Prologue
--------------------
His head hurt. It hurt a lot. Almost as if it was burning.
But he wasn't unfamiliar to that feeling. It wasn't all that much different to waking up after a half a ton boulder hit his face or one of his crazy adversaries finds a new move that manages to knock him out.
However, he felt a little different this time. He didn't actually remember fighting anyone, in fact, he pretty much remembered being in a plane at the time he lost his conscience.
He was with Akane and...
Ranma suddenly opened his eyes. He was on a beach, he didn't know how he was there. He only knew that he was very wet, very female and worried to dead for Akane. Was she kidnapped again?
"AKANE!" He yelled while getting up. He looked around. Many people were crying, others were trying to save lives, some were trying to find loved ones, much like he was... the rest were just trying to figure out what was going on.
He noticed a burly man, an afican-american he'd seen on the plane, who was helping a couple of kids. Ranma was about to help him, but as he was about to move a latin woman took his place and performed CPR one of the kids, a girl.
Ranma kept looking. "AKANE!" He yelled again. No one answered. They were too worried with their own problems to even care about who Akane was or where she could be.
He sat on the sand looking at the sky and trying to figure out why this was happening to him. "I guess I just can't help it, my life is just like that..."
After that he helped the burly man getting every dead body from the sea to the beach. He didn't want to find Akane, but he wanted to know if the girl was among the dead. He was glad to know that she wasn't there. She had just dissapeared.
A single tear crossed his cheek.
--------------
"Ranma..."
He opened one eye, not in the mood to talk but also not really feeling sleepy. "Yes?"
The girl next to him smiled and kissed his cheek. He blushed. He wasn't used to her being so... girly. "What is it, Tomboy?"
Akane frowned at him, it seemed like she was about to punch him but decided not to. "I need to use the restroom"
He yawned a little. "Mmm... stay"
Akane didn't seem to hear him, or maybe she just didn't want to 'stay'. "I'll be back in a moment, see you later. Promise."
"Ok, but remember, if you see anyone of the guys you have to come back, don't want the plane falling down because Shampoo deicided it was a good idea to blow you up" They smiled at each other, the mere idea seemed unreal.
"I don't think amazons are allowed in these planes, but I'll keep an eye open just in case" She kissed him again on the cheek and walked away.
--------------
"Are you allright?" The burled man asked him.
He lloked around, it was night already.
"Are you allright?" The man repeated.
He looked up at the man and nodded. "Akane..."
"Akane? Is that someone's name?"
Ranma formed a fist with his hand. "Hai... I mean, yesu- yes, she... wife"
The man nodded even if he didn't understand completely what Ranma had said. "My name's Eko, what's your name, girl?"
"Girl?" Ranma looked down. He remembered the curse. How could he forget? "Oh... Name... Name's Saotome Ranma"
"Well, Say-to-me... I mean, Ranma... I'll pray for Akane"
"She's everything I got"
The man was about to reply something when suddenly there was a loud noise, one that didn't seem to come from any of the survivors. Almost too fast for the eye to see someone hit a couple of men close to them. Ranma jumped as there was another blur that seemed to be attacking Eko, using his speed he catched a man an put him on the floor.
"Who are you?" He demanded just as Eko took a stone and knocked another one that was about to attack Ranma from the back.
"What's going on?" Yelled the latin woman as she run where they were.
"This... creep try to harm!" exclaimed Ranma.
The woman took a better look at the prisioner. "Who are you?"
The man looked at her silently, he didn't seem to want to talk at all.
"There's another" said Ranma staring at the man that Eko had striked.
The woman touched the other man's neck and frowned. "Dead. This is strange, they don't have shoes... these people were here before us."
Ranma frowned. "They kill two men, try to kill Eko"
"Yea, yea, china-girl..." muttered the woman as she turned to the others "Hey! Look for a cable to hold this man, he has to answer what the hell is going on!" She turned to Ranma and nodded. "Name's Ana Lucia, what's yours?"
"Ranma"
"Well, Ranma, seeing as you're strong enough to hold him down, you can help me tying him up"
After they tied the man to a tree the woman and Ranma confronted him. "Who are you people? Why did you kill two of us?" Asked Ana glaring at the man.
When no answer came, Ranma punched the other "Where Akane?" But his fist probed to be too strong to the man as he fell Unconscious.
Ana pushed Ranma. "China-girl! We need him to answer our questions, not sleeping!"
Ranma glared at the latin woman. "They has Akane, I'm sure"
"Right now we need to stay alive and get to know what the hell is going on"
"You do that, I find Akane" Ranma turned around and left the beach in a vain attempt to find Akane Tendo.
--------------------
AN: This Ranma is 19 years old, that's why he and Akane seem OOC. The reasons for them being on Flight 815 will be explained later on. I choose him to be on the 'other side of the island' to improvise a little.
In my story Ranma doesn't speak perfect english but he obviously speaks it better than, say, Jin (Who actually just knows a couple of words...).
This Ranma is based on the manga, not the anime. Girl-Ranma's hair isn't red, just a little lighter than Boy-Ranma's.
As most of you could guess, English is not my first languaje so I'd be glad if someone offers to beta-read this fic.
