No Depression
Chapter the Last:
Back.
You know what, I do own Ranma ½ , also, sliced bread? Totally my idea.
It had been over a week since the fireball incident, and of Ryoga, there had been no sign.
"Miss?"
"Hmm?" Ukyo answered groggily. The man indicated the carbonized remains of what had once been his breakfast.
"Uh...on the house?" she answered sheepishly. He nodded. Ukyo sighed, she had burned more food in the last week than she ever had in the rest her life. She hadn't been sleeping well either, not that she was worried or anything, that idiot could take care of himself. Stupid Ryoga, making her waste food, he was in so much trouble when he got back.
"Miss, you're burning it again." said the man, hesitantly.
"DAMMIT!" she snarled. Then immediately looked apologetic.
"I'm so sorry sir, I'll do another one...for..." She saw something familiar and yellow out of the corner of her eye. Ignoring the man entirely, she vaulted the counter and dashed out into the street.
0-0
Ryoga was walking along brooding over the cruel machinations of fate. Why did Ranma always get the girls? Was it because chicks really did dig assholes? Did nice guys really finish last? As he contemplated this he was struck by something: Ukyo. With a tackle that would have brought a tear to the eye of even the most insane high school football coach, she knocked him onto his back and straddling his hips she fisted both of her hands into his shirt and shook him violently back and forth.
"YOU!"
+SHAKE-SHAKE+
"BASTARD!"
+SHAKE-SHAKE+
"YOU!"
+SHAKE-SHAKE+
"LEFT!"
+SHAKE-SHAKE+
"ME!"
+SHAKE-SHAKE+
"I!"
+SHAKE-SHAKE+
"WAS!"
+SHAKE-SHAKE+
"SO!"
+SHAKE-SHAKE+
"WORRIED!"
+SHAKE-SHAKE++SHAKE-SHAKE++SHAKE-SHAKE++SHAKE-SHAKE++SHAKE-SHAKE++SHAKE-SHAKE++SHAKE-SHAKE++SHAKE-SHAKE++SHAKE++SHAKE-SHAKE++SHAKE-SHAKE++SHAKE-SHAKE++SHAKE-SHAKE+
Finally she stopped shaking and pulled him into an embrace.
"Does this mean you're not dumping me?" questioned Ryoga once his head had stopped spinning.
"Yes." she whispered into his ear.
"Um...yes you are or yes you're not?" she rolled her eyes.
"No, I'm not dumping you."
"But Ranma..." he protested.
"It wasn't Ranma, it was his mother."
"Oh." said Ryoga, as if that explained everything. She continued.
"You'd know that if you'd bothered to listen to the rest of the conversation." She paused in thought for a second then smacked him upside the head and frowned.
"Ow."he protested, but she continued unsympathetically.
"and what kind of girl do you think I am that I would run off with some other guy after all we've been through?"
"So then..."asked Ryoga, still a little behind. Ukyo groaned.
"I love YOU, you stupid jackass!" then she kissed him passionately. After several minutes, when they needed air Ryoga said:
"Um...Ukyo, could you get off of me?"
"Why?" she answered in a husky voice.
"Everyone's staring at us." she looked up and saw the crowd gathered around watching the young chef straddling her boyfriend's lap in the middle of the street. She turned a deep crimson and instantly jumped to her feet. She laughed nervously, rubbed the back of her neck and jerked Ryoga up onto his feet.
"Miss," inquired the man from before, who had followed her outside. "My food?"
THE END
Epilogue:
For Those About to Rock...(what?)
Two weeks later, in the mountains of Japan:
"Bakusai Tenketsu!"
+CRACK+
"Whoo-hoo! I did it!"
"Try it again, just to be sure."
"Bakusai Tenketsu!"
+CRACK+
"That's great Ukyo. Now I'll untie you."
"Hurry, these ropes chafe." he cut the ropes holding her to the rock. And flushed lightly as she stretched her stiff limbs.
"Um, Ukyo, there's one thing I've been meaning to ask you."
"Yes?" She answered in a sultry voice. He continued obliviously.
"Why did you only bring one tent?"
She showed him. All night, the next day, and part of the day after that.
A/N: thats it, I'm done, and like Apollo Creed said at the end of Rocky "ain't gonna be no rematch." of course after that they had three more fights, but still, I'm out of ideas.
FangirlLynHibiki: fan art would be awesome, please tell when it's finished and where I can go look at it.
I'd like to thank some people so feel free to skip this bit:
Ninnik Nishukan; who's support early on kept me from quitting.
Tigerdreams and ClanCrusher for all their help and general beta-ing without which I would have quit.
My regular readers, all 300 of you, who kept me from quitting.
Everyone who reviewed, for not being H8rs and who also kept me from quiting,
My idiot buddy Dana, who would have made fun of me had I quit.
And Takahashi-obasan(sp) for creating the characters and not putting them together, thus giving me a reason to write this.
