Ranma isn't mine and I do not intend to make money off of it...besides it is
pointless to sue me, I have no money.
Perspectives Part 1:
A Ranma � fanfic by Tracy Garnett AKA Crikit
The phone rings. Like always I let someone else answer it. It won't be him,
it never is�but still, I have to know. Standing up from my chair, I make my
way to the door and slowly open it. Kasumi is waiting at the bottom of the
stairs, just like she always is. Slowly she shakes her head no, still no
word.
It's been two months since my failed attempt to marry Ryoga, two months
since Ranma left and I found his note. Two months without a single word from
him, not a phone call, a letter�nothing. I know he's not in Nerima though,
I've looked everywhere for him, so have the others, and judging by their
reaction�I'm the only one he told about leaving.
Ukyo has been in some sort of depression since she discovered he left. It's
so bad that she won't even open the restaurant. I've tried to go over there
to see her, to talk to her, but I can't. I make it to the front door and
then I stop myself, what can I say to her? Hi Ukyo, sorry about driving
Ranma out of town, can we still be friends? She would kill me, not that I
blame her.
He left because of me. I know that, and I think she does to. She probably
knew all along the he would leave if he couldn't have me. Ranma never said
that he didn't love Ukyo, and he never said that he did�he more or less kept
his feelings for her secret, hidden from me and her. I'm not saying that
Ranma didn't love Ukyo, I'm just saying that�well that his feelings for her
weren't the ones that she wanted from him. She knows that now, actually it's
more like she's admitting that to herself now. Maybe in a couple of weeks
I'll have enough courage to face her, of course that is a big maybe.
While Ukyo is dealing with the loss of Ranma with depression, Shampoo is
dealing with it with violence. So far she has come over to the house
everyday, and so far she has tried to hurt one member of my family or the
other in some way. It has gotten so bad that we are seriously thinking of
calling the police, not that they would do any good. I understand that she's
mad at me, and I understand that she's doing what she thinks she has to do,
but what I can't understand is why she thinks that I know where Ranma is.
That's not true, I do know why she thinks that I know where Ranma is.
Cologne told me one day when she was apologizing for her granddaughter's
behavior. Apparently Shampoo thinks that we-by we I mean my family and I-
have hidden him somewhere, so that the others can't see him and that I can
take advantage of him without giving up my relationship with Ryoga. She's
sounding like Kodachi, who by the way is acting pretty much like her usual
self only a tad more homicidal.
No matter how each of us is dealing with Ranma's disappearance, we are all
asking the same question. Ranma where are you?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
'Dear Akane,'
No that isn't right.
'My beloved Akane,'
Definitely not, I sound like a bad imitation of Kuno
'Yo Akane,'
Who am I kidding? I've tried to start a letter to her hundreds of times, and
it never turns out. I either get stuck on the opening line, or, on the stuff
that comes after it. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I don't love her as much I
think I do�no that's not true, I love her more then I did when I left. It's
just telling her that's difficult.
I wonder, I wonder if she's happy right now, and what she's doing�I could
find out easily, all I have to do is pick up the phone and call her. If not
her one of the others, but no that's too risky they might tell Akane, or try
to find out where I am. Something I don't want at the moment, it's just too
hard to face them right now. Eventually I will have to, I know that much,
but well�I can't do it right now.
Writing or even phoning Ukyo is out of the question. What I have to say to
her is something that has to be said in person, face to face. It won't be
easy on either of us, but it will have to be done. The same goes with
Shampoo and Kodachi. Eventually I will have to face them all individually or
in a group and tell them what I've thought and felt all along. That I love
them- well two I love, the other one I'm just scared spitless of- but not
the way they want me to love them.
For me there's only one girl, and she's probably out on the town with her
new husband�
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ryoga came by today, he's been coming by everyday since the wedding. I think
he hopes that eventually I'll change my mind and want to marry him again. I
won't though. I've already made that decision. My heart belongs to Ranma.
I'm sure of that, what I'm not sure of is how to tell that to Ryoga.
Don't get me wrong, I do love Ryoga, and I always will. After all he was the
first guy who said that he liked my cooking-I think he said that because he
didn't want to hurt my feelings- and other, more personal things. But, I
loved Ranma at first sight, or pounding I guess would be the more
appropriate word here.
I will find Ranma, no matter what it takes I will find him, but first there
are a couple of other things I have to take care of. For starters, Ryoga, I
have to find him someone who will replace me in his heart. That might be an
impossible thing to do, but I will.
Next, I need a vacation, at least that's what Kasumi says, and I admit it
she's partially right. I do need to get out of Nerima for a couple of weeks,
to give myself a chance to collect my thoughts and sort through my feelings.
So, I've decided to take Kasumi's advice and go visit some relatives in
Canada for a few of weeks. It should be fun, I haven't seen them since I was
a little girl.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
'Dear Kasumi,
I suppose you are wondering why I am writing to you and not your sister.
Well for the simple fact that, I don't know what to say to your sister.
Truth be told, I don't know what to say to anyone, except that I left for a
reason. Listen Kasumi; you are the one person in Nerima that I feel that I
can trust completely, well you and Dr. Tofu. That's why I sent you this
letter. I want you to do me a favor, look out for your sister, and let me
know what she's up to stuff like that�in other words I want you to be my
spy. My current address is on the envelope, and also on the back of the
letter. In case you can't guess by it, I've made it to Canada. Don't know
how long I'll stay though. If I move I'll write to you and let you know.
Thanks for doing this Kasumi!
Ranma
P.S. Don't let Akane see the envelope, I don't want her to know where I am.'
