Chapter Eight: Ranma

"Well, are you okay Ranma?" I was still in a daze when I got as far from Akane I could at the time. I don't wanna be around her right now.

"Anyway I am. I, I can still fight." I turned to Ryoga who had gotten up from my attack and stood ready to fight. "Ryoga. We aren't finished just yet." I'm too battered to fight Ryoga now, but I gotta finish this fight. I won't be seen defeated by Ryoga of all people!

"I won't fight you Ranma. I forfeit." What the deuce? He can't do that. Can he? He moved over to that Akari girl. I didn't even see her here. He's forfeiting this though? I never thought Ryoga would do that. He must be granting mercy since I was injured protecting Akane.

"You can't do that Ryoga! Why would you?" I don't understand why he would quit.

"I can do anything I wish. Bye Akane." He can't do this! He and Akari just waved and walked away like it was nothing. I was about to run after the idiot, but I was stopped when I felt Akane's hand on my shoulder.

"Ranma you won. Even if it wasn't the victory you wanted." She doesn't understand that it wasn't a true victory, but I don't have the strength to argue. I don't think I can make it home on my own.

"Akane. I'll never ask this ever again, but can you walk me home?" Damnit! I sound like such a weakling when I say that. If I didn't have to take my own attack I would've asked her if I could walk her home.

"I guess so." She said it halfhearted too. Like I was just a burden or annoyance to her. Well she isn't so great herself.

"It's getting late. So what did you make for me again?" I wonder what poison she made me for dinner that she got so mad over anyway.

"Ranma I made you dim sum, but I threw it out when I saw you with Shampoo." She looked sorry for once when she was saying she was sorry.

"Well that's okay I guess, but I am still hungry." I am so tired and I'm running on empty after that short fight with Ryoga. If she only kept that food around I could have faked eating it, and then go eat some junk food or something. Why did she even throw it away? I never know why she does anything. "Listen, uh, why did you run when you saw me with Shampoo?"

"You don't know why?" Uh-oh. She looked pissed and I had a small felling that I should hide, but my legs weren't moving. "Well I'm not going to tell you if you don't know."

"Well, if you don't tell me I'll never know. At least not during the next two weeks." Why, if she wants me to apologize, would she not tell me? This would take a long while to sort out on my own. "I mean you didn't have to beat me up and then run before I can say anything dummy." Damn I'm making her mad so I better get away from this subject. "Anyway, I wouldn't mind having a dinner cooked by you." That made her blush so much and it made me smile at how pathetic she was.

"Then when we get back I'll make you something." She was excited about this and I knew it. She was about to make some more crud, but if I am there to help her it may come out good.

Thanks to:

Mary Hawthorne: Yeah, I should do that. I'm just stupid and I forget how things go. Especially when I wrote all these chapters so far apart from the last. I lost the track of the story.

Darth Wraith: I know they're short. Don't mention it again. But I am trying to get the angst factor. As I said, I'm losing sight on everything. I'll have to take a break as I said to get this going right again.

Terryie: I could never do that, but you should. It sounds good.

Once more, the next two chapters are the last for the moment. I just finished Nega-Ranma here, and so I think after I finish up a few more stories I'll be back to writing CWR. So anyway, get going. Why are sitting in front of your CPU? Go! Go outside and play. Run about and all. You know fun stuff. I need to go read the Metamorphosis (Stinks). So chiao.
