"Owww!!"

Ranma moaned in a painful tone as he tossed and turned over his futon. His tummy again made a loud rumbling sound as he clutched his stomach tightly to ease some pain. He closed his eyes and greeted his teeth as he desperately tried to suppress the pain he was feeling at that moment.

"Oww!! It's gettin' worse!"

"Oh honestly, Ranma! Stop whining like a five years old baby!"

"I AM a five years old baby, do ya have any problem with that!" Ranma moaned out loud and replied heatedly, "Oh! This is a living hell!"

Akane growls annoyingly and loudly shuts the door behind her.

"You are such a jerk! I don't know why I thought to come here to give you some help.."

She said moodily as she started walking towards his futon and sat on the side of his foot..

"Jeez... The main problem came to give me a solution.."

Ranma moaned in a painful voice..

"EXCUSE ME!! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!" Akane asked while balling her fists tightly.

Ranma only moaned on his reply as he turned to face her side. Akane sighs sympathetically when she saw his sweat filled face as she asked him,

"Is it that bad, Ranma?"

Ranma nodded and moaned in pain..

"But why did you eat that thing, Ranma?"

"Ya cooked it, ain't ya?" He asked her in a shaky tone as a matter of fact as he laid his palm over his face..

"Yes! But I clearly remember that I didn't ask you to eat it this time!"

"Then why did ya cook it then,tomboy?" He asked in a irriked tone.

Akane slapped her own forehead and said in a tired tone,

"You are such a baka! Yes, I was trying to make something today but as usual it didn't turn out the way it should be! That's why I kept it there to cool it down a bit so that I could empty the pot. But I had to attend a phone call that's why I left it on the counter! I didn't want anyone to have it, dummy! Why did you eat it anyway? You know I stopped bothering you to try my cooking for a long time!"

Ranma grumbled and closed his eyes.. That's the exact reason why he tried her food today in the first place. It's been almost a year since she last cooked for him. And after coming back from China, she never once tried to cook. He was scared that she had lost all her interest in cooking for him. That's why when he saw her preparing to cook something after months of waiting, he couldn't hold back his excitement. He knew that it must be toxic or worse poisonous, but still, Akane cooked it for him, this reason alone is more than enough for him to make him engulf the whole pot alone. She is right, she didn't told him to try it, and as she said, she went to attend a call after making this. But in his extreme excitement, he couldn't wait for her to tell him to try it and he eat a big portion of it. Honestly, he can't blame her for this. This is his fault, not hers. But that doesn't mean he had to admit it in front of her. He moaned again in pain making her whimper too as she said in low sad tone,

"I am sorry, Ranma! I shouldn't have made it in the first place!! Seriously, I am so baka! Why did I even try it!"

"It's not yar fault.. It's mine.." Ranma mumbled softly.

"Pardon?" Akane asked in a surprised tone.

"Never mind!!" He sighs as he opens his eyes and peeks at her, " Tell me something, Why did ya suddenly stop cooking, tomboy?"

"Me?" Akane asked as she saw him nodding. She smiled and said, "Well, because.. I don't want to make anyone sick anymore! I stopped it a long time ago, you know about that.. Then why are you asking me now?"

"Don't ya want to cook for me anymore..?" He again mumbled softly.

Akane sighs and said in a warm tone,

" After today, I don't think I will ever cook for anyone anymore, Ranma. I took all the precautions today and made sure to measure everything correctly. After all this, if it turns out to be this toxic, then I think I should stop trying to do it..!"

Ranma moaned again, making her flinch as well. She pulled out something from her pocket and said,

"I bought you some more medicine, Ranma.. I am sure it will help.."

Ranma shook his head and whispers tiredly,

"Nah! I took enough medicines already.."

"Don't deny it.. I went to Dr Tofu and he gave it to me.. I am sure it will cure you soon.. Now come.."

Akane curled towards his pillow and sat beside him. She took a glass of water from the side and helped Ranma up to a sitting position to help him to take the medicine. After drinking the water, he hastily laid back down, but instead of laying back down on the pillow, he laid his sweaty head over Akane's warm lap. He inhaled deeply from her clothing, suppressing his moans while pressing his lips over her lap. Akane smiles at his action and slowly starts to caress his messy wet hair. She sighs happily as a warm smile adores her face.

After they have returned from China, Ranma has become so soft-hearted. He never gets shy anymore to be closer to her or to ask for anything from her. He would openly hold her hand in front of everyone, not caring what other would think about them. In some alone time like this, he would never get shy to come closer to her and to give her hugs..

She never stopped him. In fact, she always waited for the opportunity to be alone with him. He still haven't said the words yet. He is still shy about that.. But if the phrase "Action speaks louder than words" really is true then he had already declared his love to her countless times.. She didn't want him to suffer, that's why she stopped cooking for him. But when she felt that she should try at least one more time, this disaster happened. She knows its not her fault but still, she was feeling too much guilty for his suffering. She heard him sighing finally as he whispers,

"I think this medicine works! I am feeling kinda okay now.."

