A Few Steps Away

One-Shot

…..

"Akane!" Ranma yanked her arm forcefully, trying to stop her. Akane turned around and pulled her arm sharply, glaring at the pigtailed boy.

They were in the capital of Nerima Ward with full of crowded people, trying to buy something. It was so cold today that both of them have to wear their warm jacket.

"What? You thought I'm going to watch you flirting with your "girlfriend"?" She spat and continued walking with her nose high in the air.

"Ukyo's not my girlfriend! Look, we're just hanging out under the tree! She bought me some chocolates so I guess I could take one bite…not that I managed to.." He mumbled. Akane stoped and turned around, a giving him her glare again. "Besides, you know that she's not my type." He changed the subject.

He caught up with her, walking next to her.

Akane stopped walking and pulled her blue jacket closer, her school bag in her hands. "Who would believe that?" And Akane stormed away with a jealous face.

Ranma sighed and walked in the opposite way. That is until he saw Ukyo. "Ucchan!"

………

"That baka, he doesn't have to eat one and bring those stupid chocolates with him. Doesn't he knows it's Valentines day?" Akane whispered to herself, walking on the moon bridge. The left of the bridge was stairs and the right is a flat ground. Akane was walking on the flat ground of the bridge. She was used to walking on the flat one instead of those stairs. She liked the bridge so much. It wasn't far away from the city. Her mom used to take her here when she was little, she said true lovers were united here.

So, every year in Valentines Day or any other day, lovers would come here and do such things like throwing a coin in the lake underneath the bridge, kissing when the moon was full and many other things.

Akane sighed and stopped walking. I wonder when will I be next?

Akane blinked surprisingly when her mind was thinking about Ranma and hit her head with her hand several times. "Akane, don't let him take over your mind!" She shook her head and continued to walk.

"Oi, Akane-chan!" Ranma's voice echoed. Akane turned around. She was already a few steps away from him. He gave her a friendly smile.

"What do you want, Ranma?" She raised her eyebrow coldly.

He looked at his left with a smile and said, "I returned the chocolate to Ukyo already. I guess I deserve 5 steps down." He said, putting his hands in his jacket's pocket.

Akane scuffed. "You're not going to do that?" She look coolly at him but inside she was happy.

"Okay, if I say no more dates to Shampoo and Ukyo…10 steps?" He gave her a smile, looking excited as ever.

"You dated them?" She spat, a forceful glare at him. He inhale, his smile still there and skipped down.

"What if I say I love you and ask you to marry me?" He asked her.

"What?" She whispered shockingly, her mind was blank. He chuckled and next thing you know, he was kneeling in front of her.

"Akane, I love you. Will you marry me?" She stayed quiet, wide eyed. He laughed hysterically. She snapped and furrowed her eyebrow. "What's so funny?"

"You do know its April Fool right?" He smiled. "What? No, it's Valentines Day, baka!"

"Yeah, I know but I can trick you anytime, anywhere, any thing." He smirked.

"Go back then! That wasn't fair!" She slapped his shoulder with a pout.

"No way! Ranma Saotome never goes back. He always walks forward." He wrapped his arms around her neck. "Let's go home!"
