Chapter Two: A New Beginning
Akane woke up to a bright flash right in her face.
"Unng...what's going on?" She said, looking around for a sign of where the bright light came from. It didn't take her long to figure out.
"Ohaiyo Gozaimasu!!" Nabiki chirped with a big camera in her hand. "This one's going in the scrapbook!" She added, before slipping her head out of the tent.
No matter how depressed Nabiki had become over the years, she always had room for blackmail. But Akane couldn't figure out what the situation was, until she looked beside her. Ranma was still laying there, with his hands and face mushed into the pillow, so you could only see one of his eyes. It startled Akane at first, she had forgotten all about him staying over last night. She gasped.
"Oh..it's just you Ranma," she said to the young man sleeping next to her.
He slowly opened his eyes and stretched. "What's...what's wrong Akane?" He asked yawning, trying harder to wake up.
"What do you mean?" She asked, slipping out of the sleeping bag.
"I heard you gasp, that's what woke me up." Ranma said, sitting up and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"It was nothing, I just forgot you were here." She said, getting a little embarrassed.
"How you could you forget a fun loving guy like me?" He teased, getting fully up, and standing next to Akane.
"Very funny," She said sarcastically. "We should probably get dressed and see what the rest of the family is doing."
"Your call!" He said, a little grin spread across his face.
As they walked out of the tent together Akane wondered if he remembered the promise they had made to eachother; Ranma was wondering the same thing.
Kasumi was just outside of her tent, putting things away in a big carrying bag. "Ohaiyo Gozaimasu, you two!" She said, with a cheery smile. "You two slept awful late...Akane, I would watch for father. He saw you guys leave the tent together, he might have something to say."
"Oh Kasumi there's nothing to worry about.." Ranma started, crossing his arms in front of him. "Me and Akane-" He was cut off but someone grabbing his shoulders.
"OOOOH I'M SO HAPPY!!!" Said Mr. Tendo, spinning Ranma around so they could be face to face. "It's so wonderful that you Akane are together at last! Now the Tendo school can go on and prosper!" Tears of joy began to pour down his cheeks.
"No wait, it's not what it looks like!" Ranma tried again. But soon he was being dragged away by another unseen face.
"Boy, I want the details!" Genma Saotome yelled once he had his son a few yards away from the rest of the family.
"It's nothing pop! Will you cut it out!" Ranma said, dusting himself off. "I just needed to get out of the rain last night...that is IT!"
"No boy! Have you learned nothing from me!" He went on. "Akane is your finacee...when you get a chance to be alone together -"
"I don't want to hear it pop!" Ranma yelled, cutting his father off. "There is nothing between Akane and me, you better let the rest of the family know that too!"
"You descrace me son!" Genma added before running over to the rest of the family, where Nabiki had joined as well.
Ranma walked over more slowly, hopping that by the time he got there his dad had cleared everything up. The last thing he wanted people to think was that him and Akane where an item or something.
"I'm sorry to hear it Ranma." Mr. Tendo said. "For a second there my hopes were up. Oh well, I am sick of being out in the wilderness, why doesn't everyone pack, and we can leave this afternoon." He said before everyone walked away, leaving Ranma and Akane by themselfs again.
"I should have known that was going to be a holy mess. Gomenasai about it." Akane said looking at her feet shyly.
Why was she acting so strange, Ranma thought. Is this the only way she knows how to be nice.
"Oh well! I guess we should start packing!" She said enthusiastically. "I guess I'll see you later, Ranma!" Then she ran away, back to her tent to get her things. Ranma couldn't help but get a fluttery feeling in his stomache.
"Stop it." He said out loud to himself, before walking away to get his stuff together.
Back at Dojo things were running pretty well. Ranma was meditating in his room, he had been trying to clear his thoughts so his training experiences could be better. Rather he wanted to admitt it or not, he felt behind on his abilities. There was a knock on the door, Ranma was both a little realived that he could stop this boring medition, but also a little annoyed about being interupted.
"Come in." he said, staying on the floor.
The door cracked open and Akane came in. They hadn't talked very much since the camping trip but the hadn't fought at all either. Akane felt a little empy since her and Ranma hadn't been around eachother, she would rather fight with him then have no contact at all.
"Hey Ranma, I was wondering if you would like to help me train a little in the hall. Don't worry I won't hurt you." She joked, it reminded Ranma a lot of when they first met.
Fifteen minuets later they were in the hall having it out. Only for training perpouses of course. Just like alway, Ranma would never try to attack Akane, which got her a little frusterated at times, but she just blew it off. Finally as she was delivering one of her strongest punches, he gracfully jumped over her and tapped her on the shoulder.
"You alway get me." Akane giggled...but was suddenly shocked that she just let something out like that. Could she possibly be changing?
"I can't let you win just cause you're a girl you know. Then you would never learn." Ranma said causually.
"I never asked you to let me win." She snorted. "But you know what? This reminds me a lot of when we first met." She added.
"Umm...actually I was thinking the same thing." He said. "Wonder if we will walk in on eachother again?" He joked, letting out a little laugh to relieve the tention Akane's comment had just brought him.
"Or maybe, we could just get naked and do it on purpose. Then we could take a steamy bath together...that sounds like a lot of fun." Akane said, her voice turned suddenly suductive, and she walked closer to Ranma.
"Wha...." Ranma squeeked. His face got red and he began to feel like his body had turned into a knot. "I mean...what if....how....you?....ugh..." He began to stammer.
"Cut it out Ranma! I was just kidding!!" Akane squeeled, punching Ranma in the shoulder. "Hee hee, you are so fun to mess with! But I am taking a bath now.....see ya when I get out."
"Oh yeah....of course...heh...I knew you were just kidding." Ranma said, trying to act mellow about it.
Two seconds after she walked out of the room, Ranma fainted right one the floor of the Tendo training hall.
