Glad to know you people love me... THREE REVIEWS Oh come on. I know every writer has down times but this is rediculous!
The only advantage was that they were all good ones... but... I'd rather have 6 reviews and 3 be good than just 3 good ones. Come ON! I need em... there the light of my life... Well, no. But they do make me feel confident I'm writing for someone.
Thank you to the three people who did review.
On with the show.

"Ok... for the last time, I don't have any of this Chi stuff! Ok? I just don't so forget it! I don't even wanna go in there! Why do I gotta-!" Aaron was cut off.
"Because I said so! If this guy is a friend of Ranko's and thinks you can help, YOUR GONNA HELP!" Shannon screamed.
"Heh heh... O..Ok... heh!" Aaron gulped.
"Well, your going to have to learn to use your chi. You use it when your angry well enough... you just don't know it. Have any of you ever seen a small very thin red line outlining Aarons body when he is very angry?" Paul asked.
"...Aaron...gets angry?" Shannon asked stupidly.
"Um... Aaron never really gets angry sir, the only time he real gets mad is when... well, I gues he did just a minute ago..." Leah said.
"I see. We'll have to get you angry somehow... Hmm," Paul said and then sat on his bed to think.
"Um.. sir? What is your, uh... reading on that scale?" Shannon asked.
"My best is around 60,000," Paul answered quickly.
"60,000!!!! Well! Why don't you just go and beat the Black V yourself? Your surely strong enough!" Aaron shouted.
"Hoo Hooo Hooooo, no boy I wouldn't stand a chance in that place! My little brother has a power of about 111,000!" Paul said lightheartedly.
"...Huh? Wait then what makes you think I could make it!?" Aaron yelled. His face was turning red with anger.
"Gut, and instinct," Paul answered firmly. "Oh and this," Paul placed the scanner on Aaron.
"29,642" it read aloud.
"Oh, boy..." Jess muttered.

"...I knew she could kick Claust's ass. I just didn't know she could literally pin him to the ceiling..." Luc thought as he walked into the middle of the ground that had been a battle field a few minutes ago.
"DAMNIT! GET ME DOWN YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING BASTARD! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING JUST STANDING DOWN THERE SMIRKING YOUR LITTLE ASS OFF!!!! GET-URK! BOSS!" Claust yelled.
From his completely humiliating position, face toward the ceiling, pinned armes and legs spread, Claust saluted, banging his head on the ceiling and falling limp.
"Get down you Idiot!" The Black Man yelled.
"I uh... I can't sir!" He replied saluting and once again hitting his head on the ceiling. (Damn Reflexes heh!)
"WHY NOT!... OH!... hmm, that girl is strong... Very, to do somthing like this. I'm amazed!" He said realizing something the others couldn't figure out. No one except him had yet noticed that there was absolutly nothing visible that was pinning Claust to the ceiling.
"...Hmm, It should stop right about.... Now."
"AHHH!!URG!" Claust screamed as he fell from the ceiling and landed with a boom on the floor a few feet away from where the Black Man now stood.
The Black Man walked over to the unconcious girl in the middle of the floor. After she finished fighting Claust she fell unconcious. Then he, without warning, flew up and was pinned to the ceiling by no apparent force. This woke him up as Ranma had allready beaten him into a bloody pulp for kidnapping her. Ranma now lay in the middle of the floor unconcious with a white light surrounding her.
"That girl can control her ki unconsiously. Eliminate her Claust," the Black Man said.
"But sir! I but! But..!... How sir?" Claust sighed.
"Throw her off a cliff, stab her with a knife, or shoot her. I dont' care just get the job done! She is stronger than the scanner read, Luc. That ability takes 160,000 at least," The Black Man said.
"Dyne! I can't touch her!" Claust yelled.
Luc gasped.
"I've told you many times not to say my name Claust," Dyne said.
"I'm sorry sir! It won't happen again, I promise I... No! NOT THE FLAIL! UGH!" Claust cried as a great spiked metal ball flew at him and sent him flying into a nearby wall.
"Wait till the technique dies down. It can't stay up forever." Dyne said and then walked back to his sanctum.
"...You idiot," Luc smirked and walked away leaving the half dead Claust to wake up and get his job done.
Suddenly a voice rang in his head.
"Luc.." It said.
"Huh? Who's there?" Luc stuttered.
//The Jusenkyo Spirit...//
"Jusenkyo.. Jusenkyo that was what Ranko was looking for!" Luc cried.
//She has remembered it//
"Where are you!?" Luc asked the air. He was thankful that Claust was unconscious.
//Gaurding Ranma//
"Who is Ranma! Do you mean Ranko?" Luc asked more calm now.
//No I mean Ranma. Protect her. Do not let her die. I want to rest. She will bring it//
"She will bring your rest?" Luc asked.
//Ay. Goodbye now human. Should you fail in this task you will be sent to my springs to live in the eternal waters and never move again//
"Gulp...Ok..heh I'll see what I can do." Luc said.
//Your Choice, Eternally locked in water or living. I hope you enjoy whichever choice you pick//
"Uh... Yeah," Luc said.
"..."
"Well, face the boss or some evil spirit? Interesting life I have, eh?" Luc asked the air.

