She sighed sadly, not being able to get much sleep the night before to the point where she got up and started walking, and continued to do so. The sun was just beginning to rise as she turned the corner to her restaurant. She paused and gazed up at the sun and watched it rise. "Ran-chan..." she whispered softly to herself. The past events had left her confused about basically everything she knew. She had first come here to strike revenge on Ranma Saotome, the one who took away her femininity. She stayed her because Ranma helped her find her femininity by calling her cute. Now what was left for her? Her restaurant was doing ok...but it felt empty and full of all the bad memories that she hoped to forget and tried to toss them in the back of her mind, with no real help at all. Konatsu bleeky walked out of the shop, broom in hand, to start working early when he saw Ukyo. "Miss Ukyo!" Konatsu cried as he ran over and embrassed her. "I missed you! Where did you go? I was so worried! Are you okay?" Konatsu asked her, flooding her with questions, some which she was unsure to answer. She titled her head up and tried to force a smile. "Yes...Konatsu..Im fine..I just went to take a walk.." she said forcing a wider smile, though in her mind she was unsure of her answer. Konatsu loosened his grip. "You must be awful tired, Miss Ukyo. Here, you go get some rest and leave the work to be done to me for awhile" He said smiling in his usual cute, feminine demeanor. Ukyo nodded slowly and walked into her shop, and directly up to her room. She lied down on the bed and stared up at the ceiling. "Why did you have to do this to me, Ranma...it was bad enough you had made me suffer threw my childhood, but now my life seems pointless..."She sighed and found herself start to breakdown crying. She grabbed her pillow and buried her face in it. "Damn you Ranma! Damn you! How could you be such a jackass to me! I hate you!" She punched her pillow and cradled herself in her own arms, tears continuing to flow. She knew she could never hate him..but the pain she felt right now was unbearable. She lied down on the bed and closed her eyes, and cried herself to sleep. ***************************************************************************** Ranma awoke as the sun shown brightly flooding the dojo with its light. Ranma rubbed his eyes and sat up. For a moment he expected Akane to run threw the door yelling at him about not being ready for school and to tell him what a "hentai" he was. Then slowly the memories of last night leaked into his mind, of Akane in her wedding dress smiling her cute smile at him and how proud his father looked. He sniffed the air, smelling breakfast downstairs. For once he felt truly happy about seeing Akane, but then reality hit him like Ukyo’s spatula. Shampoo,Ryoga,Ukyo,Tatewaki, and Kodachi would be looking for him, for revenge no doubt. He sighed. "Damn it... cant I have peace for once!" He slowly got up and got dressed then stumbled down the stairs and prepared himself to eat an extra large breakfast, for it would be any minute now that the trouble would begin again. "Another day in Nerima..." he mumbled as he turned for the kitchen. ***************************************************************************** "Saotome!!!" the raven haired boy wearing a bandanna shouted as he kicked a tree...nearly knocking all the left off. "You took away everything for me you...you.. you...ARG!!!!" He continued his beat-down on the defenseless tree. Last nights uprisings had not only sunned him, but filled him with rage. In his heart he was crying, but in his mind all he wanted to do was tear apart that pigtailed womanizer once and for all. With one final deathblow to the trees trunk it toppled backwards. Ryoga sank to his knees. "How can it be over..." he sighed. "It can't be over! How could Ranma have taken Akane from me! It just cant be!" He hung his head low and shook his head, whips of his charcoal-colored hair lashing about. "It just cant be..." His voice trailed off as he felt his throat tighten up, tears beginning to flow down his face. He gathered up his things and began walking to the Tendo Dojo. "I'll leave this place.." he whispered. "But first...I have a little wedding present to deliver.." He smirked, his pearly white fangs showing as he dashed out....in the opposite direction.... "Revenge will be mine, Saotome!!!" he cried, as it echoed threwout the forest. ***************************************************************************** Ukyo was awakened by the smell of fresh okonomiyaki being cooked downstairs and the hot steam being produced by the ovens, along with the bustling and happy voices of her customers. "How long did i sleep..." she thought. She rubbed her slightly red eyes and got up from her bed ever-so-slowly letting her feet hit the ground, holding her head from the throbbing pain of the headache she had developed from the stress. She went into the bathroom and washed her face off then forced a smile on her face yet again and jogged down the