Ranma 1\2: separation anxiety part 6

	Ranma looked out over the rooves of Nerima sternly watching the people go
about their evening buisiness with an almost desparate gaze. She felt her
heart beat as she began her kata alone on the roof. The moves flowed smoothly
as tears ran down her face. "Damn him." she growled. "Can't he see that she
loves him?" she said angrily. "Ironic words." said a  familiar voice from
behind her. She composed herself quickly. "Taro." said Ranma turning to face
him. Taro arogantly stood against a wall nearby and smiled at her. "Looks like
you put yourself in quite a position." he said smiling maliciously. 

	"What do you want?" growled Ranma angrily. "Happosai." he said plainly. "He
ain't here." said Ranma bitterly. "I know, but a funny thing happened when I
was looking for him, I found more than one of you." said Taro. "So, you gonna
attack me or not?" said Ranma getting into a defensive stance. "Not today. It
isn't honorable to hit women remember?" said Taro as he lept away laughing.
"Pantyhose You bastard!" yelled Ranma. Taro turned and laughed again "See you
fem-bo...Wait thats not right is it?" Pantyhose Taro vanished into the night,
his laughter lingered in Ranma's torn mind. 

	Ranma tore around the alleys of Nerima looking for Taro but he was gone.
"I'll kill him." she growled falling to her knees in an alley after and hour
of searching. "Well look what we found." said a mocking voice from behind her.
She felt hands on her body from behind. "You lost little girl?" said another
voice as a hand sqeezed her breast. Ranma's vision blirred as she put her hand
through the wall next to her. "Oh jesus!" said one of the punks as he ran for
the street. "No escape." said Ranma as she felt the Ki gather in her hands.
Her vision went red and then blackness...

	"Oh hello can I help you?" said Kasumi to the girls at the door. "Were here
to see Ranchan and Akane." said one of the girls. "We were supposed to go with
her and Akane to see a movie tonight." said another one. "Well Akane is here
but Ranchan is out I'm afraid." said Kasumi. Mousse entered behind the girls.
"Why hello Mousse what bring's you here?" asked Kasumi. "I brought these for
Ranma." he said  indicating some old looking scrolls in his hands. "I'm sure
he'll be glad." said Kasumi turning him away from the wall to face her. "The
other Ranma." he said adjusting his glasses. "Other Ranma?" asked one of the
girls. "Ranma's sister is also called Ranma ... in Chinese I mean." said
Mousse nervously after realising his mistake. The girls imediately accepted
the exsplanation. Suddenly an exsplosion Shook the home. "Ryoga." said Mousse
after things settled "That was near the Cat Cafe'! If you've hurt my Shampoo
Hibiki.....!" and with that ran off into the night.

	Akane looked out the window at the pond in her yard. Ranma's girl side was
acting strangely lately she seemed to obsess in her training and was always
reading those scrolls Mousse brought over. "Are they secret tecneiques?" she
wondered.Suddenly an exsplosion shook her off the bed. "Ryoga?" she said
recognising the distinctve sound of a Shi shi houkou dan.

	Ukyo walked out of her restaraunt into the street with an Okonomiyaki box in
her arms. "Ranchan will love this." she told herself as she walked toward the
Tendo Dojo. A massive blast of green energy blasted from near the Cat cafe.
"Ryoga you jerk if you damage my restarant...!" she yelled heading towards the
blast.

	Ranma woke in the Tendo living room almost three hours later. "What
happened?" she said looking at the people around him. "I'll tell you what
happened you almost killed three people." said Mousse looking at her coolly.
"What?" Cried Ranma siting upright only to collapse again. "Relax they
attacked you." said Ukyo. "Me and Konji pulled you off them before you killed
them. They confessed to the asault the moment they regained consiousness at
the hospital an hour later." said Mousse. "You...helped me?" said Ranma
looking at Mousse. Mousse looked slightly anoyed. "You are a part of my tribe
now." he reminded her shoveing the scrolls in her face. "Uhhh thanks." said
Ranma takeing them timmidly.

	 "What?" said Ukyo looking at him in shock. "You didn't know Cologne adopted
Ranma into the tribe?" asked Mousse. Ukyo shook her head. "What are those?"
asked Akane pointing to the scrolls. "Seacret amazon tecneiques or something?"
asked Ukyo. "Those are flowers aren't they?" asked Mousse looking at a vase of
plants in the middle of the table. Ranma looked at them with an amused look.
"Is an ancient secret of 3000 year old Chinese history, ancient deadly art..."
said Ranma in her best Shampoo voice. The two girls leaned closer to her.
Mousse smiled at them. "Yes very deadly ancient Chinese art of 'How to read
Chinese'." he finished for Ranma. The girls fell on their faces as Mousse
laughed at them. "Aw your no fun." grummbled Ranma. The girls chased her
around for a moment before she fell to the ground again from exaustion from
the incident earlier. "Are you Ok Ranma?" asked Ukyo after the grils beat on
her for a moment for her joke. "Just fine." slurred Ranma.

	A while later Ranma came down the stairs and the usuall thing happened.
Ranchan watched for a moment and went outside away from the racket. She sighed
and forced herself not to look at her one time life. "Whats with her?" asked
Ranma a few minutes later after he pulled himself out from under the table. He
looked as Ranma watched the stars from the wall of the Tendo home. "Ranma."
said Akane quietly instantly forgetting her argument with Ukyo who was also
wathcing Ranma silently.

