A Wish Come True: A Ranma 1/2 Fanfiction (With Urd)
			By Brian

Part 1: With this ring...


	A girl sat by a lake in the park.  Her thoughts were a mix of anger,
jealousy, and betrayal.  Pouring over her fiancee's actions, and her
own,  always brought out these emotions.  Though she wouldn't admit that
second emotion to anyone, not even herself.  Absently, she picked up a
flat rock and skipped it across the surface.  She watched the ripples,
almost hypnotic.  She couldn't admit to anyone how she felt about him,
the way his eyes just made her want to melt, the way his smile made her
heart skip.  She couldn't, and she wouldn't, so she hid her feelings. 
Buried them under ones that were more powerful.  Anger, pain, and more
anger.  Her mallet was not the only tool that she could use to help bury
her emotions, nor was it the one that she used most frequently.  The one
she used most frequently, was her voice.  She hid behind lies and
insults.  The first to herself, the second to Ranma.
	Akane stared out across the lake, the silence was overwhelming.  She
wanted nothing more than to just become of part of it.  To calm herself,
for once.  That was the one thing she hadn't been, in the entire range
of emotions from love to hate.  She hadn't once felt peace since Ranma's
arrival at the Tendo dojo that rainy Nerima day.  She hadn't felt it
very often Before he'd showed up, but it had still been there, on
occasion.  Now she never felt it, not once.  Nabiki found it in numbers,
and money, and in the knowledge that what she did helped her family, her
father found it sometimes, she was sure, well... maybe, and Kasumi just
seemed to radiate it.
	But for all of this, Akane wouldn't give up a moment of her life with
Ranma for anything.  She loved him, even if she wouldn't admit it, and
she wanted never to lose him, not to Ukyo, not to Shampoo, not to
Kodachi, not to anyone.
	Standing up, Akane took a deep breath and began a long, slow walk back
towards the dojo.  Where Ranma waited, and undoubtedly, every problem in
her life.  But she wasn't sure that she could live without the constant
bickering, the multiple fiancee's, Nabiki's money-grubbing ways, or even
continuously beating on Kuno.  She tried imagining her life without
these things, it just didn't feel... right.  After being a participant
for so long, to be a spectator, or even to have it not going on, would
just feel... wrong.
	She spotted a young couple also sitting by the beach, just enjoying
being with each other.  Both looked extraordinarily nervous.  One, a
college boy from the look of him, kept sending nervous glances toward
the other.  A gaijin woman whom, Akane had to admit, reminded her of
Kasumi.  The woman's only response to anything the young man did was to
blush and look down at her feet.  The man stopped walking and the woman
continued on, staring at her feet.  Keichii, Akane had caught his name
while eavesdropping, just hung his head in despair.
	"Why can't I just tell her how I feel?" He asked himself.  Akane
couldn't help but answer him.
	"I give, why not?" Keichii jumped almost a five foot in the air,
impressive, for a non martial-artist.
	"Who are you?"
	"My name is Akane Tendo, and you haven't answered my question."
	Keichii seemed to accept this as a fitting response, if she could help
him with his love life, it didn't really matter who she was.
	"Because I don't think she feels the same way.  How could she, I mean,
I'm just a normal guy, and Belldandy's well... she's Belldandy."
	"She feels the same way.  Didn't you notice how much she was blushing
whenever she looked at you, or whenever she caught you looking at her?"
	(Author's Note: It's amazing how observant someone can be when they're
on the outside looking in. :)
	"Do you really think so?"
	"Of course I do, it's the truth."  She gave him a pat on the back and
pointed him in the direction of Belldandy.  Who had stopped to wait for
him a little ways away.  Far enough so that she couldn't hear.  She was
watching him talk to Akane, and appeared very... apprehensive would
probably be the best word.
	"Now go over there, and tell her how you feel.  You can do it."
	"I hope you're right about this."
	"Of course I am."
