Tsubasa's voice, teary and choked, came in clear as doom.
       "Th-thirty seconds,"
       Ranma crawled across the room and cradled Ukyou in his arms. Her
eyes opened part way. Ranma felt his own begin to tear over.
       "Ucchan, I-I'm so sorry," Ukyou smiled faintly.
       "Don't be. At least you tried," She looked behind him at Akane, who
was also beginning to cry. "Take care of him Akane-chan," Ukyou looked back
at Ranma.
       "Ran-chan, I want you to know something. I want you to know that,
no matter if we never meet again, I've always loved you and I always will,"
Ranma swallowed.
       "I--love you too, Ucchan," he said. She smiled. Ranma, in a sudden
burst of inspiration, bent down and kissed her.
       With that last act, the eyes closed, the muscles relaxed, the skin
went cold, and Ukyou Kuonji quietly passed from this world.

Phoney wipes a tear from his cheek...excellent adventure, pretty good
