Part One

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.
