Dear Diary,

Ranma is now showing one emotion, embarrassment. I think I bring out the best in him! He's in his room right now probably writing about how he hates me but I think what I did makes sense. Of course in an hour or so I'm going to thoroughly regret it. Here's how it went before I confabulate the whole thing and make it sound like Ranma was going to kill me and eat my heart or something,

"Hey Ranma."

"What Akane?"

"Down? No wait, that would be an understatement right?" (nervous laughter)

"Listen, just go away. I ain't talkin' to ya so ya might as well leave."(truly cold shoulder)

"I might be wrong but I think I'll take that as a cry for help?" (this was so hard to say)

"I don't need help."

(silence)

"Ranma, it's not your fault okay?"

"What ain't my fault?"

"Don't be a dummy, you know what I'm talking about. It's not your fault so stop this temper tantrum before I mallet it out of you got it?"

"Now now, violence ain't ever the answer." (he pointed a finger at me. Emotion!)

"Fine, I'll just go. I know when I'm not wanted!" (I pretend to sulk off. I am the best actress . . . except for Nabiki.)

"Wait!" (Ranma actually lifted his hand and grabbed my wrist to stop me)

"What?" (said really coldly)

"Ya don't hav'ta go if ya don't wanna."

"Wow, is that an apology?"

"Never." (Ranma smirked! Finally! I still don't know if that's a good thing)

After that we just sat there for a while. That may not seem like a lot to you but it was a lot to us. I know I don't look at Ranma the same anymore. I hope he feels better than he acts. It'll take a while but I think that my plan worked and it will keep working little by little. I'll use scare tactics like that to scare him out of his rut!

Ranma has some real issues that I've decided to take on and solve. For instance, I want to help him get over this thing with Saffron. Okay, I'll admit it's a lot and maybe not my business but did you read what he said? I'll quote, "just leave me alone like everybody else." Sure it's emotion but not the kind I was looking for!

I've got to give him points because he is overflowing with one particular emotion! Can you guess what it is? Depression! (if you didn't already know)
Today's been an okay day but Ranma's been totally monotone to everyone, as usual. I hate saying that that's usual. It shouldn't be and that makes me want to interfere even more. I've got to try and think up a new plan but I'm almost at a page and a quarter now so I don't think I have enough room to write stupid ideas and then stumble across a great one. I guess I'll save that bit of greatness for my next entry.

Saffron is such a funny name. I mean, no offense but who would name their kid Saffron. That sounds like a town in a video game or something. Oddly enough, every time I hear it I think of that color of purple and red that's not quite purple but not quite red . . . fuchsia! That's it! I hope I spelt it right. Well, I babbled long enough to get to a page and a half so good bye until next time!

Akane

Dear Journal,

Akane's acting like such a weirdo and I'm really getting scared! She's buzzing around me like I need a babysitter but right when I look her in the eye she scurries away. What is her problem? She really needs to take up high jump or tennis or something where you hit something else to take up her time.

I really don't want to feel like a charity case and that's what I keep telling myself Akane's doing but I just can't seem to shake her off like everybody else! She's just so damn persistent and annoying that you have to laugh at her trys.

Today she tried to have a conversation with me and I think I handled it pretty well! And if I were lying to myself and not just you I would believe that last comment. I caved like Jell-O. Can Jell-O cave? It's just kinda there so I guess it could but wouldn't it bounce right back afterwards? Maybe the stuff they use in a trampoline is what they put in Jell-O . . . or not. That would kill people wouldn't it? Sorry, I'm getting off track. Well, here's our conversation, you tell me if I wimped out okay?

"Hey Ranma." (said WAY too perky for Akane's fashion)

"What Akane?"

"Down? No wait, that would be an understatement right?"

"Listen, just go away. I ain't talkin' to ya so ya might as well leave."(cold shoulder present and accounted for)

"I might be wrong but I think I'll take that as a cry for help?" (how is THAT a cry for help and I DON'T cry)

"I don't need help." (see?)

(awkward silence)

"Ranma, it's not your fault okay?"

"What ain't my fault?" (I really couldn't pull that off! Of course who could with Akane's beady little eyes staring me down . . . okay so Nabiki could but who else?)

"Don't be a dummy, you know what I'm talking about. It's not your fault so stop this temper tantrum before I mallet it out of you got it?" (does she think threatening me is going to make me feel better?)

"Now now, violence ain't ever the answer." (Okay, okay, so it worked)

"Fine, I'll just go. I know when I'm not wanted!" (Obviously pretending to sulk off)

"Wait!" (I lift my hand to hers and she tenses up)

"What?"

