Ok, I'm sorry about my stupid outburst earlier, I htin i was just a bit
overwelmed by what I thought was going on and was reading the end
carefully... sorry bout that. Anyway, here's my own entry in the "One Hour
Challenge". Its kinda dark, even though I in no way intended it to be..
actualy, as far as I know, it might not be.. I didn't read back over it,
so expect some grammer mistakes.

Shampoo pouted a bit. "But Ranma! You already marry me! 
You forgetting about time we spend in China? You say you 
love me!"

Gaah!

"I know Shampoo, I know! I do love you... its just.. 
well... I want to be near my mother. I've been away from 
her so long, I just can't stand to disappoint her."

Gaah!

"Ranma, just say you love Shampoo one more time, and I 
leave you alone."

Ranma sighed. "Hai, I love you, Shampoo."

Gaah!

Suddenly there was a gasp and both of them looked up, 
startled to find Akane standing behind a tree not far 
away. Inwardly Ranma groaned, having known that eventually 
this day would come... Now his little reality was going to 
come crashing down around his ears.

Akane was in tears. "How could you! I thought you cared 
about me! But no, you were just using me! Fine go on, be 
happy with that little harlot of yours! You bastard!"

Gaah!

But it was too little too late. With a sob Shampoo bounded 
away from him, and he quickly lost sight of her. Slowly 
Ranma slumped to the ground, feeling like he was the 
lowest scum on the planet, and in retrospect, maybe he 
*was* the lowest slime on the planet. Kuno just chased two 
women whom he loved, Ryouga was just looking for affection 
by sleeping with Akane disguised as a pig, even Happosai 
didn't actually hurt anyone when he stole panties... but 
Ranma was worse than all of them, because he hurt those he 
loved, instead of making them feel good. And right now, he 
really hated himself.

Hah! Serves you right!

Suddenly Ukyo's hand was pulled away from her work on the 
okinomiaki grill and clasped in Ranma's hand, forcing her 
to look her in the face. "Ukyo... Will you... Will you 
come with me? I have to leave here... tonight. Please 
Ucchan... I've always loved you deep down, if you could 
just come with me, I'm sure we can build a life away from 
all these wacko's...."

G-G-GAAAAH! No! Don't do it, Ucchan!

Ukyo's heart skipped a beat, as at first she was sure she 
had heard him wrong, but gradually, Ranma's words began to 
sink in. He loved her! He wanted her to go away with him! 
She felt her heart swell as though it would burst. 
Finally, after all her hoping and dreaming, her fondest 
wish was coming true! "Of Course I'll go with you Ranma! I 
love you!"

NOOO! YOU EVIL EVIL....

"I love you too, Ucchan..."

NO!!!

***

Ranma stared up at the ceiling, a small smile on his face. 
Briefly he glanced over, making sure that his bed partner 
was still asleep as he absently patted her bare back. 
Someone did love him, Ukyo would never turn away from 
him... they'd get out of this town, away from memories of 
what he almost had with Akane and start all over again, 
and she could work to support him, and he was sure, where 
ever they settled, that he could find some new girls to 
keep around... He'd never be alone again, he swore. He 
*was* lovable, and just because Shampoo and Akane didn't 
love him enough, he'd make sure Ukyo did... and whoever 
else he could trick into falling in love with him along 
the way... maybe he would call up Kodachi, she had been 
great in bed that last time...

OH MY GOD!

Ok, this is a completely evil fic that I'm shocked I just 
wrote. I started writing it with just the idea "hey, what 
would happen if Shampoo *had* had a relationship with 
Ranma while they were in China? And things just sort of 
developed from there as I wrote for the hour of time 
required. I don't know at what point I decided to make 
Ranma a totally despicable pervert, bent on having all 
women worship him to fulfill his own ego, but that's kinda 
they way it ended up. Anyway, this is just a spam fic, but 
feel free to c&c anyway.

EVIL is right! My God! It's a good thing I have this 'don't shoot the
messenger' policy with fanfics, 'cause I know how stories can mutate in
mid-writing. Good idea, but GOD! Now you've gone and made me hate Ranma's
guts! Bravo! What great writing!
