His music stopped and he pressed stop. Kasumi smiled and clapped. Ranma sat up and looked over, "Another free show, I swear Kasumi, I'm going to have to start charging you,"
She laughed, "Very funny, how about I help you out?"
"And how would you do that?"
"I can play the drums a little, you can have a beat to work with,"
Ranma paled slightly, "You ask Shag before you go messing with his stuff,"
Kasumi just shrugged, "Oh well,"
Ranma set the guitar down and turned to the window. He did this often, he missed stargazing. "Hey Kasumi, Are the stars shining yet?"
Kasumi looked out the window, the stars were out with the full moon. She turned around and told Ranma. He got up and walked towards Himeno. She was startled when Ranma pulled her into a sudden hug, "Hey Hi-chan, want to do something with me?"
She leaned in, "What is it Ranma?"
He smiled, "Come outside and stargaze with me, I need someone out there to tell me if there are any shooting stars,"
She giggled, "What is it with you and the evening sky,"
He laughed lightly in her hair, "I use to spend a lot of time on a roof. Have many memories of watching the sunrise. How bout it?"
Himeno melted into the embrace, "Sounds like fun,"
On the roof, Ranma and Himeno looked up at the stars. Ranma let the night wind dance around him. Himeno was asleep in his arms. Soon he joined her.
Dream
Ranma listened as the band played the music. He waited for his part to jump in with the vocals. The guitar played it's melody as the drums started there part. Ranma counted the beats and jumped in as the tempo jumped
Away
I see it's going down
Today
Hoping in time
We'll bury all this pain
We'll awake something inside
Ranma grabbed the microphone as the chorus began. His eyes glowed as red energy burned from them and poured down his face like tears of blood
We pushed a button far
Inside we stare
Our hearts have BEEN REBORN
Why, I know
Feels like I've lost everything
That I've known
I cannot survive
Alone
Feels like I've lost
Everything I've known
The music slowed as the glow faded. Ranma reined the swirling hurricane that threatened to escape.
Our lives
Were good in every way
Too late
Time after time
Our love just turned to hate
But we stick by
Each others side
The energy flared back followed by a sickly green aura. The band seemed to do the same.
We pushed a button far
Inside we stare
Our hearts have BEEN REBORN
Why I know
Feels like I've lost everything
That I've known
I cannot survive
Alone
Feels like I've lost
Everything I've known
Ranma forced the power back down. His body was still bathed in the green light as the next verse started. He got in close as he spoke into the microphone.
I keep holding on
I fear I'm going to be alone
Every time we fight
It feels so right
I feel so enslaved
By my pride
Can we meet again?
He let the energy loose as his throat became dry. He looked something akin to a demon and the words and feelings flowed.
We pushed a button far
Inside we stare
Our hearts have BEEN REBORN
Why I know
Feels like I've lost everything
That I've known
I cannot survive
Alone
Feels like I've lost
Everything I've known
End Dream
Ranma awoke, "What a performance, I have to record that!"
