Disclaimer: Yes, yes it is true. sob I DO NOT OWN RANMA ½! Oh well!

I AM THE SERIAL BRIDE! BEWARE MY HUSBANDS! THEY WILL KICK YOUR HUSBANDS A!!!

Akane's breathing became labored. "What the hell do you think you're doing in my room?" Ranma paled. "Akane, I…." "Never mind! I don't even want to know. Better question. What are you doing with that?" Her voice was so soft it was practically a whisper, and yet to Ranma the noise was deafening. She had screwed up again. Except this was worse. Way worse. "Nothing!!" He dropped the picture like it was on fire. Akane moved to the side of her door and pointed towards the hallway. "Get. Out." Wait, she wasn't going to hit him? Scream at him? Call him names? "Damn it Ranma, get out!" She stared at him as tears of rage spilled from her eyes. Ranma started walking towards the door, feeling the guilt tug at his conscience. He stepped into the hallway and turned around. "Akane, I-" The door slammed in his face. He trudged upstairs and lay down on his futon. His fathers snoring was quieter than usual, or maybe that was simply his thought drowning him out.

Whenever you're around her you hurt her.

You don't deserve her.

You'll only make her cry, and you know it.

But you're too selfish to give her up. To let her be happy.

Too selfish to let someone who will treat her right step in and replace you.

Too selfish to admit you're wrong.

Too selfish to admit that you love her.

Ranma tossed and turned for about an hour before getting up, creeping around his father, and climbing out the window. He hung upside down, watching Akane. So complicated, so hard to understand, so overdramatic. But for all her flaws, he saw nothing but her perfection. That's all anyone ever saw of her. The creeps at school, Ryouga, Kuno….. They had no issues admitting how truly flawless she was anyway. He watched her as she sobbed into her pillow, knowing that it was probably his fault, he had betrayed her trust, betrayed her. He sighed, crawled back through his windows, and went downstairs. He stood outside her door before gently knocking on her door. "Yes?" The voice was quiet, and somehow…. Broken? He prayed he was mistaken. "It's me. Can I come in?" "It's late. You should be in bed." He sighed. That meant no. Hell no, maybe. He began to turn around when he heard Akane scream. Ranma ran in the room, but Akane was nowhere to be found. He jumped out her window, after all, the bastard who grabbed her couldn't have gone too far. But neither the guy nor Akane was anywhere to be found.

AN: Stupid? Corny? Oh well, I'll improve with practice. Review please!!!
