Knows No Limitations

By:
Takenouchi Ryu

Chapter 1

Author's Notes: Ok,
first off: I don�t own Monster Rancher, so don�t fucking sue me!!!!!!!!
Secondly, if you haven't looked at this fic's rating yet then do so now. You
have? Good! See the NC-17 next to the word rating? That means if you're a
friggin minor (under the age of 18) then don't read my fic! If you're a parent
who caught your underage child reading this fic then shame on you for not
monitoring his/her online activities more closely. Now that that's out of the
way, I know that most of you readers will be flaming me to Hell for the char
pairings to some extent. Fine by me, bring it! This fanfic takes place
approximately 2 months after Moo has finally been defeated in the anim� series.
Just for my benefit the char ages are as follows: Holly is 10, Genki is 10,
Pixie is 25, and the rest I don't give a flying fuck about. I hope you enjoy my
little fic. Any and all constructive criticisms will be appreciated. On
with the fic!!!!!!!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had
been two months since the defeat of Moo and things seemed to be going pretty
well. When given the choice of returning to his own world or staying, Genki
decided that he would much rather live with his friends in the monster's world.
They spent the time traveling all over and exploring more and new ruins of the
Ancients. During this time they came upon a small village called Tethedra.

Upon
entering Tethedra the gang felt an impending sense of doom. Every single
villager had this wary look in their eyes. Almost as if they were expecting to
be attacked. The villagers gave Genki and company suspicious glares as they
walked towards the village square and its fountain. "What is up with these
people?" Genki asked no one in particular.

"It's
as if they don't know that Moo is gone now." Tiger commented.

"Moo?
Moo! I wish it were that fiend again!" a villager started yelling at them
as he approached.

"Calm
down, please!" Holly told the old man and then continued, "What are
you talking about?"

"Freaks,
abominations; that's what I'm talking about!" the man replied, "If
you want more information then why don't you go ask him."

The
villager was pointing at someone sitting down by the fountain in the village
square. He had a cloak on and the hood pulled up, obscuring his face from the casual
glace. A bow and quiver of arrows were seen leaning against the fountain next
to him. "Who is he?" Pixie asked the villager. "Trouble."
came his reply, "That and a lot more. All our problems started about three
or four days after he first showed up here. These, things, they look like
monsters but aren't, have been attacking us ever since them. He's in league
with them I tell you!"

"What
makes you so sure of that?" Hare inquired.

"Simple,
it can't be mere coincidence that those creatures have been appearing ever
since that stranger entered our lands. He hardly ever talks, and the only time
he does so is when he brings in skins to sell for silver. Can you imagine!? Why
would anyone want silver instead of gold for furs and skins?"

"Well,
I don't think he can be all that bad." Holly stated, "Have you ever
actually seen him with those things you keep talking about when they
attack?"

"Well
no, but that doesn't mean he's not in league with them. There's something that
just isn't quite right about that man I tell you."

"There's
only one way to find out." Holly said as she started walking towards the
lone figure at the fountain.

Holly
noticed that he was wearing earthen colored leathers underneath the cloak as
she approached him. She could also see a pair of deep blue eyes tracking her
movements. <He's so much like a hunter all the time, like he is always
looking for his quarry.> Holly thought to herself as she quickly closed the
distance between them, <That must be why everyone is so afraid of him. I
wonder what he is doing here.> "Hi! I'm Holly. It's awfully hot out
here today, aren't you roasting in that clothes?" she asked to start a
conversation.

"I
don't mind the heat, now go away" was all he said.

"That's
not a very nice thing to say to someone who just introduced them self to
you."

"Then
I must not be a very nice person. Now scram, you'll only get in my way."
the stranger said as he stood up and picked up his bow and quiver of arrows.

"What
do...?" was all Holly could say as she heard a scream coming from
somewhere behind her.

