Hey! Someone give me a title for this thing....
And yes, I know the "...."ing is accessive...
And the spelling is off in a few places...
So... Tell me what you think!
CRAKKKK!
Tatewaki Kunou awoke with a start... A noise the last memory of his dream....
He got out of bed... His clock read 5:58..... Not yet time to get up....
No matter... This morning he felt great!
As he headed into the bathroom, he pondered his dream...
It wasn't often he could remember his dreams, usually, he'd hazily get up to
the smell of whatever was cooking downstairs for breakfast and shake everything
out of his head...
This time was different....
This time, he could remember the sights and sounds of his dream...
Lighting... Background noises... He could describe everyone of them to anyone...
Not that it was a bad dream... No way.. Not for the Blue Thunder of Furinkin
High!
He'd just won the kendo international championship by defeating his last
opponent,
Ranma Saotome....
His prize? A trophy, riches, or his own dojo? Nope... His prize was to be the
suitor of Akane Tendo....
He was happy as anyone could be... Well.. That is until his pigtailed
mistress learned
of this...
He laughed at the dream because his last memory was the pigtailed goddess
breaking
the awards table on his head....
How great it was to be him....
A while later, during a walk through the park, he happened upon Akane out
for her
morning jog....
"Tendo Akane!" He called, noticing her before she knew he was near.. "How
are you
this fine morning?"
She turned to see him smiling at her... He seemed happy and she didn't want to
ruin his morning with a bad comment......
"Fine, Kunou... Just fine... And how about you?"
"Ah! Words cannot describe my happiness toda..."
He came out of his self-absorbed haze to see her backing away from him...
"She must be eager to get home, perhaps to fix herself up presentably for an
afternoon date...." He thought...
"I shall let you go on, fair goddess.... Have a good morning... See you later.."
She turned away and prepared to start a strong sprint home... She didn't need
him bothering her any further....
Without a word, she began a jog before noticing that she'd backed herself
into the
middle of the street....
"Oh god no..." Were her last thoughts.... Then she was struck by a car...
Kunou turned around just in time to hear the screech of tires...
The horrible part was that he saw her get hit head on.... The image burned
into his mind
Her slender body had hit the grill of the car, then flipped onto the hood and
shattered the windshield.... The car halted to a stop, and as she skidded off
and met the pavement with amazing force, her face was frozen in horror...
Kunou couldn't believe it.... As he rushed over to Akane, she just laid there...
Eyes open, staring into nothingness, nose broken, teeth chipped and jaw laying
open allowing a small rivulet of blood to flow free....
As he cradled her in his arms, trying to find some vital sign, he realized only
one thing....
She had passed on from this world onto the next because of him....
If he hadn't've there, she wouldn't've run away....
And he wouldn't be here, clutching the bloody figure in his arms, sobbing and
cursing his own pig-headedness....
Part 2
Kunou sat uncomfortably in the hard plastic chair, his eyes bloodshot with
tears of grief...
"If it hadn't've been for me....."
He looked around the cold, clean waiting room here in the emergency ward of
Nerima's hospital...
Around him sat Akane's friends and family, he felt out of place here....
Ranma Saotome, his long time foe, surprisingly didn't scorn his incompotence,
but at the same time didn't try to offer moral sopport.... Saotome just sat
there,
looking straight ahead at the wall...
Akane's sisters, Kasumi and Nabiki were crying themselves in worry while trying
to calm the hysterical Soun who had tried to take his own life...
Genma Saotome and Ryouga Hibiki just glared at him... Their cold eyes cutting
an icy path into his soul while Shampoo and Ukyou tore at his emotions with
their insults and screams of anger....
He couldn't stand this.....
And he snapped when Akane's doctor came in along with Dr. Tofu, their solemn
looks gave away the terrible news....
"Ak... Akane... she...."
"Mr. Tendo.... I'm sorry....."
That was the last thing Kunou could remember clearly....
He knew that he had screamed, and ran until he collapsed into unconsiousness...
And the rest of the family had been too torn to notice him leave...
Now he found himself lying beside the road... Some suburb, he guessed... A
streetlamp hung above him, covering him in it's amber light....
For some reason, his arm was bloody and when he rolled up his sleeve, he found
that somewhere he'd attained a large gash down from his wrist to his forarm...
Gravel and dirt clung to the injury, he figured he must've run into something
and fell down, skidding a fair way....
At least, that's how he could remember it....
Now, all he could think about was Akane... He didn't care that he didn't know
where he was, or how he got here....
He just was filled with so much emotional pain....
That was until he realized the trouble he was in...
Kunou picked himself off the ground and looked around half-heartedly...
He was in the suburbs of some city.... It seemed to be early morning, around
5:30-6 AM... And he hurt all over... Kunou wasn't sure what would face
him when he arrived home, so he started walking towards the mountains...
It wasn't long until he came across a cheap cafe... For the last half an
hour he had been walking, caked in blood and dirt... He took this opportunity
to clean up and get something to eat....
After making himself presentable in the filthy men's room, he sat down at the
counter and ordered himself a suitable breakfast.... Upon being served, the
waitress, a girl no older than he was seemed concerned at his appearant
plight...
"Something wrong?" She asked, showing definate interest in her voice....
"Wha? Oh... You could say that..." Kunou said.... He didn't even look up, only
staring into the black well of coffee he was given...
"Well," She replied, glancing around the empty cafe... "You look like you need
someone to talk to... And I'm the right person for the job...."
Kunou looked up, gazing into her deep brown eyes... They reminded him so
much of
Akane's....
"I-I killed someone...." He spoke, after a moment...
The waitress looked a little uneasy... "What?"
For the next few minutes, Kunou related the entire story to the girl behind the
counter... When it was over, she stared at him, tears in her eyes...
"It's not your fault...."
"I wish I could believe that..." He managed to sob out....
"You couldn't've known.... It-"
"She was the only reason I had for living, you know...."
"Now that's not true!"
"One day, when I was 15, I almost committed suicide..."
"....."
"I'd thought it over, and decided that my life was an empty valley filled with
short streams of joy here and there... So I went to the docks...."
Kunou stopped for a second, took a sip of coffee, and continued....
"I was going to go for a swim... and not come out.... it was the easiest way to
go for me.... Just as I was about to jump, I'd heard her singing..."
"Singing? At a dock?"
"Yeah... She was fishing... Akane always liked being independant and free, so
she became one of the best fighters at our school... Mind you, not too
feminine..."
A tear fell from his cheek to the counter....
"I think that's what attracted me to her...."
"S-so virtous... and now gone...."
"I hid my real feelings in arrogance and simple-minded poetry."
"Kunou Tatewaki, age 17... The infamous Blue Thunder of Furinkin high."
"If I could've only told her how I really felt...."
Tears began to spill from Kunou's face.... He dropped a bill on the counter
for the coffee... He didn't care what the amount was...
He ran from the cafe, leaving the waitress dumbfounded, Tatewaki Kunou would
head to the mountains that day.... Nothing getting in his way....
No... This isn't the end.... I still have 2 more parts to write....
