Movement.

His legs taking him to another place that brings no happiness.

No calmness for his mind.

That place of learning which never teaches its students how to deal with the pains of the world outside its hallowed halls.

That place, where so many of his fights take place.

Where the foolish 'samurai' indulged in his delusions.

Foul sorcerer.

Pig-tailed girl.

Where there were so many people, yet he still seemed to stand-alone.

"Ranma. Wait up!"

He was running on the fence. But he hadn't started running yet. He had just jumped on.

"Ranma!"

Snapping his head back to look at Akane he almost lost his balance.

Jumped to the ground to avoid a fall into the cold waters below he waited for Akane to catch up.

30 seconds later she did, at her top running speed.

"What's wrong with…you…today…." Her voice trailed off as she got a closer look at Ranma. His eyes looked glazed.

"Ranma? Are you…feeling alright?"

"Huh? Yeah. I've fine Akane. Why do you care?"

She looked at him oddly for a few seconds.

"I don't. I'm just curious why you seem so eager to get to school today." She stated as she began walking towards the school once more.

"What makes you think I'm eager to go there?"

"With the speed you were going?"

"Uh. Was I really going that fast?"

She once more gave him an odd look.

"You didn't notice?"

His brows scrunched.

"No…"

Her face turned concerned as she regarded him. She was sincerely worried about him. It was time like this when

"Where'd the rain come from?" He pondered out loud, casting an annoyed look at the sky.

Akane sighed, but seemed to be suppressing a small smile.

"Come on Ranma. We're at the school, and early for once. We should have enough time to find you some hot water."

"Yeah. If you sayGAH!"

"Oh! Fair Pig-tailed Girl! How I have missed you! And the beauteous Akane! Jump into my a"

"She ain't jumping anywhere you jerk!" Ranma shouted, once more kicking Kuno sky high.

"How does he do that?"

"Come on Ranma. Let's forget about that idiot and find you some water."

Akane studied the path that sky-Kuno had taken.

"From the looks of it you can at lest take satisfaction from making him late."

Ranma forced a smirk.

"Yeah. Warms the heart don't it?"

Since it's nearing the end of my first semester and the due dates and tests are coming up, unfortunately, I will not be able to work on Dehairi as much as I have been.
