AN: Welcome to By Ranma, for Ranma. Each chapter its own story as might have been written by a character in the story itself. Each chapter tries to capture the essense of the characters' personalities, beliefs and fantasies.

Chapter 1 – By Ryoga
Ryoga Hibiki was striding boldly along a trail. He had just finished his final training session, guarenteeing his victory over the evil womanizer, Ranma Saotome.
"Today, I will finally be able to tell Akane how I feel about her." said Ryoga.
By using his pure heart and true love for Akane, Ryoga had no trouble locating Akane's house. He walked calmly up to the door and knocked on it three times.
"Ryoga!" said Akane, blushing furiously, "you shouldn't risk coming here like this, that evil womanizer Ranma is nearby."
"Don't worry Akane," said Ryoga, "I've been training hard and now I'm finally strong enough to defeat him."
"Oh Ryoga, I'm so happy!" said Akane, pulling him into a tight hug.
"HEY," said Ranma, as he came into view, Shampoo hanging on him by one arm, and Ukyo on the other, "Akane belongs to me, get off of her!"
"I shall no longer allow your womanizing ways to continue," Ryoga said boldly, "I have trained hard, and now I shall vanquish you!"
"Ha!" said Ranma foolishly, "if you can defeat me, on my word you can have all of my girls!"
Before he even knew what happened, Ryoga rushed forward and hit Ranma with a brilliant uppercut, sending him soaring.
"Oh Ryoga," said Akane, "your so strong!"
"Ryoga beat Ranma, Shampoo belong to Ryoga now!"
"Ooh, I belong to you too!" said Ukyo, howling in delight.
"I am not an evil womanizer like Ranma," said Ryoga virtuously, "I will not accept Ranma's women as some prize to be won."
"In that case," said Ukyo, "I guess I'll go help Ranma. Even though he is a fool and not nearly as dashing as you, I still love him nevertheless. Perhaps now that I am the only woman in his life, we can have a proper relationship."
"I wish you the best of luck," said Ryoga galliantly, "I only hope you can find that which you desire."
"Shampoo want to stay!" Shampoo said excitedly. "Ryoga so much strong and handsome than Ranma!"
"Sorry Shampoo, but my heart belongs only to Akane," said Ryoga poetically, "I believe you should try to mend you relationship to Mousse.
"Is true I like Mousse," said Shampoo, "even though he is like candle to you solar inferno of manliness, I must be content."
Shampoo left to go find Mousse, leaving Ryoga and Akane alone at last.
"Is it true what you said earlier," asked Akane, "that you truly love me, as I have loved you all these years?"
"Yes," said Ryoga, as his beauty put the setting sun to shame, "Truely, I have loved you all along."
"Oh, Ryoga!" Akane said.
Akane hugged Ryoga close to her, and leaned in to kiss him, but Ryoga put a finger to her lips keeping them seperated, as a worried look crossed his face.
"Akane, before we go on, there is something I must tell you," said Ryoga valliantly, "I feel that to neglect to do so would be dishonorable."
"You know that whatever you tell me will never change my feelings for you," said Akane passionately, "but if you feel there is something you must tell me, please do."
"Your special blindness has afforded me much happiness in the past," Ryoga said honestly, "but I feel that you must know that I am the one you call P-Chan."
"Oh is that all," said Akane, beaming joyusly, "my blindness has been by design! I knew from the first time I saw P-Chan that he was you, for how could another shape distract the truth of my love for you! I wish I could have told you sooner, but I knew that my feigned ignorance was the only way I could be with you, with that lout Ranma dogging my every step."
"Ahh, I knew there must be a method to it! Truly your wit and wisdom have even surpassed my own!" Ryoga said bemusedly.
"No doubt you knew deep down as well," said Akane, "and kept it from your self, knowing that such dangerous knowledge might serve to drive us apart but no longer!"
With that, Akane surged forward to bring her lips to Ryoga's, their kiss melted the heavens with envy at the true love they had found in each other, and returned love to the world of the mortals once more.
A few days later Ryoga and Akane were married, they were followed by Moose and Shampoo a few months later, and eventually the newly humbled Ranma found his love for Ukyo, and they got married as well, but Ryoga and Akane were the happiest of all, because each day they spent together their love grew and grew, knowing no bounds as they stayed together throughout their life and beyond.
Chapter 1 – End.
AN: Thank you for reading the first chapter of By Ranma, For Ranma. Each chapter is intended to be written in a distinctly different style, does this sound like something Ryoga would write? Please tell me what you think. Thanks.
