AN: hello people. Why am I keeping on this? I don't know. The true is because I have to comply a bet so is this or pays the money a lot of. So it better to write and I can practice my English. Now we know the identity of the second one who was engulfed by Ryouga's Dark Shi Shi Hokoudan. Why her? I like someone sane enough who could help both Shinji and Ryouga, and Ukyo is (if Ranma is not involved).
Disclaimer:
AUTOR: do I have to do this?
AUTOR'S LAWYER: If you don't want to go jail…
AUTOR: aright…#cough# I don't own anything of Ranma and NGE, the idea of them is from the mighty Rumiko Takahashi-sama and tensai Anno-sama respectively. So if you are planning to make money don't think to sue besides I can only give you a headache because I got nothing.

ANOTHER POINTLESS RANMA FIC

CHAPTER 3
"UKYO…imygodihurtherimygodihurtherimygodihurtherimygodihurther" Ryouga stared to panic and run in circles like a little girl.
"STOP IT, BEHAVE LIKE A MAN" Shinji tried to calm his frantic friend. ´hey where did that come from? It feels good´.
"But…but…but look at her" Ryouga stuttered.
"Don't worry she is just unconscious" after being Ryouga's punching bag and piloted the Evangelion, He knew about injuries and Ukyo's were minimal.
"Are you sure"
"Yes, she just need some rest" with that Shinji picked a cloth and a bottle of water. So he could clean a bruise in her cheek. Ryouga feeling guilty tried to help but still nervous loose his grip for the bottle and its content poured on him.
Blinking, Shinji tried to understand. He knew about Ryouga's aversion to water, but he was no told about it. Still he couldn't understand it just water why Ryouga petrified himself with that face of terror.
"um…Ryouga are you ok"
"Bweee…uh? Am I still human?" a very surprised Ryouga answered.
"Yes, did you expect to change into some kind of pig or something" Shinji Chucked.
"…"
"Ryouga?" Shinji started to poke lost boy's arm looking for a response. And it came.
"YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS" Ryouga's suddenly yelling threw Shinji on his ass. And a crazy Ryouga began to kick and punch everything but Shinji and the unconscious Ukyo. Finally after a while when he calmed himself, he saw that Ukyo was waking up.
"Ukyo are you…"
#CLANG#
"ok?"
"She looks fine to me" Shinji responded.
"YOU JACKASS, NOT ONLY YOU STOLE MY FOOD BUT YOU ALSO HIT ME" a very irritated Ukyo shouted a very surprised and scared Ryouga.
"Wait I can explain that"
#CLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANG#
"Ok sugar you can talk now" a calmer Ukyo was ready to listen, but obviously Ryoiga was not in shape to speak. Seeing this Shinji made a bold move and started to talk her after all Ryouga had saved him it was time to returning the favor.
"er…we…uh" it was Shinji we are talking about.
"Split it now" growled Ukyo
Shinji Flinched but somehow recover some courage to talk "we were wandering and our food was finished…he smelled something and…saw your food and ate them. I' sorry" he bowed his head in shame.
"And now what am I going to do? Sugar" she asked
"Ano…you…can have it" he handed her a chocolate bar he bought in a town some days ago.
Ukyo's features softened before Shinji's honesty and kindness. ´Perhaps I was too hard on him. He seems to be shy but he is a nice person´. With that the politely returned the bar to Shinji. But he insisted.
"Please, accept it so you can eat something"
"Ok" Ukyo frowned a bit but accepted the bar. She uncovered it and sliced by the half giving one of the halves to Shinji.
"There you can have this"
"But…"
"Hey are you going to say no to a pretty girl?" she teased.
Shinji blushed, as he took his half of the bar stuttering nonsense. Ukyo giggled after all her self esteem was low because Ranma has chose Akane over her the ´cute fiancée´. So she felt right that someone could see her cute.
"Now what are you going to eat?" a very concerned Shinji asked Ukyo.
"Don't worry sugar, there is a town near so we can eat at some restaurant"
Digging his hands into his pockets and bowing his head a very ashamed Shinji said "But we don't have any money"
"Neither do I"
"Umm?"
"Don't worry about it, we can wash some dishes to pay our meals don't you thing"
Shinji nodded. But this time Ryouga started to wake up ordering his senses and mind he saw Ukyo and Shinji talking. He smiled. When he met Shinji he was a very shy and introverted person, he still is but he was opening to him. And now he was talking freely to Ukyo. Ukyo. She is a very special person. Ryouga was very inept with people especially with girls, but with her he always felt comfortable, he could talk about his feelings and problems and she always listened to him. Even if their relationship was based on schemes to break up Ranma and Akane, she was close to a friend after all Ryouga never had a real friend.
