Akane the Suicidal
Ranma whistled merrily, as she got ready for sleep. Soun hadn't gotten back yet, but the pigtailed girl decided that she could wait until the morning to get this idiotic engagement called off. She almost giggled at the thought, but decided against it, as her cheek was still throbbing from Akane's slap.
Ranma sat seiza on the futon that was laid on the floor in Akane's room; another surprise they sprung on him was that she now had to sleep with Akane... strictly for engagement purposes, Nabiki and Kasumi insisted. It would be a great idea for Ranma and Akane to get to know each other better, after all.
The pigtailed girl suspected something from their manic smiles, the elaborate high-fives they traded, the hyperactive dances they did, and their mumbles of finally getting a generous night's rest, but now she didn't care, since she would be getting as much sleep as they would be tonight. Yup, without having to listen to her old man snore, or have to worry about him waking her up with sneak attacks, Ranma was definitely going to enjoy this night.
Ranma considered if there was anything she missed, and when she couldn't think of anything, she turned to her roommate, "You need anything, Akane?"
"LET ME DOWN!"
"Glass of water, a warmer blanket..."
"I SAID, LET ME DOWN!"
"You sure you don't want water or anything? Because I'm not going to get up again for the rest of the night," Ranma asked again, eyeing the other girl sceptically.
"Come on, Ranma! These chains are cold!" Akane struggled in the bind she was in, while suspended horizontally from the ceiling by the chains Ranma had wrapped her in earlier.
"Oh, okay, a blankie then! Heh, I said 'blankie'!" Ranma chortled, as she tossed another blanket onto Akane, and then haphazardly wrapped it around her.
"You're... you're some sort of insane psychopath!" Akane exclaimed in a shocked whisper, as Ranma worked to make her warmer.
Once Ranma finished with Akane, she patted her on the back, "Well, I hope you're comfortable up there!"
"I'm not comfortable, Ranma, please just unchain me!"
"I thought you went before I tucked you in?" Ranma asked with an irritated tone, before shrugging, "Oh well, it's your bed you're hovering over. Time to get some shut eye."
Akane struggled against the chains holding her, "Ranma? This is inhumane!"
"Goodnight, Akane," the redhead laid on her futon, and pulled the covers around her.
"Ranma! I'm afraid of heights!"
"Then you shouldn't have tried falling from a three story one, head first," Ranma mumbled, rolling over.
"I'm not afraid of falling, just heights! Ranma, this isn't funny anymore! Ranma let me down!"
"Zzzzzzz."
"Ranma, I know you're not really asleep!"
"Zzzzzzsnrktzzzzzz..."
Akane struggled in her chains, trying to find some leverage, before sighing in fustration.
"Quit it, trying to sleep," Ranma mumbled, sinking her head deeper into the pillow. Akane glared balefully at the other girl, before rolling her eyes, and holding her breath...
::THUMP!::
"OW!" Akane shouted, her butt jerking from the tack that had suddenly gotten lodged in it.
"Don't... hold breath... like sound... your breathing..." Ranma said tiredly, as she attempted to snuggle deeper into the futon.
Akane was about to retort, but stopped, and blushed. Did, did she really like the sound of her breathing? Akane turned as much as she could to look at Ranma with a contemplative expression.

A still sleeping Akane attempted to roll over, but couldn't as her body was still constrained. It didn't bother her, though, just as the four tacks sticking out of her butt from where Ranma had apparently left unchained on purpose had not.
Her red-headed tormentor slept the sleep of angels, sprawled out on her futon, after kicking the covers off of herself when she had gotten too warm during the night. Her tranquil slumber was disturbed, as a refreshing bucket of water landed on her face.
"PPPHHHTTT, HEY!"
"You two are running a bit late this morning," Nabiki chided, holding the bucket over her shoulder.
"Huh? Wha?" Akane's eyes fluttered open, as she strained to turn to see her alarm clock, "YOU JERK! YOU FORGOT TO SET THE ALARM!"
"better hurry, Kasumi has your stuff ready for you already," With that, an extremely chipper Nabiki left the room; her voice drifted from the hallway, as she started to descend the stairs, "Oh, what a lovely night's sleep! Ranma-kun, you're a godsend!"
"HURRY UP AND LET ME DOWN!" Akane demanded, "Oh! Is my uniform ready? I still have to get my homework together!"
A soaked Ranma-chan grumbled, as she stumbled over to Akane, and unlocked the combination lock after several tries, finally freeing her fiancee, and causing her to plummet onto her bed.
"Ow! That hurt!" Akane whined, picking out a couple of the tacks stuck in her butt through her pajamas. Ranma ignored her, and stumbled about the room to get ready, herself.