She
turned to see a group of large wolf-like animals attacking a group of villagers
near the entrance. Her friends immediately started running towards the
villagers to help them. Holly started running towards Genki and was stopped by
a rather strong arm. She looked left to see the man again. He now had his cloak
off and Holly could see more of his face and what he looked liked. The stranger
was of average height but well muscled; with long blond hair pulled back into a
ponytail and held in place by a small and intricate clip. His pants appeared to
be tanned leather, as was the vest he wore. Three wicked looking scars
criss-crossed his chest. At his waist was a sword in it�s sheathe. "Like I
said, you'll be in my way." he repeated, "Stay here if you want to
live." Holly nodded at him and watched as he started running towards the
fight. The man got an arrow ready and fired. The first wolf-thing went down
with a blood curdling scream of pain as it writhed on the ground. Holly noticed
that his arrow heads were shiny, like highly polished silver.

Ignoring
the warning given to her, Holly started towards her friends and got a better
look at the creatures attacking them. They appeared to be some sort of hybrid
of a wolf and a human. They stood on legs that ended in large paws. They had
fur covering their entire bodies and had the head of a wolf. Their hands
appeared almost normal, albeit a bit oversized and with claws in place of
fingernails. As he got closer Holly saw the young man put his bow on his back
and draw his sword. Holly realized that both the arrow heads and the blade of
the sword itself were indeed made of silver. He jumped over a villager crawling
backwards from one of the monstrosities and sliced its chest open with one
swing. Where the sword had cut smoke was pouring out and the wolf-man fell to
down screaming in rage and pain as it died. <So this guy was buying silver
for weapons, but why? These things seem to react very strongly with silver,
maybe and allergy of some sort?> Holly thought to herself as she watched the
battle unfolding.

Everywhere
the man went wolf-men died. He saved Genki and Tiger, who had been backed to a
wall, and then charged off after one much scarred looking wolf-man attacking a
child. The wolf-man never knew what hit him as the stranger plunged his sword
into its exposed back. He withdrew the blade and turned towards yet another
group of wolf-men appearing from out of the forest. Holly was so engrossed in
his movements, the way he seemed to not really run but float across the ground,
his superb fighting ability, that she didn't notice the wolf-man coming at her
with a wicked looking scimitar.

"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Holly screamed in sheer terror as the blade came down and slashed her from her
left shoulder all the way down to her right thigh. As she started to fall down
the wolf-man picked her up and beat a hasty retreat to the forest. The monsters
tried to follow but were cut off by a group of wolf-men.

�Wait
here; I�ll bring her back.� With that the stranger ran after Holly and her
captor. He reached them a few minutes later in a clearing that had a campfire
going. The wolf-man noticed him and attacked. The man sidestepped and thrust
his sword into the wolf-man�s heart; it died quickly.

�Are you
OK?� Holly�s rescuer asked?

�I got
sliced by his sword; it really hurts.� Holly answered wincing.

�I have
some herbs that will help, but first we need to get your wound cleaned up.�

�Th-thank-you,
why did you come to help me?�

�You were
in danger. That was reason enough for me.� He answered as he knelt down and
took a pouch off his belt.

�You never
did give me your name.�

�I�m
Mikael.� The man replied as he started taking out various first aid items: a
bowl and pestle for the herbs, some cloth to clean the wound, and a kit to
stitch it together if the need arose.

�How far
does your cut go?� Mikael asked as he looked at the injury.

�It goes
down across my chest and stomach to my right thigh.�

�*sigh*
You�re going to have to take off your shirt and pants. I hope you have on
underwear.� He said as he started stripping Holly.

Holly
blushed as she let Mikael take off her shirt and pants. Unfortunately for her,
girls of Holly�s world normally did not wear bras. They also rarely wore
panties when wearing pants. Mikael looked her wound over, gauging differences
in cut depth and severity. He could not help but notice her young, developing
breasts and perfectly hairless honey pot. Mikael quickly pushed all thoughts
out of his mind except those concerning the task at hand.

