This is just a quick one shot. I came up with this a few seconds before writing it. If you wanna flame me go ahead.
Warning: Dark fic.
Too Late to Regret
Rain; it’s what’s been bothering him for a long time. Water irritated him ever since that incident at Jusenkyo. But now, the curse was gone. The not so normal Ranma Saotome was now free of his curse. No more turning into a girl. No more Kuno chasing and holding him. No more Nabiki taking pictures of his girl side.
He was happy. He was glad that it all had ended. But he hadn’t been when he had come back. When he had come back to Nerima, his once joyous eyes had turned to complete sadness. Ranma suddenly remembered what the sorcerer had said, before giving him the cure. He had given a warning to Ranma but he had paid no attention to it.
“What have I done?” Ranma said as tears flowed out of his eyes. He felt the rain, falling on his face, taunting him, telling him that this was what he wanted, what he wished for. He looked at the remains of Nerima. Everything was destroyed, burned to the last house.
Ranma trudged down the street towards the Tendo Dojo. The building was completely destroyed. Nothing remained. The rain kept falling as smoke rose into the air. The sorcerer’s words rang in Ranma’s mind. This cure requires great sacrifice. You would have to give up everything you have before, to get this cure. Ranma screamed as he fell to his knees and cried.
Everything was destroyed. The Dojo, Ukyo’s house, Shampoo’s restaurant, Dr. Tofu's clinic, all of it. Everything was gone. Only left with memories.No more Kasumi cheering everyone up when things got out of hand. No more Pop to fight with. No more fights with Mousse or Kuno or Cologne. No more Ukyo, no more Shampoo, no more Nabiki, no more….Akane. Akane…he had given her up, given up the moments they used to spend with each other. That beautiful smile that had always had an effect on him, her laugh that had managed to warm his heart, her peaceful voice that had been music to his ears. He had given all that up, just for the stupid cure. He had betrayed her. He had given up the life he had had,to become normal. That was all he had ever cared about.
“AAAAAH!!” Ranma screamed towards the heavens. The rain kept on falling on him, adding to the emptiness that was growing in his heart. A voice spoke in his mind. This is what you wanted. You wanted to be normal. You wanted all of it to end.
“No, I never wanted it,” he said to himself.
You wished for it.
“No!”
You wanted to be cured.
“NO!”
You wanted all of them to go.
“NOOOOOO!!”
Ranma slammed his fist into the charred street. Craters formed under his strength, under his anger.
Ranma screamed towards the sky again and let all the tears in his eyes burst out. He slowly brought down his head onto the street. ‘I wanna take it back. I wanna take it all back,’ Ranma kept repeating it in his mind. There was nothing that he could do. Everything, his life, his love, they were all….over.
Ranma's eyes opened as his anger started to consume him.
"No, it's not over," Ranma said as he stood up slowly.He looked at the ashes of the Tendo Dojo."I'll kill him. I'll kill everyone who has magical powers and potions." Ranma touched what remained of the gate."I'll avenge all of you."
I got this idea while listening to one of the Star Wars’ soundtrack, ‘Anakin’s Betrayal’. To those who haven’t listened to it, well, it’s your loss. Tell me what you think. I don’t mind flames.
