Oops! Drank too much Hi-C and got a new concept. What 'ya think?

ultimate curse too
a ranma1/2 spamfic
------------------
Ranma Saotome had vanished from the face of the earth.
As the sun rose over the eastern skies, Akane Tendo sat quietly on
the patio of the living room, facing the koi pond, trying to take her
mind off things, trying to forget everything that had happened.
But it was just too much.
She remembered the last time she saw him, the last time they had
been happy. She remembered the shouts of joy that came after a jug filled
with Jusenkyo water arrived on their doorstep, apparently FedEx-ed from
China (a solution so simple no one had thought of it), with a message
said that the jug contained water from a brand-new spring that would
counteract *all* the other cursed springs, an all-in-one remedy for
Jusenkyo cursed folk, guaranteed.
Finally, he would be cured.
Finally, all (or at least some) of the hesitations and the
inhibitions between him and her would be removed.
Finally, there could be that chance, that small chance, that
perhaps...
And Ranma poured the water over himself, and didn't change form.
Thinking back, she recalled how Ranma seemed to disappear as the
miracle water splashed over him, and when he subsequently poured cold
water over himself. But again and again, he emerged, unchanged.
She had attributed it to the overexcitement of that day, or maybe
the sun was bright in her eyes, dazzling her that moment. But when Mr.
Saotome, then Mousse, and then Shampoo, and even when Ryoga was
"accidentally" <quotes by the author> doused by the so-called Jusenkyo
cure-all, each of them seemed to vanish temporarily then reappear.
She began to have her suspisions.
But before she could do anything about it, before she could voice
out her concerns, it began to rain, and the newly cured individuals (and
strangely: Ryoga) couldn't resist the lure of a carefree walk in the
downpour, without umbrellas.
They never came back.
Tears came to Akane's eyes, as she clutched the Jusenkyo guide's
telegram, which she always kept with her, a constant reminder of the
tragedy that had befallen all of them. If she had made him wait, if she
could have told Ranma how odd she had felt when the jug first came, maybe
he would still be here. But he was gone, and so too were the people who
had given color to her life this past year, and so too was the peace and
quiet Nerima used to have (compared to what replaced it).
Perhaps someday they'll meet again. Perhaps, maybe in some desert,
somewhere, they're going to appear once more, to escape from the trap
they had so unwittingly fallen, and head back home.
Maybe someday, the familiar crash of a portion of Neriman
architecture falling suddenly into ruin, will once again ring throughout
the district, and her... her friends would come back.
But until then, she thought, as the cry of another distressed woman
pierced the air, she'll be here, continuing where her friends left off,
fighting off great evil, even if it seemed that most of the time all they
did was fight among themselves.
Quickly she picked up her mallet, and joined Cologne, Ukyo, Sayuri,
Yuka and the rest of the girls from Furinkan High, who was, like her,
armed to the teeth. Another battle was about to begin.
Until Ranma comes back, she thought, the Great Anti-Pervert Squad
will continue to protect Nerima, against the evil man who had unleashed
the Trojan Horse that came that sunny afternoon and who was now freely
rampaging and pillaging at will.
She's going to make Happosai pay for that Spring of Drowned Hot
Water trick. You can bet on it.
She sighed. "I wish P-chan was here..."
