The pain of the jewel

Author: Ah… It's so nice to be outta there, there was a lot of really wacky people there…

Akane: You're welcome.

Author: oh right, sorry. Anyway, thanks a lot, I didn't know how much more I could take.

Anyway, I'm sure you all would like to know when I start the story right? Well good. It'll be soon, but I need to say something about my last Story 'Tears at the Tournament'. I know I mixed up a lot of words in the beginning, but the story was good and I tried to improve my Grammar, so I beg you to read it to the end!

Thanks and enjoy the Story!

(Lots of thanks go to Jeschura!! For helping me in this)


It was a rainy day in Nerima, and it was about time for Ranma and Akane to be going home from School. They had been getting along much better after the "almost-dying-thing" with Akane at Mt. Hell. But today it all went back to normal – if that's what you want to call it.

Ranma had sapped at Akane, because P-Chan came back. It's not that Ranma hated Ryoga. It's just that he hated the fact even if Ryoga had a girlfriend he still used his cursed form to sleep in one bed with Akane. And the fact that Ranma swore not to tell Akane about P-Chan did not help much. So he took it out on her, even if it was not the right thing to do. But because Akane was the girl she is she would forgive him after him apologizing.

And because Akane was smart she took an umbrella with her when she saw the clouds darken. She offered him the umbrella. He smiled at her and held it for them.

Just when they were about to take a step out of the house and into the rain the teens heard "Oh my Darling! Do not take such an insult of a shield form the rain! Take a better one fit for hands like yours from my love!"

That was suitor number one for the day, Kodachi. She pushed Akane into the rain and tossed her Umbrella away. Akane was now really mad because of falling into the mud.

'Uh-oh' Ranma thought.

"Thanks, Kodachi!" Akane yelled as she got up.

"Ah, now look who has the nerve to show up in front of my sweet Ranma in such hideous form!" Kodachi said.

And like that wasn't enough, Ukyo came by. "Hey Sugar, ready to come and eat with me?" she asked. "Oh, look, an umbrella! You're so sweet Ranma-honey!" she added putting her arm around his. Ranma gulped.

Akane was now much angrier than before, but this was not the end since the fiancée-hell had just begun.

"NIHAO Ranma!" yelled suitor number 3, Shampoo. She almost killed Akane with her bike.

"Ah!" Akane shrieked as she jumped out of the way.

Now she was at the over the boiling point. She was furious. Her umbrella was broken, Ranma yelling at her because of her poor P-Chan, and now Kodachi, Ukyo and Shampoo, too? Enough was enough.

Ranma had a bad feeling. "Here Ranma, take umbrella form Shampoo, yes? And we go Cat-Café?" he heard Shampoo say.

"No! My Ranma-darling will come with me to my House and we'll eat food fitting for his sweet stomach!" Kodachi yelled.

"No Sugar, he's coming with me, so hands off!" Ukyo stated.

Akane wanted to hurt someone now. Before Ranma came into her life she didn't have such awful days. 'But for every down there's an up, right?' She thought to herself.

"Then we fight. Last Umbrella no broke is one Ranma will take." she heard Shampoo say.

"Oh, great." Ranma said as he grabbed one of the umbrellas and started to run. He was not in the Mood for this for sure. The mob went after him, leavening Akane in her muddy dress behind. She was still furious. After all this Ranma just left her in the rain? Well she did know the answer. No… just not now… She began to walk home in the rain.

'I'll kill Ranma when he gets home!' Akane thought. 'For his own sake he shouldn't come home anytime soon.' She would have to do a nice workout to vent her anger out.

*****************Hours Later**************

When Akane came home Kasumi was surprised, asking how she got so soaked and were her Umbrella was. "I thought you brought one with you?"

Akane told her what happened. Kasumi sent her to take a hot bath, and Akane did like she was told. After this, she went to the dojo to work her anger to, because the bath was not enough to vent the rage out.

Little time later Ranma came back home after getting away at last. And he wanted to take a quick shower. When he got out, Kasumi wanted to talk to him. So he followed her into the kitchen.

"What is it Kasumi?" he asked,

"It's Akane, Ranma that was awfully rude to do that to Akane." Kasumi said.

"What?" he asked. But then it hit him. He had totally forgotten her in the rain.

"She's mad, huh?" He asked.

Kasumi just nodded. "I know I wouldn't be too happy about being left and forgotten in the rain." she said.

"Err"

"Why don't you go and cheer her up? She's in the dojo now."

"What's the use? Most of the time she'll just beat me up." he said.

"Well why not just let her today?" Kasumi asked in a playful way.

"Fine" Ranma said with a sigh.

Kasumi smiled and nodded.

And so he went to the dojo to see what he could do to make amends.

****

"Hiyaa!!!!" yelled Akane as she broke more bricks.

"Hi…" she heard from the door, she looked to where the voice came from. Seeing Ranma standing by the door she decided to show him the cold shoulder.

He sighed and said "Look, I'm sorry I forgot."

"Forgot ME!" She said looking at the broken debris on the floor,

"Hey, I said I'm sorry! At least you don't have to put up with them 24/7!" he yelled.

Her gaze turned to him, and an awful feeling went through him.

She growled and charged him with great speed. Before he knew what happened to him, Ranma was slammed up against the wall, Akane gripping his shirt.

"Then get rid of them! If you don't like all of the attention they're giving you, tell them how you feel! It's your life and they can't make you do anything you don't want to do! They are all waiting for you to pick who you want to be with!! And when you finally decide what you really want, they can go on with their life!!" Akane yelled at him. Slowly she let her grip fade. She turned around and went to the door. Touching the door she turned around once again. Facing him she whispered silently so he could barely hear: "Even Me…"

The words hit his heart hard. She was waiting for him to tell her how he feels…? If there was a thing he always liked about her, it was that she actually cared about how he felt. As soon as she left the dojo he fell against the wall.

'If… if she's waiting for me to tell them all how I feel… Does… does s-she… like me….?' he wondered.

Ranma knew exactly how he felt about Akane. She was the reason he was still around. She was everything to him. He couldn't even picture his life without her now he had her in his life. But the question was: what did she feel about him? What if she did not feel the same? His poor little heart could not take her rejecting him. She was the one who taught him how to love… He'd been afraid to tell her for the longest time now. He was so scared of it! He may be the best martial artist, but he was weaker when it came love then Gosunkugi was in a fight.

He sighed. 'Why can't I just tell her? But then… what if she takes it wrong?'

He got up. 'I'll just tell her. No matter how she takes it, I stay wiht her!' he thought.

He walked to his room and sat on his bed. "I'll tell her tomorrow…"

But...

******Moments ago******

"Tomboy getting to close to Husband, I go make sure he no like her …" Shampoo said.

As she made her way to the window she heard "I'll tell her Tomorrow…"

She almost gasped as she her hand to her cheek. 'Oooh I knew Ranma no love Tomboy!'

Up in the room Ranma smiled and said "Hang on… I'll tell you soon Akane…"

Shampoo froze and began to twitch 'So … you love tomboy! I make you… that's it, I know what do!' she thought as she jumped off and ran back home.

'If love and have the jewel of reversal then …. He hate Akane' she thought as she made her way home.
