Okay... now this is going to be POVs... this is Ranma.

Oh! And Reviews are always appreciated.

THINGS CHANGE

It's been eight months. Eight hellish months.

Pops and I are still living at the Tendous. For some reason, Akane asked her dad not to let us go. And since my excuse of a father will take ANY opportunity to live as a freeload, we stayed without much argument.

I kinda liked the idea of staying. The doujo had become the closest thing I had to a home and although, I knew things were going to be awkward... I just guessed time will heal and eventually everything will go back to normal.

That was then... now... well I'm not so sure about that anymore...

At first, things got weird between me and Akane. (Even I saw that one coming) We stopped fighting, which would had been great if we also hadn't stop talking.

The first months I didn't really notice Akane and I weren't in speaking terms... I was too mad at her to want to talk, so I didn't miss that at all... but when I started to get over that silly impulse of hating her and when my pride finally decided to go a little easy on her... well I found myself desperately longing for her company.

Things didn't got better when I tried to talk with her, though.

I just didn't know what to say or how to say it... It had been at least two months without not even giving her the time. Could I come by and say "Yo 'Kane what's up?" after weeks of silence?

Sure... If I had done that she would have thought I was a jerk... that I wasn't feeling myself... that I had a fever... or that I was under some kind of spell... I mean it's Akane we're talking about here. Possibly she would have found a way to make me look bad just for saying hi to her... or would have looked suspiciously at me and then all my attempts to start a conversation would have ended awkwardly...

She really would have, you know... and at first that's what stopped me from even trying, but then I realized that all that crap didn't really matter at all; and that it was worth it if at the end I at least had a five minute conversation with her... It didn't need to be a conversation either, I would have been happy with a fight and a round of insults. A "Ranma you jerk!" was better than nothing and back then that was more than enough.

I was THAT desperate.

So I could do it... I was gonna do it... but even If I could and I wanted... my tongue couldn't.

That's when I realized I couldn't bring my self to talk with her... I couldn't even call her names... (my tongue wouldn't even help me with that) and she didn't hit me anymore, not even when Shampoo groped me and tried to kiss me. That kinda worried me. It was just weird not having to run from her mallets. I even started to miss her calling me a perv.

But my relationshi... er... well... um... Akane wasn't the only thing that changed since the engagement was broken. NOTHING has been the same at home, or any other place for that matter.

Nabiki's been off my back for a while now... that's nice actually. Must be because she doesn't have much info to bribe me with since anything embarrassing I ever did had to do with Akane in someway, and when it hadn't... well she usually was the only one I didn't want to find out about it.

Kasumi's been nice as always, but I'm starting to feel pops and I are a burden to her. We are just lots of extra unnecessary chores around the house. She keeps smiling and all... but now she is not that tolerant with pops. Last week I saw her frowning at him when he started to pick at my food. It wasn't her worried frown... or her "I don't think that's nice" frown... it was more like a "I'm mad an annoyed so you better stop that" frown... dad hasn't pick at my food since that day.

Mr Tendou hasn't stop crying, one would think he'll be drained by now but his flow of tears is just as big as when he started. I think he's still trying to convince Akane about rethinking that thing with the engagement, but Akane has learned how to pointedly ignore him every time he tries that. Pops... well he's just been a bigger pain in the ass lately... nothing weird about that.

The rest of them?

They've all gone nuts for real this time. I thought that life will be at least a little bit easier with one engagement broken... You know less people chasing me? But NO... Things are just really funky now.

Let me start with Ryoga. When he found out Akane wasn't my fiancé any longer, he was thrilled. I've never seen someone that happy. He was really, really nice to me, not death treats or "Ranmas you'll die". He acted more or less like a friend.

Then after a few days he came back and pounded me for been such a fool and make Akane cry... yeah that was pretty much like him but it really got me confused, especially when he just got madder after I told him It couldn't have been me who made Akane cry because I hadn't even talk with her lately.

It was really hard to beat him, and when I finally did I was worn out. I still don't get what was all that about.

Later on he started to be nice again. He even apologized! Ryoga has been even less predictable ever since. Sometimes he is nice and calling me buddy. Some others he is back to his old self but instead of his usual cries of "Ranma you die!!" he strikes yelling "Ranma you idiot fool!!!"

Yep... quite puzzling don't you think?

Must be because he is been expending an awful amount of time with Akane. Her olds habits must be rubbing off on him. I mean P-chan is always near now that I can't beat him in Akane's name. Well she does seems happier whenever he is near. And at least now Kuno is the one pummelling poor P-chan around. He is convinced the "dreadful sorcerers pork" is the reason why Akane keeps telling him off even thought she is not under "my evil spell" anymore.

Well at least that's something that doesn't bother me at all.

So Kuno forgot about me... but I'm still waiting for him to forgot his Pigtailed Goddess.

His sister on the other hand, is still as crazy as ever. Now that I think about it, that's the only thing that hadn't change at all... wonder why I can't find any comfort in it.

The old Ghoul and Shampoo have been acting really nice. That's never good when it comes about them. I think Shampoo is convinced that now that Akane and I are not engaged anymore is just a matter of time for me to go and marry her.

Ukyo you say?

Yeah... Ukyo my friend... she hadn't been very comforting either. You see, she's been... well quite clingy lately. Now I realize she's not really my friend. She's just another fiancée... the fights she's been picking with Shampoo are unbelievable!

So I don't think of Ukyo as such a good friend... and the closest thing I had to a friend after her was Akane... and of course Akane is not around anymore.

I've been miserable... and I can't really get near that roof now. Damn, that place used to be pretty reassuring... but that was before all of this started.

Geez! Life has been really hellish this last eight months.

And what it's worst... it doesn't seem like it's gonna get better any sooner. Knowing my luck it might get worst.

Okay... thank you very much for reviewing this... as I said before this thing got accidentally erased so I'm reposting it... So to the both of you who review my prologue THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
