Sasuke padded into the Kunou residence and saw his master Tatewaki standing in the hallway, staring at pictures of his beloved Akane Tendou, and pig tailed girl. With a heavy sigh he padded over to his master, and handed him the pictures of Akane right before her bath... Hoping to score some extra points with Kunou and perhaps get more then just table scraps for dinner tonight. Though it was highly doubtful that Kunou would give him more than that.
"Ah Sasuke, well done well done, you have greatly captured the beauty of Akane in these pictures...surely you will HAVE to take pictures of the pigtailed goddess! one of these days Sasuke, either Akane Tendou or the pig tailed girl will be mine.. oh yes.. one of these days.." Kunou grined and looked at the pictures, his eyes taking in the breath taking sight of Akane's naked form. Sasuke shuddered, the thought of a naked woman making him sick to his stomach so he slumped away, wishing that Kunou's crazy sister Kodachi... whom Sasuke thought that some of the time.. well at least most of the time thought that she was possessed, wasnt home, of all the Kunou's it was she Sasuke feared most. But then again, he seemed to have a bit of a fear of most women..he HATED the fact that Kunou was after both the pigtailed girl and Akane.. he wanted Kunou for himself.. and yet knew he couldnt.. but his love kept him bound to Kunou like a a fly bound to a fly trap... untill someone else could take Kunou's place.. a interesting thought....

...Akane breathed in deeply, taking in the scent of the strawberry scented bubble bath she was using, and closed her eyes slowly... relaxing for awhile after a rather stressful week.. Soon a knock came at the door "Akane? akane you've been in there awhile, lunch is ready.. do you have any clue were Ranma could have gone? He hasnt been around since breakfast.." Kasumi's voice floated through the door and Akane opened her eyes, getting out of the tub. She dried herself off and grabbed a towl, opening the door.
"No I haven't seen Ranma.. he should be back already but who cares.. maybe he's with Shampoo" Akane said bitterly and walked out the door right past Kasumi. Akane walked down the hall to her room, and walked in.. droping the towel to the floor, having no modesty what so ever when alone. Walking over to her clothes drawer, she got on a nice light blue dress with white trim. Looking pretty and staring at herself in the mirror she smiled with the thought of how pretty the dress made her look and she walked out the door, leaving the damp towel on her floor not caring because she knew Kasumi would pick up any mess she made.

Ranma and Ryouga walked out of the fence and away from the Dojo, not quiet sure were they were wandering.. but as long as they got away from anywere the Tendou's would be.. or anyone that knew them for that example would be able to see them..
After awhile waking away from the main places were the people they knew were.. Ranma and Ryouga came to a grove of trees. Looking at eachother for a second and the look in both their eyes told them that this seemed like a good place to go. Walking into the grove of tree's Ranma and Ryouga wove around tree's holding hands for the sake that they wanted too.. and they didnt want Ryouga to get lost.
Soon coming out into a clearing.. they noticed a hot spring right in the middle of the clearing.. the rest of the place surrounded by tree's. Smiling at eachother they walked over to the waters edge and felt the steam of the water relaxing tense muscles and filling their lungs with a warm moiste feeling..
Looking at eachother for a few minutes.. both a little too scared to make the first move.. Ranma finally took a step towards Ryouga. Ryouga nearly despite himself backed away from Ranma.. 'probably a old fear of getting beat up by Ranma like old times...' Ryouga thought but as he looked into the deep swirling pools of blue mist that were Ranma's eyes he knew he needn't be afraid, Ranma had no intention on hurting him. No martail arts would be used at this time...
