When Akane woke up she couldn't find Ranma. 'Oh no he ran away again.' She thought. She got outside and started yelling his name "RANMA? RANMA!" Damn he left. "STUPID RANMA!"

"Akane what's the matter?" Ranma walked in front of her holding a few wood logs over his sholders for the fire.

"Huh?" Akane looked up and ran to Ranma "I can't believe you." She hit his chest with her fist a couple times. "Where were you?"

"Hey I just was getting fire wood. Haha you thought I was gone and you got scared didn't you?"

"Uhh… hmph yeah right liked I'd ever get sad your gone?" Akane asked.

"You have been sleeping for a long time, it's almost sunset."

"Your kidding I never knew." They stood in silence and looked down at Nerima from where they were standing on the mountain which was about 10 miles above. Then Akane broke the silence and asked Ranma "When do you think we can go back?"

"I don't know, we might not be able to come back."

"We can't stay here forever."

"I wouldn't mind if we did. There is no one that can bother us. No fiancés, suitors, and fathers. It's nice to have some peace." Ranma said. There was a silence and then Ranma broke it "I Know we can go back in a week. Promise me we will go back in a week no matter what? Akane promise me."

"Why is it so important to go back so soon? First you don't want to go back and now you do?"

"I just remembered something and if I don't take care of the problem sooner it will cause trouble around everyone that we know."

"Well then why don't we go tomorrow if you believe we can get rid of this problem."

"No I want to stay here just for a while before we go back. Its not that easy and I can't let you help me take care of the problem its my duty I got into this mess and… I'm going to get out of it. So promise me we leave in a week?"

"I'm really confused do you want to go back?"

"Akane just promise me we will go back."

"Ok fine, but please tell me what's wrong."

"Its none of your business."

"What of course it is. You act as if someone is going to die." She looked at him and he turned his back at her. "Ranma there's something you're not telling me."

"Your right, and I'll tell you when we go back."

"NO you have to tell me now Ranma or I'm going to just stand here and not move."

"I knew you would say that and that's why I asked you to promise, you can't break it now." He turned around and faced her looking into her eyes.

"Please Ranma I hate it when you keep things from me." She started to cry.

"Okay, you win... As you know Hadie cast that controlling spell on me right? And as long as we stay up here he can't do anything and that will keep us away from harm. Well I… see its like… when… well I'm… uhh I can't say it." He turned back around. She faced his back walking to face him.

"Ranma?"

"I'm going to die." He blurted out looking away from everything. Akane opened her jaw in shock and didn't know what to say once she grasped what he said she asked him.

"How can you say that? You're kidding right? I mean just because of a controlling spell? You can't die that's not possible."

"I told you he's a powerful man and worst of all he's a dead sprit, dead spirits don't think about anything except revenge. It's almost impossible to kill a dead spirit the only way they can disappear is if their revenge is fulfilled, and that usually is killing the one who brought them to hell, for Hadie that would be me."

"Ok but we can stop him right you said it's ALMOST impossible but it's not impossible, Ranma you're a great martial artist. If we can get everyone's help I'm sure we can beat this guy."

"You don't understand Akane, even if we did defeat him I would die to because of this spell once he is gone the ones he has been controlling will die too, so I am dead either way. This is why I didn't want to tell you until we got back."

"No, no" She started backing away and then turned around and ran in the woods Ranma ran after her. HE couldn't believe how fast a runner she became and then realized that the spell is what has been making him weaker and slower.

"AKANE! Come back, running away isn't going to solve anything… Please stop." He heard a yell and ran toward the fallen Akane.

"What happen? How did you get that cut on your arm?"

"I wasn't watching where I was going and a branch cut me then I fell on that rock." She pointed at a sharp rock near her feet. She got up and when she walked she whimpered. "Oww, I think I sprained it." Ranma picked her up and Akane started to struggle. "What are you doing?"

"You're such a klutz. You obviously can't walk so I'm carrying you back to the tent."

"Hmph I could of walked myself."

"Baka, you said you have a sprained ankle."

"I know."

"Just let me carry you it would be much easier if you weren't struggling."

"Fine."

"I hope we have some bandages for that cut, you might need stitches."

"No its find I can just wash it with water I doesn't hurt." She said and twitched.

"You not really good at being convincing."

They reached up to the tent and looked at the setting sun once it was gone they went inside the tent and Ranma put Akane down on her sleeping bag and took care of the wound on her arm. She winced a little but not that much.

"Sad thing that a tree branch did this. That tells you how strong I am." Akane said, Ranma just smiled and thought 'Your stronger then me now.' He wrapped some bandages around her wound. "Ranma, you're not going to die." Ranma began to speak but Akane placed her fingers over his lips to stop him. "Don't protest, I promise you I'll find a way to stop you from being killed. OK?"

"Akane, you can't make a promise like that when you know its probably going to be broken."

"That's what you think but I believe I can keep it." Akane smiled and closed her eyes.

He clipped the bandage and placed his hand over it. "There all set… Good night, Akane." He turned around to go into his own sleeping bag and stopped when Akane spoke.

