Chapter 1 – The dreams return

------------ Akane's POV------------

On a gasp I woke up. I was covered in sweat and I couldn't breath. I felt trapped as I looked around my room. Biting my hand all I could think was ' Why? Why now after all this time?' I couldn't seem to calm down. I could still feel his hands on me as I screamed..... the feeling of being suffocated wouldn't leave.

I closed my eyes as I felt the familiar pain of being violated and the revulsion of being so weak that I hadn't been able to stop him. "No! I can't go back! I'm stronger than that now." I whispered to myself as I desperately tried to believe that.

Getting out of my bed I went to the window. I could still feel the feelings from my dream around me. Looking outside I realized I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep tonight. Every time I closed my eyes I could see his face. Always loaming over me...smiling....

'WHY NOW!' I mentally screamed. I had finally moved on with my life. I had thought it was finally over...and yet he was still haunting me in my dreams...again. On a sigh I looked at my clock.' Great,' I thought silently . It was 3:42, sighing again all I could think was that it was going to be a long night.

------------

It was mourning already. I got up from my desk and went to get ready for school.. After I had showered and dressed I went downstairs to eat breakfast before I left. As I reached my door I froze. I could here a male voice shouting. For a moment I remembered the dream, his face flashed so clearly in front of me and then I remembered that we now had two (three or so counting all their 'friends') freeloading houseguests. Feeling relieved I opened my door and went downstairs.

----------------

Had I been so stupid as to believe that everything would be alright? Ranma it seems that you were right whenever you called me stupid. If only I had known...then I would never have left my room. If only I had.....but it's to late to undo the past. All we can do is live in the present and hope we can fix our mistakes. If we can ever make things right. That was lesson I had learned the hard way. I closed my eyes as I felt the tears come again. All I could think about was how I had embarrassed myself at breakfast.

(flashback)-----------

Everything had been going well. I had even calmed down enough to be able to joke around with Ranma. Then he had reached out and had grabbed my arm when I had threatened to hit him. He had just made me so angry, but when I felt his hand on me I felt my dreams come back and all I could see was his face. Smiling....always smiling.

Without thinking I shrunk into myself and whimpered.

"Please," I whispered," please don't hurt me. Please."

I started to sob uncontrollably and muttering over and over again for him to stop...to leave me alone.

"Akane?" I heard Ranma's shock and snapped out of the trance I had been in. Startled I looked around and saw everyone looking at me surprised. Then I saw the realization on Kasumi's face. Without a word I got up an ran.

--------------(end flashback)

After that the rest of the day went by without any problems. Everything seemed back to normal again. That is except during those moments I caught Ranma starring at me with a frown on his face

I had felt so confident that I wouldn't have the dream again. I close my eyes as I go to bed.A dream that is always the same. After a few minutes I feel myself fall asleep. A dream that never ends. I really am stupid after all Ranma. A dream that always starts the same......

\\\\\\\\\dream\\\\\\\\\

I was walking down a street. It was dark out tonight, but I don't mind. I start to hum off beat to a tune I had heard on the radio. I feel the breeze swirl around me and can't help but smile. Then out of no where I feel someone's hand cover my mouth. I try to escape only to be pushed against the wall. Hard. Struggling I push against him but he is too strong. I watch in horror as he smiles at me. I try to scream as one of his hands leave my mouth, but he just hits me and moves his hand lower and lower...

His skin feels cold as it touches me. His hand moves under my skirt until it reaches my panties. Then his hand tugs at the thin fabric and pulls them down. I feel panic and keep trying to make him stop only to have my head slammed against the wall again and again until I can't think any more. His other hand leaves my mouth and he reaches down. I can hear the sound of his pants being unzipped. My mind foggy I can't understand what is happening. All I can see is his face, smiling at me. I feel his cold hand move up my body as he rips off my clothes. I feel tears gathering in my eyes and try to stop him, but my body won't move................

\\\\\\\\\\end dream\\\\\\\\\\

I wake up screaming. I feel someone whispering that everything would be okay. 'Kasumi' I thought relieved. I move closer to her warmth and start to cry. She continued to hold me close, all the while saying that everything would be all right now.

I just wish I could believe her.

=== Authors note===

To those of you who might not know (because I have neglected to mention this but you might have guessed this by now) what happened to Akane had happened before Ranma and before she learned martial arts. i
