Arigato! ~***************************~~~@~~~**************************~ Ryoga jogged towards the Tendo Dojo, his heart pounding with rage and excitement. He slowly slowed down and stopped when he saw a fork in the road. "Which do I take..?" he thought to himself. He went to reach into his backpack for a map, but paused, and reconsidered. They had never helped him before, so why would they now? He took a deep breath and ran to the east, which, to his surpise later on, was the right direction! He stopped jogging at the end of the road and looked up, expecting to see a house,or even Ucchan's Okonomiyaki again.. but to his surpise he stared strait at the Tendo Dojo. A grin formed on his face about his new "victory" and was filled with even more determination then before. "Saotome, your mine!" he said laughing almost evilly as he walked towards the door. ************************************************************** "Konatsu..."Ukyo began, then paused. No, she decided to wait and tell him last. She took a deep breath. Konatsu ran over to her eagerly. "Yes, Miss Ukyo?" He said in his regular feminine way. Ukyo looked over at him then thought to herself about something. She nodded. "Konatsu, please take over the shop for abit, I have to check something." She said. Konatsu nodded, smiled, and went off to caring for the shop. "I'll be back soon, by sunset hopefully." And with that she dashed out of the shop. She started running in the direction of the Tendo Dojo. She knew that eather Ryoga had gotten lost, he wanted one last fight with Ranma, or he wanted to say goodbye to Akane. Maybe both. ************************************************************** Ryoga burst into the doors of the Tendo Dojo. "Saotome!!!" He cried. Then blinked seeing Kasumi staring over at him. She smiled and pointed upstairs. "Ranma is training right now. I'm sure he’d love your company." Kasumi smiled once more and began sweeping the floors again. Ryoga walked up the stairs, pausing to say thank you, then ran up. "Saotome!!!" he cried as he threw open the first door he saw. Nabiki and Soun looked up at him from their card game. Ryoga growled and slammed the door. "Odd boy that Ryoga..." said Soun. "I don’t know about Ryoga, but the odd thing is I got a flush" She said lying her cards down for him to see. Soun's jaw almost dropped threw the table. "That’s the third time strait!" He said astonished. "Lucky cards!" Said Nabiki. "I just hope you have enough to pay me!" Soun blinked then lowered his head in shame. "Better luck next time!" ************************************************************** Ryoga charged into The Tendo Training Hall, but saw no Ranma. "Where the hell is he?!?" He screamed. "Where in the hell is who, P-Chan?" said a familiar voice. Ryoga turned around scowling. "Ranma..finally!" Ryoga said with slight relief in his voice. "Looking for me, ey p-chan?" Ranma said with a grin. Ryoga tossed his belongings to the side and grabbed his umbrella and put himself in fighting stature. "I challenge you, Saotome!" Ranma grinned to himself. "Lil P-Chan back for more, ey? I suspected at least one fight after the wedding, well now I got it! I accept!" Ryoga shot forward like a flash giving Ranma no time to think as he started throwing punches and kicks every which way, Ranma dodging every single one. "I thought we where going to fight, not play pattycake!" Ranma said wisely. Ryoga was getting annoyed. "Damn you Ranma...." he thought to himself. Ryoga charged forward again, this time with more determination, his fist hitting Ranma directly in the stomach. Ranma stumbled back slightly, then decided enough was enough. He dived at Ryoga as his fist met Ryoga's jaw, then tripped him to the ground. Ryoga reached up and touched his lip, then drew his hand back out infront of his face only to see the blood from his lip. Ranma smirked. Ryoga immediately thrust his hands out infront of him and concentrated hard as he softly mumbled something to himself along the lines of "Shi Ne..Saotome!" Then yelled allowed "SHI SHI HOKO DAN!!!" as a stream of pure blue ki energy shot from his hands and hit Ranma into a wall, leaving a nice hole where Ranma's body had hit. Ranma relaxed himself and adjusted to the pain, then leaped out ready to attack Ryoga with all he had when he heard a voice. "I’d stop right there, sugar!" ************************************************************** Sure enough the kawaii chef had found her way to the Tendo Dojo, and was very impressed that Ryoga did also. But she looked annoyed. She wielded her spatula, then glared at Ryoga. She raised it above her head then brought it down upon Ryoga's head. Ryoga squirmed back holding his head. "Why in the hell did you do that?!" he cried. Ukyo smirked. "Couldn't wait for me, could ya, you jackass!" Ranma didn’t like the sound of that one bit. Could Ukyo really be that mad at him? And why would she be? Ukyo looked over at Ranma coldly. "This is for ruining most of my life, you insensitive jerk!" She shouted. Ryoga went to throw another punch at Ranma, which of coarse Ranma invaded, but suddenly felt cold metal hit his jaw as he was lifted off the ground on the spatula, swung, then thrown into the air and hit like a baseball. Ukyo watched Ranma fly threw the air towards a group of trees, then moments later a BANG as the trees shook. Then someone shouted "timber!" as a tree fell down, hitting the earth with a thud. Ukyo glanced over at Ryoga. "What?" she said as she put