	With that, Keichii walked off.  Akane watched as he caught up with
Belldandy and began to sputter out his feelings.  Akane turned to leave
but found herself face to chest with a very tan, very slim, very tall,
very well-built, and very Gorgeous woman with platinum-blond hair
spilling down past her shoulders, and an unusual diamond-shaped mark in
the middle of her forehead.  Akane didn't notice the woman's clothes
beyond a sub-conscious level, probably because they gave the illusion of
not being there at all.
	"I would've bet anything that that wouldn't have worked."
	Akane 'eeped' and jumped back, slightly startled at the woman's sudden
appearance.
	"Sorry to startle you Akane-chan."
	"Y-y-you know my name?"
	"Of course I know your name."
	"How?"
	The woman looked slightly caught off-guard by the question.  "Umm, I,
eh, heard you talking to Keichii just now.  I must've heard it then." 
She wore a look on her face that said 'Please buy this, I mean, it's not
like I read your mind or anything, no no of course not.'  But as we all
know, Akane isn't the most perceptive, or receptive for that matter,
person in the world.  So she fell for it.
	"Oh, okay, are you a friend of his?"
	"Yeah, I've been trying to get him and Belldandy together for awhile
now."
	"Oh, I'm sorry, am I infringing on your matchmaking territory?"
	"No, I'm just surprised that you were able to do something I couldn't."
	"Did you ever try what I just did?"
	"Well... my approach has always been a bit more, physical, or
metaphysical, depending on how you look at it." Akane could only 'ahh'
in comprehension.
	"Well, Fate likes to mess with people who use love potions and such."
	"Oh, do you know her well?"
	"Huh?"
	Urd caught herself before she could slip again, "Ahem, I mean, do you
have experience with this sort of thing."
	"More than I would like."
	"Well, I'll tell you what kiddo, for taking away my matchmaking game by
getting Keichii and Bell together.  I'll do you one back."
	"Whadda you mean?"
	"Girl, I'll make your wish come true."
	"You promise?"
	"Of course."  And, caught up in the moment, Urd shook Akane's hand. 
When she was done, her mind finally caught up with her, and it's first
words were something like 'idiot' 'stupid' and 'moron'.
	"Um, Akane, now that I think about it, maybe this isn't..." A bolt of
energy struck the grass near Urd, leaving writing in it's wake, it was
in the divine language.  It read
	'Dear Urd, A promise is a promise is a promise is a promise, ha ha ha
ha ha.  Skuld.'
	"Um, what does that say?"
	"Nothing of importance, Akane-chan, now as I was saying.." Another bolt
struck the ground, this time leaving Kanji in it's wake.  It's message
was the same as the previous one.  Except that it noted that it's
message was the same as the previous one.  Akane, read it aloud.
	"...ha ha ha ha ha.  Um, are these for you?"
	Urd nodded her head.
	"Then that would make you Urd right?"
	Urd nodded again.
	"What exactly does this mean?"
	"Perhaps I should explain.  Akane-chan, I'm a goddess."  The look Urd
received from Akane for that statement could best be expressed as. 
'Yeah sure, tell me another.'
	"I'm serious, Akane-chan.  When a goddess grants a wish, it comes in
the form of a contract.  Written, fulfilled, and stored, in heaven.  For
a goddess, a promise and a wish are the same thing.  When I made that
agreement just now, it had the same effect as me making a contract with
you.  I cannot break it, and I have to fulfill it to the best of my
ability, and as goddess of the past, that's quite an ability.  I do not
know what the wish was exactly, as I do not know exactly how the
contract was worded, I have to get to a phone before I can find that
out."
	"Why's that?"
	"I have to call my father."
	"You mean..."
	"Yes, and I think we should use the phone at your house."
	"Why?"
	"I think Keichii and Bell may want to be alone."  Urd gave a wink and a
crooked grin.  Akane blushed.
	"Um, okay, but some weird things go on at my house.  I hope you wont be
surprised by them.  Especially by my no good baka hentai fiancee.  He'll
probably try and hit on you or grope you or something."
	"He can't be that bad."
	"No, he's worse."
	"I like him already."

