This World Never Makes Sense

Part one:

The windows stood open for him. The fresh breeze felt good on his face. Outside the window, life in Nerima scurried on in its fast paced fashion. Yet, time was moving slow for him. Ryoga rubbed his eyes in frustration. Why did she say that? Was some part of of him excited by what he heard? What was it about her that drove him mad?

"Geeze, I must be either tired or going nuts," He said to himself. His mind raced back to her. Trying its best to remember her blue eyes, her luscious long red hair, her curvacious hips, and her tender smile.

He sighed and sat down near the window. Peering out once again as the world passed him by while he was lost in his thoughts...

"OH MY GOD...why did I have to say that to him," Ranma asked herself beating her head against the door to her room. She suddenly smiled at the memory of his innocent look of shock at her sudden proclamation...

(Flashback)

The day had started off well at the Tendo household. That is until Ryoga came in with one of his outrageous claims that Ranma had somehow managed to make his life worse just by existing and challenged Ranma to one of their usual duels.

"BY KAMI RYOGA! HOW DENSE CAN YOU BE!" Ranma screamed. She stared him in the eyes. She was breathing heavy and was torn between slapping the almighty crap out of Ryoga and Kissing him until he could not think straight.

What are you talking about Ranma?," Ryoga asked as he was stopped in his tracks.

"Why must we fight like this?" Ranma began,"Why can't we stop doing this...this useless bullshit." Ranma slowly walked over to Ryoga and placed her hand on his cheek. Gazing long and hard into his eyes as if trying to touch his soul.

"We could be so much more than this," she spoke softly,"There is much more to experience if you just stop being a dipstick."

"Wha...W-What do you mean?," Ryoga asked. Besides Akane, he wasn't used to having someone this affectionate with him. He stared into her eyes unable to read what she was thinking...then again he wasn't sure what he was thinking either.

"You know, us, there has got to be a reason that you keep coming back to me like this," Ranma stated. She began moving in closer to him and trying to keep his face level to hers.

"uhhhh...," was all Ryoga could say. Ranma continued to move closer to him as her eyes closed. Ryoga knew what was coming and some way he feared it.

Ranma opened her eyes and realized that Ryoga was giving her a strange look. A look that said fear or shock she wasn't sure.

"Oh my god, Ryoga I'm sorry," She said turning. She ran into the dojo leaving Ryoga staring after her...

(End Flashback)

Ranma Leaned against the wall. Her hand on her chest as her heart beat against her ribcage and the beat rang in her ears. Yet, despite of the sheer confusion of it all she smiled...
