It has been one week since the panda and Ranma appeared. The girls' father had yet to get over the fact that the fiancé that his old friend Genma promised him was a BOY! The girls of the house where rather pleased. They didn't want to get married anytime soon, and now that their fathers scheme had fallen threw, the girls could find their own fiancé. Ever since Genma and Soun had made the pact to keep the Martial Arts school within' their families they were scheming to get their children together. Soun had told his daughters this when there were old enough to 'date' Soun did not want his innocent Kasumi getting hurt, he didn't want his smart I-am-going-to-one-day-rule-the-world Nabiki becoming pregnant and he did not want his youngest daughter that looked so much like his beautiful wife to be taken away from him. On the outside it seemed like Soun did not love Akane. He made everyone believe-mostly Nabiki and Kasumi-that he thought Akane's body was just an empty shell holding a demon. But what he really thought was quite the opposite. Like Kasumi, Soun saw his wife in the girl, he saw a child that was lost and had no friends to speak to. A child who felt like an outcast in her own family! The family knew what Akane did at night. He desperately tried to block out the sound of her tears, as they echoed into the night. Soun had kept his distance from his youngest daughter. That is why she would never be able to keep the school going. Soun had never trained the girl. Keeping his distance was the best thing that Soun could think of. If he stayed away from Akane, then when she left it wouldn't hurt as much. He wouldn't have to feel that pain for a second time. He wouldn't put himself threw that again.
*Man is selfish. That statement is the truth. If man wasn't so selfish what do you think would happen? Would life as we know it stop? I highly doubt that. Would the world seem almost perfect? Maybe. But no one will know for sure. Least not anyone I know. If man wasn't so selfish and power hungry, I wouldn't have saved the dying child that is now alive…barely. They all think I saved her. I didn't, if anything I prolonged her suffering. She knows what is inside her. She knows that it will destroy her. She was selfish, in her own way. The child begged to die. But I saved her. I am a CAGE as she likes to call me. Maybe I am. Maybe not. One thing I do know, if I left the girl without her other half, she would die.*
Sweat poured from her brow, her chest heaved, her lungs begging for air. The girl was in pain. But she loved every minute of it. Akane had been sparring with Ranma in every spare second of the day. Akane was getting stronger and Ranma was finally losing up to fighting a girl. Which Akane questioned once, and was happy NEVER to ask the red-head again. The two girls seemed inseparable. They did everything together. Ran together, sat together while watching the TV, bathed together-only cold baths-Ranma said some mumbo jumbo about how it is better for the skin. Which Akane believed…It took some convincing though. The 2 girls even shared a room. People thought that they where more twins then friends. The girls just laughed and shared their parfae.
Strange things had been happening the first few weeks at the Tendo residents. The panda came and left as it pleased, but everytime the panda was gone a man was in his place. His name was Genma. He was Ranma's father, of course he treated the girl like dirt. And every time he did say or do something cruel to Ranma, Akane would attack the man with a blinding rage. Genma learned, very quickly to not insult his 'daughter' while Akane was in the room. But Genma's stupidity was the one and only thing that destroyed Ranma and Akane's close friendship.
She got sent home-yet again-from school early for fighting. Akane, however was quite happy with that. This way she got to be away from the others at school who were afraid of her, who hated her. Instead, she got to go be with her best friend. Her mind wandered, trying to find Talon. Lately he had been hiding from her. Akane couldn't understand why though. *It couldn't have been about the cage thing…could it?* Her mind searched for his presence. He was hiding from her..but where? Akane was so lost in thought that she didn't even realize that she was home. Or for that matter right outside the living room door, till a familiar voice broke her concentration.
"You stupid boy! Why do you constantly hide in that weak form!" Akane quickly hid before the 2 fighting would see her.
"Father, I don't want to tell her yet."
"Why! She is your fiancé, she should know!"
"I…I don't want to lose her friendship…Please father-"
"BOY NEVER BEG!" Genma raised his fist. "I will not have a son that is afraid of a woman!" Ranma caught his father's fist only millimeters before it hit his face.
"I will tell her in my own way father. I-"
"You will tell me what Ranma?" The duo stopped fighting and looked at the new comer. Genma smirked. "Go on BOY, tell her." Akane tore her eyes from Ranma to his father.
"Boy?" She whispered.
"Akane..I…I have something to tell you. Please don't get mad." Ranma gently took Akane's hand and led her upstairs. The curious girl did follow, but she tore her hand out of Ranma's. *Something wasn't right about the conversation downstairs. Her father kept calling Ranma a boy. Ranma is not a boy…She can't be…*
"Akane…I am sorry." At thoughs words, she turned on the shower and stepped in. The red-headed girl that Akane was so fond of changed into a dark-haired boy who towered over Akane. Her eyes widened in shock, at the sight of the soaking wet boy, that was fully clothed and standing in her shower. "Akane..Please forgive me. Please."
"no…no…Ranma…TALON!" The world turned black and Akane collapsed to the ground, hitting her head on the hard, tiled floor.
"Akane"

Abbasi – Well I am glad you like it. You are actually one of the first people to review me like that. (I have another account on ff.net ^_^) I can't believe that you have read that many fanfics. You remind me of my best friend Sarah. She is constantly reading fanfiction and telling me what to read and what is great. I hope you continue to read this fic and I hope my writing can give your GREAT review justice ^_^
Gohansfav1 - lol yes this will be a Ranma/Akane it would be very strange if it wasn't. At least to me it would be ^_^ Anyway I am glad you love it.
Tigerrelly - Ya I thought it made sense that Ranma's father would push him to be stronger for that purpose. And it is hard to tell if they will still be GOOD friends...But you never know. ^_^
lili boom - Ya, I know it seems odd that I made Ranma and Akane look the same, BUT I have a very, very good reason for that, I just cant tell you right now...others are listening. lol anyway, Boy Ranma did appear in this chapter. hehe I love him. ^_^
Aya_chan - So glad you like it. Next chapter will be up soon.
