Chapter:
3 – Mission Ranma and Akane: Double Date in Action!
A.N.-
Does the
title look familiar to you? Well it's a
little bit different now. Take a better
look. It says Ranma and Akane instead
of Ryoga and Ukyou. Take a guess on how
the story will be like. Oh and uh
people who flamed? ….I'M A
BEGINNER! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO
MENTION THAT?!?!?! Ok…there, ::phew::
enough of my rant. Let's get on with
the fic!
Disclaimers
– I really
don't have to say this all over again, do I?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ranma Saotome was in his room reading a manga. He laughed at the hilarious parts. Then he realized he read the same manga five times already. Suddenly, he didn't feel like reading a manga anymore. He was getting bored. He sighed. What was he going to do now? His stomach started to growl.
Well, I guess I'll have to take care of that first…Ranma thought grinning.
He strolled to the kitchen. Well…not really strolling. He sort of ran to the kitchen as if there was no tomorrow. He saw that Kasumi wasn't in so he couldn't ask her to cook for him. It looks like he was going to have to cook himself. ::A.N.- In case you guys didn't know, Ranma is an excellent cook…even in his boy form!::
Let's see here…Rice, white wine, soy sauce, oil, vinegar, cucumber, carrots, beef, pork, peas, shrimp, egg, and tomato sauce…good enough to make Japanese fried rice! Ranma thought, happy with himself.
With a little cutting, slicing, pouring, frying and testing, he made his dish. He happily ate up. When he was halfway, Akane came barging into the house.
"RANMA! We need to.." Akane said as she trailed off. She smelled something good. She looked down at Ranma's dish. It was Japanese fried rice.
"Kasumi went through the trouble to fry this for you?" Akane asked incredulously.
"Nope..I fried it! Hahaha!" Ranma laughed as he used his spoon to scoop up some rice and then he suddenly stuck it in Akane's mouth, "Now eat THIS! Better than your cooking!" He stuck out his tongue.
For a minute, Akane was about to get jealous and mad. One, his food DID taste like a masterpiece, two, he made her look like a fool in the middle of the kitchen, and three, he mocked her cooking.
Then all of a sudden, they both simultaneously realized something. Without realizing it, Ranma had stuck HIS used spoon in HER mouth! They stared at each other like dopes. Ranma victorious smile faltered, and Akane just sagged there his spoon still in her mouth. Then Akane pulled the spoon out of her mouth with a "pop". She finally came to her senses as a blue aura surrounded her. She was pissed off!
"RAAAAAAANNNNNNMMMAAAAAAA!!!!!!! NNNOOOOO!!!!!!! BAAAAAAKKAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
She pulled out her hyper-dimensional mallet. Outside, the Nerima people were wondering where the frantic screams and the 6.2 earthquakes came from.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Okay, okay! Gomen-nasai, Akane!! I forgot!" Ranma screamed.
"How dare you!" was all Akane replied.
Ranma saw an opening behind her and took it. He back flipped and was suddenly behind her as he used both his arms to encircle her thin waist firmly. He dragged her back into the dojo.
When they were inside, Ranma was still holding Akane. He wrenched the mallet from her. He put his lips near her ears as he tried to apologize in soothing tones. He desperately wanted to do anything to calm her down. Akane slightly relaxed and blushed a little. Ranma didn't take notice of that, though. Sure that Akane was calm now, Ranma let go of her waist. Akane turned around.
"It's all your fault Ranma. I was about to tell you something important about Ryoga and Ukyou, and all you do is get me…"
"Wait a minute….Ryoga and Ukyou?" Ranma interrupted.
Akane took in a deep breath. She looked at him with pleading eyes and asked,
"Oh, Ranma….can you be my date tomorrow?"
Ranma just stood there. Akane was looking at him like…like as if she was almost involuntarily seductive. Ranma's eyes bulged, as he heart rhichoreted off in his insides making "doki doki" noises and gulped as he did a trademark of an anime sweatdrop. Akane laughed at the picture.
"No, Ranma…not a REAL date! A PRETEND date!"
"Huh? Uh…whaddya mean?"
Slowly and patiently, Akane explained the whole thing to Ranma. Ranma's eyes bulged again and he felt lightheaded as she continued. THIS he didn't have coming.
"So that's the whole story," Akane finished off.
"So you want me to be your date….in a matchmaking mission?!" Ranma asked incredulously.
"Please, Ranma?" Akane pleaded.
Ranma frowned. This was gonna be hard. What if everything screws up? He couldn't bear the humiliation. But the way she was looking at him.
Chikusho! Now what do I say?! Then again…if it gets BOTH Ryoga and Ukyou
off my back…ok, I'll do it.
"Fine, Akane," Ranma said.
Akane squealed in delight. She actually made Ranma agree with her to something like this! This was going to make Ryoga and Ukyou so happy!
"Tomorrow, Ranma. And wear something appropriate, will you? They're going to be at a fancy restaurant and you're paying the bill for once,"
Ranma groaned and scowled at her,
"Yes, Akane-chan," Ranma said sarcastically.
