Episode 03: Separated Life

Ryoga pushed her hard and Sanma fell down to the ground, as surprised as Ranma and Akane. Why? Why did Ryoga pushed her like… as if she was no one? Ranma was enraged and looked at Ryoga, “Ryoga, what are you doing?”

Ryoga looked up deadly at Ranma, “Thzat’s my objective! She’s just an annoyance in my life.” Sanma’s eyes widened as her heart beat twice. She looked directly at Ryoga, “Please… Look at me, Ryoga…” Ryoga avoided eye contact from her. Sanma felt abandoned and hated.

Ryoga had a wicked grin, “I don’t need her, I don’t have feelings for her, and most of all I hate her existence!” He yelled out loud and Sanma felt the rose in her heart broke into two, even her sight. She felt like she was falling to a bottomless pit of hell.

Ranma clenched his fingers and cracks were heard. Ryoga’s eyes grew wider surprised a minute later and moved one step back looking at Sanma; his current love, was confused and heartbroken on the floor. He had sweat drops all over him, worried. “Sanma-chan… I…” He wanted to apologize but before he could move closer, Ranma strode over to him and angrily grabbed him by the collar, pushing him up. Ranma had never been so enraged in his life. His eyes were sharp. “Ranma?”

“How dare you say that to her?” He punched directly on Ryoga’s nose, “You ugly pig-headed son of bich!” Sanma’s eyes were trembling, she felt her tongue was tied-up and Akane immediately comforted her, who wasn’t listening to her at all. She could only see her brother beating Ryoga angrily. She reached out her shaky right arm and called Ryoga from afar but some reason the voices inside her couldn’t be said out. Tears began streaming down her eyes. She was shaking hard, soon after her pupils failed her sight, they became blurry. Her lips were moving slowly and immediately she shut her eyes, screaming.

“Stop that!!” Her voice was weak and different than always. Everyone paused and looked at the upset and depressed girl on the ground. Her eyes were still shuttering and her fingers were stretching out. “Stop it, onii-chan…” Her right arm dropped down on the floor and tried to stand up.

“Sanma-chan?” Akane moved forward to help her but Sanma refused her caring hands. Ranma turned and a quarter of his angry face was seen, “Why should I? He hurt someone he said he love a thousand times!” His eyes were still sharp; Sanma was usually feared this but because of the unknown feeling in her at the moment, she didn’t felt terrified. She only felt her life just scattered. “Wake up, Sanma!” Ranma looked at Ryoga again, “He had never been loyal.”

“Onii-chan…” Sanma’s hand landed on her brother’s back after walking weakly and slowly towards Ranma, “Ryoga… Ryoga is the second man I love in this world…” Her voice kept breaking in between, because of the shock she experienced few minutes ago. Ryoga’s eyes looked down at Sanma with trembling eyes. Why was he so brainless to the words he just shot to her? “Other than Yamato, he is also the one I love and valuable in my life…” She showed up a smile, still with streaming of tears under her eyes, “So please, if he was disloyal to me all along then, leave him be.”

“Sanma…” Ranma looked at his twin sister with his eyes wide. He calmed down when Akane agreed from behind, and dropped Ryoga down on the ground. “I don’t want to see your face again, Pig,” He turned pissed, “If I see you around my sister or around the Tendo, I’ll kill you!” Ryoga was speechless and heard Ranma grabbed on Sanma’s wrist tight. “Let’s go, Sanma! Leave him alone…” Sanma’s eyes narrowed down looking at her second love, she had been with Ryoga for three whole years, after what happened at Yamato’s grave, Ryoga was destined to be and loyal to her. That current incident cannot be reality!

“Sanma!” Ranma’s voice was louder and there were more tears streaming down on her cheek.

“Ryoga, I trust you love me those sweet 3 years and I will not forget it… because I will always love you!” Ranma pulled her stronger and she screamed, “Ryoga-kun!!” She screamed.

Akane entered the living room and sat down on the floor. She faced Ranma with an upset look, “Ranma, should you at least let her see Ryoga? You know how much-!” Ranma stopped her, no matter how much Akane persuade him to help Sanma to see Ryoga, Ranma would never let that Ryoga see nor touch his twin sister anymore, for what he had said, Ranma bound to let them separate even though his twin sister still loves him. Sanma had been in her room for the past one week without eating or attending school. She kept sitting on her bed, unwilling to move or do anything fun she used and loved to do. There were dark lines under her eyes indicating she haven’t had her sleep in such long time, in addition her face was never been as pale as on that time.

“Ryoga is the ‘only’ cure for her and if you let them apart, Sanma would never have the chance to be healed fully!” Akane said out loud with her legs wide firmly on the floor, “I know I am as angry as you with the words Ryoga said to her but for the sake of Sanma, please…” She dropped down to her knees, exhausted of trying to convince Ranma.

The family had been quiet unwilling to say anything because of Ranma’s stubbornness even his parents. Nadoka was disappointed with Ryouga’s actions. To her, at least, Ryoga was actually sincere. She couldn’t convince her son like Akane. Kasumi served that afternoon tea, “It’s a nice day today.” She smiled but the atmosphere was dead silent. She looked at each gloomy faces in the house. “Thank you, Kasumi!” Only Nadoka said a word. Nabiki was nowhere in sight. The two fathers nodded, they weren’t even playing chess. Ranma’s face still looked angry. Akane looked at him. It has been weeks since what happened.