*-*-*-*

	Walking with Urd to the dojo proved to be an interesting experience. 
The males that they passed on the street nearly passed out from loss of
blood, and the females were simply glaring daggers, knives, and other
sharp things at the both of them.  Urd didn't seem to notice, but Akane
did, and the red on her face proved it.
	"Um, Urd?"
	"Yes, Akane-chan?"
	"Why do you wear clothes like that?"
	"Because they feel so darned good, and the looks that I get from the
guys really make it worth it."  The goddess favored a nearby street
vendor with a wink.  He passed out.
	"Oh."
	Near the dojo, Akane spotted a familiar bandoliered girl, she noted
that Ukyo's giant spatula was absent.
	"Hello, Ukyo."  Akane's voice was oozing venom.
	"Hiya, Akane-chan.  Who's your friend?"  Whether Ukyo didn't notice
Akane's tone, or just plain didn't care, the goddess was not sure.
	"Ukyo Kuonji, meet Urd.  Urd, meet Ukyo Kuonji."
	"Urd, that's kind of a strange name... sounds Norwegian or something."
	"It is."
	"Oh, I guess that explains it then.  Sorry Urd-san, but I'm in a
hurry.  Akane have you seen Ran-chan today?"
	Akane replied in the negative.
	"Oh well, maybe I'll just wait here with you and your friend until he
shows up.  So Urd, what's your business here at the Tendo's?"
	"How'd you know I was going to the Tendo's?"
	"You're with Akane, and you are headed in this general direction.  No
offense Akane-chan, but I doubt you would go out of your way to help
someone without good reason."
	Akane fumed. Ukyo smirked. Urd interjected.
	"I'm actually here to help Akane-chan with something.  It's my job you
know."
	"And what job is that?"
	"Um, uh, I'm a relationship counselor."
	"I see... Urd-san, if I could have a word with you."
	"Of course, Ukyo-chan."
	Ukyo walked a few feet away with Urd to leave Akane stewing in her own
juices.  "Ahem, Urd-san.  When you say 'relationship counselor' whose
relationship do you mean exactly?  There are quite a few unrequited
loves in Nerima." Ukyo paused to frown at this. "So whose relationship
are you going to counsel?  You aren't trying to get Ran-chan and Akane
closer together are you?"
	"I haven't decided yet. Ukyo-chan."
	"Maybe you'll decide to just let things go on as they are?  Oh well,
thank you Urd-san."
	"You're welcome Ukyo-chan." <What a nice girl>
	With that, Urd walked off toward Akane, whose aura was beginning to
show, and whose mallet looked ready for use.
	"You two were plotting against me weren't you?"  Akane's aura started
to glow a little brighter.  <Hmmm, she's paranoid.>  "No, Akane, we
weren't.  Ukyo seems to be a nice girl, very sharp.  She makes a
convincing boy."
	"I don't trust her, never have."
	"Someday you may have to Akane-chan."
	"What do you mean?"  Akane's arched eyebrow implied violence, Urd
didn't flinch.  "Nothing at all.  Now, where's that phone of yours?"

*-*-*-*

	"I HAVE TO WHAT? WHY? WHY CAN'T I JUST FULFILL IT LIKE A NORMAL ONE?"
	"Urd... just do it.  You made the agreement, you weren't assigned to
this girl.  She probably would never have received a wish if not for
you, very few people do, and the way it was worded makes this the most
logical solution.  This way she can fulfill it in her own time and you
won't have to worry about interfering in her life any longer than you
have to."
	"But what if I want to..."
	"Let me rephrase, I won't have to worry about you interfering in her
life any longer than you have to."
	"Y-yes, Sir."
	"Good, now go about your business."
	Hanging up the phone, Urd looked around at the walls of the Tendo
household.  Had she not known better, she would've assumed that this was
where Belldandy was living with Keichii.  She had only spent a few
minutes inside so far, so she had yet to met any of the 'special'
residents.  Akane had shown her where the phone was and gone upstairs to
take a nice long soak in her furo.  Leaving Urd by herself in an unknown
house, with a request handed down from Kami-sama Himself which left her
waiting until Akane finished in the bath to grant a wish.
	Urd wandered into the kitchen, thinking she had heard a familiar song. 
To find that she had heard a familiar song, it was Belldandy's cooking
song, and Belldandy's voice.  But it was not Belldandy.  It was a girl
with brown hair, hanging over one shoulder, and tied with a yellow
ribbon.
	"Oh, hello, I'm Kasumi Tendo, no one told me that we had a guest.  It
is very nice to meet you Ms..."
	"Urd."
	"Ah, it is very nice to meet you Ms. Urd.  If you will excuse me, I'm
afraid I must finish cooking dinner."
	Urd looked closely, it could just be a very basic disguise spell, but
that was not Belldandy's style.  Or maybe Belldandy was trying to trick
her into thinking that it wasn't her when really it was her.  <Wait a
minute, maybe it isn't really Belldandy but Belldandy cast on spell on
this girl that makes her act just like Belldandy so that I would think
that Belldandy wasn't playing a trick on me when really she...> Urd
derailed that train of thought before her head began to hurt too much.
	<Maybe I'll just go sit by the pond and wait for Akane.>

