Right or Wrong

Life or Love

Ranma kicked another rock, he'd searched every where, had searched the small town, the forest, had searched every rock, where the fuck had they taken her to.

"You look troubled" some old guy said looking at him.

"Well yeah, I lost something" Ranma said looking down himself.

"Is that so" the old guy said "have you searched on the path you were about to take?" he asked.

Ranma raised an eyebrow, what a strange question.

"Where did you plan to go next?" the old man asked.

Ranma looked at him, he looked a bit like how you imagine Santa Claus would look, a long white beard, even though the clothe he was wearing didn't look much alike Santa Claus' clothes the thought still occurred to Ranma.

"Oh for crying out loud have you looked in China?" the old man asked annoyed.

"What?" Ranma asked, getting all kinds of images into his head, Akane as a small doll, Akane lying naked in his lap, Ranma panicked and went closer to the old man.

Ranma yanked the poor helpless old man back and forth while practically screaming things like "How do you know that?" "Who are you?" "Where in China?" and "Is she okay?"

Ranma finally let go of the old man who straightened out his collar, "I saw someone bringing a young girl with them while talking about pleasing some old ghoul".

Ranma felt how his heart suddenly stopped beating, "Cologne" he said looking frightened, she had been the biggest danger of them all, her and her tribe.

The old man looked as if he had just remembered something "yeah they kept talking about some cologne, they actually kept talking about it like it was person".

Ranma looked pale, his eyes were all white "are you okay?" the old man asked.

Ranma looked at him and gave a thankful nod before running off to the nearest shore praying that he was going to make it.

The old man looked after him chuckling a little to himself "fetch your woman lover boy".

Suddenly another old man walked up to him "who are you talking to honey?"

"Nobody sugar bunch", the first old man said, then he gave his boyfriend a kiss and they walked home.

(A/N: yeah, yeah I know... lame, but to be honest I actually never entented the old man to be gay it just happened).

………………………………...

Ranma was running so fast that he didn't really notice that he was running on water, "please be alive, please be alive" he thought as he speeded op.

………………………………...

Meanwhile in China Akane was hung up on some kind of alter, "crap, halo Ranma help needed, your fiancée here, captured by some weird freaks" she thought then looked down.

"Hello Akane nice to see you again" Cologne said, looking at the young girl with all the hate in the world "so how have you been?"

Akane looked down at the little mummy "why are you doing this to me?"

Cologne jumped up on her stick to gain pretty much the same height as Akane "if you hadn't been there to interfere my great granddaughter would have been happily married long ago".

Akane snorted "as if, look I never asked for any of this to happen. You want him, fine, I'll let him go".

"You lying" Shampoo said, moving out from the crowd "you no let Ranma go, you love him, I heard you say so".

Akane closed her eyes "sometimes loves just not meant to be" she felt the tears coming, no she had to fight them, she couldn't show the brutal army standing there any sign of emotions.

Cologne looked up at her considering the proposal, changing into a much softer look she sighed "as much as I hate it, our tribe rules clearly state that you must die, before sunset".

Akane looked up, oh great it was noon, she had about 7 hours to live in, she cursed a little at herself for still having the money, now her idiot baka with a killer smile of a fiancée wouldn't have no money to buy food for.

Akane looked up at the sky, crying softly, they couldn't possible hear it and start mocking her about it, but this was the last day of her life.

Laughing a little of the stupidity behind this whole charade, she smiled a last smile "have a great life, Kasumi, Nabiki, dad, Mr. Saotome, Mrs. Saotome, Happosai, Kuno, Kodachi, Ukyou, everybody have a great life" then she shed another tear "you too Ranma, don't blame yourself, you just can't catch a break, I'm sorry for yelling at you all the time", she sighed, admitting to herself that she had hoped he would come to her rescue while she was holding the speech to herself.

"I'm sorry Akane", she looked down to see Mouse talking to a tree, not having the heart to tell him that it wasn't her, she let him continue.

"I would have loved to see you to happily married, then I could have Shampoo and we'd all be happy" he said clutching his fist.

"Not me", Shampoo said bumping him on the head "I love husband, we be happy once violent girl be gone".

