Chapter One: The Promise
Rain began to pour down on the campground some where near Kyoto. The Tendo family had decided to take a camping trip for a couple of weeks. It would help to bring the family back to peace, as Akane's father had said. Lately the entire household had been in nothing but Chaos. Ranma and Akane fought even double more than usual. Nabiki had her newfound love over Kuno and was lost somewhere in teenage wasteland depression. Even Kasumi had raised her voice more than once over the past couple weeks.
So now being stuck out in the middle of nowhere, having to fend for yourself was really going to make everything better. Yeah right, Akane thought, snuggling down into her large sleeping bag. She starred out the side of her modern red tent, watching the silhouettes of the trees in the wind.
A crash of thunder and a flash of lightening sent Akane jumping up with a little yelp of surprise and fear escaping her lips. Just then a figure unzipped the door to her tent and slid in. It was Ranma in his female form. A cocky sideways grin was on her face.
"Was that a cry of fear I just heard, from Ms. Macho Tomboy?" She teased, sitting on the other side of the tent, across from Akane.
"RANMA YOU...BAKA!!! DID YOU REALLY COME ALL THE WAY OVER HERE TO RIDICULE ME? WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO YOUR OWN TENT!!!"
"Chill out Akane! That's not why I'm here....I just had too." Ranma said, busting out in laughter. A pillow flew at her head. With reflexes of a martial artist, Ranma caught the pillow and threw it back before Akane could blink.
"Anyway," Ranma started again. "Some rain water got in my tent, and, well....look at me." Her brown eyes radiated some kind of angelic air in the deep glow of the lantern. Akane hesitated for a minuet, wondering if she should really help him. Really, she had no intention of not helping.
"Fine, here." Akane said, handing Ranma the remaining hot water from the tea she made that night.
Ranma poured it over himself. The figure of the tiny red haired girl, grew to the form of a muscular young man.
"Man is that better!" He exclaimed. "No way I was going to stay in girl form all night."
Akane hit her forehead with her hand. "Ranma you really are a BAKA! Sure it's better now...but what happens when you go back out in the rain....there's not water left!"
"OH CRAP!" Ranma said, collapsing dramatically and looking down at his hands. "What am I supposed to do now?" His eyes flicked from his hands up to Akane's, sheepishly of course. There was no doubt about it, baka or not, he was one nice piece of ass.
The moment was soon broken by a flash of lighting splintering across the sky, soon followed by the loudest crash of thunder the night could provide.
"EEEKKK!!!" Akane yelled, jumping again. Oh great! she thought, not if front of Ranma again! She looked at him waiting for some kind of sly remark. But instead she was surprised to see his eyes were wide with fear, there's no way he could play it off.
"Ha! Now who's afraid of storms?" She said, laughing so hard she fell over backwards.
"Shut up, Buffy Bufferten they don't have storms this big in China!" He yelled back, looking down in shame.
"Okay okay, why don't you just say here tonight. It's obvious we are both terrified of this storm. Plus we can't have you turning into a girl again." She said suppressing laughter.
There was a long pause when both of them realized what was just suggested. Akane felt herself go red, but wasn't going to make a big deal about it, and tried to keep her composer. Ranma on the other hand was babbling over thoughts but finally managed to say.
"Do you want me to sleep there?" Pointing to the small space next to Akane.
She felt a warmth go over her body at the site of him. He had gone from a cocky sixteen-year-old, to a shy little boyishness in one second. Ranma was truly cute when he was embarrassed.
"Well it doesn't look like there is any place else." She said, unzipping her sleeping bag so they could both fit, trying to act nonchalant about it.
Ranma felt very comfortable lying next to Akane. Even though they had been in the woods for two days she still smelled like flower shampoo. He used to hate that shampoo because it made him smell like a girl all the time, but on Akane it was wonderful. It reminded him of how feminine she really was.
"So did you want to talk or something?" He asked stiffly.
"Do you think it could help us not fight anymore? I'd hate to think we could be driving the family insane." She asked, pulling his pigtail playfully.
"Nothing can stop the fighting of a macho chick, tomboy like you!" He spit.
"SHUT UP RANMA! Do you want me to send you out in the rain again!? I'm trying to fix things here!" She yelled, sitting up again.
Only one way to fix this mess, Ranma thought to himself.
"Akane, please lay back down." He said softly. "I can't smell your hair when you are far away like that." His voice trailed away and he wanted to bite his own tongue off. He realized over time that a good way to get Akane to calm down was to pay her a compliment. But he really didn't mean to be that truthful, or that cheesy. But when he thought about it, what he said wasn't all that truthful. The truth was he could smell her all the time, her scent was everywhere. On his clothes, in their house, in the air and in his mind. Damn, he thought, that was even cheesier.
But it worked fairly enough, she calmly laid her head back down next to Ranma's.
"So anyway..." she started. Ranma could hear how flustered she had become. "We should try to get along. For the family's sake, it's not fair to them we fight all the time."
Ranma almost didn't want to open his mouth, afraid of what might come out. He could already since he was on a roll tonight.
"W...well sure, I would do anything to help the family." He finally said.
"Okay then, it's settled. We will try to start getting along from now on. To help the family." Akane said, putting a hand on Ranma's shoulder.
He rolled over to face her, and instead ended up hugging her. It was a clumsy, stiff hug, but it was a hug all the same, he was going to try, and as the drifted off to sleep, Akane was smart enough to know that.
