Selene sat on the roof, staring at the full moon. She thought about
how Ranma said that he didn't try to stick up for her more. "He stood up
for me more than he knows...no one as ever done that for me. Especially
when they find out what I can do." She whispered to herself, drawing her
legs close to her body. She drew in a shaky breath and released it closing
her eyes.
Blood, a gun, a bullet, screams, and death ran before her eyes. Selene snapped open her eyes, and gasped. The gun and the leaving bullet still flashed through her mind, and Selene was still gasping for air, when she felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Hey." Ranma said, and Selene jumped. "Didn't mean to scare you." He said when he noticed that her eyes had widened like a frightened fawn. "I still want to apologize for what I didn't do earlier."
Selene gazed at him and he turned his face down and looked at the roof. "You don't have to." Her voice was sincere and Ranma looked up. "You don't know how much you defended me, even after knowing what I can do." She gazed up at the moon, and then down at Ranma's face. "Thank you." She managed to whisper it, through her pride. Never has she ever thought that she would have to put aside her pride for anything, and an apology nevertheless. Well, it's also the fact that she never had to apologize for anything in her life. They sat in silence for a while before Ranma said something.
"Do you...umm...enter people's dreams?" Ranma asked a bit shy.
"Well it depends," Selene said. "When people say my name with great emotion, I sometimes don't have a choice." She pointed at Ranma and said, "Like what you did last night. Though I don't know why you said my name. Or even how you knew that it would work that way."
"I actually dreamt that you were a phoenix before I entered the other dream." Ranma said, facing down.
"I was wondering, why I felt funny." Selene caught Ranma's puzzled look out of the corner of her eye. "I was awake when I felt as though I was missing something." She shrugged. "And then the feeling disappeared, and I went to sleep. That's when I entered your dream since you called me." She shook her head. "That's the bad part about me, I have to go to people when they're in danger." She stated. "Stupid pact." She said under her breath.
"What?" Ranma asked confused. "Did you just say pact?"
"Huh?" Selene said. 'I didn't think that he had that good hearing.' She thought to her self. "No, what makes you think I said pact?"
"Nothing, never mind." Ranma said. "Look, do you mind teaching me English...I really suck at it. And if I don't get a passing grade in the subject then I'm gonna fail."
"Yeah, sure. Tomorrow's Saturday right?" Selene asked, and Ranma nodded his head. "I'll start tomorrow."
Blood, a gun, a bullet, screams, and death ran before her eyes. Selene snapped open her eyes, and gasped. The gun and the leaving bullet still flashed through her mind, and Selene was still gasping for air, when she felt a tap on her shoulder.
