Fear.
Heh, the things I fear. I fear a lot of things. Getting lost for eternity, not being love by someone. Lots of things. Of all the people I know, the only person that really understands me, I think, is ironically Ranma. And for that, I hate him.
I guess I don't really hate him. I mean, he is the first to give me something that I didn't have since I was a kid. Somewhere to go to. I got separated from my parents when I was seven years old. I fended for myself for a while. Went to school when some officers found me. I basically wandered just like my parents. That is until I met him...
Fear.
Back then, I only fear one thing. I feared that I would never be able to find where I am anymore. Ranma saw to it that I knew where I was. In middle school, I knew one thing. If Ranma is there, I'm probably in the right place. Of course, with Ranma stealing my bread rolls and constantly insulting me, I get angry more often than I get the chance to say thank you. But I guess Ranma knew what I meant to say anyway.
It's funny. Both me and Ranma are really bad at stuff like saying thank you or sorry, but we seem to know when we say that to each other. Every time we duel, we would give each other this glance to say I'm sorry to beat you up, but you're the only person to fight me evenly nowadays. Ranma always wins at the end. I'm kinda glad that he does. I mean without him always winning, I guess I wouldn't have a reason to wander anymore.
Fear.
There's another think I fear. Not knowing where to go anymore. When I'm lost, I'm always trying to find something that might beat Ranma. When Ranma went to Jusenkyo, I found a technique to make anything as tough as steel. Then I learnt the Breaking Point from Cologne. Finally I learnt the Shi Shi Hokodan.
Lately, I don't feel as afraid of not knowing where to go anymore. I have Akari. I know that if ever I don't know where to go, I can go to her farm and she welcome me with open arms, pig OR man. Something Akane won't do. She might say hi to me when I'm a man, but only welcome me when I'm a pig.
Fear.
I fear that I might turn into a pig permanently, like Ranma did when we met up with Herb. So what do I do? I do what I do best, I fight. Just like Ranma. Me and Ranma have an understanding of some sort. We hate each other's guts. We also need each other to grow. We are friends, we are rivals, most importantly, we are two completely opposite sides of martial arts. He is speed, I am power. He is ingenuity, I am endurance.
The last time I fought him was a few weeks after Saffron. I noticed something. He fought... differently. I realized that I was out matched so I relied on my endurance to pull me through, it usually works. But that time, he fought like a demon.
He charges as one would pounce at a prey. He punches as if he would cut me with claws. He jumps and lands on his feet no matter what I throw at him. I guess he always fought like that, but it's only until now I think I realize it. He fought like a cat.
Fear.
I freaked out when I noticed this. Was he using his Neko-ken? Is the Cat fist slowly taking over him?
For those of you who thought I had no idea of this technique Ranma possesses... You're dead wrong. I know he knows it. He KNEW I know it. He also knows that I won't exploit it. In exchange, he helps me out with little things.
Anyway, after that fight, I asked him. I think he freaked too. He just shook his head before Akane hits him to the stratosphere for 'picking on me'. Kinda hilarious if you're looking at it from my view. But nevertheless, a kind gesture from her.
"RANMA!"
Huh? Isn't that Akane's voice? Wait... that means I'm at the Tendo Dojo! Ranma is up on the roof again with a cat!? I thought Ranma freaks out when a cat gets near! What the hell is going on? Did he really master the cat fist!
"Yeah?"
"DINNER!"
"COMING!"
Fear.
Looks like one of my fears is starting to catch up to me. Ranma is going to improve in the art much faster than I am, and he's going to leave me behind and hold back just like he does with Mousse. With the cat fist, he might just do that... Maybe I should train on countering the cat fist. Or maybe I should just go to Akari and see if she needs help with her pigs? Maybe I should ask Ranma to use the TRUE Cat fist against me so that I can think of a counter like Ranma does with MY moves.
That should be fun... now where exactly is Akari's farm...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, I lied... it ISN'T a one shot... I never feel happy with them anyway -,- So here I am expanding on it...
Heck, I decided to change the whole idea of the cat fist and just go with what I think all the Characters in Ranma1/2 fears and add some plot to the mix of things... whatcha guys think?
Ryoga and Ranma: I always thought that they are very much opposites but the same. Ryoga would be more open with his emotions and Ranma would hide them even to themselves. So I figured Ryoga would admit more fears than Ranma would. Of course, Ranma might REALLY have not many fears who knows? I think I'll go with Genma next... or maybe Akane... I'd have to see...
