"Damn him!"
Ryoga growled- what had that no good Ranma done this time?
"I just wanted him to taste a bite! Just one bite! Would it have killed him?"
Ryoga rubbed his head against her arm- I'll always be here for you.
"Actually…" her voice dropped. "It might have."
Ryoga felt a tear land on his head- I'll kill him for you; I'll rip him to pieces, just watch.
"Damn him? No, damn me. Why can't I do anything right?"
Ryoga was pulled into a tight squeeze- you don't do anything wrong, you never have.
"Oh P-chan, I'll never be good enough for him will I?"
Ryoga kissed her cheek- no, it's me who will never be good enough for you.
"I can't cook worth a damn, I can't swim a stroke, and I can't even save myself."
Ryoga stroked her hair as best he could- you don't need to; I'll always save you.
"I just wish that once, just once I could do something for him."
Ryoga was silent- I know exactly what you mean, presents and trinkets, what rubbish.
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to watch him every day and know that… that he doesn't want me?"
Ryoga whispered sympathetically- I will always want you, to me you're beautiful.
"Just once I wish he'd say something nice to me."
Ryoga nodded- you've always been so nice to me, why do you wait for him?
"Oh well… I supposed I'm just being stupid. Maybe I'll go practice in the dojo."
Ryoga watched her go- Someday Akane, I'll tell you everything. But first I need to take care of Ranma; he'll pay for hurting you. My beautiful Akane, for me there is only you forever and ever.
The top of his head burned from her tears and the light kiss she had placed there.