(This'll be a surprise to ya)
"Akane! Time for dinner!" Kasumi yelled in her cheerful way.
"I'm not hungry onii-chan," Akane yelled. back down.
"Akane you havn't eaten anything all day!" Kasumi exclaimed.
"Don't worry about it Kasumi, I'll... I'll be fine," Akane said.
Akane lay in her bed. Apparently she was sick. In a way she was but not really.
"I know what this is about. It's about Ranma isn't it?" Kasumi told her.
"...Yes," Akane replied.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he'll come back! After all he's only been gone a half a year! Nabiki will track him down, no doubt about it!" Kasumi said with an unusual pleasantness as always.
"...Kasumi, you don't know anything. He left because of me. It's my fault he's gone it's...-STOP THAT!" Kasumi interupted harshly.
"It isn't your fault!" Kasumi said plainly.
"How do you know?" Akane asked.
"I just do Akane. And you should, too! Ranma will come back," Kasumi stated.
There was a period of odd silence. Kasumi sighed and simply said, "If you want to eat something it's downstairs."
"...I love him, Kasumi," Akane said.
Kasumi smiled. "It took long enough. All this for you to realize that?" Kasumi asked. It was more of a statement.
Kasumi left.
P-Chan the pig sat in a cage nearby so he wouldn't "get lost." He wanted to scream and cry and get out and run away to Akari. At least she could keep him company and love him. But.. this was hell here. So... evil. Akane... and Ranma?... He could stand it! He had to run. Had to hide. Had to-
"Come on P-Chan, sniff, lets take a bath,"
Had to die.
"DAMN YOU RANMA!!!!!!!" Ryoga thought as he was brought to his deathbed... the bathroom.
**************************
It's just not the same around here. No battle's between me and Shampoo. No cures to hunt. No fiancees to rescue or be rescued... No free Okonomiyaki to give to anyone. Just searching.... Why do I do this anyway. If Ranma's gone he obviously doesn't want to be found. I don't.really.. I don't love that jerk! He's a cassanova and loves Akane! Not me! Why would Ran-chan love me? I'm half boy for god sakes! Maybe I should just dissappear. Just like Ranma. Find some place good for me. Some place peaceful where I can just cook my Okonomiyaki without fighting every day... That's what I'll do. I'll pack my things and just leave.
So I closed my shop... for the last time tonight. I left a letter on the grill where Konatsu would find it. I left my shop to him and don't care what he does with it.
Goodbye Nerima.... Konatsu. Goodbye everyone.
And Ukyo was never seen by the city of Nerima again.
***************************
"RANMA!! AIREN!!! WHERE YOU HIDE!!!!" Shampoo cried into the morning sky. She was back home in the forests of the Quing Hai province of Chine (That's right, right?) She was about a mile from Jusenkyo. She hoped she'd find answers there. But for some reason she doubted it.
"Great grandmother, this hopeless. Ranma could be anywhere in world by now!" Shampoo cried to the crone.
"I never expected you to give up, Shampoo," Colone said.
"..."
"Well, were almost to Jusenkyo, maybe we will find something there," Colone told her.
"Yes, Great-grandmother." Shampoo monotoned.
About three hours later they finally make it to the Cursed Springs. They were walking at a slow pace to serch as extensively as possible. This is the cause of their delay.
"Ah, Honored elder of the Joketzoku, (I think) what brings you to the springs today? I hope not to curse your great granddaughter again?" The guide said.
"No, we are here searching for someone. Do you know if a man came this way who had a male/female Jusenkyo curse?" Colone asked.
"Yes, She passed through about four months ago," the guide told them.
"WHAT! YOU KNOW WHERE HE GO?" Shampoo asked.
"Yes. But he was a she at the time. She went to... to... uh.. Cambodia that's it! Yes she wen't to a faraway place called cambodia to search for a cure to-" But he was cut of.
"GREAT GRAND MOTHER LETS GO! AIREN SEEKING CURE IN CAMBODIA!" Shampoo cried.
"Alright, Shampoo. Lets go then," Cologne said. And they left.
"Oh, dear It wasn't Cambodia! WAIT!" The guide cried, but they were long gone.
********************
"I search. That's all I do now. I've broken my engagement to Akari. Akane hates me, I think. I deserve it too I think. But that's not my purpose anymore. I seek him. If I were to actually marry Akane... I still think I would seek him... He was my first friend. He knew some of my pain. He helped me home back then even though I didn't remember because of my blind hate at him for skipping out on the duel. And inside, I know I'll never be with Akane... She loves Ranma. Surely. She told me herself. I can't stand it. So I've tried to leave Nerima, but I'll wind up there anyway. With my luck I alway's wind up where I don't want to be. If Ranma stays away from Akane... That's why I would search for him... To make Akane happy... That is my goal in life.

