Chapter 5!
Ranma plopped down his bag that held his disguise, sighing as he slid down to the ground beside it. He was now in male form again, and a bit worn out. Slowly he rose from his seated position, checked outside his room door for a certain someone, and quickly made his way to the bathroom.
Once in there he turned the water to the furo on, letting the contents fill with warm slightly steaming water. Carefully he removed the color contacts from his eyes, and undressed himself, slipping slowly into the water.
Sighing contently he soaked in the tub, letting his thoughts take flight. The past couple of days had been torture to him. Aside from the normal training, he had been working hard at learning the dance moves for the pageant, as well as watching out for Akane during practices. Boy, Shampoo and Ukyo could be a handful sometimes!
They had made numerous attempts to injure Akane. * I would have expected that from Shampoo but Ukyo? I thought she was different! Well, at least Kodachi isn't in it!* He shuddered. * Thank Kami she's out of town, and that she took Kuno with her.* He stretched and made his way out of the furo. Yep, the past couple of days had been tough on him.
* How does Akane do it?*
He sighed again, throwing his dirty clothes in the basket sitting on top of the dryer. He frowned as a thought came to him.
He and Akane had become pretty close during the last couple of days. He was glad at first, but after awhile he didn't feel right about it. He was pretending to be her friend, something that in a couple of weeks will be revealed for the hoax it is. She didn't know it was him, he was supposedly just some girl that wants to win the contest just as bad as she does.
He just didn't feel right about that. True he was there to watch out for her, but he was also there to see what her great plan was against him. And she was just so happy; he didn't want to ruin it.
* Maybe I should drop out*
He shook his head, contemplating if should or not. "I guess it'll have to wait until tomorrow," he said to himself as he exited the bath and made his way to the dojo for some late night warm ups.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Akane entered the bath, it's still moist air signaled that somebody had just been using it. * Must've been Ranma* She thought as she surveyed the basket sitting on top of the dryer. A red Chinese shirt and black pants lay crumpled in there. * Oh yeah definantly Ranma*
She sighed and thought about the previous couple of days. Who knew that beauty contests could be so tiring? Akane had always thought that all you had to do was look cute and smile while wearing some elegant dress. Luckily for her dancing was one of her strong points, otherwise she wouldn't be so sure of her making it as far as she has.
Especially with Shampoo and Ukyo in the contest as well. Akane smirked. Shampoo has had to talk yet, and as soon as she opens her mouth, she'll be gone. The only reason she is in it is because she lied on her application, but eventually that will be found out.
* That's one less opponent* she thought bitterly, for she knew that even with her out of the way, she still had to beat Ukyo and her new found friend Kana.
Akane smiled. Her and Kana had gotten to be rather close friends during the past couple of days, but every time she looked at her, something always bugged her. Something seemed awfully familiar to her about Kana, but she couldn't figure it out. She strongly resembled Ranma, but her eyes . . . they were a totally different color.
Shrugging, she stepped inside and once again the furo was filled with warm water. As Akane undressed she spotted something on the edge of the sink. It was a container of some sort. As she advanced on it she saw that it was a contact lenses case. "Who could these belong to?" She opened it up and peeked inside. "Brown? They're colored contacts. Who would wear color contacts in this house?" She stared at them some more. "Hm, they're the color of Kana's eyes . . ."
She stared at the contacts some more when she suddenly thought of something. Anger rose inside of her as she slammed the case shut, realizing who the contacts belonged to.
Wrapping a towel around herself she hurried out of the bath, completely forgetting about the furo and what she was about to do. She made her way to the dojo, cursing herself the whole way there. "How could I be so stupid?! Arugh! All the clues were right there in front of my face! How could I have missed it?!"
She finally reached her much-wanted destination. With out thinking she stormed in on an unsuspecting Ranma, catching him off guard. "Ran-MA!!!!!" he spun around and immediately spun back around. "Akane!!!! Put on some clothes will ya?" She didn't hear him as she continued on. "Ranma turn back around NOW!"
Ranma did as he was told and turned back around slowly, looking anywhere but her and her body. "What is it?" Akane held up the contact case. "What are these?" Ranma looked up. "What are what?" She shook them, making the liquid inside swish. His eyes widened.
"Mind explaining to me why you have them?"
Ranma began to break out in a cold sweat. * Uh oh*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
KTKG: Ok, I know this chapter is kinda short, and it's a real change in mood, but bear with me because I have plans for this! Seriously! So, just let me know what you guys think ok? I'm not really all that sure if I'm going to keep going with this.
I think that's about it . . . hope you guys like this chapter!