stairs to greet her customers. ***************************************************************************** Ryoga looked about curiously then pulled the map down from his face grinning. "Aha! The Tendo Dojo should be right here!" He looked up, awestricken to see a tiny restaurant infront of him. He marched into the restaurant and shouted "Does anyone know the way to The Tendo Dojo?!" The room fell silent as everyone starred at him. "Eh...go..gomen!!" he said feeling his face flush bright red with embarrassment. Sequentially everyone in the restaurant lifter their right arm and pointed in the direction Ryoga had came from. "Ar..Arigato!" He said as he slowly turned and went to run out the door, one foot up when he heard someone yell. "RYOGA!!" the voice cried as Ukyo ran over to him. He fell over mid-run and jolted back up and screamed "Why did you have to go and do that!!!!!" Ukyo blinked. "Sugar, you definitely need to learn more directional skills! You keep getting worse!!" Ryoga snarled. "Now that your hear you might as well rest abit and get a bit to eat, ya big ox!" Ukyo said flashing a half smile. Ryoga felt his stomach grumble. "Well...I am alittle hungry.." he said gratefully. He walked over and took a stool. "What'll it be?" Ukyo asked. Ryoga thought for a moment. "What ever you wish...Im not picky!" Ukyo grinned as looked directly into his eyes. "One pork okonomiyaki commin up!" Ryoga turned pale white as his eyes opened wide. "Po...pork?!" he squealed. "Yeah..pork. Or would you prefer maybe the regular!" Ryoga nodded intently. "Yes please!!" Ukyo nodded to him and went off to start on the okonomiyaki. "So how are things going for you..." she said softly looking down at the okonomiyaki, trying to look like she was concentrating instead of feeling upset. He looked up at her and instantly could tell her feelings. "Im...all right I guess..."She glanced over at him, hearing the inserinty in his voice. She paused and leaned over to him and whispered gently "So you still feel bad too..." He nodded slowly. "Its not the type of thing you go and forget....ya know?" She nodded, knowing exactly what he meant. He continued. "Im planning on leaving..ya know...find what I my life really means...." She looked up at him. "Leaving...?" "Yeah..." he replied gently. "There is nothing left here for me but abunch of memories and the image of a life Ide rather forget I had..." Ryoga looked down abit."To where....?” Ukyo asked, not looking up from the okonomiyaki. Ryoga thought for a mominte. “Probably to Jusenkyo..to...” he stoped himself,then thought of a quick coverup. “to..get something I’ve been wanting to get for years.” Ryoga sighed,sighing with some slight relief, Ukyo didn’t want to dig deeper into his life, and walked back to him.Ukyo sighed gently and placed the newly finished okonomiyaki infront of him. He reached into his backpack to hand her payment but she grabbed onto his hand. "Its on the house.." She said smiling slightly at him. He smiled up at her and nodded. "Thank you..." "Anytime, Sugar...anytime" Ryoga quickly ate up the okonomiyaki then collected his things once more. He watched Ukyo for a moment and how sad she looked..even doing the thing she loved the best. "She looks so sad..." he thought to himself. "Ukyo...." Ryoga said, a slight nervousness in his voice. Ukyo looked up slowly at him. "Yeah,Sugar?" she said in one of the saddest tones he had ever heard. "I'll be leaving now..." he said softly. Just as Ukyo went to say something he blurted out "And I was wondering if you like to come..." He squinted. There, he did it. He couldn’t stand seeing people sad, even if they did call him a jackass. Ukyo double blinked and glared at him. "Is this some kind of a joke...?" She said,her voice quivering. "No...its no joke. If you want to come,tell me now. I just thought..." he paused. "I just thought that anyone looking that sad couldn’t be happy and I can tell you want to get away from all of this just as much as I do!" Ukyo considered his question. "I..guess your right.." Ukyo said sighing. "I’d love to come...but...let me talk to Konatsu for a second...We'll leave tomorrow morning.. so everyone will have time to say our good-byes and me to find someone to take care of the restaurant..." Ryoga nodded. "I..have some unfinished business to attend to anyways. I will see you tomorrow morning, at sunrise." Ukyo added "I'll add an extra 2-3 hours to that..you may get lost on the way here!" Ryoga growled, but it slowly faded into a grin when he saw Ukyo chuckle. "Ja for now!" Ryoga said with a wave as he ran out of the store. Ukyo walked out and waved...then cried out to him "Other way!!" Ryoga stopped and blushed, then nervously ran the other way." Ukyo smiled to herself "Well...this will at least keep my mind off of Ranma for awhile..." ***************************************************************************** End of Okonomiyaki for 2, Part one:The Umbrella and The Spatula Keep Watch for Okonomiyaki for 2, Part two:Parting is such sweet...revenge?!
