe it's not too late to for all of us to make it through this." Ryuko said as she looked at the ring. However, as soon as she said this she passed out falling to the ground completely unaware of her surroundings.
