Okay, guys, time for me to try my hand at a pure Ranma
vidclip! You may prime your Flamethrowers now, but don't
expect me to be badly burnt.
Author's note: This is Angst. Yes, it's dark. Anyone
with a soft heart may turn back now.
For those who wonder why Kima has such good relations
with Ranchan, well, I'll explain that in my fic, which
comes later (with much prompting from commentators, of
course).
Why are all the characters OCC? This will be explained
in the fic, per usual.
How can Akane jump like that? This will be
explained in the... I think you get the idea.
Will Sera be in this fic?
No. She's out for holiday right now.
Questions can be sent to me; I'll answer all of them
in my own time.
Now, let's get on with it!

Love Will Leave You Crying
Altered lyrics (well, not all that much) by Sera-chan
Original song by Sonia!
To the tune of
Tenchi Muyo! Universe OP
Get ready, love will leave you cryin'
[Scene zooms out from a black screen, until we see Ukyo
sitting on a mountaintop, crying]
It's gonna hurt you till your heart is dyin'
[Scene change; Ranma looks up, alerted by something
invisible, and leaps off]
Can't escape it, ain't no use in tryin'
[Akane leaps up after him and starts chasing him with a
chair]
You're no exception, love will leave you cryin', too
[Scene change; Kodachi sits on the engawa in the Kuno
residence, apparently discouraged]
Till you're a broken girl, poor you
[Scene change; Ukyo stares into a blood-red sunset]
=================
The day you see him, a lonely stranger
[Flashback: Chibi-Ukyo hiding behind a tree, peeping at
Chibi-Ranma, who is training with Genma]
You only pray that soon you'll know his name
[She puts her hands together, smiles and closes her eyes,
as if in prayer]
You finally touch him, then you're in danger
[Chibi-Ranma beats Chibi-Ukyo, takes the okonomiyaki and
runs away]
It won't be long before you feel the pain
[Chibi-Ukyo picks herself up and scowls, trembling with
anger]
===================
'Cause your emotions will overtake you
[End flashback; Ukyo looks startled for a moment, then
returns to her depressed brooding]
You'll look for heaven in his big blue eyes
[Shampoo pauses in wiping a table, looks at the camera,
and frowns, kicking Mousse away absently]
But he's no angel, and he'll forsake you
[Flashback Battle-Scene: Saffron falling, his body
breaking into little bits of ice]
It shouldn't come as any great surprise
[Akane gives up, drops to the ground with the chair, and
starts walking home, scowling]
====================
Passion isn't really happiness
[Kuno walks home from school, apparently dejected]
There is trouble in his sweet caress
[Kodachi sighs, playing with the end of her ribbon]
Lost in confusion you'll drown in delusion
[Ranma lands lightly beside Ukyo, who smiles a bit
shakily at him]
If You don't run
[Ryoga-buta runs from Akari as she chases him down the
street, Katsushiki in tow]
==============
Get ready, love will leave you cryin'
[Shampoo runs out of the door in the Nekohanten, her
heart in her eyes]
It's gonna hurt you till your heart is dyin'
[Nodoka walks down the street, katana in hand, a angry,
vengeful look on her face]
Can't escape it, ain't no use in tryin'
[Ryoga, now human and in some unidentifiable patch of
forest, runs as if the Hounds of Hell are after him, eyes
squeezed shut in pain, teeth gritted]
You're no exception, love will leave you cryin',
too
[Akane bows her head, and a tear trickles down her cheek,
dropping off the side of her face]
Till you're a broken girl, poor you
[The teardrop continues on, like a great silver pearl-
everything else has faded to black- and plops into a black
pool of water. Silver ripples distort the screen wildly]
=============
You think you're loner, a real soldier
[Screen clears; Toma stands at the edge of the floating
island, a weary look on his face, the tip of the
Illusion Sword grounded beside him]
But you have never seen this mister smile
[Ranma grins like an idiot; Ukyo smiles nervously]
You can't resist him, you can't control him
[Shampoo comes to a stop at a bend in the dirt road, she
stares at Ranma and Ukyo, tears fill her eyes]
Soon you'll be helpless as a little child
[Kasumi turns and smiles beatifically at the camera-
Tofu dances a merry jig behind her]
===============
You feel so foolish, but just remember
[Akane lifts her chin with new determination]
There is no lady who wouldn't be his slave
[Kima glides the skies over Nerima, her face intent]
He's hot as fire, cold as December
[Screen flash of Ranma performing a Mouko Takashiba-
switch to Ranma enacting the Hiryu Shoten Ha]
His kiss will drive you to an early grave
[Genma backs away from Nodoka, who is glowing red and
fiery yellow]
================
Every time you try to run away
[Shampoo whirls and runs away, sobbing]
Your desires are gonna make you stay
[Mousse watches her from a treetop, his vision
unimpeded for once]
Still in his power weaker by the hour
[Akane scowls, the chair in her hand breaking to
splinters in her grip]
Why Even fight
[Kodachi stands with new vigor, leaps onto the
rooftops]
================
Get ready, love will leave you cryin'
[Ukyo starts to laugh at something Ranma said; the
latter looks puzzled]
It's gonna hurt you till your heart is dyin'
[Kodachi arrives on the scene, flinging several gym
clubs at Ukyo, who dodges just in time]
Can't escape it, ain't no use in tryin'
[Ranma pushes Ukyo behind him, a resolute expression
on his face]
You're no exception, love will leave you cryin',
too
[Kodachi laughs madly; Ukyo and Ranma wince]
Till you're a broken girl, poor you
[Shampoo just keeps on running on and on]
==============
Passion isn't really happiness
[Ranma holds his hand out to Kodachi, his eyes sad]
There is trouble in his sweet caress
[Kodachi takes it slowly, and Ukyo looks rather
distressed]
Lost in confusion you'll drown in delusion
[Framed by the sun, Ranma takes Ukyo�s hand and places
it on Kodachi�s, apparently telling them to make friends]
If You don't run
[Kodachi wrenches her hand away and leaps off]
===============
Get ready, love will leave you cryin'
[Ukyo slaps Ranma and starts to run, leaving a trail of
silver tears behind her]
It's gonna hurt you till your heart is dyin'
[Ranma�s eyes are shadowed; his teeth are clenched as he
brings a fist up, and a tear drips out of the corner of
one eye]
Can't escape it, ain't no use in tryin'
[Kima alights beside him, and does not say anything,
but her eyes say it all for her- �You�re hopeless�.]
You're no exception, love will leave you cryin',
too
[Screen flashes; tiny snippets of everybody blinks
across it: Kasumi, Nabiki, Nodoka, Genma, Akane, Soun,
Ranma, Shampoo, Ukyo, Mousse, Cologne, Toma, Kirin,
Raichi, Kima, Saffron, Herb, Lime, Mint]
Till you're a broken girl, poor you
[Ranma-onna punches her fist upward at the camera; a
hurricane of blue energy spirals up at us, shattering
the screen into so many splinters of glass, which ends
the sequence]

Loved it? Hated it? Whatever it is, tell me!
