~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Tendou family was in mourning. How couldn't they be? It had been six days since Akane had been kidnapped. When Ranma came home, bruised and bloodied, everyone knew there was no hope left. The Tendou place seemed to be haunted. Every day Soun Tendou could be seen wandering the house on the verge of tears. And every time he saw somebody he'd burst out crying and come running after them- with Kasumi not far behind trying to stop him. Even Genma seemed to be eating less! (Talk about frightening!) Only Nabiki, it seemed, wasn't affected much- but late at night you could even hear HER cry. Akane's absence was tearing them apart.
Ranma was probably the worst. Locked in Akane's room. Not letting anybody in. Not even for food. He could always sneak through the window at night, but what was the point? Akane was gone, and all because of him. * Six days* thought Ranma, * Almost a week...* the black haired boy let a tear fall down his face. How could he let Akane be taken away? And how could it be..him? The face standing above him, did he imagine it? Or was it really who he thought it was...
~*~FLASHBACK~*~
" Akane! Let go of Akane!" Ranma said from the ground.
The figure had done something to her. She looked almost unconscious. The kick..that guy had blocked his kick! And with incredible strength. How had he done it? He'd stopped it in mid air and before Ranma knew it, he was on the ground with his chest hurting like hell. He could feel the blood seeping through....AUGH! What was going on?!
The figure looked down from above him. It..it was- Ryouga! Was it REALLY Ryouga? How could it be? Ryouga would never- could never- do something like this to me. To Akane. Unless..could it be that he saw?
" Ryouga...don't..do this!"
Suddenly a blinding light flashed across the street. " Aaaakkkaaaaaaannnnneeeeee!!!!!" Ranma couldn't see a thing. Where was Akane! That was all he could remember, before he woke up.
~*~END OF FLASHBACK~*~
*Even...if it was Ryouga, how could he get so much strength? How?* Ranma's thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.
" Um...Ranma? It's me, Nabiki. Can I come in?" " What do you want Nabiki." Ranma clenched his teeth- couldn't they see he was in pain?
" I think I might know how to...um..how to find Akane. I need your help."
Ranma froze. Find Akane? Could it be true?

AKANE'S POV
I woke up in some sort of cavern. Where am I? I wondered.
I decided to walk outside and look around. Why couldn't I remember anything?
Outside it felt like autumn. The trees were bright colors and I began to shiver.
I noticed a sweater by the cave. It was yellow with black splotches on it. I reminded me of pigs for some reason.
I slipped into it and waited outside. For what, I'm not too sure.
The wind began to get bigger, something stirred in my head- was it a memory?
( THE MEMORY-from what Akane remembers)
The park..the wind was blowing...a bench. I'm on a bench and...I'm not alone. He's there....who's he?....He's getting closer....pressure on my lips...I feel my heart stop...bushes....someone watching....we're not alone...sister..my sister!..she looks like me...clicking...sleeping...Him....running...and then-
" Akane!" I jerk awake from my dream. It felt like a dream. Who is Akane? The name sounds familiar.
" Um, A-Akane, I-uh- I'm sorry if I've been gone too long. I -um- got lost...and uh..yeah. Are you feeling any better?" The boy seemed to be talking to me. Am I Akane? The boy..he looks very strong. Wears a head band like the sweater, and he carries an umbrella. I remembered something..that headband...it reminded me of
" P-chan?" The boy starred rather blankly.
" A-A-Akane..um...I-I'm Ryouga."
" Oh-uh- right. Ryouga. I'm feeling lots better." The boy let a relieved look settle on his face. I wonder why. Where did p-chan come from? And who was Ryouga. I felt so confused. Perhaps Ryouga could help...
" Um Ryouga? I have some questions."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~
" So it was Ryouga...." the blue eyed boy clenched his fist. His head bowed down- a tear ran down his cheek.
The girl across from him nodded meekly, " mmmhmmm." She said barely audible. She felt vulnerable- so close to tears. She'd never been so afraid as now.
" It all makes sense. His motive, his incredible strength, the tranquilizer...everything." The pigtailed boy murmured angrily. * And Shampoo. I never thought she'd sink this low...but where could they have taken Akane?* The boy looked at the pictures Nabiki had shown him. The two figures in the bushes. Ryouga and Shampoo.
" So how do we get Akane back?" Ranma asked.
" Don't look at ME. You're the big martial artist dude!" Nabiki said angrily.
" Well you said you needed my HELP! So I just FIGURED that you- miss genius- had a plan." He remarked.
" Look Ranma. I need my little sister back." The flare in her eyes seemed to be gone. Nabiki sat there on the verge of tears (though Ranma could barely tell). " We ALL need her. Dad, Kasumi, me...and most of all- you." The brown haired girl looked up at Ranma. Was that...at tear in Nabiki's eyes? Was Nabiki CRYING?
" Nabiki....I'm really sorry. I never thought that-" the boy was cut short. Stunned by what had happened he looked down to find Nabiki crying on his shoulder. He put his arms around her.
" Nabiki, I WILL find Akane. No matter what." The sapphire-eyed boy hugged her bit tighter and pushed her away. " Don't worry." Ranma looked at Nabiki's eyes- still stinging with tears. How could some one who had swindled him -and many others- countless of times be so...emotional? * I guess everybody DOES have a heart- even Nabiki.* the boy hugged her again, quickly.
"Th-thanks Ranma...I needed that." Nabiki wiped the remaining tears on her sleeve. The dark haired girl got up and turned towards the door. Before she left, she turned to Ranma, " Um, Ranma? I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone about this." She straightened up her carelessly tossed hair.
" Sure Nabiki." Ranma said sincerely.
" And, um..thanks." The girl went out quietly shutting the door behind her. What had just happened? Ranma lay down on Akane's bed and wondered to himself. * Perhaps... Nabiki feels more than we thought.*
The boy drifted off into slumber, his head filled with thoughts of Ryouga, Shampoo, Akane, and Nabiki.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
OMG!!!OMG!!!! Was that cool or what?!?!?!?!?! Ok, I know Nabiki was TOTALLY OOC, but I HAD to do that!! I HAD to!!!! So, what do you think so far eh? REVIEW!!!!!!! Good, bad, I wanna hear it ALL!!!!