“Sanma-chan!!” The old man Happosai screamed from the attic and everyone looked surprised. Immediately, Ranma ran up to the attic just to find out Happosai was pointing unmoving Sanma on the bed with a stick, “Sanma? Are you still alive?”

Ranma punched the perverted old man and he screamed as he hit the roof and outside the neighborhood, “Of course she’s still alive, you perverted old man.”

Akane walked over to Sanma and tried to wake her up, “Sanma- Sanma-?” The untouched food on the left table was surrounded by flies. Akane checked her neck for her pulse. Her eyes immediately grew wide, “What the-?” Ranma turned, “What’s wrong, Akane?”

“Sanma-chan”, Sanma saw the cute smiling face Ryoga. Sanma smiled wide and ran over towards him. “Ryoga! Ryoga!” For some reason, even though she was running she could not reach him at all. “Please don’t leave me!”

“I don’t need you, I hate your existence!” Ryoga said out to her directly with eyes filled with retaliation. Sanma stopped and her eyes grew wide, tears began to stream down. “Ryo—ga…” She slowly said, “Tell me that it isn’t true…” She smiled and giggled silently, “Tell me your just joking around.” Ryoga showed his back at her and was walking slowly away from her. “Ryoga!!” She reached out her hand towards the unreachable Ryoga.

“Ryoga…” Sanma’s sight was blur and it slowly becoming clearer. “Where am I?” She raised her right arm and massaged her head, “Arggh… my head hurts…” She sat up and moved her head around that sounds of her skull was heard. “How long did I sleep anyway?” Suddenly, her stomach began to grumble, she sweat dropped, “How long didn’t I eat anyway?” She began to giggle on her own. She snapped and looked around her. She was at Tofu’s clinic. “Darn that Ryoga! Shouldn’t he be around me when I am sick?” She pouted and got off from the bed.

“It’s a good thing it is not critical,” Sanma stopped near the door as she heard Doctor Tofu was discussing with her brother and Akane outside the room. “It’s all that pig’s fault!” Ranma said out loud angrily and punched the wall.

Sanma snapped and looked down, her mind away. “Oh… I almost forgot… Ryoga and my engagement were broken off…” She had a slight smile, “I am so stupid!”

Tofu read Sanma’s medical reports and pushed his specs, “Ranma-kun, I have bad news for you…” Both Ranma and Akane looked at him quite impatient. “Sanma’s disease is returning back!”

“What?” Ranma snapped over, “How that can be? I mean, Ryoga supposed to cured her half-way.” He couldn’t accept the fact. It was sure that Sanma was half-cured and soon to be fully cured.

Tofu looked seriously at them, “Because of the shock Sanma received and in addition, the cure for her is no more with her!” He tried to find a book about Sanma’s uncured diseases, “It is high possibility the cure will return to her!”

“I never ask this before,” Akane pointed and the two looked at her, “What is Sanma’s diseases anyway? It doesn’t look like it was inherited or is infectious. Both Ranma’s parents are healthy. How did Sanma got that disease?”

“Ara-“ Tofu looked innocent, “Haven’t Saotome-san told you?”

“Told me what?” Ranma looked irritated, somehow he knew something happened.

“That when Sanma was a baby, Saotome-san brought her somewhere to train mistakenly thought she was the male baby,” Tofu pointed up innocently and veins began to pop out from Ranma’s fists, “But eventually returned as he found out the he brought the wrong baby.”

“That sounds Saotome-san all right,” Akane sweat dropped and mushroom breathed, “What else can he bring problems to his children anyway?”

Sanma began to look irritated, “No wonder every time I ask what’s wrong with me, Father always changed to Panda.” Sanma tsked alone and jumped out the window.

“Anyway Ranma-kun,” Tofu called seriously again, “You need to find ‘a’ cure for her. Sanma doesn’t have enough time.” Ranma looked at him and nodded in agreement.

Ryoga was sitting in the middle of the street, worried and thinking. He was so stupid, he thought to himself. He felt like he wanted to cry what he had said to Sanma weeks ago. Whatever was shot from his mouth wasn’t from his heart, what’s wrong with him? For weeks, he have wandering around, nowhere to go. He couldn’t go to the Tendo Place or to school. He looked weak and his eyes were black, it is shown clearly he haven’t been sleeping nor eating for last few weeks.

“Sanma…” He whispered alone, his eyes were narrowed and there was a vision of Sanma standing in front of him, “Sanma-chan…” He lost his sight and fainted.

There was a lady standing on the nearby roof. Her hair was tied down on two bundles and her right arm on her hip. There was an evil grin, “Sanma-chan, you will suffer what I suffered…”

“Thanks Shampoo!” Sanma walked out from their restaurant and held on her stomach, as she walk, “Ahh! I feel full!” It started to rain slowly and began to rain more but Sanma didn’t panic to run back home. Instead, she looked up the sky and feel the water on her cheeks. “Ryoga…” She whispered alone and began to think about him. When it all started, until the last day she spend with him.

Out of the blue, the street lamp crashed down just beside her and she was startled. She didn’t have the chance to escape. She was hit to the wall only her arms protecting her. Her eyes were closed. Blood began to drip down her head. It wasn’t the street lamp pushed her to the wall as impact. There was something hit her to the wall. She opened her eyes slowly to see and saw a large being with two horns. The eyes were terrifying. After the thunder strike, Sanma began to scream.
