(Okay, so far I have 2 Votes/ Ranko/Ryoga, 2 Votes Ranma/Ukyo, and... A -1
Vote for Ranma/Akane...
READY SET GO! And they're off! Ranma/Ukyo and Ryoga/Ranko neck-&-neck while Ranma/Akane seems to have actually started in reverse! Can you believe that Tim? I'm having a hard time with it Bill! Well, it looks like we've just witnessed the start of a great race! With other racers entering at random, who knows who will win in the end? Now it's time for a comercial break.
Okay so basicly its like this: I prefer to have authors notes in the middle of the story in quotes. But your right, P.H. Wise, it does take away from the narative flow so I'm gonna try real hard not to do it but don't blame me if I accidentally put somethin' in there! (IT'S NOT ME! IT'S MY HANDS! I CAN'T CONTROL MY HANDS! HELP ME!) As to just about everything else you said, all will be explained in the story. I had actually already thought of a way around the Herb problem, but telling you what it was would be cheating! Yes I know where the story is going and how it will end! I wrote it right here on my hand... oh no! I knew I shouldn't have taken a shower this morning! What will I doooooo?!
Nah, I'm kiddin'. I'm good. I got it all down. Fer those who don't like my story (which I am happy to tell you that there hasn't been anyone in the reviews!) well, sorry. I'll keep it goin' cuz it's doin' better than my other stories. And sorry about screwin' up who was in the Saffron movie. Just pretend everyone who wasn't there in the actual movie were there in this fic. (Which is just about everyone) Okay on with the show!

Chapter 2: Cetra's Rebirth
In Ranma's dream. Ranma is in darkness. Walking with no where in particular to go. As he is walking he sees a mirror. In that mirror is his girl form. She speaks but he can't hear her and walks toward the mirror. As he comes close he realizes that no sound is coming from the mirror at all. He was right in front of the mirror. He watched her as she spoke soundless words. She could see him and him her, but she wasn't talking to him. She was talking to something else.
//Sooo tthhhaaatt's yyyooouuurr nnnaaammeee//
"What, name? My name is Ranma!" Ranma spoke to what looked like no one.
//Nnnooottt yyyyooouuuuu, Rrraaannnnmmmaaa//
"Well, who then, damn it!" Ranma yelled.
//Hhhheeeeerrrrr//
"Her? Her, who?" he asked. He shifted from a standing position to sit down cross legged and listen to what this voice has to say.
//Yyyoooouuuurrr cccuuurrrrsssseeedddd sssiiidddee//
"My cursed...? You mean my girl side?!" he asked.
//Yyyyeeeessss//
"She's alive! Your telling me the fifteen hundred year old girl that drown in the spring at Juosenkyo is A.L.I.V.E!?" Ranma screeched, his eyes wide.
//Yyyyeeeessss//
"You can talk to her! Why can't I talk to her! She's been watching everything I've done! Who is she?!" he spoke untill he began to babble.
//Oooonnnnneeee qqquuuueeessstttiiiiooonnn aaattt aa tttiiiimmme//
//Hhheeerrr nnnaammmeee iisss Llllaaarrrriiiiaaaaattthhh. Ssshhheee hhhasss bbbeeennnn wwwiiiittthhhh yyyoouuu ssssiiinnnccceee Jjjoouussseeennkkyyoo. Shheee hhhaaass ttoolldd mmeee//
"Jeez! First of all who are you!? And second of all, can't you speak clearly? I can't imagine how you write!" Ranma said.
//Iiii aaammm ttthhheee ppplllanneettt ooonnn wwwhhhiiiccchhh yyyoouuu wwwaalllkk. Iiii aaammmm ttthhheee lliffeeesstrreeeaaamm. Mmmyyy ssspppeeeeaaaccchhh iiissss fffinneee!//
"Well, uh, could you, like, try noootttt... ah hem, not to slur you words? Your hard to understand," Ranma asked.
//Ii wwiill ttrryy//
"Better, Okay. Now, who is Lariath?" Ranma asked
//Ii wwiill ttrryy too exxpllaiinn//
//Llaariiath's mmoothher, Ilfana, sseennt Laarriiathh too mmeee ttooo avvooiidd thhe hhaarrddsshiipps ooff heerr owwn pllannet. Ii kneeww shhee camme heeree but I kneww nothing of her powers unnttiill, yyouu ttoouucchhheedd mee. I ffouund that I could talk to you. That she wwass an Ancient, aa Cceetra. Nnnoowww sshheee wwiill mmeeeld with you untill you become an ancient yourself. Yyoouu wiill bbee abblee to talk ttoo heer. Affter thhat... I doonn't know.//
(Sorry, couldn't resist. I just need to tell you all that I can't write like that anymore. It's to painful. So when the planet talks just pretend its drawn out and slurred but I'm writting it normal. Ok, sorry, back to the story now.)
"What powers?" Ranma asked.
