By, CrystalSea

A/n: Ranma ½ does not belong to me or any other characters within it. Sight…… let's get on with the story…oh yes and this is my first fanfic so be easy on me ok? huggles

AAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was there that Ranma realized that he had lost her at last………….

Two weeks later, ch.1 the tragedies affects.

There it was at last, the coffin of the girl she had been competing with for 2 years. The girl her so called fiancé loved, she had died. Shampoo looked over at Ranma, but what was that expression on his face? It was like his soul wasn't even in him, he just looked empty, his eyes filled with sadness. Then she looked at her former rival's family, Soun was just in a basin of tears. Nabiki just looked sorry and deeply sad with tears rolling down her cheeks. As for Kasumi, she was the same as her sister, just with more sadness showing on her face.

Now that Akane had died what would she do? She couldn't' help but feel sad and sorry for Akane and she also felt deep regret…..

Ukyo looked at the coffin in front of her, she saw Ranma and his empty paled expression, she couldn't help but wonder what he was experiencing. As for Soun, Nabiki, Kasumi, and Genma, you didn't even have to ask that question. But danmit! Now that Ranma has lost the only girl he ever loved, he wouldn't even consider marrying her. What would she do for the rest of her life? Then she looked back at the coffin and understood what she must do.

Nabiki and Kasumi were just in despair, they had just lost their youngest sister.

What would life be like now without the chaos of Ranma, Akane and the whole group? Also what would Ranma be like in a few months, would he still carry his emptiness?

The two older sisters just fell back into tears just imagining the poor life they had ahead…..

WHY COULDN'T RANMA PROTECT HER???!!!!!!!

I trusted you Ranma, I gave up on Akane realizing she was in love with you. But yet you failed to protect her and you failed me as well.- Ryoga just couldn't admit that he was at Akane's funeral, that her coffin was in front of him, it just couldn't be!! He wanted to kill Ranma for his insuperiority Saffron wasn't that strong, so Ranma could of saved Akane. Danm him!! With that Ryoga just cried himself out.

Three months after the tragedy things went differently in the Tendo household. Even in school things weren't so chaotic, but Ranma was the most different of all. Since Akane died he stopped enjoying life altogether, he cried himself to sleep and absolutely rejected his other fiancés. Nabiki, Soun, Kasumi, and Genma just lived way more quietly, its almost as if the whole family turned peaceful, something that would of never happened if Akane was there. Ryoga disappeared after the funeral, nobody know where he went, but then again neither the Saotome's or the Tendo's wondered. After a while Shampoo got heartbroken by Ranma's harsh rejection, and returned to China with Cologne and Mousse. As for Ukyo, she moved out of the country to Korea and opened a brand new okonomiyaki restaurant. The only fiancé not offended by Ranma's treatment was Kodachi, she never gave up but one day got so mad at his ignorance that she almost killed him in the middle of the night. After that she got sentenced to an asylum for 10 years. This was the time where they all said, " Akane come back."

A/n: so how was it? Don't kill me its going to get better. Plz review and tell me what u think.

Ch 1 continued, plans for the future-

" So Ranma, I know your still sad about Akane but its almost been a year now. We are about to finish high school and I was wondering where you were headed after that." Said Hojo Ranma's best friend. " I dunno, I think I'll be headed for college or sumthin, maybe take business classes and open a dojo to teach anything goes. But Hojo if you could stop talking about akane it'd be great!" Responded Ranma. " Oh well fine, anyway how's Kasumi? I heard she just came back from her honeymoon with Dr.Tofu. I mean finally I never thought he'd have the courage to ask her in marriage. But I guess it was about time she is almost 25 now." Added Hojo. " Well ya Hojo I mean things take time ya know? I'm happy for em, and also did ya know Nab. And Kuno are going out? I swear the weirdest couples have been forming since things got peaceful." Responded Ranma . " Well how about you? Isn't it time for you to get into one of those weird couples? I mean what about that Shampoo girl or Ukyo? Do you have any new about em? They were very cute and they loved ya." Suggested Hojo. " Na, I jus heard Shampoo went back to China with Mousse and da old hag, and Ukyo to Korea. Besides, they deserve somebody who loves them, and im not that guy. If I do love someone, I don't want to make the same mistake as I did with Akane."

After that Ranma went silent and hojo left. He did some long thinking and decided he would go to Kaii.

All his life, well since he met the Tendo's, he thought he would go to college with Akane. But faith took a sharp turn, and now he has to go to college alone. He had thought it over and over again, and kaii was the best college for him. Not only that but he would go away from Nerima, that town he lived in for 3 years, that town that had so many memories. Of course it was all the way in Hawaii( a/n, could you of guessed?) but he didn't care, without Akane here there was nothing to stay for. He wished Ryoga could've come with him, but he still hasn't come back since he disappeared. Where could he be? Well now was not the time to think of this, he already sent his application to kaii and he's leaving in 1 week. Ranma was packing, he decided only to take the most important things, he already took Akane's wooden door duckling. Then something dropped to the floor, he picked it up and this old feeling of heartache and sadness swept through him. It was an album containing 3 pictures of him and Akane. One was with them fighting again, the other with them sparring and the last one, was where they were both next to each other arm around neck holding a peace sign smiling towards the camera. Ranma decided to keep those pictures as a treasure he would guard. However now was the time to say goodbye to the family. He would be leaving tomorrow, how would he say goodbye? It was too hard, but as always Ranma was determined, only to start a new life. So, he went downstairs where he met many sad eyes.

" Ranma, are you really leaving us and Nerima?" Asked Soun. "Yes I am, it's time for me to go to college and start a life of my own." Answered Ranma. " Ranma you know very well Akane's coffin is empty. However you said you have seen her die in your arms before the mountains collapsed and you lost her. Let me ask you, are you going to Hawaii in a false hope to find Akane? Because if you are I must tell you that there is not a strand of hope that you will." Theorized Nabiki. " Nab, if I really thought Akane was alive I wouldn't of waited 1 ½ years to go and find her. No that is not the reason why I must go, I have stayed here long enough and it's about time I went. However I do want to find Ryoga on my way to Hawaii, he is the only person from here I want to stay and go to college with." Replied Ranma. " So I guess it's really time Ranma, well if that is what you think you must do, Dr. Tofu and I are 100 behind you. Just call us and say hi to Ryoga if you see him, but don't forget to come back and visit sometimes." Declared Kasumi.

"She's right, Ranma I heard America was a wonderful place and they have many wonderful people and doctors. I hope you will enjoy your stay over there, although I wish you would still stay amongst us. But here is a little medicine that I could cure just about anything, in case anything should happen." Said Dr.Tofu as he handed the little bag to Ranma. " RANMA MY BOY!!! I cannot come with you as I am getting old, but remember all our training when you were little, and don't forget your father.. If you do come back be sure to bring a little something for your father." Sobbed Genma. " Yes pa, but I probably wont come back here to visit for a long time, although I will write to you guys as much as I can. I will miss all of you dearly and wish you all the best lives, but tomorrow morning I will be gone. Thanks to you guys for all your hospitality and support all these years. Sayonara Kasumi, Nabiki, Soun, and pa, It was a pleasure staying here in nerima.
