Dear Diary,

Ranma let out a whole lot of emotion today! My plan worked! It worked all too well and he passed out. Good news is he only passed out once! Now that I think about it was he trying to compliment me before with the passing out thing? Damn! Can I write that in here? You don't mind do you? I was basing everything I had planned for him on that one insult! Everything being what I did today. It went okay I guess. Here's how it went so you decide for yourself.

"Hey Ranma."

"Hmph." (followed by intense brooding)

" . . . . . . "

"What d'ya want Akane?"

"Wow! Five whole words!"

" . . . . . ." (intense brooding)

"Right . . ."

"Hey! What the fmph-" (I stuff the food down his throat)

"So Ranma how is it?" (obviously baiting him)

*Thump* (Ranma passes out)

"Well, that went well."

So that's what happened. I hope Ranma feels better but knowing him and he probably thinks I'm trying to kill him or something. Sometimes he can be so irrational but so can I. I guess you could call mauling him for ahting my cooking irrational but he really makes fun of it. Everybody faints when they catch sight of it so I guess I can't blame him if he hates it too. Still, I actually try.

I was right about my teacher, he just skimmed over the page. Just as I thought Ranma had written his name for the first couple of lines but then he wrote the rest sincerely without scribbling or drawing anything. Not that I was reading his diary over his shoulder, one of my friends thought I should know and told me. Heh heh. You might wonder why I wrote that; I was looking at his journal. I just saw it for a second and I swept my eyes casually over it, nothing big you know? Look at me, explaining myself to a diary!

It's funny thinking of Ranma with a diary. He's this muscular guy who at first glass is all dark and mysterious and if the people who saw him knew he wrote a diary he'd die. Right there on the street from embarrassment, he's always like that. These days his ego hasn't been as inflated but I think it's because the police phoned and said their was no hot air left in Japan and that Ranma would just have to stop being such a jerk.

I think Ranma's going to stop being himself soon and turn into some sort of moody, broody yawn machine. Unless he goes really crazy and turns into some sort of moody, broody killing machine but I rather have him that way. Him being a yawn machine might turn out worse then the whole 'Die! Die!' thing. In all seriousness though I think Ranma is trying to turn into a totally new person so that he can have a new life. He walks around all the time without puffing up his chest or showing how well he can fight. He hasn't made fun of me at all this week, which is like a record around here. He seems so sad all the time now and I think he's trying to act worse than he is so people will just stop paying attention to him.

Yesterday in class our teacher asked him to explain what a rut was and I felt like slapping her after he answered. He said something like this,

"A pothole . . . in life. Where you can't tell what's going on around ya. Like ya feel down all the time . . . and ya can never escape it."

That was even weirder! I know I might be taking the situation a little lightly but I'm not going to start acting like him! He mopes now, all the time. It's kind of depressing and you can tell he's getting everybody else down. I think I'll just watch him for awhile before my next plan. It didn't work that well did it? I don't even think it made a little impact on his behavior like a little dent in a monster truck. Maybe I took off a bit of the paint job but that's as far as it went and as far as I'm going to go with that monster truck thing.

Dear Journal,
Status: Another boring day at school. Still in my rut.

Akane's trying to poison me. She stuffed some of her homemade food down my throat and I passed out but only once. I'm not making the mistake of complimenting her again. She probably thought that if I almost died I'd have a near death experience and an angel would tell me to get a move on with my life and quit dwelling on that idiot Saffron. Or maybe that's just the way I wanted things to go. It'd be great to go back in time and not kill him but I know I'd do it again. So what? The guy deserved it right?

I can't write anymore. Kasumi asked Akane to go to the store and get some groceries so I'm stuck with her. Jeez, this is going to be SO awkward. Oh well, I'll just put on my broody, moody face and keep quiet. I'll write more later but I'm gonna use up a couple lines and sign out. Akane probably uses up a book a night she's in there writing so much! The moon brings out her eyes you know?

