I'm writing something totally original for once, so forgive me if this is extremely depressing. For fans of Dir en Grey, they'll get this. mwahahaha. Flame me, if you dare. I'm close enough to the edge as it is, give me a push.

Now, on with the twisted show.

Crying in the mirror, I look out over the fields of red, watching the raspberry jam pour from them in spurts, falling to the ground and soaking it. Pieces of strawberry on my face, I reach down and touch her forehead, and lick the taste from my fingers. The small whimpering in my throat causes me to look at her face once again, as if I cannot believe what I have done. I would have done anything for her, but now, as I taste her blood on my fingers, the gun in my hand, I wonder why I did it. Why I'm still living. Her life was everything to me, everything that drove me to live. Why am I still alive? Why am I typing? Why am I telling you this? It all started a year ago. I was just mindin' my business, when this beautiful girl walks past me. It felt like I had met her before, you know, that déjà vu feeling you get when you meet someone you really like? It was even more than that. It must have been love at first sight. Amid the hormones of my mind, I sensed a kindred spirit within her, something, so much like me.. and yet, we were so different. Exact opposites, yet exactly alike. I hate to admit it, but I was a virgin till I met her. It's just that something clicked. Kissing away the tears from her cheeks, I vowed never to hurt her, at least, not intentionally. I knew I'd do it, but, I didn't expect. I hear the sirens. I called the police. Watching the moonlight coming in from the window, I put the gun to the roof of my mouth. I can taste the gunpowder from the first bullets sent flying. I then take it out of my mouth, and place the barrel against my temple. Looks like I'm going to disappoint a lot of people, but it's for the best. I have her father laid out on the floor next to mine, her two sisters lying on either side of her, at our fathers' feet. And then, I have him. Bastard! I'm glad I blew his face off. My attack was much more powerful than his now. So, without any further ado, it's time to end this. But I have one last thought as I pull the trigger. "Goodbye, Akane." ~-silenced gunshot-~

Okay, so it wasn't so original.and it was really short. But, I guess that's the way things are. Oh well. Credits for Ranma ½ go to Takahashi Rumiko- sama. Berry was written and played by Dir en Grey. Vedy, vedy good song.
