Chapter Three
Dinner went on as usual. Ranma and Genma fought over food while the Tendo family talked amongst themselves. The only thing different was Ranma kept stealing little glances at Akane.
What could she be up to? * He wondered to himself as he unconsciously blocked his father's chopstick that were nearing his plate. Snorting to himself he looked down at his plate to find some of his food missing. Apparently he hadn't been able to block all of his father's attempts. His head snapped in the older Saotomes' direction only to see the glasses clad man smirking, waving his chopsticks and shaking his head. Ranma was about to pound his dad into the ground when something stopped him.
"So Akane. .remember what we have to do tomorrow okay?" Akane smiled excitedly as she helped Kasumi clear some of the dishes off the table. "What's this all about Akane?"
Ranma's ears perked up at Nabiki's curious question. * Yeah Akane, what is this all about? * Ranma thought as he scooted closer, intent on listening in to find out what her 'great plan' is, or so he dubbed it.
Akane however was one step ahead of her dear fiancée. She had noticed him moving closer to her from the corner of her eye and smiled coolly at her sister. "I'll tell you later okay nee-chan?"
Nabiki shrugged a 'whatever' and wandered off as Akane cleared the rest of the table. Ranma turned around and was instantly met with a triumphant smile from Akane as she walked off into the kitchen. Ranma was fuming now. She knew he was listening in! Anyone could see he was now obviously upset that his plan was foiled.
* Just you wait Akane! I'll find out what you're up to! *
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Akane woke up bright and early the next day. Birds were singing loudly outside her window as she stretched in bed. * Thank Kami for summer vacation * she thought to herself as she opened her curtain, allowing her room to become flooded with early morning sunlight.
A knock at her door startled her and she spun around, making sure the poster was out of sight less the person on the other side was Ranma.
"Akane. .open up, it's me."
Akane sighed a breath of relief as she moved across the cold carpet of her room to the door. Cracking it open a bit, she peeked around the corner to make sure it was who she thought it was on the other side. Satisfied with the results of her peeking, Akane opened the door fully, allowing the middle Tendo in.
Nabiki flopped down on the still warm bed and crossed her arms. "So. .what is this all about hmm? Kasumi said you were planning something and I want in on it."
Akane looked around outside for a certain someone, and upon hearing his snores coming from the closed shoji doors, she closed her own and turned back to her sister. "What was that all about?" Akane sat down next to her and picked up the mini poster. She looked at it then thrust it in her sister's general direction.
Nabiki stared at it a bit, then looked at Akane who was staring at her, ready for any kind of response. "Let me guess ..you want to enter this to prove Ranma wrong or something along the lines. .right?" Akane's eyes widened. "H-How did you know?" Nabiki looked a bit surprised. "Wow, you mean you really are going to enter this?" Akane looked down at her hands. "Well yeah. he's always saying that I'm not feminine enough or I'm clumsy or.." Nabiki held her hand up "I know, I know, I hear all of it everyday. So, you really are serious about all of this huh?" Akane nodded.
"So are you going to help me?" Nabiki stood. "Well, since you're dead set on it, the only thing I can do is offer my services." Akane eyed her suspiciously. "How much?" Nabiki's eyes widened yet again. "Pardon??" Akane crossed her arms, her eyes still set on the middle sibling standing by the door. "How much will all this cost?" Nabiki smiled "Well, since the goal here is to prove Ranma wrong and the look on his face when we succeed is going to be priceless, this, little sister, is going to be free of charge."
"Are you sure?" Nabiki's smile widened. "I promise!" Akane slowly uncrossed her arms. "Well, okay, but remember I'm going to hold you to it." Nabiki opened up the door, and then turned back to her sister. "Okay, just meet me downstairs by the phone. I'll call around and see what this is all about then we'll go out. I'm sure we're going to have to get a lot of things." Akane nodded as Nabiki left, then gathered her things and headed straight to the bath.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ranma wandered aimlessly around the Tendo residence. Boy was he bored! His father and Mr. Tendo were on an early morning outing and wouldn't be back until breakfast.
Ranma sighed and plopped down by the koi pond, throwing tiny rocks into the water, scaring the fish every couple of minutes. He was deeply troubled, for he was constantly plagued with a certain question.
What was Akane up to?
Just the he spotted Nabiki making her way back to the house from the mailbox. Maybe he could get some information from her. Yeah, that's right. She always has info on people; surly she'll have some on her own sister!
For a price, that is.
Ranma groaned. He was broke as a joke, and with Nabiki's high prices for info, he'd have better luck with other methods. He thought about his situation for a minute and decided to that maybe he could work off the debt. He really wanted to know what was going on! He hopped off the rock bent on trying to get info from Nabiki when a sudden call sent him in the other direction. And at top speed no less.
"Breakfast!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Akane stepped from the bathroom fresh and clean. She wore a simple sundress and her now shoulder length hair was pulled up into a simple ponytail. Yep, she was feeling simple and clean. (AN: I love that song!) Wasting no time, she made her way to the telephone, hoping that Ranma was too busy to play 20 questions with her about why she wasn't heading to breakfast. Luckily he was stuffing his face.
"Got the number?"
"Yeah, it's on the poster"
"Great hold on."
Nabiki picked up the receiver and dialed as an anxious Akane looked on. She was so happy. This time she was going to make Ranma eat his words.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Breakfast was long over with now, and again for the second time that day Ranma found himself wandering around the house, bored.
Everybody was gone! Genma and Soun had decided to go check out the new sake house that had just opened up down the street. With that thought in mind, Ranma knew that they weren't going to be back for a while. Kasumi had gone out grocery shopping and Akane and Nabiki had left right after breakfast.
Ranma snorted as he spotted the phone. Nabiki had been on that thing most of the morning and as soon as she hung up her and Akane were gone. He was about to walk away when something colorful caught his eye. Picking it up he read it over about three times before putting two and two together. He picked up the phone and hit the redial button.
"Hello, this is Hanna the information lady for the Miss Japan pageant, how may I help you?"
Ranma quickly hung up the phone, his eyes wide as baseballs.
"NO WAY!!!!!!!"
KTKG: wow that was long!! So how did you guys like this chapter? I know things are kind dragging on and stuff but please bear with me! I promise that in the next chapter there will be some kind of romance, plus you'll get to see Ranma formulate his own plan! Review, Review, REVIEW!!!!!! Thank you!
