Sigh I Guess Life Will go on…Damn…

New AN: Um, due to some problems that have not been known I will have to put this story on hold of longer than expected, I hope to get back to writing around October but I make no promises. Sorry.

Old AN: Weird title, Eh? I finished the AN in CH.2 after I realized I didn’t and I added the Random Quote. My story Among The Chosen has been put on a long hold until I can get around to fixing it up and elongating the chapter I am glad that I received that review from Clan Crusher and I would like to thank him for his insight. Ah now that thanks have been made I feel better. I am willing to take name suggestions for the mysterious woman but I think Kimiko will do I just hope you agree. And now on with the hate…

It had been three weeks since Ranma had been attacked and permanently scarred on his face and he was still in his (although unknown to him) self induced coma. The fiancées (thank you for telling me about my mistake) had been endlessly trying to see him and try to arouse him but the doctors kept them at bay by telling them albeit repeatedly that he needed to come out of himself and he deserved the break from all the shit that was his life. The only people allowed to visit and they did so frequently were Nodaka Nabiki and Kasumi.

Akane had been put on trail and been sentenced to five years and major psychiatric help with her temper (yes I know I’m letting her off easy but revenge can be a bitch especially from what I plan with Ranma MWAHAHAHAHA) and 30,000 community service hours (very insane but hey I promised to make Akane’s life hell for the time being I’ll do my best) in cleaning the men’s public facility’s in the form of dress the owner of the establishment chose including being naked (Yes hears part of the ever so evil nature I’ll make sure she is “broken” eventually if you catch my drift but not until Ranma gets his revenge) oh and did I mention that the community service was only after her prison and help. NYAHAHAHAHA Akane I hope you enjoy because Ranma will when I somehow make tapes and send them to him to laugh at. Ahem sorry and back to out scheduled program.

According to the hospital staff he was doing fine and his wounds had healed and as thee had predicted the mark on his face had scarred and it was quite deep and would forever be a reminder of what his “love” had done to him and of course Kasumi still gave hope that it would all work out but we all know that will never happen especially after I promised to get revenge on Akane for what she did.

Akane was crying hard in her cell this was all Ranma’s fault he should of just taken it like a man and got up again and gone on as if nothing happened the bastard. Life for Akane had been hell everyone hated her sure most of the criminals in the prison were there because of Ranma but they all respected him and thanked him to some degree for showing them their errors and they all despised Akane for what she did. Even Happosai had taken Ranma’s side and (Thanks to me) did something unthinkable even for him, he had stolen all her panties when it was ‘that time of the month’ and she refused to use tampons and was humiliated from the stain on her uniform (I mean wouldn’t he know when her cycle started he did steal her panties and knew most of the females beginning and end (yes I know I’m a pervert for doing this but hey this is just one of the Akane bashing fics I plan on writing)). And the warden, who also liked Ranma (what a surprise), did not acknowledge Akane’s plea as something that deserved attention.

Ranma was still sitting there in his mind concentrating on the matter at hand he had gone through many ideas but none seemed right and the other option was to give her a name and let him be called master and to add to that if it came to that how was he supposed to come up with a name, ‘God must hate me…’ was a constant thought in Ranma’s head.

The female inside Ranma’s, shall I say ‘dreamscape’ had gotten bored around the second week and had started to practice martial arts she picked from watching Ranma and since there was no fatigue of need of food or drink once could practice for years and never need to worry about death unless on the outside they were killed. She was hoping that her ‘master’ would come up with a name soon after all it wasn’t nice to keep a lady waiting even when they’re under your control.

Ranma had just gone through about the millionth situation that might get him out of the mess he was in but once again in every possible way it failed so he had finally resigned himself to have accept the woman and give her a name to live with. Thousands upon thousands of names flooded through his head but none seemed right for the serene and seemingly caring woman practicing his art in front of him in this place. Her attention was not completely on the art it could be seen in her eyes she always had some part of her mind thinking or paying attention to Ranma.

Why couldn’t he just come up with a name it was useless to try and get out there was no other way and only after she was given a name could they both leave this place. She just wished he would realize that sooner and come up with a name.

Nerima had been in shock ever since finding out about Ranma sure they had expected Akane to mallet him that say but not for that reason of with such brutality the harm done even caught the ever drugged Kuno’s to something close but not quite sanity (that is impossible no matter how much you want to believe it). Tatewaki still of course ranted on and on about saving his pig-tailed goddess after hearing about Akane he had gone completely off her, scaring many students. Kodachi well she isn’t one of two that were almost cured. Principal Kuno had even given a day off in respect for his advisarie's misfortune.

