See you in the next world! (Part 11)
Akane and I are enjoying the sun quite a lot and it's awesome for me to actually have girl talk with AKANE! She is so far on Cloud 9, there is just nothing to get her of there for some time.
Satori and Akane have made up, which I am not necessarily happy about. He is still annoying the heck out of me, I just want to chuck him over a wall or something.
Ranma cannot keep his eyes off his fiancé in a bathing suit and he doesn't seem like he is even trying. I am enjoying my very own Ranma episode airing just for me.
I have told Ryoga to not tell anyone about the whole TV series thing, because it would only complicate things. That will be mine and Ryogas little secret. I try not to think about it, because I don't want Satori finding out.
Suddenly Kasumi jumps.
"Oh my, I've forgotten about lunch! We'll have to order something!"
"I'll call the Cat Café.", Nabiki says.
"Why not Ukyo's place?", Ranma asks.
"Why do you care, Ranma? Would you rather like Ukyo here than Shampoo? Why don't we just order both? Then I can leave you and your fiancés in peace and everyone can eat!"
"Oh, come on, Akane, don't start! I just feel more like Okonomiyaki, than noodles, that's all. It doesn't have anything to do with my fiancés!"
Akane frowns and crosses her arms.
"Ohh, come on.", Ranma says, teasingly. "Don't feel self-conscious. You know I don't care about the outside of a girl, that's why I'm here."
"You stupid jerk, how dare you! You seemed to care a lot about my body yesterday, when…" She cuts off and blushes.
Ranma grunts with laughter and walks over to Akane. Smiling, he tries to put his arms around her, but she backs away. "Don't touch me, you arrogant pervert!"
After that, the mood between them starts getting worse and Kasumi ordering from the Cat Café AND Ukyo's place doesn't really help.
Ryoga and me start smirking about them on the porch.
The waiting for the food takes longer than we thought. I sit down on the porch and think about Akanes words. Maybe it isn't that different from her situation…maybe I should start trusting Ryoga, I mean…he said he didn't care that much about Ranma and Akane…
"Penny for your thoughts." I hear from behind.
I turn and look into Ranmas face.
"Oh, I'm just day-dreaming…is Akane going to be okay?"
"Yeah, she'll be fine. That girl confuses me. One minute she's the sweetest angel on earth and the next she calls me a pervert and seems to hate me…you don't think…you don't think that…never mind."
"No, say it."
"That maybe…that maybe she's in love with some other guy?"
"What? No! That's silly, why would she be, you were flirting like mad for the last few hours."
"I know, but…it could be possible she's having doubts, right? Maybe that's the reason for those mood swings…I don't know, I'm a guy."
"Half of the time."
"Yeah…I'm sorry you had to find out like that the other day…though you didn't seem very surprised at the time. You didn't even ask about it." He looks at me, frowning slightly.
"Well, I…I, er…I've known lots of people with that curse. It's…er…pretty common from what I've seen."
Ranma shrugs, but doesn't lift his gaze. "So what's going on between you and Ryoga? I'd be happy if you took him off my hands…he's kind of been in love with Akane for some time now…"
"I know, I realized that. And you're jealous, aren't you?"
"No! Never! I just…I don't know, she's MY fiancé, you know?"
"Sure.", I grin.
Suddenly Ranma kisses me. On the lips, just like that.
