Leaving Love Behind: Chapter Three

-Morning-

Akane was just awakening from her deep slumber when she heard a big crash just outside her window.

"Oi, what's all this commotion" She peered out her window to find half of the front brick walls demolished into pieces...with Ranma laying down looking unconsious. "Pfft, its only Ranma knocked out...KNOCKED OUT" Akane had this strange feeling inside her that she never felt so strong before when Ranma was knocked out by his dad before; which was PLENTY of times. Akane zoomed out of her room, down the stairs and kneeled down besides Ranma outside.

"Omigawsh! You baka! Look what you did now" Akane said gently...yea rite! Ranma was on the grass groaning and moaning.

"Akane? What are you doing down he" Ranma jumped 10 feet away from the puzzled yet annoyed Akane as he heard a cry of happiness.

"OH HAPPY DAY" Soun cried"Akane is now feminine and in love with Ranma; to even come down and rescue him out of his pain! I thought I would...-sniff-..never..-sob-..see this day. -Major sob"

"Hey! It wasnt like that! It was all Akane...i mean, we're just friends" Ranma himself got confused.

"Hmph." was all Akane had to say to leave Ranma feeling mighty guilty. Just before she went back inside to destroy something, she turned and said...yelled "I WOULD NEVER LOVE A BAKA LIKE YOU" and slammed the sliding door closed.

"Oh boy..." was all Ranma could think of.

-Evening-

The day went on with Akane ignoring Ranma in school and after as Ranma pleaded for mercy of this isolation.

"Akane...Open up Akane" Ranma has been knocking on Akane's door for quite some time now; but Akane didnt even say a word. "Akane! Open up! C'mon, let me explain..Akane"

Inside, Akane was no where to be found for she left from all this sadness. The only place where she could go to was the playground. As she replayed the moment Ranma addmited his feelings for her to the moment he pushed her away this morning. -sigh-...That baka. Just when I addmit my affections, he has to go and mess it up! He thinks he's so high and mighty! Well, news flash Ranma Satome, YOUR NOT! So Akane continued to talk to herself as Ranma...was still knocking on her door.

"Akane! If you dont open up I'm gunna kick open the door" Ranma shouted.

"Ranma? What are you doing" Kasumi asked in her usual innocent voice.

"Hu? Oh...umm...nothin'. Jus' gotta talk to Akane..."Ranma stated with his head down, embarrased.

"Akane? But she left one hour ago! I saw her jump over the wall while I was watering the flowers." That got Ranma to look up in frustration.

"WWWHHHAAATT" Ranma roared as kicked the door down. Inside the little room was nothing unusual, except the window opened with wind blowing the little curtains. Ranma fiercily gripped his hands as he flew down the stairs with furry.

"Oh my.." Kasumi was left speechless looking at the new repair that was needed.

Back at the playground, Akane was in a state of distress as she wanted to go back home and take a fridge raid; but didnt wanted to see Ranma. Just as she was finishing that last statement, a loud bang could be heard as Ranma jumped onto the junglegym which Akane was sitting on.

"Owwww..." Was all Akane could say as the object she was sitting on started vibrating. "Whoa, what was that for"

"What was that for" Akane could tell Ranma was mad. "That was for making me bang on your door beggin for forgivness when it was EMPTY! And I had to knock and knock until Kasumi comes and says 'Akane left ONE HOUR ago!'. THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS FOR" Akane wasnt paying any attention to the when it was EMPTY! And I had to knock and knock until Kasumi comes and says 'Akane left ONE HOUR ago!'. THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS FOR" part cuz she was bewildered at the thought of Ranma begging for forgivness.

Ranma was becoming annoyed with the blank face on Akane's face as he tried once more to get her attention. "Well! Arn't you feeling sorry at all you macho chi" Ranma was cut off as Akane embraced him in such a gigantic hug. "Whaa" Ranma started to blush furiously.

"Aww...Ranma you were begging for forgivness" Akane asked when they parted.

"Wha" Ranma whispered as he was still in his bewildered state.

"So you were begging for forgivness" Akane asked as her smile turned upsidedown.

"Huh! No"

"So you werent..."

"No! I was! I mean I was waiting in front of your door waiting for you to say something and stuff but..."