"Damn you Ranma, you don't deserved being loved for someone as her"
"Stop daydreaming, jackass, we to get to the town before night" Ukyo said not with the same venom she used earlier. It was almost friendly.
"Yeah I'm going" he stood up and picked his backpack. After that he gave his umbrella to Shinji.
"What are you doing? Don't bully the kid"
"It's alright Ukyo. He is training me and carry his umbrella is helping mo to gain strength" Shinji tried to save his friend.
----0----
As Ukyo said, they had to wash dishes, mopping the floor and cleaning the tables in order to pay their dinner. Then they went to a park and sat down in some benches there. After all it was time to talk.
"So tell me Ryouga how did you meet Shinji?" Ukyo broke their silence.
"well…some guys tried to kidnap him so I kicked some butts and took him with me in order to protect him" Ryouga answered. Shinji sighed relieved. Because their first meeting was not very nice. He felt shame for what he did and also because he still hasn't thanked him for saving his life.
"Really?" a very concerned Ukyo asked Shinji. He nodded.
"It's ok, I know they haven't tracked us. I mean I am the one who has been navigating"
"There is nobody who can track you, sugar" Ukyo laughed, followed by Ryouga. Yes without Ranma or Akane…
Time to sleep, Ukyo ashamed told them that she didn't a place to sleep. Ryouga offered his tent meanwhile he sleeps outside. Shinji almost got a nosebleed when he heard the idea but the decision was taken. "Don't do anything funny" Ryouga teased. "SHUT UP" Ukyo and Shinji shouted.
Thanks to Ukyo's persuasion (which involved a giant spatula), the group follow Shinji's indications. Two days later they arrived to Tokyo or its ruins.
"What's this place?"
"It was once Tokyo"
"…"
"Yes after the floods"
"Floods?"
"You know after second impact" ´Where were these people? ´
"Second impact?"
"yes, a giant asteroid hit the Antartid continent, melting it producing a global flood killing half of the earth's population in the year 2000"
"YEAR 2000" Ryouga Shouted grabbing Shinji's collar "DON'T GIVE THAT SHIT WE'RE IN THE YEAR 1998"
#CLANG#
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING" Ukyo yelled "DON'T SCARE THE BOY"
"but…Tokyo…Akane" releasing his grip on Shinji's collar, Ryouga started to stutter.
Putting her hands on Shinji's shoulder Ukyo tried to comfort him "Relax, you know his temper" Shinji nodded "Sugar, is that true, what you told us is true?"
"…yes"
"LIAR…" shouted Ryouga.
"STOP THAT JACKASS"
"…"
"#Sigh# haven't you notice, everything looks different now, why do you thing I was wandering around? Because I couldn't recognize anything"
"…that's true…" finally Ryouga start to accept the reality, after all he has seen strange thing like that purple robot. During a science fair in New York he saw several robots, but all of them were crude machines compared to the purple one. Perhaps he was in the future but how did they get there?
"But how…?"
"I don't know the last thing I remember before getting this world was being engulfed by that black sphere you created"
"Well that makes sense. What do you think about Ranma and Akane? Did they survive?"
"I don't know sugar" seeing a faint glow on Ryouga's body Ukyo quickly added "But don't worry Ranchan it's strong he surely saved himself and Akane"
After hear the name of his rival Ryouga felt his anger grows, but he had to admit it. Ranma was very strong and always saved Akane form danger. Funny even with all the love that Ryouga said he was never able to help Akane once. Perhaps his love was not as strong as he though. Now it didn't matter after all that was time ago.
"Shinji…sorry…I didn't mean to hurt you"
"It's ok Ryouga. I didn't know much about yourselves"
"That's right we should try to open up to each other. By the way what is this year?"
"2015"
"oh…is there anything to see?"
"well…there's a memorial field. It' got a monument with the name of the people who died"
"I see…"
"Ryouga" Ukyo said putting her hand on his shoulder "we should go there and give this people our condolence, it's the last thing we can do"
Taking her hand into his, he nodded "Ok Shinji lead the way"
----0----
It was hard for both of Ryouga and Ukyo. She could recognize several names: they were her classmates or her regulars. With some of them she has develop some kind of bond and now they were gone. For Ryouga wasn't easier even with his directionless he had met some people on the road who were kind to him.
