'Did I mean it?'Ranma thought as he watched Akane through the trees leafs sit there for a while before she entered the house. 'Why did I do it if I didn't mean it?! She kissed me back, did she mean it?' Ranma grabbed his head in confusion then a weird thought crossed his mine. 'She has soft lips…' He smiled softly and touched his own lips which to him felt kind of chapped and rough compared to Akane's soft lips. '…she's going to kill me.' Ranma sighed leaning back on the tree; then slowly closed his eyes to sleep.

"Wake up moron." Rantome stated poking Ranma in the forehead hard but still Ranma slept. "Damn it seriously?" Rantome sighed thinking of something better to wake him up. "Ranma…Akane pissed at you."

"OH SHIT! AKANE DON'T KILL ME THE KISS WAS-huh?" Ranma shot up seeing rantome smirking."You seriously suck."Rantome stuck out his tongue; then jumped down from the tree.

"Come on Breakfast it ready."

"I'm coming." Ranma sighed jumping down as well and sat down at his normal spot at the table, he watched nervously as Akane sat down next to him without a word. 'She's mad.'

"So. Akane what happened to you last night?" Nabiki questioned looking at Akane. "We pretty much partied without you."

"I-I went to sleep early." Akane lied twirling the necklace on her neck.

"Oh." Nabiki nodded.

"Oh Akane." Kasumi questioned."Where did you get that?"

"Huh?" Akane followed Kasumi's eyes to her necklace; the one Ranma had given her. Akane blushed; as Nabiki gave her a weird look then smirked.

"I love your necklace." Nabiki smirked.

"Huh?"

"Oh nothing." Nabiki laughed; waving it off.

"You…" Ranma smiled watching her blush.

"I-I have to go bye!" Akane jumped up running out the door.

"Hey wait up Akane!" Ranma jumped up following her; long after they were out of sight Nabiki started to laugh.

"What is it Nabiki?" Kasumi questioned.

"You know the symbol on Akane's necklace?" Nabiki answered.

"Yes the Chinese character?"

"It means Everlasting love." Nabiki laughed. "Poor Ranma most likely didn't even ask what it meant!"

"Oh dear." Kasumi giggled. "Should we tell them?"

"Nope." Rantome laughed walking into the kitchen. "We learn it eventually."

"So Rantome what did you and Kanna do last night?" Nabiki laughed causing Rantome to blush.

"N-Nothing!"

"Oh really now?" Nabiki smirked. "Your room is right next door…And I have pictures, video and recording to say otherwise!"

"Y-You're kidding!" Rantome yelped.

"982457468 yen and I'll give you all I got." Nabiki smirked,

"You're kidding!" Rantome blushed taking out his wallet."Do you take I-owe-you's?"

"Hey Akane wait up!" Ranma yelled catching up to her; Akane stopped letting him catching up."Where are you going?"

"Hm…I don't know." Akane laughed now thinking about it.

"How about we…do something?" Ranma blushed.

"Like?"

"Walk around?"

"Alright?" Akane laughed as Ranma walked with her.

"WHERE AM I NOW?!" Akane looked up to the voice and noticed who was there.

"Ryoga?" There Ryoga stood back to the couple worn out and tired.

"I'm must have died cause I can hear an angel calling my name."

"You're not dead you idiot you're in Nerima." Ranma snapped.

"AH! I hear Ranma I must be going to hell!" Ryoga screamed then earned himself a punch to the back of the head."Ouch?"

"Hey Ryoga." Akane waved to Ryoga as he turned to them.

"Akane!" Ryoga smiled then looked confused. "What are you doing in America?"

"But-"Akane was about to answer but Ranma cut her off.

"Hey idiot you're not in America!"

"…But-"Ryoga looked confused.

"You're in Nerima." Ranma hissed.

"Oh…I must have taken a wrong turn." Ryoga thought. "But I'm glad I got to see you Akane."

"Great to see you too Ryoga." Akane smiled sweetly.

"Well if you excuse us…" Ranma stated grabbing onto Akane's hand and pulling her away.

"Wait…Where are you going?" Ryoga questioned.

"Away." Ranma snapped.

"H-Hey don't leave me!" Ryoga cried.

"Wait Ranma." Akane spoke softly. "He'll get lost let's just bring him home; we weren't doing anything important anyways and afterwards we can-."

"Fine YOU can bring him home." Ranma snapped out of jealousy.

"What's wrong with you?"

"You being all nice to Ryoga's my problem." Ranma snapped.

"Why are you acting so weird?"

"It's nothing!"

"I get it…Your jealous of me." Ryoga smirked."That Akane rather help me than hang with you."

"What I didn't say that!" Akane looked confused; but the boy's weren't listening.

"I'm not jealous." Ranma hissed.

"Oh really?" Ryoga smirked."Come on Akane let's go."

"But-"

"Hell no!" Ranma snapped grabbing Akane and pulling her behind him."She's mine Ryoga."

"Yours?" Ryoga snapped angrily. "She's not yours!"

"That's it I'm going home." Akane sighed and walked away before anyone noticed.

"Akane let's go-huh?"Ryoga looked around noticing Akane wasn't around.

"She left you moron!"

"I can tell!" Ryoga snapped."Ranma you have all your other fiancées why can't you just leave Akane alone?"

"You seen Rantome and Kanna." Ranma stated. "We are meant to be-"

"-But I have also seen you can change fate!" Ryoga snapped."There's still a chance."

"I won't let you have that chance-"

"-I'll just tell Akane how I love her." Ryoga stated. "I love her enough to tell her…do you?"

