*THE BOILING POINT*
Akane looked in shock when she saw Ranma and Ukyo walking down the wedding chapel. She always thought, despite the arguments and fights,
Ranma and her were meant to be together. But two months earlier Ranma and her had a fight that would turn out to be the last one they would ever have again.
/Flashback/
The day started out simply enough. Ranma and Akane were getting out of school. As usual Ranma was walking on the fence, showing his great balancing skills. When out of nowhere, Shampoo came crashing down on Ranma with her bike.
"Aiya! Shampoo so sorry Ranma! Let Shampoo help up".
Ranma, with tire marks on his back, took Shampoo's hand. As soon as he did this, Akane who was watching, gets mad. She doesn't say anything however, because she wanted to see how far this went.
"Damn Shampoo! Can't you watch where you're going? You almost killed me!"
"Forgive Shampoo, please Ranma? Shampoo just wanted to give Airen special dinner Shampoo make for you."
Akane, having heard enough decides to step in. "Ranma you can't take that! Kasumi is making our dinner, like she always does every day after school."
"Shut up Violent Girl! That Ranma decision to make!"
"Um gee thanks Shampoo, but Akane's right. "Kasumi, I'm sure is making a big dinner for pop and me. So I can't eat your dinner, it would be too much".
Akane smirked at Shampoo.
"Please take? If not for dinner, then tomorrows lunch. Shampoo work hard to make taste good for airen."
"Oh alright. I'll take it Shampoo. Thanks".
"Shampoo thank Ranma!" Shampoo groped Ranma, which pisses Akane off.
She walked up to Ranma tapped him on the back. Ranma too busy trying to get Shampoo off of him, doesn't feel it at first. So she tapped again. Ranma finally turned around only to see Akane's angry face.
"Wait Akane it's not what-" before he could finish she uppercuts Ranma to the sun.
"Pervert!" Akane then looked at Shampoo "You can take your special dinner and shove it!"
Shampoo just looked at Akane like she's a fool. "No matter. Give it to Airen at school tomorrow". She then smirked at Akane "One of these days Airen's going to get sick and tired of violent girl hit him every time get mad."
"Shut up! Mind your own business. You and the other girls make him act like the pervert he is."
"The proud Amazon, shook her head. "You fool Akane. Shampoo can't wait for Airen to leave you, so Shampoo can have him all for self."
"Ranma can leave whenever he wants." She rolled her eyes. "He's is not my fiancé. Him and his father are just a bunch of freeloaders living off of my father's kindness".
Akane knew deep down she didn't believe this, but she wasn't about to lose an argument with Shampoo.
"Violent girl know not what she say. Ranma greatest man alive".
"Whatever" Akane having heard enough turned and began walking home. If only Akane knew how right Shampoo was, because today would be the day Ranma's tolerance for Akane would unfortunately run out.
After landing in a pond, Ranma was now soaking wet, and in girl form. She had a look of pure rage on her face.
"What did she do that for? She saw Shampoo was the one groping me. I'm tired of this. Every time I talk or even look at another girl, Akane calls me a pervert and hits me. Since the first day I showed up at the Tendo Dojo she's been nothing but trouble. I never asked for this fiancé mess in the first place. Why do I have put up with this crap? VIOLENT TOMBOY FREAK!" Ranma finished screaming with all of her might. But then Ranma remembered the reason she fell for her, even when she tried her best not to. Her smile; the sweet innocent looking smile she gave every once in a while. But Akane didn't smile very often, and it was getting to the point where she no longer cared.
As she was walking down the street in the market area, Ranma spotted Ukyo getting ingredients for the different types of okonomiyaki she made in her shop. Ranma always liked Ukyo even when she found out he was really a she.
Ukyo, at the same time, also noticed Ranma. She loved Ranma with all her heart, but Ranma only saw her as a best friend. Seeing he was in his cursed form and looking sad, she decided to go talk to him. She quickly paid off the store clerk, then she ran outside, calling his name.
"Ranma!"
"Oh... Hi Ukyo." She pouted.
"Hi sugar. What's wrong, you seem down? Let me guess, Akane again right?"
Ranma shook her head sadly. "Yeah. Shampoo offered me a dinner then groped me. So, Akane got mad and hit me".
"I'll never understand those two, Shampoo acting like a slut, and Akane acting like a beast".
"Come on Ukyo. You used to do that stuff too". Ranma said, now eyeing her plainly.
Ukyo laughed. "Yeah! But I gave all of that up, after I saw the first wedding attempt the Tendo family and Genma tried to pull off - by making you and Akane marry. Even though you both were forced, you two had a look in your eyes that said you both really wanted it to happen".