Ja ne,

Ranma

Dear Diary,

I'm not in Akane's or Ranma's class and yet I have to write this stupid thing. Really, I could be making real money right now but I'm stuck here spilling my thoughts onto paper. Yeah right. Can you say security risk? I guess this could be my new little red book. That's where I put my debts and how much people owe me. Nobody better read this. Maybe I'll booby-trap this thing. If you're reading this then you'll probably like to know what the sensation in your fingers is. Well, that would be the poison seeping into the pores in your fingertips. Good luck getting it out! You have five minutes. Three if you're actually reading this part.

Well, now that we've got that out of the way lets write who owes me money.

Kuno--------------12365 yen

Ranma-----------2000 yen

Akane-----------3500 yen

Hiroshi---------1200 yen

Gos-------------2100 yen

I guess I'll stop here. These are my regulars and any others will probably want to remain secret. Is this a page already? Wow, this goes by fast! I guess this'll be easier then I thought.

Ranma borrowed the money but told me nothing. I wonder what he's up to. He usually can't keep his big mouth shut but these past weeks he's been quieter than Kasumi. Akane's been baiting him obviously and our fathers have been plotting. I feel very angry that I don't know exactly what is going on in people's heads right now. The odd time I don't know but I leave those things for good measure. I need to find out more information but nobody's talking. Maybe these journals can be of use to me.

Yours,

Nabiki Tendo

Dear Diary Journal,

Almost got me there didn't you? Well, I'm continuing from the last entry. I've got another half a page and I think I'm starting to rely on this. I mean you're really helpful to talk to because you don't tell anybody and it's like talking to a person but not. Confusing?

Just got back from the store and I really wanted to tell her how I felt. This hasn't happened this bad before. I mean, she tried to poison me but that means she still cares right? I mean, if she didn't give a damn she'd just pretend nothing ever happened like everybody else. She really did care so maybe that means that I would really hurt her. I couldn't hurt her like that. She doesn't deserve that.

Saffron was the breaking point for me I guess. I totally didn't imagine getting up today and realizing that. Or maybe just the fact that I wrote it down helps. Anyways I'm nearing half a page so I guess I'll end it here. I realized something else to day too, I don't wanna die.

Here's another meaning from the dictionary.

hero:

Function: noun Definition: brave person Synonyms: ace, adventurer, celebrity, champion, combatant, conqueror, daredevil, demigod, diva, exemplar, gallant, god, goddess, great person, great person, heavy, heroine, ideal, idol, lead, leading lady, leading man, lion, martyr, master, model, paladin, popular figure, prima donna, principal, protagonist, saint, star, superstar, tin god, victor, worthy Concept: bravery

Ja ne,

Ranma

Dear Diary,

The weirdest thing happened and I had to tell you about it! I went to the store with Ranma today and he walked on the fence like he usually does and we walked in silence like we sometimes do but I noticed that out of the corner of his eye he was staring at me the whole time. Maybe he was plotting revenge or maybe he had finally flipped his lid and I looked like a tasty snack. Whatever he was thinking of he stopped on the way back when I stared back for a second and looked at the sky the whole time. I tried conversation but it didn't work. If he doesn't get out of this rut soon he's going to be pretty anti-social. I don't want Ranma to hurt, seriously.

He's a good guy under all that ego, jerkness, rudeness, girl magneticness (I know, I know that's not a word but go with it okay?) and if you just get to know him you can tell. Now he's masked that with this new attitude that really annoys me because I know it's not him. He doesn't hit girls, he fights fair and he respects a lot of people. He should realize that he's not the bad guy here. Saffron deserved it the little jerk and if Ranma hadn't killed him then we'd all be in trouble right now right?

I need to think up a new plan, something that he wont expect, something that'll knock around something in him. I need something big, something intriguing, something he'd never expect me to do. I've got it! This is going to be a short entry okay? I'll make it up to you next time all right? I'm going to do something that will knock his socks off! I'm going to have a conversation with him! It may sound stupid but just you wait, I'll have a conversation with him if it takes all day!

Akane

A/N: How was that? I'll catch up on reviews next chapter and write responses okay? Review or I might forget to write the next chapter. Next chapter hopefully up soon!
