Sakura Cookies

Chapter 6

Akane sat in her bed, tears slowly rolled down her face. She remembered the way Ranma

had kissed her in the dojo, the way he held her. She remembered every little detail, his amazing

grey eyes showing her his soul. Only this was the soul of a man under a love potion. She knew

would never get to see those eyes full of emotion again once the potion wore off. She wrapped

her arms around her. They tightened with every sob.

'Ranma......Ranma.......Ranma...please.....Ranma'

Sob after sob wracked her body as she called out to him through her mind. It was useless though,

he wasn't telepathic after all.

"I'm such a Baka" she spoke to herself. How stupid was she to think that her broken heart would

start the minute his love was taken away. No...it started when she was alone, thinking about the

coming day when he wouldn't love her anymore. She tried to imagine what it would be like.

Shampoo and his other fiances would launch themselves at him, clinging onto him and there

she would be watching. Unable to do anything, knowing that she had him once and his arms

really wrapped around her. Strong and supportive. Warm and Tender.

"Ran..ma" a small strangled sound came out of her, something below a whisper. She rested

her head on her knees arms still wrapped around her.

Tap Tap Tap

She lifted her head from her knees. 'it sounded like that noise came from the window' She looked

towards the window and finally saw him.

Ranma saw her crying through the window. Akane.. He swore silently to himself.

'Damn.'

'Damn those Sakura cookies'

'Damn the people who got the story wrong in the first place'

She was hurting.. His Akane was hurting so much. Ranma tapped on the window. She looked up

at him, tears still rolling down her eyes.

Immediately Akane ran and opened the window. Even though Ranma's potion love was the

reason she was upset, she also knew that she wanted his comfort. They had agreed. They would

be together until the end.

Ranma stepped in and eneveloped Akane in his arms. She clutched onto him as she sobbed quietly

into his shirt. He tightened his grip rubbing her back soothling. Akane's sobs died down. ' I want

to kiss him, I want his love...Ranma I love you so much' Akane slowly lifted her face to his face.

Ranma looked back at her. 'Akane I'd do anything for your pain to go away' He didn't speak

but his eyes reflected what he was feeling. Slowly, very slowly Akane caught his lips. She kissed

him with all she had and Ranma did the same.

"Ranma.. I love you, please...please stay with me tonight"

"Akane.....I..I"

"It's not what you think.. I mean..I do..but I don't.....not with the potion... I mean.. just stay with

me Ranma. Just sleep...nothing else" A blush slowly rose to her cheeks.

"I need to you..it hurts when your not with me...I just think of what will happen when this is all over... I

mean I know that we both won't feel about this after it..it wears off but still now...I can't help

but think...of how you will treat me afterwards." Akane lied about the bit about how they won't

feel hurt after the potion wore off. Of course Ranma would feel fine with it afterwards but she truely

loved him and was still not prepared to face the truth. She wished the love potion would never wear

off but then she wanted Ranma's real love..nothing else.

Ranma listened to her words and involuntarily cringed at the part about how they wouldn't feel

anything afterwards. 'No matter what happens Akane...one thing is I will never stop loving you

ever. Your the one thing that made me the happiest guy on the planet even if it is only for a little

while.'

Akane still waited for his reply. Was he going to stay??

"Akane.." She immediately looked up at him.

"Akane..just for now...know that I will never stop loving you. No..believe it. I know it's hard

but your the only finance for me. So...lets just forget everything else.." Ranma looked at her

with an intensity that she nearly forgot the whole love potion scenario.

"Yes..you and me" she smiled at him, it didn't exactly reach her eyes but it was close. She would

be strong for him. She would believe him....for now.

"I love you, you uncute tomboy" Ranma slowly kissed her tenderly. "Me too Baka" she sighed

into the kiss.

Akane slowly moved her hand his arm and grabbed onto his hand. He replied by entwining their

hands together. Akane moved out of Ranma's embrace and guided him to her bed. Ranma blushed

as he watched her get in and waited until she patted the space next to her. Akane's eyes gleamed,

while moonlight drenched her room. Ranma got in next to her and rested his head on the pillow.

Both of them never broke their eye contact.

Ranma was drowning in her eyes and Akane was drowning in his. A little voice in the back of Akane's

head said that this is what it would be like if they were married. They would always be together.

Akane blushed again and it did not go unnoticed by Ranma.

"Why you blushin tomboy?" For some reason the used to be insults seemed now to be endearing

nick names.

Akane's hand wandered over to Ranma's face. She gently stroked his face. "Your so beautiful"

"Me? I think I'm supposed to saying that Akane" Ranma smiled slightly. Akane was amazing.

He didn't know what life was like before Akane's tenderness. He remembered how she used to hate

boys and now here he was being called beautiful by her. He ignored the small voice saying

it was the potion and believed her, believed in the moment. Ranma blamed and thanked the potion.

Thanked it for showing Akane's love and blamed it for it's coming destruction of it. Ranma wondered

if Akane would love someone like this afterwards. Would it be him? Would he have a chance

to marry her one day? I mean he could marry her now by telling his parents but after this thing wore off

wouldn't it be like forcing her? He didn't want her forced to marry him. He would only marry for love

and he knew that she felt the same way too.

Akane watched Ranma, he seemed to be in a world of his own. 'I wonder what he is thinking' Akane

moved closer towards him. Ranma's arms wrapped around her body. He softly swept the hair

from her face. Akane slowly kissed Ranma. It was the softest kiss of all their kisses. Tender and

delibrately slow. Ranma's hand delicately cupped her face as he deepened it. They were both

consumed in each other. Each kiss as slow and tender as the first yet passionate. Ranma's hands

travelled under her shirt to feel the smoothness of her back while Akane's did the same. 'Ran..ma'

"A.k..a..ne" Both of them were breathless starring at each other. Grey on Brown. Their eyes

both passionate and wide. Ranma found himself ontop of Akane, their bodies pressing intimatly.

"Ra..n..ma" Akane wanted him. Her veins burned with liquid fire. This was what finances were

supposed to do. It felt soo right to her. Akane brought her face up to his and kissed him again. He

kissed her intensly, plundering her mouth, moving to her neck. 'Ranma get a hold of yourself.'

Ranma didn't move back to her mouth, he breathed heavily and struggled to control his rampaging

emotions.

"Akane...we shouldn't do this yet"

Akane breathed heavily as well. She felt him kiss her neck again and before she could answer he

had claimed her mouth. The kiss was short and sweet and she felt his weight shift from her onto

space next to her. Ranma wrapped his arms around Akane's waist and brought her too him.

Akane was spooned into Ranma. She felt his hands under her shirt caressing her stomach. Akane

found his hand and entwined it with hers. She had been ready to make love to him but she knew

that he was right in stopping them. Akane felt Ranma kiss her neck again and whisper into her ear.

"Let's sleep for now Akane.. heh I don't want you calling me a hentai ya know. Goodnigt tomboy"

The last was said in a whisper. Akane felt the words he spoke contained great self control. It was

best this happened. Maybe...maybe if they got through this...if they still loved other like this..

maybe then.....

"Ranma"

"hmm?"

"Good night"
