Tears of Revelation

*Your standard disclaimer would go here but I'm too lazy to make one.*
[ STUFF HERE IS THOUGHTS ]

     Ranma softly felt the bruise on his face as he sat on some sidewalk in Nermina. Ranma than began to think about how he received his free air flight. Shampoo had been doing her sex kitten act (gotta love the pun ^_^) and Akane just happened to walk in. To make matters worse for Ranma, when he went to push Shampoo away, his hand touched her chest and Akane began to fume. Ranma laid back on the sidewalk watching the people pass by and a few stared at him. [Akane is becoming worse and worse everyday. I don't think I can live with this anymore...] Ranma turned his head and saw the Ucchan's sign. [At least I'm back in friendly territory] Ranma stood up and went into Ucchan's.

*************

     Ranma was sitting on one of the stools at Ucchan's. Ranma held his head with his hands and rested them on the counter. For some reason he felt very tired and only slightly paid attention when a sizzle came from the grill. Ukyou didn't want to pry into Ranma's problems but she was always listening when he spoke. She tried to cheer him up a bit by giving him a small smile while she skillfully cooked her famous okonomiyaki. Ranma just weakily looked up at Ukyou and forced himself to make a weak smile to his childhood friend. [I wonder what is wrong with me... Maybe Shampoo slipped me another drug or something.] Ranma shook his head at the thought since he hasn't eaten any of Shampoo's ramen in a while. "Ran-chan? Ran-chan? I finished your okonomiyaki," Ukyou slid the warm plate up to Ranma.

     Ranma looked at Ukyou's delicious creation, complete with chopsticks and a heart shaped with the sauce. He raised his head to take in the exotic aroma, [Well maybe if I eat something I'll feel better]. Ranma took his chopsticks, he slowly cut and ate a part of the okonomiyaki. Ranma carefully chewed on the small piece to make sure he could taste all the flavor of it. [No wonder I like coming here, Ucchan's cooking is the best I've tasted, even giving Kasumi a run for her money. Maybe I should actually chew my food slower instead of eating as fast as I can.] While Ranma was busy eating, Ukyou occupied herself by cleaning up the grill and putting everything back in order. Ukyou stretched her arms, it was a busy day for Ukyou [I wonder what is bugging Ranma, he isn't acting like his usual self. I think I better talk with him now.] "So Ran-chan what is making you blue?" Ukyou gave her complete attention to listen to Ranma's response.

     Ranma stopped picking at his food with his chopsticks and put them to the side. He looked up to Ukyou with confusion in his eyes, "I don't know Ucchan," Ranma paused to think more, "I just feel really tired for some strange reason."

     Ukyou walked over and took Ranma's hand with her own. Ranma pulled back, surprised by Ukyou's forwardness but her calm look had its effects on Ranma and then he followed Ukyou to one of the booths and sat down. Ukyou took postion behind Ranma and placed her hands on his shoulders. "Ran-chan I'm going to give you a massage so just sit back and relax," Ukyou traced small circles with her fingers on Ranma's back as she spoke.

     Ranma almost stood up to go but the gentle touch of Ukyou's massage loosened his tense muscles and he just sat back. The sensation of Ukyou's touch sent Ranma's mind drifting off into space and caused him to forget about all his problems. Ryouga and Mousse attacking him, Akane beating him with her mallets, or Shampoo trying to use another love potion on him just seemed to go away as Ranma felt the ripples of pleasure coursing through his back. Ukyou's fingers felt like magic as they moved with ease along Ranma's sides. [Ummmmm Ucchan is really good at this, I'll have to thank her...], Ranma's eyes slowly closed and he drifted off to sleep.

     Ukyou kept working on Ranma until she felt his body tilt backwards and then she laid him fully out on the booth's bench. Ukyou felt a sense of happiness as she saw the blissful smile on Ranma's face. She brought her hand down to brush Ranma's hair from her face and then strumed her fingers on Ranma's soft skin. [I'm sorry Ran-chan but you were so tense you needed a good rest.] After watching Ranma sleep for a few moments, Ukyou stood up and went to finish cleaning her grill. [Well he should be sleeping until about tomorrow morning. I better get him a blanket so he doesn't catch a cold.] Ukyou thought to herself as she wiped the grill. Today went like every other day before, Ukyou was busy cooking up a storm of okonomiyaki and then Ranma came in with his problems and she gave him a friendly ear and he got everything off his chest. Ukyou's knees began to feel weak and she almost fell down but she positioned herself against the wall. Ukyou was panting and she could feel her hot humid breath against her hand. [I can't stay down here, Ranma might see me. Oh God why does this have to happen now while he is here.] Ukyou struggled a bit to stand up and then she headed for her room. Once she finally made it, she turned the lock on the doorknob and collapsed on her bed.

