Disclaimer: Aside from Rumiko Takahashi-sama and Viz Video, the list of people with rights to Ranma 1/2 escapes me at the moment. However, I can say with full and utter certainty that MY name is NOT on said list.
He arrives shortly after midnight, and I can feel his anger before he makes it through the door.
"Why?" he asks me "Why did you do it?"
It's obvious that the question is rhetorical, so I keep my silence. I simply stand there and wait for him to continue.
His anger is a palpable thing, yet a part of me knows that it is forced. I know his heart and I know he cannot remain this angry with me for long, so I simply wait out the storm.
"Did it ever occur to you that I might have wanted the wedding to happen? Did you even think about what you were doing? I thought we had agreed that it had to happen this way!"
He is stalking now, like a caged beast, back and forth, yet his shell is slowly cracking, as anger becomes exasperation.
Finally he stops and looks me in the eye
"Why?" he shakes his head sadly for a moment "Why do I put up with you?"
He cuts me off before I can answer "I know, trust me, with all the magic that surrounds my life, I know. Of all the spells to work, it would just have to be you."
His pacing begins again, this time he circles me, like a jungle cat closing in for the kill. Then I feel him, and though I try my best, I cannot help but flinch as his arms encircle me. This of course is the worst thing to do.
I feel his tension as he steps away from me, as I turn to say something, anything, I am frozen by the pain in his eyes. Then he smiles, trying to reasure me, and reaches for the thermos on his belt. I try to stop him, try to tell him anything, tell him doesnt have to, that I will try to accept him though my soul rebels at the concept. He simply smiles again, placing two fingers against my lips to silence me.
"It's okay" he lies "I understand"
Then the cap is off, the water poured and she stands before me. The flame haired vixen that has haunted my dreams these past two years. No matter how often I see it, the transformation still amazes me... And depresses me. Gone is the cocky smile and flashing eyes, replaced with a contenance so demure that even Kasumi pales in comparison.
She looks at me for a moment, then sighs "You know what the worst part is?"
As I shake my head, she continues "I was actually relieved that you came, a part of me wanted you to stop it. I mean, I care about the tomboy and all, but, as soon as I saw you, I knew the whole thing was wrong. I couldent go through with it."
Her smile lights up the room as she looks at me again, then slowly fades as everything begins to catch up to her, as her eyes begin to shine with unshed tears. "Their not going to let it go you know" she struggles for control as her voice begins to choke "They wont ever let it go, those two old fools have placed all of their hopes and dreams on joining the schools and they never let me forget it!"
Her control is slowly breaking as her fists, her tiny little fists that are capable of shattering stone begin to drum on my chest. "Do you have any idea how hard it is? I see you every day, every day I walk past you next to HER! I love you, and I cant say a word! I cant reach out to you, to hold you..."
I look at what my foolish desire has wrought and as her control finally crumbles leaving her collapsed in my arms and I curse myself for a fool.
Moreso, I also curse the fates that put me in the proper place to draw that thrice damned blade. But most of all, I curse the pain I caused, the day I wished for the love of the pigtailed girl.

Sorry, just an idea that would not let me go.
