    Ryoga Hibiki frowned as he saw the huge forest before him. Now,
how did he get here? He could have sworn that when he went to sleep
last night that he was just at the edges of Tokyo.

    An hour of walking couldn't have taken him here, could it?

Of course not! He got there in the first five minutes! ;-)

    "Didn't you get my letter?" She asked, running a hand through

    They sat in companionable silence for a while after that. Akane
finished the rest of her late lunch, while Ranma occasionaly skipped

Grandpa said a bit reluctantly. With the boy's memory, he honestly
didn't think anything short of tattoing it on his grandson's

forehead will make him remeber.

    "Honestly, what kind of idiot does he take me for?" Shinnosuke
grumbled after he sat down the pnone and started to walk down the

phone

    "It was. That necklace was one of my last remaining links to 
my real family, and now..." Suddenly feeling ovewhelmed by the

day's events, she grabbed his outstreched arm and held on to it,

    Kasumi Tendo hummed a catchy tune as she prepared dinner. If
someone had looked closely, they would have noticed that she was a
bit distracted, her thought on what had happened at the clinic
earlier when she came to return a book.

That last clause is messed up; not sure what it's supposed to be.

    Seeing his bewildered expression, she decided to elaborate. "It
was a picture of my mother after she and father got engaged. I guess
it's the main reason why we like having Akane over so much. It's
like having mother back with us, even for a little while."

Hasn't anyone remarked yet on the fact that Akane has the same name as
the long lost Tendo sister? I know they're not the most perceptive
people in the world, but c'mon....

     Her mind automatically wandered from the mundane task, and she 
couldn't help but think of the tender look Ranma gave photograph. She 

gave the photograph (or better yet, had given the photograph)

had never seen him so happy and was a bit ashamed that part of her 
was envious that he had found someone.

     Her brushing slowed to a stop as she wondered aloud, "Do you 
think anyone could ever love me like that, P-chan?" 

"Goodness! He's shaking his head 'no'! Isn't that cute!" :-)

    Whatever answer she was waiting for never came forth. The piglet
was already fast asleep.

Dinner time! :-)

AUTHORS NOTES: This chapter was supposed to be totally serious, but I
couldn't help myself ^_^

Don't try to fight it. I don't know if I've *ever* managed to write a
totally serious fic.

Interesting that you should switch genres at this time. The romantic
stuff came up a little abruptly maybe, but it was well done. Leaves me a
bit bewildered as to where this is all heading, but I guess we'll find
out!
