Chapter 5 Ranma's secret comeback!
"Nabiki! What happened to me?!" Ranma shrieked as he saw his reflection in the mirror.
"Well, Ranma you should know by now that information is not free. And besides the trouble you had caused me cost so much. You should be thankful I've given you a discount." Nabiki replied.
"Nabiki!" Kasumi said in a mildly irritated voice "You mustn't do that!"
Nabiki sighed. She can't let Kasumi down.
"Ok Ranma. It would be free today but next time its 300% interest, every time I help you."
Ranma frowned.
"Back to what we're talking about." Nabiki started. "That transformation is caused by the ramen you've eaten that contained mushroom powder which, causes anyone who eats it a six-year-old. So, did I answer your question?"
Ranma nodded but his eyes flashed a lot of questions and with that Nabiki continued.
"You have been sleeping in your sub-conscious for a day or two now and the red syrup we just gave you just helped you to comeback, mentally of course."
"By the way, Nabiki what did that syrup contain?" Kasumi asked curiously.
"Hmm. . . 100 pure red hot punded chili peppers plus boiled water." Nabiki replied with no reaction at all.
"Oh that's why you bought 20 packs of pepper the other day." Kasumi recalled.
Ranma suddenly felt the burst of fire in his tongue and his lips and then started screaming "Water! Water!"
"Well Ranma-kun. . . do you want this water?" Nabiki asked thoughtfully while holding a big bottle of mineral water, thoughtful for the money of course!
Ranma nods like crazy.
"Well, remember, our little deal, 300% interest if you don't pay immediately."
"Whatever. . . just. . . give. . . me. . . the. . . water!!!" Ranma said while fanning his mouth.
"ok!" Nabiki said in her cheerful mode.
"Oh my. . ." Kasumi murmured. "I guess those peppers could even bring back the dead." And after which she smiled sweetly watching the scenario.
~^^~^~^~^~~^~^~^~
"Onegai. . . Akane-chan tell me. Tell me where Ran-chan is?" Ukyo said, pleading.
"Ukyo-san. . ."
"Onegai. . . Akane. . ."
"Ukyo the truth is. . ." Akane thought twice and spoke when . . .
"I've found you now, Tendo, Akane! Ohoohohohohohohoh!" Kodachi suddenly said out of nowhere.
"Kodachi! Can't you leave me alone!" Stress marks appear in Akane's face.
"Ohohohoho!!! Tendo, Akane you're scaring me! You really are uncute!" Kodachi said as she leapt into one of the walls, "We are not yet finished Tendo, Akane. I will save Ranma-sama from his terrible fate and I shall be his bride. Ohohohohohohohohohoh!" And with that Kodachi disappeared, leaving thousands of black rose petals flying around with the matching piano sound effects. ^_~*
Akane frowned at the royal mess Kodachi had left and as she pivoted her heels to return back to the classroom . . .
"Akane-chan. . . Onegai. . . I just want to know. . ." Ukyo confronted Akane. "Onegai!!!"
"Ukyo. . ." Akane murmured while she thought. 'Ukyo, I wish I knew where he was. . . I wish I knew. . .'
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
"Do you get that Ranma?" Nabiki said as she passed a paper to Ranma that has the instructions on how he should act in front of everybody to make them believe that he was still Ran-chan.
"I get it but. . . how am I going back in my original form? And why do you want to keep it as a secret?"
"I don't know about the cure but at least we got you back, mentally, though we prefer the little cute Ranma's mind better. And for the next question, we just want to save you from the enemies that might attack you while you're in that form. We don't want Akane-chan to worry about you, you know. " Nabiki said with a smirk.
"Fine." Ranma replied as if he hasn't heard Nabiki's last statement.
"By the way, Nabiki, where did you get this remedy?" Kasumi asked, to give Ranma a time get over his flushing face and to be saved form Nabiki's torture of banter.
"Do you still remember Miyo?"
"Miyo? The fortune-telling girl from our class?" Ranma asked, guessing.
"Yes. I tried asking Miyo about the cure but she can't seem to find any that's why you ended up with that She said it might be effective so I thought of giving it a shot. I'm glad it worked." Nabiki replied in an as-a- matter-of-factly manner.
"You mean. . . you tried it on me. . .when it's not yet proven to be effective and safe?" Ranma asked as he felt his rage going sky high.
"I don't see any problem with that. Nothing went wrong and your back.." Nabiki snapped back.
Ranma sighed as he thought 'Tendo girls are weird. . . and speaking of which. . . where is Akane?'
"Oh. . . I almost forgot." Nabiki added, her smirk never fading.
