Akane's perspective:

As the train screeched to a halt, I turned and saw Akito standing up. And not wanting to be left behind I followed him.

It was a 30 minute walk from the train station to his house. I really enjoyed that walk it was the fresh air that I needed to clear my mind. After all running away from home was not the smartest idea ever but I need some time to myself.

Anyway its not like I am never coming back, I will just when I get my head and heart straightened out. I know that that Ranma's probabley worried even though I hate to admit it over the years he has somehow become my best friend. That's all I can hope for anyway...

Well no need to get myself depressed now I will have time for that later.

As we entered the house I realized it was a really big house but had been decorated as if we lived in the Feudal era. It was oddly comforting in it's own way.

As we entered the main hall or whatever it was I saw a man coming down the hall. He was about 40 or so and he looked really kind and sweet. He had amber eyes that seem to shine with mischief.

" Hello son welcome back". He said in a very endearing manner. He then turned to me, "And who may you be miss" I may have been imagining it but I could have sworn his eyebrows wiggled suggestively.

"Oh uncle this is Akane Tendo, and I brought her as a student to learn wing-chun". He seemed nervous for some reason.

Then his eyes suddenly turned very serious and calculating. His look would have put Nabiki to shame. He seemed to size me up.

"Hmmm, Akito you know I don't take just anyone as my student".

" Yes I know uncle but at least give her a chance" I bet if I wasn't standing here right now he would been bowing and pleading.

Akito's uncle turned to me once again and looked straight into my eyes. It was uncomfortable it was as if he was seeing straight through me to my very core. Just when I was going to look away he beat me to it.

"Okay miss Akane, I will give you one chance. Come to the backyard tommorow at EXACTLY 7:00 a.m. Am I perfectly clear?"

Wow, I never expected such a kind looking man to be so strict...Scary.

"Yes sir, I'll try my best thank you".

Ranma's perspective:

"It has been 1 whole day! 1 WHOLE DAY THAT AKANE RAN AWAY!"

Damnit I should've stayed with her. Why did she run away? Did I hurt her that much? It was my fault that stupid Nabiki had to tell all the crazies to come and crash the wedding. Not that I wanted to marry that stupid tomboy anyway...

OH who am I kidding I wanted too. But I know that she can't possible feel that way for my right? Well akane isn't someone that would go through with a wedding just for the cure without a plan unless she didn't mind. Or maybe I'm wrong...

"UGHH I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WOMAN!". Please come back Akane, even though it's been one day I'm already worried about your clumsy butt. How can I be sure you didn't get kidnapped again.

Even though I searched all day for you yesterday I couldn't find you. Where did you go?...

"OH wait there is one place I haven't checked... THE TRAIN STATION!" I was just praying that you didn't even go there because that would mean that you really did leave.

As I was roofing hopping...

I felt a pang in my heart. Every time she leaves its like there is a void in my heart, a dark lonliness washed over me. I hate it when she leaves especially when I don't know where she is.

Damnit Akane why can't you ever talk to me and tell me what's wrong before just getting up and leaving. Don't you know that I really do care.

Akane:

Out of nowhere I felt a pain in my heart, like someone just pricked it with a needle. And suddenly I was washed with a sudden sadness and loneliness that I wanted to cry.

Why?...

Maybe, I should just ignore it because after I finish unpacking I can get to bed so I can wake up early tommorow.

My bed...I miss it. I mean this bed is nice and kind of weird because its one of those really old type of japanese beds. I though sleeping on the floor would be painful but no. Oddly enough it's quite comfortable.

I miss P-chan...Ranma. Wait I did not just think of that jerk. I was thinking about p-chan my cute little Ranma, WAIT that didn't come out right! My cute little p-chan. I am losing it! Ranma is certainly not cute, in fact he is a jerk for picking on my poor p-chan.

Well... he isn't always a jerk. In those quiet moments when no one interrupts he can be so sweet and caring I just want to kiss him. But he goes and ruins it with his BIG MOUTH!

"Ughh, If I keep thinking about him I will not get a wink of sleep. Even when he isn't here he's still bothering me."

"Stupid jerk... I hope your okay.." And with that last thought I felt sleep wash over me in its sweet serenity.
