===================
===================
Ranma walked to school alone that day. He aimlessly balanced on the
fence. It was quiet. He occasionally looked down to where Akane would be
walking, only to remember that she wasn't there. In class, his eyes would gaze
over to Akane's empty seat. At the end of the day, he stood in the front of the
school and waited for Akane. It wasn't until after someone asked him what he was
doing when he realized Akane wouldn't meet him there. <Geez... It's almost like
I miss the tomboy.> he thought haughtily to himself. As he wandered home, he
just happened to pass by Dr. Tofu's. <eh, might as well take a look while I'm
here.>
The door creaked as Ranma entered. Dr. Tofu sat, changing the wet towel
on Akane's head. He turned to Ranma and motioned him to take a seat next to him.
"So... how's she doing?" Ranma asked, attempting not to be too
concerned.
"Not any better. She hasn't woken yet, but she has stirred
occasionally."
"So... ah... How we suppose to, ya know, wake her up?"
"Well like I told you before, we have to first find out what she wished
for, then we have to somehow grant that wish." Ranma frowned. He already knew
that, that was the way to cure Akane, but he was hoping that perhaps this time
would be different. Perhaps this time it would be easier.
Ranma didn't stay long in Dr. Tofu's office. When he got home, he didn't
talk to anyone, he just went upstairs into his room, where he sprawled out on
the floor.
<Wish... Wish... What could she have wished for...> Ranma sat pondering,
not really getting anywhere.
>Knock Knock<
"What?" Ranma hastily replied.
"Can I come in?" Ranma mumbled a yes and the door opened, revealing
Nabiki on the other side. She walked up towards him and sat down.
"So, I heard that Dr. Tofu said that there is a way to cure Akane."
"umm..."
"By granting her wish, correct."
"Yeah... what about it?"
"Well... I figured, being that she IS my sister and she IS in some
trouble... I figured that I could help you."
"Ok Nabiki, hold it. What is it and how much is it going to cost me?"
Nabiki held her hand to her mouth and gave a disgusted look.
"I'm appalled that you'd think I'd such a thing."
"So you're going to tell me for free?"
"Of course not. I'll reduce the price, all you have to do is do some
modeling for me later, and we're even." Ranma fault faced. <Nabiki... even when
her sister is in trouble.> Nabiki continued, "C'mon Ranma, where do you think we
are getting our money to pay for the medical bills here? I'm doing this FOR
Akane. Now is it a deal or not?" Ranma groaned and reluctantly agreed.
----------------
----------------
>Huff - Huff - Huff< Akane panted while running. Shampoo and Ukyo were
still a ways ahead. <I have to catch up... Huff... I have to catch up...> Akane
speed up a bit. Shampoo and Ukyo ran with ease. Both without a drop of sweat
from their heads, a moment of breath lost, nor the slightest bit of strain on
their muscles. No, they did not run, they glided. Akane speed up again, this
time almost catching up to them. Ukyo took a look back and smiled.
"What's wrong? Didn't make a good breakfast?" she smiled and continued
running along. Shampoo turned towards Akane, never slowing her pace.
"What wrong Akane? Look like you have trouble running, eat too much?"
Shampoo turned back around. Shampoo and Ukyo both began to speed up. Akane
panted and coughed a bit as she tried desperately to speed up with the other
girls. Shampoo and Ukyo slowly vanished from Akane's sight as they got further
and further ahead of her. The ground began to rumble a bit, Akane, still short
of breath, turned to see a mass of girls running towards her, soon catching up
to her. Akane pushed with her tried hands, shoving those around her in order to
get through, but she was stuck. Her body gave away as the mass dragged her along
for a bit, but soon her body fell and was passed by the other runners. Soon,the
other runners also disappeared, running to far for Akane to see.
Akane lay limp, sprawled on the dirt, face down. Short and quick breaths
left her lips. She carefully lifted her head in order to see what was ahead of
her. All was deserted, all except for the small goal far ahead. She shifted her
arms and attempted to lift herself up, but to no avail. Her body dropped again,
refusing to move. So she laid there, hoping someone would come.
----------------
----------------
Shampoo sat lazily in the restaurant. There wasn't much business that
day and she was rather board. She sighed and shifted her body weight. <Not even
Mousse is around.>
>Pout< <I haven't seen Ranma around in awhile... nor Akane... wonder
what he is doing...> An idea popped into her head. She stood up and slapped her
hand with her fist. <I got it. I'll go visit Ranma and see what he is doing.