"So you did" Akane was merry again.

"Heh...yeah.." Ranma mumbled scratching the back of his head; as his face burnt up. He crept closer and closer to Akane without thinking, he wrapped his muscular arms around her curved body into a most loving hug.

"Mmm...I love you.." Akane let it slip through her mouth as she was inhaling the scent of Ranma..even though it was mixed in with sweat. Ranma almost toppled over loosing his balance a bit on the junglegym as he heard her words. Should I respond? Does she want me to say I love you back? I mean, that's no trouble but, what if i make a fool of myself...

"I love you too.." Akane was surprised that he would respond with all his pride. She looked up at Ranma's silver-blue eyes as she felt herself soar into his eyes.

Ranma gazed into the beautiful eyes of the gorgeous blue-haired chick in his arms. Slowly he lowered his head towards her pink disirable lips as she raised her head, slowly closing her eyes. Their lips locked in together as they felt a great sensation of joy rise.

Ranma unconsciously moved his right hand up her smooth hair; pushing her head closer as their kiss deepened. He slowly pressed his tongue against her soft lips pleading for enterence.She opened them wide enough for his tongue to enter. He felt Akane poke his back softly, so he couldnt help but let out a little snicker.

"Hmm" Akane asked in a little soft voice as she parted from his lips. "Why are you laughing" Akane asked with a smile as she observed the cloudy-azure eyes that was begging for more.

"You're poking is tickling me. That's why." Ranma said in a husky voice that sent warm feelings up Akane's spine.

"Poking? I'm not poking you." She said as she looked behind Ranma to find..."Ranma...i think you better look..." Ranma turned around as he lost his blanace for good this time as he fell off the junglegym.

A little boy was standing there gazing at them with huge crystalline wondering eyes. He was about 5 years old, had shortly cut chocolate hair, and was wearing a tiny overall. Akane and Ranma of course was embarrased that their 'moment' was witnessed by another.

"Umm...do you need help? Are you lost" asked Akane with an unsure smile. Why is a little boy out here in the dark! But the boy didnt do anything but turned around and stared at Ranma as he decended the junglegym.

"DADDY" the little boy cried as he ran into Ranma's arm.

"Da..Da..dad" Ranma was bewildered.

"Daddy! I found you! I FOUND YOU! Mommy was looking for you! Mom's gunna be so happy" the little boy cheered.

"DAD" Akane roared as she formed a blue aura around her.

"A-Akane, I dont know who this kid is! I didnt even marry! Im still a...I never had..." Ranma was trying to find a solution to this confusing situation.

"Huh, well i guess then this boy magically appeared" snapped Akane.

"He's not mine" Ranma was getting more and more nervous as the child clung to his chest with delight.

Akane's aura cooled off and she hung her head down. "Fine Ranma. Whatever." was all Akane said as she turned and ran towards the dojo like a twister her front hair casting a shadow on her eyes, so Ranma couldn't look at her tears that were threatening to fall once again.

"AKANE! WAIT" Ranm called as he got up to run after her when something tied both his legs together and collapsed. He looked down to find a little boy with tears in his eyes and a angered frown; gripping on to his legs.

"I'm not letting you run away from mommy again! You're not going! YOU"RE GUNNA COME WITH ME" the little boy cried.

"Hey hey, Im not your dad. I dont even know where you came from" said Ranma irritated by this boy interfearing the precious moment he was sharing with Akane.

"BUT YOU'RE MY DAD" the boy started to cry like niagra falls.

"Shhh! You're gunna get me in trouble" he whispered with his hand on the boy's shoulder.

"BUT YOU ARE" he bawled.

"Ok, ok I'll take you to your mom. Ok? So stop crying."

The boy immediately stopped his crying and looked up at Ranma with a big grin on his face. "You'll go to mommy wif me"

"Yea sure. C'mon. Where do you live"

The boy cried out in happiness. "YAY" He shouted with glee as he started to run off onto the street. "Hey Wait" Ranma cried as he ran off with him.

-Ukyo's Place-

Huh? Ukyo's? Is his mom eating okonomiyaki in there? But its so late. Oh well, might as well talk to Ukyo since I'm already here. As Ranma and the boy entered the restraunt they saw no customers.

