Chapter one: If that's what we want; Akane's thoughts
"Are you sure this is what we want Ranma?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure this would be for the best." Akane smiled and nodded after he said that but it was no use, Ranma knew her too well for her to be able to hide the trace of sadness hiding behind her smile; but Ranma knew this is what had to happen if they wanted any chance at getting along much less getting married later on in life. It was a hard decision, but it was one that had to be made.
"Hey Akane! Just member, it's not forever just for a while alright?" God he hated seeing her look like this and Akane knew it and immediately removed the sad look from her face and took in a deep breath.
"I know it's fine, it'll be nice for a break from all of this anyway, we'll tell them at dinner tonight, meanwhile you go tell Shampoo and Ukyou of our arrangement and make sure they agree also."
"Hai." And with that Ranma jumped out of Akane's window to go complete the task.
Akane then stood from her chair and plopped on her bed and hid her face in her pillow as the event that had just passed ran through her head.
Flashback
:knock knock:
"Come in!" Akane half yelled as she turned around from her desk and studies to look at the person entering her room. "Oh hey Ranma, Whatcha need?"
"Akane can I talk to ya a second about something?" (this is odd, he actually looks serious, better not tease him this time.) Akane thought as she was considering dismissing him.
"Sure have a seat" She then proceeded to pull another chair and placed it infront of hers so the chair she was once seated in and the newly arranged chair faced each other. Ranma took his seat ,started to swirl his fingers then stopped, put his hands in his lap and said,
"Akane, I know that this whole engagement thing was our parents fault, and that it wasn't quiet fair to the both of us not having a choice in who it was we wanted to marry, n-now I want you to hear me out so no interrupting okay?" she nodded and he proceeded, "Now you know had I had been training for the past years so I never really got the chance to meet girls, date, much less make friends, other than Ukyou of course. So I started thinkin' how do we know that WE are meant for each other. Don't get me wrong Akane I do care for you A LOT, but don't you ever wonder what if there was someone out there you were meant to be with other than me? And so I think it would be best if we broke the engagement off temporarily and went and saw other people for a while you know, and see how things go from there. I already talked to my mom and she knows about the curse now, and after then initial passing out afterwards she was just happy to see her son again, and so since we will no longer be engaged I will be moving to my mom's house. I will still go to Furinkin don't worry and we can still talk and hang out, but knowin our pops another surprise wedding is prolly being planned as we speak, and before I go and marry anybody, I wanna make sure it's right. I know it was kindda unfair of me to go and ask my mom and stuff already but I really think this would be best don't you?"
Akane was in shock, but she knew she couldn't tell him that.
"What I good idea Ranma! Why didn't I think of it before?" she exclaimed half excited half hurt.
"Great AKANE! I was really worried that you would take this the wrong way! Man was I wrong!" he then began to laugh to himself just long enough to miss the flash of pain that flashed across Akane's face. Ranma then continued to tell Akane of his plans to break off all of the engagements but Akane was only half listening.
End Flashback
(He finally tells me he cares about me, A LOT he said, and now he's saying he doesn't want to be with me. Am I really that uncute, has he finally just given up? Stupid Jerk I can't believe him. No it's not his fault, In my mind I knew he would only put up with so much, but I never thought it would happen this soon. Why couldn't I just tell him how I felt bout him before, now it's too late. But the look in his eyes as he was telling me, the look of hope that I would agree with him, how could I not have. It won't be that hard will it? Well he did say that it was only going to last a little while right? Yeah a little while. He'll miss me too much! YUP! He sure will! I mean honestly I'm...she sat up... uncute, bad tempered, built like a brick, I can't cook, I jump to conclusions)
"Oh God" she whispered lightly "he'll never come back to me..."her voice trailed off and with that a single tear ran down her cheek as she lay back down and put her head in the pillow and cry herself to sleep.
