Note: I don't own Ranma. Unfortunately, Rumiko Takahashi owns it. Hey but she is a great writer and artist so who cares.

Chapter Two: What Is It?
She smelt it. Another great dinner was almost done. Her sister Kasumi is a great cook. Unfortunately she herself stunk at the culinary arts. Nothing she has made was ever good. She wanted to be better. Funny, she never wanted to be good at it before Ranma showed up. Tonight she did well though. She had made the salad, and she cut all the vegetables cleanly. Usually she ended up with big chunks, and pieces of the cutting board in there.
Kasumi: Ranma! Dinner!
She had forgotten about Ranma since. He no longer trusted her. She would apologize. Maybe this time she can make it up to him. She waited for him to come. She had waited. He didn't come.
Kasumi: Oh my. Is Ranma okay?
Nodoka: He did come home right?
Akane: He did…
He did come back all right. She was in his stuff, and he came back. Ranma's not coming to eat? If he isn't going to come eat he must be really mad. Everyone was here but him. Her second sister Nabiki, who tried her hardest to make a profit at every turn. Nabiki even sold photos of Akane and Ranma! Her own sister. Then there was her father Soun, and Ranma's pop Genma. Everyone besides Ranma.
Nabiki: What happened this time?
Akane: I think I invaded his privacy.
Nodoka: What did you do?
What did she do? It was only a dumb box. That's all it was.
Akane: I was in his closet and I found this box…
That's what she did. She had been in his stuff. Not only that, then she was looking through it. She knew that if he had been going through her property she'd be just as mad.
Nodoka: A box? What was in it?
What was in it? She only saw that one thing. She only got a quick glimpse at what at the top of all the things.
Akane: I'm not sure. I saw some hair. That was it.
Genma: Hair? Why would he have hair in a box?
Soun: You don't think those cross-dresser rumors are true?
Akane: No it wasn't a wig. It looks like a few locks of someone's hair. Come to think of it. The hair was my own. There were pictures of me too.
Nabiki: I had sold him some.
Now she remembered what was in there. She had seen her own hair, and there were a few photos of her on top. There was still more she still didn't see. Would those be something of her as well? How did he get that hair though? It was back when she had it long. He must have kept it that day it was cut by Ryoga's bandana. That was so long ago. That was only a short time after they first met. Why did he have that stuff?
Akane: I've told you to stop selling pictures of Ranma, or me.
Did Ranma love her? Is that why he had that stuff? Maybe there was another reason. Maybe he just didn't know what to do with it. What do you do with someone's hair? Maybe he thought she'd want it back someday so he kept it. Whatever the reason, he had it. Technically she hadn't done anything wrong. It was her property not his. But maybe she had something of his. She never thought she had it, but maybe she did. Maybe she had his heart.

Am I expected to say something 'cause I won't. You say it, I won't.
