Disclaimer: You know the drill. I don't own Ranma ½.
Naturally, everyone else in the household heard the commotion. Soun saw the empty room and burst into tears, Kasumi went to comforting her father, and Nabiki went back to bed mumbling about the fact that she needed more sleep. Ranma jumped through the window a minute after that and immediately Soun went from tears to rage.
"RANMA SAOTOME!! YOU GO FIND HER RIGHT NOW!!!"
Ranma glared at him. "Where the hell do you think I've been? I can't find her alright??" Ranma's father chose that moment to come in. "He'll never be able to find her tonight. Everyone should go back to sleep and the boy will find her in the morning." Soun seemed to agree with this, and although Ranma wasn't happy, he knew it would be easier in the morning.
Later that night
Ranma couldn't sleep. He knew he wouldn't be able to. Finally giving up, he went back down to Akane's room too check out that bag. He sat down on her bed and started pouring out the bags contents. He didn't really understand why she kept most of the things in the bag, but there were a few interesting things. A picture caught his eye. Akane and a boy he didn't recognize, with their arms around each others shoulders, both appearing to be extremely happy. Akane looked to be about fourteen in the picture, and the boy the same age. Ranma decided he didn't like this boy. He didn't like this boy at all
Akane
Akane squirmed in her captor's arms until he finally let her go. He took her blindfold off and locked the door. The light was off, so Akane's sight was limited, but it seemed to her they were in a basement of some sort. Angrily, she turned to her captor. "I don't know who the hell you think you are, but I'm gonna kick your ass if you don't let me go." "Yes, I don't doubt the fact that you could easily have, as you say, 'kicked my ass' had I not taken you by surprise." Alright, given the many times Akane had been kidnapped, she had heard a lot of crazy things. Not much surprised her anymore, but this news made her do a rather large face fault. "Graceful as ever, 'Kane." The boy turned a lamp on and took his mask off. A familiar face, a familiar voice, how could she have been so stupid? "Kyle!!" Her anger melted into happiness at seeing the face of her old friend. She hugged him tightly before stepping away and malleting him to the ground. "Shoulda seen that one coming," Kyle groaned. "And I thought you were happy to see me." "I am happy to see you! But what was the big idea of you kidnapping me? My family's probably worried sick." "They'll survive. And I wanted to talk to you before everyone knew I was back in town. Think you can handle that?" Akane peered at her friend. "What, don'tcha trust me?" The goofy grin she had come to know was plastered on his face. "Alright, talk. But you better hurry, if Ranma finds me here HE'S the one you're gonna have to worry about kicking your ass."
Author Note: Yay! Another chapter done! Sorry the first two are so short, and thus I am slowly trying to make them longer. I'll update again soon!
