AN: I do not own or pretend to own any part of the genius this fanfic is based off of, so no suing me.
Summary:When Akane falls ill, how will Ranma react? Especially when her mom comes into the picture! I know it sucked. Sorry, it's my first summary.
"Hurry! I don't want to go home in the rain!"
Akane hurried to the umbrella stand at the front entrance of the school but right as she reached for the last umbrella, a boy with a braided ponytail snatched it and continued to the front gate with his friend. Not having a choice, Akane walked home in the rain.
The rain continued to patter on the roof and windows.
"C'mon Akane! You finally realize I'm better? Giving up?" Ranma asked teasingly as they sparred in the dojo later the same day.
"In your dreams," she replied hoarsely. Her movements felt slow and clumsy and her lungs sprinted to get air in faster.
"Well, then prove it!" Ranma jeered, dodging her punches. Akane punched then followed up with a kick that would have sent any other opponent flying into the wall. But Ranma just dodged gracefully again with a powerful backflip and landing a few feet away.
"Geez Akane, I think you're movin' slower than usual tod-"Ranma began only to be interrupted by a loud rasping gasp from behind him. Turning he found Akane on her hands and knees coughing so hard that her face was turning purple from lack of oxygen. Ranma cautiously took a step or two forward. Gradually, the coughing subsided and panting heavier than before, Akane eased herself up onto her feet and spat out the phlegm into the yard.
Watching her more closely Ranma asked lightly,"You getting sick or somethin'?" He knew something was up. "You okay?" he asked more seriously.
Akane felt lightheaded. So lightheaded she couldn't really tell which way was up and which was down. The dojo swirling dizzyingly around her while her jelly-like legs quivered and felt useless. Her breath was coming in seemingly shorter and shorter amounts and her body was drenched in a cold sweat. Around and around, swirling and twirling and finally her legs really did become jelly.
The moment her knees began to bend Ranma became certain that something was very wrong. Without hesitating, he ran to her and caught her, where she immediately went limp in his arms, passed out. 'She's definitely sick with a fever. Kasumi will know what to do,' Ranma thought. Instantly he was moving swiftly towards the house, Akane bridal style in his arms.
"Welcome ho-!" Kasumi greeted before cutting it off with a squeak of surprise upon seeing Ranma carrying Akane in as he was. Kasumi immediately took action. "Ranma put her in the living room and get warm towels and blankets. As many as possible! I'm going to call Dr. Tofu!"
Seeing Kasumi run through the house, probably scared Ranma more than Akane fainting. It could only mean that this was very bad.
