"Ranma, Akane! We're home!"
Ranma jump off Akane just in time as Kasumi entered the room, switching the light on and discovering a very interested Ranma examining his closet.
"Hi, Kasimi, I was just…, I"
"Ranma had a fever and I just came here to check him" spoke Akane, who was trying to hide her neck.
"Oh, my, are you both ok? You look really flushed?" At this they even blushed more.
"Well, I have to take a bath, I didn't want to leave Ranma alone so I couldn't take it before; would you take care of him, Kasumi?"
"Yeah, of course. But, are you sure you feel well? You look really flushed"
"Oh, no, I'm ok, I just need to take a bath and I'll be fine, thanks anyway"
Ranma watched her every move since she finally disappeared through the door. He couldn't bring himself to believe what had just happened between them. He felt dizzy and his beating doubled just at the thought of her.
Kasumi observed as a speechless Ranma made his way inside the bed as she approached it to tuck him in.
"I'm going to make dinner; are you sure you feel fine?" Ranma only nodded, still unable speak or articulate any other sound without stuttering or making his voice tremble. "I'll prepare some hot soup and tell Akane to bring it to you later; is that ok with you?" Again Ranma only nodded and Kasumi left the room. "Now rest" were the last words she addressed him from the hallway.
Akane on the other side was in the bathroom examining her new "hickey", and passing her fingers over it, trying to remember the feelings he had made her feel, when a sudden heat made her cheeks redder than they were before. It had been so shocking at first, but, he'd been so gentle, just kissing fatherly her neck, and then he started nibbling and making her tremble from the inside out, and she had squeezed his had, still intertwined with hers. But, Kasumi, she sighted, everything had been to much perfect for her, anyway, she still had his mark on her neck and her heart pounded faster at the thought of him.
Akane left the bathroom and walked to her room to get changed into her new pyjama, a fairly blue shirt with a pair of really short white and fairly blue striped shorts. Nabiki burst into her room and asked her about her new pyjama, as it was winter and that was not the right outfit to be wearing, but she didn't feel cold… Nabiki examined her sister up and down, but found nothing bizarre as Akane was wearing a white thin scarf around her neck.
"Dinner is ready!" screamed Kasumi from downstairs
"Can u tell One-chan I'm not hungry and that I'll be staying in my room?" asked Akane
"I know there's something weird but, I don't now what yet….mmmm, yeah, but I think she wanted you to bring Ranma his food"
"Ok, then tell her I'll be down in a minute"
Nabiki ran downstairs followed just seconds later by Akane who ran into the kitchen and took Kasumi's food for Ranma.
Ranma kept on staring at the ceiling; his head was all messy with images from Akane. He hasn't had any asleep yet and he wouldn't have any if he continued thinking of her. Just then, a knock on the door snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Can I come in? I'm bringing you some food Kasumi made
"yeah" was all Ranma could say
Akane entered the room, placing the tray on the free spot of his bed as now he was sitting on the verge of it. Her gaze never left the floor.
"I'll come back later to take the dishes"
"I…I'm sorry for,….you know…I shouldn't…I" Now it was Ranma's turn to stare at the floor while Akane made her way to sit by his side on the bed.
"Don't be, I liked it" she whispered and as she was going to get up, she felt his hand just like before.
"Can you eat with me? It's just I don't want to eat alone, and besides I overhear Nabiki saying you had nothing yet"
"Ok, I'll stay but you must promise you'll take your medicine after we're done eating"
"It's fine with me" he said this with a sly grin forming on his lips.
She was going to stood up when… "hey, where are you going? Didn't you just say you'd stay here? He said a bit disappointed
Akane giggled at this and said, "I was going to get some food for myself downstairs"
"I'm not so hungry, we can share it" he said while pointing to the tray
"mmm, yeah, I guess….AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" She said as showing a soup spoon near Ranma's lips.
"What do you think you are doing?¿?" asked a dumbfounded Ranma, now blushing crimson red.
"It was your idea in the first place so be good and say aaaaaahhhhhhhh" Ordered a giggle Akane.
