Well, if ff.net will stop being an ass, I can get this up easy!!! ^___^
As I hope you noticed, I revised the previous two chapters. Part of the reason I haven't done anything in months is because those chapters threw me off and made me have serious writer's block. So sorry
Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma 1/2. There, are you happy? (hey, have you heard that song? By Michelle Branch? I love that song!)
Chapter 5: Hey Ma! Look! No Ranko!
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
AKANE'S POV:
I get Ranma's bed all set up, and tell him it's ready. He's already stuffing his face with sukiyaki, but I guess, if he's hungry, that's ok.
He points to the table, and offers me some. I smile, take a bowl, and chopsticks, and sit down across from him. Mostly, we eat without talking, and the only noise is Ranma gobbling up his food.
"Didn't you eat when you were in China?"I ask.
"Sure, but nothing this good. Mostly, it was just microwave meals and restaraunt stuff. Who made this anyway?"
I smile serenely. "I did."
Ranma coughed and spit part of his sukiyaki out onto his lap. I hand him a napkin. "Y-y-you did? You made this?"
I laugh and say,"Oh not really! You think I can cook this well? Your mom made it. I just helped by buying the stuff. Ranma, I can't believe you fell for that!"
He throws me a slightly dirty look, then laughs too. "So, how are my parents and your dad, anyway?"
"Well, pretty good, I guess. I think your mom and even your dad miss you a lot."
I don't tell him how much I've missed him.
"Your dad doesn't miss me?"He sounds kind of hurt. That's surprising.
"I dunno. Probably. Although, I'm sure that he doesn't miss the arguments or fighting or property damage or hurt feelings or stupid fiances or-!"
I realize what I've said and clamp my mouth shut. All I can hope for is that he didn't notice. Just because I do love him, it doesn't mean I want him to know. Not yet anyway. That's just like how it was when we were kids.
************************************
RANMA'S POV:
We're sitting there, eating sukiyaki, talking, and then she calls my other fiances stupid. I don't know what that says to me, but it says something.
"Or what?"I ask, pretending not to have noticed.
She closes her eyes and sighs. "Or--I don't know."
I smile and continue eating. However, Akane finishes before me. As she gets up, she tells me,"You're all dirty; you need a bath. I'll go get it ready."
I want to tell her that so is she, but then I realize she must have gotten cleaned up at Tofu's, because her clothes are different and her skin sparkles clean.
I agree, and then I remember that I have to buy stuff. As I head to the door, "Where are you going, Ranma?" is asked.
I call back,"Oh, just to buy clothes. I didn't bring any with me; I'm having all my stuff shipped here next week. I was just going to buy a few outfits while I was here."
Akane walks up and looks outside. "It's kind of late. I think we still have some of your stuff that you left here. It should still fit you."
She drags me off to a closet in Nabiki's old room. "Let's see...They should be in here...somewhere...Is this them?...nah..."
I watch as piles of clothes and towles pile up on the floor, until she reaches my old clothes and pajamas.
They look just like I remember them, and I take them, saying,"Thanks, Akane!"
I head into the bath, and shut the door behind me. I take off my clohes, which are Chinese style, but a bit different from my old ones. I still have my pigtail, although, I don't know why. That Dragon's whisker crap ran out, so I can have my hair short if I want to. I guess it just looks best how it is.
I slip into the bath and relax. I half fall asleep, and about an hour later, I hear Mr. Tendo's voice. I want to see my mom and even my pop, so I get out, dried off, and into my pajamas. They fit a little more tightly, but not really that much.
I head out, and I pass my room on the way to them, so I throw my stuff in.
As I get nearer and nearer, I hear Akane say,"Oh, Dad, Mrs. Saotome, Mr. Saotome, did I tell you we have a visitor?"
I can see her now, and she winks at me.
"We do? That's wonderful! Who is it, Akane-chan?"My mom chirps.
"Well, you can turn around to see him."
All three look at each other. I can bet they're thinking, 'Him?'
They turn around, and Mom jumps happily. She dashes up to hug me. "Ranma!! What a man you are now!"
"Hey Mom. Yep! I'm 'all grown up' now!"
"Boy, you get cured at Jusenkyo?"my dad demands.
"See for yourself!"I quip.
Mr. Tendo grabs a bucket of cold water and splashes it on me. I'm still a guy, and while my parents and Mr. Tendo stand stock still in shock, Akane mutters to me,"Maybe you should have just said 'yes.'"
I nod, and shiver.
Now my mother starts fussing over me. "You must be cold now, Ranma! And I bet you're tired from your journey and the time change and everything. So, let's get you to bed and we can visit more tomorrow."
She shoves me to my room, and I wave goodnight to everyone. I hear Akane sigh. I sorta wish I had been clean and I could have talked to her a little more. Although, then, I probably would have got "Ranma No Baka"-ed to death.
I am pretty tired, so I fall asleep really fast.
**********************************
AKANE'S POV:
Ranma gets shoved off to bed, and I kind of miss him going away. I wish we could have talked, just me and him, for a while longer. Of course, then probably I would have "Ranma No Baka"-ed him to death.
I stay up just a little while longer, before heading to bed myself.
/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Well, I know it was short, but I hope you enjoyed it very much. I didn't want to do too much, just have Ranma meet his parents again, and Mr. Tendo. So, that's my reasoning!!! :) ;}
Ja ne, minna san!!!
