Keeping my word, as soon as I saw 1st review I immediately created the next chapter.

Aren't I a good girl?

I would like everyone to know that I'm new with this kind of stuff, so comments are helpful to me as encouragement.

It makes me wanna write. ^_~ I hope you'll enjoy. Please continue...

Chapter 2: Psyche's Task

"Ryoga! You're back!"

And he didn't get lost. Good thing that ninja dog accompanied him.

"Akane agreed to go out with me! Thank you for that advise!"

I was right on time when I shot Ranma and Ukyo with an arrow. It's nothing permanent but still a good strategy of letting Ranma get out of the way. Akane was about to ask him out, I'm sure of it… but because Ryoga was there beside her. Well, I guess she decided to go out with him. Somehow, I feel bad that she saw Ranma asked another girl out. Good thing Ryoga was present to mend her heart. Hihihi Without her noticing, she was already laughing by herself looking crazy. Ryoga observes, a bit confused on her actions *sweatdrop* "Ugh... Excuse me?" referring to her, she snaps out from such behavior and averted her gaze to the boy next to him.

"I'm happy for you Ryoga. However, it will be better if you plan your date well." Taking a piece of paper in her pocket, she started to write some useful tips and 3 things to remember when dating Akane.

"First of all," she began, "don't get too excited when out with Akane. Remember what happened with your last date with her?"

"When?" He tries to remember. *refer to Season 3 Episode 21. Ryoga's Miracle Cure! Hand Over That Soap*

"You were too aggressive! I'd say you're such a pervert."

"What?!" astonished with the accusation he tries to redeem himself, "Hey! That's unfair! It's not true!" *sweatdrops* she frowns with this.

"Oh really?" trying to defend her point as she tease him, "You actually made her run for her life because you got crazy. You looked like a stalker back then." raising an eyebrow she gave her opinion, "--very bad for your image." swinging her fingers from left to right.

"Why, you!!" though offended, he knows she was right. "Fine." he finally said keeping his cool.

"Second, Focus! I know its hard but try not to Day Dream when you're around with her, you don't want to weird her out!" Trying to recall the events she blurted out, "I think it did started out that way..."

"Weird her out?" the boy said with such confused look, "Yeah..." she confirmed with an evil grin, "Thinking about some ecchi stuff or maybe the future with her, c'mon, you make yourself look funny. It's a turn-off." Ryoga only looked away annoyed. She laughs at him.

"Third, remember to bring this-" handing him some kind of gadget, "it's not an ordinary map." With a blink of an eye he grab what was given to him and tried it out. "Using this technology, you'll be able to detect where you are and where you should go. I'll teach you how to use it." I wouldn't get lost anymore. Is that it?! He thought to himself, "I just hope you listen well when I explained." she mentioned a bit worried that it still wouldn't work.

"Wow thanks! You're a great friend!"

"I know its rude to watch the two of you together, so I'll give you privacy. Just push this button if you need any help and I'll be there for you. Okay?!" He obediently nods at this.

"Now… I'll help you plan your date." but before she can continue, he gave him a very curious look and asks her, "Why are you doing this? Why are you being so nice to me?"

Surprise that he only asked now, she laughs and answers, "Hahaha! You noticed?! Ryoga, I understand how you feel… Even I want to be with the person I love.." Only if I can make you and Akane fall in love. "Not to mention, you help me out when I was in trouble." putting her hand on his shoulder she leans closed and whispers to him, "Now, in order to create a successful plan, let's learn from your past experiences. Will it be fair for you to share MORE of your story?"

"No, thanks." he answered with no hesistation and pull back from her.

"What! Oh Ryoga! Pleasee!" she begged giving him puppy dog eyes, "I really would like to help you out…"

Having second thoughts, "Well.. I guess I can trust you." I just hope she doesn't start to make fun of me - AGAIN.

"You know Ryoga," she began sipping her tea, "Psyche was not allowed to see Cupid. He did warn her that if she did, he will not show himself ever again. It is the condition set within their relationship. Psyche broke the rules and dealth with the consequence."

"They did have a happy ending." He remarked.

"That's right!" surprise with his awareness, "after all the hard work she did... just to see him again..."

"Just wanna let ya know," giving him a big smile, "don't be discourage with the coming date, with all your hard work - you might just let her say 'Yes'."

"Yes to what--?"

"To be your girlfriend." She winks.

At the back of her mind, that Psyche is me. I need to see my true love again... and to do that I have to be your cupid so you can meet yours. The rules: No Bow & Arrow -- for you or Akane. Let the challenge begins.

To be continued...

Authors Note:

The next chapter will be Ryoga & Akane's POV on what happened the day he asked her out. Originally, I don't intend the lady to use any arrow to let Akane fall, but for the first review I got... I may have the change of heart of who she'll end up with. I do like RanmaXAkane pairing as well.

Let's see. I'll update as soon as I can. =D If I feel that no one seems interested, I may not post the next chapter.

PLEASE REVIEW!
