The stream was cooling to her sore feet. She had been up all most of the day before waiting. Waiting on the dolt to finally show is face. A face that she missed more then she wanted to admit. She shook her head from side to side and took in a deep breath. The air filled her lungs and left her feeling relaxed. Though it really didn't really stop her from wishing that he would just show up already! If she had been brave enough to bite the bullet for them, then the least he could do was show up! She felt the familiar twinge of anger creep up her spine, but she quickly inhaled an even deeper breath. She felt calm again and leaned backwards to lie on the bank of the river.

They had been meeting like this, in secret, for a few months now. She saw it as the only real solution to all of the obstacles that were always in their way in Nerima. This river was far away from scamming fathers, crazy finances, and your general psychopaths like the Kunos. She closed her eyes and sighed. She really enjoyed her time here with him. Not just because it gave her chance to think, but because here she got to see the side of Ranma that was not shown as often as she would like. It was the side that was clumsy and fumbling, but also sweet and caring. It was the side of him that he only truly showed to a few rare people, and she was glad that she was one of the lucky ones.

Her eyes fluttered open slowly when she heard the rustling of leaves just by the entrance of the grove that lead to their river. A smile spread over her face as she peered up into the dark eyes that she had come to know all too well. They held a look of slight worry, and some concern within them.

"Ahh… Akane. Sorry I'm late." Ranma muttered as he kicked at the leaves in front of him.

Akane stood up slowly and put her hands on her hips before answering to what he had said.

"It's not important. Though I could ask you what kept you." She stated as she brushed off he shorts.

She glanced over at Ramna, who was turning about seven different shades of red as twiddled his thumbs together.

"I urrmmm.. I I I… Well." He muttered as he reached into the sack he had on his back. Akane gave a small snort of amusement at his answer, but her face nearly broke from the smile that soon crept upon her face. Ramna's face turned almost purple when her arms swung around his neck and her soft body pressed into him.

"Ranma, you remembered!" Akane cried as she pulled away and took the brightly wrapped present. She gently unwrapped it and gasped in surprise. It was the beautiful broche that she had been admiring in the window of a shop a few months ago. Her eyes watered and she once again wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his shirt.

"You idiot. I can't believe you…" She muttered into his shirt as she held tight on to him.

"Happy Birthday." Ranma said as his own face nearly broke with a smile.
