Chapter 4 Just Friends
Finished with her packing, Akane walked to Ukyo's house, upon reaching the house and ringing the doorbell, she heard the sound of her best friend as she greeted Ukyo.
"'Kane!" Came the happy voice of Ukyo.
"Ucchan! I've missed you!" Screamed a very excited Akane, stepping up to give her friend a big hug. "I've SO much to tell you!"
"Me too! Come on in!" came the equally excited reply (A/N I know you must be getting deaf from all those screams, they haven't seen each other in a long while so don't mind those 2.)
As Akane stepped in to the small yet cosy apartment of her friend, she looked around *I wonder how long it's been since I've been to Ucchan's.* "Ucchan? Have you eaten yet?"
"Iie, demo I was about to start. Okonomiyaki?"
"Hai! Arigato!" Akane said, knowing how good her friend's cooking skills were. *I wish I could say the same about mine.*
After a while, a most delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen and Akane felt herself getting jealous again over her friend's culinary abilities.
"Here. Please enjoy," Ukyo said as she place in front of Akane a plate with an okonomiyaki on top. There was a comfortable silence as the two just ate. After a long while, Akane finally said, "Ne...Ukyo..." *It must be serious if Akane addresses me like that* "You remember when I told you about that family reunion of mine? Well, my family is holding it again and unfortunately, Ryoga, broke up with me so now I've no one to go with. and it was okay at first until Happosai had to demand that I bring my iinazuke along."
"WHAT! So how now?" Ukyo enquired "I'm sorry that Ryoga broke up with you and all but having your grandfather demanding you to bring along your iinazuke must be worse. Do you need my help? "Cause you know I can help you 'persuade' Ryoga into going along with you." She asked, flexing her muscles to emphasize her point.
Grinning evilly, Akane put her hand into her bag and pulled out an old photograph and said, "Ucchan, it's not needed. I've already found just the person to do this job.
Peering at the photograph, Ukyo could make out the chibi version of her friend but not able to recognise who the other was. " 'Kane, who's that?"
"Ranma, my 'husband', " she pulling out another picture of Ranma. "That's him now." She said pointing to Ranma (who was grinning idiotically at the camera.)
"Wow, I'm impressed, you salvaged the situation so fast and you even managed to get a good-looking guy too." Ukyo said.
"Handsome! HIM! Puh-leeze!" Akane said disbelievingly. *He is quite handsome now that I look at him but hell no am I ever gonna admit it*
"Well, since you put it THAT way, I glad you managed to solve your problem. So now what are you planning next?" Ukyo asked.
Akane smiled an evil smile and whispering told Ukyo her next step.
"I'm impressed, congrats. Hope it turns out well."
"Yup, um.Ucchan, I've been staying here for too long, I better be going back soon. I'll call you and tell you about the progress ne?" Cocking her head to one side, Akane picked up her bag and left Ukyo's house.
Dashing back home, Akane plotted out her next move. She picked up the phone and with shaky fingers dialled the dreaded number. "Um. Kasumi nee-chan help me tell Dad I'll be coming this year and I'm bringing my husband along okay."
"That's great Akane-chan! I'll be looking forward to it." Smiling, Kasumi put down the phone.
"Kasumi, who's that?" asked Nabiki raising an eyebrow looking at the phone her sister had just put down.
"It was only Akane. She said she would be coming and she was bringing her husband along."
*Husband eh? I'm not too sure about that.* Keeping her thoughts to herself Nabiki went back to her room.
Looking at Nabiki, Kasumi wondered out loud, "Ara. I wonder what's wrong now." Sighing then shaking her head, Kasumi headed back to the kitchen.
A/N: Ok, slight change in plans. Didn't want Akane to let her family know she's going and bringing Ranma along especially when she's expected to be going already.haiz.*breathes out a mushroom cloud* Hope to see your reviews soon. Ja ne!
