Leaving Love Behind: Chapter Two
"AKANE WAIT!!" Ranma wrapped his arms around Akanes waist and pulled her back down into his arms. "I didn't mean it that way. It's just that....you...I think...I think I..."
"Ranma?" whispered Akane out of her astonishment.
"I love you Akane." Akane gasped. He loves me? He...Did...Did he just say that?!
-Next Week-
It's a very weird week for both Ranma and Akane; since the proposal of Ranma's affection towards Akane. Ranma confessed while Akane...well, there was another disstraction. Other than that, it was the regular. The Tendo's and Mr. and Mrs. Satome was oblivious to the new connection, but the multiple fiances of Ranma's wasn't. They weren't 100 sure if there was something different, but they knew something changed since Ranma was whispering and mumbling to himself most of the time and just ignored everything they did to get his attention. He was thinking of something 24/7. While Akane on the other hand was blushing scarlet red everywhere she went.
Omigawsh! Omigawsh! was all Akane was thinking as she was running her morning jog.
-Flashback-
"I love you Akane." Ranma has just confessed his love for Akane.
"I..uh...Ranma I.." Akane was having a hard time finding her words for her response. Ranma stared at her unsurly. He didn't mean it to come out that fast. Should I just laugh and say it was a joke? It was too fast...She's gunna say No and I'll...I'll be stuck with Shampoo or Kodachi. ?!?!?! Oh My Gawd. I shouldn't think like that!
Akane was still muttering "I...Uhh..Um..." I wanna say I Do Too. But it's not coming out! What if it's a sign?!...I'll say it and get it over with! "Ranma, I think I..."
"AKANEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!" boomed a sorry voice. It belonged to Soun.
"Akane," Ranma and Akane jumped a few feet away, "daddy wants us in the living room." said Kasumi with the usual angelic smile on her face, from below.
"Ok, I'm coming" Akane headed down leaving Ranma in a daze and confusion of what her answer was going to be.
In the living room, Akane didn't listen to a word Soun was telling them about their mother. Akane was busy blushing madly and rethinking the event that had just occured.
-End Flashback-
"I love you Akane." ...ARGH! It's stuck in my head. Should I tell him? I...NO! He might be joking...He does act like everything's normal. Thanks to daddy I have some time to think....-sigh- I should tell Ranma. Even if it's a joke, I can laugh about it and go on can't I? I'll tell him....I'll tell him that I....I'll Just Tell Him Whatever that comes out of my mouth when I get home! I'll call him and tell him. Yeah. That's the spirit Akane! Akane continued her jog with I'll tell him when I get home! in her head. She got more and more confident after each time she repeated those words....well, til she saw her house just up ahead.
Ranma was sitting in front of the little pond thinking once again...This woman's driving me crazy! I need her answer! Damn Soun coming at a bad time! Was it "Ranma I think I fell madly in love with you too." said Ranma in a high-pitched voice. "Or..Ranma, I think I hate your disgusting guts. Get out of my life. I can't bare to see you anymore. Your a pervertic cross-dresser. I can't bare to be engaged to you!" The immitation he had just did somehow ripped at his heart.
"Bravo Ranma! Best actress award goes to you. Hahaha." Ranma immidiatly turned towards the voice who had overheard his little 'moment'.
"Great, how much to shut you up, Nabiki?"
"Oh Ranma, you read my mind like a pro! -grins- 3,000 yen." replied Nabiki with her evil grin.
"WHAT?! You think that I'd pay you that much for keeping a secret?!"
"Ooooh, so it's a secret. From the way you said it, I'm guessing it's someone you love? Haha! Wait until Akane hears about this!" Nabiki threatened. NO! NOT AKANE! Expecially her! She'll think I was making fun of her or think that I love someone else and give up if she was about to confess too! ARGH!
"I dont have that much. I have 1,000yen though..."
"-Sigh- Ranma, I cant keep that much of a secret only with 1,000 yen! Tell ya what, Get me a new CD and do my grocery chore and I'll forget it." Ranma thought this over. CD which would only cost a little over 1,000 yen most of the time. And just a little trip to the grocery's! What the heck! "Ok I will." Ranma said as Nabiki gave him the money and list for grocery's.
"Remember Ranma, I want BoA's new CD." Nabiki headed towards the living room with her new manga. Ranma headed towards the front gates when he heard someone whispering to herself. (A/C: Oh, big guess this is. )
"I'll just tell him! And it'll all be over. If he wasnt joking, it'll be a new beginning, but if its not... "Oh forget it! I'll just tell him!" Akane turned and jumped a few feet seeing a pig-tailed boy in front of her.
"Tell who what?" Ranma asked cooly. But inside...Oh my god. Is she gunna confess her love to me?....Or someone else?! NOO!!! I CANT LET THAT HAPPEN!!!
"Huh? Oh..I was..I was about to.." Akane was in panic as she was trying to get her thoughts straight. Tell him Akane! TELL HIM!! He's Right there!!! SAY IT!!! "I was about to...I was about to tell daddy not to be so upset!" What?! WHAT WAS THAT AKANE?! What happened to I Love You too?!?!?!?!?!?!
"Oh. Well, I gotta do some errands. Cya." Ranma brushed past her dissapointed. You're not good enough Ranma....Oh please, you can tell that was just an excuse! I bet she's regretting that she didnt tell me she loved me. "As if..." Ranma whispered to himself in dissapointment as he headed towards the grocery.
