"Young Hearts Unyielding."
-By Moonlyte Junko
Chapter two: Ukyou you've saved me!
************************
Ryouga stared at the problem. All through his life, whatever problem he face he barrlled right through it.
But not this one, this problem was invincible. The only way it could be killed...Ryouga lifted his hands up.
Ukyou grabbed his hand in midair,"LIKE FUN ARE YOU GOING TO RUIN MY TEXT BOOK." she shouted.
Ryouga blushed madly. "Let me see the problem first atleast." she said cooling down. She took the seat
next to Ryouga and looked at the problem he was having so much trouble with. She looked up at Ryouga.
"You amaze me." she said. Ryouga couldn't tell from the tone of her voice if that was good or bad.
"Your extreme stupidity amazes me." she said to noone in particular. Ryouga frowned. That wasn't
excatly what everyone young man liked to hear. "Uh.." Ukyou grabbed his neck, although her
small palm couldn't cover all of it, and brought him down towards the book. "Look A= N
so if N=890, what does A equal? Also remember if Y stands for N and N stands for A.."
Ukyou looked up to see Ryouga's eyes glazed over slightly, looking completely lost to what
she was saying. Ukyou smiled,"Let's do this later. You're not getting it." Ryouga
shook off his daze,"Yes, I am! Y stands for N and N stands for A.." he muttered.
Ukyou couldn't believe he remembered that.
***************************
"Egad woman, I really dislike you!" Kuno said at his fiancee. Nabiki Tendo
licked her lips and laughed a bored laugh. "Oh,Kuno-baby, you expect me to
believe that?" she mummered. "Quit mocking me." Kuno snarled. This fight
seemed to have started for no reason, but most likely was started by Nabiki.
Nabiki stood on her tip toes and gave Kuno a small kiss. He shut up.
"uh..uh.." he just gave up on trying to say anything. "I love you Kuno-baby."
Nabiki said with a grin. "A ha ha ha ha!" Kodachi walked in singing
a mantra that her therapist had taught her,"Blue skies..roses..pretty butterflies..
a haa haaa haaaa!" The mantra was suppose to help her gain sanity, for some
reason is seemed like she was loosing more of it. "Oh Kocchan came back from therapy?"
Nabiki had started using that nickname for her soon to be sister in law. Kodachi
nodded,"Today we're learning about why it is not important to use posion."
she said. Nabiki shuddered, before therapy Kodachi's insanity could be classified slightly
above Nerima normal; but now with her chirpy little girl voice and everything she was downright
creepy, like from the Exorcist or something.
******************
"hmmm...where's the haul.." Happosai said to himself as he looked through Akane's
drawers. "Ahem." a voice from behind him said. Ranma leaned against the wall, in
his usual night wear-a t-shirt and boxers. "Can you explain to me why you happen
to be going through my wife's drawers?" Happosai tried to fumble an excuse.
It was too late as he was kicked out the window. "G'morning Ranma." Akane said
and wrapped her arms around her husband's neck, ignoring the old man's screams
from outside. Life was so wonderful. After a few morning kissess Ranma and Akane
came downstairs for dinner. "Hey, Akane? You know I was thinking why don't we go
to Ucc- Ukyou's for lunch?" he asked. Akane nodded, and didn't frown. Ukyou was
her friend, and it wasn't like Ranma was requesting to go to the Cat Cafe. Oh lord
forbid he ever said that, Akane would have to kill her love. "I wonder how
she's been doing lately?" Ranma asked himself.
*********************
"Aggh! It's 189~ 189! You jackass!" Ukyou shouted after Ryouga had starred
at the same problem for twenty minutes. Ryouga cringed and dodged a blunt
metal object,"You don't have to be so aggresive you know." he said.
Ukyou sighed,"Let's go onto the next problem.." she muttered. "Uh, that
one's easy the angle is obtuse." he said. Ukyou smiled,"Good at angles huh? I
thought you were no brains." she said with a smirk. Ryouga glowered at her and
she grinned even wider. "Hey, Ucch-errr..Ukyou!" Ranma shouted, having to get
use to not using the nickname. "Hi, Ranchan!" Ukyou said ignored Akane's
cringe. "Want some Okonomiyaki?" Ranma nodded gleefully. "Great! Move over
dead weight." Ukyou whispered to Ryouga out of the corner of her mouth. "Oh, I
am so sorry I seem to keep forgetting Ranma is god." Ryouga said under his breath
and rolled his eyes. "What's Ryouga doing here?" Akane asked.