//She, and now you, have the ability to talk to me//
"That doesn't sound like much," Ranma said.
//Fool, I can guide you to the promised land of my world! I can give you the power of my mako! Crysalized Lifestream! The ultamate magic! Materia!//
"Okay! Now you've caught my intrest! Tell me!" he asked.
//I can't//
"WHAT! Why not!? You just said you could!!" Ranma asked infuriated.
//Because your waking up and I can't talk to you while your awake yet, clearly enough for you to understand because your leaving the area closest to my lifestream//
"Uh... heh heh, sorry. When will I see, no wait, hear you again?" Ranma asked feeling like a dunce.
//Soon//
Ranma woke up.
Meanwhile on the deck.
"Ukyo? What are you doing up here?" Ryoga asked.
"Can't sleep," she said. "How bout' you?"
"Uh, heh heh! I... can't sleep either!" he answered nervously with a sweatdrop on the back of his head and a goofy smile on his face.
"You can't find you room!" she realized. "Hee, well sugar, I guess I'll have to take you there!"
"N..no! I can find my room! I'm not joking!" he replied anxiously.
"Ryoga, your a bad liar, now come on!" she said in a much lighter mood then before because of the bit of comedy.
"Huh, fine, I'm lost!" he finally admited.
"I thought so," she answered. "Follow me,"
Ryoga did as told and was soon safe and sound in his room on the boat.
"You'll be alright from here now won't you Ryoga?" Ukyo asked.
"I'll be fine!" Ryoga answered.
"Okay, goodnight then!" she said as she left.
When Ukyo got back to her room she found it much easier to sleep. Ryoga was much alike.
//\\Ryoga//\\
"Well, Ukyo was really nice leading me back, but she didn't have to make such a big deal out of me being lost. Still..." he thought
//\\Ukyo//\\
"Ryoga, cheered me up enough to make it through the night. He's so funny how he always get lost. That may just be the only reason I would never like him. I'd spend all my time waiting on him to get home!" she thought.
Elsewhere on the boat.
"What a dream!" Ranma whispered.
He looked around the room to get a good veiw of his surroundings. It was the middle of the night and he was in a small room with one bed, occupied at the moment by Akane, a bathroom of to the right, and a dresser with a built in mirror attached to it.
"Akane, you stayed here all night with me! Wow, I didn't think you cared about me at all! Even after... Saffron," Ranma thought.
Ranma could hear her light breathing constantly proving beyond a doubt that she was asleep.
"I guess I'll let her sleep," he thought as he left the room and headed out toward the deck to wait for sunrise. Once there he saw Mousse sleeping near a purple towel.
"Poor guy," he thought.
He walked toward the railing and looked toward the control room and saw Kuno steering the boat without a bloodstreak in his eye at all.
"How does he do that? Staying up this late without being tired at all," Ranma thought as he yawned. He looked out to the sea and watched the small waves and the moon glowing on the surface of the water.
"Wow," he thought.
He waited for sunrise, thinking everything that had happend while he slept was a dream. He was in for a surprise.
A few hours later.
The sun had began it accent and was just peaking out over the ocean. All Ranma could see in any direction was water. With Kuno on the wheel who knows where they could be?
"AWAKEN! MY CREW FOR THE DAWN IS AT HAND!" Kuno's voice blared over every intercom on the boat which was about fifty waking everyone up.
"Five minutes later Kuno is floating in the ocean with a lifesaver around him tied to the boat while Shampoo had been deemed trustworth and granted permission to steer the yacht since she most likely knew the way back. She did of course.
"So Ranma, you better now or am I gonna' have to knock you unconcious again?" Ryoga asked.
"I had a dream last night but the voices stopped, It was probably nothin'. And speaking of which... DID YOU HAVE TO HIT ME SO HARD! THAT STILL HURTS!" Ranma yelled.
"Ha, some man you are!" Ryoga taunted.
"Ah, what do you know!" Ranma said as he walked away steaming.
"Well, that's a new one. I don't think Ranma heard what I said. He never lets someone question his manhood. Mabye somethin' is wrong with him," Ryoga thought.
"WE NEAR JAPAN NOW! EVERYBODY READY!" Shampoo's voice sounded, much more quiet than Kuno's, over the intercom.
"Home, sweet home," Ranma thought.
Three hours later they had all made it back to where the belonged. Ryoga in Okynawa, Ranma and the Tendo's at home, the Amazons at the Nekohaunten, and Ukyo at Uuchan's Okonomiaki.
Unknown to Ranma the last known Cetra alive is waking up inside of him.
(I'm sorry people but I'm startin' to edge toward the Ranko/Ryoga pairing. Sorry if that bothers any of you. I think I'm gonna have Akane get kidnapped. (AGAIN!?) Thus starting off the true motives of the main villian who's name and origin probably won't be mentioned untill like five chapters from now. Well, untill next time later!)
