I've spent most of my time writing Dragon ball Z yuris and a final fantasy 8 one so now i'm trying my hand at Ranma. I haven't read many so i don't know how well i'll do with this couple. flames are fire for my stories so they won't get me discouraged. Do we update the same way as submitting. ------------------------------------------------------------ It was a gorgeous fall day in Tokyo in the Nerima district as the Ukyo opened her restaurant for the days customers. She was working in the restaurant full time since she and her friends had graduated the summer before. She was still feeling a little down since Ranma and Akane had finally confessed their love and were married after graduation, but she was happy for her Ran-Chan and even helped out with the wedding. But now it was time for her to think about her business. After setting up her sign and going back in she was met by Kunatso and saw her down feeling. "What is wrong Ukyo-san." the feminine looking-male ninja asked. "Nothing, Kunatsu I'm just a little tired. Thanks for the concern sug." Kunatsu let it go and began cleaning the tables and making sure everything was ready. Little to Ukyos knowledge about a block away a certain purple haired girl was feeling just like her. That morning the Cat Cafe was opening as well but Shampoo was still fretting over the fact that Ranma was married to Akane. "Stupid fem boy. Marry pervert girl over beautiful Shampoo. His fault Shampoo stuck here in Japan than with Amazons." Cologne rolled her eyes at her granddaughters behavior but sympathized with her. After the wedding Shampoo had to return to the village and confess her failure in getting Ranma as her husband. The counsel had decided that Shampoo was an embarrassment and was forced to give up her high rank in the village and all her property. With this ruling Shampoo had to go to Japan as that was the only home she had. Luckily Pink and Link took her property and told her she was welcome at all times. After about an hour the morning crowd really picked up and both Uchans and the Cat Cafe were filled with to capacity with people eating and chatting. Both restaurants were so busy that there was no chance for Shampoo or Ukyo had no time for a break until almost 2 o'clock and decided to close up for lunch. Little did they know that Shampoo was heading for Ukyo's and vice- versa for food. Hey they cook the stuff all day I think they'd like something different every now and then. As she walked towards the Cat Cafe Ukyo was suddenly pushed by someone behind her and was thrown forward and as she embraced her self for the hard concrete her face landed in a soft mound of flesh. She had no idea what was going on until she heard Shampoo say "Shampoo not know Ukyo like her that much." Ukyo looked up and saw a smirk of amusement on Shampoos face and felt herself go beet red. Shampoo laughed as she saw Ukyos face blush, but stopped when Ukyo asked "Why are you down this way?" Shampoo stopped and said "Shampoo bring Ramen for Ukyo for lunch and hoped Ukyo would make Shampoo miyaki stuff." Ukyo nodded and said "Sure hon. Let's head back and I'll make you a special on the house oknomiyaki." Although these two had been enemies in the competition for Ranma they had become friends after the wedding. Although they still get defensive over Ranma when they are around him and end up brawling over his attention but they are quick to make up and not to break anything. When they reached Ukyo's they were greeted by a bowing Kunatsu and Shampoo bowed back to him showing off an excessive amount of cleavage and made a string of blood leave his nose. Seeing the ninjas face Ukyo told him to leave and clean the kitchen. "Sorry he's a bit shy." Shampoo just said "That okay. Shows he has respect for women." As she said this Ukyo started flipping the batter and began making a chinese type of her specialty. When it was done she flipped it into the air and caught it with her spatula and slid it onto a plate and handed it to the amazon who handed her a bowl of ramen and they sat down and ate the food. As they ate they began to talk about the day and what they'd do after closing. "Well Shampoo wanted to go see new movie but since no Ranma I don't see any reason to go." the amazon said as she ate the japanese pizza. "Really. I have nothing to do tonight maybe I'll go with you." Ukyo replied and saw a look of extreme happiness spread across her face. "Ukyo really want to go with Shampoo?" the amazon asked through a mouth full of okonomiyaki. Ukyo nodded and said "Of course. I just need to tell Konatsu that I'm going out and give him the rest of the night off." Shampoo laughed happily and hugged her friend tightly. "Thank you Ukyo! You make Shampoo very happy!" Ukyo patted her friends head and breathlessly said "No problem Shampoo. But would you please let me go, I need to breathe." Shampoo looked up and saw Ukyos face turning purple at the strength in the hug and let her go and replied apologetically said "Sorry Ukyo. Not have anything to do in a long time, and having a friend go really make me happy." Ukyo smiled sympathetically and said "It's alright. I've had about as much to do as you and I think it is time to take a break." Shampoo nodded and said "Well maybe after tonight Ukyo like to go shopping with Shampoo and help expand wardrobe." Ukyo noticed where Shampoo was implying and said "Well I really should think about being a little more feminine from now on. Since Ranmas married maybe it's time to start looking for other men to attract." The two laughed for a minute until Shampoo noticed that it was time to get ready for the dinner crowd and said her goodbyes. After Shampoo left Ukyo got the shop ready for the crowd as well and was glad that it wasn't as busy as it was earlier but it was still a good run. Once everyone was gone which was at 8, Ukyo decided to close up early and helped Kunatsu clean and gave him the rest of the night off, and then left to go and spend the evening with her friend.
