Discaimer: Repetition is redundant. That's my excuse of the day! :D
This one is kind of like a continuation of the previous drabble. But yeah, regardless, it can stand on its own too! ^o^
Akane's Smile
Everything felt unreal. She could hardly breathe, or keep her eyes open. Fire. There was so much fire. She was parched. What were they doing? It was burning her. What happened? She felt so woozy. Water… What happened to the water? She felt herself floating away…
Dimly, she could hear Ranma talking to her. "I won! Just hold on one minute! AKANE!"
He was safe. He had won. Ranma…
From years ago, something she had heard echoed in her ears... 'Don't you wish you had someone who would be ready to die for you?'
In the end, it hadn't mattered. In the end, all she had wanted was to keep him safe, to be his shield. In the end, she had wanted him to live. In the end, she was dying. Love worked in weird ways.
'I love you, Ranma…'
Akane smiled.
This is set in the Saffron arc, when Akane was turned into a doll trying to save Ranma, and then absorbed one of Saffron's attacks while in doll form. She was really really brave, right? ^o^
I always wondered about how relevant the perception of a true lover being a "Knight in shining armor" is to girls. You always hear girls squealing about Knights in armors and stuff. But is that really true love? Isn't it more like you'd want to die for him? As long as he's safe...
Ah well, not that I've been in true love or anything... :D
Reviews!!! I love reviews~ Lalalala~
