Chapter One of Cast Away
Widowed

Ranma smiled slightly and looked over at Ryoga, who was covered in sweat and trembling slightly. His eyes had a look of pure fear, as if the world were going to end as soon as the plane's engines started.
A crackling sound came from directly overhead, followed by a kind voice....
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to American Airlines. We'll be flying at an altitude of about 30,000 feet, and should reach our destination in about twelve hours or so. So please, sit back, relax, and listen to the safety video playing on the screens directly in front of you."
As soon as the voice ended a screen about eight feet by eleven feet rolled down from a hidden compartment that it had been held on.
With a small flash of white light a count down began from ten, each second another number would appear, each screen in black and white, with a circle around the number and another line running around it, as if searching for something to complete it's endless spiral.
As the countdown ended a slender woman with deep green eyes, long brown hair, and soft facial features walked onto view of the camera. Another voice came over the speakers this one in a more femine tone.
"In case of losing cabin pressure a mask will fall from the hatch located directly over your head," the woman on the screen demonstrated by sitting in a chair and taking the mask hanging in front of her and putting it on her face, "in case of a water landing......"
Ranma mostly tuned the voice out and pulled out a small present that Akane gave him. He turned it over a few times, studding the careful wrapping and tying of the bow. After a few moments Ryoga managed to turn his head slightly and dart his eyes down to Ranma's hand, then darting them back up to the screen where the lady was demonstrating how to use your seat in case of a water landing.
"Aren't you gonna open it?" Ryoga managed to squeak out from his clenched teeth.
"What? Oh!" Ranma declared as he threw it back into his bag, "Like I'd want a gift from a stupid un-cute tomboy like her!"
The seat next to Ranma began to glow a faint red...Ranma gulped....
"Ranma, why can't you see that Akane has feelings for you!? I mean all she does is gives you presents, and cooks you meals...even if you can't eat them....it's the thought that counts! And when she gives you a gift, what do you do? You throw it away like an old shoe! Well I won't stand it any longer! Either you tell her your feelings for her, or by god I'll tell her mine!!" Ryoga took a deep breath and slumped back into his seat.
Ranma was speechless, what Ryoga had said made at least some sense to him... Maybe he should tell Akane his feelings? But then again, just what are his feelings for her? He began to mentally picture her in his mind. Her raven colored hair, cut smoothly at shoulder length, her soft brown eyes that could stare right through his soul. The elegant curves of her chest and midsection and her long, firm legs...
Ranma stopped his train of thought and began a slightly related topic. His jaw dropped as he realized it; BY GOD! I AM IN LOVE WITH HER! He managed to pull his jaw from under his neibor's seat, and still grab the package that Akane had packed with a little note. He took out the note and started to read it, to say it shocked him was an understatement, the note read:
Go back three rows and sit on the aisle seat on the right side, I'll be waiting for you.
- Akane
Ranma looked at Ryoga, who had apparently fallen asleep while he had been thinking about Akane, and the got up and followed what the note said, only to find the little old lady who splashed him almost every day on the way to school was sitting there. She looked at him and smiled. Ranma gave a half-hearted smile back at her.
He was about to return to his seat when he heard some one whispering his name loudly. He turned around and saw Akane motioning him to come and sit by her. He gladly complied.
"Akane, what are you doing here?" He questioned as he sat beside her.
"Like I would let you go to a martial arts tournament with out me!" She spared him a small smile.
"So, how much did you have to pay for Nibiki to get you tickets?" Ranma asked with a hint of bitterness in his voice. While she was his future sister-in-law, that didn't mean he had to like it.
"Ranma! I'm amazed, what makes you think I had to pay her any thing? She isn't heartless or anything!" Akane returned, and then in a small voice, almost as an afterthought she added, "About three thousand yen." She grinned at Ranma, and he grinned back, his grin soon dimished as he thought about what he would say next.
"Akane I lo-" He was cut off as the plane started shaking and a loud explosion was heard.
A few screams were heard and some people started clutching onto their seat as if their life depended on it.
A "ding" noise accompanied by the voice of the captain over the speakers came up, "Please stay calm, we've just lost the number two engine."
Akane and Ranma exchanged worried glances.

Next time on Cast Away. Ranma, Akane, and Ryoga decide to find out exactly what's happened to the plane and find a "new home"

Author's notes- Ahhh yes, don't you justttttt HATE me? Lol, sorry this chapter took me so long, my computer crashed so I couldn't finish it, also there are two reasons its so short. Number one: I wanted to get it out ASAP so my friends would stop breathing down y neck about it, and number two: I just wanted to give you a "cliff- hanger".
