This one's realy short.  I got to a point and then realized I was stuck.  
Maybe I'll get inspired to redo it sometime later...maybe I'll just leave 
it short.  Oh well.  I'll post 4 tomarrow morning.

The characters in this fic are still Takahashi's, just like in the last 
two, only the same.

I guess its wrong to pretend I don't remember . . . . 
     . .. ...   ..its what pop would do . . . . I don't know . . . 
..sometimes right and wrong are broken . . . 
. . . and sometimes I don't want to do the right thing . . . it hurts . . . 
. . ..
     . . ...

...Akane would kill me if she thought I remembered her holding me . . . . 
keeping me out of trouble . . . but I do remember . . . . I remember it 
felt good to listen to her breathing . . . to hear her heart beat . . . 
it was like heaven . . . I know why Ryoga does it now . . . I wish I 
could lie there with her at night . . .
. .
 . .. . 
. .   . . . .
...poor little p-chan...he wanted everyone to believe his curse was so bad...
I wish Ryoga WOULD fall in a cooking pot!  That pervert!  Always 
getting me into trouble.... . .well...sometimes . ..

. . 
    . . . 
          . . . .

 . ..no I don't . ..

I wish he would find someone else to chase after. . ..  I wish .. ...Ryoga 
would quit hating me . ...  I wish  . . .

. . ... 
   . ...
 . . . .. .sometimes I wish Ryoga could be happy. .. ... maybe I'm 
coming down with something . . .. ..

 .. ... 
         . . ..
..sometimes I wish I could be happy . . . I wonder if Akane could ever 
really be happy with me . . . if we could really be the couple that 
everyone thinks we are . . . . . I wish I could . . .. . ... . . I wish . 
. ...sometimes . . ... .....if Shampoo and Ukyo could just see . . ...why 
couldn't things be easier. . . .. . why did everything have to go wrong ...
. . ..if I could keep from hurting them.. . .maybe if Ryoga and Ukyo 
could . . . work things out . . ....and Mousse. . .and. ..Shampoo. . .
but what about Kodachi... . ...how. ...what ...did she want with Akane...
And why . . ...why did Akane have to seem so interested.. ...it wasn't 
fair...Akane was supposed to end up with him....not some psycho in a 
leotard...
