A note to others that replied. I sent some mail out in the morning and
have been told that some people didn't receive it, so if you replied and
didn't get a reply back that could be the reason and tell me so.

About time you put out something:
Only since the last decade :P
at his three
suitors.
"Leave us alone," Akane said.
"Shampoo is, too, too tired of Ranma bothering her," Shampoo said.
"What they said," Ukyou brandished her spatula in Ranma's direction.
Ranma considered this new development. The loss of the three girls that had
become such in intricate part of his life was devastating. He'd have to
pick up three new suitors to keep his life interesting. Asuka the White
Lily, Kaori Daikoku, and Yuka, perhaps?
Already wrote a spamfic. Didn't read "Ranma's Love Problems Solved!
Not!"? :P
"Okay, okay. So I get one month of free food at Ucchan's and at
Nekohanten and Akane'll do my homework for a month?"
*Win-win situation. Get rid of Hinako and have Ranma to myself for a
month,* the three girls thought together, coincidently.
heh. Very nice thinking on all three parts. Hopelessly doomed to failure,
of course.
This _is_ the Ranmaverse ^_^
"Mister? Is this yours?" a vendor asked when Ranma left the room of
mirrors. The vender held up a giggling young Hinako by the scruff of
her collar. "That'll be two hundred yen for the cotton candy."
Of course, this would happen fighting where there's sweets around. Perhaps
he'll learn next time.
Really planned it that way though, since sweets is what would draw young
Hinako out.
*Why me?* Ranma thought to himself as he finally let go of the Hinako.
Another little thing that Happosai forgot to mention was that with each
increasing day, the length of time he had to hold those shiatsu points
became longer.
Oh yes. Very terrible. I can feel the horror.
Really.
Hey, you think it's great holding onto Hinako with your hand on her
breast for over an hour and for thirty... uh, what am I trying to
dispute again? ^^;;
"Oh! Ah... harder... please! Oh, for the love of god, harder," Hinako
moaned.
I do believe Ranma has now entered the classic 'lose-lose' situation.
Either he gives up, or the other girls get angry with him for picking up
another suitor.
Really doomed from the beginning of this.
actually helping Akane in the kitchen and in the pool now that you can
actually last the whole class before you turn small. Heck, battle aura
>from Gosunkugi is enough to last you a whole hour."
Wow! That is a change.
Yeah, wanted to show how her progress with the cure was progressing.
Hinako didn't know why she decided to speak right then to a person that
had no way of understanding her. But with her time trickling down, she
found she needed to get some things off her chest.
Her very ample chest. ^_^
No need to mention it all the time. People would begin to think I have
an obsession with it. And I don't. Honest.
"Do you know what
it's like to be a child?
Ranma: Sure. I act like one all the time.
Hinako: I meant older than a baby.
She smiled wryly. "What better way to escape some of reality's
harshness than as a small child.
Because you need to grow up and deal with it like everyone else?
Hinako: "Ignorance is Bliss".
Ranma: Hey, that's totally shameless plugging your own fics. This is
the second one already.
DC: I'm thinking of a Ranma/Showgirls cross...
Ranma: Just kidding you man. Aren't you "Man Enough" to take it.
DC: That's better.
Ranma could just imagine the angry looks of his suitors. They were
already annoyed by the fact that it took longer to cure Hinako each
day.
Of course. That it's not his fault has nothing to do with it. ^_^
Somehow it must be his fault in some way.
"Look at me Ranma." She laughed when she saw him looking at and then
adverting his eyes when they roamed into her cleavage. The boy was
really too cute. Even after all this time of holding her, he still
hadn't gotten used to it. She wondered if that said something about her
appeal or his own ineptness.
Definitely the latter.
Ranma cracks his knuckles.
DC: DB's an author too.
Ranma: *sigh* Is there anyone that isn't?
He felt something wet seep into
the cloth covering his shoulders where Hinako was. *She's crying?*
Ranma thought, panicking.
That's it. Ranma's lost.
Didn't really have a chance from the beginning.
she figured. She guessed it might be because she always tried using it
on him when he was being bad. Such a naughty boy he was. Well if he
didn't like her shooting at him, she didn't feel too bad about being
cured. And it meant that he would play that hugging game with her that
made her feel nice.
Awww. How sweet.
DC: Oh yeah, sweeeet.
Ranma: He didn't mean it that way.
DC: Oh.
Hinako watched the commotion in class, unwilling to use her technique
for once. Ranma-kun is hurt? Oh, poor baby. I wonder if he'll come
and see me today.
You're an evil man, Donny.
DC: Uh...
Ranma: This is where you're supposed to deny it.
DC: Uh...
Ranma: Forget it.
"When I'm ready to let go of my youth and my power, I'll see you again.
I'll remember your words," she promised and left him there to think of
what she meant. She de-aged when she reached outside school grounds and
found herself merrily skipping back home. *Not now, but maybe later,
Ranma,* Hinako thought happily. She was still too young at heart.
Ah. Very nice finishing sentence there. Very appropriate.
Thanks :P
The End. (maybe)
You always say that. :P
A smart man always covers himself just in case.
Author's Notes: This was written for the FFIRC montly one hour
challenge. Unfortunately, I didn't get any where close to being done in
that amount of time and it ended up being five hours ^_^
Wow! You're even worse than me. ^_^
Hey, did finish 6k in an hour still, lowest in all the 1 hr challenge
outings admittedly. Without the time limit, I just slow down.
Very nice work. Simple but touching. And I'm only about five away from
catching up on my backlog now. Yay!
Thanks for the C&C :P
