Chapter 1

The next day was just like any other day that the little town of Nerima has experienced frequently for the past two years, with Ranma and Akane making their way home from school. "Well at least the rain stopped, Ranma" Akane said looking to her fiancée as she walked alongside her, "Honestly, I don't know why you're so miserable."

Just before they came to the crossing, Akane stopped as Ranma walked in front of her, mumbling "Still got wet though," She said, reaching around to her backpack and pulling out a thermos. "Least I swiped this off the old man." She opened it and was about to raise it to pour the hot water over her head and change back into a boy, when it was knocked out of her hand by Nerima's resident pervert; Happosai.

"Afternoon, sexy!" he screamed, tipping the contents of the thermos onto the ground, before reaching into his left pocket. "I gotcha a present! How's about you model it for me?" he said pulling out a pink chiffon bra with lace cups, spaghetti string straps and a small diamante heart encrusted in the centre.

Ranma looked at the bra wielding old man in both disgust and defiance. "Get lost, old freak!" she protested fists clenched and itching for a fight, "I ain't wearing that! I'M A GUY!"

Ready to choke the old creep with said bra, Ranma was surprised to see a school satchel bounce off of Happosai's head, knocking him to the ground. "That's my bra!" Akane proclaimed, running over to the old man and re-acquiring her stolen property with a face, far redder than her fiancée's hair.

Watching this, Ranma began laughing "What would an uncute tomboy like you be doing with underwear like that?" She scoffed smacking her knee repeatedly. With a combination of rage and embarrassment, Akane picked up Happosai, swung him into the giggling redhead's direction and whacked her with him, sending both of them sky high into the horizon. "Jerk!" she said.

Later that evening, Akane was in her room, sat at her desk with her pet, P-Chan resting comfortably on her lap. Staring down at her algebra homework, but the last thing going through her mind was anything to do with equations. In fact the only thing dominating her thoughts was a snide remark, heard earlier that day.

"What would an uncute tomboy like you be doing with underwear like that?"

Hearing those words echo throughout her mind made her blood boil. And her heart ache.

It was two months since their encounter with Saffron at Jusendo and only one month since the fiasco of an attempt at getting married. Had all that time really passed by so quickly? To Akane, it only felt like yesterday since she admitted her true feelings toward Ranma. She turned towards the door and reminisced as she saw Ranma stood by it in her mind's eye. He was dressed in that black tuxedo, with a look of sheer shock on his face. Shocked that his parents had once again attempted to force the wedding on them so quickly, but more so that this time, it was Akane's idea.

It was at that time when she said that she had heard him say he loved her at Jusendo and she wanted him to confirm it. Of course Ranma being Ranma, he denied ever saying it but never exactly denied he actually did love her. But it was Akane who for once was honest.

"Well I sure don't remember saying that."

"Well I'm just as sure you did, so what difference does it make?"

Looking up at his owner, P-Chan noticed a tear forming in Akane's eye. Watching as it rolled down her cheek, he nestled into her lap and grunted, in order to get her attention. Looking down at her pet pig, Akane stroked his head and held him in her arms for a cuddle. "Oh P-Chan," she sniffed as she wiped the tears from her eyes, "I just know he loves me really. And he knows that I love him."

Turning to face her bed, Akane noticed the bra that had caused the whole conflict to begin with. Staring at it she smiled and then began to chuckle. Lifting his head up, P-Chan wondered what was so amusing.

"You know what's funny, P-Chan?" Akane asked lifting him up to her face as she smiled. "I actually bought that bra and some matching panties for Ranma to see on our wedding night."

Upon hearing that, a blushing P-Chan squirmed out of Akane's arms and ran out of the room, leaving Akane confused. I wonder what's wrong with him. She thought but then shrugged and got back to her homework. Oh well, back to Algebra.

"Ahh this is nice." Soun said as he sank further into the steaming waters of the furo and entered bliss of relaxation, "There's nothing like a good long soak." It was at this moment the bathroom door opened and a small black pig entered the room. Soun watched as the pig walked over to the furo, jumped inside and the transformed into a young muscular man, wearing a bandana.

Ryoga then grabbed a towel from the railing and walked out to find his clothes. Shrugging his shoulders, Soun continued to enjoy his soak as if nothing happened. "Yes there's nothing like a good long soak."

After finding his backpack and dressing into his clothes, Ryoga sat on the roof contemplating what Akane had said to him. Though she never knew that P-Chan and Ryoga were one in the same, those words still haunted him nonetheless.

"I actually bought that bra and some matching panties for Ranma to see on our wedding night."

"Dear sweet Akane," Ryoga said, looking into the stars with his head in his hands, "To think that you would waste your love on him so much and receive nothing in return. It's a travesty!" He then proceeded to punch the tiles in a fit of rage causing a rather large crack in the dojo roof. As the clouds in the sky began to gather, Ryoga looked up to see that it was starting to rain. Grabbing his umbrella from his satchel he opened it and climbed down in search of Ranma. "I'LL MAKE HIM PAY FOR THIS!" He shouted running towards the dojo entrance. "RANMA, PREPARE TO MEET YOUR END!"