The students had come to a state of unrest after hearing Ranma wasn’t bouncing back as usual but instead had been scarred and was now in a comatose state. They realized that their ‘hero’ was still human and not some alien race like the sayains whom got better every near death experience they had even decided upon thanking him for all the things he had done for them from getting rid of bullies to saving people from burning buildings to catching criminals and overall making the prefecture of Nerima a better place. The contractors had decided upon giving their business (Ranma) a huge thank you for the business he had brought to them (unknowingly) and for destroying buildings without putting anyone elses lives in danger by doing it himself (were else would Ranma get the money to pay off Nabiki). The mayor had been sending money from his own personal funds to help the young martial artist come back into the lives of the many who look up to him.

Ranma had came across a name that he thought would be good for his new found love, and he had also come across an idea to help the new career he was hoping of spawning. He looked to his newfound friend and hopefully something more and motioned for her to come to him. This was it she thought as she moved to her love/master.

“What do you think of Kimiko (I’m still open for other suggestions)?” Ranma asked the woman in front of him letting his eyes show a little love for her.

Noticing the little almost nonexistent chance that he might lover like she loved him she answered, “I love it, now that you have finally seen the light we can get out of here.” Kimiko said to her new ‘master’ and stared at Ranma expectantly.

“What?” Ranma asked seeing her expectant gaze.

“Well aren’t you going to leave?” Kimiko asked Ranma in a questioning tone.

“Um…I don’t now how to.” Ranma said as a blush appeared on his face in embarrassment and he started to scratch at the bas of his pigtail.

“Oh, you just have to want to leave and you shall.” She replied as I it was the simplest thing in the world.

“Well thank you so until next time.” Ranma said as he brought his hand out to shake hers in a way of saying nice meeting you. She pushed it away and grabbed him in a simple friendly hug, which he was able to return without being pressured. As he started to fade away he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and faded away.

After he had left she brought her hand up to her cheek and touched the spot he kissed and smiled to herself.

Ranma awoke to a bright white light blinding his eyes from the sheer brightness. When his eyes finally adjusted he looked around and saw he was in a hospital room and a set of hid clothes were next to him. He sat up and looked around the room to see if he could find anyone that would watch him change, seeing no one he got up and slipped out of his white gown and into his clothes he found his shoes under the bed and he slipped them. He walked out of the room to find his mother with the two more favorable Tendo sisters coming up to visit him. When the saw him they rubbed their eyes to try and dispel any false images planted into their heads when they finished they saw him still standing there but was now waving at them with his ever famous smirk.

They rushed to towards him as if they were dehydrated and had just spotted an oasis in a dessert. Upon reaching him his mother burst into tears and hugged him.

“Auntie I don’t believe that the human face’s natural color is dark blue.” Kasumi said and then burst out into giggles along with Nabiki.

“I’m sorry Ranma.” She said as she let go of him very reluctantly and backed away a little giving her manly son some room to breathe.

“So how long was I out?” Ranma asked interested to find out what had happened.

“About three weeks and I must say Nerima is all worked up about this to some extent that all are worried for you.” Nabiki said and held out her hand to the fee.

Sighing Ranma found his wallet in his clothes and pulled out 5000 yen and handed to her as she put it away he muttered, “Good to see you to.”

Ranma looked to his mother to find her with a little anger in her eyes and decided to try to diffuse the situation, “So mom when can I leave?” Ranma asked her wanting to the leave the hospital and get out and back to life.

“Well first we have to check you out then walk through front door to leave.” Nabiki said sarcastically.

“Ha ha ha. Very funny. Isn’t there like a time I should be staying for the doctors to see if I’m completely alright?” Ranma asked Nabiki.

“Actually no you don’t need to stay here, the doctors said as soon as you woke up you could leave but had to check out and that’s it.” Nodoka said to her son giving him a quick hug.

“So shall we…?” Ranma asked the group mock bowing and gestured to the direction to the stairs. Nabiki and Kasumi giggled at Ranma’s display and started to walk back towards the stairs, Nodoka in tow. Ranma followed them while lost in his own thoughts, he was thinking about Kimiko and how this would change his life if she could ever get out, sighing to himself picked up his pace to trying to catch up with the group.

When he reached the reception desk his mother had already checked him out so he didn’t have to go through the whole ordeal of doing himself. And with that the Tendo sisters and the Saotome’s parted ways for the time being.

