Chapter 3
The sun was rising slowly and the birds were beginning to wake; yet they were not the only ones. Ranma Saotome was up and about practising his Kata's in the back garden. His mind racing thinking about the night before, and about his fiancé.
He was in the middle of a particularly difficult kata when he sensed rather than heard, Akane approaching. He stopped and turned to face her.
"Good morning Akane"
He said brightly
"Good morning Ranma, how long have you been up?"
"Not long, but hey if you're not doing anything today we can start our search for a master of Wado-ryu"
Akane nodded at him, and smiled
"I'll go pack. See you at breakfast."
She left to go back inside and Ranma then leapt up to his room and packed his bag too.
Half an hour later Kasumi called everyone for breakfast, and they all rushed downstairs. At the end of the meal Ranma stood up again, like he had done the day before and said
"Akane and I will be going away to train for a while, just so you know we've decided to marry at the age of 20."
He looked at Akane when he said this and smiled at her, she smiled back and he continued
"I ask you not to tell everyone where we've gone because we don't want them following us, okay"
This he aimed at Nabiki
"Akane are you all set to go?"
"Hai, let's go. By daddy, Kasumi, pop, oh and Nabiki I'll pay you to keep quiet about this. But please if someone offers you a better offer don't take it. Please."
Nabiki was a little shocked at her baby sister's tone but nodded her head in appreciation.
{{{10 minutes later}}}
Ranma and Akane were standing in the back garden with their bags on their backs ready to leave.
"Ranma how are we gonna travel?"
"Rooftop I guess"
"What but I can't do that!"
Ranma looked at Akane and smiled
"Don't worry I'll help you and you'll get it after a while"
He grasped her hand and jumped up onto the roof, turning to her he asked
"Ready?"
She beamed at him in anticipation
"Hai!"
Together they leapt from one rooftop to another, quickly leaving Nerima behind, along with all the other troubles that followed Ranma around, their only hope was that Nabiki kept her mouth shut.
{{{3 hours later}}}
They had now easily covered 60 miles, and decided to stop for lunch.
Ranma jumped down to the pavement and they looked around for a café
"There's one!"
Akane was pointing to a small little restaurant on the other side of the street, they leapt over to it and entered the dimly lit room.
"Good afternoon, may I help you?"
An old aging man had approached them as soon as they had entered the café
"Hai, we were just looking for something to eat. What do you sell here?"
"Okonomiyaki"
Ranma and Akane just looked at each other.
"Okay, we'll have 2 large Okonomiyaki please"
The man nodded and disappeared into the back
Ranma and Akane made their way over to a table and sat down.
"Do you think he's any relation to Ukyo?"
Ranma looked up at her
"Possibly, but if he is I don't want to give away out identity, it might cause problems."
"Okay. So where are we gonna head now?"
Akane glanced at Ranma
"I think we should head a little bit further North and then perhaps turn west slightly, I think they study Wado-ryu in that area."
"Okay."
The man walked back over carrying their food, they thanked him and ate their meal quickly, paid him and left, and doing as Ranma said, they headed north.
