A Glorious Day - Ranma and Akane 2gether 4ever... Death to all the others

by Lara Bartram



	"Ucchan, you're the only fiancee for me!"
	"And don't I know it, Ranchan!"
	Ukyo and Ranma embraced lovingly.  They never noticed Akane
walk up behind them, glowing with an unholy red light.
	"Rrrrrr... Ranma!"
	Ranma ripped himself away from Ukyo reflexively, looking like
a scared rabbit.  "It wasn't my fault, Akane!"
	Ukyo looked at Ranma, getting more annoyed by the moment.  If
Ranma wouldn't stand up for himself, she would do it for him.  She
turned to face the enraged Akane.  "Now you listen here, Ranma and I
are getting married.  Not you and him, so just give it up."  She
adopted a very smug smile on her face.  "We all know I'm better than
you anyway."
	"Yeah, Akane," Ranma offered.  "She's a lot better cook, she
can swim, she's got a decent body, and she's a lot better..."
	Akane suddenly pulled out her mallet, but instead of the
normal wooden construct, it was metal and adorned with sharp spike.
She whipped it around, bringing it down on Ukyo's head.  The giant
spatula was no match for the hammer, and was summarily buried in
Ukyo's head, along with the hammer.  "Rrraaahh!  Take that!"
	Ranma looked on, dumbfounded.  "Akane, how'd you do that?
Ukyo's a way better martial artist than you!  She should've kicked
your butt!"
	Akane smiled evilly at him.  She pulled a furled scroll from
the same place she kept her hammer.  "Heh heh heh heh," she chuckled,
in a completely inhuman voice.  "You thought I would sit idly by while
those other girls fought over you?  Never!"  She unfurled the scroll
for Ranma to see it.
	He looked it over, not even being able to read it, the print
was so small, but he could read the signatures at the bottom.  There
was some writing that he couldn't read, but it was big enough for him
to see, and below that there was...  "Akane!  What'd you do?"
	"Simple, my dearest fiancee, I sold my soul to the devil so I
could have you.  I had Nabiki help with the contract to get it just
how I wanted it, and now...  I have you."  Akane tucked the contract
away.
	"Akane, I can't believe..."
	"Believe it, buster.  You're mine and no one will ever take
you away.  In fact, now that I've done away with Ukyo, the most
saintly of the fiancees, if annoying and smug, I should be granted
the power to do things my way from now on."
	Ranma was speechless.
	"Hold still, this won't hurt at all."  Akane walked toward
Ranma, resuming her normal, innocent looking self and cute voice.

	"Akane, this is fabulous!  I can't believe how good a cook you
are!"  Ranma proceeded to shovel down the rest of the food.
	Akane only smiled happily at him, then looked at Nabiki and
winked.
	Nabiki nodded and began eating her own food.  She was set for
life now from helping Akane.
	"Ranma," Akane asked suddenly, "do you want to get married?"
	Ranma lifted his head from the food.  "To you?"
	Akane nodded.
	"Yeah!"
	The entire household broke into tears of joy, except Akane and
Nabiki.

***

	Akane and Ranma lived a long, happy, comfortable life, never
wanting for anything.
	Akane's disposal of Ukyo had provided her the power to bend
Ranma's mind to her own wishes, though he never noticed and never
seemed happier.  
	The death of Shampoo provided the happy couple wealth and
comfort for their remaining days, which meant Cologne and Mousse got
deported, Nodoka suddenly had a change of heart when it came to the 
manliness of her son and seppuku, Kuno ranted too long one day and was
tossed in an institution, and Happosai just up and died.  
	Kodachi's death, well, it was only brownie points for Akane,
but the clause Nabiki had put in the fine print set her up for a
comfortable life too.

	Ranma and Akane lived happily ever after, until they both
died, together, and went to hell.  :)
