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

Chapter Thirteen: Again

He and his father sat in a clearing out in the woods. They were just lazing about in a circle. He had run from home because he had told Akane the reason he didn't want to love her. That he knew Akane wouldn't love him as long as he had his curse.

Genma: What are we doing out here? You called me away to train you said.

Ranma: You wouldn't understand pops.

Genma: I courted once. Tell me and I'll help you.

Ranma: I have said some things I wish I hadn't.

Genma: Oh. Another one of those things.

His father had acted like it was no big deal. Had this happened too often? Ranma knew it had, it seemed like everyday they went through some trouble. He couldn't even face Akane this time. It was too much. It wasn't her. It was always he who had the problem. She was just acting like he had.

Akane: Ranma!

Ranma: Ah! She's here.

There he goes again running. She stopped to find his father in panda form. What an idiot. Genma had put up a sign saying he was a normal friendly panda.

Akane: Don't give me that! Where's Ranma? I want to talk to him.

He raised another sign saying he'd never tell. She raised her fist. He knew what she would do and quickly performed the Crouch of the Wild Tiger. Still bowing before her he put up a sign showing the direction Ranma had fled.

Akane: Thanks.

Akane went in the direction indicated. She would tell Ranma how she had felt about him. Up ahead Ranma was cursing himself for saying what he did. Ranma had the head start though. He was also much faster. Was there any chance Akane could catch him? Would her love for him be enough?

Short. Don't comment on it's length okay.

Blasted!

Next time is end. No there is no kiss. No there will be no wedding. It'll just be an end. Time to go away.

Summer's here! Okay it's been summer some odd…weeks. I've stayed up to 5AM and woke at 10AM. It's rather fun. Isn't it? Isn't it?! I said isn't it?!

I ain't gonna rewrite the last chapter. I didn't even like it but I had to get rid of those two so Ranma and Akane could even have a chance. Yeah I should have had Akane beat Ryoga for being P-chan, I just think she would have had a little idea that he was her pig by now. I mean there were so many scenes in the comic where it was obvious, plus he was involved in the Herb thing, and got beat up by Taro when he was beating up all the ones with a curse. Lets just stop here and pick up on the last chapter.
