Hello everybody. This is Panther Wong. This is the starting story of my
fanfic! Please send your C&C to this address! Thank you very much!
****************************
Is it better to have loved and lost,
or is it better to have never loved at all?
With the purest of hearts, I burn with the purest of hate!
For love turns to hate, Happiness turns to sorrow, and compassion turns
to pity.


	Ryouga was standing on top of a building. Before him, on ground
level, was Shampoo's restaurant. Ryouga noticed it, and figured he was
back in Tokyo, Nerima.
	"So, I'm back... after all this time... Maybe... this time, I
will be able to confess my love," Ryouga muttered to himself. 
	"RANMA NO BAKA!" Akane screamed, followed with a sound of a
mallet crushing someone's skull, Ranma's no doubt, and then the sound of
water splashing, most probably cold. 
	What followed that was Akane storming out of the restaurant, a
couple more crashes, Ranma yelling something in fear, then Ranma rushing
out of the restaurant, with a cat on his back, probably Shampoo-neko. The
Ranma-Shampoo-Neko combination ran past Akane, than around the block,
till Ranma passed out from either fear, exhaustion, or both. 
	"Oh, Akane..." Ryouga started "Could you ever love me?" 
	"Dammit," he thought, he knew he could never get the courage to
say that to her. He cursed at his shyness. His heart sank, and he sighed.
	"Akane... you're wasted on that creep." Ryouga said aloud, but
his words go by unnoticed, for he was on a roof, were as, nobody was on a
roof. Ryouga jumped off the building, and started to run from her, not to
her. "Maybe a little time away from you is all I need." he said.
	"Away from who?" Akane said, seeing Ryouga.
	"Huh?" Ryouga stopped. "Ahh... Hi!"  he tried not to blush. He
damned his sense of directions.
	"Hello! Oh, Ryouga, I haven't seen you in days. How have you
been?" Akane said.
	"I should just run away now" Ryouga thought, but he couldn't just
leave Akane. She wanted to talk. "Dammit all, what to do?" Ryouga cursed
himself, and faked a smile.
	"I've been training!" he said to Akane, deciding whether to call
her Akane-san, or Akane-Chan. He later dismissed the idea, and just
hadn't said her name.
	"I see." Akane smiled.
	"Uh... I brought you something, as always!" Ryouga said, trying
to keep their conversation going. (Why am I doing this? I thought I
wanted to get away from her!) Ryouga felt like smashing his head into the
street. He decided he'll do that later. 
	"Oh, you didn't have to!" Akane said, still smiling.
	"I just want to see you smile. That;that's all" He thought, as if
Akane could read his mind.
	 Ryouga thought to himself... "This is it... this is the day I
shall tell Akane! TODAY IS THE DAY THAT I CONFESS MY LOVE TO AKANE!!"
Ryouga said to himself, hoping to get over his nervousness. "This is
it... I shall pour out my heart to you!" 
	"Akane!" He said to her.
	"Yes, Ryouga," she smiled.
	"I... I..." Ryouga stuttered. (Come on say it! Say you love her!)
	"Yes Ryouga?" Akane looked a bit perplexed.
	"I was just wondering how has things been?" Ryouga said really
fast. (Stupid!) Ryouga thought to himself.
	"Well, things have been fine!" Akane said cheerfully.
	Ryouga sighed. Akane saw something was wrong with her friend.
	"What's the matter Ryouga-kung?" Akane asked.
	"Uh..." Ryouga began. (Now Pig-boy. This is your chance! Tell her
what's in your heart!)
	*	*	*
	"Akane... I've loved you since we first met..." Ryouga said,
holding her hand, not looking at her gaze. His eyes were hidden by his
hair, but the tears flowed down his cheeks.
	"Oh, Ryouga... I love you too," Akane said with her soothing
voice.
	"Oh, Akane!" Ryouga hugged her. She hugged back.
	Then Ranma appeared from nowhere. "Akane!" He said.
	"Go away!" Ryouga punched Ranma, and the pig tailed boy was out
like a light.
	"HAHAHAHAHA!!!" Ryouga laughed over the fallen opponent, and
Akane placed her head on his chest.
	*	*	*
	Ryouga slapped himself in the head. "Stupid!" He said to himself.
	"What's the matter?" Akane asked.
	"Uh... nothing! I'm just fine!" Ryouga forced a laugh. 
	"You know Ryouga..." Akane paused. "Ah... well, when you're ready
to tell me, remember you have a friend who will always be there for you."
Akane said. 
	Ryouga stopped laughing. He looked at her. Akane stared back.
	"My god..." Akane said to herself. "His eyes are filled with such
sadness. I hope one day he over comes what ever is bothering him."
	"Ryouga, I better go home now. It's getting late," Akane said to
Ryouga.
	"Oh..." Ryouga waved. "Bye..."
	Akane started to walk away. 
	"Akane..." Ryouga called out. 
	Akane turned around, she tried to look at Ryouga's head, but his
head was slightly bowed, and his hair was no over his eyes, but she could
see the tears that ran down his cheeks, and dropped to the ground. 
	"AKANE! I LOVE YOU!" Ryouga yelled, taking all his energy. 
	Akane gasped. "Oh, Ryouga..." 
	Ryouga continued. Once he started, he can't stop. "Since the
first time we met, I wanted to tell you how I felt. I feel that Ranma
doesn't deserve to be your fiancee. You deserve better Akane!"
	Akane walked to him, and then held his hand.
	"Ryouga... I'm sorry. But even thought Ranma is a jerk at times,
he is also a wonderful person" Akane said to him.	
	That didn't stop the tears. Deep down, he knew Akane was in love
with Ranma, but he would never allow himself to say it. 
	"I know you loved him... I'm sorry," Ryouga pulled his hand away
from Akane, and started to run. He didn't care where, but anywhere from
this place. This district, known as Nerima. 
	"Ryouga, wait!" Akane called out to him. She began to try to run
after him, but he was long gone. She sighed, as she turned around to walk
home. She saw Ryouga running right at her. 
	"What the?" Akane had a huge sweat drop on her head.
	Ryouga stopped. He looked at Akane, than gasped, than ran the
other way. 
	"Ryouga..." She said, with her hand on her heart. 
	*	*	*
	Akane got back to the Tendo dojo. She began to wonder if what she
did was right. She went straight to her room, to think. As she opened her
door, she hoped P-Chan would be there to comfort her. But like Ryouga, he
always seems to be somewhere else whenever she needs him. She sat in
front of her desk, and looked out the window which held the view of the
backyard. She decided a good way to get her mind off this was to read a
couple of books. 
	*	*	*
	Ryouga was running loose in Tokyo. He tried to choke his tears
back, but they flowed freely. He decided that he will not return to
Nerima, if he could help it. For as long as he loves Akane, he cannot
return. 
	Ryouga was trying so hard to get Akane out of his mind. He can't
remember how many days had past, but he noticed he wasn't in Nerima
anymore. He noticed a high school. It wasn't Furienkan High. It was
Juuban High School. 
	"Where am I now?" He said before collapsing. 
	Note from Author:
	Okay... I know Sailor Moon is only in middle school, but I needed
to past the years. So in my version, Sailor Moon is now in high school.
Okay... is that it? Oh yeah... Disclaimer! Don't sue me, or I'll bite
you! I don't own any of these characters, so lay off! Ranma and friends
is the creation of Rumiko Takahshi.  Have a nice day!
