Disclaimer: I do not own Ranma 1/2


"Uncute! Tomboy! No sex appeal!" Ranma put his fingers, stretched out his mouth and stuck his tongue out. Akane faced him, prepared to throw her school bag. "Big thighs!" Akane lifted her arm and started to move her arm in a forward motion. "Ugly!" Akane stopped in mid launch and placed her dropped her hand to her side. She turned her head towards the direction or the school and headed off. Ranma watched her walk, confused. He ran to catch up with her.

"Hey, what's up with you? Don't tell me a tomboy like you actually cares what a guy think. You hate men." Ranma leaned towards Akane but she turned her head. He tried to get a look at her face a couple more times, but she'd move her head every time. Finally, Ranma look at her face from beneath her. "Yo Akane." Akane shot her head up and glared at him.

"I HATE YOU RANMA!" Akane slapped Ranma across the face and walked away. Ranma stood there, shocked. Getting hit by Akane, no big deal. Flying through town after she hit me, normal, but still standing in the exact spot where she hit me? Something's wrong. Ranma thought. He looked in the direction Akane went and followed.


"Okay class! Everyone take theirs seat." Everyone looked to the front of the room to see Ms. Hinako standing there. They all mumbled and headed to their seats. When everyone was seated, began to talk. "Class, this morning I'll like to introduce everyone to a new student. Noah, would you please come in?" Everyone turned their heads towards the door to see the new student. When he entered, he scanned the room to take a look at his classmate. When he glanced at Akane, he smiled. Akane's cheeks turned a bright red and she looked down at her paper. Ranma, of course, didn't miss this and felt the urge to punch the guy.

"Welcome to Furikin High Noah." Said Ms. Hinako. "There's a empty spot behind Akane and beside Ranma. Would you two please raise your hand." Akane and Ranma did as asked and Noah sat down. When he did, Ranma glared at him. Noah didn't notice this due to being concentrated on the back of Akane's head. Akane stiffened in her seat, knowing that he was watching her. Finally, when the class was over, Akane quickly exited the classroom.

"Hey Akane!" Akane kept walking, not wanting to talk to the person calling out to her. "Akane! Stop!" Akane didn't even slow down for him.

"Go away Ranma!" She yelled.

"Hey! What did I d-" Ranma was cut short when Akane entered the girl bathroom. Ranma rubbed his head, trying to think what he did. He looked to his right and saw that Noah was walking towards his direction. When he was about a meter from Ranma, Noah stopped.

"Hey." He said.

"Um, hi." Replied Ranma.

"So, I heard you and Akane have a.. thing, huh?" Noah asked. Ranma, as a habit, denied it.

"Not like I asked for it! Our parents decided it! Not us!"

"Decided what?" Asked Noah. Ranma waved his hand.

"Nothing. Never mind. I definitely do not have a thing with that uncute tomboy." He replied. Akane, from the bathroom, balled up her hands in a fist.

"So, she's single?" Ranma glared at Noah.

"Well, I guess bu-" Ranma was cut short when Noah interrupted him.

"Great!" He exclaimed. "Have any idea where she is?" Ranma shrugged his shoulders and walked away. At that moment, Akane exited that bathroom.

"Hey Akane!" Akane turned around and greeted Noah with a smile. "I was wondering if you were doing anything tomorrow?" Akane thought for a moment, then shook her head no.

"Not that I know of, why?" She asked.

"I was wondering if you would like to do something?" Akane smiled and nodded her head yes. "Great!" Noah exclaimed, "How about we meet at that ice cream parlor tomorrow morning at 11?"

"Sounds good to me." Replied Akane.

"Great, see you tomorrow!"

"Yeah, see you." Noah turned around and waved goodbye. Akane returned the wave then headed to her next class.


"Akane!" Akane turned around and saw Ranma walking towards her. Akane stopped and smiled. Truth be told, she was looking forward for the date with Noah the next morning and wouldn't let Ranma ruined that.

"Hi, Ranma." She greeted. Ranma stopped and looked confused since he was assuming she was still mad at him. "What's up?" Akane turned around and continued towards their house.

"Uh, what did that Noah guy want?" Ranma asked. Akane shrugged her shoulders.

"Nothing. We're just going to hang out." Akane kept walking but Ranma became stiff for a moment. Akane felt the sudden change in his mood and stopped. "Is that okay, Ranma?"

"What? Oh yeah. I don't care." Ranma stuffed his hand in his pockets and passed by Akane. "Have fun" He mumbled.