-That Night-
Akane sighed to herself in shame that she didn't just come out and say "I Love You" to Ranma. Ranma was all nice to me these past few months. Except for the times when he tore my heart in pieces.....I love him. I love him so much but cant say it!!!! Akane screamed into her pillow. I'll tell him tomorrow morning! Yea. I will. I'll tell him...I...Love...him... and Akane feel asleep to a dream about Happiness with Ranma.
-Morning-
Akane was eating breakfast when Ranma came down late as usual. "Good mornin'" Ranma greeted to everyone. Akane knew she needed to tell him. She was determined! But lost all her courage when she saw his handsome face inhaling the food while everyone was starting to leave. She blushed once again into a tomato. No. I gotta tell him! I will! She lifted her head once more and failed. She lost all her determination. She knew it was the right time for all the family members returned to their independant activities. I have to. Akane thought to herself. I will. I am determined! JUST SAY IT AKANE!!!
"Umm..Ra-" She was cut off for Ranma was already leaving the living room towards the kitchen with his empty bowl. Akane scowled. Grr, he just HAS to leave at the wrong time! I'll tell him next time...Akane said to herself with a sigh.
Oh course everytime she met him, he took her breath away and left her speechless. Hours has passed and it was already getting dark. Akane was exausted trying to get those simple words out her mouth. Ugh....I'm so tired. My face is about to explode from all the blushing!! I can't blush anymore.... But, Akane was proven wrong by Mother Nature as she blushed once again noticing Ranma practicing his agility without a top on. FuFuFu......he looks so sexy.....!!!! SNAP OUT OF IT AKANE!!!! It's a perfect chance! Go up to him!!! Go!....I cant..I'll just blush and he'll just ignore me and go somewhere else... Akane argued with herself while watching Ranma do stunts she has never seen before.
While Akane was busy arguing and blushing, Ranma, was getting nervous. Why is she looking at me? Does she think I'm showing off? What if I'm bugging the hell outta her?....But she might be staring with admiration and affection. Haha..that would be the day. Ranma noticed Akane still didn't take her eyes off him and he started to flush to all different kinds of ruby. Forget it. I can't wait anymore. I'll just ask her and get it over with! Ranma turned around and went up to Akane who was looking at the ground muttering something to herself.
"Hey Akane. I gotta ask you something." Ranma said seriously for the first time in....God knows how!
"Huh?! Oh....Sure Ranma. Whatdya wanna talk about?" Akane asked nervously. Omigawsh. What if he wants me to get the fuck outta his face? . I knew I shouldnt've stared at him! I know he thinks I'm a total lunatic.
"I wanna know." Ranma said flat out.
"Huh? Know what?" Akane didn't know what he meant.
"I wanna know....I wanna know how you feel about me!" Ranma shouted a bit too loud. Ranma blushed once more as Akane looked flabbergasted. "I wanna know how you feel about me. I wanna know what you were about to say, the night on the roof."
Ha..ha......He...wants to know?...He wants to know... "I..." Akane began to say. "I..I..I love you too..." Tears formed in her eyes. I told him. I finally told him. Akane felt a humongus burden come off her chest.
"You...you...Love me?" Ranma was blown away from the answer he never expected."Haha...ha...ha...." He started out as a little delightful laugh, but then turned into tears. She said she loves me...she said it....she did!
"Ranma? Are you ok?" Akane looked up at the guy who started to have tears drip down his cheek.
"I..-sniff- thought you'd say that to me, Akane." Ranma said in a quiet little voice.
"...Ranma, I do..Love you. I loved you since-" Akane was cut off by Ranma's big embrace. Ranma cried on her shoulders. "I'm so happy Akane. You don't know how much. I'm so happy!" Ranma lifted her up and held her tighter. "I Love you Akane. I love you."
An ear-to-ear smile formed on the new couple as they stared into their eyes in admiration and love. But little did they know. A lavender haired Amazon was standing right behind the wall, holding her right hand up about to crash the wall down, until she heard the conversation between the new lovers.
-Cat Cafe-
"GREATGRANDMOTHER!!!!!" Shampoo cried in busting the door down.
"Shampoo! What has troubled such beauty as you?! Was it Ranma?!" Mousse asked to the statue near the door.
Bang! "-Sigh- This is why you are not meant for my greatgrandaughter." Cologne mentioned turning her attention to tear-filled Shampoo. "What's wrong Shampoo?"
"WAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Greatgrandmother! Pervert girl steal Ranma from me!" Shampoo cried, "She drug Ranma and now she suducing my poor Ranma!" Cologne knew Akane wasnt smart enough to get a drug that will have the affect on Ranma. It was just what she was afraid of. Ranma falling in love with Akane.
"Shampoo, we need to take drastic measures now."
"Drastic?" Shampoo asked wiping tears away with her arm.
"Yes, we need to win Ranma back. We need to make a stronger potion than Akane's and win him back! A potion that will make Ranma yours FOREVER." Cologne said even thought she knew that Akane didn't drug him. She didn't want her greatgrandaughter husbandless.
"Forever? Greatgrandmother have potion that make Ranma only love Shampoo?!" Shampoo cried in excitement.
"Of course child. I've saved this for the right time. And I believe this is the right time to use...the Ardor Potion." Cologne said with an evil grin; ignoring the groan and mumbling of the recovering Mousse.
