Dedicated to: ^^ Noah.
Somewhere they're speaking,
Hikaru walked across the tendo dojo, looking around, taking in the quiet morning. So different from whatever would happen once one of Ranma's fiancees woke up. She smiled wistfully. Ranma needed someone like Kasumi.
It's already comin' in,
Ranma looks down at Hikaru from the roof of the tendo home. So peaceful...like a dream. That's what these mornings were like.
I wonder what Ranma would be doing if he was up right now, Hikaru thought. She kept the wistful smile until she walked to the little pond in the Tendo's lawn. She looked into it and noticed the smile, changing it to the bright, cheerful one everyone would be used to.
You never could get in,
Poor Ranma...later on in the day he'd have to fight someone, like he always had to. Hikaru touched the cold water in the pond, causing ripples in her reflection. She knew that Ranma would have to pick one of his fiancees, but...
Unless you were fed in.
She shrugged. No reason to end that thought. She had been lucky enough that her brother had decided to send her here to go to school, anyway. Because of that she had met Ranma.
Now you're here and you don't know why.
Ranma continued looking at the smiling form below him. He'd always have to protect her...he smiled.
But under skinned knees and the scared minds.
From the way Hikaru's body moved, she either had or still but held in the strength to rival Shampoo. Not close to Ranma himself, but for others, Shampoo was hard to defeat. He blinked as the one who his thoughts were on looked up at the roof, to see him.
Past the places where you used to learn.
"Hey, Ranma! Come down from there!" She paused.
"Wanna take a walk? It's certainly early enough for noone to notice."
Ranma jumped down next to Hikaru and nodded.
You howl and listen, listen and wait for the,
The two began to walk down the street, taking in the quietness of the moment. "Hey..." Hikaru began. She ran a few feet in front of him, then turned, stopped, and smiled. "What do you think you'd be doing now if you didn't have any fiancees?"
echoes of angels who won't return.
"I don't really know...I probably wouldn't be in Nerima, then. Pops brought me here to meet Akane."
He's everything you want,
"Then I guess I can't say I wish you didn't have any fiancees." Ranma walked in front of Hikaru, and they started walking together again.
he's everything you need,
"Why?" Ranma blinked.
"'Cause then you wouldn't be here and I'd be all
alone! Ukyou wouldn't be here to be friends with, and...who knows what
Akane'd act like." She thought for a moment, then grinned. "Maybe
she'd be fianceed to Kuno."
he's everything inside of you that you wish you could be,
That got a laugh out of him. "I'd feel sorry for her then." Hikaru commented through a small giggle.
he says all the right things,
Ranma looked around, he was getting hungry..and people were starting to wake up and leave their homes. Hikaru didn't seem to care, so he didn't either.
At exactly the right time.
"Want to go somewhere and eat?" Ranma asked. Hikaru nodded. They passed by Ukyou's, and entered since it was open.
But he means nothing to you and you don't know why.
Ukyou turned from cooking Okonomiyaki to welcome her customer, and smiled a little painfully as Hikaru entered...with Ranma behind her.
You're waiting for someone,
They ordered, ate, and left. Ukyou sighed...walking outside of her resturaunt, putting the 'closed' sign on her door and took a walk, in the opposite direction the two had taken. She sighed.
to put you together.
Ukyou passed the Nekohaten to hear: "Shampoo, I love you!" and then a Mousse flying through the door, his glasses flying and landing by her feet. Ukyou bent down and picked them up, walking towards Mousse.
You're waiting for someone to push you away.
"Hey, are you okay Mousse?"
There's always another wound to discover.
Mousse saw something blurry bend down before him, and suddenly his vision was cleared as the blur put his glasses on him. It was Ukyou.
There's always something more you wish he'd say.
"Hello. We've never really talked to eachother before...so...wanna take a walk?" Ukyou smiled a little. Mousse, still slightly depressed from Shampoo's beatings, nodded.
He's everything you want,
They got to know eachother and became close friends. They trusted and confided in eachother.
he's everything you need,
"...I don't think I'm in love with Ranma anymore. In fact, I don't think I ever really loved him...I just was being protective of him from the others as a friend...scared that they would take away the friendship Ranma and I had." Ukyou admitted.
"Ranma's a jerk. How could he get three fiancees?!" Mousse glared at the ground. Ukyou put a hand on Mousse's clenched one.
"You think he wanted three? It's really all his fathers fault. I don't think any of it was really Ranmas."
he's everything inside of you that you wish you could be,
Mousse was incredilous at first, then was persuaded by Ukyou that Ranma wasn't such a bad guy.
he says all the right things,
"I'm willing to believe that Ranma isn't such a bad person, but...it really was all Genma's fault?"
At exactly the right time.
"Yes." Ukyou answered.
But he means nothing to you and you don't know why.
"...Alright." He still sounded a little doubtful. Ukyou smiled, then blushed as she realized her hand was still on Mousse's from when Mousse's hand was clenched...but this time she noticed that her hand had Mousse's wrapped around it. Mousse noticed why she was blushing, and blushed as well. "Sorry!"
And you'll be just fine,
with all of your time,
Ukyou smiled softly. It was lunch time now. "Would you like to get some Okonomiyaki? I'll cook."
It's only what you're waiting for.
Mousse blinked and shook his head. "I'll help."
Ukyou shook her head, still smiling. "No,
it'll be my treat. I'll cook!"
"But I should help you."
"Well, then just don't this time?" Ukyou and
Mousse smiled to eachother. Mousse finally nodded.
"Alright."
Outta the island and into the highway.
Past the places where you might have turned.
"I know you love Shampoo, but I think she doesn't deserve you." Ukyou admitted one day.
You never did notice,
that you still hide away the,
anger of angels who wont return.
"Hnh?" Mousse looked up from eating Ramen.
He swallowed. "I--" He was cut off by Ukyou.
"I think that Shampoo doesn't deserve anyone, much
less you. Look at how she treats people..." Ukyou drifted off
and closed her eyes, flinching. What if Mousse got so angry he hit
her?
He's everything you want,
he's everything you need,
he's everything inside of you that you wish you could be,
She opened them when nothing happened. Mousse was just looking at her. His eyes seemed a little suprised, but still warm. "I stopped loving Shampoo awhile ago...I know...it was a mistake."
he says all the right things,
At exactly the right time.
Ukyou blinked...and noticed tears beginning to fall out of her eyes. "Huh...I don't get it...why am I crying?"
But he means nothing to you and you don't know why.
I am everything you want,
Mousse reached up to her face and wiped her tears away with a finger. "What's wrong?" He looked worried.
I'm everything you need,
I'm everything inside of you that you wish you could be,
"Mousse..." The tears wouldn't stop. She couldn't realize why she was crying at all. "Oh, Mousse!" She wailed and wrapped her arms around him.
I says all the right things,
At exactly the right times.
"What's wrong?" Mousse repeated, more worried. Slowly, he brought his arms up to cross at Ukyou's back, holding her.
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why.
"I don't know...I just started crying when I heard you didn't love Shampoo...but I feel happy. Why should I be sad?" She sniffled.
Mousse smiled a little. "Tears...of joy."
He brought one hand up to Ukyou's face to wipe the tears away again.
Ukyou smiled, and both stood there like this for a long period of time.