     Ranma slowly opened his eyes and blinked a few times to adjust to the light. Ranma had a small blissful smile on his face, [Awww that was the best rest I've had in a while.] Ranma stood up and looked around and saw that Ukyou was not on the first floor. When Ranma went to leave, he saw that the grill was only half cleaned. [Hmmm Ukyou usually always finishes the job. I'll finish this and then check on her] Ranma picked up the small rag and began to clean the grill. Once he finished, Ranma put the cleaning tools back in their storage and he quietly walked upstairs. Ranma was about to knock on Ukyou's door when he heard soft sobbing from inside. Ranma knelt down and tried to listen better but it didn't help. He turned the doorknob very slowly and then opened the door a crack. Ranma saw Ukyou with her face buried in her pillow. Ranma's heart sank as he saw Ukyou lift her tear stained face from the pillow and then stare at him. Ukyou gasped and turned away from Ranma, and Ranma closed the door as fast as he could. [Oh God! I can't believe Ranma saw me! How did he wake up so fast...] Ukyou paused for a moment, [His training probably helped him recover so fast.]

     Ranma was beganing to sweat as he sat against Ukyou's door. [I... I can't let Ucchan be hurt anymore.] Ranma took a deep breath [It is my fault, I have to confront her] Ranma gathered his courage and opened the door. Ukyou was sitting on her bed, her hands were folded on her lap and Ukyou was staring at her floor. A dry silence was in the room as they both tried to figure out what to say or do. Ranma was the first to break the silence, "Hey Ucchan you didn't finish cleaning the grill so I finished it for you," a nervous chuckle escaped from Ranma.

     Ukyou lifted her head, her tears left small streaks but she did a good job over covering them up. "Thank you Ranchan. I... don't know what came over me."

     Ranma knew he had to help his friend. He would do what she always did for him. Ranma moved and sat next to Ukyou. He put his arms around her and pulled her close. "Ucchan, tell me what is wrong. You'll feel much better when you do. I know I do."

     Ukyou kept her face away from looking at Ranma. [I can't tell him... But then again I have to. Before I lose my chance now] "Ranma," Ukyou began to studder a bit and paused. Suddenly she grabbed Ranma's shoulders and buried her face into his chest. Ranma put his arms around Ukyou and embraced his friend. She tilted her face up to look into Ranma's eyes. "Ranma I love you," Ukyou said with new tears building up in her eyes.

     Ranma's fears began to subside, "Is that all Ucchan?" Ranma tried to give Ukyou a friendly smile, "I already know..."

     "No, it is more than that... please Ranma listen to my story."

     Ranma nodded and listened to Ukyou. "Ranma it really began when we were childhood friends..."

********

     Ukyou was breathing heavily as the older boy pressed his attack on. "Hey I'm going to beat you so why don't I get my free okonomiyaki now!" the older boy taunted to Ukyou.

     "That deal isn't valid with you! I only play with Ranchan!" the young Ukyou shouted back and readied her small spatula.

     The older boy laughed at Ukyou. "Ha ha that dull little spatula isn't going to hurt me! Watch this!"

     With his longer reach, the older boy knocked the spatula from Ukyou's hands and barely missed a strike to Ukyou's head. Ukyou jumped away, knowing well that her opponent was much stronger and better trained than her. As Ukyou kept her distance away from her attacker, her energy faded away and her actions slowed. Her opponent saw his chance and grabbed Ukyou, pinning her against a tree. "Are you going to give up now?"

     "No never!" Ukyou tightly closed her eyes, awaiting pain from her opponent.

     "Fine then," the boy bellowed, "now I'm goi..." The boy was stopped by a strong kick to his side.

     "Hey! Back off my friend Ucchan!" the young Ranma yelled. His eyes were glowing with anger and his fists were shaking with rage.

     The older boy grabbed his side in pain. "Damnit! I'm going to kill you!" He charged at Ranma and connected a hit to Ranma's chin.

     Ranma coughed out a little blood and then recovered. Ukyou was worried for her friend and stepped inbetween the two to defend her friend. Ranma put his hand on her shoulder and calmly moved her, "Ucchan I always beat you for okonomiyaki so let me defend you this time."

