Akane settled the tray on the roof and then pulled herself
up. Ranma looked up at her in surprise. "What ya doing, Akane?"
he asked.
The youngest Tendo brushed off her skirt and then picked up
the tray. "You've been up here since dinner. It's not like you
to miss dessert." She sat down next to her fiancee, placing the
tray between them. "I thought you might have been attacked by
Ryouga, Kuno, or any of the other hordes of enemies you seem to
have."
Ranma put his hands behind his head and leaned back. "Nah.
I've just been thinking. This is one of the places I can without
someone disturbing me."
Akane opened her mouth to make a snide comment about
the idea of Ranma even thinking in the first place, but she stopped
before the words came out. -He looks so open- she thought glancing
at him, -He's hardly ever like this...- "What have you been thinking
about?"
Ranma glanced up at her. "What? Oh. You know. Stuff."
"The failed wedding?" Akane's voice carried a hint of
disappointment.
Ranma shook his head. "Nope."
"Your parents?"
He sighed. "No. I've been thinking about her. I can't
believe she's leaving."
"Oh..." Akane answered quietly. "But you knew she was
going to leave sometime..."
Ranma let out a frustrated breath. "Yeah, I know. It's just
that she's been with us since the beginning, you know? And now she
just leaves us..."
Akane looked up at the starry sky. "It had to happen some time.
We all knew she wouldn't be with us forever..."
"I guess you're right..." Ranma replied. They sat together
quietly, staring up at the twinkling lights inhabiting the black
expanse of the sky.
"Akane?" Ranma asked sitting up. "What do y-" As he rolled
over to face her, his knee caught on the tray which slid and left him
off-balance. As a result he fell on top of the girl next to him.
Ranma looked down at the surprised look of his fiancee. -Man, she
is cute...- he thought before realizing that he *was* on top of Akane
with his arms partly around her. His face colored and he rolled off
her. "Akane, I'm really sorry! I didn't mean too, uh..."
Stunned and blushing, Akane sat up. "It's okay, Ranma." she
quickly looked down, and replied quietly, "I-I don't mind..."
"What?!" her fiancee replied disbelieving.
Akane's face reddened. "I said I-I don't mind you h-holding
me..."
Ranma gulped and matched his fiancee's redness. "Y-You sure?"
Biting her lip, Akane looked up at him and nodded once. Ranma
gulped again and moved next to Akane. Slowly, almost hesitantly he
put his arm around her, ready to move it away at a moment's notice.
Akane stiffened when he first placed his arm around her, but then she
relaxed and smiled. Ranma almost jumped when she leaned her head
against his shoulder. He took a deep breath and glanced down at his
fiancee. -This... This ain't half bad...-
After a minute, Ranma began to relax, but immediately stiffened
again when Akane asked, "Ranma? What were you going to ask me before?"
-Oh, is that all?- He relaxed and looked down at his fiancee.
"Um, I just wondered how you thought about her going and all..." Akane
looked away and didn't answer. "Akane, you okay?"
Akane looked down and then up at Ranma. "Truthfully?" Ranma
nodded. Akane sighed and continued. "I'm kind of scared..."
Ranma frowned. "Why? You said yourself that we knew it was
going to happen sometime..."
"I know. It's just that she's always been there. We're kind
of her children in a way. What's it going to be like without her here
to guide us?"
"It's okay. We can get along on our own, right?" Ranma did his
best to sound comforting, "Every parent has to let go some time."
Akane was surprised at this little seen side of her fiancee. It
was a side she liked. A ghost of a smile appeared on her lips. "I wish
our parents would learn that!" The smile disappeared. "Maybe I'm just
afraid of being alone..." she said softly.
Ranma smiled and stroked her hair. "Alone is one thing you'll
never be, Akane. Your family, my parents, our friends... They're all
here for you..." He tilted her face up so he could look into her eyes.
"And, I'm here for you too..."
Slowly Akane smiled. "I guess I have no reason to be scared
then."
"Nope." He moved his head down until their lips met. He
wrapped his arms around her. She relaxed and twined her arms around
his neck. After a few minutes they broke the kiss, and Akane settled
her head on Ranma's shoulder.
The couple sat together and watched the stars. After awhile,
Ranma became aware that Akane's breathing had slowed. He smiled and
leaned back careful not to disturb the sleeping girl in his arms.
"Good-bye," he glanced down at his fiancee then back up at the heavens,
"and thank-you."
