Chapter Three: Ranma

I got up early today. I didn't want to see Akane when I woke up. Ever since my lips met hers last night I feel sick when I look at her. Since it wasn't a kiss, and she wasn't even conscious, it doesn't even count. I kept remembering what I did every time I saw her. I was jogging down the street that led out of town. That's when I crossed the eternal lost boy/pig Ryoga.

"Hey P-Chan." I waved with a questionable smile.

"Pheh Ranma. Why are you here in Osaka?" Should I tell him why I'm here? Nah, cause then he'd want to see Akane. I should mention the fact he wasn't in Osaka though.

"Uh, Ryoga this ain't Osaka. Anyway I'm just here on a training journey with my pops like usual." I closed my eyes turning away. I hope he bought it.

"Training huh? You lie Ranma." He caught on for once. "This is Osaka. You lied about it not being such."

"Uh, actually it ain't Osaka." I pointed out the sign as he went pale. I turned him around and he went on his way. "That was close."

That was a close call. He would've tried to get a date with Akane again or another fishing rod incident could have occurred. Crud! I gotta go meet Akane to teach her how to swim! I turned running off for the pool.

Maria: Maybe he has but just go along with this okay.

Ranma-baka

Dixystxx: It's easier to write separate plus I like to treat each as a different story. It's like I'm doing the sequel to the story in Akane's view now instead of later. Plus it's just how I did it and I don't wanna change.

Sorry it was so short by the way, but I already have four done and am working on five as we speak.