�OK
Holly, I�m going to clean your wound and bandage it. That will hurt but luckily
the cut isn�t really all that deep. Afterwards I�ll make you a tea to help ease
your pain.�

�OK,
whatever you say.� Holly answered still blushing. She had seen how he looked at
her while checking her cut. <He wasn�t just checking the cut, though he
tried his best. This Mikael was looking me over as though he liked what he saw.
He is very handsome, not to mention strong�..> Holly�s thoughts were
interrupted as she felt a momentary stab of pain as Mikael started cleansing
her injury. �Why does it sting?� she asked. �It�s the herb mix I put in with
the water. It will help fight off infection but it does sting a bit when being
applied. I�m almost done though so it won�t hurt too much longer.� Holly just
nodded her head and resumed her contemplation of this newcomer. <He�s also
surprisingly gentle. Pixie is lucky to have Genki; I just wish I had somebody
of my own. Mikael is a good example of the kind of man I want. Too bad he�s so
quiet and withdrawn.>

Just as
Mikael was finishing up wrapping Holly�s cut in soft cloth the others arrived.
�Holly, what happened to you!?� Suezo demanded. �I�m fine Suezo; I just got a
little hurt.� Holly replied, �Genki, stop staring. It�s very rude!� Genki
realized what he was doing and turned away, but not before Pixie gave him a
very stern look. Big Blue walked up to Holly and inspected her treatment, �Very
good; I couldn�t have done better myself. Where did you learn to do such
excellent treatment?�

�You
learn a lot when you�re on your own.� Mikael stated as he handed a bag of
leaves to the ice golem, �Make a tea using only one leaf and give it to Holly
every night. That will ease the pain and help with healing.�

With that
Mikael picked up his bag and started walking away. �Hey! Where are you going?�
Pixie asked. �After those damn loupes of course.� Mikael responded.

�Genki,
what�s a loop chi?� Moochi asked his friend.

�That�s a
very good question Mooch.� Genki answered, �Just what is a loupe anyway?�

Mikael
turned around and answered Genki�s question, �A loupe is just one species of
lycanthrope, or lycan for short. As you could see, a loupe is a wolf type
lycan.�

�But what
do they want here?� Holly asked.

�Hell if
I know, but they probably are here for the same reasons they have for appearing
in other dimensions as well. They kill for the hell of it and plunder all in
their sight. They normally work with other lycan species as well, so that means
it stands to reason that you will encounter more and more every day.�

�Is that
why you�re here?�

�Yes,
Holly, I�ve been hunting them for a while now. I need to get going.� Mikael
said as he looked up at the darkening sky, �Those lycans will be going hard and
fast. I need to catch up to them.�

�Surely
you can stay with us the night?� Tiger queried, �It�s the least we can do to
show you our gratitude.�

�No, I
don�t have time for this. I must get going.�

With that
Mikael walked into the forest and shortly thereafter disappeared as the thick
foliage hid even his outline. Holly watched as he left, wondering if she would
ever see him again. Everyone else started discussing just why Mikael was
hunting them. They did not even notice when Pixie left the group and started
tailing him.

*****************************************

Mikael
knew the pixie was tracking him, he could smell her as she drew near. Pixie
landed in a tree as quietly as she could and patiently watched him to see what
he would do next. �You can come down now; I know you�re up there.�

�How did
you know?� Pixie asked as she jumped down to the forest floor.

�I
smelled you.�

�Oh! Why
are you so set on leaving? I�ve never seen Holly this peaceful and happy
before.�

�I wanted
to leave. I have a lot of ground to cover and you all would only slow me down.�

�Is that
really it? I saw the way you were looking at Holly as you treated her wound.�

�Well you
saw wrong.� Mikael began to turn and walk away but was cut off by the
determined monster.

�I don�t
think so. You can�t like to me that easily. Now tell me exactly why you thought
it would be best to leave.�

�Look,
I�m one of the last of my people. I have an obligation to keep and I don�t have
time for anything else. Now then, if you�ll excuse me, I�m wasting night.�

�Fine
then, go!� Pixie said coolly as she started to fly back towards the others.