"Nani Nabiki?" Ranma asked ruefully.
". . .you got to sleep with Akane in her bed."
"Nani?!"
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Akane hurried home the moment she heard the bell rang. She didn't want to mingle with anyone at the moment, because she believed that they'd only brag her about Ranma's whereabouts. That day, Akane told Ukyo that Ranma was on a training trip and that he didn't want to be disturbed. And gladly, Ukyo fell for it. It was pretty hard though especially for Akane because Ukyo was a nice person both to Ranma and her, well just exempt those controversies about the fiancée topic and Ukyo can be a best friend. Akane was tired and she felt like she was going to be sick anyone moment now. She entered the gate and decided not to enter the house first but the dojo. She slumped her legs to the floor the moment she entered and saw Ranma (the little one of course) Practicing his arts.
"Ranma. . ." Akane smiled weakly. "How was your day?" Akane asked cheerfully, though exhaustion was very visible on her face.
'Akane. . .' Ranma thought at the sight of Akane's exhausted look.
"Ranma? Daijobu?" Akane asked wistfully, as she approached.
"Ahh. . . hai. . . Akane. . . Akane-oneechan." Ranma said not sure of what he is saying. 'This is not going to be easy. . . Man! It's driving me crazy here! Why can't we just tell her anyway! Well I got to stick to the plan. ^sigh^'
Akane smiled. "I'm going crazy all day. . ." Akane said as she sat nearby within Ranma's sight.
Ranma just followed her with his eyes, urging her to tell him more.
"A lot happened today ^sigh^. And I'll be seeing the same thing everyday until he comes back."
Ranma just stared at Akane.
"Ranma, I'm sure Kasumi-oneechan's biscuits are done. Let's taste some. Ok?" Akane asked just to fill in the silence filling the air. 'I'm not sure about this, but I think something's wrong. . . Ranma-chan what's wrong?' Akane thought, basing from Ranma's actions, words and a whole lot things more she can't translate.
In the Kitchen
"Oneechan!"
"Hai. Ranma-chan." Kasumi smiled, most especially at Akane.
"Kasumi-oneechan? Why are smiling for?" Akane asked, confused by what Kasumi's smile meant.
"Okaeri. . . Akane." Nabiki greeted the moment she entered the room.
"Nabiki-oneechan why were you absent?"
"Eh? That? Kasumi and I just decided to help you a bit with your problem."
'Nabiki what are you saying to her now~! I thought it's a secret!' Ranma nervously thought, his hands sweating.
"Biscuits anyone?!" Kasumi chirped. 'Ranma I know you don't want Akane to see you like this. Good Luck . . .'
'Saved. Thank you Kasumi!' Ranma thought, relieved.
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
That night ^_~*
Ranma entered Akane's room, looking in both sides before entering, if the coast is clear.
"There you are, Ranma!" Akane greeted. "I've been waiting for you!" She smiled. "Sit beside me" Akane said as she patted the bed on a spot beside her.
Ranma nervously crept to Akane's bed, his eyes downcast for her not to see the blush that had formed in his cheeks.
"Say, Ranma, why don't we go to the Museum on Saturday? Let's go on a date!"
Ranma blushed, horribly mad.
Akane just giggled.
"You know Ranma, I need to unwind, so many things are happening to me now . . . So are you coming?" She said as she stretched her arms.
Ranma nodded.
"Ok that's all set! Saturday! I don't think I can't wait until Saturday . . . I feel so tired."
Akane noticed Ranma's silence.
"Ranma? Are you okay?"
"Hai . . . Oneechan. I'm just tired because I practiced kata this afternoon." Ranma replied making his voice childlike. 'Oh man . . . Could we just sleep!'
"I guess . . . we have to rest now . . . good night!" And with that she did her ritual, turn off the light and then plugged the nightlight.
"Good night Ranma . . ."
3 AM
Ranma squirmed. He hasn't slept ever since Akane turned off the light. He didn't even yawn. He tucked himself to his blanket when he heard Akane speak.
"Ranma? Are you awake?"
"Akane-oneechan why are you still awake?" 'Why do I have to call her Oneechan anyway?!'
"I was just thinking. You? Why are you still awake?"
"I don't know Akane . . . O . . . oneechan. . ."
Then suddenly Akane held him in her arms.
"Go to sleep now Ranma . . ." Akane said in a soft voice. "Good night . . ."
Ranma blushed madly.
'She . . . she smells good . . . warm . . . Akane . . .'
And with that, both of them fell asleep, while filling each other's emptiness in the cold of the night.
