Chapter 2 – What's wrong?
---------Ranma's POV----------
I knew something was wrong with Akane today. I had never seen her that way before. Closing my eyes I could still see how Akane had reacted when I had touched her arm. I could still see the scene so clearly. After I had tried to go after Akane, only Kasumi had stopped me.
------flashback--------
I got up to follow Akane. Something was really wrong with her and I was worried, but when I started to go after her I felt a hand on my arm stopping me. A little startled I turned around and stare at Kasumi. She just shakes her head at my questioning look, not letting go of my arm. As I looked at her I noticed that she wasn't wearing the normal clueless smile. Instead I could see a certain sadness in her gaze as she looked past me to where Akane had been. Something didn't make sense.
"Why" I asked, my confusion written clearly on my face. Kasumi knew something,but for some reason she didn't seem to want to tell me what it was.
"Ranma just leave her for now.*Kasumi blinks when she sees what time it is* Oh my look at how late it is. I promised Dr. Tofu that I would bring him some stew, and I have to go grocery shopping as well. You should leave soon Ranma if you don't want to be late for school."With that Kasumi let go of my arm and went to get ready for her 'grocery shopping'. It didn't help that Nabiki was aiming a warning look that said you better not go against Kasumi or I'll make you eat Akane's cooking for a week.
Grimacing I nodded to her and gave up. I would have to run very fast if I wanted to make it to school on time.
-------end flashback------
Of course I hadn't beat the bell. I'm actually standing outside in the hallway with the bucket of water right now. I was surprised that Akane was at school but then I remembered who I was talking about and snorted. Like that tomboy would let a little thing like tears stop her from acting like anything was wrong. Through the window I could see her talking to her friends and couldn't help but sigh. She seemed fine but just in case I'm wrong I better keep a close watch on her.
------------------
Her screams woke me up. Jumping out from under my cover I raced to Akane's room. When I got there I saw that Kasumi had beat me there. She was holding Akane and whispering something about how everything was okay now. Then she looked up and saw me. When she froze as if not sure how to face a sudden dilemma Akane looked up and looked at what had startled her sister. Of course it just had to be me. Dammit.
As soon as she saw me she started, to my other shock ( you'd think nothing could shock my by now wouldn't you) she started to scream again. 'Why am I the one who always makes a mess out of something' ran through my mind when she opened her mouth. To my surprise ( yet again*sigh*) someone splashed cold water on me. As soon as I changed into a female Akane seemed to calm down again.
'What the hell?' Turning around I saw Nabiki standing behind me with a worried look on her face. 'Dammit why did I seem to be the only one who didn't know what was going on?' I took comfort in the fact that at least my pops didn't know what was going on either. Then I saw him behind Nabiki with Mr.Tendo. He was frowning and shacking his head while talking to Soun about something. The only word I could hear was 'Akane' and 'tragic situation'. 'What the hell?' As if that wasn't enough I noticed that Pchan was standing next to them...... frowning? That's it someone was gonna tell me something and soon or else.
