For the Love of Ranma
Chapter 1 – Of Mysterious Letters and Tea Meetings
Ukyo Kuonji flipped an Okonomiyaki cake on her large spatula and sighed.
Ran-Chan, Ran-Chan, Ran-Chan! It seemed like he was going through her mind all day. It was difficult to improve her recipe and style for her cakes if she constantly daydreamed of becoming Ranma's wife!
SLAM!
She almost jumped at the interruption.
Who would be calling at this time of afternoon? Ukyo wondered as she looked up to see who arrived.
It was none other than Ranma Saotome himself, in the flesh, the man she'd been thinking about for the last few hours!
Breathlessly, he slammed his hand on the counter and took a moment to catch his breath.
There he was in that red outfit he wore almost everyday. My, he is so handsome! She told herself as she gazed into his eyes, trying not to get lost in its depths.
She tried not to sound too giggly or girly. "Do you want anything, honey? You look tired. Here have a cake. Where have you been? Here's some ice water."
He nodded as she passed him a glass of which he drank greedily as if he hadn't drunken anything in a year.
After he devoured a cake, he finally spoke. "Dad asked me to deliver a letter to you. I just don't get why it's so important as to not let even me, havea look at it!"
He snorted as he took another bite of a freshly made cake Ukyo just made.
He pulled an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to the girl. "Here you go! Bye, I've got to do another errand before I can actually rest. Oh well, see ya around!"
Ranma waved and exited the building. Ukyo sighed again as she held up the envelope with a dreamy look on her face.
She slipped it in the pocket of the apron she wore over her clothes and went back to her work promising herself she would read it later.
Meanwhile, in the house shared by the Tendos and Saotomes, Genma and Soun were sipping tea.
"So, my friend, what do you propose we do about my son's current 'engagement problem'?"
"It's your fault you promised him to too many women! I mean he can marry only one of them, but there you go and engage him to three girls, including my own!"
"Two girls only actually, but one girl is a Chinese Amazon and according to law, she has to marry him since he defeated her. Not that she minds actually, Ranma has grown up to be such a ladies man! I can't stand it, though. I don't think we have enough money for three marriages, let alone three wives!"
Ranma's father clutched his head in his hands, while Mr. Tendo patted his back. "Don't worry I've got an idea."
Ranma was exhausted. He had just ran all over town to deliver three mysterious letters. To namely: Ukyo, Shampoo, and Akane. All who happened to be his fiancées.
That was the strangest thing about the whole thing. What did those letters say in them?
Punching the wall, he groaned in frustration. He wanted to know!
Author's Notes: Okay, this is stupid. I already know that, but I just wanted to try my hand at animé fic writing. Please review. No flames please. All who care to review will be thanked in the next chapter. That is, if I'm encouraged to write some more.
