CHAPTER FIVE
A/N:
Hello there!!! Chapter five is in!!! Well, I've not been updating lately 'coz I'm always busy doing schoolwork. Good thing I had some free time to update. Well, enjoy and do the usual R-ing & R-ing!
"Darn that Ranma!" Akane exclaimed.
"Cool down, darling," Ryoga told her.
Both of them were walking home.
"Who wouldn't be pissed off when somebody calls you a whore?"
"Darling." Ryoga said then wrapped his arms around Akane. "I don't care as long as I know that I love you."
"Ryoga." Akane said, "Yeah, you're right! C'mon, let's hurry or we'll be late for dinner."
"Yeah," Ryoga said, "I'm starved 'coz we didn't eat the pancakes that you ordered in Ucchan's."
"And we even forgot to pay."
Both of them laughed and walked their way home holding each other's hand. When the two reached Akane's house.
"We're home!" Akane exclaimed.
"Akane, Ryoga," Kasumi said, "Dinner is ready. Just come to the dining room already."
"Let's go, darling." she said to Ryoga.
They both went to the dining room and both of them sat.
"Itadamikasu," everybody explained then started eating.
Everybody ate silently. Mr. Saotome that usually blabs a lot during mealtime is unusually silent while eating.
"There's something missing," Akane thought, "Ranma."
"Akane," Soun said, breaking the long silence. "Did you know that Ranma has moved out of our house.?" he asked.
"Yes, dad," she replied, "I am fully aware of it because he moved to Ucchan's place. Ryoga and I were supposed to eat a snack at Ucchan's then he came carrying his bags." she narrated.
"Supposed to eat a snack?" Nabiki asked.
"Yeah. supposed to eat." Akane replied, "When I saw him, I was so angry about that incident in the classroom that I told him painful words. "
"But what made you leave?" Genma asked.
"Oh, it's just that I lost my appetite and I told Ryoga that it's better eating at home," she replied. But, the word Ranma said kept swirling around her head, "Whore. Whore. WHORE!!!" "Please excuse me but I'm having a headache," Akane said and left.
"Akane." Ryoga exclaimed then followed her.
"Akane, Ryoga, you haven't finish your food yet." Kasumi exclaimed.
"Weird things are happening in this house nowadays." Happousai exclaimed while Genma and Soun nodded. "Good thing I have a new collection," he said then showed them the new bra that he got.
"THAT'S MINE!!!" Nabiki shouted hysterically. "The hell with you, grandpa!!!"
"Well. since Akane has a boyfriend, I guess I'll be starting collecting your brassiers, Nabiki-chan!" Happousai exclaimed then gave out a hearty laugh.
"Darn you, you old freak!!! You never respected Akane when she had a fiancée!" Nabiki exclaimed, trying to catch Happousai.

In Akane's room.
"Akane," Ryoga said, sitting in the floor, "why did you leave suddenly?" he asked, looking at Akane.
Akane, at first didn't reply. She was silently sitting in her bed, and trying to evade Ryoga's stare. "Because, when I heard them say Ranma's name, I couldn't help but think of the word he called me."
"Why? Because you still love him?" Ryoga asked then clenched his fist.
"No, Ryoga! It's because I was humiliated, okay?! What if you were in my place then you were called a whore by a person who loves your boyfriend?"
"Well, he wouldn't shouted it out loud if you didn't kiss me in front of him," Ryoga answered, "You are fully aware that he loves me a lot and that he's hurt because he knew about our relationship then after that, in front of him, you kissed me? Hell, Akane!"
"Wait a while, who's side are you on?" Akane asked.
Ryoga wasn't able to reply.
"I should've known it," Akane exclaimed, "You love him, don't you?"
"Akane, I was just stressing out something you did that was not right," he explained, "Everything could be done at a specific place and time. What you did a while ago was against the rule! Don't think that when I'm pointing out something wrong in what you do, it means that I don't love you. I want you to bring out the best in you, Akane. And by doing this, it means that I love you and that I really care for you."
Akane was too stunned to speak to what Ryoga just said.
"Akane." Ryoga said, drawing near to Akane, thinking that something was wrong in what he said.
"Ryoga." she finally said, "Ryoga I'm sorry!" Akane exclaimed as tears fell in her eyes and she hugged Ryoga, causing both of them to fall in the floor. "Ryoga, I'm sorry if I'm too narrow-minded. From now on, I'll do my best to change my bad attitudes. I'm really sorry for what I did in Ucchan's," she exclaimed, still crying.
