My Fanfic:

Ok I'm a new and aspiring fanfic author. This is my first fic ever. English is not my first language so expect some grammatical errors. This fic was inspired by some other well-known fics; so don't bother telling me it's been done before. This is my version so bear that in mind. If you are going to review please be gentle, I don't take criticisms very well. So if you have nothing good to say then don't say anything. This is currently untitled because I can't seem to come up with a good name for it. Now on with the story.

Disclaimer:

I don't own Ranma. If I did would I be here?

Slight variation to the ending of the saffron battle saga.

Prologue:

Ranma was too late to save Akane. Akane dies in Ranma's arms. He tries desperately to awaken Akane but to no avail. He tries CPR and he was crying and saying to Akane to comeback. 'Come on tomboy wakeup! I said I love you already come on wake up already. Please!' this goes on for over half an hour while the rest of the group stood behind Ranma stunned and crying as well for they knew already that Akane was gone. Ryouga's tears flowed non-stop and he was bawling loudly. Genma, who was still a panda under the egg spell, stood there not understanding what's going on. Finally, the Jusenkyo guide approached Ranma.

Ranma felt a hand grasp his shoulder and heard the guide's quivering voice. 'Sir, she's gone. I am so sorry we were too late.'

'No!' Ranma's mind screamed. 'Hell no! Akane! Don't leave me!'

Suddenly Ranma stood up and looked around. He saw everyone's sad eyes on him. He felt their eyes giving him a silent subconscious disapproving look. 'You failed Ranma. Now Akane is dead.'

'No!' he yelled. And then he ran. The guide tried to grab him but was too slow. 'No sir!'

Ranma blindly ran for a couple of yards and then stops and quickly scan his surroundings and then he was off.

The guide realizing where Ranma was heading desperately shouted. 'Sir stop! Jusenkyo pools flooded, very dangerous!' Ryouga snapped out of his current state and managed to catch what the guide was shouting and broke in a run and tried to catch up with Ranma.

'Aireen stop!' Shampoo joined Ryouga in catching Ranma.

Ranma reached the edge of the flooded pool and with a loud grunt he leaped as high and as far as he could. Mousse sent his chains flying hoping to grab Ranma's legs but missed them entirely.

Ranma's companions watched helplessly as Ranma landed into the pool with a large splash. Now all they could do was wait and see what was going to happen next. For what seems an eternity for them they waited for Ranma to surface.

And then nothing. Moments later the pool gradually calmed and any trace of Ranma's entry to the pool was gone.

'No! Must help Ranma!' Shampoo screamed and tried to enter the pool but mousse stopped her. 'No shampoo, it's dangerous. You heard the guide.'

The guide cleared his throat. 'A tragic ending. Jusenkyo is cursed in more ways than one.' he thought sadly to himself and then said out loud. 'I'm sorry sirs, he's gone.'