"I love you." Akane whispered, and Ranma froze. Ranma looked at her and a tear went down his cheek. 'Why did she have to tell me now?' He thought

"Akane you're shivering."

"……"

"Here have my blanket." He placed his blanket over her.

"No." Akane yelled and pushed it off herself.

"You're so stubborn, just take it."

"You don't feel the same do you? I mean of course you don't because you have Ukyo, Shampoo, and Kodachi. Who could love a tomboy like me right?" Akane smiled slightly trying to cover up her tears.

"Akane it's not that."

"THEN what is IT Ranma? You know I'm sorry I even said that I don't know what came over me I'm so stupid. I feel like an idiot" Akane was crying and Ranma opened his mouth to say something but Akane continued. "No don't say it, I know what you're going to say and I don't need to hear it now ok? Just leave me alone." She ran out of the tent and flopped down near the cliff looking at the lilted town. She folded her legs to her chest and rested her head on her knees rocking.

Ranma came out of the tent and looked at her "Akane."

"I told you to leave me ALONE" Akane stood up and started walking away but Ranma caught her arm. He pulled her to him and embraced her not letting her escape out of his arms. She griped onto his shirt and cried, feeling his pain she realized why he didn't tell her how he felt.

"I won't lie to you, I-I love you too, but…"

"But what?"

"I can't."

"Oh I understand, but really Ranma next time don't lie to me and tell me the truth first before I get my hopes up."

"What?"

"Seriously You could have just told me you don't even like me in the first place, you don't have to say that you won't lie even though you do just to make me feel better."

"Akane I didn't lie to you I do lo-"

"Yeah yeah sure, and I'm a cat. You know you could of-" Akane was cut off by Ranma's lips on hers and felt his warmth and care for her. 'He really did mean what he said, does he not want to love me because of what will happen to him?' she thought.

"I'm sorry. Promise me you'll stay strong and be there for those who need you, no matter what happens, Please?" Ranma asked and Akane nodded sadly. Ranma unconsciously placed his hand on her cheek and let it slip from her face down to her arm, finally resting on her waist. Akane stiffened at the action for a moment; she was new to these feelings, never knew she could feel this wonderful and amazing. She was drowning, drowning in his gaze and his touch and that unmistakably and subtly spoke of love.

"Come on lets go to sleep." He put his arm around her shoulders and led them inside the tent. Ranma knew Akane was cold, and as he thought of what to do he began to feel cold too. They decided to use body heat as their substitute along with their blankets. He placed his arm over her and spoke.

"I'm so sorry I gave you so much pain before. I wish I could be with you for the rest of your life, I will be there by your side."

He moved his body to look at her face and saw Akane's tears beginning to show up.

Ranma's eyes fell to Akane's lips and she softly gasped as she saw the raw expression that passed through his eyes. It was desire she had never seen in him before. "I'll be by your side… always."

His face was just centimeters apart from her, his nose softly touching her cheek as his breath came in puffs and started to mingle with her own breath. He looked into her sparkling eyes, she looked back at his and they were in a trance. His eyes traveled down from her eyes to her nose to her lips. He closed his eyes and she knew what he was going to do next she also closed her eyes and felt his lips touch hers ever so lightly. When she felt his lips touched hers for the first time she felt like passing out. No other explanations in the world could have prepared her for this. She started sinking back down, but then was caught by his hand that held her waist move to her back to support her, closing the space between their bodies. She moaned when he did this and while he held her head with his other hand she wrapped her arms around him. When they stopped to catch breath they opened their eyes and looked at their eyes. They sighed each others names. He dipped his head down and kissed her again. She laid back down on the sleeping bag bringing him with her. He placed his arms next to her shoulders and deepened the kiss. He felt her warm tongue slip inside his mouth for the first time. Still kissing him, Akane roughly started taking off Ranma's shirt. Ranma tried to talk while Akane was still kissing him and slipping her hands under his shirt and felt his build chest. He breathed deeply as she gave him a fuzzy feeling.

"Akane, we have to stop if we continue I won't be able to stop." Ranma said out of the corners of his mouth

"I want to show you how much I love you, Ranma" said Akane throwing Ranma's undershirt over his head.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"I've never been so sure in my life before. And this might be the only time we can do this."

"I love you so much, Akane." he muttered as she went in for another kiss.

They made love that night.

Ranma was in ecstasy as he felt every silky touch and quaking inch of Akane's body. The feel of her cool skin, warming up fast as he kissed down her body. The friction of there bodies were against each other. The way she rubbed his shoulders and lightly scratched his back, as she let him inside her again and again. Their love and built up passions were released inside her tensed up body. The sight, sounds, and feeling. It was truly something so beautiful, that he vowed as they collapsed into each other's arms, to cherish this moment as long as he lived.

Hours went by, as Akane lay fast asleep, glowing in her fiancé's arms. Ranma stroked her face, and kissed her forehead.

"I will never forget this night. You are truly so beautiful. Ashiteru" he whispered and soon fell asleep as well.
