wait? Chapter1
Why didn't you wait?
by
David Lindquist
Chapter 1 (Homecoming)
"Try not to spend all day training, okay?" he said
then looked at his watch. " Oh boy, now I'm REALLY
late! I'll see you later! Bye!".
[Extra . at the end there.]
*Hmm... nice,* Akane thought as she watched him
leave. A taste similar to honey and sugar lingered
in her mouth. It still amazed her that after almost
two years of their relationship, they still felt like
newlyweds. She shook her head.
...
*I'd never get a reaction like that from--* A small
sigh escaped her lips at the memory of him.
*--Ranma.*
...
Ranma paid just enough attention to where he was going
to keep from running into anything as he wandered the
Nerima streets. His mind kept mulling over what he saw
while trying to figure out why Akane would betray him.
[ I forsee much pain in the future for the both of them. ]
-----------------
"Thank you for coming to The Cat Cafe."
....
"Tsubasa getting worse?" Reno asked as he started
making two cups of tea.
....
"<I'm just greasing the spokes,> he replied. "<We
need her to tell us if Queen Heart shows up.>"
"<When, not if,>" she said irritably, then sighed.
Shampoo walked up to him, locked her arms around his
waist and nuzzled his back. "<Don't worry. He will be
here and when he does arrive, we'll get everything
settled.>"
The Amazon warrior didn't see the worried look on
his face.
[ Hmmm.... Makes one think. ]
**************
After she left the Cat Cafe, Ukyo shook her head.
*It's nice to know men find me attractive,* she
thought, then her troubles of the past two weeks
came crashing down. *Too bad only the weirdos
pursue me.*
[ So, of all the iinazuke, only Ukyou remains available?
Not that I mind a good R/U pairing, mind you, but
this seems abit obvious, but I'll wait to see how things
work out. ]
**************
A large spatula.
[A least somethings never change :)]
Before Ranma realized it, he had shouted the nickname he
called her.
"UCCHAN!"
....
The rest of her protests stopped as one name jumped
into her mind and it began to fill her with a growing
rage. She knew he would stoop pretty low to get her
affection, but this was way out of line!
"Ucchan?"
Ukyo ignored him as she placed her groceries down,
then unsheathed her battle spatula.
*The bastard even got his voice right!*
He seemed to become even more confused when she leapt
into the air and slashed her weapon towards him and
shouted:
"TSUBASA! YOU ASSHOLE!"
[ What a welcome home. ]
******************
"Oh my god!" She blurted out "It's not a disguise!."
"Yeah!" He said.
[ "Yeah!" he said.]
"R-Ranma?"
"Nice of you to remember me!" he replied
sarcastically.
The okonomiyaki chef just looked at him for a second then
began to pass out.
The last thing she heard was Ranma voice saying, "Aw,
man..."
[ Ranma: "I thought I got rid of that
girls-fainting-on-sight curse.
I guess I am just too good." Shakes head while leaving for
another
six years.]
************************
On a nearby rooftop, a lone figure watched the events of
Ranma and Ukyo's meeting unfold. The figure paid
particular attention to Ranma's reactions during their
fight.
*You've gotten stronger,* it thought then frowned, *and
angrier.*
[Angrier? Well, if I just saw the love-of-my life in someone
elses arms definately. But how did she/he get that? because
he broke Ukyou's spatchula?]
As the figure observed Ranma pick up the unconscious Ukyo
and leap on the rooftops towards Ucchan's, the individual
couldn't help but feel a great sense of foreboding and
sorrow.
[ Espicially for the Amazons, if this is Cologne or Mouse.
All the girls: What! You knew he was alive all this
time!]
"You should have stayed away," the figure whispered. "Now
the die is cast."
***********************
With Ukyo and her packages precariously balanced in his
arms, Ranma entered her restaurant.
"KONATSU!"]
His voice echoed throughout the building without any
reply. He set the packages on the counter, then took a
quick look around.
*Everything looks the same,* he thought. *Now where's
Konatsu?*
"Konatsu! Ukyo needs some help!"
[Ranma: After all, the world does revolve around me. So
nothing should have changed while I was gone, ne?]
A picture of himself sat there, bracketed by two
almost completely melted candles. In front of it
was a small offering plate. It appeared to have
been recently used.
*What the... ? I know she had a thing for me but
this is just too much!I'm gonna have to have a long
talk with her.*
[ Ranma also wondered what the shackles hanging
from the ceiling where for.]
A pair of hands suddenly wrapped around her chest
in a tight embrace. Before he could react, Ranma froze
as a memory flashed across his mind....
[So he didn't find a cure. Can't wait to find out what
kept him away for six years without so much as a
letter.]
Queen Heart's ribs hurt.
Renard Lacroix, her opponent in this match, was
good but nothing she normally couldn't handle. However,
ever since the fight started, the pigtailed girl had
been in a mental fog, unable to do more than defend
herself against him. Their last exchange ended when
he connected with her side. She barely dodged another
series of blows, then rolled to the far corner of the
combat platform.
Over the cheers of the arena crowd, she could hear his
taunts clearly.
"Come on, beautiful! It won't be so bad! In fact, I
gar-run-tee you'll enjoy it!"
She snorted slightly and fought down the urge to
throw up. As the martial artist began to circle her
opponent, she wished that her guardian, The Gambling
King, had never made that stupid 'If you can defeat
her, you can date her' challenge. Despite three
years of effort, no one had done it, but if she didn't
pick up the pace....
[Is this original back drop or a divergence point from
cannon. I am guess that Ranma is the QH, which would
mean that the Amazons knew what really happened the
whole time and lied to everyone else? I'm sure it will
all come out later, just wondering if I should know more
about what's happening here that you show.]
Rage filled him to the core as his memories came
flooding back. He wasn't 'Queen Heart', the
Gambling King's prize student, fighter and
accomplice. He was Ranma Saotome and he was
mad....
"LET ME GO!!"
The force of Ranma's ki field sent Tsubasa slamming
into the wall. The angry girl spun around in time to
see her attacker trying without success to stand. Ranma
noted absently that the main reason for the disguise
expert's failure was that he couldn't get out of what
was left of his 'clothes hamper' disguise.
Tsubasa looked up in horror as the enraged girl grabbed
his t-shirt and hoisted him off the ground.
"You... you're not Ukyo!"
"Doesn't matter, you sick freak!" Ranma growled. She
slammed him against the wall. "How dare you grope
me like some piece of meat!"
Tsubasa's eyes seemed to grow even wider.
"But... but you're dead!"
"DO I LOOK DEAD?!?!" Ranma yelled.
[ Tsubasa: Well, I wouldn't be caught dead without make-up
either, but...]
