No Title.


Ranma sat on the hill, lying on the soft summer grass. Idly, he watched
the clouds above slowly drift by him as he thought about the day. Today
had not been a good day for him, first of all it was his birthday.
 No one had remembered his birthday, now he didn't expect much.
Certainly not a present, living up with Genma had taught him that. He
just wanted a break from the usual 'activities', that wasn't too much to
ask was it?
 Apparently it had been, first he had been woken up by Genma for morning
practice. Then Akane had whacked him all the way to school when Shampoo
showed up and glomped him. The whole day, he kept wishing that someone
at least remembered, but no one did. Not even Ukyou, his best friend.
 By the end of school, when Akane had tried to scold him for flirting
with Shampoo, he had ignored. Why couldn't she see that he wasn't in the
mood to fight with her. Let her think whatever she wanted. But
apparently, she had been so infuriated by him ignoring her that she had
kicked him off. He had landed on the hill, and instead of rushing back
home he had decided to lie here and think.
 It was unfair, life certainly was. Whenever Akane's birthday came, her
family treated her like some princess, giving in to her requests(Well
all except Nabiki of course.). But when it came to his, nobody
remembered. Not even his baka Oyaji.
 He wiped away the wetness on his cheeks, man did not cry.
 " Ranma?" He turned surprised that someone had found him.
 " What is it," He replied monotonelessly, as he stared straight at the
blue heavens.
 " Here." Something was being offered to him, a wrapped up parcel.  "I'm
sorry I forgot your birthday."
 He sat up, cocking his head to one side as he looked at the girl in
front of him with a new light. He smiled, his first happy smile that
day.
 " Thanks." Perhaps life wasn't so bad after all, he couldn't think of
anyone else he would want to remember his birthday.

Author's Notes: I've had this idea for quite some time, but somehow I
never really had the time to write it out. And I pictured to be a bit
longer, but it seems to have shrunk in the writing. Well, tell me what
you think of this. Thanks.
