Wings

***************

Ranma said, Pigs will fly before I marry that uncute tomboy!



The pain in his head, courtesy of the mallet's impact, insured that he did not see the slight glimmer in her eyes. He did not realize that the words hurt, and not only because of his casual insult.

But someone else did see. Kasumi noticed and wished that her sister and her fianceé would finally come to some sort of terms. Nabiki noticed and wondered if the fight would escalate enough that she would need to call someone to again repair the dojo. And Ryouga clenched his fists and considered making Ranma pay for insulting his dear Akane.

***************

If you truly love something, you will let it go.

The boy blinked, shocked at the words that came so near to his own feelings.

I said, If you truly love something, you will let it go,' the old woman said absently as she continued washing the street. This time the water splattered. She looked around in confusion. Where did he go?

***************

Kasumi tapped on his sister's door lightly, and there was wonder in her voice.

What is it? Akane asked, briefly looking up from her homework.

May I come in?



Kasumi opened the door and placed an elaborate kimono on Akane's bed. Akane immediately recognized it as their mother's . . . their mother's wedding kimono?

What's that for, Kasumi?

For your marriage to Ranma.

Akane looked confused.

I think you'd better look out the window, Akane.

Akane glanced down. Nabiki and Ranma stood below, gazing up at something. Nabiki appeared amused, and Ranma's expression was one of complete and utter shock. Akane shifted her gaze upward and saw. P-chan. Making rapid figure eights in the air between two neighboring houses.

I think we'd better start making wedding plans, Akane.

***************

There. I'm sure some variation of this has been told before, but I don't really care. Ranma and Akane have a chance. Because part of hell are frozen over, not all Irish drink, and I've seen P-chan fly. -- Lady Belegwen Lightningblade