"W-What do you mean?"

"We are rivals." Ryoga smirked. "All's fair in love and war."

"Who said I love A-Akane?" Ranma blushed.

"Who said you don't?" Ryoga smirked.

"I'm saying I don't!" Ranma snapped.

"Then you won't have any objections to me telling her my feelings."

"You don't have the guts."

"Oh really?" Ryoga shrugged with a smile turning to walk away. "I think I do."

"Oh no you don't!" Ranma grabbed Ryoga who blocked him.

"I thought you didn't care?"

"I do!"

"Hm?" Ryoga smirked. "I thought you didn't like Akane?"

"I don't I just don't want her to be crushed by an over strong creep!"

"Hey grow up; no need for name calling!" Ryoga smirked. "That's why Akane doesn't like you."

"Akane likes me fine."

"Yeah right." Ryoga shook his head. "Every time I see you two you're always arguing."

"So?"

"Do you think Akane…Oh forget it." Ryoga shook his head turning he walked away."I'm going to go see Akane."

"Alright see you in a week!" Ranma waved watching Ryoga walk in the wrong direction.

"Now…Where is the tendo's again?" Ryoga mumbled as Ranma jumped away back towards the house when he reached the house he noticed Akane sitting peacefully on the rock besides the pond reading some book. Ranma softly jumped behind her trying to not make a sound as he readied to scare her; right before a 'boo' escaped his lips Akane spoke.

"So are you two done arguing yet?" This caused Ranma to freeze in his place then laughed.

"How did you know I was behind you?"

"It's not the first time you scared me." Akane sighed looking up to him she closed her book."Who would mind explain this morning?" Her face was serious that made her look very mature as she stared into his eyes.

"Uh…No?" Ranma laughed nervously placing his hands in his pockets.

"Fine you want to explain the kiss?"

"What about the kiss?"

"What do you mean 'What about the kiss?' I'm asking you why you kissed me."

"Hm…I don't know." Ranma shrugged earning a look from Akane who sighed once again then got up.

"Well figure it out." Akane looked back at him then walked into the house. Ranma was left to his thoughts and before long was drenched in them; he sighed as the wind started to pick up.

"Figure it out huh?" Ranma scratched the back of his head before walking into the house.

"Oh Ranma." Kasumi smiled. "I was about to call you in. Dinners ready."

"Alright." Ranma nodded as he walked towards the dining room; but Akane's reading caused him to stop.

"What's this P-Chan a letter?" Akane started to read after taking the letter from the pig's mouth. "Dear Akane…I have loved you for a long time…and have wanted- Hey."

"This is just trash Akane."Ranma sighed crumpling up the paper and throwing it over his shoulder.

"What gives you the right to do that?" Akane snapped but Ranma wasn't listening.

"Hey Ryoga." Ranma gave him a dirty look as the pig squealed. "How did you manage to find your way?"

"His P-Chan not Ryoga." Akane snapped. "And are you listening to me?"

"Hey Kasumi you know how p-Chan got here?"

"Helloooo!" Akane hissed when Ranma ignored her again.

"I brought him here." Kasumi smiled. "Poor p-Chan was lost." Ranma sighed angrily as sat down next to the pissed Akane.

"So what's for dinner?" Ranma questioned before a plate smashed on his head."Ouch…What's that for?"

"NOT LISTENING!" Akane breathed angrily then got up."Forget it I'm going to my room!" Ranma watched as she quickly left the room his eyes followed her.

"Figure it out huh?" Ranma mumbled shaking his head.

"What was that Ranma?" Kasumi questioned as Ranma got up.

"Excuse me." Ranma walked past them and out the door.

"What's wrong with that boy?" Genma questioned eating more than his fill.

"Who knows?" Soun shrugged also eating more than his fill as Kasumi sighed taking her first bite of her food. Soft sounds of crying could be heard in the hall from Akane's room as she sat on her bed; crying her eyes out.

"Ranma…you jerk!" Akane cried throwing a pillow which slammed against the door; as she wiped her tears away. The door opened causing Akane to look up; seeing Ranma walk in and close the door. "Get out!" Ranma didn't listen as he made his way to her bed; she back into the wall."Stop!" Ranma sat crawled onto her bed coming closer soon they were so close if he got any closer they would bump noses. "I hate you!"This caused Ranma to pull back a bit taken back by what she said; Akane closed her eyes looking away. "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!!"

"…Hey…" Ranma spoke softly that Akane almost didn't catch it."Shut up." Ranma leaded forward capturing her lips; this time without hesitation she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him closer.

"9th bead." Rantome stirred from his sleep when his bracelet glowed causing him to wake. He looked to his beautiful wife who laid beside him snuggled into his warmth. He took a deep breath then started to match his breathing to hers and slept followed.

"So…" Akane spoke breathing hard as they both lay holding each other after their kiss.

"So?"

"This kiss?" Akane questioned looking up at him. "What does it mean?"

"Just me figuring things out." Ranma smirked kissing Akane on the forehead as Akane smiled.

"Are we technically boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"I don't know…I guess?" Ranma shrugged."I guess the old men were right."

"Oh god. If they find out we are dating-"

"We'll never hear the end of it!" Ranma sighed then the teens had an idea."You thinking what I'm thinking?" Akane nodded.

"Let's be a Secret couple!" Akane laughed when the teens spoke at the same time then tried not to be too loud.

"It's perfect! The idiots won't get a fat head; we won't get killed (more than normal) over each other and It could be our dirty little secret." Akane winked with a giggle.