her spatula away. "No...Nothing" Ryoga said dumbfoundedly. He never saw Ukyo actually hit Ranma that hard before. He shrugged it off. He grinned slightly to himself as he thought. "Looks like Ukyo had alittle wedding present to deliver Ranma aswell!" "Ryoga?" Ukyo said looking over at him. Ryoga shacked his head abit then looked back over. "Yeah?" "I'm gonna pay alittle visit to Genma before we go, wanna come?" Ukyo asked. Ryoga shook his head. "I have to say goodbye to Akari...." Ryoga said, a hint of sadness in his tone. Ukyo nodded slowly. "I understand...I'll meet you at Akari's house when I'm done" Ryoga sighed and agreed, then slowly walked down the stairs and out of the dojo. Ukyo couldn’t help feeling sorry for Ryoga, just abit, but she shrugged it off. "Gotta admit..he has a heart at times" she said to herself, then walked off to find Genma. ************************************************************** "*Munch,munch munch*" Genma sat on the floor reading the newspaper, one hand holding it, the other hand going in and out of the bowl full of trailmix that Kasumi had prepared for him as he stuffed handful after handful in his mouth. Ukyo opened the door and tossed a spatula at Genma, swishing right by his head and hitting the wall. Genma turned his head to see Ukyo standing in the doorway prepared for a fight. "Your numbers up, you giant jerk! I challenge you! I'm going to make you pay for all you did to me! You ruined my entire life and the lives of others!" Genma got up slowly and started to run,but froze and grabbed the bowl of trail mix then started running. Genma dodged each of the spatulas Ukyo was tossing at him as they one by one hit the wall laving an imprint of the shape of his head on the wall. Ukyo took her trademark spatula and flung it directly at his face as Genma thrust the bowl of trailmix infront of his face, the spatula meeting it head on knocking it out of Genma’s hands and onto the floor. "Not my trailmix!!! Take me instead!" he cried as he sank to his knees. The spatula worked itself as a boomerang and came directly back into her hand. She walked to Genma and whaped him with one good hit to the head and walked out triumphantly. "I would go and check on Ryoga but I think he should do that by himself...I better go break the news to Konatsu" she mumbled to herself as she slowly jogged out of the room and down the stairs. ************************************************************** "It has to be here somewhere..."Ryoga said softly. He looked from house to house but couldn’t seem to find Akari's house at all. He sighed, his "finding" streak now lost, along with himself. He continued to walk..right by Akari's house and kept walking,not even noting that he had missed it. "I guess if I keep walking around here, I'll find it eventually!" he thought to himself and with that he started running down the street looking house to house, people watching him from both sides of the street. ************************************************************** Ukyo walked into the shop to be greeted by Konatsu clinging to her tightly. "I missed you!!! How are you? Why did you take so long? Are you tired? Are you hungry? Are you sick? Are you..." Ukyo covered Konatsu's mouth and slinked away from his grip. "Im fine Konatsu, but..." Konatsu lifted his head. "But,Miss Ukyo?" Ukyo continued. "I will be leaving..tommow.." Konatsu blinked. "With Ryoga.." Tears formed in Konatsu's eyes as his stuck to her shirt like static cling like his life depended on it. "Is it something I did? Is there something I said? Something I can do?! Oh please Miss Ukyo please forgive me!! I'm sorry!!" Konatsu said bawling. Ukyo sighed and lied her hands on his shoulders. She didn’t think telling Konatsu would be this hard, but she did expect something similar to happen. "It's not your fault,Konatsu" She said in a soft,conforting voice. "I just cant stay in a place that will haunt me forever and reminded me of the mistake I've made all my life. I may return...someday. But I may not. I want you to watch over the restaurant for me. Get a chef to work here and take care of this place yourself. I worked hard on this little restaurant and I dont want it to collapse the day I leave. So please do this favor for me? Promise?" Ukyo looked Konatsu strait in the eyes. Konatsu nodded slowly. "For you..I will. I promise Miss Ukyo, that your restaurant will go on and be the best in the world!" He said fighting back tears as he hugged her again. Ukyo smiled some,happy that her restaurant would at least have a good and caring owner. "Will you leave my room for me incase I come back?" Ukyo asked. Konatsu nodded. "I'll never change it and I'll keep it nice and tidy for you!" Ukyo smiled. She was going to miss having Konatsu around abit. "Thank you,Konatsu" she said and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll be seeing you later tonight maybe to pack my things!" Ukyo shouted back as she ran out the door. She started in the direction to take her to Akari's house. By now Ryoga must have been waiting awhile, she didn’t mean to take so much time with Konatsu. ************************************************************** Ukyo arrived at Akari's house, but saw no Ryoga. She wondered for a moment if he had left looking for her. Then a thought crossed her mind. Could he ACTUALLY have gotten lost here?! She sighed and leaned up against the corner of the house, she would just have to wait for him, is all. She looked up at the