Ranma stood up and Akane stood behind him. To Akane, the girls weren't much of threat to Ranma but Ryouga was a big threat. She recalled all the times Ranma got beaten up because of Ryouga, and she didn't want Ranma to get hurt. Ranma picked up Akane and ran away.

Akane looked back, to see only Shampoo and Kodachi chasing them. They ended up in the field, and Ranma put Akane down, and he told her to run away, Akane shook her head violently, "Ranma, I" Akane was about to say, but she was stopped by Shampoo who threw some round object, and as soon as it hit the ground, a plume of purple smoke escaped. The smoke paralyzed her.

Ranma yelled Akane's name, but she couldn't move her head or her body, she could only see the grassy part of the field. She didn't know what was going on but she heard a variety if heavy objects hitting the ground near Akane, She knew that Kodachi and Shampoo were trying to hurt Akane, but Ranma would make sure it wouldn't hit her . Akane couldn't move her lips, the only movements she was able to do were breathing and blinking. Soon she heard a scream, "RANMA!!"

she knew it was Ryouga. Ranma would say some things but Akane couldn't understand Akane couldn't understand; she had lost the feeling in most of her body and now her ears, and she couldn't hear much.

Akane was able to hear a little, but it was quite faint. She felt the ground shake below her. Soon it was quiet, but then she felt something land beside her. and she heard the faint sound

"Akane....."

Akane knew it was Ranma. She felt some more things happen; the ground shaking, and many things and faint yell of Ranma. Akane wanted to scream, when she felt something; more or less she felt a liquid by her shoulder. Akane tried to move her mouth, and in the process, it hurt her. And Akane felt her body go numb, and she soon was unconscious.

Akane woke up, and she saw that she was in her room, she had bandages on her hands, then after awhile, she jumped out of bed, and ran down the corridor, and she slid open the room where Ranma slept, and saw the room was empty.

She ran downstairs, to see only Kasumi, her dad and Happosai . "Kasumi, where is Ranma?" Akane asked in a frantic tone

Kasumi gave a weak smile to Akane

"Akane he has been in the hospital for 3 days" Kasumi said

"what?...."

"Akane-chan, you have been asleep for awhile too, the doctors had had to attach all sorts of needles and stuff, in both your hands and on your neck... it was deeesghasting" Happosai said

Akane didn't say anything

"Akane why don't you visit him one time, when you do, I think he i will /i still be alive" Mr. Tendou said

"Father!" Kasumi shouted Akane ran upstairs. She didn't want to feel any worse than she already did. After awhile, somebody knocked on her door. Akane said "come in" and in came her two sisters.

"Akane, don't mind what father said" Kasumi said.

"Yeah Akane, besides Ranma is still okay" Nabiki added

*/i okay? What's that supposed to mean?*

"You want to go see him?" Nabiki asked

"I don't think she could Nabiki" Kasumi said

Akane looked at Kasumi

"That poison could still be in Akane's system, Dr. Tofu clearly said that she needs to be in bed for at least a week" Kasumi said

"Please Kasumi?" Akane asked in a low voice

Kasumi smiled, and she looked at her watch, sighed and said "Okay, you can go, only for 2 hours, then you have to get back here at 4:30, you still have to rest"

Akane dressed up, and Nabiki went with her. Akane wanted to ask Nabiki a lot of things, and so now was the perfect opportunity to do so but she thought it would be more or less a hassle to her sister, so she asked the one that seemed most significant at the moment..

"Nabiki, I have a lot of questions to ask you" Akane said

Nabiki shrugged and then she said "fire away."

"Why didn't you tell me you were plotting with Ranma?"

"Well.... he paid. And he doesn't have the right experience with girls and stuff"

"Heh."

"Ranma's a sweet guy Akane, and he isn't only sweet, he is terribly shy."

"I've noticed" Akane said with a smile.

Soon they arrived into Dr. Tofu's clinic. "Hey Akane and Nabiki" He greeted

"Hey Doctor Tofu" They greeted back

"Oh, Ranma's upstairs. He has a couple of guest's right now" Dr. Tofu said while pointing upstairs

Akane and Nabiki went up the stairs, and opened the door with Ranma's name on it. They saw Ukyou, she was crying, Genma, and Cologne. Ranma had many things scattered about his room. A large bell with Chinese writings on it, a vase filled with black roses, and what seemed to be a squid pancake.

Nabiki went to the table beside Ranma's bed, and she signaled Akane to come closer. Akane came closer to take a look at her fiancé; he had a few bandages in his face, and many on his arms. Akane pulled up a chair, and sat by Ranma.

She sat there and looked at her fiancé, she would stroke his face from time to time, and before she knew it, it was 4:27. Nabiki called Akane, but Akane told her to go ahead.

Akane pulled out the panda doll Ranma gave to Akane on Christmas from her bag, and placed it on Ranma's table, Ukyou left after Akane did. Akane stared a her fiancé and she stroked his face was about to walk out when she heard a weak voice say

"Akane........"
