Anna Brown (Love Note)

==History==
Anna and Farmer Brown were watching the incident at L’s building on the television when she spotted Ryoga, though he was disguised she was still able to recognize him. Now that she had information of where he was Anna went to Nerima to find him.
==Plot==
Anna’s first stop was at L’s building where she was picked out the crowd to be interviewed. This allowed Ranma to find her. Anna was skeptical about going with Ranma despite him telling her that he knew Ryoga, believing that he just wanted to get her alone so was happy when her trust proved fruitful. The reaction from Ryoga when Anna called his name was startling as he suddenly grew aware of his surroundings once more, almost like he had been shocked. In a bit of a panic Ryoga asked Anna what she was doing there and she told him about how she saw him on the television. Some of Ryoga’s usual ire was renewed towards Ranma when he asked him how he could run off on such a fine lady.
Ryoga dragged Ranma into the hall apparently getting into a whispered conversation. Anna was telling Kodachi how she met Ryoga when the two returned. Ranma asked Anna where she was staying, and when she told them her aunt was letting her stay at her place. Kodachi guessed the answer had just refuted some argument Ryoga had been relying on. Much to Kodachi’s ire Ryoga just told Anna that things were complicated when she asked him why he was down, luckily she did not say anything. Anna assured Ryoga that she would help him out. He tried to tell her that was not necessary, but told her that Ryoga could use all the moral support she could muster. Ryoga tried to complain but neither Ranma nor Anna seemed to care. Ranma and Kodachi let the two get reacquainted and went to the main floor with Ukyo.
Ryoga was hoping to get hopelessly lost; unfortunately two things were preventing this. The fact that Anna was following him and his sense of direction which led him to the random place he gave Anna when she asked him where they were going. Seeing that Ryoga didn’t have any money she insisted that she pay as she had plenty of travel money.
Ryoga felt even more guilty as they left not even listening to Anna as she excitedly talked about all the things you could get in the big city. She eventually noticed him muttering to himself overhearing how he had abused her trust. He denied he was talking about her before amending that he had and that he already had a girlfriend. However, only seconds after having said it, Ryoga hung his head and told her that was a lie as well. After confirming that he wasn’t dating Anna was just happy that she still had a chance.
Ryoga called her out for not taking this seriously only for here to point out that he hasn’t actually told her anything. Anna initially thought Ryoga was joking when he told her about his curse, forcing him to actually show it to her. It took awhile for Anna to process what she just saw at which point she asked how Ryoga changed back. It was a fair while later when Ryoga, thanks to a lot of creative communication managed to get the necessary hot water to return to human form.
By this point Anna had put two and two together having heard the Kodachi talking about it. So when Ryoga told her what he did with Akane she didn’t see what the big deal was as boys tried to peep on girls all the time. Ryoga didn’t see it that way however and became too shaken to form words. Seeing how depressed he was Anna told Ryoga that his only course of action was to beg Akane for forgiveness.
A defeated Ryoga asked Anna if she thought she would and while he did notice she wasn't that enthusiastic about the advice. Still, the words gave Ryoga cause to further consider. After another moment, Ryoga steeled himself and ran off boldly calling out to Akane. It was several minutes ran back around the block and stopp finally realizing that he didn’t know which way to go. He didn’t even notice Anna was there until she called out to him. They decided that it would be best if she led the way.
Anna went with Ryoga when he went to apologize to Akane and waited outside the Tendo compound. When he dragged himself out his eyes unfocused and lost worse than he had ever been before she quickly rushed over towards him to make sure he was okay. He completely ignored her presence and just muttered to himself about how his life was over. She finally managing to get a bit of his attention as she held his shoulder. Only for him to start ranting about what a terrible person he was and how he wished Akane had killed him. His crazed rant got cut sharply off by Anna slapping him sending him flying down the street with such force that even after half a block he still nearly shattered the street wall on impact.
The slap strangely made Ryoga feel better and now that he had calmed down the two began to talk. He was generally surprised that Anna didn’t see him as a total irredeemable pervert. She asked him what he would do now. Since he had completely burnt bridges with Akane he didn’t know, so she offered him a job at her farm. After thinking about it for a while Ryoga agreed seeing it as his chance for atonement. Anna surprised Ryoga again by revealing that she knew his real name. Urging him to follow her Anna asked if she could still call him Joe. He smiled slightly and nodded and followed along for a moment before she asked if he wanted to share her bed as well. This caused Ryoga to pull back in shock feeling that he may have bitten off more than he could chew.