"Sorry, we're closed. Please come tomorrow." Said a worried Ukyo in the back of the kitchen.

"MOMMY! DADDY CAME" squeeled the boy. Mommy? Ranma thought.

"Soi-kun" Came Ukyo's voice again as her head popped out to see the little boy run into her arms. "Soi-kun! You're safe! Omigawsh, I was so worried! I was looking everywhere for you! Where were you"

"I was looking for daddy and i found him" He told her with a jauntly looking smile.

"Daddy" Ukyo finally noticed Ranma in front of the door with a dumb face on. "Oh! Ranma! Come in! What are you doing there? You'll let the bugs in" Ukyo greeted.

"Uh...um, right." Ranma said as he walked in closing the door.

"So, what brings you here Ranma" Ukyo asked with Soi-kun in her arms.

"Um...whoes the kid? He said I was his dad and stuff..but I dont think we ever...you know..." Ranma said twirling his fingers embarrased.

"Oh! This is Soi-kun. He's a nephew, kinda. He just calls me mom cause his mom died and I found him once at the playground somewhere. He's an orphan and he come to visit sometimes."

"And he calls me dad because"

"Oh! Um..sorry Ranma, I just showed him a picture of you and i said that you were his dad since I'm him mom, and so now he thinks your his dad." Ranma was once again wearing the dumb face, with a little unbelieveable face mixed in.

"But...but IM NOT" Ranma suddenly shouted. "I mean, I'm not even married to you! I dont even plan to" Ukyo got this serious face and headed into a room and came back out minutes later without Soi-kun.

"We're engaged Ranma! Soi-kun wants a dad and I think you should be his dad since we are" Ukyo stated.

"But, but I think of you as a best friend more than a fiance. I told you that before." Ranma fought back.

"Well, it's not like you like any of the other fiances you have" Ranma was quiet after that with a serious face. Ukyo stared back for a sec and noticed. "Ha...so you do like her. Who is it? Is it Shampoo? Akane? or Kodachi" Ukyo's face started to get hotter as she felt liquid coming up to her eyes.

"Ukyo...I dont mean to hurt you, but I..."

"Just tell me Ranma! Who do you love so much that you cant even be a father to a poor child" Now tears were dripping down her face.

"Ukyo, I didnt mean to hurt you." Ranma said softly wiping a tear on his best friend's face.

Ukyo slapped his hand away. "Tell me who it is! WHO IS IT THAT YOU WOULD LEAD SOMEONE ON AND FALL IN LOVE WITH ANOTHER! WHO" Ukyo shouted now sobbing.

"It's...It's Akane.." Ranma finally spoke out. Ranma couldnt take this anymore as he didnt want to see his strong best friend since childhood cry anymore. "Sorry Ukyo. I really am." And with that, Ranma left the restraunt leaving Ukyo sobbing with her head down.

When Ranma left, Ukyo cried and cried ,until she ran out of tears, for hours.

"Ranma..." she whispered. "Why..." I knew he would fall in love with her. I knew and prepared for this moment, but why does this hurt more than anything? Huh, I guess I thought I had a better chance deep inside since I was his best friend...I need to get over him...I need to..get him back. Ukyo then made a decision to get Ranma back to her as her anger grew and grew. I'll make Akane leave his life. That girl who took him away from me. I'll make her pay. And with that Ukyo decided on a plan.

-Dojo-

Ranma entered the dojo when he came home. I'll just practice some moves before I go to sleep. Yea. that'll take some stress off. As soon as he entered, he noticed a presence kicking and punching in the dark.

"Hello? Who's in here" Ranma asked as he came through the door. Right then, he felt more guilt inside as he found Akane in her gi looking directly at him in the blackness that surrounded him with rays of moon light shining through the glass door and windows.

"I was just practicing." Akane said flatly which Ranma can tell she's been crying. "I'm done." She said as she turned to leave.

"Akane, wait" Ranma said running up to her. He turned Akane towards him and held her tight in his arms. "Im sorry Akane. Please forgive me." Akane just scoffed and pushed him just enough to get him off her. She once again turned around and started towards the stairs.

