'Thoughts'
Chapter 3
*****
Ranma looked exhausted when he finally came back to the house.
As he sat down by the dinner table he realized that Akane was smiling at him. Not a long smile, just a short, cute smile but it was enough to make him wonder what was up. He hadn't even apologized to her yet.
*****
Akane couldn't sleep that evening. She was so confused. 'What did Ranma want earlier?' She thought 'To apologize?' No, that couldn't be it. He had probably forgotten all about why she had left in the first place!
She gave up. She couldn't sleep. She decided to go outside for a while, just to cool down her thoughts a bit.
She walked out to the pond and sat down for a while. It was a quiet and cold evening but still not too cold. Akane liked it like this. It was so quiet. No fathers who were fighting over a game of chess. No Kasumi or Nabiki talking and asking her favors. She liked Kasumi and even Nabiki but sometimes she just found it more comfortable to be alone. No -
*****
Ranma was sitting on the roof. He couldn't sleep. He had kept wondering what was up with Akane and why she had been smiling like that to him. He WAS going to apologize, he had too! He -
Ranma realized someone had come out from the house and now walking over to the pond. He crawled down to the edge of the roof to see who it was.
It was a girl, still in her pajamas and with shoulder long hair. "Akane?" He whispered to himself.
'What is she doing out here?' He thought 'Why is she.Whoa.'
His hand slipped off the roof and took his body with him. Luckily he landed in a bush, which took off most of the fall. 'Ouch!' He thought.
*****
Akane turned and looked around as she thought she heard somebody say her name. She looked around but couldn't see anyone. 'Silly, Akane,' she thought 'No one is here. It was probably just the wind.'
She turned back to look at the pond but turned quickly again as she heard a *crash* as if someone landed in a bush or a tree.
"Ouch," she heard someone say.
She quickly ran to the bush she thought she heard the voice come from and to her surprise she found Ranma there.
"Ranma?" she asked, "what are you doing?"
*****
Ranma quickly looked up as he heard a voice and found Akane standing over him.
'Oh great,' he thought; 'now she has to see me like this.' He didn't answer her, just looked into her eyes. 'She looks so beautiful tonight.' Akane looked back, starring into his eyes, searching for an answer.
"I think I'm stock," he finally answered.
Akane let out a small giggle but then started to help him up.
When Ranma finally got up they both walked silently over to the pond and sat down, starring at the moon. None of them said anything and they didn't look at one another.
"So, what were you doing out here?" Ranma asked, breaking the silence.
"Couldn't sleep," She answered; "what's your excuse?"
"I had a lot on my mind, which I needed to think through" He couldn't lie to her. He wouldn't lie to her even though he knew that she was going to ask him a lot of questions about what he had been thinking about.
Akane nodded and smiled and looked back up at the moon but didn't do further than this. No questions, to Ranma's relief.
'This is it,' Ranma thought, 'if you want to apologize, you have to do it now!'
"Akane?" Ranma said quietly but she heard him
"Yeah," She said
"Why did you break off the engagement?"
She looked at him, surprised. 'Wrong question!' Ranma thought with great regret.
"I." She started; "You said that if you could choose then you would marry somebody who can cook." Tears were forming in her eyes. "So I decided that it would be best for you if you had one less fiancée to take care of." Tears were now streaming down her face and there was no way she could help it.
Ranma hated this. Hated to see Akane cry and most of all hated the question he had asked which had caused the crying in the first place.
"Akane, I--" Ranma started.
"Ranma, don't bother. You don't have to." She said before he could say anything. Akane started to get up.
"Akane!" He yelled, "Since when did you start taking me seriously?" Also standing up, tall in front of her.
"Unlike you, I do take people seriously!" She yelled back, more tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Stupid tomboy" Ranma murmured under his breath as he tried to find a way to say something good back to her. Something, which could make her forgive him for everything, he had ever said to her but before he knew he had already said the wrong thing.
"That's exactly what I mean," She said, "That's what you think of me! Look Ranma, I broke off the engagement because I want to make this whole choosing-one-fiancée thing easier for you! You were the one who started this fight but think about it, you don't have to do this anymore. You don't have to look after me anymore because I am not your fiancée! You don't have to fight with me! You don't even have to talk to me!
She couldn't say more than this even though she wanted to. There were too many sobs in between her sentences so if she continued he wouldn't be able to understand her anyway.
She covered her eyes with her hands and ran back up to the house, leaving a stunned Ranma behind.
Ranma sat down again and looked into the pond. 'Why do I always have to do this?' he thought 'Why do I always make her cry?'
This wasn't the first time they had had this kind of fight. You wouldn't be able to count the number of times they had been fighting like this on two hands. But this time was somehow different and he knew it. He had never seen her cry this much and it was his entire fault.
Ranma stood up and went over to the dojo. He needed to work out a bit to clear his mind.
*****
Akane was lying on her bed still with tears running down her face.
'Jerk,' She thought 'He always have to say the same careless things to me.'
She knew that it was somehow her fault too. It is not like she didn't say anything to him. But couldn't he see the reason for her breaking off the engagement? She had given away her happiness so he could be happy.
She turned to face the wall
"Baka," She said quietly "I love you"
A few minutes later she was a sleep.
