A/N: I hate writer blocks, don't you? I finally managed to find a
sledgehammer large enough to break this one. Well since I haven't updated
in quite a while, I should start writing straight away.
Enjoy.................

Amnesia
Chapter 8
After Ranma and Akane had managed to break their eye contact, Akane had ran to her room and locked herself inside. Ranma on the other hand, followed the 'voice' as he likes to call it, and went up the roof in one smooth motion. Now as he lies on his back watching the stars, the voice inside his head decided to strike up a conversation.
*Oi.* The voice said in the depths of Ranma's mind.
"What?" Ranma answered out loud.
*Let's talk for a bit*
"About what?"
*Just close your eyes and relax* Ranma did just that.
Before long the pig-tailed martial artist was asleep. In his sleep he dreams.
**********************************************************
As Ranma looked curiously about him as a figure materialized slowly in front of him. The figure looked just like Ranma, with the exception of a few minor differences, this Ranma looked tougher and has a slightly haunted look in his blue eyes.
"Thought it'd be easier to talk face to face." V-Ranma said as he straightened out the sleeve of his red chinese shirt.
( Okay just to make things clear, I'll refer to the 'voice' as V-Ranma from now on)
"Just who are you?" Ranma asked curiously as he walked around V-Ranma.
"Well to put it simply, I am who you are before you lost your memories." V- Ranma replied as he sat down on a windowsill that appeared out of nowhere.
"So you're like a back-up data?" Ranma asked as he sat down on a roof, that also just appeared.
Then the background wavered a bit and a......... disco hall appeared!
( Stop pressing my keyboard! Chibi Nabiki: Not a chance
*Bomp*
C.N.: Wahhhhh!!!)
Sorry. A mixture of the Tendo rooftop and Ranma's roof appeared.
"I guess you could call me that. It's not entirely accu..... accu......
what was that word again?" V-Ranma asked himself as he tugged absently on
his pigtail.
"Accurate, you mean?" Ranma supplied helpfully.
"Yeah! Accurate!"
"So are you going to like boot up my memory or something?" Ranma asked
excitedly, imagining his head being plugged with wires.
V-Ranma sweatdropped, "Not exactly....."
"Oh." Ranma sounded a bit disappointed.
"I'll show it to you instead." V-Ranma said as a door appeared beside
the windowsill. "Come."
Ranma took the offered arm and followed his counterpart through the door.
( that by the way has Akane written on a duck hanging from it.)
As Ranma and V-Ranma disappeared Akane appeared on the roof. Akane had
fallen asleep as she was reliving the day she had with Ranma.
As she stood up her eyes fell on the door that is floating in mid-air a
couple of feet away from her.
' Weird dream......' Akane thought as she went through the door. As the
door closed behind her, the background wavers and receded back into it's
original state.
********************************************************************
As they went through the door, Ranma found himself standing beside V-
Ranma as they hovered above a small home. Upon closer inspection Ranma
could barely make out the "Saotome" on the mailbox.
"Where is this?" Ranma asked the figure beside him.
"Where it all started." V-Ranma answered simply as both of them
descended into the house, not noticing that Akane was also pulled along.
Inside the house Ranma saw an event that he had only heard about, it was
the day that his dad took him from his mother.
"This is where it all actually started, and the catalyst is our stupid
old man there." V-Ranma said as he pointed towards Genma who was
promising to Nodoka.
"I promise that if Ranma does not grow up to be a man among men, he and
I will commit seppuku" Genma promised as he held Nodoka's hand in his.
"Dear! I never knew you had such resolve." Nodoka replied with her eyes
glowing.
' Wow Auntie Nodoka is simple-minded......' Akane thought to herself as
she watched the memory unfold. Then she shifted her attention to the two
figures chatting in front of her. ' They are both Ranma......'
( C.N.: Duhhhh!!!
Shut up!!! *Bomps*
C.N.: Wahhhhh!!!!)
' Yet only one of them is actually exerting that proud aura that I used
to know, the other exerts an aura of pure innocence (or is it
mischief?).' Akane thought as she continued her observation.
"Come let us move on." V-Ranma said as another door appeared beyond
them. As both Ranmas walked through the door, Akane hastens to follow
them.
***********************************************************
As Ranma walked through the door he felt someone touch the sleeve of his
Red T-shirt. ( yes, a T-shirt!)
( C.N.: He owns a T-shirt! *gasps in astonishment*
That's it! * Bomp, bomp, bomp*
C.N.: WAHHHHHH!!!!!!!)
He turned around to find Akane standing behind him, smiling slightly.
Ranma's face broadens into a grin, and he held Akane's hand as they
continued on.
"How did the tomboy get here?" V-Ranma asked pointedly.
Ranma just shook his head as Akane pounded V-Ranma flat.
After Akane had finished with her job, she dusted her dress off and went
back to Ranma's side.
"Okay, let's continue then......" V-Ranma said as he threw scared
glances toward Akane.
The scene unrolling in front of them was a scene that Akane did not
recognize. The scene was in a small wooden cabin, a blizzard whistled
sharply outside, and a small Ranma who Genma was covering with his own
blanket.
"It's warm, otou-chan....." Little Ranma said as he snuggled to his
father.
For a brief moment Ranma saw a hint of love pass through V-Ranma's eyes,
but it was covered again by contempt.
"Let's continue on......" V-Ranma said as the three of them went through
another door. ( This one has my name on it.) Not one of them noticed
that the real door was beside the one they went through.
***********************************************************
Author's room
The Author was busily typing on his laptop when the door opened. In
stepped Ranma, V-Ranma, and Akane.
"Hey where is this?" Akane said as soon as the author typed.
"I don't know." V-Ranma said confusedly.
"You went through the wrong door." The author replied.
Then V-Ranma jumped onto the bed and acted like a chicken.
"Hey! WHAT THE!" V-Ranma said as he proceeded to act like a chicken.
( Tee-hee I always wanted to do that.)
The Author pulled a rope and the three guests went down trapholes.
"Hey bring them back!!" Chibi Nabiki said as she jumped up and down on
the author's ( flea filled) bed.
"Shut Up!" The author said as he bomped C.N.'s head again.
Let's go on shall we........
***********************************************************
"Guess we went through the wrong door." Ranma said in a cheerful voice.
"Definitely." Then V-Ranma looked at his watch. "Oops, I'm nearly out
of time, we'll have to continue this later."
Ranma and Akane both disappeared.
( They woke up...)
"Ja!" V- Ranma's voice sounded softly at both their ears as they woke
up.
A/N: End of that chapter. Sorry about the little self-insert, but I
wanted to play a little trick on them........
By the way anybody here watches Gundam Seed? I just bought all of the
DvDs for it, but I still haven't finished watching all of it.
C.N.: This Is child abuse! I am going to sue you.
Shut Up! * Throws $10 dollar bill out of the 3rd floor balcony*
C.N.: Mine! * jumps out*
* closes door, smiles happily*