Stood in front of his training dummy, Ranma closed his eyes and focused his ki. Mentally, he envisioned all of the vital points he was searching for on the dummy before unleashing his attack upon his targets. "Kachu Tenchin Amiguriken!" he said as his hands began to blur across the training dummy, rendering it into sawdust. "Heheh," He laughed wiping the dust off of his hands, "Guess I over did it a little."

After sweeping the remains of the training dummy up into a shovel, Ranma went outside to dump it when he was surprised to find it was raining. With icy rain taking it's affect on Ranma's body, changing him from boy to girl, she let out a slight shriek from the shock of the cold water. "Just my luck," she moaned, emptying the shovel off sawdust into the trash and running back of the dojo," Sure hope nobody heard that scream."

It was at this time, she heard someone's footsteps behind her. Turning to face him she proceeded to dodge a series of shuriken-like bandanas before flipping away to a safe distance. "Oh it's you, Ryoga." She said smiling before picking up a towel to dry her hair. "And here I was thinking I was in danger."

Enraged by Ranma's mocking of him, Ryoga leapt into the air and began to attack "Baksai Tenkatsu!" he screamed, launching himself into Ranma's direction. Dodging his attack easily, Ranma stared at Ryoga in bewilderment. "Hey what have I done this time?" she asked, as Ryoga moved in for another swing. "You know fine well what you've done, Saotome!" he said, with lefts and rights swinging in the redhead's direction. "You've made Akane cry for the last time!"

As Ryoga's fist moved towards Ranma, she dodged out of his way sending him crashing into the dojo wall, leaving a massive crack which made its way up to the ceiling, directly below where Ryoga punched a hole into the roof earlier. The hole had already started filling with rain water and now began to feel the strain as now a crack was also underneath it.

After finishing her homework, Akane was on her way to the furo for a bath, when she heard the commotion coming from the dojo. "What on earth is going on in there?" she asked before she heard a massive crash.

"Ranma!" she thought to herself, as she ran outside of the house and off to the dojo, "I hope he's alright."

When she got to the dojo, she found that, not only was Ranma fine, but she was also fighting with Ryoga, much to Akane's dismay. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING IN HERE!?" She shouted, stopping both of the combatants dead in their tracks.

"Akane?" they both said in unison, as the crack in the ceiling gave way releasing all of the water from rain down on top of them both. Ranma was already a girl so it didn't matter. Unfortunately, Ryoga wasn't so lucky.

Akane looked on in shock, as she watched Ryoga change from a young muscular man into her pet pig P-Chan. Watching this, Ranma was left slightly concerned for her rival. "Uh oh." she said. Emerging from the pile of wet clothes in the floor, P-Chan/Ryoga looked up to find Akane holding a broomstick in her hands and tightening her grip around it.

Gritting her teeth, she began to shake with rage. "Ryoga!" she shouted cocking the broomstick back, "YOU JERK!" She then started chasing the little black pig around the dojo, swinging the broomstick as hard as she could, until Ryoga jumped through the dojo doors and ran out of the courtyard and down the street.

Pig's out of the bag now. Ranma thought to herself as began retreating to a safe distance. Akane turned towards Ranma, still shaking as she dropped the broomstick and fell to her knees sobbing.

"Ak, Akane?" Ranma asked concerned for her fiancée. "Are you alright?" Resting her hand on Akane's shoulder, she knelt down to her height and tried her best to comfort her. "Look, I need to be honest about this, Akane." She said as she started to explain, "When me and pops first went to China, Ryoga followed us there and well, he was kinda knocked into a spring by panda being chased about by some girl."

Akane looked up as she listened to what Ranma was saying. "Couple months later, I found out the panda was pops and well, the girl was me, then just after getting curse he was almost eaten by the tour guide and by pops." Ranma said. Akane wiped her eyes before staring at Ranma. "So that's what Ryoga must have meant, when he said he'd seen hell, huh?" she said. Ranma nodded. "So why didn't you tell me anything about this?"

Ranma lifted her head and sighed. "It's not like I didn't want to," she said "But he kinda made me promise not to tell anyone. I did try and hint it a few times, but you never really noticed."

"You gonna be ok?" she asked as she began to stand up. Akane nodded and wiped the rest of her tears away. "I'll be fine." she said reassuring herself. "Just give him a few days, and he'll probably be coming back here to apologise." Ranma said "Either that, or he'll end up in Europe or somewhere."

Akane chuckled at Ranma's attempt at humour. "Yeah, that idiot needs a tracking device." she laughed. "I probably should've taken him to the vets to get micro chipped." The two girls laughed at Ryoga's expenses for several minutes before Akane headed for the dojo doors. "Well I'm gonna take a bath before I go to bed. Goodnight Ranma." she said before doing something very unexpected. She blew a kiss to Ranma.

Shocked at this, Ranma caught her kiss and looked at get hand. "Uh yeah, Goodnight Akane."
