"Complicated" - Sung by Carolyn Dawn Johnson

I do not own these characters, so don't take away the little money that I have.

Akane sat on the roof of the dojo that she was someday destined to inherit. The setting sun lit the sky with its different colors and a cool breeze swept over the rooftops.
"I'll get you old man!", came a cry from the Tendo yard.
Splash
Akane turned around in time to see a figure being flung into her family Koi Pond.
"HA!" Ranma yelled.
"Growf!" The once human, now panda Genma climbed out of the Koi Pond and began to chase around the pig-tailed boy.
Once Ranma had "taken care" of his father, he glanced up to the rooftop, where Akane was watching from, an amused smile on her face.
The fading sunlight mingled with the growing shadows, and Ranma smiled at her.
Akane felt a warmth growing in her face, and she quickly turned away, for fear that Ranma would see her blush.

Just then a country song popped into her head, and she started singing the first words very softly.

"I'm so scared that the way that I feel,
Is written all over my face.
When you walk into the room,
I want to find a hiding place.
We use to laugh we use to hug,
The way that old friends do.
Now a smile and the touch of your hands,
Just makes me come unglued.

Its such a contradiction,
Do I lie or tell the truth?
Is it fact or fiction?
Oh the way I feel for you."

Akane started singing the chorus very loudly then.

"Its so complicated! I'm so frustrated.
I want to hold you close, I want to push you away.
I want to make you go, I want to make you stay.
Should I say it? Should I tell you how I feel?
Oh I want you to know, But then again I don't.
Its so complicated."

Akane stood up, and remembered that day at school, and her talk with her friend Yuki.

"Just when I think I'm under control
I think I finally got a grip
Another friend tells me that
My name is always on your lips
They say I'm more than just a friend
They say I must be blind
Well I admit that I've seen you watch me
From the corner of your eye
Oh its so confusing,
Yeah, I wish you'd just confess.
But think of what I'd be losin',
If your answer wasn't yes."

Images of Ranma's other fiances ran through her head. Ukyou, Shampoo, Kodachi...well, maybe she wasn't that much of a threat.

She started singing loudly again.

"Its so complicated! I'm so frustrated.
I want to hold you close, I want to push you away,
I want to make you go, I want to make you stay.
Should I say it? Should I tell you how I feel?
Oh I want you to know, But then again I don't.
Its so complicated."

Images of those damn boys waiting at the gate of the school flashed in her mind.

"I hate it! 'Cuz I've waited
So long for someone like you!
What do I do?"

A look of determination formed on her face, then replaced by fear, replaced again by determination.

"Oh should I say it?
Should I tell you how I feel
Oh I want you to know, But then again I don't.
Its so complicated. Its so complicated.
Oooooohhhhhhhh....."

Akane sat back down on the roof, and hummed the end of the song.
"Hey Akane, whatcha singin?" She heard Ranma say from behind her.
"Oh, it was nothing..." She replied, still staring at the fading sky.

And the city of Nerima became dark, with two figures sitting at the top of a dojo, not saying anything at all.