"Not really… Anyway that was then, this is now. Now I don't think I can take much more of Akane's temper tantrums".
"What are you saying Ranma?" Ukyo looked surprise.
"I don't know what I'm saying anymore. Maybe, I'm just mad." She finished looking depressed.
"Come back to my restaurant so we can talk more about it". She put her hand right on Ranma's shoulder in a caring manner.
"I don't know Ukyo. I should be heading back." She smiled. "Kasumi will have dinner ready pretty soon. Ranma then thought about it. "On second thought, I really don't want to be around Akane right now".
Ukyo nodded, hopefully. "My place is always open to you Ranma. I'll be more than happy to make you dinner". She then smiled, kindly.
"Thanks Ukyo". Ranma said smiling back as they both turned and walked in the direction of her shop.
/(FLASHBACK) TENDO DOJO/
Akane entered the Tendo Dojo.
Kasumi greeted her. "Hi Akane, how was school?" Kasumi smiled with a tray of fish in her hands.
"Oh same old same old." Akane took off her shoes and headed for the living room.
"Where's Ranma?"
"Don't know and don't care" Akane said, sounding cold. "That pervert can rot in hell if you ask me."
"Why? What did he do this time?" Kasumi looked at Akane with a curious look on her face.
"He was flirting with Shampoo right in front of my eyes" Akane was now shaking with anger.
"Really how?"
"That Amazon bimbo offered Ranma a free meal and he jumped all over her for it"
"Is that what really happened Akane? That doesn't sound like the Ranma I know." Kasumi was now looking at her sister with doubt.
"Well, Shampoo jumped all over him, but he liked it I can tell."
"Akane." Kasumi, with a concerned look on her face, lead Akane to the kitchen table. Akane pulled out a chair and sat down. Kasumi put the tray of fish down on the counter then went over to the table. She pulled out a chair on the opposite side of the table then sat down as well. "Look Akane. At first I believed you when you said Ranma acted like a pervert,
but that's because you are my little sister and I gave you the benefit of the doubt. However, the more I saw over the past three years, the more I realized most of the problems weren't Ranma's fault. Still, you would attack him and show no mercy. That's how I know he loves you Akane. Because if it was anyone else, he wouldn't have taken it as long as he had with you".
"Don't be silly Kasumi. The only person Ranma loves is himself" Akane's voice hinted no sympathy.
"How can you say that after all he's done for you? All the times he's saved your life; rescued you when you were kidnapped." Kasumi was now looking Akane in the eyes to see if she was serious.
"Because if he didn't, his father and my father would've never forgiven him, remember the whole joining the schools crap." Akane shrugged her shoulders like it's a known fact.
"Akane… Why do you keep fight the feelings we all can see with our own eyes?" Kasumi still couldn't believe Akane. After all these years, her little sister still refused to admit her love for Ranma.
"Because there are no feelings! Ranma's a dumb jock! And I can't love a dumb jock!" Akane shouted with conviction.
Kasumi, seeing her sister's stubbornness, decided to let it go. "I just hope you mean what you say Akane. Because if you're lying to yourself you'll regret it, trust me. Now I have to go prepare our meal." Kasumi got up and went back to the counter where the tray of fish was. She took a huge knife and began to scale the fish.
Akane left the kitchen and went upstairs to her room. She stopped and looked at Nabiki in her room. As usual Nabiki was reading a Manga and eating ice cream. Akane always wondered how she could eat all the time and not gain weight. Her sister didn't even practice martial arts like she did. When she reached her room she closed the door, locking it.
She laid on the her bed. After a while of just staring at the ceiling, she reached under her bed, and pulled out a shoebox. In the box there were a lot of pictures of Ranma. Akane took them out and started to look at each one. She stared at one of Ranma, without his shirt, doing katas near a waterfall. A smile formed on her face, but it's not a sweet innocent smile she sometimes gave. No, this was a smile of lust. In short, Akane was now being the very thing she always accused Ranma of being all the time, a pervert.
"Oh Ranma I love you so much, you're so fine. Why every time I go near you, I get scared? I'm so tempted to take you, but those bitches come around and ruin everything. You're my man. When will those cunts realize they don't stand a chance and leave you alone?" She shook her head in sadness. She then pulled out another picture of her and Ranma smiling in front of the camera after the wedding was ransacked by almost all of Ranma's and Akane's rivals. Ranma and her were still smiling as to say this mishap wouldn't stop our destiny. She put the pictures back in the shoe box and put the box back under her bed.
