Disclaimer: I do not own Ranma ½ and its characters. I'm just enjoying my
life by writing something about them. Ok? Are you satisfied with that? So
let's go back to the story.
Chapter 3 A bit of Realization
"Tendo-kun!!!! Promise me! Promise me that no matter what were gonna unite our schools!!! Promise me! Ne? Tendo-kun? Ne? Ne?" Genma snorted emotionally at the thought of giving up the free food, free lounge and all the free stuff.
"I don't know if my little girl could wait that long!" And after a long pause. . . "Why did these have to happen anyway!" a stream of tears flooded in Tendo, Soun's eyes.
"Daddies no need to be emotional!" Nabiki butted in, out of nowhere.
"Nabiki-chan? Do you know a cure for it. Ne? Ne? Ne?" Soun asked, curiosity getting the better of him.
"No. . . not yet. but I know someone who might know." Nabiki replied.
"Eh? Who?" Soun, again, raised another question.
And with that Nabiki gave her father a wink and gravely said. . . "Don't worry Otousan everything is under control." And then she left leaving Genma and Sound perplexed by her comment.
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
"So, what flavor do you want?" Akane inquisitively asked the little Ranma.
"Chocolate, Vanilla, Double Dutch, Rocky Road, Strawberry, Blueberry, and Pistachio."
Akane's sweat dropped.
"Ah. . . That's a handful. Pick something you really like."
"Rocky Road then!"
"Ok! 2 Rocky Road ice creams please!"
They sat first in a bench before they ate their ice creams. Akane looked at Ranma's satisfied look as he ate the ice cream.
'I didn't know he liked Rocky Road. . .' "Um. . . Akane-oneechan?"
Akane was startled.
"Nani?" she asked suddenly, snapping out of her reverie.
"Arigato for the ice cream!"
"Ah. . . Anytime for you Ranma. . ."
Ranma smiled a broad grin on his face and continued eating his ice cream.
Akane again stared at the little Ranma, which reminded her a lot of those times when he thanked her and the way he said his 'thank you!' Akane sighed and continued eating her ice cream.
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
That night
"Ah!!!!" All of the sudden Ranma shrieked as if he had seen a ghost and everyone, as if on cue, went in the guestroom to see what had happened.
"Ranma-kun Daijobu?" Kasumi motherly held the child in her arms.
"Pa. . . Pan. . . Panda. . ." Ranma said pointing at the sleeping panda beside him.
"Saotome-kun!!! You frightened him. . ." Soun said, waking the cursed form of Genma.
^Snore.^
^ Snore.^
^ Snore.^
"Saotome-kun will you wake up already?!"
"Umm. Otousan. Can you lower down your voice? You're waking up the whole neighbor." Kasumi thoughtfully said.
"Oh yeah. . . Thanks for reminding me."
"What's going on here?" Akane entered the room, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
"Oh that? Ranma was just a little frightened by Saotome-oji-san and his cursed form." Nabiki replied.
"Hmmm? Oh that." Akane sleepily replied.
"Are you okay now?" Kasumi calmly asked Ranma.
Ranma nodded.
"Demo. where did Otousan go and why is the panda here?" Ranma asked with a worried look on his face, thinking that his father left him.
"I guess. . . we'll just explain it to you tomorrow morning. It's kind of late and we still have school tomorrow." Nabiki said as she left the room.
"She's right Ranma-kun. . . I guess we'll just have to explain it to you tomorrow morning." Kasumi agreed. "For now, we have to sleep. . .Why don't you sleep with Akane tonight so that you won't be frightened?"
"Me?" Akane asked, slightly awakened.
"I hope you don't mind, Akane-chan." Kasumi added.
"Um. . . yeah sure."
'I think its okay. . . Anyway he isn't the perverted Ranma. . ." Akane thought as she led the boy to her room and tucked him under the covers.
"Good night, Ran. . ." but before she can even finish she saw Ranma's sleeping form, sound asleep with his lips slightly parted, ". . .ma. . ."
She turned the lights off and plugged the night-light and snuggled beside Ranma in her bed.
2 AM
'Oh man! I can't sleep! I've been counting more than a hundred sheep by now but still. . ."
She stirred silently, hoping it didn't wake the sleeping thing beside her. Then suddenly she heard him moan. She sat up and looked at his face, which was illuminated by the moonlight.
Akane smiled.
'He looks so cute when he's asleep!' Akane thought as she stared at him.
And then after a while a thought bothered her. . .
'Maybe if Ranma and I ever get married. . . our son would probably look like this. . .' she thought until reality caught her red-handed.
'What in the World am I thinking? Ranma and I getting married?!' she thought as she mentally hit herself with her mallet 'that's ridiculous! He doesn't even like me! He keeps telling me that I'm an unute, lousy tomboy, who's built like a brick, and can't even cook. He doesn't even notice me. . . because he's other fiancées are better and I'm. . .I'm. . . just not good enough for him. . . so why do I even bother? So why do I even try to impress him?'
'I don't know. . .' she thought, answering her own question.
She looked at Ranma again, this time removing his bangs that covered his face.
'I don't know why I'm doing it but I like doing it. . . especially for him. . .'
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
That Morning
Akane scurried her way to school.
'Oh gosh! I'm late again! Oneechan should have waken me up! Oh no! I almost forgot Ranma! He'll be mad at me again for not waking him up!'
Akane already pivoted her heels when she realized something.
'Oh . . . I almost forgot. . . Ranma . . .'
She stopped dead on her tracks as she looked at the fence, where Ranma usually ran on and dashed again on her way to school.
"Hurry Up, Akane!!! You can do it!" One of Akane's friends cheered as she ran through the halls of the school.
"I finally made it!" Akane said while panting heavily.
"I'm glad you reached here on time! That was some exercise!" Yuka said in a relieved voice.
"Eh? That's odd?" Miyu commented.
"What is?" Akane asked nervously.
"You know? When there's an Akane, there's a Ranma and when there's a Ranma, there's always an Akane? You know what I mean. It's kind of odd not seeing you together." Miyu said while searching for something behind Akane as if she was hiding something.
"Oh that. . ." Akane searched her mind for reasons for Ranma's absence. 'I've never thought of this! Quick Akane! Think!'
"Umm. . . Ranma is absent today cuz . . . umm . . . he has . . umm . . . measles! Yeah. Ranma has measles! That's it!"
'That was close!' Akane thought.
"And do you expect us to believe that?" Yuka continued.
Akane's sweat dropped.
"We know you pretty well after almost 4 years of being friends and if it is something you don't want to tell, well. . . you can just tell us that. " Miyu added.
Akane can only look down. She was ashamed of herself. They knew her too well and there she was, lying.
"Oh come on, Miyu! Ranma has a measles! Right Akane?" Yuka winked, changing the scenario in a split second.
"Oh yes. . . He has. . . Tell him to get well soon!" Miyu finally gave in.
"Minna. . . Arigato. . ."
"You owe us big this time!" Yuka teasingly said. "you better tell us what happened, when it's done. . . !"
"I'd like that." Akane replied, her face relieved from a little trouble, at least at that moment.
But there was still a lot of time before the class would be dismissed and this is but the start.
^To be continued^
Thank to those who reviewed and flamed me! I really appreciate it! By the way, sorry if the characters were OOC, I'll try to do better in the next chapters to come. . . (if there will be more chapters to come?) Well, That's about it. . . I hope you guys Review or flame or whatever! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas to all of you!
