Within every being, there lives your weakness. It dwells inside everyone, maturing and growing as you age. And like a
bomb it will swell up till the moment it will explode and kill it's creator. It is the true reason for death. It is the most painful and yet
satisfying creation ever made.
It murders...
it rapes...
it hates...
it fears...
it confuses...
it attaches...
it anticipates...
it crys...
it loves...
"If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it would be this. There only exists one weakness, ... your emotion..."

Note: This story makes a lot more sense if you've read the story with the suit that makes one stronger (I don't know what it's
called, but it has Dou-chan in it) It started off after Ranma has been 'caught' in action and foiled by his father. [I'm explaining it
oddly so that I don't spoil it for you, I mean, I really liked that particular story]
It will probably have the most effect if you read the story just prior to reading this.

"You...were going...to hit me?"
"I wasn't trying to hit you, I was trying to get rid of the suit!"
"And you called me cute...And I almost believed you..." Akane said incredulously, "YOU JERK!" With that she punted
Ranma upwards. Ranma landed with a thud only a few feet away.
"I can't believe I even have to tell you, but if you hit me, I'll never forgive you."
"She's right..." Kasumi said softly.
"Toying with her, then hitting her to boot?" Nabiki questioned.
"It doesn't matter! I'm getting rid of the suit!" Shouted Ranma in defense as he grabbed the short fencing around the
grass.
Akane thought as she glanced away. Ranma seized to moment and
strategically threw the semi circles, which used to be the mini fence, towards Akane, pinning her against the tree.
"Ha! Now I've got you!" Ranma shouted as he prepared for his final strike.
(...He choose the duel over making up with me...) Ranma advanced towards her.
(...He choose the duel over making up with me...)Only milliseconds separated Ranma and his target.
(...He choose the duel over making up with me...) Target in site and range.
"...you jerk..." Akane said softly as a tear began to trickle down her face. A moment till impact.
(...She's crying?...) Two seconds too late.
And then, the hit...
followed by silence...
A bright glow flashed around Akane for a moment as the suit began to tare. When the flash ended, Akane stood
pinned, almost as if crucified, to the tree with much of her skin showing. She stood, unflinching, her face turned to the side and
towards. Her hair dangled in front of her. Ranma stood still, his fist still connecting with her abdomen.
It might as well have been her heart...
Only a few more moments of silence passed, though at the time it seemed like an eternity. Nabiki snapped out of her
trance and ran towards her sister, pushing Ranma aside. She struggled to pull the rings off, freeing Akane, before covering
Akane's bare body. Akane slumped forward and into her sister. She buried her head in her sisters chest.
"...Akane..."
Nabiki wrapped her arms around her and gently patted her sisters back. With much caution she turned Akane and
began walking home, leaving the rest of the family to stare at Ranma. Ranma looked towards Akane, then towards the faces of
those who stared at him with disbelief.
"...I...I..." he stuttered, not sure what he should say. Kasumi gave a sad look before running to catch up with Nabiki
and Akane. Soun merely looked at Genma, who cast his eyes down in shame, shaking his head ever so slightly.
"...But I..." Ranma tried again, still failing miserably. The two fathers had already begun to walk homeward, leaving the
boy to gawk on his own.
"...But I...didn't mean to..."
=================
Nabiki shut the door to Akane's room, leaving Akane wrapped inside her covers. Ranma had avoided coming into
visually contact with anyone till might later in the night where he perched himself on the roof of the Tendo residence.
Ranma sighed as he laid back, his hands tucked underneath his head. (Damn it...) He thought to himself. (Damn it,
damn it, damn it...What am I supposed to do now? I guess I have no choice but to apologize...She can't be that mad...I mean... I
didn't do anything ... right?) He sighed again and stood up, positioning himself so that he could enter through Akane's window.
He leaned over and tapped against the glass. Her room was dark, and he heard no sound. He tapped the glass again,
getting no response for either of his attempts. Cautiously he open her window and quietly entered. He walked towards the bed
and sat near the edge.
"Akane..." he said softly, "Akane..." he reached over, pulling the blanket just a bit so that he could see her face. What
he saw instead were pillows staring back at him. He looked around the room and noticed for the first time, since entering, the
disorder of it. Some clothing was tossed about, papers and books flung to the floor, and a broken picture frame which lay
shattered on her desk.
It didn't take long to figure out what had happened. He looked out the window to, in fact, see her running down and
away from the house. With grace he jumped out the window and followed her from a distance behind.
Eventually she had run into the city. Though night had fallen, that didn't mean that life had stopped. Ranma struggled
to follow Akane as she weaved through the thick sea of people. After about a half and hour of running about, Ranma felt he had
had enough. He speed up behind the short haired girl and grabbed her shoulder. The girl stopped and struggled from his grip.
"Look Akane, I'm sorry. Just because something happened doesn't mean you gotta run away all the time. I mean geez
Akane!" Ranma said, pouting. He turn away from her so that she would not see his embarrassed face as he spoke. "Akane,
wait... I...didn't mean it like that... I mean... I..."
The girl turned around looking at him in confusion as he continued to talk.
"I mean... I'm just sorry Akane Okay?" he said turning around to face her.
"Umm ... sir are you talking to me?"
"Huh?" Ranma responded, not understand what was happening. The girl tilted her head to the side and gave Ranma a
strange look before walking off.
"Weirdo..." she mumbled. Ranma looked frantically around as if he were a lost child in a big metropolis.
"Akane!" he shouted. (SHIT!) "Akane!" he began to run around looking for his missing fiancee. Feeling frustrated at
his lack of success, he shouted to release his emotion.
"AAAAKKKKKAAAANNNNNEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
---------------------
...It would be about another five years before he would be able to say that name to her again...
