OMG! and Ranma 1/2 characters belong to their respective owners not me,
so don't sue me.


"Ranma?"

(cut for space)

I'm in the hospital.*

So far, so good.

"You lost a lot of blood, more than your friend over there." He pointed
towards another bed, and Ranma saw to his shock that Ryouga occupied it.
Ryouga was severely injured, with mass bruises adorning him, but even as
he watched they seemed to be healing.

"Don't worry for him, we've sent for the type of blood he needs. He has
a very rare blood type, the same as yours in fact."

"Then take mine," Ranma said.

"But you need to rest and recuperate. You're in no condition to donate
blood!"

Ranma held up his right palm, concentrating slightly even as a red glow
washed over it. It was harder to concentrate on his ki with him being
injured. "Take it doctor or I'll make you," Ranma threatened in a soft
voice.

Ryouga awoke in a strange place, but there was nothing new to that. He
was usually waking up in strange places.

"You're up," a female nurse greeted him.

"Urgh," Ryouga grunted, his back and front hurt, "How did I get here?"

" Your friends brought you here along with another friend of yours,"
the nurse smiled, pointing towards Ranma.

"He's no friend of mine!"

"Really?" The nurse appeared geniuinely shocked. "But from the way he
insisted on donating blood to you even if he was about to collapse from
exhuastion again I thought you two were close friends."

What you should have here is the nurse not be the same one that talked to
Ranma and not know that there was a donation (a bit contrived, but people
get rushed a lot in hospitals so they might not notice every detail).  Then
have Ryoga insist on donating to Ranma, then have Ranma hear that Ryoga
isn't healing that quickly and insist on donating to Ryoga, and the blood
can keep going in a circle for however long you like.

"He donated blood to me? So what! He made my life a living hell."

" True but he almost died from lack of blood after giving you his. Well
not really died but he was pretty close to it."

"He did?" Ryouga's features softened.

"Oh I'm sorry, this must be somethine personal between you and your

something

friend. Well I gotta get checking on the other patients.

patients."

Ryouga waited until the nurse was gone before walking up to Ranma's
bed, plopping himself down on the chair beside it as he looked at
Ranma's pale face.

"Ranma," He whispered, not really knowing what meant with that one
single word. He sat down and stared at Ranma.

The end

Authors note:  Yes another chapter done! And still lots more to go. This
chapter was done pretty quickly, and that leaves more time for my other
fics. Again thanks to my pre-readers.
