A/N: Hello! This is my first fan fiction so please forgive me for any noobie-ness :P Apart from that, I would just like to say, I'm a huge fan of Rumiko Takahashi and Ranma 1/2 happens to be one of my all-time favourites (hence this Ranma 1/2 fan fiction) along with Inuyasha too! ^^
Even though I was quite satisfied with the open ending of the Ranma 1/2 manga, I (and probably a lot of other fans) still can't help wondering over how Takahashi-Sensei would've ended the Ranma 1/2 series if she did a closed ending instead. That's why this fan fiction exists. Here I present to you my thoughts and fantasies of an ending to the Ranma 1/2 series. I hope to explore the lives of every character in Nerima, finally put some sort of an end to the many Ranma-Harems (after having a bit of fun with them first of course ;P), whilst developing Ranma and Akane's relationship throughout the pages with Rumic-Inspired slapstick comedy and writing style along the way! ^-^
This story takes part after the end of the Ranma 1/2 manga and will also include certain Japanese phrases. I hope you'll enjoy it and feedback would be greatly appreciated! :) Now... for the technical parts...
Ranma 1/2 and all the characters within all belong to Rumiko Takahashi. I do not own any of it and have used them without official permission.
This is purely FAN FICTION. I do not own anything except from the plot idea and my own original character: Tsubasa Kaoru.
Please do NOT copy and any copy right infringements on my terms are not intended.
Prologue
"Akane~! There's a letter for you~!"
"Hai~!"
I wonder who this's from? Akane pondered as she scanned over the plain-looking envelope she held firmly in her hands. Tendo Akane it read in neat handwriting. Out of all the weird and wacky people living in her house, it's been a while since anyone sent a letter just for her.
She started to guess at the possibilities. Maybe it was from the local townsfolk? She did win the local lottery last week and was yet to be rewarded for that! She beamed. Or… it could be from Hinako-Sensei from school who recently picked up on the suspicious similarities between her and Ranma's Modern Language essays… Akane felt her posture droop.
Ranma… that baka…
Nonetheless! She has to open it sooner or later anyway, and sooner is better, she convinced herself. Feeling sweat beads starting to form on her forehead, she steadily turned the envelope over to read the return name on the other side.
And froze.
Wait… How could she have missed it? That handwriting she'd spent hours on end trying to duplicate many years before- so neat with confidence?
She tilted her head downwards in a solemn manner as the realisation started to sink in along with her heart. The memories of it all threatened to breakout and infest her weakening mind as she studied the name again. That name she'd once cursed, cried over and even sworn she'd forever erase from her fragile patched-up heart…
Tsubasa Kaoru…