00000000000

While Ranma had been out Nodoka had gone over to the Tendo household to get Ranma’s things and of course found a wailing Soun crying something around the lines of, “WAAAAAAAH! MY BABY’S A KILLER! GENMA’S DEAD NOW THE SCHOOL’S WILL NEVER BE JOINED! AKANE’S IN JAIL!” etc. etc. she also noted that the floor wood need extensive repairs from the water damage. She went up the stairs and went to the guest room and grabbed both packs not knowing which one was which, but of course she couldn’t lift them and had to call for some movers to help transport them to her family’s home. She of course missed Ranma’s very well hidden newfound joy. (PLEASE DON’T KILL ME I KNOW I’VE BEEN HOLDING OUT ON YOU TO WHAT THIS “NEW JOY” IS BUT IT WILL BE REVEALED SOON.) (WHIMPER)

Ranma was sitting on the roof of his mother’s house staring at the sky trying to figure out were life went wrong.

Flashback…

AN: I’m so sorry about leaving it here but the thing is I need to take of some things for the story and want to get this out for everyone. I do hope your enjoying this so far and remember if you have enjoyed reading this half as much as I have writing this than I have enjoyed this twice as much as you MWAHAHAHA!

VERY IMPORTANT:

I would like some feedback on this idea I’ve been toying with for the story: I add myself (in character form as in semi SI) to some extent in Ranma’s new life. I will not be all knowing and I will definitely not be all-powerful I would probably only like be able to match in martial skill Genma-Ukyo (without a weapon). I will also not know Ranma from before and have just met him and such. If you find this intriguing I might use it if not and my reviewers tell me so or e-mail me and tell me so I won’t.

I am also looking for a new pre-reader, as I cannot seem to contact my first one.

Also I need some feedback on this story for it seems to me that it has started to go downhill. Just an opinion but I want feedback so thank you ahead of time. Also what do you think of his new scar?

AN: Now that that is said on with the notes. I would like to thank you all for your reviews and support criticism is welcome as I am still a learning author.

RR:

Protector from Chaos Ch.1: up-date soon plz

AN: Though not deep it gives me confidence in writing more.

RubberNeck Ch.2: Sadistic huh? That explains why she is so... Anyway I like the story so far, keep it up Thumbs up

AN: Yay someone likes my story I feel so dizzy. As for sadistic I kind of stole that quote from Destroy All Humans but it suited me purposes just fine. Thank you for the vote of confidence.

Goku905041 Ch.2: why did ranma let akane attack him?

AN: As you saw what happened to Genma when Ranma dodged Ranma did not want others to get caught in her rage so he sacrificed his body to protect others.

Protector from Chaos Ch.2: so far so good. make Akane's life HELL

AN: I hope you enjoyed this chapter then for my evilness (even though I’m probably taking it to far) Thanks for the ego booster all authors need one from time to time and it also shows that even though I’m still just starting at least it seems people like it.

Innortal Ch.2: Not bad. I think you meants fiancees, as fiances is referring to multiple men.

A great little addition, and I look forward to hearing more about the spirit.

Innortal

AN: Thank you for pointing that out to me I’m very embarrassed about that I will be able to avoid that in the future. As you saw the spirit does now have a name (again I’m still open to suggestions). She has no real history as of yet but I’ll see what I can think of MWAHAHAHAHAHA.

Bobboky Ch.2: very good, i like it.

AN: Yay more praise I’m so glad that people are taking a liking to this quite a bit more than to Among the Chosen (it took me about 5-6 chapter to get 11 reviews if my memory is right, doubt it though). I also hope you to enjoyed this chapter.

Trugeta Ch.1: Good start. I'd never have thought that Akane could get carried away far enough to kill someone accidentally, but your Akane obviously has.

What astounds me is that she did not seem to show any remorse about killing Genma. Sure, he was a thieving and cheating man but he did not deserve death. Will Ranma stay at a place living together with someone who killed his father? Well, reading on.

AN: That’s right this my Akane so can do whatever I want with her BWAHAHAHA. Moving on…as you have found out she does have remorse in the form of rage. Ranma of course is now not living with the Tendo’s and Akane is behind bars.

Trugeta Ch.2: Whoa now Akane has gone well overboard. Is there any reason why she was this violent? Something must have happened to cause this for not even the Akane from the Anime series was this violent. I suspect some Amazon involvement.

The twist with the genie (for lack of better term) is interesting; so she's stuck in Ranma's mind and looks a lot like his female form... will she get her own body? Heh, I bet that would make the other fiancees very jealous. Till next.

AN: Yes Akane has gone overboard and the reason is her ever famous ability to jump to conclusions YAY. Yes it is true in the anime series she wasn’t this violent but she just killed someone and needed to take out her remorse over it (yes very weird idea I have so sue me). As for the ‘Genie’ as you have termed it (I like that might build off of it) I’m very sorry if I made seem like she was Ranma’s girl form but I planned on her having red hair for awhile I didn’t really aim for it to come out like that. Oh well I just hope people don’t get ideas about me separating Ranma’s forms and giving it to Kimiko.

Does anyone even read the response to his or her reviews anyways?
