Akane sat in her room and paced in it. She bit her fingernails and looked out of the window constantly. She looked around the lavish room and studied it. All the furniture was a red velvet and deep mahogany was the only wood used in it. The walls and accents were also of the same color family giving it a rich, wealthy feel to the room. She would have liked it, if she wasn't being held against her will. The door opened slowly and a small, old man entered. Behind him, two taller men walked in carrying one large trunk.
"Master requests your presence at supper and brings you an array of formal wear to dress in. Supper will promptly being at 7 o'clock." He bowed. The two men set the trunk down and left.
"Tell him that I won't eat with him because my fiancée is on the way here to rescue me." Akane angrily spoke.
"I am unfortunate to hear that madam, I shall relay that message to Master." He bowed again and left her alone. She crossed her arms and felt a wave of fear ripple through her body. She lay down on the overstuffed, velvet couch and closed her eyes.
A large mass of bodies lay dead on the ground. Akane looked to her hands and she was covered in blood. She looked up and two figures stood over her.
"I can't believe all that blood." One said in a baritone voice.
"Yes, well, good thing that they are dead, for good now."
"Didn't take long to kill them. I hope we got them all."
"A shame if we missed some." Akane listened couldn't believe what they were saying.
"It was a little fun, too. Ready to go Henry?" One placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't touch me!" She screamed in fear.
Akane sat upright. Her breathing was heavy and her chest heaved for a few moments until she caught her breath. She wiped the sweat off her brow and her body relaxed. It must have been a dream, although everything felt real. The door opened and the same short man walked in.
"Master understands your confusion but you will not be brought food until you have gathered your wits and eat supper with him." His voice was a little harsh to Akane.
"Fine, then I'll starve." She crossed her arms over her chest.
"Suit yourself. How long has it been since your last meal, two days?" He asked with a cunning smile on his face.
"So? Ranma will be here soon and you won't have a master anymore."
"Oh, Ranma, is it? Well everyone must have their desperate hope." He said before shutting the door on her. Akane uncrossed her arms and sat on the bed. Throwing herself backwards, she lay down. She felt her stomach rumble but tried to ignore it. She didn't know how much longer she could go without food. She thought about Ranma and how selfish she had been to lock herself up, her own prisoner. And now that she was one, she wanted to tell her family that she was sorry, she wanted to tell Ukyo that she forgives her, she wanted to tell Shampoo off, and she wanted to tell Ranma...
She just wanted to see him again.
