Disclamier: I Do not own Ranma and the other stuff… this is just a story from a freaking perverted mind… jep

Chapter 5: Lay a flower for me….

Ranma just stared at her with his deep ocean coloured eyes, which was held in a mask of confusion that showed sign of suffering. His mind worked as hard as mineworkers in the local goldmine and still did'nt find an answer that could satisfy both. Finally, his voice seemed to regain itself, and prepared itself from an enormous wrath.

"No"

Her eyes didn't know what to say, it wasn't the answer she expected. Didn't he understand her father's current situation, he was sick; she had to assure him that she was okay and healthy from head to toe. It wasn't meant to happen but it did, her eyes watered up. The perfect brown eyes full of tears; she didn't dare herself to spill.

"..Oh…" her voice couldn't say how much sadness, anger, or betrayal it held.

His chest were in incredible pain, every time he breathed in, it felt like a thousand knives pierced through his body. Didn't she understand; what danger she would bring his Country in danger. That was so selfish; she would rather risk a whole countries safety than her own family.

"… Try to understand; if you send that letter to your family, then you will bring the whole Kingdom in danger…" he grabbed her shoulders, carefully shaking it to get some sense into her head. "… Im sorry, but I would rather risk your family's health, than my own whole Country's"

Small dribbles of saltwater trailed down her cheek. He was right; when had she become so weak, her heart had never been like this before. Before she could manage to react, a warm hand brushed the little tear away.

"… don't cry, I…I am sure we can find a solution" his voice broke several times, since he wasn't used to these kind of things.

Akane broke down in sobs, and threw herself into his hard chest. He was there, and he was warm; that was enough for now. His hard breathing was soothing sounds in her ears, but what surprised her the most, was a hand on her back, rubbing it.

Her chocolate brown eyes stared up at him in surprise, and met his calm soft face. It seemed that he finally let his guard down, and lose his royal mask. Her mouth curved up in a light smile, before saying.

"I never really caught your name?" her red puffy eyes were lit up in a strange fire, and her smile was a magnificent sight.

He smiled, he really smiled, he was pretty cute when he did that. However, you couldn't help but notice the pink cloud which was rooming his face.

"ehm… Saotome, Ranma Saotome"

Akane began to laugh, and he became even more embarrassed.

"well, Tendo, Akane Tendo. Then we are equal."

The rest of the evening was filled with laughter and jokes, and for the first time in a long period, Ranma had fun with opposite sex, even though he received a couple of punches. They even agreed to that she could write a letter to them, but she should never ever tell where she was, because it could start a war between the two countries.

The letter:

Soun Tendo

Akane Tendo

I am perfectly fine, not even a single scratch. I'll not tell you my where I am, since the country's safety is at stake, if my fiancé decides to "rescue" me. I miss home, that I do. But I'll return safely when 12 to 13 months has past.

I have already been making a couple of friends here, and the lord of the country has promised to let me be teached in Martial arts. It is like a dream come true, and you know that father. He says it is necessary because him and I are going to travel across the country, meeting relatives. You can write a letter to me every time the royal postman come, he won't leave before a letter is received.

Don't even try to capture him, he is stronger than all the guards together.

And Kasumi-san, I hope the baby is healthy, and that your husband has escaped his shyness towards you.

Nabiki-san, I hope you don't try anything on the postman, and please be a little nicer to Gosunguki.

From your Akane tendo.

Ps. Please lay a flower on mothers tomb for me.

Sometimes later:

Akane couldn't believe it, she had been in the palace for about two weeks, and she still got lost in the many hallways. Ranma she hadn't seen, he had been busy for about a week, something with a king in the north. It was a boring without him to fight with, so she spent a great amount of time, throwing rocks into the koi pond.

The small circles that circled around the place the rock landed, and unfortunately killed a fish. She once again sighed, poor fish, it was probably just as bored as she was. The blue sky didn't help her mood either, so happy and none caring towards everything.

A voice brought her out of her thoughts. "Well, long time, no see ,Tendo Akane" her head snapped up, and met a pair of green eyes. Her face turned into a smile, "Mousse, where have you been". He sat down beside her and began telling her about his adventures, though she was more obsessed with his eyes. "I should take you around the country some day".

"oh!" that was a surprise.

"well, uhm, Mousse… Ranma's already promised the same thing". She didn't like it, defiantly didn't like it. She always felt bad hurting someones feelings.

Mousse slowly waved his hand, while smiling. "naaah… don't worry, I aint mad. It actuelly surprises me that him of all people would say THAT". Then he began laughing, and made her a little bit uncomfortable.

Akane smiled a bit, before returning to throwing rocks into the pond. She ones again sighed, how many times had she done that lately – her actions stopped imideatly when a hand took hers, and a pair of shinny green eyes where locked at hers.

"Akane?"

She could feel his hot breath on her lips, and slowly closed her eyes. Mousse saw the invitation and kissed her, though it wasn't a passionate kiss, more like gentle and short; a little peck.

She opened her eyes ones more to look at him, and he sat there smiling.

"you are a beautiful woman Akane" and he kissed her again, this time it was more demanding, hard, needing. She didn't stop him, she just leaned into the kiss, her first real kiss.

Oh god… this aint normal, Im 15 years old, and have a sick pervert mind already. Well…then it is good that my birthday is in the next month.. heh…

Well… I couldn't write anymore… lack of inspiration…

Though I am proud of myself that I have gotten an A in English at the exam. Well well, back to my freaking notes, WHO THE HELL NEEDS CHEMISTRY, AND PHYSIC…. Serious… Im just asking….
