That Girl
By: Ookami-hanyou Sarah
This is a song fic with the song That Girl by David Choi. I do not own the song rights or the anime Ranma ½ ! Enjoy and please R & R! My first Ranma ½ fanfiction!
Song lyrics are italicized.
Ranma lies on the roof of the Tendo house and watches the stars and moon move across the sky as the night passes by quietly. His mind reels with Akane's smiling and laughing face. Her face seems to haunt him because every time he closes his eyes her face is there.
'What kind of crazy attack is this!' Ranma asks himself ruffling his hair to try to erase the image. His thought drift off to the fight they had earlier in the evening and she lets out an exasperated sigh.
'Why does she act like I'm just out to hurt her all the time?' He asks the sky above, but the clouds just continue to roll by.
Oh, tonight I'm feeling fine; I'm alone just wasting time
No Friday movie nights or romantic candle lights
I'm just having conversations with the thoughts in my head
All I hear are angels crying, oh won't they just sing instead
It would be wrong for me to say…
Ranma hears the familiar sound of Ryoga's footsteps approaching and his face twists in an anguished grimace. He hates the nights Ryoga's in the Tendo house, because he sleeps with Akane as P-Chan and the jealousy drives him to a sleepless night. Ryoga lies next to Ranma and joins him in watching the night sky.
"Ranma, can I ask you a serious question man to man?" Ryoga asks his tone different than normal.
Ranma nods his head yes and grunts.
"Do you love Akane?"
The question hangs in the air and Ranma takes his time even though he knows the answer he tries to tell himself a different story.
I don't need that girl by my side; I don't need that girl in my life
I don't want to talk it out or hold her when she cries
I don't want to say she's my kind; I don't want to say that she's mine
I don't want to tell her that I love her more than life, more than life
After the idea hit's him, her face appears again smiling and happy and a warm feeling starts to overwhelm him.
"I'll be right back, Ryoga." Ranma says jumping off the roof he runs to the other side of the house and stands just under Akane's window. Her room is dark and he knows she's asleep but he wants to see her.
Honestly, this won't do, how is she doing?
I tell myself I'm feeling swell, but I know I'm such a fool
I can take it as a new beginning but you know I don't feel that way
Who will take all this pain away; I know it's wrong for me to say
He jumps to her window and looks in on her. She is sleeping peacefully and the moon shines just enough light for him to see her face. He thinks about everything he has put her through, all the fight's that weren't hers and the insults he told her almost every day because he didn't want to admit his feelings.
'I don't deserve her.'
I don't need that girl by my side; I don't need that girl in my life
I don't want to talk it out or hold her when she cries
I don't want to say she's my kind; I don't want to say that she's mine
I don't want to tell her that I love her more than life, more than life
He opens her window and enters her room quietly. Ranma stands over her and lightly brushes the hair back behind her ear. She moves slightly mumbling and he faintly makes a word. Unbelieving he steps back, but she says it again louder this time.
"Ranma…"
He blushes and his heart races, that one word wipes away his fears and doubts. He backs out of her room as quietly as he came and returns to Ryoga.
Talk about a sin, was the day I walk into the other side
I would run back in, I wouldn't waste any time
I know it's wrong for me to say
I don't need that girl by my side; I don't need that girl in my life
I don't want to talk it out or hold her when she cries
I don't want to say she's my kind; I don't want to say that she's mine
I don't want to tell her that I love her more than life, more than life
As he sits back down the sky begins to color with the morning sun.
"To answer your question, I do… I love her more than life."