*-*-*-*

	Akane was in the furo, mulling over the last couple hours, She had just
met a goddess, and apparently been granted a wish without even realizing
it.
	<I wonder what my wish was.>
	The thought that she had unwittingly wasted a wish did not sit well
with her at all.  Akane stepped out of the bath, and grabbed a towel off
the rack.  Folding it around her at her armpits she walked and opened
the door to the changing room.  To find herself face-to-face with a
naked red haired girl with a pig-tail.
	The words "YOU PERVERT!" echoed across the landscape.  Accompanied by a
loud smacking sound.  As of fist meeting face.

*-*-*-*

	<How did Akane throw her voice like that?>
	Urd was sitting by the rocks on the pond when there was a large splash
and she found herself covered with water.  Her clothes, which had been
clingy before, were now clingy and see through, not a good combination.
	The only person Urd could find to blame was the red-head stepping out
of the pond.
	"Did you jump in there for a reason, youngling?"
	"HEY! it's not my fault that kawaiiku..nee is...?" Her eyes rolled up
in her head and she fell flat on her back when the nosebleed started.
	"Oooh, great..." A grin found it's way on the love goddess' face. "Man,
is this gonna be fun."
	A steaming, and now dressed, Akane, tore her way out of the house.
	"Where is that pervert?  Ranma?  RANMA?  Get over here!"
	"Akane-chan, do you mean her?"  Akane looked over by the pond at the
scantily clad goddess who was kneeling over Ranma-chan, snapping her
fingers over the martial-artists eyes.
	"What happened to him?"
	"Him? Akane-chan, I may not know technology, but I know the difference
between a boy and a girl, and this is most definitely a female."
	"You're a goddess, read his mind."
	Urd frowned, "I don't normally do that Akane-chan, unless the person
has captured my interest..."
	"Well that's good."
	"But if you insist."  The goddess concentrated for just a moment.  When
a look of comprehension came on her face.  "Oooh.  A Jusenkyo curse
huh?  Poor guy."
	It was at this time that Akane finally noticed Ranma's nosebleed, and
Urd's attire.  "Would you mind changing into something a little bit
less... flattering Urd.  Or at least drying off.  I told you before, my
fiancee is a pervert."
	"Of course not, Akane-chan."  Urd snapped her finger and was suddenly
in a dry and well fitting business dress.  "This better?"
	"Good enough, now I've got to get this baka inside.  Then we can talk
about my wish."
	"Oh, right, of course." <I hope you can forgive for this when you find
out Akane-chan.>

