Getting There
(Strange Behavior: Ch. 1)
Ranma walked in from the backyard in his girl-form, the rain had started pouring during his usual training.. He'd been working out all day to get a certain someone off his mind. The result? Didn't happen as planned. Ranma sighed.. and decided to go inside. Kasumi looked out from the kitchen and noticed this. She rushed upstairs and returned with a towel for the young martial-artist.
"Thanks, Kasumi," Ranma's girl voice replied as he took the towel, "Say, where's Akane?" he asked, curiously.
She watched as Ranma started drying off. It took Kasumi a moment to remember, and then it clicked.
"Oh, she went out some time ago.. She didn't say when she'd be back." she realized it was getting late and hoped her youngest sister was okay. Lately, Akane had been going out, not saying where she was going, and returning home. She'd go upstairs to her room without speaking so much as a word to anyone. It was worrying the whole household, especially Ranma. They'd all agreed that if things hadn't turned around soon, a meeting was in order.
As they spoke, Akane walked into the house in a short, red dress and a pair of black high-heels. She was stumbling and dripping with water. Ranma's eyes lit up and he reddened as he saw the wet dress cling to every curve he'd mocked that'd never been there. Akane's, now shoulder-length, hair dripped several drops down onto the floor. Akane was struggling to walk forward as the hic-upping set in.
Kasumi simply smiled.
"Oh! Akane! You're finally home!" her eldest sister cried cheeringly.
Akane shook her head around a bit, allowing stray water to fly all around. She stopped, looked at Kasumi, and slurred, "Soooo...ssleepyyy."
Ranma's eyes narrowed. Akane had gotten drunk, obviously. How she'd found her way home, he'd never know.
Akane headed for the stairs to her room and fell flat on her back.
"Akane!" Ranma yelled rushing to her and lifting her into his arms. She was soaked, barely wearing a thing, and was passed out. Her head was hanging out of his arms which were placed gently under her body. "Uhh, Kasumi, I'm taking Akane to bed.." upon saying this Ranma noticed a red place on her neck and gasped.
'How much has she had?' he mentally asked himself.
Kasumi watched as the boy's eyes drooped and he turned his head away from the sight of his fiancé's love-mark. She told him she'd was going to start the bath for Akane.
"What good is that ta know!?" he screamed, "Not like I can stand to bathe that tomboy!" he still couldn't get the thought off his mind that she may have done a few things with some other guy.. or maybe it'd been against her will? Who knows? He hated to admit it to himself, but he was jealous.. very jealous.
"At least leave her covered in a towel or two, then, okay?" she asked sweetly, "I'll have a talk with father regarding this situation tomorrow." she assured him putting a comforting hand on the sex-changer's shoulder.
"Oh.. and Ranma?" Kasumi looked up as Ranma was half-way up the stairs, "You're such a gentleman, you know."
Ranma turned beat red when he remembered how he'd confessed his feelings about Akane to Kasumi the day after the chaotic wedding. Kasumi closed her eyes and smiled an all-knowing smile while Ranma looked away and continued carrying his uncouncious fiance to her room.
So, there you have it! The other chapters will be longer. I want feedback!
