Dark Love: Chapter 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Akane was in bed by the time the others checked up on her the next morning. The sun was just rising but there was a dark foreboding feeling in the air. Something was going to happen, something awful. Akane was disturbed in her sleep against the soft pillows and warm blankets. Her face was troubled, contorted twists of angered betrayal. Waking up, Akane dressed in a yellow sundress with white mary janes. Sitting down on her work desk, she started to write something in her diary, then she sat at her vanity dresser, combing through her long silky black hair. She touched up her face with some light make-up of earth tones.
Running her fingers through her hair, she thought *Ever since my hair grew back, Ranma's been paying more attention to me...I wish he loved me. The other fiancee's are all so beautiful and skilled, would he ever want me.* An abrupt stop in thoughts hurtled her back to reality. *He will be mine and mine alone. Even if I have to kill his fiancee's myself!* Akane's attitude took turns for the worst.
Walking down stairs, she fought hard to keep back the tears. She saw Dad and Mr. Saotome playing shogi and of course, cheating. Kasumi was cooking up some food, the aroma of her heavenly cooking wafting through the household. Nabiki was outside in the backyard, in her teal bikini two piece sun bathing. Akane looked around for Ranmabut couldn't find him.
Her dad just noticed her walk towards the Dojo, "Akane! Where were you last night, we were worried sick 'specially Ranma."
"I was out at the park, just needed some fresh air..." she trailed off.
"Well next time, tell us where you go."
"Dad, I'm not a little girl anymore. I can take care of myself!" Akane yelled mad by what her dad said.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!! My Akane hates me now!! Boo hoo hoo....."
Tears started to flood the living room, ignoring what her father just said, Akane walked out the door to have a walk around town. As she was walking, she stopped by Doctor Tofu's office.
"Hello! Dr. Tofu are you here?!" her voice echoed of the walls.
After 1 minute or so, a door slid open. Dr. Tofu walked over to Akane and said,
"Akane, how are you? Do you need anything, how about a cup of tea?"
"Oh no, Dr. Tofu. I wanted to stop by and say hi."
"Well, ok Akane. Have a wonderful day alright? I will see you later" He replied cheerfully.
Akane walked out the door after giving greetings to Dr.Tofu and decided to find Ryouga. She hasn't seen him for a month and she needed him as part of her plan.
*Remember Akane, gotta be happy looking all this week. Occasional malleting is fine but you hafta make sure no one catches on.* she thought to herself
She started to look around the marketplace for groceries, thinking that maybe Kasumi might start teaching her how to cook again. She picked up some green cabbages, pork, beef, chicken, bread, and the rest of the ingrediants for curry. Thinking that since Ranma doesn't like her cooking her all that much, she thought she might get him back in a small way by making him eat her cooking for a week or so.
*He'll come begging me to forgive and stop. Though I don't think my cooking is that bad, just a little careless thats all...* she denied her thoughts of bad cooking.
As she checked out the stores, she heard a loud booming voice that she swear made the apples jump up in the crates.
"WHERE IS THE TENDO DOJO!" it roared
*hhhmm....thats gotta be Ryouga*
Following the voice to where it was, Akane proved right, it was Ryouga. Walking up behind, she tapped him on the shoulder. Ryouga on instinct thought it was Ranma, whirling around he swiped his umbrella at the assailant. Akane was caught WAY off guard by this and flew 5 meters across the street, and hit her head on the telephone poll.
"AAAHHHHHH!!!!" she screamed hoarsely.
Ryouga seeing who it was, horrified he ran fast and actually not going the wrong way towards Akane.
"Oh My God! AKAAANNEEEEE!!! I'm coming!" he cried.
Desperation in his eyes, hoping praying that his love is alright and that she would forgive him. When he finally reached her, he fell to his knees beside her unmoving form. Not a lot but a considerable amount of blood had been lost. Some of it was spilt in a trail of dust the way Akane skidded across the street. Holding her in his lap, he held her head to his heart. Mumbling all these prayers to ensure her saftey. He picked her up gently as if she was made of the finest glass and slowly walked to the Tendo Dojo, with the help of some people of course. It was night before he reached the Tendo Dojo, knocking on the wooden door. He felt a sense of dread, waiting for them to answer the door. Kasumi opened the door at last, smiling her usualy happy smile. This made Ryouga relax a little bit since Kasumi is nicest person he knows.
"Why hello, Ryouga-kun. Oh my what happened?" Kasumi saw Akane bleeding slightly in Ryouga's arms.
"Umm I accidently knocked down a bit hard thinking it was Ranma so she hurt herself. Just though i would bring her home" he said nervously
The pressure was a bit much for Ryouga as he sat in the living room and explained the situation to the Tendo family. At the end of the story, Soun started bawling like a baby at the top of his lungs crying, "MY POOR BABY IS HURT! WAAAAAAAAAAAH SHE WON'T COME BACK BOOOOOHOOO!" Nabiki just said that she'll charge him for it but thanks anyways. Kasumi st there with a smile on her face, saying "Oh my, I better get dinner started. Would you like to join us Ryouga-kun?" nodding he said "yes". Ranma was the most difficult to deal with, he was yellign his head off at Ryouga those two started to argue down the heavens and the house. The went outside into the backyard at started to spar. Ranma was winning of course. Then through all the yelling crying and explosions, Akane finally woke up.
