Title: Sasuga wa Onii-sama
Plot, or Lack Thereof: The powers that be decides that Ryouga needs a real little sister.
Reason for Banishment: Weak characterization, borderline self-insertion. Awaiting rewrite.
Ryouga wanted to let go of Akane and go on with his life. But he couldn’t. Nerima, a place that was once only filled with painful memories, was now a place he looked forward to passing through. To see her smile was the highlight of his miserable existence–well, that, and beating the crap out of Ranma. But he knew that he would never be able to have Akane. From the moment that Ryouga met Akane, he knew that he had already lost to his bitter rival. Still, he dared to hope, but that only led into his digging himself into a hole of deception and shame from which he could never extract himself. And he could never seem to find Akari’s farm…
“DAMN YOU, RANMA! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!” He screamed, the valley around him echoing his cry. Tears streamed down his face as he collapsed to his knees, his burden of loneliness too great even for him to bear.
Somewhere within the vast, complex computer known as Yggsadril, the self-running program known as the Ultimate Force discovered an incongruity in the World Computer’s code. It wasn’t a very big one, and only affected one individual directly and a mere handful of others indirectly. Hardly a problem that would jeopardize the existence of the universe, but a problem nonetheless. Following the dictates of its programming, the Ultimate Force began looking for ways to correct this problem.
It soon found one.
Deep down, Falora was, as Belldandy always said, “a really nice girl”. She just had a tendency to rush into things and involve herself too deeply in matters that were none of her business.
Normally, this wouldn’t be too much of a problem, but Falora was a fledgling Goddess.
Which means that, if she tried hard enough, she could alter the vert fabric of reality.
On this day, Falora was heading back home from a particularly tiring training session when she heard Ryouga feeling sorry for himself for the umpteenth time. If it had been anyone else, Falora would have just passed by without a second thought, but Ryouga always weighed heavily on her heart. After all, it was sort of her fault that he had gotten tangled up in the whole Nerima mess.
I should have known better than to suggest him to Urd as a way to put Ranma and Akane together… Falora sighed. The poor guy. If he keeps this up he’ll be the most miserable man on earth. She sighed again. If only there was something I could do for him…
Falora eyes lit up as a memory came into her head. ”Of course!” she exclaimed, clapping her hands together in delight. She giggled as the whole plan tumbled forth and assembled itself. ”It would be perfect!” With some concentration, Falora changed a very small bit of data concerning Ryouga.
Is he ever in for a surprise! Falora giggled again before starting off again for Asgard.
The incongruity corrected, the Ulitmate Force saved a log file of the fix and continued running its constant diagnostic of the World Computer.
Kasumi hummed a little tune to herself as she cleaned around the house. Now that Ranma and Akane were getting along, the eldest Tendo daughter had fewer broken furniture, bits of plaster, or splinters to worry about. Kasumi never did find out where Akane kept getting those mallets from, but she didn’t mind. It was so sweet watching Ranma and Akane being nice to one another for a change.
Ranma stuck out his tongue playfully. ”Uncute tomboy.”
Akane did as well. ”Pervert.”
All right, so they still hadn’t gotten past the ‘insult each other and initiate a tongue war’ part. But at least they have finally admitted their feelings for one another, if not directly, then in the way they stare at each other and blush when they think that no one else is looking. Now, if only she could convince Daddy and Uncle Saotome not to rush them into marriage again…
A loud knock sounded at the door. Akane and Ranma exchanged worried glanced, and touched hands for a few moments to lend each other support.
“I’ll get it,” Kasumi announced, heading towards the door, wondering who could it be. Kodachi, Shampoo and Ryouga usually ne
