She'd been on her way to her Ran-chan's house. Well, it was actually the Tendo Dojo, but that was a minor technicality where she was concerned. The important thing was, it was where he lived and, to her, that was all that mattered. She'd even gotten dressed (sort of) and had made a special dish for the occasion.
Enroute, she heard he'd gone over to the Nekohaten. Ukyo was sure his only reason for doing so was to grab a bite to eat. But she knew that hussy wouldn't miss the opportunity to sink her claws in him anyway. She'll probably try and slip him something too. she figured. I better hurry.
Bunching her leg muscles, she leapt, taking to the rooftops as all Nerima martial artists do. Ukyo jumped, with practiced ease, going from roof to roof, her long auburn hair flowing behind her. Amazingly, she never dropped her serving tray, which remained perfectly still in her upturned hand. It was a skill known to all good chef's everywhere.
Ukyo: *scowling at the author* "Whadda ya mean, "good"?!"
Okay. Make that, to master chef's everywhere.
Ukyo: *primly* "That's better."
It wasn't long before her destination came into view. She leapt down, failing to notice (and narrowly missing) Ryoga as she landed.
She could see Ranma inside... with Shampoo. From what she could see, they were only talking. It seemed she'd made it in time. Of course, just because nothing had happened didn't mean that it still couldn't. Ukyo wasn't about to take that chance. Hastily, she dashed inside, making it just past the doors and into Ryoga's line of sight. And it was at that moment that the cloud had gone off, enveloping both of them.
Ukyo hacked and coughed, momentarily disoriented. Behind her, the Lost Boy raised his forearm to shield his eyes, while using his shirt collar to cover his nose and mouth, but not in time to prevent the dust from taking effect. Ukyo had turned her head to keep from inhaling much more of it, unaware she too was already firmly in its grasp.
In a picture perfect moment, the dust settled just as the two of them made eye contact. Ironically, in all the times they'd conspired to break up Ranma and Akane, and all those accidental "run-ins", they had ignored the signs that what each of them was looking for, had been right there in front of them. This time, they didn't have a choice.
Slowly, Ryoga took a step forward, shrugging his pack from his shoulders. As he advanced on her, Ukyo's breathing became heavier, almost panting. Heedlessly, she let the serving tray fall from her hand with a clatter, spilling its contents on the floor.
She wanted him, he wanted her, and so....
