Chapter One: Sunrise
Rating: K
My eyes fluttered open.
It was morning. Early morning. I sat up and stared at the rising sun, grinning slightly. I always loved watching the sunrise; maybe it was because it brought an overwhelming sense of peace to me, though I wasn't entirely sure why.
It was chilly out, but it didn't bother me.
I came up here last night to think; sitting right above where her bed should be down in her room. I must've fallen asleep.
Slowly, I climbed down to her windowsill and, noticing that it was open, crawled onto her desk and settled on the floor next to her bed, staring at her.
My fiancée. The only girl I came to recognize as someone worthy of my attention. Cocky, I know, but all those other girls were just too…desperate. Always agreeing with me, doing what I say, tending to my every whim. No, I needed a challenge, and this was the only girl that could give it to me.
Her hand twitched, as if she was trying to reach out for something or someone. Then, she called my name.
"Ranma…" she breathed.
My heart was beating a mile a minute and I blushed. She had that smile on her face, the one that made me melt into a hot puddle of goo. The one that attracted me to her in the first place.
As quietly as I could, I sneaked back to the window and climbed out onto the roof, grinning wider than ever.
The sunrise was unusually beautiful this morning, I noticed. Very bright.
Bright like her smile; it was burned into my mind, imprinted into my heart. They way she looked at me, those dazzling brown eyes shining with mirth. Suddenly, I felt like giggling, but smashed the feeling down.
Maybe this was why I liked the sunrise so much; it reminded me of her eyes; vivid and warm and comforting.
Staring at the yellow and orange clouds, with the red rays of light shining through them, I wondered how long it took me to realize I had died and gone to heaven, where Akane Tendo's smile was the only thing leading me on my path to happiness.
A thought that just came to me one night and I had to write it down. Hopefully, more will come in the future. Anyway, this will be a long series of one-shots, completely centered around Ranma and Akane, but only from Ranma's point of view; I have absolutely no idea how many chapters there will be, but I hope that there will be a lot. I tried making this chapter as sweet as I could without making it seem out of character or too mushy or something. I hope I achieved my goal.

P.S.- NO, Ranma did not actually die!