"Oh, I'm his informal tutor." Ukyou informed her. Ryouga glanced at
Akane, so beautiful and delicate. He noticed something odd though, on
her ring finger was just that, a beautiful golden ring. Ryouga pulled
her to the side while Ranma made his order. Over the past year, he had learned
to control his feelings so he didn't go red when he touched her, even though
it was still a very hard thing to do,"Uh, Akane what's that ring for?"
Ryouga asked worriedly. Akane looked down at her feet,"Well..I guess I can
trust you Ryouga..but don't tell anyone." she mumbled. Ryouga nodded,"Yeah, what
is it?" he asked. "Ranma..and I are married." Akane whispered quickly so a certain chef
wouldn't hear. Ukyou flipped her Okonomiyaki not watching as Ryouga's heart shattered
into a million peices inside of him.
*********************************
"Well bye Uch-Ukyou, thanks for the lunch!" Ranma said as he and Akane left.
"Well, now that that's done how about we continue." Ukyou looked up to
see Ryouga over in the corner, the air dark around him. "Shi..." he began.
"OH NO YOU DON'T-" Ukyou began.
"Shi..."
A loud sound of a metal spatula hitting bone echoed throughout "Ucchan's."
Ryouga turned around and gave Ukyou a look of absolute angst, then his mind
kicked into gear and his face screwed up in confusion and pain before dropping
to the floor. "Uh, Ryouga, are you.." Ukyou dropped to her knees and picked
the unconcious boy's head up into her lap. She moved his hair out of
his eyes to see him sleeping angelicly. "He looked so sad a moment ago..."
she mummered. He looks pretty cute now though.
**************************************************
The Neko Haten bustled with activity, well most were young boys waiting to see
the main waiter. The amazon beauty, Shampoo. The air around her gave evryone a feeling
of strength and passion. Her bluish-purpilish hair bounched as she walked in a cute
little outfit. And her Ramen did kick butt as well. The boys at the restruant would
watch her walk in and out, a smile seeming to be permanatly splattered on her
face as she served the Ramen. "Shampoo make special shrimp ramen for you." she said
and sat it down in front of one boy giving him a wink. Blood splurted from his nose
and he passed out in his Ramen, Ryouga-style. Shampoo just giggled and bounced
back in to the kitchen. "Eeew! Mousse so stupid!" Shampoo said as the poor amazon
boy had poured tea in with the Ranmen. "Mousse!? You blind, that is not spice
it tea! Stupid Mousse." she shouted. Mousse blushed brightly. "Mousse so stupid,
Shampoo wonder why she even have stupid duck boy around he no like well Ranma. Airen is
best while Mousse is worst!" Shampoo declared really rubbing it in. Mousse sighed and walked
to a far corner, not watching where he was going. Bumping into Shampoo he brought
her falling to the ground. He stood over her,"Xian Pu! I'm so sorry, I.."
he trailed off, in Amazon law he had technically defeated her by sending her to the ground.
Shampoo snarled,"No..........." brushing herself off she walked grumpily up to Mousse.
"Wo ai ni.." she said half heartidly on his lips and kissed him. He slumped to the floor
unconcious soon after.
**********************
"So..uh...Ranma, it's ok if I told one person about the wedding, right?"
Akane asked on the way home. Ranma turned around, eyes wide. "Depends
on who you told..Akane.." he trailed off,"who did you tell exactly?"
he asked. Akane sighed,"Ryouga." Ranma nearly choked,"Do you realize
he can't keep that a secret if his life depends on it!?"
*****************************
Ukyou watched as Ryouga came too. He shook his head around.
"Oh.." he woke up from a nightmare where Ranma and Akane were
hugging and he walked in. She had told him she really wished
he'd let her have her alone time with her husband, and that she hated him.
He woke up to see Ukyou's face, the light from above framing it making
her look like an angel. But he was too depressed to really notice,
"Shi...Shi..Hokkodan!" Ryouga shouted and a beam of light burst through
the ceiling of "Ucchan's" giving it a free skylight. Ukyou bristled with
anger."Ryougaaaaaa..." she started but had seen he had already fallen
back to sleep in her lap. "Ukyou..you've saved me.." he muttered.
He was too sweet to kill. She'd have to wait until he woke up.
