A/N: Hi everybody. I'd like to respond to a couple of reviews. Some of you
have commented on the very short chapters and I apologize. Like I stated in
my first chapter, I'm trying get over my writers block, but I promise to
try and give you guy's longer chapters. Also, one person commented on Ukyo
being OOC, and I'm sorry that I didn't warn you guys of that but I thought
it would be an interesting twist. Just trying to make my fic a little
different. Thanks for reading.

Ukyo watched as the fog in Ranma's eyes seemed to clear. He blinked a few times before glancing first to Akane and then back to Ukyo. Ranma's eyes widened considerably and he released his grip on Ukyo. Once she hit the ground she immediately scrambled backwards and away from him, shaking in fear. Ranma looked stunned at what he had done. "Ukyo, I'm sorry. I didn't know what I was doing." Ranma whispered while reaching a shaky hand towards her.
She shrunk back against the wall shaking her head no at him with wide eyes and tear stained cheeks. Ranma flinched at that. He glanced at her neck and felt the bile rise in his throat when he saw the deep red hand marks that would surely bruise. Glancing at his hands briefly he thought *what have I done?*.
Ranma dropped to his knees feeling absolutely miserable. Akane could have sworn she saw a tear fall silently from his wide eyes. Quietly she crawled to him and wrapped her arms around him. "Ranma, it's okay. If need to cry you can." Akane quietly whispered, while gently rocking him.
That was all he needed to make the dam break. Ranma crushed himself to Akane and cried into her shoulder. Each heart wrenching sob was enough to make Akane break down right along with him. Together they cried, for their failed wedding, for the pain of Ukyo betraying them and for the pain that their insane lives brought them everyday.
To the young couple it seemed like hours before their weeping finally ceased. Once they had composed themselves, they noticed that Ukyo had long since fled from the dojo. They looked into each others eyes, both seeing tired, sad eyes. To themselves they, thought *No More*.
Sleep seemed to be a lost cause for Ranma and Akane. Both were far to upset to sleep. *I can't take this anymore* Akane thought to herself. Quietly she climbed out of bed and crept down the hall to Ranma's room.
For a few moments she just stood there debating on whether to knock or just walk in. just as she was reaching for the door, it swung open revealing a very frustrated looking Ranma in pair of very short black silk boxers.
Akane's jaw dropped and a light blush spread across her cheeks. "Hey 'Kane what are you doin' up so late?" Ranma asked in a mere whisper. Akane snapped out of her stupor and grabbed his hand. "We need to talk Ranma." He remained silent as she dragged him to her room.
Once inside Akane instructed him to take a seat on the bed while she shut and locked her door behind them. After locking her window and drawing the curtains closed she joined him.
"Ranma, did you want this wedding to happen?" although she was blushing furiously, she was determined to look him in the eyes and get the truth out of him. "A-Akane I." Ranma was so nervous. That was the last thing he expected her to ask. "Please Ranma tell me the truth, I need to know." He answered so quietly that she almost didn't hear him. "yes." He was blushing immensely and staring at his hands which were tucked firmly in his lap. " I love you Ranma, do..Do you love me?" Akane's statement shocked him beyond words. *she loves me.SHE LOVES ME!!*
