Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma …just Ranma related objects
Notes: I don't know what happened, but for some reason my ~~~ lines didn't show up when I posted the story…I'm pretty sure that you guys were all able to tell where the flash back started and ended, but if not I'm so sorry! Anyway…Kyo and Akane are friends again and Ranma is, dare I say it…jealous! So Akane and Kyo are going to have a little fun playing with Ranma's head…but will they get carried away? Hope you enjoy!
Yesterday's Memory
Akane and Ranma were heading out the door. Today they were actually on schedule and have a good chance of making it to school before the first bell rings! Akane opens the door and bumps into Kyo, who had his hand raised in a fist as though he was just about to knock on the door. Akane looked up a Kyo and smiled.
"Good morning Kyo." Kyo smiled back.
"Hi, sorry about coming by without calling. I just thought we could all walk to school together. Hi Ranma." Ranma rolled his eyes and mumbled something that sounded like 'hey'. Akane gave Ranma one of 'those looks' and then turned back towards Kyo and smiled.
"We'd love to walk to school with you Kyo. Right Ranma?"
"Well maybe I should go ahead so you two love birds can catch up." Akane was about to yell at Ranma but then decided to give him a taste of his own medicine.
"Oh, well I wasn't going to ask, but if you don't mind going ahead then you can." Ranma face-faulted and Akane grabbed Kyo's arm and started walking.
"What was that all about?" Kyo was, once again confused.
"Whatever I say just go along with it ok. That jerk needs to learn his lesson." Akane whispered in response.
"Gee, for an engaged couple, you two sure fight a lot."
"We're not engaged cause we like each other! It's a honor thing, Ranma would do anything to protect his honor."
"Anything?" Kyo asked with a slight gleam in his eye.
"Anything." Akane responded apprehensively.
"Would he fight for his honor?"
"Are you kidding me? That's all he ever does!"
"He'd fight for anything as long as his honor was at steak?"
"Yep, you name it and he'd do it."
"Would he fight for that old lady?" Kyo pointed to the little old woman who always seemed to get Ranma while watering her walk.
"If honor was involved, then yes he would."
"Would he fight for that dog over there?" Kyo's questions were getting annoying but Akane answered them anyway out of lack of anything else to say.
"Yep."
"Would he fight for that cat?" Akane looked at the orange tabby that was cleaning itself on a wall across the street.
"Um…maybe not." Akane was giggling because she knew Ranma was following them and this she was going to have fun.
"Why not?"
"Well you see, the great martial artist Ranma is a…" a hand was placed over Akane's mouth. And when she made eye contact with the hands owner, she was not happy.
"Akane, what do you think you're doin'?" Ranma asked rather flatly.
"Well, Kyo was asking me some questions about you and I was just answering them." Akane answered in a sugary sweet voice.
"Can't you keep anything private?" Akane rolled her eyes.
"It's hardly a private matter Ranma. Everyone in town practically knows about it. Just like everyone knows about you and the pig-tailed girl." Ranma noticeably tensed and Akane began walking towards school again.
"What pig-tailed girl?" Ranma ran up to Akane.
"What are you tryin' to do? Do you want this guy to know all my secrets or something?!"
"They're not secrets Ranma. Kyo, you can ask anyone in school, except Kuno, and they'll tell you about Ranma and the pig-tailed girl and about the cats." Ranma turned to Kyo.
"Don't ask no one about nothin'. You got that? If you ask anyone I'll…" Ranma cracked his knuckles.
"Don't threaten him! He's allowed to ask anyone anything he wants!" Ranma turned back to Akane.
"Not when it's about me!"
"Oh, but it's all about you Ranma!"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Kyo tried to break in and tell them that they were going to be late but he wasn't able to get their attention. During all the commotion Kyo said:
"I'm going to get going…I'll see you guys at school." Ranma and Akane continued fighting until they heard the first bell and realized that they hadn't even passed by Dr. Tofu's office. They began running.
"Thanks a lot Ranma, and I thought I was going to be on time today."
"Well if your boy friend had…"
"He's Not my boyfriend and in case you didn't notice he was trying to talk to us but we both ignored him!"
"He was probably just trying to tell us that we shouldn't be engaged and that he'd take you off my hands!"
"Oh, come off it Ranma!" Ranma jumped off the fence so he was running next to Akane.
"Admit it Akane, you still like him. It's obvious he still likes you. I mean coming over in the morning just to walk you to school. He's a real prince charming, ain't he?" Akane stopped running and looked at the ground. Ranma stopped a few paces ahead of her and looked back. He hated it when she made him feel bad…although it was his fault for teasing her.
"Ranma, do you really think he still likes me?" She didn't look up and Ranma, but he imagined a hopeful look in her eyes…boy was he off.
"Yeah Akane, I think he does." Akane looked up at Ranma, her eyes glassed over as though she was going to cry.
"Then, can you tell him to back off? That, weather you like me or not, I'm still your fiancée and he can't have me." The tears began to fall from Akane's eyes.
"Why Akane? It seems like you like him, why don't you just put your path behind you and go out with him." Akane began walking to school again.
"It's not that Ranma. You see I used to love Kyo, now I love someone else. I'm just scared that if Kyo and I get too close I'll start loving him again." Akane had passes by Ranma and now he was standing a good five feet behind her. Ranma was about to reply to Akane when she said something else.
"And I don't want to love him again. I'm happy with who I have now." Akane kept walking at a rather slow pace. The late bell had already rung so there was really no use in hurrying anyway. Ranma silently caught up to Akane but stayed a couple paces behind her. They walked to school together, but neither of them said a word.
Ok, Ok, I know…Akane was a bit OOC at the end, but the idea popped into my head and I ran with it. Next chapter is going to be good! There's going to be a fight…for Akane! Who would have guessed? It's going to take place about a month after the end of this chapter and I'll write up a quick summary of what has happened in that month at the beginning of the next chapter. So, keep an eye out for that one, I should have it up tomorrow or the next day. Thanks for reading comments are welcome! Later days!
