Chapter 7

Later that day at the camp site. Ranma was setting up the tent while Akane was cooking dinner.

"So what's on the agenda tonight? I noticed you only set up one tent." Akane questioned between bites of rice and beef.

"Oh, well I thought... I brought the other tent...I can set it up if you want." Ranma hurried over to find the other tent.

"It's ok Ranma. I was just giving you a bad time. Now finish eating. I brought some playing cards if you like we could play a game later."

"O...ok," he went over and sat by the fire and continued eating.

Later that night giggling could be heard from the tent. Ranma sitting on his bedroll and Akane on hers. "I win again Ranma, Sorry!" Placing her cards on the floor between them. Giggling again quietly.

"Ya, I just let you win." Folding his arms across his chest and closing his eyes, he gave her a smile. "I'm gonna go take a quick dip before turning in. Could you put the kettle on for me." He grabbed a towel and stood up. He leaned over and gave her a quick kiss. "I won't be long, ok" he then left the tent with Akane behind him. He then walked down to the lake.

Akane placed the kettle over the fire and decided to put on her pajamas as well. She entered the tent and went over to her bag. She was about to pull out her yellow pajamas, but changed her mind. She instead went over to Ranma's bag. "I know it has to be here. Aha!" she pulled out his green pajamas with the spirals on them. She put on the shirt and left the tent. She grabbed the kettle off the fire and silently walked down to the lake.

Ranma had just gotten out and wrapped a towel around her waist when she heard a rustle in the bushes. "Ok Akane you can come out now." She slowly exposed herself from behind the bushes. "Hey, I was going to wear that tonight."

She tossed Ranma the kettle. "Well I guess you better come and get is huh." She grinned at him and ran off back towards the tent.

Ranma quickly dowsed himself and took chase after her. He charged into the tent where he saw her laying down on her bed roll pretending to be asleep. He went over and kneeled next to her. "Ok Akane fork it over." Silence. "Akane?" In an instant she jumped up and ran for the tents door. She was quickly captured by her wrist and pulled down towards Ranma, all the while giggling. She was pulled on top of his lap. She only half fought against him as she tried to get up. She was then grasped by both wrist this time and whirled around so her back was on the bedroll and Ranma was looming over her. She looked at him then. There was something in his eyes she had never seen before and it frightened her and yet enticed her. 'What is this new look that he has on his face.' She tried to get up again but realized he had her pinned down. It was then that she realized what it was she saw in his eyes, it was.....Her thoughts were cut short when he leaned down and captured her lips with his. He deepened the kiss which only ignited his passions further.

Still pinning one arm down, he took the other hand and caressed her cheek. He then felt her tongue on his lip slightly and opened up to her even more. He let his hand trail down to her neck then tickling down to her waist.

She moved her loose arm around his shoulders and ran her fingers down his side and up his spine. She loved the feel of his skin and the hardness of his muscles.