setting sun and sighed. "I wish he’d hurry up..." she thought. ************************************************************* An hour passed, then another, till it seemed almost pitch black. Ukyo was growing tired to waiting for Ryoga, and there was still no sign of him. Suddenly she saw a figure walking towards the house, a distinctive cheeta-patterened bandanna on his head. "Finally!" she shouted to the figure. "Ukyo?" Ryoga said as he ran over. "Whatta you doing here?!" he asked quizzically. Ukyo growled, pretty annoyed. "I've been waiting here for you for three hours, you directionally-inclined jackass!" Ryoga blinked. "Here...? You don’t mean...this is Akari's house?!" He looked at it close and sure enough it was. "Eh... I passed this house before...I didn’t know it was hers!" Ukyo growled and banged on the door. "Let's get this done with,please?!" She said then backed up some. ************************************************************** "Who would be at the house at this hour?" The sleepy Akari said softly as she opened the door,yawning,and rubbing one of her eyes. When she noticed who it was she flung her arms around his neck,almost chocking him. "RYOGA-SAN!" she cried happily. "What are you doing here so late?!" She said smiling. Then she noticed the annoyed girl behind him, her arms crossed around her chest. She looked closer. "Ukyo..? What are you doing here..?" she said now with slight fear. Ryoga untangled the girl from around his neck with a sigh. "Akari...I...came here to tell you that I'm..." He paused and looked into her eyes, he saw the fear mounting in them. He finished he statement. "..leaving" Akari's eyes filled with tears as she buried her face into his chest. "Why?!" she said looking up at him threw tear-filled eyes. Then they got angry. "Is Ukyo apart of this?!" she asked, anger beginning to mount. "No,no, Ukyo has nothing to do with why I'm leaving." Akari sniffled. "Then it must be Akane! Your running away with her,arnt you?!" she cried harder. "No..Akane is one reason I'm leaving..but not because I am leaving with her...I can't stay in a place that reminds me of her......or Ranma...or any part of this cursed life of mine!" Akari looked deeply in his eyes, still crying. "Fine...if you must go...then..go...I...I just thought you where different!" she said flinging her door open and running in the house in tears, then she slammed it in his face. Ryoga felt his knees weakening. Ukyo walked over to him. "Ryoga...?" she said softly. Ryoga said nothing for a moment, then looked at her with cold eyes. "We should be going...but...its dark.." Ukyo nodded slowly. "I'll...see you tomorrow, at sunrise, infront of the Tendo Dojo..." he said as he turned towards the forest. Something crossed threw Ukyo's mind. Ryoga had everything he was bringng with him...he must not have a place to stay. "Ryoga,wait..." she said slowly. "You can sleep at the restaurant tonight in the guestroom." Ryoga started to blush slightly and stutter. "A..at your place?!" Ukyo nodded, and grinned. "Common, jackass, its getting late. We need sleep!" Ukyo grabbed Ryoga by the wrist and dragged him in the direction of the restaurant. ************************************************************** "Miss Ukyo! You've returned!" Konatsu said happily, a spark of hope in his eyes. "For one night...yes." Ukyo said to Konatsu. He sighed, supposing it was better then nothing. Ryoga walked in slowly behind her. Konatsu eyed him cautiously. "What is HE doing here...Miss Ukyo?" Konatsu inquired. Ukyo smiled at Konatsu. "He's my traveling partner, nothing more,nothing less...anyways..I'm going to go pack,then get some rest. I'll be leaving before sunrise.." She hugged Konatsu once then walked the stairs. "I'll leave you a letter before I go" she shouted down to him. Konatsu began to cry again as he whipped down the grill. Ryoga,feeling sort of bad for Konatsu, placed a hand on Konatsu's shoulder. "I know what it feels like...you'll feel better eventually." He said, hoping to calm the crying ninja. Konatsu nodded slowely,sniffling. "Thank you..Ryoga-san..” Ryoga nodded to him. Konatsu stiffened up some and whipped his eyes off on his shirt. "I'll take you to the guest room..." Konatsu said, motioning Ryoga to followed. Ryoga nodded, and followed. **************************************************************** Ukyo lied in her bed looking up yet again at the ceiling. "Alot has happened these 2 days..." she thought to herself. "Ranma getting married...then all of this...." she looked over at her backpack, which was packed with everything she needed. She looked out her window and up at the stars. She felt relieved and at the same time sad, but she knew she was happy and for once, she smiled a happy smile to herself. "Maybe this will be fun...Maybe it will be just what I needed... a new start to my life...I'll remind myself to thank Ryoga for this later...he proved he wasnt such a jackass after all...but he still is one, to me at least! Well...at least he's been nice so far. Ryoga, this is your chance to prove yourself, and all other guys, that you all arnt just abunch of jerks out to break someones heart. Still...I wonder what it will be like. Only time will tell.." She sighed, somewhere between relief, contemptment, and worried. She closed her eyes. "Good night...Nerima...for the last time.." ~***************************~~~@~~~**************************~ End of Okonomiyaki for 2,Part 2:Parting is such sweet... revenge?!
