DISCLAIM: Ranma is not mine

CHAPTER 9: THE ANNOUNCEMENT

Knock, knock, knock

"Ranma, I saw Shampoo went out of the house." Kasumi said. "And she was crying, why is that?"

"No, it's nothing. I'll tell what happened at dinner." Ranma replied.

"Okay, I'll call you when dinner is ready." Then Kasumi closed the door.

"U- umm Ranma, I think I should do my homework now." Said Akane.

"Then, why won't we do our homework together, right here, right now." Ranma replied.

"Umm, okay." 'This is kinda unusual.' Akane thought.

After one hour

"I'm finish with all of my homeworks." Akane said.

"I'm not." Ranma replied.

"Here, let me help you."

After 30 minutes.

"Thanks for helping me Akane." Ranma said.

"Its nothing." Akane replied.

"Uh, Akane, about earlier."

"Yes?"

"I really do, love you."

"Well uh-"
"Don't resist, cuz I know you love me too."
Then Ranma took Akane's hand.

Knock, knock, knock

"Dinner's ready." Said Kasumi.

"We'll be right there sis." Replied Akane.

When Ranma and Akane got to the table, they were holding hands.

"Uh, Akane, are you holding hands with... RANMA?" asked Nabiki.

"Um uh..." Replied Akane while blushing.

"That's what I want to talk about tonight." Said Ranma. "As you can see, Shampoo ran away because, because... I kissed Akane."

Then everyone gasped.

"Ranma, why did you tell them that?" Akane whispered.

"And I love Akane." Ranma continued.

"HURRAY! HURRAY!" Cheered Suon and Genma.

"Good for you Ranma and Akane." Kasumi said.

"Do you love Ranma, Akane?" Nabiki asked.

"Well... uhum uhh yes." Akane replied while blushing again.

"Then I announce you Akane and Ranma, husband and wife." Nabiki said.

"SIS!"

"I was just kidding."

--THE NEXT DAY-- (After eating breakfast)

"We'll go to school now, sis!" Akane said.

"Okay, take care!" Kasumi replied.

"Ranma, we should stop holding hands now..."

"Why?" Ranma replied while holding hands with Akane while going to school.

"Well, it's kind of embarrasing."

"No it isn't. We should tell the whole school about it."

"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING RANMA? YOU are going to kill ME of EMBARRASMENT!"

"Akane, don't you like our relationship?"

"I do, but it's too soon."

"I'll fight for you no matter what."

"Okay, but when we get to school, let go of my hand okay?"

"Okay, but..."
"But what?"

"We're already in the school."

"Oh no!" Then Akane quickly let go of Ranma's hand.

"What is this? Ranma and Akane, holding hands? That's not true! Right my dear Akane?" Kuno said.

"Oh no sempai, you got it all-"

"What if we are? What are you gonna do about it?" Ranma interrupted.

"I'll fight for Akane!" Kuno replied.

"Umm, sempai, I think we should go to our respective classrooms, and settle this after class." Akane said.

"I can't believe this... But you are right. I'll deal with you later, SAOTOME RANMA!"

Before bell, Ranma and Akane went to their classrooms without holding hands.

"You know, I could've just kicked Kuno's butt NOW and then go home quickly after class." Said Ranma.

"You know I hate being late for class." Akane replied.

"But its still early."

"Let's talk later, our classmates will gossip about us."

"Then let them gossip about us."

"Oh no! It's..."
