Ranma walked alone, it had been five years since the incident, and he didn't want to look back, there was too much pain and regret lying there, pain he didn't want to face anymore, pain he wanted to forget. He had though about it so many time's, and wondered if there was another way to finish it, he always came to the same though at the end, 'if only I could've stopped it', but he knew he couldn't have, and so locked the thought's deep down, but did he really believe what he thought? His thought's wandered to Akane, his now lost love, he remembered the day he said the three most important words in a relationship to her so clearly, as if it was yesterday. Nabiki had left for a University in America, and during 'Spring Break', Nabiki had sent tickets over to fly her family over to America for a visit and only her family, Ranma went with them in the end for Genma forced him, after talking Soun into paying for their tickets, but it wasn't a flight to were Nabiki's was schooling, no, it was next to a tourist resort, where Nabiki was taking her family on vacation, the little town of Silent Hill. During these weeks, he had a rough time, as he had to sleep outside the Lakeside Hotel, where the Tendo's were bedding, his father managing to talk Soun into letting him sleep in his room, leaving Ranma outside to camp. Ranma had felt strange 'vibes' from this place, but shrugged them off as he saw all the people having fun there. It was during the visit to Lakeside Amusement Park, that he finally admitted his love for Akane, who in return said she loved him back, they sat and talked and agreed they loved each other too much to separate, both sneaking away and eloping at the church to the north-east of the Lakeside. They had left, and not so long after, tragedy struck, and…he didn't want to think about that, the thoughts of losing Akane were painful enough. Two years later, he moved from Nerima, away from the pain, and let himself be dragged to America by some unknown force, there he got a visa and worked at construction sites for a living, his only connection keeping him alive instead of facing the demon's from suicide, was his Martial Art's.

Finally reaching his apartment complex, he went to check his mail, finding just one letter, addressed to just 'Ranma' and nothing else, shoving it in his pocket, he walked up the winding stairs to his apartment, unbuttoning and shrugging of the shoulders of his overall's, he opened his door, to which he entered and closed it. Taking the letter out of his pocket, he let the overall's drop to the floor, where he picked them up and through them into his hamper, walking towards his bathroom; he idly drops the letter onto the tables, his mind set on his night job. He came out eventually, rushing around in his female form in a skimpy outfit, muttering to herself, 'I'm late, I'm late', with a burst of speed, she was out the door, the letter still not opened and just lying on the table.

When Ranma finally returned, her visage wasn't that of a happy 'girl', but rather one that is quite angry, maybe you should make that, VERY angry, as she walked back into her apartment, she dumped her key's while mumbling 'damn perverts, can't keep there hands to themselves'. She just fell back on her couch, too weak to move really, and looked over, picking up her remote, she put it on TV, where she witnessed a report about a man blubbering on about monsters appearing out of no-where and all he could do was run, she idly thought 'you haven't witnessed anything, till you've lead my life mate' as she watched as he was lead of into a white van, that definitely wasn't a hospital van, she wondered if she would be taken into an insane asylum if she ever told people what she had been through in the early stages of her life. Turning of the TV, she rested her back again, leaned backwards and lifted her feet onto the table, which caused her feet to land on a fork, that was half covered by the letter from previous, causing it to flip into the air, and float onto her lap. Looking down and seeing it, she shrugs and opens the envelope, taking out the piece of paper inside and unfolding it. Letting his eyes read it, he notices that it is in Japanese, this being rather strange, as all his ties back to the old country of his were close and he was now so used to living in America, English had practically become his main language, as he hadn't any use for Japanese since coming here. Feeling out of touch with the language, she reads it verbally.

Dear Ranma,

Remember that time Nabiki invited us to America?

Remember that time we went to the Amusement Park?

Do you remember our promise?

Do remember the words we shared in that peaceful city?

You promised to take care of me, and to never separate.

You promised we would never be apart.

But we are apart now, so please return.

Return to the place of our love.

Return to Silent Hill.

Love Akane

The shock was evident on Ranma's face, where did this letter come from? Who sent this letter? Why would someone play a cruel joke like this on him? He traced his female fingertips over the words, trying to see if they were real, could she really be there? He found no residue chi on the letter, but the writing was in Akane's style, standing up, she walks over to a desk in the room, unlocking and opening the solitary draw, she look's upon the items it held, taking out a ring and a picture, she walks back to the table and couch, sitting down she places the items onto the table, next to the letter. Slowly looking over them, she feels the pain enter her heart again, stepping up, she goes' into her bedroom to discard her clothing, then wash-up and go to bed to think about what was happening.

Asleep, he entered a familiar dream, Ranma saw Akane, but she wasn't looking at him, she was looking in another direction, then looking around, he recognized the place as Lakeside Amusement Park, looking back to Akane, he tried to step forward, only to feel no movement, he tried to speak, only to hear no sound, if only he could get her attention, but unlike his other dreams, she turned to face him, and spoke.

"It's wonderful here, isn't it?" she said, her voice causing his heart to warm, "Remember when we ran into each other at and ended up falling into the pier?" she giggled, and to Ranma, that sounded like thousands of little bells.

Suddenly, Akane started walking to Ranma, "Come back here, come back to our magical place," as she finished this, she was standing face to face with Ranma, but as she was shorter, she leaned and stood on her toes, kissing Ranma lightly on his lips, then standing normally again, she said, "I'll be waiting."

Ranma suddenly jumped from, sweat pouring from his face as he played his memory's from what he witnessed in his dreams, thinking about what he saw in his visions, getting up, he prepared to leave.

Author's notes: Warning, I was listening to Silent Hill 2 music while writing this (specifically 'Laura's Theme' and while I was taking a break during writing, I was watching old episodes of 'Malcolm in the Middle', 'The Simpsons' and 'Futurama' and 'Sailor Moon' so be warned, 'I'm sick'. Okay, I understand I have not mentioned what happened to cause him to come here, well, you wont find out till later, sorry. Also, you may have noticed that I actually wrote 'He came out eventually, rushing around in his female form in a skimpy outfit, muttering to herself, 'I'm late, I'm late', with a burst of speed, she was out the door' well Ranma never had any problems about using his girl form for money, I mean, you know what he's done before (i.e. 'Yoiko' comes to mind, teaching his mirror clone to 'flirt', etc), if could find a way to make money, he would, and most 'strip joints' have a 'no-touch' rule, so Ranma wouldn't have any problems, and if someone goes against that, well, Ranma doesn't need a bodyguard. Now, I have read fan fictions where Ranma is wandering alone, feeling grief from something that has happened in his past (in these fics, they are usually placed a few years after the anime or manga) and due to the nature of Silent Hill (best read 'Silent Hill 2 Plot Analysis' for reasons why) I thought this would work out great. I am a moderate fan of Ranma ½ (I admit) but I find it easy to write fan fics for, I am, however, a DEDICATED fan of Konami's works, enjoying their Bemani series, their action games, their platform games, in fact, I have not found any game by them I don't like (I have an imported Japanese Limited Edition version of 'Tokimeki Memorial', which I've played on my friends Saturn, and I LOVE, even though I don't know much Japanese, and my own Saturn CAN'T play imports), although I wish I work for Konami, I must spend my life away writing fan fic's and hope that after I get my Computing degree, I may get a remedial work place for them, in the mail room at least. YES, I am from the UK, that's why some of my writings may seem to have spelling mistakes. I ask one last thing, if ANYONE from KCET, or KCEO, KCEA or even KCEE reads this, I do this for my love of Konami (wait till you see the tattoo I'm thinking of getting on my arm).
