Ah, it was good to be back. Back here in Nerima. Nerima, until five
years ago a chaos central, had been sorted out by Nodoka Saotome,
also five years ago.
Her son had finally made a clean breast of it to her. She, of
course, displayed the tenacity so typical of successful women and
sorted every thing out. All of it, even the complex love triangles
and certain *cough* idiosyncrasies *cough* of the NWC. Amazing, what
women can do. The boys and girls had all, yes, all, even Kodachi,
gone on with their lives and started living properly.
Thank God.
None of the nerimans, in fact, none of the NWC minded it. Strange
really, after threats of mass murder, no one minded. Strange, but
not entirely unpleasant. They started living. Went home, went to
school, started businesses and had other relationships. In short,
they moved on. This brought the man I'm currently writing about
straight back to the thought that was growing in him. Who on earth
had had the idea to have a BBQ any way? He knew kasumi organized it
but kasumi said that some one had given her the idea. Being back,
seeing every one again, not as bad as he'd thought. Especially,
seeing her they hadn't really parted well, but... now she responded
to his letters and was... walking over to him?!
This had to be a dream. Ow! Okay, that hurt, so it wasn't a dream.
She was coming over, smiling at him. Maybe she'd let him try again.
He'd try harder this time, if only...
"Hey there!" she greeted him, happily, almost airily. They made
small talk for a few minutes.
"I need to ask-", she started, "a-are you-", he stammered.
"Oh," she giggled, "you first."
"No," he insisted, "ladies first."
"Okay," she beamed with happiness. "I- I, oh I'm engaged!"
He nearly went to pieces. Nearly. The years of self discipline
helped him hold him self together, but he couldn't keep a quiver
from his voice when he asked, "t-to wh-w-who?"
She leaned over and whispered in his ear.
"oh." The despair, the sorrow would have made her sit up and notice
but... she was in love. Love is such a frightening thing. And yet so
wonderful...
Her fiancée came over to stand beside her.
She continued on, "so, we were wondering if you would be best man at
our wedding. We're having it here. And in two months. And-oh! I'm so
happy."
She prattled on. "We decided to have it here because this is where
we fell in love."
"I-I-I'd be honoured to be best man at y-your wedding."
He would be there. If only...

*two months and one day later.*
The body of Mr. Ranma Saotome was found in the Tendo dojo this
morning. Mr. Saotome, a rising star in the martial arts world,
committed suicide last night at approximately 11pm, after the
wedding of Akane Tendo and Ryoga Hibiki, at which he was best man.
The happy couple departed for their honeymoon in Europe after the
reception yesterday. They have not yet been informed of the tragedy,
in accordance with the note Mr. Saotome left next to his body. This
is Yuka Suyari, for Nerima news.

I'D rather have ryoga. C & C