*-*-*-*

	With Ranma safely dumped on the couch, Akane rounded on Urd and
confronted the goddess with an almost predatory look.
	"So?  What happened, how'd the phone call go, what's my wish?"
	Urd looked at Akane rather sadly as she reached into her blouse and
removed a ring.  It was a small band of solid gold.  Urd turned it like
a coin in her hand and flipped it to Akane.
	"Here."
	"What's this? I thought I got a wish!"
	"You do, wear that ring on your right hand.  Say I wish, and shazam,
wish granted.  It will be charged one day after I leave, my father says
that that way you'll have time to think about what you want.  It will
return to me when you've made your wish."
	"Um, okay.  I think I can handle that."  Urd turned towards the t.v.
and grabbed ahold of the inside with one hand, and stepped one of her
feet in as well, but stopped to look at Akane again.
	"Akane, take this."  Urd hand her a small business card.  "It's the
phone number of the temple I'll be staying at in case you need help."
	Urd leapt into the television leaving Akane feeling giddy and excited.
	"I get a wish, I get a wish hahahahahaha."
	Akane slipped the card into her pocket and the ring onto her right hand
and ran up the stairs to her room.
	Ranma sat up a couple of second later.
	"What the hell...?  Why's the t.v. glowing.  Oh, it stopped.  Akane
must've hit me harder than I thought."
	The despondent red-head trudged her way upstairs to try and sleep it
off.  Thoughts of strange platinum haired women running rampant in her
head.

*-*-*-*

	The next morning Akane woke up, and much to her dismay, discovered
herself still in her clothes.  She frantically reached for her hand and
found the ring still there.
	<Ah, my very own wish.  I wonder what I should wish for.>
	Akane made her way to the bathroom to find it empty, where usually she
would encounter a naked Ranma.  <Ah, things are changing for the
better.>  The sounds of battle made their way in from outside, ruining
Akane's perfectly good mood.  "Damn, *Yawn* he's always bugging me, no
matter what he does.  Disrespectful pervert."
	Removing her clothes for a lightning fast shower Akane made certain to
keep the ring on, and not to drop it when she was soaping her hands. 
Making quick work of her hair and the rest of her body.  Akane fled
before a certain pig-tailed martial artist could appear as he seemed to
have a habit of doing. <He's such a pervert.>

*-*-*-*

	Downstairs, Ranma and his father were engaged in a war over the rice
and broiled fish.
	"Will you two just knock it OFF?  It's just food, you don't need to war
over it."
	"Jeez, Akane, what's gotten into you.  You never seemed to mind me and
pop quite that much before."
	"Yeah, well, I got tired of it, scoot over."  Ranma reluctantly
complied with her wishes to give her a little bit more room at the
table.
	"Yo, Akane?"
	"What, Ranma?"
	"Where'd you get the ring?"
	"What ring?"
	"Sis, I believe Ranma is referring to the twenty-four karat gold ring
on the fourth finger of your right hand.
	Akane removed her hand from Nabiki's grasp, and then took the eyeglass
that Nabiki was holding
	"It was a gift from a friend, leave me alone Nabiki, and stop pestering
me pervert."
	Ranma cracked his knuckles, and there was a faint battle aura around
the edge of his body.  "Who is he?"
	Soun immediately burst into tears.  "WAH! MY DAUGHTER IS ENGAGED
SOMEONE AND IT ISN'T HER FIANCEE!"  Kasumi set about the task of calming
Soun while Nabiki ran off to school.
	"Foolish boy!  Your horrible treatment of Akane has sent her into the
arms of another man.  This is all your fault!"
	"Now waitaminute oyaji, this isn't my fault at all.  Is it Akane? 
Akane?"  All the response he got was the slamming of a door.
	"Whoops, late for school oyaji, gotta go."  Ranma burst out of the
house, backpack in hand leaving a trail of dust behind him.

