The Stars Tell All. Part 2- Ranma's side
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Baka!"
*Slap*
That one action from her felt like a million needles stabbing my heart all at once. I placed my hand on my cheek where she had slapped me. It mildly stung physically, but nothing compared to how that had hurt mentally and emotionally. She may have beat me up in the past but she had never ever slapped me.
As I watched her run off into the distance, one word escaped my mouth.
"Akane."
---------------------------------------------------
"Why do things have to be so complicated?"
Ranma was sitting on some random rooftop in Nerima. His favorite place to think. He couldn't get her face out of his thoughts, the face she had right before she slapped him. her face on their date. her smiling, her crying. She looked like she had really been hurt. He had really hurt her. And he couldn't stand it. He couldn't live with it. he wanted to die.
"RANMA! PREPARE TO DIE!!!" Ryoga's battle cry rang into the depths of Ranma's mind. 'Ryoga can kill me. yes. he can punish me for my wrong doing..."
Ranma stood up and faced Ryoga, his head hung low, waiting for the attack.
*CRACK*
Ryoga's attack connected with Ranma's face. His nose now bleeding, possibly broken, and Ranma put up no fight.he just stood there. Ryoga's face changed from his battle face to a worried or concerned one. Ryoga stopped his attacks and looked at Ranma, trying to figure out what just happened.
Ranma was expecting Ryoga to keep on beating him up. making him feel a little bit better with every blow. Ranma looked up at Ryoga, hating the look on his face. He had to get Ryoga to fight him but he'll never do it if he feels sorry for him!
"Ranma, what's wrong? Why didn't you fight back? Why didn't you move out of the way?" Ryoga sounded not only concerned but a little ticked off.
"Ryoga. WHY DIDN'T YOU KEEP BEATING ME UP?!" Ranma was yelling at Ryoga.His face had what looked like might be tears and he had a lot of anger in his face. In his eyes, you could tell that he was tearing himself up. Wanting to get away from it all. " DON'T YOU WANT YOUR REVENGE?! TO GET BACK AT ME FOR ALL THE TIMES I CALLED YOU NAMES?! ALL THE TIMES I BEAT YOU UP IN FRONT OF AKANE?! Or even the fact that it was ME that pushed you into the cursed spring? How about when I wasn't there for out fight? WHY DON'T YOU GET YOUR REVENGE?!"
Ranma was hyperventilating now... All of that screaming. It seemed to help. A little bit. Ryoga knew that something horrible must have happened. The tears were pouring out of Ranma's eyes. It looked out of place. Ryoga had the urge to throw some cold water on him just so that it would look right, but that isn't what Ranma needs right now. He needs a friend. A shoulder to cry on. Most people can see Ranma and Akane's problem. Ryoga had finally seen it. He never told anyone, he just kept it to himself. How Ranma and Akane loved each other so much that they were afraid. Akane was afraid because of what had happened to her mother. And the fact that Ranma could just run off with one of his other fiancés and she would be alone. Ranma was just afraid of those feelings. He's never really had them because he grew up without a mother and his father was.Well, not a model dad. He also wanted to not do what his father said. He did what he said all his life and he was sick of it. They were both proud and afraid.
"WHY ARE YOU JUST STANDING THERE?! HIT ME!"
*Slap!*
Now Ryoga slapped Ranma. Ryoga grabbed Ranma's shoulders and looked him right in the eyes.
"Ranma! Snap out of it! I'm not going to fight you. Now tell me, what's wrong?"
Ranma sank down on the roof tiles. Ryoga sat next to him. "It started last week. Akane asked me if I would like to go out sometime.like, on a date. We decided that we needed some help to get our dads out of the way. Possibly my other 'fiancées'. We asked Kasumi to help us. She said that she would do anything she could. She was the reason we could go out. However. while on the date today, Ukyo showed up at the same movie that we were going to. She treated it like it was a coincidence. I don't know if it was. I was forced to sit between them and I couldn't do anything with Ukyo there. I couldn't even hold Akane's hand. After the movie Kodachi showed up. You get the picture."
"Right." Ryoga was listening intently. This sounded like something that would happen to them.
"Anyway, Akane and me decided to wrap up the day with a stroll in the park. The stars were beautiful, the moon lighting our way. It was supposed to make the whole day better. But Shampoo showed up saying that she was taking her 'duck' for a walk. She shouldn't treat Mousse like that, especially just to be a muse to run into Akane and me. Just like Ukyo, though she acted civil. it was odd.like, she was just there to make sure me and Akane wouldn't have any time alone. She just made idle chitchat but something slipped, Akane got mad, Shampoo left and I said something stupid. I think I really hurt Akane. She slapped me and ran off. The look in her eyes.I can't take it anymore!" Ranma felt devastated.
Ryoga was slightly devastated. He didn't know how to help. He's been through a lot but never anything like this. He decided to give some advice and see if it did Ranma any good.
"You know what? When I go though hard times I look at the stars. They say you can see your own soul by watching the stars. They give me the answer I need. Or I just fall asleep, but then I find the answer in a dream. Maybe you'll find your answer." Ryoga hoped that this would help. He didn't know how Ranma would react after watching the stars for a while. Sometimes they didn't give good advice. But they can be a lifesaver if you read them right. "I think I'll leave you alone to think for now. Until we meet again!" Ryoga jumped off the rooftop and ran off to who-knows-where.
'The stars huh?' Ranma laid back onto the tiles and gazed. The stars reminded him of Akane's eyes.A little bit.Her beautiful brown eyes.*slap* Now Ranma was mentally slapping himself! 'Stop thinking about Akane right now!' He looked at the stars again, hoping to decipher the shapes into an answer he could use.
------------------------------------------------------
*Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!*
*YAWN!*
Ranma had fell asleep but had received his answer in his dream. He watched the birds with a smile on his face. He knew what he was going to do.
Ranma leaped up and ran off to put his plan into action.

Author's note- Okay. I finished writing this out in my notebook so the entire story has been finished. I got one of my friends to type it out for me (I'd never get it done myself. BE GRATEFULL!!!) The story continuously changes because I change small details that make the story change directions! If it's a little weird at the end than I'm sorry 'cause I didn't know how to write that and that's where most of the ideas kept changing. So at least this will be finished!