"..."
Sometimes I wonder why I write these things down on paper. I just end up keeping them in my bag and never seeing them again.
Ryoga stood and left the paper. He didn't notice his dog come take the paper and disappear through the bushes he came from.
*****************************
"That evil witch. She took my Ranma-sama from me! I'll find her and kill her! Your doom is coming pigtailed girl! AHAHAHAHAHAHHAH-URK" Says Kodachi as she runs into a low tree branch and falls unconcious.
*****************************
"Nabiki Tendo! What has happened to my beauteous pigtailed girl!? She has dissappeared from life itself! The evil Sorcery of Saotome isn't it! He's taken her to his castle in Whales! I shall rescue-URK!" Says Kuno as Nabiki bangs him over the head with a mallet she obtained from Akane since he wasn't using it.
*****************************
"I wish my Shampoo would come home to me. I know she will come to me some day. I can see it. She doesn't love that cur Saotome... does she? I just can't tell anymore. If only I weren't blind!" Mousse thought.
Walking around the Nekohanten cleaning he looks outside at the mailbox.
"I might as well go get it," He sighed.
Once he opens it, he expects to find letters to Cologne and Shampoo from friends at home, bills and things of that nature. But what he finds surprises him.
"My father? Mail from my Father? Since when does he care about me?" Mousse thought.
Dear Son,
I hope this gets to you. I know you think I abandoned you but I didn't. I left for a reason. I knew of your blindness and wanted to fix it. That is why I left you when you were young. I went to Hong Kong to begin to save money. I have a docter here where I live who will preform an operation called laser sergery on your eyes. You will be able to see again... That is if you take the offer. Come to Hong Kong... It's been so long since I've seen you. I want to know what my son looks like. . A ticket for the journey is in the envelope as is some money and directions to get you to my house.
With love, your father Mi- Rror.
Mousse was allready packing.
"Thank you, kami," he wispered.

"Well... I can't touch her untill the damn glow settles down.... At least I don't think I can..." Luc thought. He reached down to her and found that his hand passed though the light harmlessly.
"I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm gonna get killed for treachery," Luc thought.
He picked her up. Her only visible body parts were her toes. Basicly Luc was simply holding a very bright white light. When he picked her up he realized she was as light as the air itself.
"Amazing," he thought aloud.
He ran toward the upper levels. Three floors up he met people.
"Hey, Luc what the hell is that?" An underling of his asked.
"None of your business, scum!" He cried back in his usuall temper to his underlings. He hated his position. The only way to control those who wouldn't listen was force. He was the one always dumped with the job of shutting up the weaklings.
Two floors further up he stopped.
"What am I doing? I should just kill her like the boss wanted," he thought.
And suddenly the light his hands were engulfed in began to burn his hands. Raw chi tearing away his flesh. He quickly pulled them away to find them in a much better condition than he had thought. Blacked to a crispy critter but still ok.
"Ok, nevermind!" he cried to the ball of light.
He touched it again and it was allright agian. He picked her up and head to the next and last floor and finally walked out of the exit.
"Made it I think." Luc thought.
Luc walked a few blocks away from the base. Still in the slums near the bad side of town he met a two people walking in the other direction.
"Luc!" Aaron called. "What are you doing here! And what is THAT?!"
"Ah so this is the Infamous Luc," Paul muttered.
"Uh... Aaron..." Luc stuttered.
"I SEE! YOU LIKE RANKO! YOU WENT IN TO SAVE HER!" Aaron cried.
"Ranko?" Luc said. He looked down and then found that the light he finally dissappeared and Ranko lay in his arms.
"Uh, yeah that's it," Luc said said sarcastically.
"Well, why else would you go in on your own!" Aaron asked.
"Uh.."
"Oh well, I guess it's not so dangerous in there after all Paul!" Aaron said happilly knowing that he wouldn't have to risk his life.
"Yes, it appears so," Paul said.
"Now Luc, do you know what Chi is? How?" Aaron asked.
"Gulp,"
(Sorry this took so long but oh well. I hope you like it! Ja Ne and Lata!)
The only advantage was that they were all good ones... but... I'd rather have 6 reviews and 3 be good than just 3 good ones. Come ON! I need em... there the light of my life... Well, no. But they do make me feel confident I'm writing for someone.
