Author's Note: for those who are wondering why I made Ranma be like her "Big Brother" and all, well, I needed to make a diversion! It's like, I made that happen so Ukyou, Ranma, Ryouga can be good friends! Well, I'm sad to say that this is the second or third to the last chapter and this chapter will sure be good! Sorry for the late chapter, I tried to put download it through MS Word but it wouldn't so I put it on Notepad. If you see grammar errors, forgive me, because I had to edit the wrong spellings on Notepad myself so I'm not sure if I clearly did all of them. Enjoy!
Ukyou woke up and rubbed her head. She couldn't sleep remembering what happened last night. The thought came back and she frowned.
"I swear I saw him." She said as she remembered seeing Ryouga behind the bushes last night. She then pushed the thought away and changed to some clothes. She was wearing her sweater and some pants and slipped on some shoes and went outside. She went to the place where she and Ranma talked and decided to take some air. She looked at the stars and then looked at her watch. It was 5:30.
"Ryouga, Where are you?"
Ryouga woke up hearing a familiar voice up ahead. He sat up and crawled over to the bushes where he overheard Ranma and Ukyou talking. He saw Ukyou again.
"Ryouga, I miss you."
He then blushed and decided to go out. Ukyou then turned as she heard the bushes ruffling. Her eyes widened as she saw Ryouga. Finally...after all these months, she finally sees him.
"Ukyou, I'm back."
She then felt tears stream to her eyes and she ran and jumped on Ryouga. They both fell on the floor and then she pounded on his chest and he smiled. She must've been mad at him for not coming back any sooner.
"Why didn't you come back sooner?!" She yelled. She then cried, hanging onto his shirt. "I've been waiting for so long!" She sniffed then continued. "Did you know how much I worried about you?! I thought you got sick or something!" She yelled still pounding his chest. "I kept worrying about you! I--"
She was interrupted by what he did. His lips pressed onto hers and he placed a hand on the back of her head and pulled her closer to him. He closed his eyes, still kissing her. Her eyes widened with shock, but softened and closed them and kissed him back. They were like that for a few minutes and then Ryouga let go, and saw that Ukyou blushed a shade of red.
"I'm sorry; I knew I should've came here sooner, I just, saw you and Ranma talking last night, I didn't want to interrupt." He said trying to smile.
"W-what?" She asked, her face blushed with a redder shade. "You... heard us talking?"
He stretched his arms wide and spread out onto the floor. "I love you this much." He said as she stared at him with widened eyes.
"Well... I only said that to change the subject."
"Yeah, right" He said teasing her. "I love him thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much!" He said copying her voice.
She pounded her fist on his chest and he winced in pain while laughing.
"Just kiddin'." He said smiling at her. She still pouted at him. Then Ryouga used his hand to put her hair behind her ears and she placed her head on his chest. She listened to his breathing and she stopped crying. Then she turned to look at Ryouga's eyes. His warm, pretty eyes she used to wish that she could look at them. Her gaze softened and tears started to fall once more.
"Ukyou, what's wrong?" Ryouga asked as his calm face turned to a worried expression.
"I'm...I'm just so happy, that i can finally see you again." She said as she wiped her tears.
Ukyou then sat up beside him and he sat up as well. They were both silent, until Ryouga took out a snowy flower from his bag.
"Here" He said as he handed it to her.
"You went back to get this?"
"It's my Christmas gift to you."
"You could've gotten something else!"
"but...I wanted to find something really special, and I had my eye on this to give to Akane, seeing that she was as beautiful as this flower, but I never found the courage to give it to her, and now that I have fallen in love with you, I think that you deserve this beautiful flower, because you are special to me."
Ukyou then smiled at him.
"Thank you, It's the best gift ever." She said as she twirled it slowly.
He then wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him. She then leaned and placed a head on his shoulder, his warm arms wrapped around her. She couldn't ask for anything more, but just to have him back here safely beside her. She then took a deep breath.
"Hey Ukyou?"
"What?"
"I love you"
"I love you too." She said and they spent the rest of the morning with each other.