	Ranma looked up at the sky trying to find the peace it gave her in her
younger days traveling with her father. Back when she was a man. "I here you
spend alot of time out here now." said Ukyo from beside him. "Clears my head."
said Ranma emotionlessly. "Well, now you know what its like being on this side
of the wall." said Ukyo. "If you ever need to talk Ranchan." said Ukyo. Ranma
sat down "Thanks Ucchan but I need to be alone for a while." said Ranma. "I
understand all to well." she said and left her alone on the wall with her
thoughts. "Ucchan?" said Ranma looking at her oldest freind walk home.

	Ryoga Hibiki looked out over the town with a grim smile. "Nerima at last!
Tomorrow Ranma you pay for your crimes." she smiled. 
"Prepair to meet your destiny Saotome!" he shouted over the hills between him
and the rooftops. "Hey quit yellin'" said a voice from below. "Hey its that
guy again!" said another voice. "This is Nayoga fool!" called another voice.
"Oh,... sorry." said Ryoga and he walked away.

	Ranma woke the next day and dressed for school in his usuall manner.  "Hurry
up Ranma we're gonna be late." growled Akane as she drug him out of the room
after splashing him with cold water. Ranma grummbled and walked toward the
bath. "Ranma we don't have time for that." called Nabiki. "Oops sorry old
habbit." said Ranma sheepishly. Ran-chan appeared before him with a dark look
in her eyes. "Lets go." she said and drug him along with Akane. Akane was
clearly unerved by this but said nothing. 

	"What's been bugging you?" asked Ranma on the way to school. Ran-chan turned
and glared at him. "What do you think?" she growled grabbing him by his shirt.
"I have been through hell thanks to you." she said looking in his eyes. "You
sound like Ryoga." muttered Ranma shaking her off. "I'm starting to understand
how he feels about you." said Ran-chan as she turned away. "I just don't get
it." said Ranma. Ran-chan turned and staired down Ranma down worse than Akane
ever had. Ranma backed away nervously. "Do you remember how you felt when Herb
turned us into a girl?" she asked him calmly. Ranma nodded carefully.
"Multiply that by about a hundred and you get what I'm feeling. Its bad enough
I have to be a girl with no hope of ever turning back again but I have to see
you living my life as well." she growled. "I'm sorry..." stuttered Ranma.
"Don't apologise." said Ran-chan coldly.

	 "Ranma thats enough." said Akane grabbing her shoulder. Ran-chan shoved it
away. "No its not dammit! don't you get it? Your the worst of all! Don't you
understand were the same person?!" said Ran-chan. "Yes." said Akane looking at
her softly. "NO you don't! I'm still him inside I still love you you stupid
bitch!" screamed Ran-chan. Akane backed away with a look of horror in her
eyes. "Thats right, love. I have to watch this moron stumble and fight with
you because he is too stupid or proud to admit it. I have to watch as he
repetedly hurts torments and gets beaten by you. I have,to watch my best
freind walk away heart broken' because in her heart she knows he'll never love
her the same way she loves him, even though all it would take is words to end
her torment. You come to me as if I was a different person alow me to see
things I never knew I was responcible for! All the pain I never knew I caused.
All this and I should act like nothings happened to me? Akane you will never
know what I've been through in the past few weeks. Ranma will never be able to
hide his feelings because of pride or stupidity from you ever again!" Ran-chan
went from shouts to tears as she bore her soul to all of Nerima passing by. 

	Ranma looked at her in horror. Akane cried as Ran-chan turned away and went
on towards the gates of Furinkan. "R-ranma..." she sobbed as she ran into
Ranma's arms. He looked at her for a moment and embraced her. "Akane." was all
he could say.

	Later that day Ranma walked towards his home and thought about what had been
said to him that morning. He and Akane both had been repremanded for their
inatention that day. "Your going to tell her tonight." said a voice from
behind him. "Both of them." said Ran-chan as he turned to face her. "What?"
asked Ranma. "Your going to admit to Ukyo and Shampoo that you love Akane and
will never ever have a relationship with either of them." said Ran-chan
coldly. "What?!!" said Ranma in shock. "No buts, your going to do it." said
Ran-chan. "Are you insane?" asked Ranma backing away. "Not yet but if I have
to see the way they look at you when they know there is really  no hope again
I will be. You tell them tonight." said Ran-chan. "No way!" said Ranma.
"Dammit your hurting them more than you'll ever realise by keeping them in the
dark you jerk." yelled Ran-chan. "Keep it down." said Ranma trying to shush
her. Ran-chan nimbly backed away. "Ranma I know what your thinking, Yes,
You'll hurt them, but you haven't seen them like I have, what your doing now
hurts them more than you realise." said Ran-chan quietly looking saddly at her
counter part. "I..I.." stuttered Ranma. "You won't be alone Ranma, I'll be
there with you. I am just as responcible." she said quietly. Ranma sighed
heavily and smile weakly. "Alright you win." he said. "Good." said Ran-chan
with her first smile in days. "What happened any way?" asked Ranma looking at
her oddly. "Huh?" asked Ran-chan."I don't remember being quite so..." Ranma
struggled with the word not finding one that fit what he wanted to say. "I
guess I've though about it alot lately. You will never have any Idea what I've
been through." said Ran-chan. "I guess I look at life alot more seriously
now." she said walking on.
