Goodbye to You
Of all the things I've believed in,
I just want to get it over with,
tears form behind my eyes,
but I do not cry,
counting the days that pass me by.
Business had been good, and now another day was over with, but what did that matter. Slowly, Ukyo began the climb up the stairs to her room. How many days had passed now since Ranma had married Akane, she couldn't remember. Everything up to that day just seemed meaningless now. All the attempts, the nights spent awake dreaming of him had been a waste of time. Falling quietly on her bed, Ukyo pushed back the tears in her eyes. No she wouldn't cry, after all crying was for girls.
I've been searchin' deep down in my soul,
words that I'm hearin' are starting to get old,
it feels like I'm starting all over again,
The last three years were just pretend,
and I say-
All the lies she had told herself of everything being okay in the end, were useless. It was time to start over, thought Ukyo. She laughed to herself mumbling, "easier said than done". All the things she knew where in someway or another connected to Ranma. Her okonamiyaki was one of his favorite foods. He had been the best reason for her martial arts training. What was Ukyo Kuonji with out her Ranchan?
Goodbye to you,
goodbye to everything I thought I knew,
You were the one I loved,
the one thing that I tried to hold on to.
It was time to let go, and move on. It was time to be Ukyo, not Ranma's cute fiancée. No, not anymore. And tears streamed down her face at this new path. Ranma had been her everything. Could she really leave behind the only foundation she'd had for years...
I still get lost in your eyes,
and it seems that I can't live a day without you,
closing my eyes,
and you chase my thoughts away,
to a place where I am blinded by the light,
but it's not right.
Picking up her photo album, Ukyo looked at a picture of her and Ranma. His eyes had definitely been his best feature. She, just like the other girls chasing him had always gotten lost in them. Softly she caressed the face which brought back so many memories and dreams. And the tears kept falling, for Ranma had never looked at her the same as he did towards Akane. Closing the book, Ukyo made her decision.
and it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time,
I want what's yours and I want what's mine,
I want you,
but I'm not giving in this time.
Hefting her pack on, Ukyo made a second check that the door was locked. It all still hurt her very much. Part of her wanted to run to Ranma, to ask him why. Why had he chosen Akane, and not her. To shake him until he realized it was her he should be with. But for the most part, she wanted nothing more than to get away from it all. A little break would do her good.
Oh, oh woah,
and when the stars fall I will lie awake,
you're my shooting star.
Yes, a little break would do her good. She'd move on, slowly maybe, but she would. And she knew in her heart that Ranma had, was, and forever would be her friend. Ukyo smiled at that thought. She would never marry him, but he would always be there to help her if she needed. And that was what was important.

A/N - This song made me think of Ukyo and how she would feel once Ranma & Akane got married. (Hey, I'm a die hard R/A fan. ^^) I don't think Ukyo would possibly try something to still win Ranma. I guess I see Ukyo as a strong person who knows what she's doing most of the time. After all she lived most of her life by herself. So tell me what you think.
(Ranma characters don't belong to me. This version of 'Goodbye to You' is sung by Michelle Branch. She's a great artist, and I do recommend her.)
