Chapter one: Is it true?
"Ryoga..." Akane gasped, her eyes growing wide. She didn't believe it, it couldn't be, he can't be standing there. It had been so long… No one has seen him since it happened… But there he was, in a Furikan High school uniform, smiling that fangy smile she had long forgotten. But when she glanced into his eyes, she found them to be slightly dulled.
A flood of different emotions and thoughts broke free in Akane's mind. Rage, hate, worry, fear, guilt and acceptance. It was just too much for her at once. She needed to talk with Ryoga, there was so much she needed to ask him, so much she needed to tell him. She looked over and saw Ryoga take an empty seat near the window as Mr. Kanzaki began his lesson for the day. She sighed and rested her chin on her palms. 'I can't talk to him yet. Mr. Kanzaki would have a fit, and I can't risk getting in trouble again…' She sighed again, she had a feeling this class would last a very long time…
After what seemed like an eternity, the class was finally dismissed for lunch. Akane quickly shot up from her desk and carefully made her way to Ryoga's. She could see him gazing intently out of the window. "Ry-"
Without turning away from the window Ryoga started to speak very softly. "Hello Akane-san, it has been awhile hasn't it? I would have called, or written, but well… You know…"
"Ye…yeah it has… It's been over a year… Ryoga, were have you been all this time?" Akane quietly asked, slightly unnerved by his demeanor.
Ryoga sighed and shifted his gaze into Akane's eyes, boring deeply into them. "Akane-san, I-"His stomach growled causing him to stop. With a sheepish chuckle he glanced at a bento he had on top of his desk and looked back to Akane.
"Ah, forgive me Akane-san, but I am a little too hungry to talk right now. Maybe another time?" With that said, he got up and walked past Akane, not even glancing back. Akane just stared as she watched him go. He's never done that before, never just given her the cold shoulder like that. She sighed and sat down at his desk and began to rub her temples. 'Ryoga, what's happened to you? Why have you become so cold? Do you still blame yourself for what happened?' Akane stared out the window and spotted Ryoga eating near a tree. She couldn't stop the old feeling of hate build within her. 'It wasn't your fault Ryoga, but I can't stop this feeling of hate… If it wasn't for you, if you weren't there, then…' A hand clamped down on Akane shoulder startling her out of her thoughts.
A pig-tailed young man gazed at her with an expression of curiosity and worry on his face. "Yo, where were you Akane, we were supposed to meet at the usual place. I asked Yuka if she's seen you and she said you were here."
Akane looked over at the boy she loves, yes loves. After Ryoga left, a lot of things happened. She realized how important life is, and she no longer wanted to lie to herself. Sure, she didn't admit it to him out loud, but she was finally truthful to herself. Although, she does want Ranma to admit that he loves her first. 'No, it's not the time to think about that Akane…' She glanced out the window, watching Ryoga. "Ranma… it's Ryoga… he's here." Turning to face Ranma, she was not surprised at the look of confusion that she saw.
Ranma blinked. 'Did I just hear her right, is Pork-chop back?' "Akane, did you just sa-"
"Ryoga's back, he's right there over by the tree, eating."
Ranma glanced out the window to the tree and did indeed see the reclusive bandanna wearing martial artist. 'He's back, what's he doing back?' Ranma felt a wave of guilt overwhelm him. 'After what I said, after what we all said, I didn't think he would ever come back.' The memory of the last time he saw Ryoga replayed into his mind. Ryoga's face with battle honed concentration suddenly turning to deathly white. The look of disbelief and confusion plainly on his face. Ranma remembered in those few seconds how everyone turned against Ryoga. He knows it wasn't Ryoga's fault, that it was all an accident, but in the heat of the moment, every one wanted someone to blame. And to this day, he still can't help wanting to blame Ryoga… Ranma could remember everything they had said to him that day, he could remember the look on Ryoga's face before he ran away. He could still remember the screaming… A voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Ranma, you've been quiet for the past few minutes… Are you okay?"
"Yeah… Akane, did you talk to Ryoga?"
"I tried, I tried to ask him what happened, but he just told me he was hungry and not in the mood to talk about it…" Akane sighed once again watching Ryoga. 'Ryoga's been back for less than two hours and I find myself sighing every five minutes' "Ranma, we need to talk to him, we have to let him know it wasn't his fault…"
"Maybe it wasn't, but you still blame him, don't you. I know it's not his fault Akane, I really do, but I can't help but blame him."
Akane let out a small yell and hit the desk with her fist. "You right, I do blame him, I hate Ryoga for what he did, I absolutely hate him! If it wasn't for him… then… then…" Akane started to sob uncontrollably. She jumped up from the desk and buried her face in Ranma's chest. Holding him tightly, she began to release pent up emotions…
Ranma comforted his fiancé, listening to her cry. It broke his heart, hearing Akane cry. He held her gently and began to rub her back. Akane hiccupped into his chest and Ranma started to speak. "It's okay Akane… let it out. It's okay…" He gazed out the window back to where Ryoga was eating and found himself gazing right into his eyes… 'Ryoga…'
Ryoga looked up at the scene before him. Akane was crying in Ranma's arms. He couldn't help but feel that he caused that. And the way that Ranma was staring right at him, he had a feeling he did. 'It seems Akane and Ranma got closer since I've been away.' Ryoga took a bite of his lunch. 'It doesn't hurt, but why should it? Someone like me doesn't deserve any love. Not after what I did.' Ryoga sighed, 'What am I doing here? I don't belong here anymore…' Ryoga laughed softly, he knew why he was here. The guilt never left him, and he no longer had the energy to run. All of his travels, all the time he spent running, he could never forget. He remembered the last temple he stopped at. 'The monks are right, running solves nothing. I needed to come back, I need to see if I can make things right…' The school bell rang bringing Ryoga out of his reverie. Slowly cleaning up and rising, he began to head back to class. Where he knew, he would find a waiting Ranma and Akane…
