Disclaimers:
Immortal is by… I forget, but I don't own it. I got off Deadly alliance. Don't own that either.
Everything I've known is a song by Korn. Not mine
Just Like You is a song By Three Days Grace. I don't know it.
Ranma and the band finished playing the song from Ranma's dream. The crowd was wild for it. He turned to the band, "Let's wrap it up after this song. How about Just Like You?"
One blinked, "Isn't that one song you wrote in a major funk?"
Two shrugged, "Fine with me, But I feel like wrapping up now,"
Three shook his head, "Last song of the night. I hate to just drop off here,"
Ranma nodded, "Then we play," He turned towards the crowd, "Ok people, this is the last song of the night. I wrote this one a way back when. It's called Just Like You,"
The music slammed to life as the drums and guitars produced their rhythms. Ranma gained an almost feral look as he began to sing. Memories of people came to his mind
I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you
I could be fake
I could be stupid
You know I could be just like you
Ranma came close to the microphone as the chorus began. Light shone from behind his mirrored shades as his chi flowed.
You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think I'll be just like you
More people crept to his mind and he continued. People cheered as the rhythmic
I could be cold
I could be ruthless
You know I could be just like you
I could be weak
I could be senseless
You know I could be just like you
You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think I'll be just like you
On my own, cause I can't take living with you
I'm alone, so I won't turn out like you want me to
I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you
The music faded as the song came to the end. Ranma reigned in his chi and smiled. The crowd was cheering the band. Himeno hid something; Ranma couldn't tell what it was. Being blind has downsides. The band was eating up the accolades. Ranma walked to the bar, "Hi-chan, mind handing me a drink?"
She smiled, "Ranma, I've been wondering. What if you could see again? No energy aura thing needed?"
Ranma whipped towards Himeno, "What? You mean like normal people? Why?"
Himeno leaned in, "There is this doctor; he specializes in reconstructive surgery on the eyes. It's expensive just for a visit,"
Ranma smiled, "I take it that the thing you hid behind the bar is a jar of tips for my visit?"
She blushed, "You caught me Ranma,"
Ranma smiled, "I'll go to him. However if I don't want to surgery, It ain't happening,"
She smiled and handed Ranma his drink. She ran back and forth along the bar keeping customers happy. Ranma sat in his seat pondering the possibility of seeing. 'If it works, I could see. To see again, is it really worth the effort? Do I want that? Losing my sight has given me more than my sight ever did. I promised her I'd see this quack, but I really could give a rip. Damn,'
Ranma continued to sit at the bar as Himeno continued her work. Ranma felt a hand clasp his shoulder, "Hello Fem boy, what a surprise to find that you can sing,"
Ranma turned towards Taro, "It's been a while pantyhose,"
Taro smirked, "Not any more. I beat the freak and got my name changed,"
"Really, what the freak give you?"
Taro laughed, "He didn't, I stomped and told him my name was Hiten Taro. He didn't argue the fact,"
Ranma joined in on the laughter, "Well, good for you. You can't call me fem boy anymore, I'm cured,"
Taro frowned, "What is with the shades in a dark bar?"
Ranma turned back to the bar, "I'm blind. Been that way for a while,"
Taro looked down, "Guess you can't fight anymore,"
Ranma set his drink on the bar. Gray light shone from behind the glasses, "Is that a challenge? When one is blind; their other senses do not go with the sight. It took me a couple of weeks for me to adjust and compensate in my own little way. You want to step into the park or what?"
