Well, she did and I might as well try it, before giving up. Might be useful, who know? Oh, you must be asking yourself how I came into this, let's just say that I tried to talk to Akane, to see if she could help me to find out if I was a boy or a girl. That's when she told me she wrote a diary, like all the girls she knew. So, just to humour her, I'm trying to write one myself... But I stay sceptic. What to say? Or rather, how to start? I know : Ryoga Hibiki, the eternal lost boy. He finally found Ranma and had a grundge with him. Who would have thought that losing the bread race everyday, in junior school, would start such a hatred in him? No sooner than he found Ranma, the lost boy got lost, only to come back a week later to challenge Ranma. The fight went well, until Akane followed the two fighters when they jumped the sports field, she wanted to watch all the match. Of course, she nearly got cought by Ryoga's razor sharp bandanas, "only" losing a good length of her hair, putting a definite stop to the fight when the two challengers tried to make up for the hair cut, and apologized. I can understand that she was angry at Ryoga for launching his bandanas carelessly, but why did she have to hit Ranma too, hu? She was the one wanting to be here to help "just in case"... Ahh, as if Ranma could need any help from her in a fight.Only I could have helped him, but Ranma would not take it well, like we were thinking he couldn't manage himself in a fight. He'd be wrong, about me anyway, because having the same memory as him, I know how he think and I respect him as a martial artist. The first week after my "birth", Akane was gentle and all. And I didn't really put some effort to see past this facade. But this event showed me another face of Akane, in fact the same face she wear each time she "spar" with Ranma : the ill tempered girl with no control over her anger. I'm truly starting to dislike her. She acts like she owns Ranma or something. Well, me alive, my bro is going to be free to do as he wants, that I swear. Same day into the raining night, Ryoga found the dojo and attacked a sleeping Ranma... and he dares to talk about honor? Talk about self- centered, make me thing about a certain uncute tomboy. Well, to make the story short, the lazy panda hit the two boys with a sign that projected them outside, Ranma got a free bath into the pond. Waked up by all the noise, I got to the window to see what it was all about. The fight between Ranma and Ryoga was short, ryoga mentionning he followed Ranma up to China and Jusenkyo. Akane, apparently thinking Ryoga was a robber, launched a weight at him that hit him on the head. The shock made him lose his umbrella, only thing protecting him of the cold rain. Ryoga then jumped the wall and ran into the night. Ranma later found his clothes but no trace of him A little later, while Ranma was still searwhing for Ryoga's cursed form, I heard noises coming from Akane's room. She was attacked by a little black pig with a familiar yellow collar... We met Ranma into the sitting room, with a dog. The dog was the neightbour's and not Ryoga. Ranma then went to take a bath, he was felling firty with all the cold rain that plastered his clothes on his body. Akane asked him to bathe the pig too, well that's Akane for you. After a yell, Akane and me saw Ranma running after the pig, trying to clober it with a bath tool. Akane took the "poor piggy's" defense, nor even hearing Ranma's excuses. She kissed the pig's snout and took it with her to bed. Ranma then told me that the pig was in fact Ryoga, as I had thought. He wanted to go get the pig after Akane went to sleep but I told him to let her be. We will always be able to reveal P-chan's (Akane really have no imagination for names) true identity later. Yep, I'm truly starting to dislike Akane. Let her be a fool with her cute piggy for a while. I'm waiting to see her face when I'll tell her it was Ryoga all along. He he he. ---
