This is my first attempt at a fanfic.
It's short, it's pointless but I'll post it anyway.

The Fallen One
By: Silver
---------------

    This is the one who summoned me? This little gnome? I should have
stayed in bed. It can talk? Gross. I'll just ignore it I guess. On this
floor there's a girl, a really angry girl. A pitiful anger though, used
to hide her true emotions from herself, nothing to waste my time on. On
the bottom floor, two girls and two older men. One very scared girl,
hides behind a facade of greed and ice. One depressed, hides behind
cheerfulness. A greedy man without empathy. The other one a wreck, a
shadow of his true self.
    On the roof, misery, self loathing, depression. This bears looking
into. I step out of the poorly prepared circle and head for the door.
The gnome yells something at me. I destroy it, no traces. I then walk
slowly down the stairs, attracting strange stares from the two young
women. I nod curtly at them, disguising my contempt for their weak
nature. As I pass the men, one of them dares ask me who I am. I would
destroy him but I am no longer in that mood, instead I direct an angry
scowl his way. Weak as he is he cowers under my gaze; I let my eyes
wander across the room, evoking shudders from all present.
    I start walking again, heading for the front door, as I reach it one
of the girls call out. "If you want Ranma, I'll tell you where he is.
For a price." How dare she try to get money out of me? I rip the door
from its hinges and walk out through the opening. When I reach the yard,
I rise from the ground, float up over the roof to land beside a damp
redheaded girl. I lay a hand on her shoulder and she jumps up into a
ready stance.
    "I am not here to fight you." I state. It doesn't seem to soothe her
though.
    "What d'ya want?" She seems rather set on fighting.
    "Talk." I answer her. From her incredulous look I guess this isn't a
regular occurrence.
    "Yeah right!" She says, dropping out of her stance. "What'd he do,
engage me to your sister or something?"
      "She would never marry." I respond. "She's rather easy." The
redhead gives me an inquiring look before sitting down again. I sit down
beside her, staring at the horizon. A ladder rises beside me, it's that
angry girl. I push the ladder down on her head. She's even angrier now.
A small rock appears in my hand and I retract my hand to throw it. The
redhead turns my way and I shrug before throwing the rock, evoking a
yell of pain from a tree not far away. A camera comes crashing down.
    "I'm Ajin."
    "Saotome Ranma."
    I rise from the roof to leave; before I can the redhead grabs my
wrist.
    "How're ya doin' that?" She asks.
    "It's a gift." I tear loose and glide to the ground.
    "Farewell, until next time." I say and she grunts. I disappear. She
probably didn't even notice.

    She's sitting on her futon sullenly, almost as the last time I met
her. Except this time she's beat up, her clothes are torn and bruises
show on her legs and arms.
    "What happened?" I ask and she jumps slightly, she'll get used to
it.
    "Nuthin'." Yeah right.
    "Tell me about this 'nothing'." I move to stand behind her, my hands
on her shoulders.
    "It was just Ryouga, attacking me for no reason."
    "Should I kill him for you?" Tell me and I will.
    "WHAT? NO!" She turns around, surprised.
    "Why not?" I want to.
    "You can't just go around killing people." Her shoulders slump.
    "Yes I can, that's what I do." Maybe I should kill him anyway. She
moves to back away and I take a firmer grip off her shoulders.
    "You're an assassin?"
    "No, I'm a demon." Maybe I shouldn't. Her shoulders slump deeper.
    "There's no such thing." She says.
    "But there is."
    "What do you want with me then? Did pops sell my soul for a pickle
or something?"
    "He has nothing to do with this, and I require nothing from you." Am
I to think that she has been sold often?
    "Yeah right. Everybody wants something from me." I detect bitterness
in her voice, and there should be.
    "You believe what you want to believe. Do you wish that I leave?" I
should go now.
    "I guess so." I'm gone.

    I think this was a good idea. Ever since I started following Red
around things have been quieting down around her. I've had to have the
pink haired girl participate in a couple of accidents and I took out
that loon once but that's it so far. Now I'm just waiting for this
Ryouga person to show up. He needs to be taught a lesson. Discreetly of
course. I've heard he supposedly shows up once a week so maybe I'll get
lucky today. Maybe that's him over there smashing through a brick wall.
Petty trick that. I'll just have to check.
    "Could you tell me your name my good man?"
    "AAHH!!" I think I startled him, oops. He seems to prideful to admit
that though.
    "I'm Hibiki Ryouga, did ya want something?" Jackpot. I take him by
the throat and drag him to a nearby, untouched, wall. He only makes a
couple of gurgling noises. I slam him up against the wall and push my
face up close to his. My fangs are showing and my face twists into a
more appropriate design.
    "Your are the arch rival of Saotome Ranma." I state in a low
gurgling voice. He nods as much as he can in his current condition. "I
suggest you leave her alone for the moment." He nods again and I let
him go. He turns to run away and instead heads right for Ranma, bumping
into said boy.
    "S-SO S-SORRY R-RANMA!" He stammers loudly before scurrying away.
Red only watches him curiously before heading towards Furinkan high once
again.

    "I didn't need your help you know." Red states as I walk up behind
her.
    "I know." I reply and put my hands on her shoulders. "I had nothing
better to do." She snorts but keeps staring at the sunset.
    "I could take you away from all this you know." I say, and I would
like to.
    "I can't run away." She replies.
    "I could kidnap you." I suspect she's smiling.
    "No you couldn't, they would come after us." Still smiling I think.
    "Not where I'll take you." The smile disappears from her face.
    "I would need to think about it."
    "Yell when you're done." I fade back into the shadows.

    Days later I find Red badly beaten inside the dojo. That angry girl
again. I walk up to her and pick her up. I then take her with me up to
the roof before waking her. She opens her eyes and stares at me. I stare
back.
    "Let's go." She whispers weakly.
    "Are you sure?" I need to know.
    "Yeah." I open a portal with a wave of my hand. As I take her
through she changes back. The portal closes behind us. That night,
Nerima burnt to the ground.

    Ranma is OOC, I know but don't care. It's pointless I know, so what?
C&C would be greatly appreciated.
