Half a Sacrifice

Disclaimer: Don't own and thing to do with Ranma.

Everybody watched as Ranma and Akane fell from the Heaven blast induced Tornado, ever eye watched as Ranma twisted Akane's unconscious body out of the way. Ever eye watched as they impacted with the ground. A giant dust cloud thrown up.

Akane slowly opened her eyes, coughing, she saw dust every where. Sitting up she started thinking, the last thing she remembered was being in the tornado across from Ranma, so how did she get on the ground and sitting on something soft, without a scratch. She looked down to see Ranma's crushed body. "Ranma." She whispered, shaking him. "Ranma." She shouted shaking him as hard as she could, "Wake up." Ranma flopped to the ground like a rag doll as Akane let him go. The situation hit her. Ranma had sacrificed himself to save her, he had died, tears started from her eyes, the cool, clear crystalline tears fell down her face.

Everyone watched as the dust cleared, they heard Akane shout 'Ranma', but what they saw would shock them to the core. They watched as the two forms became visible, Akane was crying over Ranma's dead body. Time slowed as Akane's first tear landed on Ranma's forehead, the drop that held her love for him. Nobody could move as she cried, all transfixed. Ryoga was the first to move, he stepped tentatively towards Akane.

Akane heard a person walk towards them, but she couldn't move, she wouldn't let herself leave Ranma. She felt a hand rest on her shoulder, looking up she saw Ryoga, "Come on, let's get you cleaned up."

"But..." She argued softly as Ryoga pulled her up and away from Ranma's body.

"He was a great rival Akane, he told us something today." Ryoga looked back at Ranma's body, "He told us that he was still the strongest, no matter how weak. Many would save their own life before saving another."

"Such kind words Ryoga." Came a crackly feminine voice from behind them. "Thank you."

Akane and Ryoga turned so fast you could swear another tornado would appear but there in front of them stood a very battered looking female Ranma but on the ground lay the dead male Ranma. Ranma-Chan looked back at her male body, "He made a sacrifice to save you but also me. The magic gives every Jusenkyo curse victim two lives, one as the original but cursed and a second in the cursed form." She looked back at the two and everyone behind them and smiled "From now on, I'm all woman." Akane bolted forward straight into Ranma-chan, hugging her.

"I just glad your alright."
