HotaruMine: The One Who Remembers [Episode 33147]

by The Masked Lurker

Contrary to what Ranma believed, someone else retained their memories of the past. All of them. Memories for each one of the wishes Ranma enacted on reality. Along with the feelings that accompanied each of those memories. Just like she somehow knew about the invisible tattoo that ran along Ranma's wrist and palm, the girl somehow knew what had happened before and what had happened after each of wishes.

In this latest reality, Kasumi Tendo was the oldest daughter of one Soun Tendo (unlike a previous one where she was the only daughter). There had been no agreement made between Genma and Soun to join their schools of martial arts, but they had trained under the same master. So there was no engagement between the son of Genma Saotome and the daughters of Soun Tendo. But that wasn't going to stop Kasumi.

The girl had been the official Tendo fiancee in one of those wishes. She had kind of liked it. The excitement. The thrill. His constant presence. His endearing naivety. His warm embrace. His strong arms. His wonderful physique. His cute butt... Oh, dear! Oh, my!

In this reality, Kasumi Tendo had met Ranma Saotome three years ago, when she was still a first year high school student. It was summer, and she was bicycling home from a trip to a friend's house. There had been an accident with a fire hydrant on the road. She had tried to go around it. She didn't. She had lost control of her bike. The brakes had suddenly failed. She was careening down the slope at an increasing rate. She had been about to scream. And then, she was suddenly held in someone's arms, cradled in a safe embrace. There had been a crash. Peering over her rescuer's shoulder, she had seen her bicycle ran into a delivery truck at the base of the hill. Someone had just saved her life. Ranma had become part of her life since that day.

And during the anniversary of that special day, Kasumi would attempt to get in touch with Ranma to show him her thanks once again. But each year, as she stood on a street corner near his home, she would lose her nerve. Would he think it odd for her to show up one year later? Two years later? What if he thought she was weird? Would he remember her? What if he didn't like her? Would he think the three years difference between them to be too much? What if he thought she was too old for him? What if he had someone else?

This year though, things will turn out differently. Armed with the memories and emotions of previous wishes, Kasumi Tendo set out for the Saotome home. Today would be the day that Ranma Saotome would become hers! Hotaru Tomoe had better watch out! Kasumi Tendo will win this time around!
