 Anything else?...  Oh yeah!  If you are wondering, Akane does not get 
turned 

 into chicken (roast or living) or gets eaten up in this fic.

Oh, good.  After finally "getting" the point behind "Ukoyu Can Cook," I don't 
think I could take another "cannibalize X character" fic.

 C&C and MST definitely welcome

Just C&C today.  I'm going to bed afterwards.

 As she tightened her grip on the handle, Akane's voice was like thunder in 
 Ukyou's ears.  "I warned you... I warned you both!  DIE, RANMA!"
 
 Ranma, though, was paying attention to something else.
 
 "Akane, watch out!" Ranma screamed.  "There's an okonomiyaki yattai behind 
 you!"

Akane: [blink] What?  There's an okonomiyaki yattai behind me?

 Akane was confused after hearing this.  "And what is that supposed to 
mean?  

 This is probably just another one of your plans to stay with your secret 
 lover."  Having said this, her rage became even greater as she was about 
to 
 do what she had promised.

Of course, her temper flared up so much, the water in her brain began to boil 
and--oh, wait, _I'm_ turning this into a "cannibalize X character" fic.  I'll 
shut up now.

 "Akane, Ranchan's right!" screamed Ukyou, hoping to stop Akane from 
killing 
 Ranma.  "There is an okonomiyaki yattai behind you!  In fact, it's rolling 
 towards you!"
 
 Akane turned towards Ukyou.  "SHUT UP!!" she screamed.
 
 While this happened, Ranma was able to move away from Akane.

A la Xellos in Slayers Next just before Line served a Dragon Slave Serve 
(which had just as much kick as the original, meaning it wiped out the 
colliseum she and Martina were playing in).  Very funny ep. indeed.

 "This is just some plan to get Ranma away from me.  At least come up with 
a 
 better idea than saying that an okonom...."

Ranma: Okay, Ukyou's carrying my baby!

Ukyou: [blinks] I am? [falls over] 

Akane: [blinks] She is? [falling over] I didn't think that I would have been 
right... [completes falling over]

Ranma: Err... well, you did come up with something better than that runaway 
okonomiyaki yattai...

 Akane couldn't say anything else as she saw what was behind her.  What she 
 saw was something so unbelievable that it caused her face to change from 
an 
 expression of rage to that of complete shock.

Soun and Genma in "The Full Monty."  ^_^

 "It... it's an oko... okonomiyaki yattai!  There's no one controlling it!  
 Yet it has the smell of fresh okonomiyaki along with the smell of hot, 
 steaming okonomiyaki batter as well as other, assorted things that can go 
 with okonomiyaki.  And it's heading right towards..."

I'm sorry, every time I read this part, I keep thinking Will Shattner's 
saying these lines.

 That was all Akane could say before the okonomiyaki yattai rammed into 
her, 
 knocking her down.  After which it rolled over her body.  It then reversed 
 its direction before disappearing to where it came from, leaving behind a 
 very confused Ranma, Ukyou, and Kasumi (who came in midway through the 
 situation).

It's Soba Nori, Goddess of Okonomiyaki!  "I protect all my children," Nori 
says before disappearing into an okonomiyaki.

 Soon after the yattai disappeared, Kunou ran into the Tendou dojo and saw 
 Akane's body.
 
 "Akane... NOOOOOOOO!" screamed Kunou, rushing forward.  He dropped to his 
 knees besides Akane's body and held her in his arms.

But he had to use a spatula to get some of her up.  Ironic, isn't it?

 "YOU KILLED HER!!!!" he screamed to no one in particular.

Which then caused No One In Particular cried and ran home.

 "YOU!"  He points towards Ranma.

Ranma: [sighs] It's always my fault, ne?

 "YOU!"  He points towards Ukyou.

Ukyou: [whacks Kuno over the head with her BAS] Look, Sugar, I wouldn't have 
used a yattai to run her down.

Kuno: [recovering] You wouldn't have?

Ukyou: Nope.  That's what assassins are for!

 "YOU!"  He points towards Kasumi.

Kasumi: Oh, my!  I hope Father doesn't have me arrested.

Ranma: Um, Kasumi, you didn't run Akane over with a yattai.

Kasumi: Oh, dear.  I guess I didn't tell every one about my telekinetic 
abilities that I sometimes have difficulty in controlling.

Ranma: Er, Kasumi, this isn't the Marvel Universe we're in, either.

Kasumi: Oh.  In that case, I'll be making dinner.

 "YOU!".  He points towards the sky.

Which prompted Soba Nori, Goddess of Okonomiyaki, to drop a _HUGE_ 
okonomiyaki on Kuno just to shut him up for a few hours.

 "AND ESPECIALLY YOU!"  He points towards the screen.

Zen: What did Zen do wrong?  Zen only wrote "The Bitter End."

 With a final anguished cry, he takes Akane's body and runs off into the 
 night.  And they lived happily ever after.

That reminds me of a particularly disturbing story about an old southern lady 
died, and the local find a forty plus year old corpse in the bed of the dead 
woman's house, along with a strand of iron gray hair (anyone remembers the 
name of the story, email me privately).

 *****
 As for what was happening back in the dojo:
 
 "Ranchan." said Ukyou.
 
 "Yes Ucchan?" replied Ranma.

Ukyou: Will you sleep with me?

Ranma: It's too soon.  Give me some time to grieve, okay?

One second later...

Ranma: Okay, I'm done.  Let's have a go at it, babe!

 For a while she was thinking of something to say.  "That... was weird."
 
 "Yes.  Yes it was." said Ranma, still stunned by what he saw.

Kasumi wasn't wearing a bra!  Or clothes for the matter.

 Kasumi suddenly realized something.  "Oh my!  I wonder what I should tell 
 father and Nabiki."  She left the dojo still thinking of what she should 
 say.

Now, how do you explain that Soba Nori, Goddess of Okonomiyaki, was acting 
out of self-defense in protecting her children?

 For a few minutes after this, none of the remaining two people could say a 
 thing.
 
 Finally Ranma spoke up.  "I... cannot stay her tonight.  Too many 
depressing 

her=here

 memories.  Ucchan, do you mind if I stay with you tonight."

"...with you tonight?"

 "Sure thing Ranchan." replied Ukyou, who still couldn't get over what had 
 happened.

Ukyou: There's a Goddess of Okonomiyaki?  Who would have thought it?

 Finally, Ranma and Ukyou left the dojo for whatever the future held for 
 them.

Which included being grilled for several hours by police for "suspicion 
circumstances." 

              THE END

[snip Akane defense cliff notes and stuff]

      The road to madness is the easiest road to take.

Certainly, you seem to have made a home on one of its off roads with this 
fic.  It was humorous in a weird, unexpectant way, though some would disagree 
on this.
