Be Carefull What you wish for part 4
By Richard Beaubien
It was nighttime in Nerima , an espically
quite nighttime . Except for the loud noises coming
from the top of one building . On top of this building
Ukyou Kounjii was relesing all her anger on to the
surronding equipment . She inrtoduced her spatual to a
hot water tank slicing into half . She trew several smaller
spatual at a T.V antenna slicing it into several small pieces .
Finally she brought the flat edge of the giant spatula down on
top of Ranma causing a loud groan of pain . "Are you all right ?"
a concerned Ukyou asked .
"I'm all right...." Ranma muttered in unconvincing
gasps of pain .
Ukyou's face suddenly changed after that remark
to a look of anger . Ranma noticed this and prepared herself .
Finally Ukyou spoke "Good..Then prepare to die!!!" . Suddenly
small spatula's surronded Ranma . Ranma easily avoided the
oncoming projectile's , but could not avoid the huge spatula
hurtling towards his head at a high velocity .
"That's just the begining of the pain you'll feel scum!!
I'll get you for the dishonor you brought our family!!" Ukyou
yelled out hysterically .
Damn it she's losing her mind Ranma thought . She's
acting like I did when I first.....
"I'll get you Ranma!!" Ukyou yelled as she prepared
to strike a distracted Ranma . But Ukyou could not finish Ranma
off . Instead she collapsed on the gorund and started to cry .
"Ucchan..."
"Go away!!!" Ukyou yelled towards Ranma . But
Ranma decided to press the matter . "Ucchan , it's all right.."
"No it's not!!!" Ukyou screamed between her sob's .
"Because of your father's dishonor I've seen nothing but pain
in my life!!!" Ranma wanted to say something , but she knew
she shouldn't talk . She rembered when she had to vent her anger
a long time ago , and how she couldn't make it without the help
of Ryouga who listned to her tantrem's .
"My life has been nothing but revenge ," Ukyou muttered
as she tried to stop her tears . "I had to become a boy so I wouldn't
have to face the ridcule of having my fiance run out on me . Soon
the hardship of actually being a boy , not just a tomboy , fueled my
anger . I left the village to train one day , and left full of anger and
hate at you . At age 14 I started to go to the Kobe boy's school..."
It was a nice school as school's go I suppose . It had the
usual thing's a nice public school had , a pool , a gym . Hell it even
had a Colonel Sanders statue out front that was a source of school
pride . I had no problem getting into that school , partly because
I looked so much like a boy . And also I really started to believe
I was a boy .
Of course I really was a girl , which made Gym class
an experience . I would often change in private , and the boy's
teased me about that but they didn't suspect I was a girl .
No , they thought I was ashemed of my .. let's just call it my
masculinity . A guy I used to pratice with alway's used to bug me
about it , I think his name was Kei .
"Wow!!Look at the girl's up there!!!" was what he usually
said at the begininng of our training session's . For a 14 year old boy
he had very overactive hormone's . It seemed he would only think about
girls .
"Ah forget them..." was what I would say in response . I didn't
have time for girl's , I had more important things to think about .
"Don't you like pretty girl Ukyou ?" was usually Kei's next
line . I would follow up in a very cold voice " I have more important things
to worry about ," and I would kick the head off the practice dummy which is
a great conversation stopper .
But that would just make the girls clap . Of all the places to put
a boy's school they put it next to a girls school . And the same girls came
to watch us day after day (sorta of like guy's watching girls) . Kei used to
bug me by saying that a girl named Yuki liked me , but I thought it was a
joke .
Yet it wasn't . Yuki really did like me . She started to flirt
with me when I practiced . I didn't know how to respond . Sure I was
a girl , but in thought and manner I was a boy . But feelings didn't
really matter , only revenge and the hatred I felt toward's you really
mattered . Yuki kept flirting , but I didn't stop her , partly because I
started to like her . Yet I had to force these feelings down because
revenge was the only thing that mattered....
Yuki continued to flirt and she eventually came in the way
of my training ,. I finally told her to leave me alone , and said I hated
her just to dirve her away . She was shocked and told Kei what I did to
her . Kei tried to talk to me about what I did , but I said screw it . He then
grabbed my shoulder which caused me to hit him . He never talked to me
again , and I left Kobe a week later....
"I really thought of them as friends , but revenge was more
important than friends . And I started to blame you for ruining my
frinedships becasue you made me go out and seek revenge . And this
just added to my hate . I went to 30 school's after that , each one having
a ruined frienship , each one adding to my hate..." Ukyou sobbed . She
could talk no more , all she could do was cry , cry for a life time of hate
that she had lived .
Ranma just wrapped her arm around Ukyou and tried to comfort
her . "Don't worry , you have friend's here.." Ranma added in a kind ,
comforting vocie . She knew the pain Ukyou felt , and she knew Ukyou
needed time like she did so long ago . And she was willing to be there for
Ukyou because she was her friend....
About a month later.....
"Get you fresh hot Okonomiyaki here!!" Ukyou yelled in a
cheerfull voice .
"She's really cheered up over the last couple of month's.."
Nodoka muttered as she wolfed down a hot Okonomiyaki .
"Yes she has mother..." Ranma looked over to a happy Ucchan .
She was happy , and that was the greates revenge she could have against
Genma . Ranma started to get up and looked towards Ukyou , and yelled
at the top of her lungs "Way to go Ucchan!!!"
And the two girls laughed for an hour straight . For Ukyou it was
the first time she laughed in over 10 years .
The end
epilouge
It was another rainy day in Vancouver . The security guard moaned
, why couldn't it snow so he wouldn't have to come to work . He looked
over the European part of the Stanley Park zoo and sighed . No one
would steal an animal , he thought , a T.V maybe but not an animal . He
decided to check the Asian wing before he took of to watch the Canucks
game . The wing looked relatively quiet as the guard checked around .
Nothing was amiss , except the Panda was gone . The panda is gone!!! The
security guard ran to the phone to call 911 , ignoring the note written
In Japanese . The note read 'Thanks for the hospitality , but I now must
find my son!! Thank you Genma Saotome...'