     The battle was extremely one sided. The older boy pretty much just toyed with the younger and unexperienced Ranma. But each time Ukyou tried to fight against him, Ranma would stop her and tell her he was alright. Ten minutes passed and Ranma's face was bloody and his stance became sloopy. The older was tried of beating on Ranma, "why don't you give up kid? Just tell your friend to give me some free okonomiyaki and I'll be gone... for now."

     Ukyou opened her mouth to surrender so Ranma's suffering could end but Ranma stood up and spit at the older boy. "I will defend Ucchan's honor at any cost!".............

********

     "And you did Ranma. You fought against that older boy until you almost collapsed. When you did that it was... It was the first time I felt feminine in my life. I had my hero, my Ranchan protecting me." Ukyou took a deep breathe, "when I saw my hero leaving me, I knew it couldn't be of his own will. That was an underlining reason why I trained so hard and searched so long for you Ranchan. There is more to my story, do you want to hear the rest?"

     Ukyou's story was tearing Ranma up inside. [How could my father be so cruel to trick me and abandon Ucchan?] "Of course I would like to hear Ucchan. It is my fault that you feel so sad. I hope I can atone to you somehow. Anyways I didn't do that great a job of defending you, your dad stepped in and chased the guy off."

     Ukyou gave Ranma a smile, "it is not your fault Ranchan. You didn't know, your father tricked you. And that doesn't matter Ranchan, when I needed you the most, you were there and you were willing to give it everything you had."

     "Ucchan, you said that you had more to say? I'm willingly to listen if you allow me to," Ranma gave Ukyou a reassuring pat on her shoulder.

     "Ok I'll continue but please can I have some time to gather my thoughts?"

     "Of course, I don't want to rush you."

     Ten minutes passes, Ranma stayed next Ucchan even though it was very late in the day. Ukyou glanced at the clock on her nightstand. "Oh Ranchan! You better go home now, it is very late!"

     "I can't leave you like this Ukyou, please tell me your problems."

     Ukyou bit her lip and continued, "Ranma, when people heard that you left it hurt me a lot. Also the people around me were not very friendly..."

     A small group of girls were giggling at Ukyou. As Ukyou was already feeling bad, the girls twisted the dagger.

     "Oh did you hear about Ukyou?"

     "Yeah I heard, but I can believe it though."

     "Why do you think that?"

     "Well her 'fiancee' was pretty cute, and I mean come on who would want to be with that tom boy."

     "Yeah I know what you are talking about, I wouldn't mind being married to him but I bet he left her because she is so manly."

     Ukyou tried to keep her emotions buried but a slight tear squeezed its self out. The other girls saw her and started whispering to each other. Ukyou started to run off to the other side of the playground where most of the boys played. "Hey look it's Ukyou! Did you come here to play with us because you are a boy too?" The group of immature boys laughed at the pathetic joke.

     When school ended, Ukyou ran straight home and went into her room. The young girl cried her eyes out onto her pillow. When all her tears were spent and she sniffed a bit, she wiped her eyes and picked up her spatula. [They are right... That's why Ranchan left me because I am a tom boy. Well if that's what I am supposed to be than so be it!] Ukyou then knocked on her father's door. The door opened and Ukyou walked inside, "Daddy, I want to know how to fight like you..."

********

     "Ranchan, I tried to hide by dressing like a man. But I couldn't face the real fact that I missed you. I used my anger and rage as a mask to cover up my real self. No one has every seen this side of me, I was very good at hiding my pain but it ate away at me. I knew that one day I was just have an emotional break down but I just pushed it aside."

     "Ucchan so you mean when I came in here all the time and you acted happy..." Ranma hugged Ukyou tighter after hearing her story.

     "I was hurting inside," Ukyou finished Ranma's sentence.

     "I'm so sorry Ucchan," Ranma put his face next to Ukyou's. He was so close he could feel her tears slide down her checks and onto his. "You have been through so much Ucchan I have to honor your engagement."

     Ukyou pushed Ranma away and took his arms off her. "Ranchan, I don't want you to love me out of pity. If you really love someone else I want you to be happy."

     Ranma took his finger and placed it on her lips, "Ucchan, I really love you. I mean I might have liked Akane before but... I just can't deal with her anymore and you truly care for me. I want to be with you forever."

     Ukyou smiled and embraced Ranma again and squeezed him tightly to her. Ranma gasped a bit and then gave Ukyou a mischievous smile, "Ucchan who could ever mistake you as a guy. Your breasts are so voluptuous and..."

     Ukyou playfully slapped Ranma, "You hentai!"

     "What can I say Ucchan? You truly are one hundred percent woman!" Ranma smirked and then brushed her hair with his hand, "is there anything else you want to say? I'll stay here as long as you like."