The next morning, Akane got up around seven, went for a jog, then came home and took a bath. When she was finished in the bath, it was about nine. She changed into a pair of shorts and a loose shirt for now. Akane walked downstairs, and sat down at the dinner table. Slowly, everyone started to come in. Finally, when everyone was present in the room, Kasumi brought out breakfast.

"Dig in!" She cheered. Nobody questioned her and took their share of food. Ranma and Mr. Saotome were fighting, Mr. Tendo was reading his paper and Nabiki seemed to be lost in her world. Akane stood up and gathered her dishes when she was done. She brought them to the kitchen and washed them in the sink. When she entered the family room again, she smiled at Kasumi.

"Breakfast was great today, Kasumi." Complimented Akane. Kasumi nodded.

"But you barley ate anything, Akane." She replied.

"Sorry, I'm meeting with someone soon and we're having some ice cream." Akane exited the family room and walked to her room.

nnnnnnnnn

"I'm leaving!" Exclaimed Akane. She bent over and put on a pair of sandals. She tapped her foot twice then left the house. She was wearing denim shorts that went to her knees and a light baby blue blouse. Akane walked down the road and headed towards the Ice Cream Parlor.

At the Tendo household, Ranma walked out of his room and scanned the area. "Where's Akane?" Mr. Tendo looked at Ranma.

"Oh she's probably left to get some ice cream with Yuka and Sayuri." Mr. Tendo replied. Ranma thought for a moment.

"Really? I thought she was going with some new guy" Ranma chuckled at the word 'guy'. Mr. Tendo bolted his head up.

"And you're just letting your fiancee go around with other men?" He exclaimed. Ranma glared at him.

"Why should I care? She can do whatever the hell she wants." Ranma crossed his arms and exited the room, leaving Mr. Tendo crying. Ranma walked towards the front door, and left the house. He kept walking down the street, not paying attention to where he was going. When he looked up, he saw Akane and Noah sitting at a booth, each with ice cream, laughing. Ranma quickly found a mailbox to hide behind.

"So, Noah, where did you live before coming to Japan?" Akane asked.

"Um, I lived in several different places like the U.S.A, Canada and England." he replied.

"That's so cool!" Akane took a bite of her ice cream and smiled. Noah nodded his head. Ranma stood up from behind the mailbox started to walk towards them. Within two steps, he got splashed with water. Ranma looked up and she glared and the people in the top balcony. Ranma, now a she, looked down and a idea came into her head. She quickly went to retrieve and long wig and dress. She put them on then entered the Parlor.

"You cheating jerk!" She yelled. Ranma walked towards Noah. "I thought you were going out with me! Who's this?" Ranma pointed a finger at Akane. Akane stared at the random girl.

"Who are you?" Noah asked. Ranma pretended to look hurt.

"Who am I? Excuse me, but we've been dating for about" Ranma started to count her fingers then continued, "for about 4 weeks!" Noah looked at her confused while Akane looked at her suspicious.

"What?" Noah looked at Akane. "I swear I've never seen this girl before in my life!" Akane looked at him.

"Yeah, but I might have." Akane stood up and grabbed the girl's hair. Ranma immediately grabbed the wig.

"What are you doing you crazy girl?" She exclaimed. Akane tugged on her hair and the wig came off. A red pigtail was soon exposed.

"Hi Ranma." Akane said between her teeth.

"Hehehe." Ranma laughed awkwardly, "Who's Ranma?" Akane shook her head. She looked at Noah.

"I'm sorry, I have to go." She grabbed Ranma's pigtail and exited the store. When the store was out of sight, she stopped and glared at Ranma.

"If you didn't want me to go out with him Ranma, you could of just said so." Akane said. Ranma shrugged her shoulders.

"Psh. Why would I care?" She replied. Akane rolled her eyes.

"If you didn't care, why would you do what you just did?" Ranma stared off behind Akane and shrugged her shoulders again. Akane smirked. "You can get SO jealous."

"I was not jealous! Who would get jealous over you?" Ranma yelled.

"You tell me Ranma!" Akane poked her in the shoulder.

"How should I know? You're just an uncute tomboy!" Akane turned around.

"But I am not ugly." She replied quietly, but not so quiet that Ranma couldn't hear her. Akane walked towards her house. Ranma stood there for a moment. This time, Ranma smirked.

"Most definately not." She whispered. Then ran to catch up with Akane.