"Darling, that's okay.I love you a lot, that's why." Ryoga replied.
"Oh darling!!!" Akane said then embraced Ryoga tightly and then kissed him.
After the kiss, Ryoga exclaimed, "Darling, if you mind, I can't breathe."
"Oh!" Akane exclaimed then loosened her embrace.
"I love you, Akane."
"I love you too, Ryoga."

Meanwhile, at Ukyo's place.
"Whew! At last, we've managed to clean this room!" Ranma exclaimed, tired but proud of the accomplishment that he and Ukyo had done. He turned to Ukyo and saw her lying on the floor. "Ucchan!" Ranma exclaimed as he hurriedly went to Ukyo.
"Too. many. spiders." she murmured.
"Wait a while here. I'll get you something a drink." Ranma said.
"Wait!" Ukyo said.
"What is it?" he asked.
"All this cleaning made me hungry. I'll make us some dinner, Ran-chan. What would you like?" she asked.
"Whatever you want." he replied.
"Would pancakes do, Ran-chan?"
"Yeah."
"Let's go down together. You take the drinks while I'll make us some pancakes, okay?"
"Alright."
Both Ukyo and Ranma got down and Ukyo started to make pancakes while Ranma went to the refrigerator to get them something to drink. But, as he was doing so, something gazed in his mind. "Why is she still calling me Ran- chan? And why am I still calling her Ucchan? We have no affection anymore. Well, if we started calling each other Ran-kun and Ukyo-san, it could be fine. But, damn, it sounds terrible! Well, I think it would be better to keep what we call each other."
"Dinner's ready!" Ukyo called.
"Okay, wait a while. I'm just choosing what to drink. Which would you like, Ucchan?" he asked.
"It's up to you." So Ranma just grabbed any drink for Ukyo and ran to the restaurant. Both of them sat in a nearby table and said, "Itadakimasu."
The two ate quietly, each having each thinking of different matters until Ukyo broke the silence. "Ran-chan, isn't it strange why I still call you Ran-chan?"
"Huh?" Ranma asked, pretending not to be aware of THAT fact.
"You know, I broke our engagement and I think I should not be calling you Ran-chan anymore. But it's a better sound to the ears than me calling you Ran-kun and you calling me Ukyo-san. You know, I could call you Ranma-kun but I prefer Ran-chan better and."
"It's okay," Ranma said cutting Ukyo's speech.
"It's okay?" she asked.
"Yes, Ucchan. We've been calling each other like that since childhood so why would I change that?"
"Ran-chan."
After eating, they washed the dishes and cleaned up the restaurant, completely closed it for the night and continued unpacking all of Ranma's things. At one and a half hours, they've managed to settle all of Ranma's things; all his clothes in the cabinet and a new set of bed sheet have been placed in the bed.
"Wow! It looks as good as new!" Ukyo said, amazed in their accomplishment.
"Thanks for the help, Ucchan." Ranma said then sat at his bed, and suddenly, his face looking sad.
"What's wrong, Ran-chan?" Is it about what happened a while ago? About what Akane said?" Ranma didn't reply.
He was silent for a while. "Ucchan, is it true that whatever you see in the future cannot be changed?" he asked.
"Why did you ask that?" Ukyo asked back, then she went to sit near Ranma in his bed.
"Well," he started, "one night, I had a dream that the springs in Jusenkyo will dry up. So, I woke pop up and told him that maybe we could borrow Happousai's magic mirror and travel back to the past. We were very close to getting that mirror but that darn old freak woke up and instead of going to the past, we landed in the future instead. And, at the Tendo residence, I saw something that hurt me a lot," Ranma exclaimed as tears started falling down from his eyes.
"Ran-chan." Ukyo exclaimed, embracing the crying pigtailed martial artist, trying to comfort him.
"Ucchan, I saw that Akane and Ryoga are already happily married and had children. At. At that time, I really didn't know how to react, Ucchan. I. I wanted to get out of that place. I wanted to think that it's all a bad dream. but. but I think what I saw in the future has already begun, Ucchan. And. and I don't want it happen because I want Ryoga to spend all his life with me and mine with him." he said, burrowing his head deeper in Ukyo's embrace.
"Don't worry, Ran-chan," Ukyo said, brushing his hair, "I believe that what destiny unites, life divides. this is just a test to prove your love for Ryoga. Just stay strong and, who knows, in the end, you'll both live happily ever after." she said, lifting Ranma's face and smiled.
"Thanks, Ucchan. I'll be strong. I'll hold on."
