Hurt

Summary: Songfic based on the NINE INCH NAILS song, Ranma decides that he's had enough with his life and decides to end it.

Disclaimer: Well hello Mr fancy pants I've got news for you, I own jack and shit… and jack just left town.

Ranma sits on the Tendo's roof with an acoustic guitar; he picks it up and starts to play it.

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hold
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

Flashback

Ranma gets his penknife out of his bag, pulls out the blade, takes off his bracers and drags the blade across his skin until blood flows from the cuts, Kasumi walks in and sees him cutting himself.

Kasumi: Oh my! Ranma what are you doing?

Ranma: What does it look like I'm doing? Seeing if I can still feel.

Kasumi looks at Ranma and sees that he's focusing on the pain.

Kasumi: Why are you doing this?

Ranma: I'm sick of everything, the fiancées, the rivals, pops.

End flashback

Ranma's eyes are now full of tears; Nabiki walks out of the house to see Ranma sat on the roof with the guitar.

Nabiki: Since when did Ranma have a guitar?

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

Flashback

Ranma sits in Ucchans leaning on the counter with his head on his arms.

Ukyo: Ran-Chan, what's wrong?

Ranma: I'm leaving Nerima soon, dead or alive I don't care.

Ukyo: But…

Ranma: Living here's like wearing a crown of thorns.

Ryoga walks in and sees Ranma.

Ryoga: Ranma because of you…

Ranma: You've seen hell; yeah I've heard it before. You can have Akane and my empire of dirt. I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!

Ranma leaves Ucchans, Ukyo and Ryoga look at each other.

Ukyo: I think we've pushed him too far.

End flashback

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Ranma puts the guitar down and pulls out his penknife, pulls out the blade and stands up.

Ranma: Goodbye everyone.

Nabiki: What's he…

Nabiki watches in horror as Ranma plunges the knife into his heart and falls, his body rolls off the roof.

Nabiki: OH MY GOD!

Everyone comes out of the house to see what's happened, they see Ranma's corpse on the floor.

Kasumi: Is he…

Nabiki: Dead, yes he is. I defiantly think we pushed him too far.
