Chapter Six: Akane

"Where is he?" The one time I wanted to apologize for real to Ranma and he's missing. I ended up here at the park near the large fountain. I sat on the bench to take a break so I catch my breath. I've been running around for about an hour. In such a small place I can't seem to find one stupid boy who can turn into a girl.

"A-Akane?" I looked to my left to see Ryoga along with some girl. I wonder if she's his girlfriend.

"Oh, hi Ryoga." I said standing and going over to the two. "Who's this?" Some reason I wasn't liking this girl so much, but she did seem like a nice girl.

"This is, this is Akari. Akari this is Akane." Ryoga seemed a bit nervous, but he tends to act that way a lot so I just guess that's how he acts.

"I've heard much about you Akane. Ryoga told me about all the stuff that goes on with you and Ranma, and of course his fiancées." Akari had a big smile on. I guess she's trying to make a nice impression on me. I don't see any reason not to be a friend.

"Funny he's never mentioned you Akari." I never have heard Ryoga ever utter her name. What's up with that?

"Uh, well, I didn't have a reason to until I could find her. Plus she was mad at me from before, but I set her straight." What the heck was he talking about?

"I still have to prove that fact. It's hard to believe that girl was really Ranma, but I'm willing to believe it considering Ryoga's cu-" That's when Ryoga covered her mouth nervously. Has she met Ranma before too? Why hasn't he mentioned any of this either? What went on between those three? "Ryoga why'd you do that?!" That's when Ryoga whispered something to her, but I couldn't hear it. "Anyway, Akane is Ranma around?"

"I can't find the idiot. I've been looking for him for an hour." Why'd this girl want to see Ranma? She is Ryoga's girlfriend right?

"He and I are to fight. I sent him a challenge awhile ago." Ryoga and Ranma were gonna fight again? They do that every three weeks at least.

"Ryoga!" I saw Ranma land in front of Akari and I and only three feet from Ryoga. He looked ready to fight, and I'm not sure whether he saw us two girls or not. "I thought I heard you. So lets get our fight going so I can get home and calm Akane before my room is destroyed." How dare he?! Not only does he not notice me he goes and makes fun of me. Wait, did he make fun of me? He at least ridiculed me I think.

"All right then." Ryoga said jumping away to give them room as I saw Ranma get ready to fight. These two are such big idiots. "I will show you my new attack."

"A new attack?" When I saw Ranma and heard the tone of his voice I knew he was excited and I felt myself smile. I liked him this way. It's like nothing bothers him in this state. When a new challenge is presented he becomes confident and happy. Maybe this is one of the reasons I love him. Still that's no reason for him to ignore me.

Chapter Six: Ranma

"Ryoga!" I jumped through the trees and bushes and sure enough Ryoga was on the other side. I stood about a good punch distance from him. "I thought I heard you. So lets get our fight going so I can get home and calm Akane before my room is destroyed." I got in my fighting stance as I thought about what Akane would do after seeing what went on at the Cat Café. I'm sure she's on some sort of rage filled rampage.

"All right then." Ryoga jumped away to allow himself room and got ready as well. He was a bit stronger this time around. "I will show you my new attack."

"A new attack?" This just got a whole lot more interesting. A new attack, no wonder his aura is stronger. I thought this would be a boring battle, but a new attack. I wonder what it is. Will I be able to counter it? Should I take him down before he can use it? No I definitely want to see his new move.

"So lets begin Ranma. I have things to do." He had that stupid confident grin on so I knew he was full of himself. I nodded and the fight started. Ryoga moved at me for a punch with his right arm. I ducked and uppercut the lost boy. I need to provoke him so as to see the new attack.

"Arrogant Tiger Blast!" I let loose my aura blast as Ryoga countered with his Bakusai Tenketsu (Breaking Point) that deflected my blast.

"Heh. I don't recall seeing that attack before. This is where I defeat you Ranma!" He got in a stance folding his arms. His new attack was about to be revealed. I can't wait to see it.
