I Know
  A Ranma 1/2 Fanfic
    by turbo
  Ranma and all related characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi, 
and all the good companies that share the responsibility of 
sharing her work with the world. I mean no offense to those 
responsible, I hope that they enjoy this.

  "That's O.K. Ryoga, I have always known."
  "What!?! Why didn't you tel.."
  "Not now, Ranma!" I pause letting my anger fade. While he is my 
fiancee, he can be an inconsiderate jerk.
  "You may be wondering why I let you believe that I didn't 
know." I directed this unspoken question at the man-turned-pig. 
  "You may be wondering why I turned a Blind Eye to your actions, 
your dishonor." I let each word sink in. I try to not let the 
rage I feel creep into my voice. How I have always wanted to beat 
Ryoga. The image of a bloody pulp comes to mind.
  "To tell you the truth, I really wanted to kill you once I 
found out. It only took me a few days. I cannot believe that it 
took you years." I feel my eyes draw together. Despite my 
control, my anger shows.
  I release my breath before I speak. I still do not trust my 
voice.
  "I felt that you were a lech. Your noblility as a man countered 
that thought. So I treated you as a pet. I could not think of 
anything else.
  "At first, I coould not fathom what made you come back to me as 
P-chan. The only thought was that the curse had taken over your 
mind." Here was the heart of the matter. 
  When I 'learned' this I pushed Ranma away from me the only way 
I knew. I have caused my fiancee more harm due to my own 
homo-phobic tendancies than actually beating him up. I really 
don't mind Ranma in a girl's body. I don't think I could handle 
Ranma _as_ a girl.
  "My next thought was that you liked being treated as a pet pig. 
So I did. In all my actions you were only a pet. I may have given 
you more respect than Ranma, but I treated you worse than he ever 
did."
  Ryoga sat there, in his pig form. His clothes were strewn 
about. He had changed in the middle of the park. It had starteed 
raining while Ranma and he fought. I tried to warn them, but it 
didn't work. The hiss of the rain had stopped suddenly.
  "Ryoga, I do not want to see this again. Your fight with Ranma 
is over. All your excuses are gone. You can blame no one but 
yourself. Your treatment was entirely in your hands. Had you the 
courage to tell me, I might feel different."
