Chapter 04: Chosen One, And A Few Years Later
What Happened Last Time:
"Akane? Who are you going to chose?" Ranma asked, impatient.
Ryoga looked at Akane with pleading eyes and Akane saw this and also the pleading look in Ranma's eyes.
"I chose, I…I…I…pick…
Now The Conclusion:
(A/N This is where the story is picking up at. Please read on, Thank You!)
"I would have to pick…" Akane looked back and forth between the two guys she loved, "I can't pick…" She declared.
"What!" Ranma exploded, "You have to pick!"
"Okay then!" Akane exclaimed, "I pick Ryoga!"
(A/N Remember in the 1st chapter, she's married to Ryoga)
Ranma stood there, in shock, while Ryoga jumped around, picking up Akane and spinning around with her in his arms.
"Akane…" Ranma asked, watching the pair, "I loved you, but you love someone else"
Akane heard this, but she was too busy getting spun around to watch Ranma leave out the door slowly.
A few years later, 5 –7
Ranma
Ranma is sitting at his desk, looking out the window at the city below him. He owned a big corporate business, R.S. Corporations, and had many employees, which of many, he didn't even know that worked for him.
Akane
Akane looked out the window, as her two children got on the school bus and waved back to her. Akane waved and blew kisses to them, as the door of the bus shut, and the bus traveled along the road to take the children to the little school across town.
"Hunny…" Akane said, after walking up the stairs and opening a door to hers and his bedroom.
No answer.
Akane walked over to the bed and pulled the covers down slowly. She saw Ryoga, sleeping quietly. Akane just looked at him for a few minutes, thinking.
'This is the man that I have married…' Akane thought, 'I could have had him…' Akane said thinking about another martial artist, "Ranma…" Akane said, looking down at the ground closing her eyes and sighing.
"Akane?" Ryoga awoke to the name of one of his enemies form way back when.
"Ryoga?" Akane asked, quickly opening her eyes and looking up, "Hey sleepy head" She smiled, "About time you woke up…"
"What do you mean?" Ryoga asked, "What time is it?"
"I already got the kids out to school and it's 8:30a.m." Akane answered him, feeling very happy.
"8:30!" Ryoga exclaimed quickly jumping up and running around the room, looking for his work clothes, "I got to be at work by 9a.m.!" he exclaimed.
"Ohh…" Akane sighed, "I'll go make you breakfast," she said, heading for the door, but was beat there by a very rushed Ryoga, "Whoa, where's the fire?" Akane asked down the stairs.
"I don't know?" Ryoga yelled up, downing a cup of Orange Juice, "Across town maybe?"
Akane laughed. Ryoga always said that when Akane asked him. She walked down the stairs and met him at the door.
"I'll be home around 5p.m. or 6p.m. honey," Ryoga said, quickly kissing Akane and reaching for the doorknob.
"Hey!" Akane said, grabbing the back of his shirt, "What's the rush?" She asked, smiling, "It's only 8:53a.m."
"I know…" Ryoga said, looking at his watch, "Hey…" Ryoga looked at a grinning Akane.
"It's only 8:15a.m.!" Ryoga yelled, but smiled seeing a laughing Akane.
"I know darling…" Akane said, grabbing his shirt, "Let me make you a quick breakfast, and you can drop me off at the market"
"Okay…" Ryoga said, following Akane to the kitchen, "Wait…" Ryoga said, whipping Akane around to where she was facing him, "What about that kiss?" Ryoga asked, smiling.
"Wha?…" Akane asked, before Ryoga kissed her with passion.
When they separated, they looked at each other for a minute, looking into each other's eyes.
"HaHaHa" Akane laughed.
"What's so funny!" Ryoga exclaimed.
"You're hair…" Akane laughed.
"What about it?" Ryoga said, frantically.
"You forgot your bandana" Akane said, "and your hair has a mark from where it was!" She laughed.
Ryoga looked in the mirror by the door and nearly shrieked. He quickly ran upstairs and put on a bandana then ran back downstairs, to a waiting Akane with breakfast in her hands.
"Thank honey" Ryoga said, and kissed her on the forehead.
"You're welcome" Akane said, smiling.
Ryoga left the house and walked to his car, as Akane walked outside behind him. Usually she would drive her dark-green jeep, but she always liked riding with her husband, and walking back home.
Ryoga dropped Akane at the market and went on to work at R.S. Corporations. He worked as typing up results of the stock market and interviewing people to join the Corporation.
Ranma
Ranma looked at the clock, and decided to go outside and walk around the grounds some.
Ranma walked outside, "Man, it sure is a beautiful day out here" He sighed and looked up at a tall tree growing in the grass beside the front gates.
"It's been a while, but let's try…" Ranma said, jumping up to grab the first tree limb, "This seems easy…" He said, sitting on the limb, and climbing up a few more.
When Ranma reached the top of the tree, he looked through the branches and leaves to see that he was high up.
"Whoa…" Ranma said, looking down through the tree limbs and branches, "I didn't know I still had it in me! I didn't realize I was this high up…" He said quietly to himself.
Ryoga
Ryoga parked his car and started walking into the front gates and up the steps.
Ranma
Ranma looked down and saw a guy in a business suit, with black hair, and a clearly visible yellow and black bandana.
"He looks familiar…" Ranma said, starting to climb down the tree.
Ryoga
"Finally, at the door" Ryoga said as he reached for the handle, but dropped his clipboard and pens, "Oh crap" Ryoga said, annoyed.
Ranma
Ranma hurried down the tree and jumped the last tree limb and landed two feet and one hand on the ground, "Okay, maybe not all of it" He chuckled.
Ranma looked around, but couldn't see anyone that looked remotely like the guy in the suit with the bandana. Ranma looked to the door and saw…
Dum! Dum! Dum! I figured that another 1000 or so words was a good update, but hey, don't bite my head off, I updated didn't I? I'm trying to finish up some of these stories, so I can get everything back on track again, but yeah, please bar with me! I also have other Ranma 1/2 stories, Peach Girl, and Inu-Yasha. Along with some crossovers, so please check them out. I'll update this soon as I can.