Mikael
sighed as he thought about the long night ahead of him. There really was a lot
of ground to cover. It was too bad he could not stay with Holly and her
friends, some company would have been welcome after being alone for so long.
Just as he told himself he was going to leave he heard a rustling in the
foliage coming towards him. Mikael jumped up into the nearest tree and peered
out from behind the leaves. A lone loupe was tracking him and suddenly picked up
Pixie�s scent. It howled and then took off in the direction of the camp.

�Shit!�
Mikael muttered to himself as he took off after the loupe, sword drawn and at
the ready.

****

Moochi
shivered at the sound of the loupe�s howl deep in the forest. �It�s gonna be
alright Moochi.� Genki promised. Moochi looked up at him with complete trust in
his eyes and smiled then lay down by the fire to sleep for the night. Pixie
then came flying into the camp. �We need to get out of here; now!�

�Pixie is
right.� Greywolf stated.

�Uh,
guys; I think we may be just a little bit too late for that.� Hare said
pointing at the tree line. Just then a large loupe jumped out into the clearing
and made a bee line for Holly. Golem tried to block the evil creature�s path,
but was thrown aside like so much junk. The loupe was close enough for Holly to
smell its rancid breath and see it snarl when Mikael caught up with it. The
loupe was getting ready to strike when it was interrupted, �Hey fuck-face,
leave Holly alone!�

Everyone
turned to see Mikael dashing from out of the forest and leap high into the air.
The loupe smiled and started running towards Mikael. It tried go jump up and
grab onto him, but Mikael sliced its hand off with his sword and then plunged
it deep into its chest as he landed.

The
loupe�s body spasmed for a few minutes as it died. The monsters, Genki, and
Holly were both relieved and shocked to see the enigmatic warrior once again.
�I thought you said you had a lot of ground to cover tonight.� Holly accused.

�I do,
that doesn�t mean I was just going to let that damn fur ball slip past me and
kill you all. Besides, he was just a low class scout, so the main pack is still
in the general vicinity.�

�So
you�re staying here tonight?� Holly asked.

�Yeah, I
might as well. What with you being so popular with our local large,
bloodthirsty, and murderous population and all I have nothing to lose. I�ll
probably get to kill far more loupes just staying here with you guys than I
would have just searching them out.�

�Why are
you hunting these loupes in the first place?� Golem inquired.

�That is
a very long story.� Mikael said as he took a seat on the ground near the fire
with everybody else, �My people came into being a very long time ago. We were
commissioned to hunt down and destroy the evil lycans wherever they dared to
show their face. We were also commanded to show no mercy to those beasts.�

�OK, but
why don�t you have any help?�

�My race
is dying Holly, slowly but surely. You see, we are a cursed people.�

�Cursed?�
Pixie repeated, �Why?�

�One of
our warriors did the unthinkable: he showed a lycan the ultimate mercy. He took
one as his mate.�

�He
what!?� Genki exclaimed.

�He took
one as his mate. Listen, for all their brutality lycans are still humans;
albeit twisted versions of humans. The first lycans appeared when a young girl
got infected by a virus that had been in hibernation since time immemorial.
This young warrior was na�ve about the ways of the world and thought that maybe
by mating with the lycan peace would come to us at last. He was wrong though.
We were cursed forever more after that day.�

�You
don�t look cursed.� Big Blue said.

�That�s
because our curses are mental in nature.�

�Mental?�
Holly questioned.

�Yeah,
mental. Each member of my race still alive today has one of a number of mental
curses placed on them from the moment of birth until the day they die.�

�Is that
why you didn�t want to talk to me today?� Holly asked.

�Yes,
that is exactly why. Look, I�m dangerous to be around. You all really should
leave here now and not look back.�

�You
would give up friendship to be alone?� Genki asked with a very puzzled
expression on his face.

