I don't own Ranma 1/2!!

-.Chapter Four.-

Akane started to think while running her fingers through the hair of the now asleep Ranma... He was comfortably resting his head on Akane's breastbone and feeling her breathe. He kept huggin Akane by her waist, scared of waking up and not finding her there.

Lots of things began to appear within Akane's mind. How strange it all had been... All of a sudden, they were now a couple, kissing, hugging, sleeping on top of each other... she couldn't believe it... was Ranma under some kind of ancient spell?? What if everything changed back to normal once they went back out there?

They've been inside there for less than five hours, and they attitudes took a drastic turn... a turn that they haven't been able to take since they first knew each other... How weird was that....

She closed her eyes, and began to feel tired. She thought she could use some sleep.. and decided to relax and let herself be...

After a while, she felt something posing on her lips... something soft and warm... something she enjoyed... she also felt a pigtail on her cheek.. so it was obvious that the thing she felt was in fact Ranma Saotome.

He gently tried to wake Akane up "Akane... hey, 'Kane..."

"Hmm??"

"Akane, I see some light coming from the little window, I think it's daylight... it must be dawning"

" Already?? For how long have I've been asleep?"

"A couple of hours.. I kept biting your lip but it didn't work, heh.... sorry if you feel a little sore there..."

Biting her lower lip- "hey!! it does hurt!! you could've awoken me by saying my name out loud, you know!"

Ranma scratched the back of his head "heh, yeah, but it wouldn't be half as funny as biting you"

"Whatever... "-she rolled her eyes- "So... I guess the janitor's coming in any second now..."

"The thing is... will he get mad at us? I mean... we're here... without his permission... I'm scared of that guy, he's friends with the principal, and he could have us expelled..."

"Yeah, I know... is that why you didn't knock down the door yesterday?"

"Well...... "-coughing- "that's one of the reasons actually..." and he looked the other way, visibly shy-

Akane's eyes narrowed... and she walked right in front of her fiance, trying to get him to look at her eyes

She carefully asked "Which were the other reasons then? huh?"

He avoided her eyes "I.. well..." -cough- "me... I... hm...er.."

"were you planning on getting locked in here with me all along??"

" if that's how you wanna express it... yeah..." -and he covered his head with both arms, expecting the well-known mallet... but Akane didn't strike him... so he slowly lowered his defense and stared at her...-

Her eyes were bright "You did this because you wanted to be with me? you really did?"

"mm... yeah... Are you mad?"

Akane's eyes filled up with happiness and she hugged Ranma strongly... she was happy indeed... she couldn't believe Ranma wanted to be with her... and she couldn't believe that he did it on his own will... She was on the moon... and didn't want to come down.

Ranma didn't understand a thing... he was confused, he was stunned... but he wasn't going to turn down a hug, so he surrounded Akane with his arms, and there they stood... hugging for the next five minutes.. Until something broke the silence...

Akane realized "The lock!! Someone's opening the door!"

"Must be the janitor... quick! grab onto my back..."

And Ranma jumped to the roof, carrying Akane on his back. They hid behind a beam.

" Cool this place has a high roof..." he thought.

The janitor walked in, grabbed his broom and a pail of water and was about to leave the room, when a shadow ran past him as fast as the wind... He thought it was one of the usual winter wind streams, and locked the door... He was kind of asleep as well... considering it was half past six in the morning.

Ranma and Akane were gingerly walking down the school's aisles... when they heard someone snoring...

They looked inside the ninth grade class room (the class room where trouble students were sent for detention) and found Ryouga sleeping in a futon on the floor... They looked at each other, and then again at their friend, and Akane decided to go and wake him up... Ranma prefered to stay on the doorway, staring at Ryouga suspiciously.

"Ryouga?? Ryouga... wake up..."

He mumbled "No, mom, please, five more minutes... I already have a map of where the school is..."

Ranma couldn't help but throw a loud guffaw... Akane frowned and told him to shut up.

"No.. Ryouga... it's me... Akane"

"HUH WHAT HOW WHERE... WHERE AM I??! Akane??"

"Calm down, you're in Furinkan high school... here in Nerima.. Tokyo... Japan?"
"ah, yes, yeah I remember... what are you doing here so early?"

"It's a long story... come with me... I bet you're starving... and so are we. Let's go to my house and have something for breakfast."

Ryouga nodded, and sensed Ranma's distrusting glare... He walked right pass him, but a strong hand grabbed his upper arm.

"What is it Ranma? What's your problem!"

"I don't know why you're here, but let me tell ya... I'm having a calm, easy-going week... and I don't want you ruining it... so if you're here to challenge me, ya better start thinking of going your way, 'cause you're not gettin' any..."

"No, Ranma, I'm not here for that..."

He still didn't trust Ryouga that much...and carefully asked-"What is it then??"

"Let's talk about this later... look.. Akane's already a block away"

Ranma quickly thought about it "yeah... yeah u're right, let's talk about this after breakfast... I'm starving!!!"

And they both ran to catch up with Akane.
