Ranma 1/2 is owned by someone else.  No sue, I'm broke.

A New Beginning
By Ryo Hoshi


	Life had seemed so good, those long years ago.  Akari got Ryoga, Mousse
finally got Shampoo, Konatsu married Ukyo, and I married Ranma.  It was like a
fairy tale.  We had all finally found where we wanted to be, who we wanted to
be with, and now we would get to live happily ever after.
	Then, Akari died giving birth.  Ryoga almost committed suicide.  He was so
depressed he didn't even care when I found out that he was P-chan, he didn't
care what I did to him.  Well, not as much care as hoped that I would kill
him.  I guess that, more then anything else, is why I forgave him.  It was the
worst thing I could do to him then.
	A year after that, Ranma left.  I was still recovering from giving birth to
our own son only a month ago, and so he asked Ryoga to watch over me.
	I hit Ranma.
	The last time I saw him, I had to go and hit him.
	We never found out what happened to him, really.  All that was known was
that, one day, he simply stopped reporting back.  No body was ever found.
	That was ten years ago.
	I used to think that he was still alive, somewhere, trying to get back to me.
But I knew that couldn't really be true after two years had passed.  He would
have already have returned to me, if he was alive.  Nothing would have stopped
him from returning to me.
	Nothing but death.
	I don't know when I started falling in love with Ryoga.
	He had changed a lot from back when we were young.  He had mellowed over the
years, learned how to be gentle.
	He was always so gentle, after the Akari's death.
	He told he, about a week ago, that he had thought that he had gotten over me
when he married Akari.  That he had finally come to terms that I was Ranma's,
and would always be.  He then proposed.
	Tonight, Ryoga and I are getting married.  I hope this is for the best of us
all...