"Akane" Ranma ran after her. Just as Ranma started to run after her Akane started to sprint. "Akane! Wait" Ranma shouted not so loud that the whole family would wake.Just as Akane turned the corner Ranma heard BAM! Akane! Oh shit! Ranma sprinted towards the corner and just as he turned he started to laugh histarically as he saw Akane on the floor after running into one of the hard poles.

Back in the dojo, Ranma was bandaging the bruise Akane had on her forhead she earned after the Big Bam.

"Ha, how can you forget there was a pole there" Ranma laughed.

"It was dark! Just drop it." Akane said. "I'm still mad at you."

"I said I was sorry. I was running after you when you left, but the little guy stopped me"

"Im not mad about that! Well, I am but Im MORE mad at something else! Just dont talk to me." Akane turned her head and waited for Ranma to respond.

"I need to know why you're mad at to ask for forgivness dont you think" Ranma asked switching his position so Akane can look at him. "Please" Ranma asked with his best sweet smile. And of course, Akane gave in.

"I went to Ukyo's after you didnt come after me." Akane said in a quiet voice.

"Hahaha, you came after me cuz i didnt go after you" Ranma laughed. Akane scowled. "Lol, sorry." But he continued to laugh then he realized that she said she went to 'Ukyo's', that would mean. SHE HEARD ALL OF IT? What did I say again? Omigawsh, Omigawsh... Akane could tell Ranma now figured out what was wrong since he had a troubled face on.

"I heard that you have a son with Ukyo. Well, congratulations." Akane said sarcastically as she got up and turned to leave.

"Huh? Wait! He's not my son"

"Dont joke around with me. That boy clearly stated that Ukyo was his mom and you were his dad." snapped Akane.

"But you didnt hear the rest of it did you" Ranma asked in a serious voice.

"Th-The rest of it" Akane asked in sudden shame.

"Yea, the part when Ukyo explained that he's a orphan who calls her mom and Ukyo showed him a picture of me and told him to call me dad which I'll never be! AND i bet you didnt hear the part where I made Ukyo cry by telling her that I can't marry her because I love you" Ranma shouted in frustration.

Akane was dumb-founded. She didnt know that he actually told Ukyo that he loved her and not Ukyo; and even make her cry. "Ra-Ranma..I'm sorry." Akane said in shame. "I didn't even know the whole story and I blamed you. I'm sorry" Akane said with her head down.

"-Sigh- It's ok Akane. You're sorry and now you know the truth, that's all that matters." Ranma said taking Akane back into his arms again. "I love you, Akane."

"I love you." Aken said with a smile.

The lovely couple shared a passionate kiss and went upstairs to get to bed.

"Hey Akane, do you wanna..you know, sleep in one room tonight" Ranma asked slyly.

"What" Akane was of course, surprised.

"I dont mean having...the 'thing'...just sleeping in the same bed together and nothing more. Maybe a kiss, but you know...nuthin"

"I dont think so Ranma. Good-night." Akane jumped into her room and closed the door after giving him a lovely smile which melted Ranma'a heart.

And they slept peacfully. But, they didn't know..that the whole family saw this whole moment in tears as they found out that Akane and Ranma were now a couple.

"Oh happy day" Soun cried. "We need to get a marriage planned out right now Satome"

"Right! We shall now be one family and carry on this dojo in pride" Genma cried.

"Great! This is gunna make me billions" Nabiki grinned evily as she took her video camera and started to go upstairs when two hands grabbed her from behind. It was Kasumi and Nodoka.

"Stay right there Nabiki." Nodoka ordered. And of course Nabiki was frozen right on the spot. "I believe we should keep this in secret. They have finally found their love for each other and they should be the one to tell us if they want to get married or not. And NABIKI should keep this a secret and not sell anymore of those 'products' you sell" Nodoka commanded as Kasumi smiled and nodded in agreement. "Now say you will, or would you like to face it another way" Nodoka asked taking out her sword.

Everyone's sweat dropped as they all cried"OF COURSE"

"Great then, we're all agreed! Let's get some sleep now" Nodoka cheered with a great beam on her face and started to walk up the stairs.

"She's very persuasive" Kasumi said with her usual angelic smile.

"Yes, very." Nabiki was still frozen on the spot, but she had on a very pale face.
