(I think there's a joke in the title I was given, but I'm not sure...)

     I don't on any of this characters, they belong to somebody else, and
are the creations of Rumiko Takahashi.  No infringement is intended.
     I am not doing this for money, and don't sue me 'cause I'm broke.


Part One


    Ranma opened his eyes.  He was flat on his back in what looked like a
hospital room, he was hooked up to several machines, and he couldn't
remember what had gotten him in there.
    Akane and Ryoga walked in, both looking older then they did when Ranma
last saw them.  And they looked close, somehow.  He tried to say something -
he wasn't sure what - but it came out as a strangled mutter.
    Ranma couldn't tell who was more surprised: his visitors or himself.  He
soon, however, settled on himself after he managed to figure out the gist of
what Akane had said.  It was: "Ranma's come out of his coma!"



      Will be continued if anybody gives a good suggestion on where to take
this next (send the suggestions to me directly, not over the list,
please)...and no, I don't expect to survive the next revengefic season.