     Ukyou thought about what she was going to say and then she blushed. "I... can't tell anyone my last secret, especially you."

     "What?" Ranma spoke with surprise in his voice, "why can't you tell me? I thought that you trusted me the most!"

     "Of course but if I say this you will probably think that I'm lewd or something."

     "Ucchan, I would never think of anything bad about you Ucchan so please tell me I would like to know."

     Ukyou blushed and sat next to Ranma but both of them kept their hands and arms to themselves. [I can't believe I'm going to tell someone this especially Ranma... Oh well here goes nothing]

     "Remember when we first battled after so long Ranchan? Well this has to do with that..."

********

     Ukyou viciously slashed at Ranma, everytime almost tearing into Ranma. "Die Ranma! DIE DIE DIE!" Ranma jumped away each time and then suddenly charged at Ukyou.

     Ukyou was caught by surprise and Ranma disarmed her. When they landed on the ground Ranma held the spatula infront of him with confidence even though he never used one to battle before. "I don't know why you are attacking me Ukyou, but I'm going to have to fight back."

     As Ranma shouted, he brought the sharp edge of the spatula down and the blade cut the front of Ukyou's shirt and her bindings. Ukyou's 'pair' came out from their containment and Ranma facefaulted to the ground. He then stood up and felt one of them. Ukyou bit her lip to hold back a moan of pleasure, [OH GOD! No one has ever touched me like this... it feels so good] Ukyou then realized that everyone could she her and she then slapped Ranma and yelled at him.

********

     Ranma's eyes were bulging from their sockets. [Oh geezz this has got to be every guy's fantasy] Ranma began to studder, his mouth wide open in shock, "Ucchan... you... errr... ummm."

     Ukyou looked away in shame and held her head low, "I know, I am so perverted, I'm so dirty."

     Ranma took Ukyou's hand, "Ucchan, you are not dirty. You are the most beautiful woman in the whole universe and I'm the luckiest bastard to even be with you now."

     Ukyou looked into Ranma's eyes, probing into his soul. She loved to see those eyes looking right back at her and Ukyou almost died when she saw the smile with them. But she was still a little surprised at how fast Ranma was able to admit his love. "Ranchan, how come you are just telling me these things right now?"

     "Well Ucchan, I've really been thinking about what I should do. I never knew that I would be throw into this situation and I was confused and tried for the easy way that would make everyone happy by being with Akane. I mean..." Ranma sighed, "I have no experience with women and so that was the easy way out. Everything would be planned out for me and I could just go back to my martial arts. But I learned a lot over the time I have been here. I really didn't love Akane... I just got used to being with her I guess. I want to be with someone who cares for me and I can care for. I have actually been thinking about you a lot and about my feelings for you. I love you my darling Ucchan."

     "Ranma we are starting to sound really sappy," Ukyou smiled, Ranma chuckled, and everything was good.

Author Notes and crap:

     Well I tried to make this well written in comparison to my other ones. I am a true believer that Ukyou and Ranma should be together. Yeah yeah all you Akane fans, "But... but.. Rumiko said that Akane and Ranma would be together." Well I'll draw my own Ranma 1/2 ending with Ukyou and Ranma so there! Well that ending I have really leaves a lot to be desired and that is why I have these extra ending following this. I just wrote them because I felt like it. I made them up from stuff I've seen. Enjoy! My email for C&C is Beefyboy98@aol.com


Alternate Ending One!

     Since their wedding, Ranma and Ukyou have well... been letting out their feeling that they have been holding in through their actions. It has gotten to the point where it is so bad that Ucchan's had to close down because Ranma and Ukyou locked themselves in a room together. Without a stable source of money, Ranma and Ukyou had to think of a plan to get money. One day they were walking down the street and they saw the QUIK-E-MART. Then they conversed together and formed a plan. They robbed the QUIK-E-MART. Now Ranma is a Senator in a black tux twirling a cane with a cigar in his mouth as Ukyou dances around in a pink bikini at their new Mansion. (Simpsons)

Alternate Ending Two!

     Genma and Soun chased Ranma and Ukyou out to the US and they were forced settle down in the state of California. During they time they were living there, a nuclear war broke out and took shelter in underground vaults. Ranma and Ukyou took cover in Vault 13. While there, Ukyou and Ranma raised a child. They named him the 'Vault Dweller'. Their boy then proceeded to save the world from the master and back on the post nuclear war ravaged land, they founded the village of Arroyo. (Fallout)

Ranma + Ukyo = Harmonious Marriage!
