    This one is Ginrai-- No, that's passe. This one is Corwin's fault.
Yeah, that's it.


Destined Couple

 Disclaimer: Moved to footer to maintain the element of surprise.


 "No, you don't understand," pleaded Genma. "Ranma is _destined_ to
marry Akane."

 Soun said nothing, merely increasing the pitch of his wail slightly,
while everyone else looked at Genma oddly.

 The part-time panda swore, and started over again. "Ranma can't be
dead. He's destined to marry Akane. He can't defy his destiny, I even
paid a fortune teller to make sure that it would work out!"

 The gathered Tendo and Saotome families, minus Genma himself, turned
away, leaving him alone in the suddenly cold and empty dojo.

 "But..." he whined to the empty room, "it's destiny..."

 ***

 Ranma opened his eyes slowly, trying to blink away the confusion, and
an intense feeling of distortion. He grunted, the harsh glare of a
halogen light blinding him as his eyes fluttered back closed.

 A voice reached him, stabbing through the layers of fog shrouding his
mind. "You will survive. Do not worry."

 Mumbling, he responded, "Akane..." before he passed out again.

 ***

 She was incredulous. "What are you telling me?"

 The shorter girl before her replied tonelessly, "He said only your name
before he became unconscious again."

 She frowned, wondering, then nodded sharply. "Very well. I'll see him,
then. Has professor Sanada said anything else about him, yet?"

 "No."

 ***

 The form on the bed stirred weakly, mumbling softly. She leaned forward
to hear the whispered words before he lapsed back into unconsciousness.
"I love you... Akane..."

 Yamano Akane blushed darkly, her eyes widening at the proclamation.
Turning to Dee, she squeaked out, "Has he been saying that a lot?"

 The shorter green-haired girl simply stated in her monotone voice, "He
has not said that until you arrived."

 Akane nodded, swallowing and looking back at the unconscious,
well-built, martial artist before her. He was far too young for her,
but... but... "I wonder," she breathed, "if you believe in destiny..."

 Author's notes:
 Wow. No spoilers, even. Just a short spamfic to prove that a story can
be a crossover and not bash Akane. See?

Haiku of my lament:

Forgive my spelling,
my U.S. education,