Ranma did as he was told and opened his mouth a couple times as Akane feed him up like she'd do a baby. He then grabbed the spoon and did the same with his stunned fiancée. But, some of the liquid was missed and he took a napkin and slowly passed it around her mouth. Akane didn't know how much that act had affected her since she started shivering making Ranma realized of her outfit.
"Are you cold?" He asked her, but she had no time to answer as he pulled her closer for a bear hug making her gasp in astonishment. It was so sweet, his scent, her face buried in his chest hearing his heart hammering like the thunder. He stared at her neck and his finger tips traced the path of her silk white scarf over it, reaching for the clasp to free her neck. He wanted to see it, wanted to be sure of his mark, wanted to… And at this he started kissing her again, gently on her neck, but careful enough for not to make any other marks. Her breath became desynchronized one again, and her heart started beating quicker and louder than before. His lips felt hot upon her skin and his hands rubbed her back up and down sending little shivers upon her skin.
He was out of himself, you could have asked him the most stupid question in the world and still he wouldn't have been able to answer it. He didn't even now how that had started; he just knew he needed it badly, as badly as he did the air. All of a sudden she moved and he could see her eyes shimmering in the dark room, and he felt the urge to hold her even tighter. He stared at her eyes deeply, and then his own trace the factions of her face stopping at her nearly parted lips. Then it all seemed to happen really slowly as their faces became closer and closer, and they could feel each others breath as it became one. He caressed her lips softly moving closer to her and draping his arms around her tiny waist. She snaked hers around his neck bringing his head closer as he deepened the kiss licking her lips with his tongue, begging for entrance. Neither of them had had a real kiss before, but it all seemed natural for them as she opened her mouth allowing his tongue in and making the kiss as passionate as they could manage. He slowly broke the kiss, but couldn't help stealing some butterfly kisses before letting go finally. They were both out of breath but none of them wanted to stop, as they became closer again and she let him kissed the breath from her lungs. He slowly, tenderly lowered her to the bed managing not to crush her; he was not ready for that and neither was she.
They continued kissing like there was no tomorrow until Ranma heard Nabiki, surely approaching with her camera. Unwillingly, he let go of her embrace and walked to the door, discovering his fiancé's sister opening it prepared to take a good picture. But, unfortunately for her, she only found an angry Ranma glancing at her.
"Hey, I see you're doing fine"
"Yeah, but I need my rest so would you please, ….CUT IT OUT!"
"Oh, poor boy" said Kasumi from behind. "Come on Nabiki, don't be naughty; he has to sleep"
"But Kasumi, I heard Akane, she's in!"
"You must be wrong, she's actually sleeping, I think she wasn't feeling that well after all"
"Good nigh, Ranma" and at this, Kasumi closed his door dragging Nabiki into her own room.
Akane had been lying on his bed, trying not to move or make any sounds for her sisters not to know she was still in Ranma's room. When they'd burst in, she has been so scared of being caught that had shot her eyes. Ranma was relieved that the two girls had left but, he also knew Akane had to leave for her room too. He came near her and she opened her eyes staring at his blue ones. Then silently, she got up and reached for the door, always followed by Ranma.
"Good night" she whispered in his ear, and he lean forward and stole a cast kiss. "Good night" was his response and she quickly emerged to her room.
Neither of them got too much sleep that night, not even P-chan that was wondering in Akane's room until she went in, wearing a silly grin plastered on her pretty face. He spent the whole night thinking of who could've possibly cause that bliss to her, and how he wish it had been him.
The say started as usually, everybody was having breakfast on the table though, this time, Ranma and Akane weren't in a rush, as both of them had been up earlier than usually. They hadn't spoken with each other apart from the "Good morning" thing. Akane didn't know what to say or do, she felt so confused… Ranma, on the other hand was nervous, thinking how to act around her, what to say; he was even starting to imagine the whole "what would she do if I say this or that or…" They were concentrating hard on not to blush or do something "stupid" in front of their family.
"How are you feeling today, my boy?"
"Oh, I'm fine "pop""
"You sure, Ranma?; You have nearly eaten? And you too, Akane" insisted Kasumi
"Not hungry" they said at the same time
"hihihihih, well, I guess we'll have to leave it at that; ne, Soun?"
"Oh, hurry up or we'll be late Akane"
"Ok, just hold on a second, I have to get some things from my room"
She ran upstairs and went into her room looking for her mallet. So, worried was she, that she missed her own door close. Ranma just stare at her, he didn't know what had possessed him again to be following her. All of a sudden, she realised she was no longer alone, and that was when Ranma spoke.
"Well, about yesterday…I just…"
"You just?" she replied with a cute smile
Then he leaned in a gave her a very soft and romantic kiss
"I guess, I just wanted to say "Good morning" properly"
"Good morning" she repeated and also came closer to get another of those sweet kisses.
"We're going to be late" he told her, as he caught her hand to drag her out of the house.
As soon as they entered the Furinkan school, thousands of boys started to attack Akane, who was used to have that kind of battles everyday. But, Ranma was not in the mod at all, everything has gone way to fine between them and he'd fight anyone who got in the way.
"You didn't have to punch them so hard"
"Oh, it's just they were really starting to annoy me. Anyway, hurry up, we still have to change for physical education"
Akane walked in the changing room and started getting herself ready for her class to start as some of her friends approach her. Yuka had always been the most observer of all of them so, she was the first to notice the strange spot in Akane's neck, that look like that…
"Oh my Akane, How did you get that hickey!" screamed the girl.
Her other friends that were around, focused also in her neck, angling it so they could analyse better her friend's hickey.
"Tell…Was it Ranma?"
Akane couldn't speak; she didn't want all her class mates knowing about her and Ranma's business. RRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGG" Saved by the bell, she thought relieved while she walked to the gymnasium where the guys had already started their activities.
"Isn't she hot, Daisuke?" asked Hiroshi while pointing at Akane
"mmm, man, she's so hot I'd just…"
"You would just… what?" asked a jealous Ranma clenching his fists
"Man, you're so lucky. Look at her, she looks so good with that shorts and that shirt clinging perfectly to her body, and that…What? HICKEY!"
At this Ranma started sweating and blushing like crazy
"hey, Hiroshi, isn't that a Hickey in Akane's neck?"
"Oh yeah, it looks like so!"
"RANMA!" Both guys yelled at the same time
"I just…I…." Ranma stuttered while he back away as the boys approached him. "Hey, wait a minute! She's my fiancée. Why wouldn't I be able to…?"
"So, IT WAS YOU!"
Akane was once again surrounded, but now by the boys, who wanted to do justice with the evil devil who had done that to the innocent girl. Suddenly, all the eyes focused on Ranma when Hisoshi and Daisuke screamed "So, it was you". Hundreds of infuriatin auras chased poor Ranma around the school, trying to kill him in order to preserve Akane's dignity.
Break had begun and Akane was walking out of class when somebody grabbed her arm and dragged her into a empty class.
"Ranma! Are you ok?" asked a worried Akane
He had a few cuts but not bad harm was done.
"Couldn't you just put some make up on it?
"mmm, sorry about that, but I…"
"Well it's ok; I kinda like it, now they can see you're only mine. But, you'll have to make this up for me" he said with a bright grin
"Like this?" She smiled and pulled him to the wall, teasing him by nibbling and licking at his neck, making him gasp.
"What are you doing" he inquired in a sexy voice
"I want to "make you mine" too" She smiled again and lowered her head to the croc of his neck where she kissed and sucked the flesh, leaving her mark on it.
Ranma felt weak, but he wanted to do something now that they were finally alone, so he took her by her shoulders and turned her around, pinning her back to the wall and, just like in his dreams he hold her by her wrists. Then, he crushed his lips with hers hungrily, sliding his tongue into her mouth. Wanting to play a little, he bit her lower lip tenderly kissing her soundly the next second, while moving his hands from her wrists to her hair, where he buried his fingers. His eyes were closed, he wanted to concentrate on one sensation but, they all seemed to rush at once. Her lips, her tongue, her teeth, the feel of her skin, her touch… "Akane, Akane" he said in a hoarse voice between kisses, as he made her moan in pleasure just by hearing his name spoken through those lips, in between gasps, hearing his desperate breathing and wild heart beating.