Grandmother doesn't need me right now, no one is in the restaurant.> She giddily
smiled and began to skip away towards the Tendo dojo.
---------------
Ranma carefully looked at the paper Nabiki had given him and then look
back to Nabiki.
"I dunno if I should be doing... I mean, its like... a personal kind of
thing..." Nabiki shook her head and pointed her finger towards Ranma.
"You DO want to help Akane, right?"
"Not like it matters, I mean, she IS a super strong muscle freak. I'm
sure she would be able to get out of a little cure on her own..." Nabiki grinned
and looked at Ranma skeptically.
"Of course Ranma... Oh course. Are you going to look at it or not."
Ranma fidgeted a bit. Nabiki yawned and tapped her foot on the ground. "I'm
waiting..."
"Well..."
>boom... BooM... BOOM... CrAcK<
"Nihao!" Shampoo smiled and ran to "glomp" Ranma.
"Ah... Shampoo..." Ranma said as he attempted to move from Shampoo's
grasp.
"Why hello Shampoo." Nabiki turned, almost in disgust. "Well, you can't
say I didn't try to help you Ranma." Nabiki wandered away, leaving poor Ranma to
deal with Shampoo.
"Ayia, Ranma you miss Shampoo, yes?" Ranma's arms were extended, pushing
Shampoo away.
"Ugh... Shampoo, will PLEASE get off of me. I've got enough to deal with
already..."
"What wrong? Violent girl hit too much?"
"Ha... that'd almost be nice..." Shampoo gave Ranma a look of confusion.
<That's right, Shampoo doesn't know... maybe I shouldn't tell her... Kami-sama
only knows what she do to me if she knew Akane was out of the way...>
"Ah... Nothing..." Ranma laughed and held the back of his head, hoping
Shampoo would forget about the topic altogether. But Ranma's face deceived him
yet again and Shampoo began to question him about it.
"What happen to Akane? She hate you now?"
"Ah... well... ya see..."
"Oh hello Shampoo." Kasumi calmly walked into the room holding a tray of
snacks. "I thought I heard someone break the wall. To what do we owe the
pleasure of having you here today?"
"Shampoo here to see Arien. Where Akane? We need fight again."
"Oh my. I guess you don't know then..."
"Huh?" Shampoo cocked her head to the side, showing she had no clue what
they were talking about. Ranma began shaking his head and waving his arms in
attempt to stop Kasumi. But Kasumi went on oblivious to Ranma's signals.
----------------
The water was calm like the wind. A man sat by the bank accompanied by
his friend. Both sprawled on the ground, the sun beating on their bodies.
Bottles lay scattered and empty around then. The stench of sake filled the air
around them. One man sat up wearily and poked his friend. His friend growled.
"Oi... I... I th-ink that... I for-got some-thing...I-dun-no...
whaddjathink?" His friend looked at him, then took a sign and smacked him with
it. He growled again, and began to scribble some sloppy letters.
[waduyamean...] The first man scratched his head. The other man looked
at him blankly. They both sat and stared at each other.
>Plop< The two feel back again to the way they were before. Two friends
sat at the bank of the river. And the sun peers down at the two. The man and his
friend panda.
--------------
"Ayia... Akane is cursed? Why not tell Shampoo earlier Ranma?" She
looked at Ranma for an answer he didn't have. But it's not like Shampoo would
have waited for his reply anyways. "Why no tell Shampoo sooner? Shampoo can
help..."
"Huh? Wait, say that again."
"Shampoo help."
"Hey... what's the catch?"
"No catch, just promise." Ranma's face looked poisoned as Shampoo
continued. "Ranma marry Shampoo."
"WHAT!"
"Oh my..." Shampoo just smiled cunningly.
"You want Akane be alive or no?" Ranma sat there, thinking to himself.
<If I agree, then Akane will be saved, but... > Ranma faced went through
constant change as he battled with himself. Finally Ranma came to a decision.
Ranma's face drooped as he gave a faint answer.
--------------
Notes: Humm... I didn't know where I wanted to steer this story... I mean I knew
where I wanted to start and where I wanted to end, but not the stuff in-between..
opps ^_^ Oh well... I'd love to here comments/suggestions. Ja na
Oh yeah:
Kami-sama = god (I just didn't want to say god incase it offended anyone...)
