"Akane come on we are going to be late for school!" Ranma yelled up the stairs.

"I'm coming! Keep your pants on Ranma. Do you want to wake the whole house or something?" she yelled back.

Just then four doors opened up and out came some very groggy people.

"SOME people are TRYING to sleep!" Nabiki said. Akane get all red in the face.

"Ranma when I get my hands on you!" she exclaimed.

"Well you won't be doing that, he just left out the door," Kasumi said.

"What! Oh no you are kidding me, bye everyone I have to go!" she yelled. Then she ran out the door, slipping on her shoes on her way out.

Ranma walked to school alone, he didn't want to be yelled at anymore so he had just left without Akane. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea, he had a bad gut feeling about today. As he walked by the old lady, he waited for the cold water to come, but it didn't. That was his first hint that there was something not to right today.

Second thing that worried him was that Akane hadn't caught up with him and yelled at him yet. She was a lot quicker then they all wanted to believe. She was either really mad or something was wrong.

When he reached the school grounds there were few people out there. He looked around and noticed that Akane's fan club wasn't there. Did he miss something, was today, 'Go off and do whatever you want just to confuse Ranma' day?

He walked into school and took a seat. He was a bit early so he had time to think about that strange occurrences.

As soon as he was getting somewhere in his thoughts Shampoo bounded into the building.

"Now that crazy mallet girl gone, Ranma marry Shampoo right?" she asked.

"Shampoo I told ya once I am not tellin' ya again. I am not . . ." he started but something he said just got threw to him. "Wait Shampoo what did you do to Akane?" he asked, his fists clenched in rage.

"Shampoo make loud mouth girl go away," Shampoo said. She had a wide smile on her face as she said those words.

"Shampoo, where is she. You better of not caused any harm to her or I will do something to you that you will carry with you for the rest of your life!" he yelled at her. Then he jumped out the window in search of Akane.

He retraced the steps that they take to school and gasped when he saw a large hole in the fence and Akane's school bag on the sidewalk.

"Akane, no," he said. He fell to his knees and sat there for a while thinking. If he had just waited for her this morning then she would be okay. She would still be here right next to him yelling at him for one thing or another. A tear escaped his face, he quickly rubbed it away. He stood up; he had to be strong if he wanted to find Akane.

He ran back to the house to find everyone at the table enjoying breakfast. When they saw the look on his face they all stopped eating at turned. He tried to keep a straight face but it became too hard and he sunk to his knees. Silent tears ran down his already moistened cheeks.

Genma stood up and went to his son. He had not been much of a father before but he was going to be there for his son now.

"Ranma calm down and tell us what happened," Genma said. The members of the household looked on and awaited his answer.

"Akane, Shampoo, she took her," Ranma said.

"Did Shampoo take Akane?" Genma asked. And all Ranma could do was nod to tell them that it was that that happened.

"I should have waited for her here, and then she might have still been here. We would be at school and nothing would be wrong. Now she is gone and it is my entire fault," Ranma said.

Kasumi, Nabiki, and Soun all stared at Ranma. They looked upset but not mad at the young martial artist.

Nabiki stood up and said, "Ranma what I have learned all these many years is that you should never doubt your actions. It just makes things harder," she said resting a hand on his back.

"We all know you tried to save our sister," Kasumi said joining Nabiki, also comforting Ranma.

"Ranma, my son, I do not blame you for the occurrence that has happened here. What I want to know is what do you plan to do?" Soun asked.

"I plan on getting her back, no one is going to take her away from me," he said.

Somewhere else:

"Lets see, Shampoo said I could do anything I wanted with the loud girl, now what should I do?" he asked himself.

"Nothing and just leave me alone!" Akane yelled from the chair that she was tied to.

"Nope, not my orders girl, unless you want to loose that pretty face of yours I suggest that you SHUT YOU F*CKING MOUTH!" he yelled.

Akane shuddered at the thought of dying right here. Never being able to tell Ranma that she doesn't hate him all that much. Never being able to tell him anything ever again. She silently started to weep.

Back at the Tendo house

"Ranma listen we will get her back don't worry," Kasumi said even though she was hurting inside. She would not make Ranma worry even more, even though he doesn't admit it she was sure that he loved her little sister.

All of a sudden Ranma stood up. He went to the door and looked out.

"Ranma?" Nabiki said quietly.

He didn't answer instead he took off into the day, no one could see, but he was crying.