"Uuggghh....My head hurts...what happened? All remember his tapping Ryouga on the shoulder then every thing went black...' she said groggily.
Seeing that she was alright, Ryouga and Ranma rushed over to Akane.
"Oh I'm so sorry Akane, I accidently attacked you thinking that you were Ranma. Please forgive me...." he pleaded
"Don't worry Ryouga, it's all right it was an accident."
Then it was Ranma's turn to talk and this time he didn't make fun of Akane but spoke to her with genuine concern in his voice. If you looked into his eyes you could tell. Pools of dark indigo emotion.
"Oh Akane...are you alright. You scared me half to death and how can you forgive Ryouga for doing that to you?" he said scratchily from the yelling contest with Ryouga.
After he finished talking, Akane didn't even reply. She turned away from him and started to talk to Ryouga, she stood up and took Ryougas hand in hers and asked him to go for a walk with her.
"Ryouga, I need some fresh air. Do you want to take a walk with me?"
"Uhh.. eehh.. umm sure Akane anything you want" Ryouga put his hand behind his head and smiled dumbly
Ranma was stunned, Akane was asking Ryouga on something like a date! She was HIS fiancee not pig boys. Thinking of a way to stop this, Ranma suddenly jumped to his feet and lashed out at Ryouga:
"Damnit Ryouga!! She's MY fiancee, you can't take her from me now matter how much you love her!!!" he cried with sorrow and anger dripping from his voice.
Akane stopped dead in her tracks when Ranma said that. She felt a pang of happiness when he said that but she remembered how he treated her. Like dirt, like an animal that needs to be taught a lesson. In retaliation she shot back:
"SO WHAT Ranma! Why do you care, I'm just an uncute tombot with no sex appeal remember? And as far as i know the engagement is off, and Ryouga is actually kind to me unlike you!"
Ranma fell down to the floor, hurt by what she said. He never agreed in breakign the engagement with her, he won't now. He loved too much, she was his reason for living his strength, his Akane...
He watched those two walk into the night rounding into the streets. He tried to regain his posture and he ran up to his room and onto the roof. He started to cry, his tears shone like crystals in the pale moonlight. Thinking about Shampoo and Ukyou, he decided he would go visit hem later. Then he thought of Akane, her long raven hair, her cute smile and button nose. Her stubborn attitude, the way she walked and talked, he loved every bit about her.
*Saotome Ranma doesn't cry. It isn't manly, oh Akane please come back to me. You don't know how much I love you...you are the only one that made feel good when I first came here...please come back to me Akane. I. Love. You...*
With that last thought, Ranma collopased on the roof, grief, depression, pain and a broken heart washed over his sleek muscled body. He lay there dreaming of nightmarish horros, how Akane left him saying that Ryouga was who she loved not him and cursed freak that isn't even a real man. Dreams of Ucchan saying she hated him, Shampoo losing her chance at happiness because of him. Everything seemed to his fault. In the middle of his nightmare fantasy world he saw a vision of Akane killing herself in order to get awayfrom him.
He saw it, she took a long gleaming sharp katana from its bundled sheath. Raising it sideways to her neck and she drew it to the side in a quick fluid motion. Slowly she pulled the blade away, it fell from her long slender fingers and clattered noisily to the floor, she crumpled into a heap on the cold hard floor bleeding an ocean of crimson waves engulfing her body. Ranma was terrorafied and leapt for Akane's body. Taking her in his arms he kissed her on the lips and checking for any signs that she might still live there were none. He tried to wake her but she wouldn't open those dark black eyes. Seeing that she was truly dead, he let out a wailing scream:
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The scream was middle pitched, piercing the very air of the cloudless night
No one was awakened by it thankfully. Ranma sat straight up and was panting heavily, sweat donned his body, sliding his smooth creamy skin. Dissolving into his clothes, he collected himself reassuring that it was only a dream nothing more.
*It was only a dream Ranma, Don't get scared. It's only a dream...*
Deciding he need to take a very small vacaction, he bent his knees and leapt off into the night, roof hopping towards God Only Knows. Akane saw this, even though she was still going to have her revenge, felt remorse and sympathy. Tears rolled off her cheeks and disappearing into her nightgown.
*Oh Ranma.....if only you could be kind to me. I might not have to do this to you."
With that, Akane went back to sleep. The air was thick and heavy, eerie feelings was floatin through the streets of place called Nerima and one Saotome Ranma was haunted by the visions of his dreams never to escape.......

I'll have an add-in of Ryouga and Akane's walk through the streets after this chapter. It'll pretty short, but I would think interesting enough. Chp 4 will be out soon so keep checking back! =)
