I was standing in the middle of a group of people. I was once again holding my guitar, waiting for my moment to shine once more.
I'm at the mall in Nerima, playing for a group of people. Behind me was a nameless group that had just asked me to play with them. I couldn't very well say no. I mean, I like to play.
The music started, and I lost myself in the rhythm.
"I'm winning, you're losing I'm falling, your agony Lower than Lower before Your forgotten memory"
I looked out upon the crowd as I sang, the more people that noticed us, the more came to watch us. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed as more and more came towards the circle of people, listening. I could see some of my friends and enemies amongst them.
"My heaven, your hell I'm killing, you're fantasy More and more, you follow Your divorced reality"
More people were coming! Geez, this group wasn't kidding when they said this would be big. I allowed a small smile to come up as I saw the love of my life, Chaos, near the back. She was wearing a lovely dress and watching me intently. Heh, I better treat her to something nice after this.
"You're trying to take me You're trying to make me This is the only Give me the only thing I'm tired of trying I'm tired of lying The only thing I understand is what I feel."
I love to sing. It's a fact that I love music almost as much as running and fighting. Well... reading manga was up there too, but not as high. Heh heh.
"Identity, fantasy Heresy, Killing me Lower and lower,before This thing to feed"
I looked out once again, and glared a little upon my ex-fiance, Akane Tendo. God, I hated that little brat. She was a spoiled brat, it was a fact of life. Briefly, I wondered if it was safe to sing the next part. Heh, do it anyways.
"Hypocrite, Lunatic Fanatic, heretic More and more you follow Your divorced reality"
I saw Akane trying to push her way through the ravers, before getting descended upon in a moshpit. Heh, let's see her handle THIS.
"You're trying to take me You're trying to make me This is the only Give me the only thing I'm tired of trying I'm tired of lying The only thing I understand is what I feel."
I delighted in seeing the brat being pushed around lie she was nothing, and noticed Chaos watching Akane as well. It would only be a matter of time...
"Hypocrite, lunatic, fantatic, heretic"
"RANMA!"
"You're trying to take me You're trying to make me This is the only Give me the only thing I'm tired of trying I'm tired of lying The only thing I understand is what I feel."
"RANMA NO BAKA!" I heard as I finished the song, and watched Akane starting to belt people out of her way. Frowning, I jumped over the group when the song finished, landed next to Chaos, and wrapped my arms around her.
After a brief peck on the lips, we were off like lightning, me carrying Chaos off as fast as I could. How was I to know... that I was going much too fast.

A/N: I'm not making the same mistake as with the start of this fanfic. Don't worry, if you don't see Book 2 - Part 1 after this, it will be up SOON. I'm working on it as you read this.
Enjoy!
