Chapter 1

"Ohhhh Akane-chan, it's your Kuno!" Ranma crooned, trying rather unsuccessfully to imitate Kuno's voice.

"Oh, give it up Ranma. And stop following me." Akane's hand stealthily went in the direction of her mallet.

"I'm not following you. I just happened to be walking in this direction. Where are you going in such a rush?" Ranma hopped on top of a white picket fence.

"Shopping for a date with Ryoga. Why are you so interested?" Akane's hand grabbed the smooth, well worn handle of the mallet, ready to pull it out. *I don't have to tell him that Ryoga just wants to talk to me about Ukyo.*

"Ah, shopping for a date with Ryoga ... Ryoga!" Ranma just realized what Akane said. His stomach twisted into a knot. *This can't be jealousy...can it?*

"Yes, Ryoga." Akane smirked. *Maybe now he'll show some jealousy.*

"Great! I'm going on a date with Shampoo. Maybe we can all double date some time." Ranma said cheerfully. *Does my tone sound as fake as it seems? I hope not.*

"Ranma no baka!" Akane swung her mallet furiously. Ranma barely avoided it. It was a hairs' breadth away from his chest.

"What was that for? Don't tell me you're jealous." Ranma ducked just in time, or the blow would've given him a serious brain injury. *Is she really jealous? It's too good to be true.*

"Ha! You wish!" Akane shouted and ran off toward the woods. *I knew it was too good to be true.* Ranma looked toward the woods wistfully. Then he sighed and reluctantly headed off toward the Chinese restaurant. *Well, I guess I'll have to ask Shampoo out on a date.*

"Why didn't he come after me?" Akane peeked out from behind a tree trunk. *He's heading toward the Chinese restaurant..probably to spend more time with Shampoo.* She slumped against the tree trunk, miserable. *How did things get this way between us?* Akane sighed. *All the conversations we have always seem to end with me taking out my mallet.* A single tear drop made its way down her cheek. She wiped it away furiously.

"Crying is for the weak. And I am not weak!" Despite her words, more tears came. Akane hated herself for showing weakness. She dried her tears angrily and took several deep breaths before heading toward the Tendo dojo.

"Hi Akane!" Kasumi was in the kitchen as usual. Akane just mumbled something and ran through the living room and up the stairs to her room.

"I wonder what's wrong with her." Kasumi sipped the broth she was making and shook her head.

"Needs more chili powder." She sprinkled some in and stirred. Meanwhile, Akane was looking through her wardrobe, trying to decide what to wear to dinner.

"Mmmmm..too short...too long...perfect!" Akane pulled out a tight fitting low-cut white t-shirt and a pair of short black leather shorts. *This will definitely make Ranma drool.* Her lips curved into a wicked smile.

"When can we eat?!?! I'm tired of always waiting for Akane to.to.to." Ranma stopped in the middle of his sentence as Akane came down the stairs. His mouth hung open. With effort he closed it and his eyes hungrily took Akane in. The t-shirt was a little too tight and clung to her curves. It brought out the shape and curve of her breasts. The t-shirt also showed an amazing amount of cleavage. The black leather shorts showed off her long legs and clung to her ass.

"Great job Kasumi! This all looks great! See, even Ranma likes it!" Akane smirked. Ranma had been staring at her ever since she came downstairs.

"Yea. I like it very much." Ranma said without realizing what he just said. It took all his self control not to drool. Luckily for him, Kasumi thought he was talking about the food. Akane deliberately reached past Ranma for a napkin. Her breasts nearly tumbled out of the low-cut t-shirt. Ranma swallowed nervously. The room was getting hotter by the minute. Akane fanned herself with her hand.

"It's really hot in here, isn't it Ranma?" Akane smirked. Ranma's shirt was sweat drenched.

"I gotta go!" Ranma ran out of the dojo and into the pond nearby. The cold water turned him into Ranma-chan, but it was worth it. With her arousal under control, she started toward the dojo again.

"Here, Ranma-chan, catch!" Akane threw Ranma-chan a tea kettle full of hot water. Ranma-chan caught it and poured it over herself, turning back into a boy.

"Thanks tomboy." Ranma couldn't resist the urge to tease her. Out came the mallet and bam! He landed in the pond once again, this time with a huge bump on his head.
