Ranma and Maya went through the front food with a laughter that could be heard around 5 blocks.

Akane was sitting in the staircase, crying, with her knuckles stained with some blood. She looked at them. You could hear the pain in the sigh that followed.

"Ranma is late, where were you?"

"Akane, I'm sorry, wait!" And squinted his eyes. He was certain that he would feel a mallet crushing his head.

"We... were at the park, Akane-chan. He wanted to tried my food even though I told him it was horrible. So for not affecting too many people, or kill any you, I considered that he was the one that could come. And well it's not that late, is it? The sunset barely ended." Maya interrupted them.

No mallets, though. What's going on? Ranma thought regaining his pose, Why she is not hitting me, she's really mad?

"You left at 9 in the morning, Maya-chan. Don't tell me that it was just because he wanted to try your food" Akane said enraged at the girl with violet eyes.

"You are mistaken. I never said it was only because of that. Yes, we ate that morning, yet we were engaged in a conversation for hours." Maya glancing at Ranma and smiling about all they talk that day.

"I see" Akane hiding her watery eyes with her bangs. She ran upstairs to her room and slammed the door.

"Akane..." Ranma whispered slightly, he was worried.

"Go and talk to her..." adviced Maya.

"No, I can't talk to her right now." Ranma shook his head. I'm too confused to talk about my feelings.

"Fine. Do as you wish, Good night" Maya smiled, "And Ranma, thank you for this wonderful day"

"No, Thank you, Maya-kun" Ranma smiled her back, watched her go upstairs. He frowned as he remember his fiancée. Went upstairs and instead going to his room, he knocked on Akane's door.

"Go away, Baka!" Akane yelled.

"I need to talk to you..." said Ranma.

The door was opened.

"What?" she yelled at him ready to slap him. She stopped her hand for a second but slapped him after all.

"What was that for?" said calmly Ranma without touching his cheek. Regardless of the violence, he felt some sort of guilt. Hence, he thought he deserved that slap.

"Liar! Baka! You lied to me! You said that you would changed after that kiss" yelled Akane at the top of his lungs.

"Haven't I?" Ranma asked sarcastically.

Akane tried to slap him again but he grabbed his wrist before she could swing.

"I believe that I don't insult you anymore or hurt you anymore."

"Yeah! Because you are going out with that fucking gaijin bitch!"

"Don't insult Maya-kun. She has done nothing wrong." Ranma said this slightly mad.

"Nothing? Just confessing her love to you this morning!"

"Were you spying at us?" said a very surprised Ranma. How is it possible that I didn't noticed her presence?

"What if so?" Akane threatened.

"Akane... we are not together. We are just friends. And for the for first time I have a person that I can talk to and be completely honest to. And it's obvious that she thinks that to, since she doesn't trust anyone" Ranma said as calmly as he could, his fist was clinching but he kept dominant his sincerity towards her. "I'm not lying to you, at least not anymore, and I don't want to lie to you anymore. But I can't talk to you about this in this moment, I'm really confused about my life right now" Ranma unconsciously was pushing Akane against the wall. She was scared, she has never seen Ranma so mature and serious in her life.

"But you said that you loved me" repproached Akane in tears.

Ranma finally lost his patience.

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!

I was out of it, with no energy, and with the guilt trip and grief that you died because you saved me twice in that fight. I have no idea when I told you that I love you, or any of the words that you said during and after the fight, I wasn't even aware of my thoughts. And because of that phrase you accept to get married with me? But what about of the grudges that we've held. Marriage is not that easy. And we talk about it as thought is stolen candy. You died on me there. Of course I was driving insane." Ranma said with watery eyes.

Suddenly, Ranma looked at her eyes with a long passionate pause. And almost violently, he pressed his lips against hers. Akane was confused, and hated the inexperience in that subject...but she still tried to correspond that kiss, nonetheless. She wasn't used the fast, almost monstrous movement of his tongue and lips. He held her waist a harsh grip, both hands wanted to merge with her hips. Ranma... you are hurting me... She slightly pushed him away, and raising her voice because of the rage she asked him "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?". And Ranma looked away, closed his eyes and replied "Akane... I'm sorry... I... I shouldn't have done that."

Akane moved his chin to make him face her again. Looked at him directly to his eyes. His look was feel with guilt, as though he has betrayed someone.

"How? How is it possible that she could change our lives so much?" asked him.

"I don't know... But we'll soon find out. I need to clear all my doubts" said Ranma.

"So if you choose her, are you going to finish our engagement?" Akane asked furious.

"It's time make my own decisions about on my life. I'm tired that everyone wants to manipulate my fate" Ranma finished saying this with determination and closed her roomdoor behind her.

Akane felt on her knees... crying.

------------------------------------

"No trace of Naraku" stated Miroku.

"Shall we rest in this village?" suggested Sango in hopes that InuYasha would accept.

"Rest! I'll look around and look for hints" said InuYasha.

Whoa! he's not protesting! Sango thought. "Houshi-sama, do you think he's still mourning?" she whispered

"Perhaps" Miroku said. Kagome heard their whispered conversation. I need to talk to him about Kikyo... and us Kagome thought as she was searching for the hanyou.

"There nothing suspicious of hints of Naraku around here" said Inuyasha to himself. "Where had he gone? Kuso!"

"InuYasha..."

"Kagome... I can't get a trace. Is as though he disappeard from the Earth again." said as he finished sniffing the air.

"Inuyasha. Are you okay?"

"Keh! this scratches will me gone my tomorrow. " said InuYasha proudly.

"No I mean, are you okay? What happened to Kikyo..."

InuYasha interrupted her harshly. "KIKYO was important in my life. But you are as well, Kagome... I'm fine. But I can't talk to you about this. I don't want to hurt you. But I found someone that finally understands exactly what I feel."

"Who is whom you talked to? When? Miroku-sama?"

"She lives in your time."

Sheeeeeee???? Did is great! Great, great, great!

"Was it Mama?" Kagome asked knowing that is wasn't the right answer.

"You don't know her. Actually, I don't even know her name. Her her was black as raven's feathers long, like you. Yet I would never forget her. Her eyes are unique.."

"Really? Why?" Kagome asked jealousy.

"They were violet"

"Violet?"

...Masaka!