Akane shook her head, her arms which she was hanging in was starting to hurt, "if this is for the best, I suppose it's okay… I've had a nice life so far" sweat dropping she continued her thought "who am I kidding, help, somebody, anybody".

Just as she had finished her thoughts Ryouga stepped out of the bushes screaming "where the fuck am I now???"

………………………………...

10 minutes later Ryouga finally noticed Akane, he looked at her silently, wondering if he should leave.

Akane was getting a little annoyed, there was the help she needed, but he did absolutely nothing but stare.

"Hallo, I need help, I'm tied up, you know. Please get med down" she said oh so discreetly "NOW!!!" she finished yelling.

Ryouga looked as if he'd just realized that she was tied up "oh yeah, sure, right away" he said then ran towards her.

Shampoo stepped in front of him "you no help violent girl".

Ryouga recognized her, she was one of Ranma's girls.

"Oh I see, you are going to wed them, Akane and Ranma against her will" Ryouga said sounding oh so smart.

Everybody sweat dropped, Shampoo stepped up to him and narrowed her eyes.

"You make fool of Shampoo, I no happy about that" Shampoo said then added "you want violent girl, you defeat me".

Ryouga nodded and charged at her, only to be brushed away by Shampoo.

"You give up, you no chance have against Shampoo" she said yawning.

………………………………...

Meanwhile Ranma had just stepped out to see Akane hanging in her arms.

His first thought was to run out and help her like she was screaming for someone to do (he was still able to hear her thoughts, remember the cursed lake?) he'd just managed to stop himself as he noticed all the amazons.

He looked around himself, just to form a general view of the place, that's when he noticed Ryouga fighting Shampoo.

Ryouga was gathering all of his negative energy getting ready to perform the lion roar projectile technique.

Thoughts like "I can never save her" "I'm not strong enough" "she hates me for pretending to be her pet pig" and "I'm the worlds biggest idiot" was going through his head, then he found the energy ball large enough and threw it at Shampoo, whom was then pinned to the ground.

Barely able to move, she got up pointing a finger at Ryouga "you… you come back in hundred years, then you might have chance to defeat Shampoo" she said wobbling back and forth.

Ryouga sighed and prepared himself to make another attack with the lion technique.

That's when Ranma finally decided to step out of his hiding.

"Wait" Ranma yelled.

Cologne raised her hand stopping the fight, "ah son in law, what a nice surprise" she said hopping closer to him on her stick "okay we let Akane go".

Ranma still cautious wondered if she could read his thoughts, bending his neck a little he looked at her as if she was an idiot "what?"

That's when Cologne smiled greatly showing all of her teeth "if" she began "if you willingly marry Shampoo".

Ranma sniffed "yeah okay sugar, sure" he said it with an incredible sarcasm.

"Swallow this pill, it will make you fall in love with Shampoo forever, then we let your little fiancée go".

Ranma nodded mockingly "why should I do that?" he asked, shrugging carelessly.

Cologne pointed to where Akane was hanging gave a sign, one of the young amazons threw a rock beneath Akane, it hit the ground and exploded.

Shampoo then stepped in "you take pill, fall in love with Shampoo instead of violent girl".

Ranma looked at Cologne, then Shampoo, Ryouga, Mouse, all the amazons, taking a deep breath he turned his head up and looked at Akane.

"You promise to let her go once I take the pill?" he asked Cologne, his eyes still on Akane.

"She is of no interest of mine, once we have you" Cologne said.

Sighing Ranma looked away from Akane "I'm sorry, but your life is more important than us getting married" he said, taking the pill in his hand.

He opened his mouth, put in the pill, closed his mouth and swallowed.

Shampoo jumped at him and Ranma opened his eyes "Shampoo, honey, when did you ever look so beautiful".

Shampoo squealed and hung herself at Ranma's shoulders.

Cologne hopped over to Akane "Akane" she said ignoring the tears coming from Akane's eyes "I'm sorry" she said giving the young girl a nod.

Then Cologne hopped down from her stick and stepped back "but our tribal laws clearly state that you must die".
