"Where the hell have you been!?". The man that Akane was with stood up and pushed Akane behind him.

"How dare you talk to her like that!" Just as Ranma was about to yell Akane stepped in between them.

"Wait. Souji-san, this is Ranma." Souji looked at Ranma and sneered.

"He's seems worse than you had described."

"Hey!" Ranma was about to hit Souji when he thought of something. Akane was back. She was standing right next to him and he was wasting his time with this guy. Then a few more of Ranma's gears started turning and he came to the conclusion that this "Souji" was the one who kidnapped Akane 2 years ago.

Ranma grabbed Akane by the arm and pulled her towards him.

"Akane, did this guy ever do anything to you?" Akane immediately turned a bright red.

"Ranma, you pervert! How dare you say something like that? Why would you even think that?" Ranma looked dumbfounded.

"Well, when someone kidnaps a girl it's usually for a reason!" Souji face faulted and Akane began laughing.

"Kidnapped? Ranma, Souji didn't kidnap me. I ran away with him." Akane realized that her sentence came out wrong but decided to see what Ranma had to say before she corrected herself.

"I see...you ran away...with him." Souji stepped up to Ranma.

"I assure you it's not what you think. Akane and I..." Ranma turned on him

"Who asked you!?"

"Ranma!" Ranma looked towards the street, not wanting to meet Akane's glance.

"Ranma, right now all I want to do is go see my family. I'll tell you want happened later, ok." Ranma's head shot up and his eyes widened.

"Ok Akane, I'll see you there." And with that Ranma bolted back towards the Tendo dojo.

Ranma got back to the house just as the party was leaving. They were all shocked to see him.

"Ranma?" They were all surprised to see him after what they had told them.

"She's back. I just saw here outside of town. She's coming here. No one leave!" They all looked relatively shocked. Especially Soun who, after realizing what Ranma said, began to cry.

"She's back Ranma repeated to himself as the rest of the Nermia Wrecking Crew went back into the house." Ranma followed when he saw Akane turn the corner.

AN: I know I promised to tell you where Akane was in this chapter but I'm thinking that it'll be better to stop here and start with that in the next chapter. Besides, I thought that the last paragraph works better as an ending. *shrugs* Comments welcomed and appreciated.