Fortunate none of Ranma or Akane names were in the monument so there was hope that both of them were still alive somewhere. Unfortunate for Nabiki, Genma, Kodachi and Tsubasa the luck were not their side.
They decided to leave, there was anything for them. Ukyo joined them in their endless wandering. She was feeling uneasy. She was drag out of her life by an impulse of his friend but at the same time she was saved. After seeing the magnitude of the tragedy she doubt if she could make it alive. ´I guess I should thank Ryouga. Later´
After days of wandering they arrive to some familiar valley, at least to Ryouga. He tried to remember but the place has changed thanks to the floods after second impact. Leaving aside this feeling Ryouga dragged Shinji to another painful (to Shinji) spar session. Ukyo was left behind making lunch (it was her turn).
Their sparring was uneventfully, Ryouga was too fast and too strong for Shinji. However to Ryouga, Shinji learning curve was amazing. ´the kid is good. With time and the proper training he could be as good as me or even as Ranma´. With that in mind he decided to move the training to the next level. He has only attacked with his bare hands and kicks. The umbrella was left to Shinji to develop strength. Taking some bandanas he threw them to Shinji. Shinji barely dodged them. ´time to get serious´
"BAKUSAI TENKETSU"
#BOOOOM#
"#sigh# that baka, he loose himself so easily. I hope Shinji is alright" Ukyo has finished lunch and was on her way to join them.
The shock of the explosion was too strong to Shinji and he fell back. He was bruised but day after day of constant beating by Ryouga his body has develop certain endurance and those hurts didn't pain as before. He regained his step and charged Ryouga.
#RUMBLE# #RUMBLE#
"What is that? An earthquake?" asked Ryouga, but his answer soon was loose. A column of water appears where Ryouga has used his technique knocking them. Time ago Ryouga should damn his luck, but somehow he was cured. The time travel could be the answer. However both Ryouga and Shinji were now soaked. At the distance Ukyo rushed to see what had happened.
"Shinji are you ok?" Ryouga asked. ´hmm my body feels funny. What is this weight on my chest? ´ Ryouga though to himself. With his hand he reached his chest but instead of find a manly and muscled chest, he found a very round and female chest.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" a girlish scream was heard.
"Easy Ryouga" Shinji recovered and sat down. But he was met with some unexpected view. A gorgeous young woman with green hair and green eyes. Dressing like Ryouga, using his thigh sleeveless shirt and her ample blossom was almost visible because of how soaked has her shirt. After that kind of situation Shinji used his only logical reaction, he got a nosebleed and fainted.
When Ryouga looked down he saw a young girl, with the same age as Shinji. She got shoulder length pink hair. She got also a perfectly built body for someone of her age that sum with her ripped t-shirt that let see everything beneath it and with Ryouga's own features got a response in his brain. She also got a nosebleed and faint.
Ukyo finally arrived and was welcome with something weird. Two young women were laying on the ground. The largest one got green hair as long as Ukyo's. The other girl got shorter pink hair. The really weird thing was that both were clothed as her friends and both of them of blood trails under their noses. Being smart and after seeing some many strange things in her life she concluded that both of them were Ryouga and Shinji. But how? Jusenkyo of course. But how they got Jusenkyo. Ryouga and his directionless problem was the answer. "Next time I will navigate, who knows where are we going to end later?"
Two groans ended Ukyo's train of thoughts. As the new members of the aqua-transsexuals were waking up Ukyo sat in front of both of them. When they saw her, they want to tell her about their common nightmare
"Ukyo I had a very strange dream" Ryouga stared.
"Yes I dreamt that Ryouga was a girl" Shinji continued.
"I dreamt the same thing about you" Ryouga replied.
"Really?" Shinji continued with this constructive chat.
"Sorry to interrupt but you haven't dreamt. I actually happened. Look at you" Ukyo pointed both of them.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" both of them cried and for the second time of the day they fainted.
"#sigh# it's going to be a long day" finished Ukyo.
To be continued…
AN: what was unexpected isn't it. You can't make a Ranma fic without any Jusenkyo curse, can you? At least it's my opinion. About Ryouga and Ukyo I chose them after the failed weeding (book 38 of the manga). Why? If you want to flame me fine, but I saw that Ryouga grew up with the story. At first he was a berserker but as long the time passed he and his grudge cooled down. After the shishihokoudan saga (book 20) he and Ranma didn't have a nasty fight in the next book of the manga. They even worked together and even when they have their skirmishes, when they were needed they could count on each other.
