Ranma's hidden talent
It was a normal and calm day for once in the town of Nermia. Ranma, Akane, Nabiki, Kasumi, Soun, and Genma were all in the living room doing their own thing. Ranma was tuning his guitar that Akane had gotten him for Christmas. He had pretended that it was useless to him but he practiced in his spare time when at school in the band room when it was empty. It was one of his way's of getting rid of his anger. Genma and Soun were playing a game of Go and somehow kept finding new ways to cheat. Kasumi was taking a break from cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry to read a manga she really liked, Fairy Tail. She just loved the ship-tease of Natsu and Lucy. Though she was hoping that they would get together at some point. Nabiki was tallying up the money she had collected over the years including the money she had gotten this week. Akane was reading a book but was secretly watching Ranma to see what he'd do with his guitar. Ranma sighed and looked at the amp that he bought a few months back and thought about playing a few songs. He shrugged and plugged it in and started playing some. The first song was I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin. He started playing and every body looked up from what they were doing in shock and watched
Fall
Now the dark begins to rise
Save your breath, it's far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind
Now's your chance to run for cover
Everyone was shocked. Since when could Ranma sing and play guitar!?
I don't want to change the world
I just wanna leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
Take the path that leads to nowhere
All is lost again
But I'm not giving in
Everybody thought As if he'd ever give in. He's the beast martial artist there is!
I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
Akane thought: Is that why you don't let me in?
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away
They all thought: You've taken our breath away now. Kasumi was thinking: He has a good singing voice…why did he keep it a secret?
Fall
Watch the end through dying eyes
Now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever dies
Take the fall and run to Heaven
Ranma thought: Heh. Doubt pops will make it there. After all he's done? Throwing me into a pit of starving cats with fish over me, taking me away from my mother for a stupid 12 year training trip, engaging me to who knows how many fiancé's and trading me for a stupid pickle and rice! What kind of parent is this jackass?
All is lost again
But I'm not giving in
I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away
Open your eyes!
I will not bow
They all thought: He never has and he never will
I will not break
They thought: For all we know he probably has. With everything thrown at him…
Ranma thought: Yep. I haven't been broken. My name does mean Wild Horse for a reason.
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away
And I'll survive; paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold-blooded fake
I will shut the world away
Fall!
He finished singing and smirked at the shocked faces he received. "Didn't expect that now did you?" He said chuckling while Akane got up and hugged him tightly leaving him and everybody else shocked. "And here I thought you hated the guitar." She said with a small blush. "Nah. Only made you think that. I've had lessons at school with the music teacher. In secret of course." "Boy why did you not tell us about this?" his dad asked. Ranma scoffed "Seriously? Why? Well let me think…Oh I know! It's because Nabiki would have blackmailed me and made me record songs without pay." At that Nabiki nodded. "You would have stopped it immediately because it's not manly and Akane would probably think I'm learning to sing to serenade Ukyo or Xian-Pu and probably call me a pervert and mallet me somewhere. And trust me I did not learn to sing to serenade someone. At all." He said with a growl. "You'll get other songs later. Right now I want to train in the dojo." After that he walked off to train leaving people shocked that he could sing and play guitar.
