Akane walked onto the small town streets of the seaside vacation spot, her eyes slowly returning to their normal color and joyful expression. After a short stroll through the village she decided to stop at a small store and get a new dress to show Ranma. Apparently all memories of the past days events were gone from her memory as she daydreamed about the boy. Her eyes gave away a dreamy sort of expression as she laid eyes on a pure white thigh high dress with an off the shoulder sleeve and a semi-low neck line. After trying it on she fell in love and went immediately home after buying it.

"Ranma!" she called into the small cottage. "Ranma?" she peeked into his room. She called out for him again and went down the hallway to her room. The door was open and she gave a startled gasp as she looked inside. Ranma sat tending his wound absent-mindedly. A thick dark liquid coated the floor as well as him. "Ra.Ranma!" The youngest Tendo ran to his side with a truly worried and concerned look. "What happened.?" He wouldn't answer. She took the boy into her arms, resting her chin on his head and closed her eyes.

Ranma felt a startling release of energy into his body. He had to close his eyes at the strangely familiar light surrounding him and Akane. He felt his wound slowly start to close and the pain melt away. Akane was still holding him tight as he felt tears start to fall onto his head. "Akane." The light dissipated as the pair found themselves lying on the ground, wrapped in each other's arms; Ranma feeling completely refreshed.

"Akane?" Ranma sat up on the floor looking at the girl. Akane had passed out. 'She's so beautiful' Ranma shook his head of the thought. There were more important things to be thinking of, like Akane's new powers. He picked her up and laid her back down on her futon and sat next to her.

Akane had tried to kill him, and then she had saved him. It was like she was 2 different people and it scared him to death. If she couldn't control this it could not only kill him but possibly her as well and Ranma had promised himself that he would protect Akane at all costs.