"Great! No'w we're going to be so late!" Akane whined, racing from the Tendou home, with Ranma running close behind her. The pigtailed boy was rather irritated that he didn't get his chance to talk with Mr. Tendou, but he thought, as long as he could just keep a sharp eye on Akane, he'll be able to do it after school.
Akane looked up to the fence, and then back to Ranma, "Come on, we're going to take the shortcut!" With that, she leaped onto the fence, and then onto the nearest roof.
Ranma blinked, "Hey, she's not half-bad!" He quickly lept to follow her, and quickly caught up, just as Akane was jumping down from a roof. imagine his surprise, to find Akane in the midst of a bellyflop, right onto the display mattress for Bijan's Nailbed Emporium.
"Cripes!" Ranma quickly grabbed the edge of the roof, flipped over so his feet were pressed against the overhang, then pushed off. He hit the ground, running, and caught Akane, just before she succeeded. Unfortunately, he tripped over the nail mattress, and tumbled Akane forward. Akane braced herself on her left hand, and sprung back to her feet before her fall became an issue, while Ranma was holding two nails of the bed between each of his index and forefingers; staring nervously at the nail just three inches from his nose.
"Hurry up!" Akane shouted, as she took off onto a nearby stone wall, and into the yard beyond it. Ranma caught up by jumping onto a fence near him, and then onto the Nerima Archer's Club sign nearby.
"Quit playing around, Ranma," Akane griped, as she ran through the field, as fast as she could, unheeding of the lethal barrage issued forth by longbow hobbyists. Ranma sighed in relief, at least this wasn't any worse than his training..
Both Akane and Ranma jumped into the next yard, right into a circle of rotweilers and pit bulls. Akane used one of the rather menacing looking dogs as a springboard over the next fence, while Ranma whimpered, and attempted to leap completely over the now furious animal. unfortunately, he didn't anticipate the one that managed to snag his foot in its mouth, and arrest his jump...

Akane looked back, just in time to see Ranma jump from the next roof into the open field. She rolled her eyes at the state of his school uniform, but pressed forward, not intentionally missing the buzzsaw that flew just a scant few inches from her chest.
Ranma frantically dodged the flying buzzsaws, wildly looking in the direction they were coming from. Much to his chagrin, he found the guilty party, standing right in front of a sign reading 'XTreme Sports Buzzsaw Frizbiee Golf...

"AKANE PREPARE TO DIE!"
Akane stopped, surprised that Kuno would wait up for her when she was running so late, "really, sepai, you didn't have to wait for me!"
A ragged looking Ranma landed in the school yard, and was a blur, as he rushed towards Akane and Kuno. Before the blade could connect with the inflinching girl, Ranma pulled Akane to the side. The pigtailed boy had to gulp, as he watch the concrete get pulverized where Akane had been standing, and then instantly ducked, pulling Akane with him has the bokken blade slashed over their heads.
"STAND STILL YOU FEINDISH CREATURE, AND ACCEPT YOUR DIRE FATE!" Kuno's frantic slashing became just as much a blur as Ranma was to defend against it. The pigtailed boy actually found himself pressed to evade he attacks, while keeping Akane from harm, just narrowly.
"WOULD YOU JUST CUT IT OUT!" Ranma screamed at the top of his lungs, kicking away another vicious slash aimed for Akane's neck.
"Honestly, Ranma, we're late as it is," The raven-haired girl attempted to walk around both fighters, forcing Ranma into an ackward position to defend her. he caught the slash in his shoulder, and gritted his teeth, while pulling Akane back behind him.
At the sound of pain from someone other than Akane, Kuno paused, "Hmm? And who might you be? Perhaps another poor lout that has been bewitched by this temptress into providing her safety with thine own flesh?"
"I'm definitely the poor lout you refer to," Ranma replied in a miserable tone, while working to keep an irritated Akane behind him.
"Then my condolences," Kuno replied, sincerely, "ALLOW ME TO FREE YOUR TORTURED SOUL!" He stabbed to the side of Ranma, just where Akane's head had been peeking out. Ranma quickly pulled the girl to the other side of him, spinning against the blade to parry it. he then planted his hand on top of Akane's head, forcing her to bend down, and then vaulted over her, swinging both feet from the side to plant them right in Kuno's face.
Once Ranma landed from his double kick, Ranma smirked at his small victory. The smirk fell from his face, after Akane's hand wacked him upside the head. "Jerk! We're late enough as it is! Did you really have to mess around with Kuno?" Sighing in exasperation, Akane grabbed Ranma's wrist, and quickly pulled him into the school.
"My grievence is not with you, my misguided knaive," Kuno stated dryly, before falling back with two definable foot prints on his face...