"So, then I think I can go back to my room..?"

Hearing her say that, Ranma moaned more loudly as he said in a panicked shaky tone,

"Oh the pain is doubled up now!!"

"Uhha!! Really, Ranma!?" Akane said giggling as she felt him tightening his hold one her. She again started creasing his hair softly.. Then after pausing for a long moment, she softly said,

"After today's incident , I think I have made a serious decision, Ranma.."

"And that is.. " Ranma asked sleepily.

"I think I have to marry a chef in the future.."

Ranma's eyes snapped open as he asked her,

"What the... What did ya mean..?"

"What I mean to say is, I can't cook to survive for one day! So in future, how can I cook for my family or my kids when they are hungry!! As a mother I have to take responsibility now, so that I can decide to marry the right person at the right time! Look, if I marry a chef then I don't have to worry about cooking for my kids! He can easily take care of it! Really, I have to make a decision wisely, otherwise.."

"Otherwise what?!!" His pain suddenly vanished, he hastily sits up from his sleeping position as he looked at her with hard heated eyes.

Akane's hands were on the half-air as she was not expecting the sudden outburst. She was surprised to see him this furious as she said,

"Otherwise.. My kids may…starve.."

Ranma greeted his teeths in anger as he said in a harsh whisper tone,

"Yar kids! WITH THAT CHEF!!!!"

Akane gives him a dumbfounded look as she said as a matter of fact,

"Duh! Yeah! Whom else?!"

Ranma began to breathe heavily as he said in an angry tone,

"Did ya forget that ya are engaged ta me?!"

"Of course not, baka! And I think you should think about this matter as well, Ranma! I mean, just think about it! If you choose from your other fiance's and I marry a chef then both our problems could get solved easily! You like to eat, right? And I can't cook at all so.."

"WOULD YA JUST KEEP QUIET!! YA KNOW WHAT, YA ARE SO UNCUTE!! BAKA BAKA BAKA!!!!"

"HEY!! DON'T CALL ME BAKA, YA JERK!!"

"THEN WHAT YA WANT ME TA CALL YA, YA UNCUTE, UNSEXY TOMBOY!!"

"RANMA!!!" She sighed tiredly and said in a much calmer tone, "Honestly, why are you so pissed off suddenly?"

"WHY AM I PISSED OFF!!" He closed his eyes and took some deep breaths to control his rage. He slowly opened his deep ocean eyes as he said bitterly,

"Look, Ya don't have to think that profoundly for yar future! A guy doesn't need to be a chef to know how to cook! A MARTIAL ARTIST can also know how to cook properly!"

"Really!" Akane asked him with a doubt-filled voice and saw him nodding. his head in a quick motion, "But I am a martial artist too and I don't know how to cook at all!" She said while giving him an innocent look.

Ranma was ready to throw more insults to her, but stopped himself when he noticed something suspicious.. He saw that his tomboy was trying her hardest not to start laughing at his face.. He knows her way too well, she forgot that she can't hide anything from him. He growled annoyingly, he puts his hands over her arms and pulled her towards him as he harshly whispers to her,

"Ya are playing with me, ain't ya?"

Akane chuckled and winked her eyes, then whispers back,

"Well, it worked, didn't it?"

"Work on what!"

"Now you are all cured, Ranma! Look, you are not in pain anymore…!"

Ranma's tight grip loosened a bit as he dumbfoundedly stared at her. Akane began to giggle softly as she shook her head seeing the stunned expression on his face. Ranma understood the whole matter and pouted at her angrily as he said,

"Ya are so... uncute!!"

She awed in between her giggles and slowly pinched both his cheeks and said,

"And you are too cute but baka.."

She kept giggling as she said that. She removes her warm hands from his cheek, but before she could stand up to leave, he hastily grabbed her hands again and pulled her towards him. Akane's eyes went wide with surprise by his sudden action. She took a sharp breath of surprise and before she could ask him anything about it, Ranma sealed her lips with a passion-filled kiss.

After some moment when they eventually broke their kiss.. Akane smiled up at him and saw him giving her an evil arrogant smirk. She softly slapped his cheek, making him chuckle at her action. She pretended to be angry at him as she asked him,

"And what was that for!?"

"Duh!! Because I was hungry!!"

Akane giggled and circled her arms around his neck and tells him playfully,

"I warned you, right? That I can't help you with this! I can't cook, Ranma.."

Ranma pulled her tightly towards him and began to give her soft kisses over her smiling lips.. Then he replied to her in between those kisses,

"Trust me, tomboy!! Ya are the only one who can ease my hunger! And for the easiest matter as to survive on food, don't worry, I won't let our kids sleep starving!!"

Akane giggled happily and hugged him tightly, then she whispers to him softly,

"Ummm.. And you are the only chef I want to have kids with, Ranma… I love you.."
