Ranma's Will

Chapter 06: Explanations…

What Happened Last Time:

Ranma was going to jump out and surprise her from the bathroom, but he heard crying and listened through the door.

"Ranma…" She cried, "Why'd you have to die on me! I've came here EVERYDAY for the past year!" She sobbed, louder, throwing herself on the bed, "I loved you all these years!" She took in a big breath, "Smells like then same old him…" She said, calmer, looking straight ahead out the window, then feeling all the pain rush back to her as tears filled the pillow she had her head on.

"I missed you…" She said, closing her eyes, "I still miss you…"

Ranma opened the bathroom door quietly and peeked out. He couldn't see who it was from the back, so he stepped out quietly and walked up to the bed, barely breathing. He let his hand hover over the back of the long black haired women, with her eyes closed, possibly asleep.

Ranma touched her cheek, and her eyes fluttered open and she instantly sat up, "Ranma?" She asked, looking into his eyes, "Is that really you?"

Ranma looked down into those perfect eyes and he instantly knew who it was, "Yes, it is me…" He said, "And I know who you are…" He said, sitting down next to her as tears started to fill her eyes, "You are…"

Now The Conclusion:

"Yes!" She said, crying tears of happiness, "It's me!" She jumped onto him, and hugged him.

"I can't believe it!" Ranma said, "I thought you were married…"

She looked up to him, "I was…but he died…a little while back…"

"Did you love him?" Ranma asked concerned that she would say "yes".

"I did…" Akane said.

(A/N Yes! To many requests! It is Akane! I was going to make it Shampoo, or Ukyo, maybe even Kodachi, but that's a little too much drama, although it would be interesting.)

"But I thought I loved him…when I didn't" She said, looking down, "I had only loved him as a friend, and I realized that, after he had died, that I really had loved you, all those years ago!" She said, crying harder, only for sadness this time.

"Then why didn't you pick me?" Ranma asked, holding her tightly to himself.

"Because!" Akane said, pulling away a little bit, "Don't you remember?"

Flash Back (From Chapter 04)

"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.

End Flash Back

"What was wrong with that?" Ranma said, causing Akane to look at him weirdly.

"You had made me mad!" Akane said, "When you told me to pick right then! I didn't know who to pick, because I thought I had loved you both, when I really had only loved you!" Akane said, standing up beside the hospital bed, and wiping her tears away.

"I was almost sure that you were going to pick me, because I had loved you too!" Ranma shouted as he stood up.

"You…did?" Akane asked him, looking into his eyes.

"Yes Akane!" Ranma said, walking around to the other side and standing in front of her, "I did love you! So, So much! I whispered it, right before I left. And when I saw you and Ryoga in front of my business, not that long ago, which Ryoga had worked for me, but I didn't know; I saw you two! I heard you say that you had two kids! I was saddened, and when you left, and Ryoga went inside; and I had this heart attack, and was sent to the hospital, but, I recovered and went back to work, but I was just now writing my will, and I had another heart attack, a couple years after my first one" Ranma said, sitting down in the chair, "I went into coma, and just now woke up today"

"Ranma…I…" Akane started, but Ranma finished.

"The doctor told me that a girl came every day, at noon, to see me, and kept journals" Ranma said, standing back up, "I was so happy, when I heard about it, because I didn't think anyone still cared for me…" Ranma said, walking back over to Akane, "And when I just now found out it was you, I was thrilled" He said, grabbing Akane, and putting her in his arms.

"Ranma…I" Akane started, but was cut off by Ranma, again.

"You have become so much more beautiful, and that makes me want to be with you, even more, than before" Ranma said, looking at Akane in the eyes, "I want to be with you…" He said, as he went to kiss her, but Akane looked away.

"Akane?" Ranma questioned, looking at her, although she was looking away. Ranma felt very hurt because of that.

"Ranma…I…" Akane started, "I don't think this will work…" Akane said, looking back to Ranma.

"What?" Ranma looked at her, but she turned away, her back to him, "Because, I have two kids…"

Ranma smiled and turned her around. She was looking down. "Akane…" Ranma said, looking at her looking down, "It's okay…Kids will be kids…"

"But Ranma!" Akane exclaimed, "I don't know if they'll like yo…" She was stopped by Ranma kissing her. She blinked a couple of times, then returned the kiss and closed her eyes.

When they broke away, "Akane, I know that we had some issues before…" He started, causing Akane to look at him coyly, "But I love you now, more than ever" He said, hugging her tighter.

"Ranma…" Akane said, returning the hug, "I love you…"

BAM!

The door slammed open, and two teenage kids walked in, "MOM!" The boy said, "What are you doing!"

"Mom!" The girl exclaimed too, "Why are you doing that! Dad died not too long ago! And here you are, with another guy! What is with you! And this is why we don't even want to live with you anymore!"

Uh-Oh! What are they going to do now? The kids don't like their mother, and obviously don't like Ranma. What are Ranma and Akane to do? Read the next action-packed chapter of…Ranma's Will!
