+I re-wrote the chapter! Well… kind of. It makes a little more sense now, I hope! Um… I just really wanted this story to actually continue and this chapter was what was stopping it's progress. I hope it's ok. Oh… I spelt Kuno's first name by memory so please don't attack me if I spelt it wrong. I say sorry now before you read it, hehe… Um… that's it, please review! Kind criticism is welcome, flames are not. Thank you! ^_^ +

Chapter 2

"Mr. Saotome, he may be charged for both murders."
"What?"

"The investigation is in progress now. We want to take him in and question him abo-."

"He won't talk to you," Soun spoke up.

"Excuse me?"

"He hasn't talked to his family since he's been home."

"I'm sorry to hear that, but he is still a key suspect…"

"We will keep him here and watch him, officer. We will notify you as soon as he talks," Genma said calmly. The officer sighed and looked at his partner.

"Do we have anything on him that we can bring him in today?" His partner shook his head.

"It might do him better to be with family right now, Bill. We will probably get more out of him when he is ready." Bill nodded and looked at Soun and Genma.

"OK, he can stay here. Call me as soon as he talks. I can't promise you that he won't be charged. He will probably definitely be charged for the murder of Tatewaki… but there is evidence that it was self-defense. Well, thank you for your time Mr. Saotome. Mr. Tendo." The four men rose and bowed to each other.

"Have a good night officers." With that the two officers left.

Akane wasn't supposed to hear the two fathers talking to the cops. It was an accident but her anger was suspected.

But I saw it! Kuno killed Ryoga! It was Kuno's house, his traps, tears began to trace her cheeks. She closed her eyes as she remembered that day.

A large explosion sent Ryoga flying back, slamming hard into the wall. He slid face first on to the floor, large debris landing on top of him.

"RYOGA!"

Ranma's scream had sounded distant as she stared at the pile of debris. She released a sigh of relief as she saw Ryoga's hand, moving the debris. Oh thank, god he wasn't hurt… I thought you hated him? She sighed at the thought, secretly she couldn't hate Ryoga.

It was the sight in front of her that snapped her back into reality. Ryoga had coughed, a liquid splattering the ground in front of him. What is that?

"R-Ranma?"

Blood…

"You're going to be fine Ryoga. I am going to get you out of here. Don't worry. You'll be ok."

The words began to blur into each other, not making sense to her.

Ryoga… blood…

Tell… Aka… Akane… that… that I'm… really… really sorry."

A tear slid down her face, I forgive you, Ryoga…

"Good… bye… Ran…ma…"

"No… Ryoga. Don't… don't die. Please Ryoga… Don't!"

She sniffed as a sob threatened to break through, Goodbye, Ryoga…

"Akane?"

Akane opened her eyes, tears falling freely.

"I… Excuse me," Akane quickly left the room, sobbing as she headed upstairs.

"I hope she is ok," Kasumi responded after the fleeting girl.

* * *

Akane collapsed onto her bed in tears. Her eyes were closed, allowing her brain to paint pictures across her eyelids. She cried harder as it showed P-Chan snuggling with her, comforting her after Ranma made her cry. Why… The P-Chan smiled at her, sending her a message. 'Don't cry! You've got me!' But now I don't… she sobbed into her pillow.

* * *

Ranma stared out the door and down the hall. He had heard everything; the charges, Akane breaking down than running upstairs, the slamming of a door, the sobs. He sighed and stepped out of his room, closing the door behind him. Slowly he walked down to Akane's room. He noticed the door was slightly ajar. Careful he pushed it open to find her lying face first into her pillow, sobbing. He knew what she was crying about, it was only hours ago that he was doing the same. He sat down on the bed, startling her. She quickly lifted her head from the pillow, looking in the intruder's direction. Their eyes met, both sad and hurt.

"R-Ranma? What are you doing here?"

A stupid question, but one that made him think, what am I doing here? He sighed and stood up, planning to leave.

"Ranma?"

He stopped at the door.

"Don't leave… Please?"

He closed his eyes, debating. He turned around as he opened them, walking over to her. He bent down and hugged her. They stayed like that for a minute, finally Ranma pulled away. Their eyes met again, their faces were close. Akane's heart skipped but than dropped as he stood up and walked out the door, not saying a word. She stared after him with a mixture of sadness and hatred.

+A/N: I know the chapters seem small but they fit the story. I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of chapters. Well, please review. No flames. Thanks!+