Hours passed and the Tendo's had already eaten their dinner, But there was one problem, Ranma wasn't there.
"Where the hell is he?" Akane almost screamed. "I bet he's with that tramp Shampoo."
"Calm down Akane" Nabiki looked at her high-strung sister irritated.
"He's probably training somewhere and is just running late."
"You don't believe that do you?"
"No. He's probably still mad at you, tee hee." Nabiki smirked.
Just then, they heard Ranma come in.
"Where were you boy?" Genma asked staring hard at his son.
"Out pop. Don't worry about it." Ranma directly headed for his room.
"I'm glad you made it home safe Ranma. Come into the kitchen. I saved your food for you." Kasumi looked up at Ranma with her charming bright smile.
"Thanks Kasumi, but I'm already full."
"FULL! Where were you?" Akane asked in a sudden outburst.
"None of your business Akane." Ranma was now getting angry.
"What! You come home at 11:30 at night, and you're just going to act like it's no big deal?"
"Yup!" Ranma looked at Akane with pride.
Akane got up off the floor, getting in Ranma's face. "Answer my question. Where were you?"
Ranma gave her a devilish smirk. He looked Akane right in the eyes and tells her. "At Ukyo's."
"What! That tramp. Why you perv-."
Before Akane could finish Ranma's temper blows up and he starts screaming. "DONT YOU DARE CALL HER A TRAMP! SHE'S THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED IN MY LIFE! WHICH IS MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR YOU!"
Akane not backing down responded. "WELL IF YOU FEEL THAT WAY THEN LEAVE AND GO LIVE WITH HER!"
"FINE I WILL!"
Soun and Genma quickly got up.
"Now wait just a minute boy!"
"Ranma, what are you doing to my daughter?"
"SHUT UP! THE BOTH OF YOU! BECAUSE OF YOU TWO, I'M STUCK WITH THIS BITCH!
Everybody looked at Ranma in shock. He never used such language.
Akane was shocked the most. This can't be her Ranma she thought, but because she was still mad, she hid her shook and responded. She took a step closer and before Ranma could defend, she slapped him hard across the face where the lip was. "HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A BITCH YOU MACHO ASSHOLE?
I DON'T CARE HOW GOOD YOU THINK YOU ARE! CALL ME THAT AGAIN AND I WILL KILL YOU!"
Ranma put his hand on his lip and realized was bleeding. Just then both Soun and Genma were able to get between Akane and Ranma before things got out of hand.
"OK YOU TWO STOP IT RIGHT NOW!" Soun screams in his demon face.
"Don't worry old man. I'm not going to hurt your daughter. After all,
she's right. I'm leaving. I'm going to Ukyo's and live with her. She and I have already talked about it. I'm going to help her out at the Okonomiyaki shop."
Soun's demon face grew uglier. "NO! YOU CAN'T LEAVE! I WON'T ALLOW IT!"
"I don't care dad let him go." Akane injected. "I never loved him in the first place." Unfortunately, Akane didn't realize saying those words would be the final nail in the coffin.
"I'm glad to hear your true feelings Akane, because I have chosen Ukyo as my fiance. Yeah! That's right. She and I had a long talk, and while we were talking, I realized what a beautiful person she is inside and out."
Akane couldn't hide the hurt look on her face after she heard what Ranma just said. It was like she had been punch right in the heart.
"So goodbye and go riddance. I'm outta here." As Ranma turned around and left the Tendo house, Soun started to give chase, but Kasumi stopped him.
"Don't worry father. He didn't mean it. Let him go, he needs to cool off. Once he does, he'll remember his love for Akane and comeback."
Kasumi gave a reassuring smile at Soun, but it soon dropped when she heard Akane's outburst.
"I DON'T WANT HIM TO COME BACK! I HATE HIM!" Akane ran upstairs to her room.
Both Genma and Nabiki looked at each other still shocked by what just happen.
"That was a lot of drama." Nabiki finally said.
Genma just shakes his head and goes to his room.
Akane was crying about what just happen. "How can he betray me like this, deciding to shack up with that bitch Ukyo. Akane smiled. "I'm not worried. He'll be back begging for my forgiveness, but I'm not going to give it to him. In fact two can play at this game. I noticed how Ryoga looked at me. I just pretend I didn't, so I wouldn't give him any ideas. Now I'm going to start flirting with him to make Ranma jealous. Ranma will go crazy and when I think he's suffered enough, then I'll take him back…
Maybe. He did call me a bitch after all. But I know he loves only me so it's just a matter a time. YOU'RE MINE RANMA!"
While these thoughts went through Akane's mind, she didn't realize it was already too late.
