Nights Return

By: Firehedgehog

Chapter Three

It was a beautiful day in Japan; the sky was a spectacular blue color that one saw rarely. There was hardly a cloud in the sky; even the birds seemed to agree.

It was peaceful, as all morning strive to me... but as all residents know it wouldn't last in Nerima.

"Ranma no Baka," screamed through the air, as the usual morning wake up call went out the more normal citizen's of Nerima began there normal routines.

In the Kuno household the nuts woke up, lets really not talk about there routines... it's scary. In the Cat cafŽ Shampoo and Cologne began their latest potion to hopefully get Ranma, really... by now they should know better.

In another part of Nerima a certain black piggy was lost again, and as usual curing Ranma for no reason but the lost boy needed anger management.

Well, enough of them... let's return to the Tendo Dojo where the story is actually taking place.

***

Today had started off as a strange one; Ranma had been awake before anyone else. He had gotten back to sleep after that strange dream, yet he had woken up earlier then usual.

So he had gotten a cold glass of water and sipped it, to his surprise his thoughts once again wondered to that strange dream. His sapphire eyes gazed at the perspiration on the clear surface of the glass; those drops of water seemed to taunt him with the knowledge that they knew what their life was all about.

His life was a mess and he knew it, he knew of no way to fix the mess Genma had made it over the years. He knew that the mess could be fixed if Ranma ceased to exist, but that wouldn't work... he didn't know if he could leave his identity.

Yet something inside him, deep inside seemed to nag him.

It seemed to tell him he could survive, Ranma was just a name and image... not the real him.

'But that doesn't make sense' the pig tailed martial artist thought, with a groan he put his glass down. He rubbed his temples as a headache began to form; it was at that moment an irate Akane entered the room.

He looked up and blinked innocent sapphire eyes towards her, yet once again the delusional girl seemed to think he was thinking perverted thoughts.

"Ranma no Baka," Akane screamed hitting him with mallet-sama, the words echoed through Nerima bringing us back to where we began.

With a sigh Ranma landed near the koi pond, muttering slightly he headed inside; he dodged a bald man in a gi trying to hit him into the pond.

"Nice try pops," he said dryly, really couldn't his so-called father try anything new.

"..." His father said, he would of said more but Ranma had already pushed 'him' into the water. Soon a soaking wet panda rose from the cold water; it sent the raven-haired youth a dark glare.

'Whatever' Ranma thought.

Soon they ate breakfast, and as soon as they finished Ranma sped out of the house and for once avoiding the insaneness his fiancŽs brought with them. He had long ago realized this, they brought the chaos for as long as he wasn't with any of them it was peaceful about Nerima.

'Please let this all end soon, I want whatever life I should live... not this living hell these people seem to think I should live in' Ranma wished, and something terrible bugged him from deep inside.

He knew he had a task and he should be doing it, but something had happened that was stopping him. He wanted to cry at the injustice, it was as if part of his very soul was hidden from him.

'Please let it end soon' he thought again, oh how he hoped.

He wanted happiness; a happiness that once had been his that had been taken away.

Unknown to him that soon would happen, it was getting closer minute by minute as the day went by.

Soon the nightmare would end, and a certain purple nightmaren would return.
