barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet,
gracious discourse of my book friends. They talk to me
without embarrassment or awkwardness."

Ranma 1/2 isn't mine, etc, etc, etc...
Author's note:Oaky ^_6 this is a little warning out there for all people who
like ABBA, there is some mild ABBA bashing happening in this fic. It is just
mild bashing though, used only to further the plot of the story...besides
how can anyone actually hate ABBA?

Subject: You listen to ABBA?
Okay, I'm scared of you now for one simple reason. You listen to ABBA and
freely admit it! What's wrong with you? ABBA is a thing of the past, a tacky
thing of the past at that�and yet you listen to them, you have them playing
on your computer. Don't get me wrong Listener, you're a great guy, and a
great friend�but you listen to ABBA. In case you can't tell I'm in shock
here. Of all the people in the world I thought you would be the last one to
listen to ABBA, of course that's just coming from my mind's image of you. In
your e-mails you seem like a caring and emotional person, so when I try to
picture you in my mind I see a fairly clear picture or you�or what I think
you look like, and I can honestly say that ABBA is not in that picture!
Sorry, I just had to tell you that.
So, you love me, either as a friend or as something else�that's interesting
to here. I guess I feel the same way about you, but I'm not sure. I've
actually never sat down and thought about it. Sure you have become a big
part of my life to. I've told you things about my family, and myself that I
would never tell another living soul, but I don't know, part of me still
wonders. How can I love someone who hasn't told me a single thing about
himself?
Your ideas about what to do with my father were interesting to read. This
might surprise you but I wasn't upset when you suggested finding dad a new
love, a little shocked but not upset. I wasn't upset for one reason, your
right, he does need to find someone else to love. I saw a picture of him
with my mother when they were younger, the other day. He looked so happy, so
young, so alive�maybe just maybe if he found someone else, he would be like
he was in that picture. As for talking to him, well I talked to my sisters
last night after reading your e-mail and we came to the decision that you
are correct. We do need to talk to him. The only problem is, none of us have
the courage to do it. That is why we have decided to ask either Dr. Tofu or
Auntie Saotome to talk to him, we haven't decided yet. Akane is leaning
towards Auntie while Kasumi is leaning towards Dr. Tofu and until we all
agree on who to ask it's in limbo.
The way you talked about Kuno and his family�it's well, it's as if you know
them or have been through what they have been through. Of course I have no
way of knowing because you won't tell me about yourself, not even you're
real name or initials. However, you might say that there is no help for
them that they have passed the point of return, but I don't. I know... I
just know that deep down within him, there is the Kuno that I once knew. I
know what you're thinking. You're more then likely thinking, forget it, he
will never go back to the way he was, to the way that you want him to be�but
you're wrong, I just know you are. Sometimes he does, he does go back to the
way he was. He probably thinks that people don't notice, but I do. I notice
the times when he doesn't quote Shakespeare, I notice the times when he
doesn't feel like he has to choose either Akane or his pig-tailed goddess,
when he doesn't feel that he needs either of them. I notice those things.
I'm sorry Listener but I can't tell you what happened to our mother's. It's
just to hard for me to talk about. Besides I don't think Kuno would want
someone who doesn't know him, to know how his mother died. You understand
don't you?
How did you know about Ryoga, and the others? Did I tell you about them and
not remember? Anyway it doesn't matter. I think that they know how Ranma and
Akane feel about each other. At least Ryoga and Ukyo do, at times they seem
almost happy for them, while at other times they seem lost and confused.
It's almost as if they don't know what to do, part of them wants to leave
Ranma and Akane alone, and wish them all the best for the future. While the
other part is stopping them, telling them that they have to try to pull them
apart as if their lives depend on it. I think that eventually the first part
will win out, it looks as if it already has started too. Shampoo on the
other hand is blind. She can't seem to understand that Ranma doesn't love
her. Part of me thinks that Shampoo isn't in love with Ranma himself but
with his skills and his power, and if he were ever to lose those things that
she covets she would dump like he was yesterdays news.
Tell my feelings to Kuno? I've tried Listener, honest I've tried, but it
doesn't work. Every time I get close to him I lose my nerve and insult him
or sell him pictures of my sister or Ranma in girl form. What's wrong with
me, why can't I tell him? I want to, I really do. Sometimes I have this
urge to just walk up to him and tell him that I love him, but I don't follow
through. I think I'm afraid, not of telling him how I fell, but of his
reaction. Will he laugh at me, hate me, tell me that he feels the same? If
only I wasn't such a wimp.
I talked to Akane and Ranma this morning on the way to school. I actually
walked with them for once. Anyway Akane thinks she has an idea about Kasumi
but she didn't have time to tell me what it was before we got to school. We
said that we would meet later tonight and talk about it. I'm hoping that she
has some information that will be helpful.
I better go, Akane and Ranma just got here and want to talk�besides Ranma is
attempting to read the e-mail.
Ciao�
