After school, Ranma raced to Akane's room because she ran straight home. Knock knock knock.
"Akane come on! Let me in! I need to talk to you!" Ranma yelled.
"No! I love you!"
Ranma rolled his eyes. Then he grabbed the knob turned it, and opened the door.
"Next time you don't want any one coming in, lock the door. Now give me your arm!" Ranma commanded.
Akane sighed and gave Ranma the arm with the mark on it. Ranma grabbed the arm and started rubbing the mark with his index finger.
"Ranma! What are you doing?" Akane cried. She tried to pull her arm back, but Ranma is stronger so he held on tighter.
"Just hold still, will you?" Ranma said. He continued to rub off the mark, and saw it was fading. Fading, fading…gone!
"There you uncut, ungrateful girl," Ranma retorted and he released her arm.
"What did you do?" Akane asked.
"Akane!"
"What?" When Akane realized she didn't say 'I love you', she gasped.
"You're welcome," Ranma scoffed. Akane grinned and hugged Ranma's neck. Ranma blushed but didn't fight it.
"Thanks so much," Akane said as she released him.
"Yeah…so…why were you crying?" Ranma asked. At this question Akane blushed.
"Nothing…" She mumbled.
"Oh come on."
"Fine. I'll tell you if you promise that you won't laugh and you'll still talk to me," Akane demanded.
"Sure…okay."
Akane sighed. "Because I kept saying 'I love you', but it was hurting my feelings at how embarrassing it was and also because that wasn't how I wanted to say it."
"Say what, Akane?"
"I love you…"
"I thought I scrubbed off that mark!"
"No, no, I really do love you," Akane blushed again.
"R-really?" Ranma asked. Akane nodded shyly. "That's convenient because, I love you too."
Right when they were going to pull into a kiss though, the door busted open and in came Mr. Tendo, Genma, Nabiki, Kasumi, and Happosai with confetti and champagne bottles.
"I told you they'd confess it sooner or later, Saotome!" Mr. Tendo cried.
"GET OUT!" Ranma and Akane cried at the same time. They slammed the door closed, and then quickly pulled into the long-awaited kiss before the idiots came in again.