*-*-*-*

	Jogging along the fence, it wasn't long before Ranma caught sight of
Akane running at her usual breakneck pace toward Furinkan.
	"Yo! Akane!" She ignored him.
	"Akane what's... oh hell."
	Ranma increased his speed just enough so that he could catch up to
Akane.  When he did she took no notice of his presence.
	"C'mon Akane, it's to early to be mad at me, I haven't done anything
wrong yet."
	"Oh, so you admit that you're going to be doing horrible perverted
disgusting things later is that it? HUH?"
	"No Akane, that's not what I meant it's just that..."
	"What Ranma?"
	"You seemed so pissed off today, what'd I do?"
	"You didn't do anything Ranma, I'm just a little nervous about
something."
	"Oh, what?"
	"I just have to make a decision today and it could affect alot of
people.  I don't want to blow it."
	"Well, I can take your mind off your troubles."
	"How can you do that?"
	"Why should I tell you?  You're uncute, unsexy, violent as a gorilla,
and I've seen five year-old girl's with bigger chests than you."
	"RANMA NO BAKA!"  Akane yanked her mallet out of nowhere and began to
chase Ranma toward the schoolyard.  When they passed through the gates. 
Ranma sidestepped a mallet strike and allowed the blunt object to impact
on the face of Tatewaki Kuno.  Akane didn't notice as she hefted her
weapon and whirled to face Ranma.
	"So Akane, still nervous?"
	"Why you I... um... no."
	"It worked."  He tapped her on the forehead.  "Gotcha!"
	"WHY YOU..."

*-*-*-*

	"...just had to make us late didn't you.  No, I can't be on time, not
the great Ranma Saotome.  Oh nooo.  Now here we are in the hallway
holding buckets, we're lucky Miss Hinako didn't drain us."
	"Look Akane, it wasn't my fault, I'm not the one who had to chase me
around the yard for half an hour."
	"Oh, so it's my fault now is it?  I can't believe, you're always
blaming women for everything that goes wrong in your life."
	"Now THAT was uncalled for."
	"What're you gonna do?"
	Ranma just sighed in response.  The silence that passed was almost
tangible.  You couldn't have cut the tension with a chainsaw.
	"Ranma?" Again, silence.
"Ranma, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."
	"It's okay Akane, I know you didn't mean it."

*-*-*-*

	Lunchtime rolls around and Ranma is confronted by a horde of would-be
suitors.
	"Please, Ranma-sama.  I made this just for you.  I promise you'll love
me for it.  Please."
	"Get away from me you crazy chick."
	"Airen! Shampoo bring you special ramen.  Now you eat, and then take
Shampoo to date yes?"
	"AAAAHHHH!"
	Shampoo and Kodachi are separated from the activity of stuffing Ranma's
face by a wall of slate-grey metal.
	"You girls had best stay away from my Ranma-honey."
	"Ah, so the pancake prostitute wishes to confront the Black Rose does
she?  Very well."  Kodachi begins twirling her ribbon at an ever
increasing pace, but is caught off guard when it is sliced at the handle
by a thrown spatula.
	"Very well, spatula slinging slut.  I shall confront you another day."
	Ukyo breathed a sigh of relief.  Then turned on the purple-haired
amazon.
	"Shampoo no be as easy to beat as insane black lotus girl.  She defeat
you now."  Shampoo twirled her Bonbori and prepared to strike.
	"Don't you have deliveries to make or something?"
	"Aiyah! You right, Shampoo have to make delivery for Nekohanten, she
finish with you later.  Baibai, Airen."
	Ukyo sat down on the grass next to her best friend, and fiancee.
	"So, Ran-chan, where were you yesterday?  You didn't stop by for your
free okonomiyaki."
	"Oh, jeez, I'm sorry Ucchan.  With the lech and my old man, and having
to worry about Kodachi and Kuno.  Did I mention that Ryoga was in town
yesterday?  It just seemed like everything went to hell.  Otherwise, I
would've stopped by, you believe me right?"
	"Of course I do Ran-chan." <I always believe you.>  "I brought you some
okonomiyaki."  Ukyo took a packet of sauce and scribbled, 'I love you
Ran-chan, on the Okonomiyaki.  He didn't bother to read it, he just
started eating.  A pained look crossed Ukyo's features for a moment but
was quickly replaced with a smile when he turned to face her.
	"Thanks Ucchan, you're one of the few people I can always count on.  I
gotta go sit with Akane now."  Ranma pointed over to the glowing girl on
the other side of the yard.
	"Why?"
	"Whatta ya mean, why?  I always eat with Akane."
	"Can't you eat with me?"
	"Okay Ucchan...
	<ALLRIGHT HE WANTS TO EAT WITH ME!> Ukyo's face was glowing.
	"...I guess you can eat with Akane and me."
	<ugh.> Ukyo's face wasn't glowing anymore.
	Ranma grabbed Ukyo by the wrist and began trudging off to where Akane
was eating with her friends and glaring at him.  The sight would have
made a normal man, or a more observant one, shudder.  But Ranma was
neither of these things, and so, didn't react to Akane current state of
mind.
	"Hello, Akane-chan."
	"What're you doing here Ukyo?"
	"Oh, Ran-chan invited me over to eat with him.  It was really very nice
of him.  So how are things going with you Akane?"
	Akane shot Ranma a look that promised intense pain to come.
	"Akane?"
	"Oh, They're going just fine Ukyo.  Some things could be better, but
I'd have to say that they were going pretty good overall."
	During her entire conversation Akane was glaring at Ranma, who did his
best to act like he was ignoring her.  Unfortunately, Ranma isn't all
that great an actor.  In the midst of this conversation.  A loud voice
rang out across the courtyard.
	"RANMA SAOTOME! I WOULD FREE THE PIG TAILED GIRL AND AKANE
TEND*clang*"  The plate which had once had an okonomiyaki on it, found
itself with a new face-shaped imprint.  Tatewaki Kuno pitched backwards
into unconsciousness
	"Thanks, Ucchan.  That was a lot faster than usual."
	"Anytime, Ranchan."

