Life Renewed

Chapter 1:

Ukyo ran like her life depended on it. Her eyes where filled with tears. After she left the Dojo she started crying like there was no tomorrow heading back to doctor Tofu's.

"How could he let that happen?"

"I loved him."

Ukyo remembered the time she first met Ranma and felt betrayed by her friend when he left with the Yatai and forgot to take her. Then she thought about the time she followed him to Nerima and lost the fight to him revealing herself to him. The time he called me cute, and then the rivalry that was born from it.

Ukyo stopped in front of Tofu's, wiping her tears off. She went into the courtyard and headed inside. When she opened the door and walked inside she saw Doctor Tofu lying on the floor unconscious.

"Doctor Tofu!" cried out Ukyo as she ran to him to see if he is all right.

After checking to see if he is all right she then remembers something.

"Ryoga!" she then ran heading for the room Ryoga was in.

-------

"Ukyo is outside," replied Midnight's Father.

Midnight got into a fighting stance. While Midnight's father looked at Ryoga's injuries.

-------

Ukyo ready her spatula and charged into the room where Ryoga was staying. Only to be flipped into a wall at the far end.

"Argh!" cried Ukyo as she landed on the floor.

Midnight tossed the spatula to the side and got ready. Ukyo got up and pulled out two of her small spatulas.

"Who are you and what do you want with Ryoga?" spoke Ukyo as she got in a fighting stance.

"My name is Kagenmi Kenshu," replied the man.

"The 'Master of past, present and future', yeah right." laughed Ukyo.

Kagenmi walked over to her from the bed and stood in front of her. Ukyo stepped back at the tall figure and raised her spatulas in defense.

"Don't be afraid I won't hurt you, just take my hand and I will show you the truth." He raised his hand and motioned her to take it. Looking at thee hand she hesitates, and then reaches out to take the hand.

"I will not bring harm to you, you must trust me."

Ukyo grabbed the hand and then a white light blinded her.

-------

Ukyo woke up to find out that she lying on some grass in a small field. As she got up she saw a road near by. Standing up to get her bearings she noticed a small village in the distance. Not recognizing it she got up and studied her surroundings.

"Where am I," replied a weary Ukyo.

Looking around she begins to get a feeling as her eyes widen in surprise. Before she can speak she hears a noise coming from behind. Startled she quickly turns around and sees a black-cloaked figure walking towards her. Instantly she recognizes him.

"Why have you brought me here?"

"To reveal the truth to you," replied the cloaked figure.

Shaken Ukyo backs away, "What do you mean?"

"Do you not recognize this place?" He gestured with his hand pointing to the village.

"For it is your home!"

Fearfully she steps back. "How is this possible!"

He walked passed her and moving toward the village not answering her question. Ukyo runs after him

"Wait!" replied Ukyo.

As she tries to catch up with him. He continues to walk vigorously until they reached the outskirts of the town. As the man continues to walk, she spots two men talking in the distance near a yatai cart. The men are talking as Ukyo gets closer she recognizes one of the men as her father and the other Genma Saotome. Staring in awe she did not notice the cloaked figure by her side. Ukyo glanced behind noticing two children eating something. She also recognizes them also as herself and Ranma Saotome.

Still in shock, she whispers to herself, "how can this be!"

In her mind she hears.

'All things are possible to me' the sound of the words chilled her soul and for the first time in her life she truly knew fear.

He gestured for her to follow him. Fearful the men would see her she ran to stop him. In her haste she tripped rolling down toward the cart. At about the same time she would hit the cart something strange occurred. She found that she passed through the cart as if it was nothing. As she stopped rolling to try to get up she appeared to be in shock. Seeing an offered hand she took it and got up. Wearily she rose still holding to the man's arm.

"Where are we?" She turns to the man looking in his face as he replies

"The past."

Motioning toward the two men, "Watch."

-------

"Marry Ukyo to my Ranma?" replied Genma.

"Yes." replied Ukyo's Father.

"I don't know he already has a fiancé."

"I was willing to offer my cart as a dowry," replied the man off handedly.

"Sold! I...I mean yes." replied Genma snatching the man's hands.

Ukyo looked on in discussed as she was offered to Genma. She looked over to herself sitting over next to Ranma eating okonomiyaki.

"He was my first friend, I did not want to lose him."

"And that is why your father asked you if would like to stay with your 'Ran-chan'," replied Kagenmi.

Chibi-Ukyo looked as her father asked her if she wanted to go with the Ranma and Genma.

"Yes..." whispered Ukyo.

"But they left you behind and you where humiliated in front of the whole town you lived at."

The world changed again and Ukyo saw her Chibi-self run after the Saotome's, tears in her eyes a she cursed at them.

"Yes..." whispered Ukyo again.

"And you sought out and trained hoping to regain your lost honor and to make your enemies feel the pain they inflicted on you."

Waves crashed as Ukyo trained by the raging sea, hate and fury evident in her face as she smashed the waves.

"Yes..." Ukyo looked like she was about to cry.

"But you fail, and fell in love with the enemy, the one you hate."

Ukyo watched as her other self fought Ranma in the ring at Furinkan High, and then in the shed where Ranma found out that she was a girl. After that he called her cute so that she would stop hating him.

"Yes..." tears started to drop, as she could not take her eyes from the scenes played out in front of her.

"And with time you made new friends and new enemies."

The world changed again as she meet Ryoga for the first time and then Shampoo, Mousse, Cologne, Tatewaki and Kodachi Kuno, and the rest.

"Yes..." Ukyo brought her hands to her face as she cried in to them.

"Take my hand Ukyo Kounji and I will give you your much deserved revenge, help me in the training of Ryoga and your vengeance will be complete."

"And maybe you will learn something from this experience." finished the man.

"What do you mean?" spoke Ukyo through teary eyes.

"There are many paths and roads to our goals, some good, some bad."

"If you chose this path and walk it with Ryoga you will know pain and sorrow, but you will find something worth more then all the pain and suffering of the world."

She reached out with hand and grasped it. With that the world went white and then black as she fell into unconsciousness.

-------

Ukyo fell and was caught by the man and held in his arms. Laying her next to Ryoga he began to chant and Midnight placed her hand on his shoulder. A flash of blue light and they where gone.

-------

Tofu woke up with a splitting headache and went to get some aspirin. When he saw a flash of blue light. Going to the room Ryoga was in he looked to find nothing and no one.

"How..." whispered Dr. Tofu as he stared at the room looking for Ryoga, but only finding some bandages. Not knowing what to do he decided to go to the Tendo Dojo.
