Hey every one Actoz here with the final installment of this story. Thanks for all of the support for this story.I was surprised, to say the least, at just how good this story did. I didn't expect it, and I'm truly sorry for not posting anything for so long. To be honest there is no excuse. But if there is a story that you would like to see me write either review this story with it or you can pm me with it. Well, you didn't come here so I could ramble, so on with the story! Also thank you to all of my reviewers. I actually used one of the things someone said in the story. Special thanks to them.

" A...Akane..." Ranma stuttered, shocked by the appearance of the woman he still cared for.

Like Ranma, she too, had changed in the last year. Her hair was long again, rivaling kasumi in length. Her body hadn't changed notably, but she had grown a coupe of inches in height, now standing just under Ranma.

" Ranma, I . . . Why? " Akane stood there, tears swelling up in her eyes.

" I'm sorry,I didn't know you were here with Ryoga, he's in the jail right now, I didn't mean to hurt him too bad but I knocked him unconscious." Ranma looked around, trying tofind something other than her to look at. He couldn't stand to see the pained expression on her face.

" Tell me, why did you. . ." She stopped talking, more tears filling her eyes. Rama stepped forward, reaching forward to comfort her, but as he touched her she looked up and all but yelled " why did you leave me Ranma! I needed you, I wanted you, and then you were gone, do you know how much that hurt! How could you do that to someone you loved! " she began to cry harder. Ranma instinctively wrapped his arms around her, allowing her too cry on him.

" I love you too dummy." Ranma froze, his jaw drooping to what she said. He opened his mouth, only to close it and hug Akane harder, moving her body even closer. He breathed in her scent, the smell that he had missed ever so much. He turned his head down and planting small kisses on her head. Akane looked up. Her cheeks turned a scarlet red in the closeness the two were, a closeness she intended to evaporate. She leaned in her lips meer inches from his, both slowly moving towards else each other. . . .

" Just kiss already! ! ! " three voices yelled out, startling the two. Rama looked over at the three officers, practically growling.

" Last time I leave this damn thing open," Ranma slammed the wooden door shut. He sighed and banged his head against the door. Out from behind him he heard a laugh, another thing he missed turned swiftly, looking at her," what's so funny? "

" There's always just something right? I don't think we can have one nice moment without the whole universe going after us." Akane smiled warmly beforewalking into Ranma's kitchen," so when are you coming home? " she asked, opening his fridge looking for some form of subsistence.

" Oh I'm sorry, are you hungry? I can cook up some chicken teriyaki ramen if you want," he walked over to her, looking her over.

" No, hey, where's your bathroom? " Ranma pointed down next to his room and Akane made her way down the hallway.

Ranma waited for Akane to return, thinking over what had just happened. The girl he had card so deeply for literally walked through the door back into his life and told him she cared for him in the same way he loved her. He felt like an idiot. Nabiki told him Akane was looking for him, so why would she go looking for him unless she cared about him as much as he did for her. He looked down towards the bathroom, noticing his bedroom door was partially open. Walking down and looking inside he found Akane looking at at the picture on his dresser and the scarf that was sitting inside his top was the scarf that she had made him for Christmas.

He walked behind her, wrapping his arms around Akane. He kissed her neck and whispered in her ear," I missed you so much tomboy. It's been far to long." She rubbed her head on his neck, before walking to his bed laying down.

" I'm going to bed Ranma," Akane took of her shoes as Ranma went towards the door

" I'll be in the living room ok? " he tried to leave but Akane yelled for him to stop.

" No, now that we're finally together again you're not leaving me. will you stay? " Akane looked at Ranma with eyes full of hope." Please? "

" Of course," He went over to her, climbing into the bed himself. He wrapped his arm and kicked his boots off. She snuggled up to him, and they coded their eyes, both more content them they had been any time in this past year. Ranma smiled, knowing that even if all the loneliness started from a simple note that he wrote a year ago, that with her here now, everything was finally over.

The end!
