guardian angels who love their charges - Ryoga & Tohko

[pchan]

 Before leaving on this latest 'journey to become stronger', Ryoga Hibiki had emptied out his wallet in buying good luck charms. Normally he wouldn't lower himself to such superstitions (or so he told himself, though that still made it a lie)  but he needed all the fortune he could get on the return journey back. He had an ingenious plan... he would show Akane Tendo his brand new super strength on Valentine's Day!

But despite his backpack being filled with expensive charms, on February fourteenth Ryoga was nowhere near Akane's home town. Though he would still keep moving, his heart was heavy with despair. Why did things always turn out his way? Why was he misfortune's favorite son? Why couldn't his parents do all in their power to ensure that his sense of direction was something close to normal?

With his agony and anger bubbling up, he needed to vent before he resumed his footsteps. Maybe if he got rid of these feelings temporarily, it'd make this whole thing feel faster. He took a deep breath, flexed his fingers, and crouched into position, starting the 'mantra'.

"Can't do anything right... Can't even follow directions...Not even sure where I am right now... SHISHI HOKODAN!"

The Lion's Roar shot flew out of his hands, toppling a nearby tree within seconds.
