A Lost Friend

I got this idea while I was listening to How Could This Happen to Me by Simple Plan. This song is between Ranma and Ryoga. No humor.

I don’t own Ranma ½ and ‘How Could This Happen to Me’. They belong to their owners.

P.S. this is my first song fic.

Ranma woke up. Again he had that dream. It’s been a week but he still could never forget it. Ranma stood up and walked out of his room. It was around after midnight. He went to wash his face in the bathroom. Ranma then looked up at the mirror and saw his friend. He felt guilty for what he had done.

Ranma stepped outside and jumped up onto the roof. He sighed and sat down. He looked towards the streets which were only lit by the lampposts. Ranma thought back at what he had done.

Flashback

Ranma opened his eyes. He was on a bed in a hospital. He stared at the ceiling.

I opened my eyes I tried to see

But I’m blinded by the white light

There was a sharp pain in Ranma’s head and chest. He had a few broken ribs.

I can’t remember how

I can’t remember why

I’m lyin’ here tonight

Ranma looked to his left and saw his friend, Ryoga.

And I can’t stand the pain

And I can’t make it go away

No I can’t stand the pain

“R – Ryoga?”

How could this happen to me?

I’ve made my mistakes

Got nowhere to run

The night goes on as I’m fadin’ away

I’m sick of this life

I just wanna scream

“You’re finally awake Ranma,” Ryoga looked and smiled at him. He was lying on a bed too.

How could this happen to me?

“What happened?!” Akane and her sisters burst in.

Everybody’s screamin’

I tried to make a sound

But no one hears me

Ranma and Ryoga ignored them. “You won that battle Ranma.” Ryoga extended his right arm to shake hands with Ranma.

I’m slippin’ of the edge

I’m hangin’ by a thread

I wanna start this over again

Ranma extended his left arm and grabbed Ryoga’s hand. Ryoga smiled weakly at Ranma.

So I try to hold

Onto a time when

Nothin’ mattered

“I never admitted it at first but I’m glad to be your friend,” Ryoga said.

And I can’t explain what happened

And I can’t erase the things that I’ve done

Ryoga turned his head to face the ceiling and closed his eyes. His chest dropped as he let go of his last breath.

No I can’t

Ryoga’s hand slid out off Ranma’s

How could this happen to me?

To Ranma, it happened so slowly.

I’ve made my mistakes

Got nowhere to run

Ranma’s eyes widened.

The night goes on as I’m fadin’ away

I’m sick of this life

I just wanna scream

Ranma just laid there in silence, looking at his dead friend.

How could this happen to me?

Ranma looked back at the fight. He dodged Ryoga’s kicks and punches and his umbrella. A kick got through Ranma’s defense and connected with his chest. Ranma hit the tree with his head. He got up and before Ryoga could defend himself, Ranma punched Ryoga at his chest, puncturing his lungs and heart.

I’ve made mistakes

Got nowhere to run

Tears fell from Ranma’s eyes.

The night goes on as I’m fadin’ away

I’m sick of this life

I just wanna scream

Ranma’s dropped his arm.

How could this happen to me?

Flashback over

Ranma sighed and buried his face in his arms which were folded on his knees. He regretted for what he has done. He lost his best friend, and he couldn’t get him back.

This was playin’ around in my mind. Had to get it out. As you could see, it’s pretty short. Review if you want. I don’t mind flames now.
