I Know: Part 3 of 3
    A Ranma 1/2 Fanfic

  Ranma and all associated characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi.

  "That's O.K. Ryoga, I have always known."  The molten steel of her 
voice burned my already strained heart. The sky darkens, fading to black 
as Akane shines with the light of an Angel.
  "What!?! How did yo.."
  "Ranma! Silence!" Her words thunder through the rain, striking with 
speed and vicious electricity.
  "You are a foolish to believe that I did not know." Gravity pulls me 
down with greater force. I barely manage to stand on my now four legs.
  "Did you really think that I could ignore your voyerism, pervert?" My 
rear legs collapse and I am forced to sit.
  "Unlike you, I am no fool. I saw through your facade within the first 
few days. I wanted you dead then. It would have been real easy, just let 
Kasumi cook you. Why did it take this simple act of God to show your true 
nature. Years it took you, and still you have no true courage." Now my 
front legs collapse. My heart flutters, and I cannot bring the strength 
to run. I must like being depressed.
  The sound of the rain deafens me, all that is left is the overwhelming 
rage of the one I love.
  "Being a pig turned you into a real pervert. Not that you looked at me 
like that as a man. Oh, no. That would not be seemly. You were such the 
perfect pet." Her sharp words flay my skin, and still I cannot leave this 
torture.
  "I first I thought you were a pig in mind while as a pig in body. That 
could have been the only reason you returned time and again."
  Sweet oblivion, take me please. This I can no longer bear.
  "You must have enjoyed the treatment, my little pet. You were exactly 
that, in all ways except thought. Even Ranma treated you better than I, 
no matter the names he called you."
  Damn this rain. It is cold, and I cannot feel. I know that my clothes 
are around here, but I cannot see them. Damn Ranma for this curse. Damn 
Ranma for turning Akane against me.
  Then it all went away.
  The only thing that floated back to me was the heavenly voice that 
burned my already black soul.
  "No more, Ryoga. I don't want to see you. You won't be fighting Ranma. 
Only you are responsible for the treatment that you have suffered."


  Blackness, I know it well. I want to stay here. I don't need to leave. 
I don't need to care. I don't want to hurt. I don't want to see Akane 
again.
  Hot! Water! NO!!!
  My eyes open, and I gaze upon Ranma. He is standing there still in 
those same clothes. He is wet, but at least he is covered.
  "Shi..Chi.."
  >wap<
  I blink at Ranma. He just stands there, cute as a girl can get. My 
anger is boiling over.
  Then I see her. The angel of light in my dark world. She was the one 
that hit me with the bucket.
  "Ryoga, if you wish to be treated as a rabid pig, continue the fight.
  "If you want to be treated as a man, act like one."

  Thanks all.
  This idea was running around my head for the longest time. I just had 
to release it otherwise my head would have exploded. :-)
  Yes, it has a dark feel. Then again, I have been feeling a little dark.
  
  Thank you for your time