�I�m used
to it by now; I�ve been alone all my life.�

�That�s so
sad!� Holly said.

�It�s not
so bad once you get used to it.�

�What is
your curse, Mikael?� this coming from Greywolf.

�The
worst one of all.�

�And that
is?� Tiger pressed.

�Pedophilia.�

�What�s
pedophilia chi?�

�It means
that I have a very sick and perverted mind, at least according to the general
consensus of most dimensions I�ve been in.�

�So
you�re stuck always being attracted to girls who are very young, at least
physically anyway.�

�Yes. It
would be bearable if that were all to the curse though.�

�What
could be worse than that?� Pixie asked.

�There is
a way to break the curse.�

�How is
that so bad?� Suezo wanted to know.

�The only
way to free myself of the curse is to give in to it.�

�Ouch!
That is harsh!� Genki said.

�You have
no idea.� Mikael simply replied.

By that
time supper was ready and everyone ate. After eating Mikael got up and said he
was going for a walk. Nearby was a small lake and he stood looking into its
waters. Holly soon found him and joined him in silent contemplation.

�Mikael,
I just wanted to say thank-you. You know, for saving my life twice today.�

�Don�t
think about it. I just did what I always do.�

�Well,
thank-you anyway.� Holly turned to look Mikael in the eyes. Their gaze met and
Mikael could barely contain himself. <God, Holly�s such an angel. I could
really see myself�.No! I can�t think that! But still�.> Mikael could not
stand it anymore. He leaned down and gently kissed Holly on the lips. She
closed her eyes and savored the moment; wishing it could go on forever. Mikael
broke the kiss and pulled away, �I shouldn�t have done that.� �Why not? I�I�ve
wanted you to kiss me ever since I first saw you. How is that wrong.�

�It just
is. In my world what I just did would have me severely punished.�

�But this
obviously isn�t your world. This is mine. Here we go by many more things than
just an age difference. Most folks don�t care as long as it isn�t too bad.�

�I�m
twenty. I�d say that that is more than enough to get me lynched by anybody.�

�You�re
twenty, so what. That�s only ten years. Pixie is fifteen years older than Genki
and no one has a problem with them being together.�

�Pixie
and Genki are a couple?�

�Yeah, I
know it may sound a little strange, but it�s the truth. Pixie fell in love with
the boy that taught her how to feel again.�

�Hmmmm��I
don�t know. I�m too used to being alone.�

�I can
help you with that.� Holly said as she pulled his vest and him down for another
kiss. Mikael could not believe what was happening to him. Redemption did not
come for his people. They were always left out. Yet here was this beautiful
goddess of a girl telling him she wanted to be with him. Mikael couldn�t hold
back any longer and began to kiss Holly in kind; his arms wrapping around her.
They stayed like that for a long while, savoring each other�s taste and probing
the other�s mouth with their tongues.

They
eventually had to stop to catch their breath, but still held onto each other.
�I love you Mikael; I have from the moment we met.� �I love you too Holly; God
have mercy on my soul but I love you too.� �It will be fine; the others wont
judge you by anything but what you do.� �It�s not your friends I�m worried
about. It�s everyone else.�

�Don�t
worry. They can�t do anything to us.�

�Maybe
not here in your world Holly, but what about mine? What about the other worlds
I will have to go to in order to fulfill my duty?�

�We�ll go
with you and no one will let anything happen. I won�t let anything happen.�

Mikael
smiled at Holly and held her tight. After a few minutes they walked back to
camp hand-in-hand. Pixie was the only one still up as it was her shift to pull
guard. She noticed the way they were walking and smiled to herself. <Holly
needs a good man in her life; heaven knows she deserves it. It looks like
Mikael has been in need of someone himself for a lot longer than I thought too.
I know they will be right for each other.>

Holly and
Mikael slept beside each other that night. For the first time in years Mikael
slept peacefully. When they woke in the morning, both were ready to face
whatever life threw in their way.
