Only For You: Chapter 02 Akane walked on the sidewalk, as usual, while Ranma walked on the top of the fence next to the sidewalk, as usual. After traveling in silence for several minutes, the redhead decided to join Akane on the ground."Hey, Akane, I've been thinking."
"About what?"
"I dunno. Stuff, I guess."
"What kind of stuff?" Akane stopped walking, forcing Ranma to do the same, and clenched her knuckles tighter around the book she was carrying. /Oh my god, does he know/
"Stuff about…us," the redhead replied, unable to look Akane in the eyes.
/Oh god, he knows./ Akane felt her cheeks redden. She couldn't reply.
"Do you…like me? Like this?" Ranma-chan's pigtail flipped over her shoulder as she turned her head to the side to avoid Akane's gaze. /As if I need to ask. She could never love me, not even if I were one-hundred percent man./
"Ranma…" Akane hesitated before continuing her thought. "I do like you as you are. It's just that… you never liked being a girl, and I thought that I could get over that in time, but I was wrong. I just…" Akane paused, unable to put her thoughts into words. "I just can't love you. Not as long as you're half male."
/She loves the girl me…/ Ranma's body froze completely. /I knew she hated boys, but I didn't know just how much…/
Author's note: Okay, so now I have a plotline! What is it? Only time will tell (you, at least). Anyway, thanks for reading. I decided to take out the Japanese because of He who is me's review. I didn't realize that it was tiresome. Also, I am a huge subbie, so I used commonly spoken Japanese phrases. Sorry if it annoyed you. It won't happen again -whimper- Review please!