*-*-*-*

	The gate into the Tendo grounds exploded open revealing an angry Akane
Tendo and an equally furious Ranma Saotome.
	"I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU!  AT LUNCH YOU WERE HANGING ALL OVER KODACHI AND
SHAMPOO, AND THEN YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO BRING UKYO OVER TO EAT WITH US!
YOU PERVERT!"
	"Akane, I was NOT hanging all over Shampoo and Kodachi!"
	"Then what do YOU call it pervert?"
	"They were hanging all over me.  You know that they always do that."
	"Well, you don't have to act like you enjoy it all the time!"
	"What're you TALKING ABOUT?  I do EVERYTHING I CAN to get them off me."
	"Yeah right!  You expect me to believe that.  I know you like to spend
all your free time groping them.  You're worse than Happosai could ever
be."
	"Yeah, well at least I'm not an uncute, unsexy tomboy."
	"RANMA NO BAKA!" Akane lashed out with her mallet, and had Ranma been
there, he probably would've been crushed.  But he was already running
across the yard.
	"Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah!  You can't get me."
	"Stand still and take your punishment."
	Akane was standing across the yard from Ranma.  He was gloating at how
easily he outdistanced her.
	"HA! You are so Uncute!  I doubt that you could hit me if I was
standing still."
	"YEEARGH!  RANMA SAOTOME, I WISH I'D NEVER MET YOU!  You are such an
arrogant self-centered bastard.  I hope you..." there was a warm pulse
from Akane's hand.  Akane looked down in annoyance, and saw the ring. 
It was glowing.  A look of horror passed over her face as she looked
between the ring and Ranma.  She fell to her knees in shock.
	Ranma jetted to her side before either of them could blink.
	"Akane, what's wrong."  Akane grabbed him by the head and kissed him
forcefully on the lips.  When she released him he was shocked.  "What
was THAT for?"
	"Ranma... I love you."
	"Akane? What's going on... what are yo-"  The ring released a pulse of
light, and Ranma Saotome was gone.

*-*-*-*

	Urd was attempting to help Keichii with another one of his vehicular
creations when she felt Akane make her wish.  Her excitement lasted only
until she was informed what the wish was.  Urd dropped the handlebar's
that she had been holding in abject shock.  A single tear rolled down
one side of her face.
	"Akane you idiot..."

*-*-*-*

	Akane looked around the Tendo garden.  Ranma wasn't there.  She felt
behind her neck.  At the long hair that was there once again.  Akane
wrapped her arms around herself and began to cry.
	"Ranma, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."

To be continued?

Author's post-script:  Why did I write this, I simply asked myself one
question.  Why is it always Ranma who screws up the wish?  As this IS my
first released fanfic.  C & C are welcome.  Flames will be shot on
sight.
