Chapter 05: Heart Attack Awakens You
What Happened Last Time:
Ranma hurried down the tree and jumped the last tree limb and landed two feet and one hand on the ground, "Okay, maybe not all of it" He chuckled.
Ranma looked around, but couldn't see anyone that looked remotely like the guy in the suit with the bandana. Ranma looked to the door and saw…
Now The Conclusion:
Whoosh
Something or someone went by Ranma really fast. Ranma fell over, but when heard, "Ryoga hunny! The kids told me to make sure you got your lunch, but you stupid head! You forgot it!" Someone said in a high-pitched voice.
Ryoga looked over to see Akane coming towards him, and he stood up, holding his files and pens.
"Sorry dear" Ryoga said, kissing her on the forehead.
Ranma went behind the tree to watch the scene unfold before him, just like in the school when they were younger…
"Akane…" Ranma said, "I can't face you…"
Ryoga looked on past Akane and saw a familiar figure, although with a suit and tie.
"Ranma?" Ryoga asked, causing Akane to jump backwards.
"What did you say?" Akane asked Ryoga, thinking the impossible.
"Nothing…" Ryoga said, glancing down at Akane, then back over at the figure, only to see that it was gone.
"Well, here you go honey!" Akane said, cheerfully, "I thought I'd bring you this…" Akane said, handing him the bag.
"You didn't have to…" Ryoga said, looking kinda embarrassed.
"It's okay. I rushed over here from the Market, it wasn't hard" Akane said, looking down at the ground and noticing a pen, "Oh…Here you go…"
Ryoga accepted the pen and hugged Akane, and she turned around to leave, but Ryoga grabbed her arm, "Akane…"
Ranma
Ranma peeked out from behind the tree, looking at Ryoga and Akane. He instantly noticed something that made him sad…they were kissing.
"Akane…" Ranma said, feeling downer than he was already.
Ranma fell to his knees and went unconscious.
Ryoga and Akane
"Honey!" Akane sorta yelled when they split apart, "You didn't have to do that!"
Ryoga just laughed, "I love you…"
Akane looked at him, "I love you too…"
Akane hugged and kissed Ryoga one more time, and turned around to leave. She was outside the gates, and Ryoga was well into the building in the elevator when someone yelled, "CALL AN AMBULANCE"
Ranma (In Real Time, Not A FlashBack)
Ranma awoke, in a hospital bed, with IV's in his arms, and a complete set of Get Well Cards and Balloons all around him.
"What?" Ranma asked, and looked around, seeing no one.
A nurse came in and looked at a clipboard at the bottom on the hospital bed, then looked up at Ranma, and was shocked to see that he was awake. She hurried out of the room and came back with 10 doctors and nurses.
"Mr. Saotome!" One Doctor said, "This will be very hard to take in…"
Ranma just looked at him weirdly, "What are you talking about Doc?"
"Mr. Saotome…" The Doctor started, "You have been in a coma for 2 years…"
Ranma eyes popped out of his head, "WHAT!" He exclaimed.
"Mr. Saotome…please, stay calm" The Doctor persuaded.
"How can I stay calm!" Ranma exclaimed, "I just wasted two years of my life!" He screamed.
"Mr. Saotome" The Doctor looked him straight in the eye, "Your life will not be the same"
Ranma just looked at him oddly.
"A great many things have changed since you went under…" The Doctor said, "Luckily about a year ago, a lady has been keeping a journal for you, after she lost her husband in a tragic accident" The Doctor said, now taking a seat next to the hospital bed, in which Ranma was now sitting up in.
The other doctors and nurses left when they saw that everything was under control.
The Doctor took a couple of little note pads and handed them to Ranma, "Here's the journal entries that she wrote…" He said, watching Ranma look over the covers of the note pads, "They are addressed to you, from her" The Doctor stood up and looked down at Ranma, "She would sit there often" The Doctor said, pointing at a chair by the window next to Ranma's hospital bed, "She would hold your hand, and look out the window"
"What is her name, Doc?" Ranma asked, turning the pages of the note pads, skimming through the words.
"-sigh-" The Doctor continued, "She told me not to tell you, but she'll be here, 12p.m. sharp" The Doctor said, looking at his watch, "You have 15 minutes…"
Ranma had an idea, "Hey Doc?" He said as the Doctor turned to leave.
"Yeah?" The Doctor looked back.
"Can you do my a favor?" Ranma asked.
"Sure…" The Doctor said, sitting back down.
"How long will I be in here?" Ranma asked, looking at all the IV's in his arms and at the medical equipment around him.
The Doctor though a minute, "Not long…all you have to do, is have a nurse take out your IV's and get dressed up, and that's all" The Doctor said, looking at Ranma, who was obviously thinking about something.
"Mr. Saotome?" The Doctor asked.
"Ohh…Yeah?" Ranma said, looking back up to The Doctor, who was looking down to him.
"What are you planning?" The Doctor asked, checking his watch again.
"How long does it take to un-hook all these cords and machines?" Ranma asked, slyly.
"Why?" The Doctor asked, slowly.
15 minutes later
"Excuse me!" A Lady walked up to the service desk.
"Yes? How may I help you?" The lady behind the desk asked.
"Yes, I'm here to see Mr. Saotome, in a coma" She said, looking down.
"Oh yes, yes" The lady behind the desk said, "I'm new today, but my trainer said that you have came everyday for a year now?"
"Yes…" She blushed.
"Well, go right on up…" The lady behind the desk said and opened the double doors.
"Thank you" The Lady said, going through the doors and to the elevator.
She went into the elevator and pushed the "5" button, "-sigh-" She did, and thought about a few things, 'Everyday for a year, a year now…' She thought, looking at her reflection in the elevator door.
BING
The elevator doors opened and her reflection split in half. She walked through the door, and down the all too familiar hallways that she walked through, the same as the day before. She walked to room number 365, and walked right in. She didn't have to knock, because usually it was just Ranma's body in there, in a coma.
She walked in and looked at the bed, noticing him gone, "Ranma?" She asked, 'Oh No!" She thought instantly, "Maybe he died…"
Ranma was going to jump out and surprise her from the bathroom, but he heard crying and listened through the door.
"Ranma…" She cried, "Why'd you have to die on me! I've came here EVERYDAY for the past year!" She sobbed, louder, throwing herself on the bed, "I loved you all these years!" She took in a big breath, "Smells like then same old him…" She said, calmer, looking straight ahead out the window, then feeling all the pain rush back to her as tears filled the pillow she had her head on.
"I missed you…" She said, closing her eyes, "I still miss you…"
Ranma opened the bathroom door quietly and peeked out. He couldn't see who it was from the back, so he stepped out quietly and walked up to the bed, barely breathing. He let his hand hover over the back of the long black haired women, with her eyes closed, possibly asleep.
Ranma touched her cheek, and her eyes fluttered open and she instantly sat up, "Ranma?" She asked, looking into his eyes, "Is that really you?"
Ranma looked down into those perfect eyes and he instantly knew who it was, "Yes, it is me…" He said, "And I know who you are…" He said, sitting down next to her as tears started to fill her eyes, "You are…"
