(Ukyou waves goodbye to a customer. She pulls out a photo album from
behind the counter and gazes longingly at the picture of Ranma. She
looks extremely miserable and sad, and then she starts to sing.)
I know, I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought that I could
live for no one else
But now through all the hurt and pain
It's time for me to respect
the ones you love
mean more than anything
(Ukyou flips the page to a group picture that shows her standing close
to Ranma, and Nodoka and Akane looking at the two of them in their own
forms of disapproval. Genma, Ryoga, Soun, Kasumi and Nabiki are also
in the picture.)
So with sadness in my heart
(I) feel the thing I could do
is end it all
and leave forever
(Ukyou shuts the book and walks out the door, locking it behind her.
There is a sign in the window with 'Sold' on it. She starts walking
down the street.)
what's done is done it feels so bad
what once was happy is sad
I'll never love again
my world is ending
(Ukyou thinks back to the times of Ranma happily eating at the
restaurant, but her face becomes distorted as she remembers how Ranma
was talking happily with Akane during the last several times he had
eaten there.)
I wish that I could turn back time
cos now the guilt is mine
can't live without
the trust from those you love
(Ukyou sighs as she arrives at her destination, the dojo. She joins
the several people who are already there. Genma keeps an eye on her,
but otherwise ignores her presence. Nodoka also keeps an eye on her,
but isn't about to ignore her.)
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love and pride
because of that, it's kills me inside
(Ukyou remembers one of the many times Ranma denies being in love with
Akane, and being hit by youngest Tendo. Ukyou was always a little
happy with the denial. But when Akane stomped off, he almost always
followed her. That had never failed to make Ukyou more than a little
upset.)
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down
tumbling down
(Ukyou sits in the corner as her tears start tumbling down her face.)
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down
(Ukyou looks at Ryoga and remembers using him in her attempts at
manipulating Ranma, and how doing that had only hurt her chances with
Ranma.)
In my heart of hearts
I know that I called never love again
I lost everything
everything
everything that matters to me, matters
in this world
(Ukyou remembers waiting for Ranma to arrive, but never showed...
Ranma hadn't shown because he had gone with Akane to... a wedding
chapel. Ukyou sighs, gazing around the room filled with people she
knows, but none she could really call a friend.)
I wish that I could turn back time
cos now the guilt is all mine
can't live without
the trust from those you love
(Ukyou remembers that days later Ryoga telling her about the marriage.
Nabiki hadn't even sold her that information, when she went to find
out where Ranma was.)
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love and pride
because of that, it's kill in me inside
(Ukyou looks at the entrance of the dojo and sees the guests of honor,
Saotome Ranma and Akane, enter. They look extremely happy. Kuno tries
to attack Ranma, but is easily defeated. Ranma makes a comment that
Kuno never had a chance- Akane was always his.)
It all returns to nothing, it just keeps
tumbling down, tumbling down
tumbling down
(Shampoo hits Ranma on the back of the head with a bonbori, and he
tumbles to the floor.)
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
tumbling down, tumbling down
tumbling down
(Ukyou just watches as a fight ensues, tears streaming down her
face.)
It all returns to nothing, it just keeps
tumbling down, tumbling down
tumbling down
(Various martial artist tumble to the floor, only Ranma and Akane
remain standing.)
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
tumbling down, tumbling down
tumbling down
(Ukyou slips outside the dojo and starts crying uncontrollably as the
post-honeymoon wedding reception for Ranma and Akane gets underway.
Laughing from inside the dojo drown out the sounds of Ukyou crying.)

Author's note:
This song seemed to fit Ukyou a bit too well, so I had to write this.
This is my first songfic so any C&C is appreciated.
