Hmmm... Well, lets see... Ryouga decided of his own free will to leave
Akane for Akari (albeit after he got a wedding invitation, but still)
He wouldn't just dump Akari like that... he'd at least two time her.

And Ukyou? There is absolutely NO evidence that Ryouga and Ukyou are
friends, let alone give a damn about ieach other... Actually, there is
more evidence to say that they don't give a damn about each other - when
they meet they are either fighting each other or using each other. Any
relationship based on using each other is going to fail... The only place
where Ukyou and Ryouga are shown to get along (when not using each other
for personal gains) is the bit that was written in the story...

Yes, Ukyou is much better defined... defined in such a way that she and
Ryouga don't care about each other one bit, that they would use each other
at the slightest oportunity, and fight the rest of the time.

Kun-chan...

I agree, which is why I am trying to have Ryouga and Ukyou hacking on each 
other all the time (notice how they keep having all these little tiffs ?)

I am also trying to flesh out a REASON behind any relationship that MIGHT
occur between them.

Their relationship (should be) starting from antagonists and moving toward
friendship.

Also, I am trying to decide exactly what would happen if Ryouga finally
got together... how would it work?


just some commentary.....