"Ya don't hav'ta go if ya don't wanna." (I had to do it, she looked so sad)

"Wow, is that an apology?" (never!)

"Never." (see?)

After that I let her hang around for awhile and it was obvious she was getting pretty bored but I wanted to see how long it took her to get bored to the point that she rather leave or die or boredom. Sadly I saw neither because it got pretty late and we got sent into the house.

Weirdest thing's she didn't even flinch the whole time. She just sat there and stared up at the stars. I don't think she was avoiding eye contact, I just think she was trying to appreciate something. I can't figure out what though and that's pissing me off a bit.

I don't know why Akane has to be such a nosy person sometimes. It was so annoying having to have some one to share my misery with out there. I mean it's bad enough that I have to make myself feel bad but her too? She doesn't even care and yet she does all this. Nobody cares really; they're too preoccupied with themselves to care.

Akane's up to something and I have to figure it out. I don't know how but if I do I figure she'll stop buzzing around all the time and calm down. Honestly, I can't get that plan that she's making out of my head. It's hard to think about anything else except how annoying she is!

I should really thank her shouldn't I?

Ja ne,

Ranma

Dear Diary,

How's life diary? Probably better than mine at this point! I thought I made a difference yesterday but do you want to know what I really made? I'll tell you anyways, NOTHING!

Today, all day he acted as if yesterday never happened and that he didn't feel better at all. A couple of his friends invited him outside to hang out but he just shrugged them off and sulked. Damn hell dumbass! He doesn't know what's wrong with him and yet he thinks he knows exactly how to fix himself. It's not right how he acts towards his friends. They try their hardest to help him and he gives them less to go on then he gives me.

Brace yourself diary but I think I'm giving up on him. He's so full of it now that I want nothing to do with him! He's so stupid and arrogant and self-centered and stupid! One sec, someone just slipped something under my door. It's a note from Ranma! Here, I'll write it out okay?

Akane,

Thanks. I've been real down. I know it's not my fault so just go back to normal okay?

Ranma Saotome

That note sounds monotone doesn't it? Doesn't it? Sorry I asked twice but I do that to emphasize a point. What? A lot of people do it! Anyways, I think this is as sentimental as Ranma gets so I should treasure it for always and ever! I'm crying happy tears right now and throwing up because I just wrote that. It actually made it sound like I was crying. Maybe it's just me! Maybe I am crying! Ooh no! Sorry, went off on a tangent.

I think Ranma was thanking me for yesterday. See? I told you he was a nice person and that I did a lot by just sitting there until we had to go inside and what did you do? You scoffed at him! At least I didn't give up on him and I won't ever give up on him. . . unless this is the last thank you I ever get. No, even then I will still help him!

My head's hurting really bad today and I think I'm going to go lie down and rest. Sorry but I'm going to pull a short entry on you! I know, I know, NO! I know you're going to miss me but I bet Ranma does this all the time!

Akane

Dear Journal,

I just did the stupidest thing that I've ever done in my life! Well, except for killing Saffron. Okay, that was not as funny on paper as it was in my head! Sorry! You must think I'm nuts. Sometimes I wonder that sometimes.

I mean, if I can kill one guy what stops me from killing another and another and another? I'll tell you what, she does. You know who she is and I'm not writing it again. It scares me sometimes because I'll be holding a knife and I'll just want to throw it away. What scares me more is that the weapon I used on Saffron was myself. Not a revolver, knife or pipe. One hundred percent, triple A Ranma did it.

I really have to stop thinking like that or Ms. Hinako's going to have a heart attack that something I said actually meant something and keel over right in front of the class. She'd probably hope she looked good for the ambulance workers. I just laughed at that. I'm sick, I just laughed at that! How sick is that? Sorry, I'm being repetitive.

Today some of the guys asked me to hang out and I said no. You'll never understand how much I wanted to say yes but it was too hard and I caved. Just like in that conversation last time. I'll admit it, I did cave alright? Just don't tell a soul!

If you kill someone do you still have a soul? I've got to stop thinking about killing things like Saffron. Jeez, there's this color I think of every time I hear that name but I don't know what it is. It's not magenta but not red it's . . . fuchsia! There it is! Yep, I don't know why but it does. I'm gonna be cutting this short all right? Here's the dictionary thing,
weap·on: )Pronunciation Key (w[pic]p[pic][pic]n)

n. An instrument of attack or defense in combat, as a gun, missile, or sword. Zoology. A part or organ, such as a claw or stinger, used by an animal in attack or defense. A means used to defend against or defeat another: Logic was her weapon.
