Things
as they are by Yui Miyamoto
Ch.
1 - “Just Overlooking The Roof”
I
smiled as I sat down on our old tiled roof.I
patted the surface a little so that I could comfortably sit down and watch
what was going on down below.There
was always something, you know?Always
something happening in our house.
But
not right now.The neighborhood was
quiet for once and I just sat here with my hands hugging my knees.Nothing
too special.I just liked the breeze
flowing through the contours of my face and body.I
felt free, or rather more relieved than usual.I
could actually breathe with no one next to me and trying to attack me or
something of that kind.
I
glazed my hand lightly over the dark blue roof and gave a sad smile.There
was time to think now.My only time
to think. And I wondered how
in the world did I actually get time to myself and for myself.Not
attending to some stupid jerk’s injuries or getting kidnapped.
Always
getting into trouble:Kunou wants
to date me and his ‘pigtailed goddess’; Ranma getting jealous of P-chan;
not understanding what Ryouga wants to say to me; getting challenges from
Ukyou and Shampoo and that Black Rose.Sheesh,
that girl still gave me the chills.But
the list goes on and on.
And
in the end, Ranma’s to blame.Always
getting me into his troubles.
No,
maybe I wanted to be in trouble a little.Just
a little.Getting so worked up over
worrying that I make it my sworn mission to seek out where that baka was
or how he’s doing.I’d never admit
it though.No matter how many times
he says, “You’re jealous.”Well,
who would be?!Hee hee.Who
wouldn’t be?
There,
I started to laugh a little.Maybe
it wasn’t so bad.Maybe Ranma’s outbursts
and his ego were too much to handle; and maybe he does insult me all the
time.Well, it’s not like I don’t
do the same to him, but I’ve got a privilege!He
can be so stupid sometimes!No, make
that all the time…
…but
that’s just it.His stupidity gives
him rotten luck.And then he uses
his strength with some sort of borrowed shrewdness to find himself the
winner of every challenge.His stupidity
got him to do crazy things.
And
that’s when I begin to smile more.No
matter what, when it came right down to it, he always saved me.He
always protected me from any kind of danger.Though,
I always misinterpreted it into something hentai or shouted back with anger
in response to it.
Maybe
it wasn’t so bad having all the havoc in the house.There
was always something to do and something to see.It
wasn’t so bad having Ranma and his dad here after all.
I
began to wipe away a happy tear and laugh to myself.It
wasn’t so bad at all…
…because
even if I couldn’t go to sleep tonight, guess who just walked up to the
roof to see if I was okay?
Ranma
just stood a few feet away from me.I
looked behind of me to smile into his face.“Thanks,
Ranma.”
He
gave me this perturbed look and appeared as if he were going to slip.“You
okay?You’re acting weird.”
I
looked away and shook my head.Never
mind, Ranma.
This
is something you might always misunderstand about me if I told you.

Author’s
note:I don’t know where I’m going
with this fanfic.But I just wanted
to delve into a number of characters of the Ranma-verse and get a better
look at them.Originally, this was
supposed to be called, “Akane’s Mind”.But
then, I changed my mind because even if this is repetitive of many things
within Ranma ½, I wanted to really capture each character’s personality,
even briefly.
Any
suggestions or C and C?I’ll be happy
to hear them.Please write to ReiAkane_Enju@yahoo.com
or AinoTenshi1@hotmail.com

of the Ranma ½ character’s psyche.

is talking each time.* smile *
