Men Never Cry

By Miguel Cereminati.

Special thanks to Neil Robertson

Nerima's Cemetery

It was raining. Ranma was standing in front of a grave. He hadn't
moved for an

hour. He was surrounded by a large group of people, all dressed in
black.

Everyone stared at him in sorrow. Some were there because they wanted
to be,

some because they had a kind of a tie, others because they had to be.
Little by

little, people started to leave. The group was smaller as time went
by. In the

end, there was only Ranma. All by himself. It was him and the grave.

It had been three years since Ranma had arrived at the Tendo Dojo;
three years

since his life had starting making sense, three years of real
happiness. It's

dreadful how three years can disappear in a second.

Ranma was known in Nerima as the strongest man of all; as the man who
never

gave up, as the man who couldn't be defeated... as the man who never
cried.

Ranma kneeled, took a flower out of his coat, and left it in front of
the

grave. In front of Akane's grave. The man who could never be defeated
couldn't

defeat destiny. And that day... a man did cry.

The end

Author's note:

Well, this is my second fanfic. The previous one was "A Perfect Life
(2000)."

If you want it, just ask me and I'll send it to you. Please, I've just
started

my career as a fanfic writer, so I would really appreciate if you
could tell me

what you think. Thanks.
