"Ranma!!..."
Akane whispers in an impatience tone as she helplessly looks at him..
Ranma released a defeated sigh.. He started to feel angry at himself. He became so happy and excited when he felt her nodding her head over his shoulder.. He didn't waste any time after he got permission from her and as fast as he could, he pulled her closer to him to give her a kiss after a long wait. He has been eagerly waiting for this day to come, when he would kiss his tomboy senseless. And now that he got the opportunity to live his dream, he got way too nervous and began to fumble while trying to kiss her. She had been so patient with him. Always giving him an encouraging smile, waiting for him to make a move. But to his dismay, whenever he tried to close the distance between them, he would accidentally hit her nose or her head. He started to feel restless and impatient… He wanted to kiss her so badly, but it was as if his brain and his heart wires had gotten tangled up pretty badly.. He wanted to experience a lot of things with her, but all he could do was stare back at her helplessly. Ranma growls in irritation and says while pouting.
"Don't just look at me like this, tomboy!! Yea can also take the first step, ya know.."
"Me!" Akane gulped and tried to defend herself, "You are the one who wanted to kiss me, why would I have to take the first step!?"
"So ya don't wanna kiss me?"
"No!! What I mean to say is.. Yes…!! Umm I don't mind.."
"Then!? Do it.."
Her face flushed red as she playfully slapped his shoulder and whispers to him,
"Dummy! I can't do that! I am not used to it!"
"Duh! I ain't used ta do it too!!"
"Huh! Don't even joke about it, Saotome!" Akane said with a flushed face and sly tone.
"What do ya mean ta say, tomboy! I haven't kissed anyone !"
"Oh really!! What about Shampoo and Kodachi then?"
"Awww, Ya really had ta talk about those girls, ain't ya? Yea are such a mood spoiler!"
"WHAT!! Oh honestly!! I even forget the count of how many times you have kissed those girls!! And now, you are getting all nervous when it's my turn!!"
Ranma growled at her face and said in an annoyed tone,
"Excuse me, miss jealous! THEY were the ones WHO kissed me, NOT ME!"
Akane also growled in anger and said in a sing song tone,
"Oh my poor baby is so innocent that he couldn't even prevent kisses that he didn't want to get!!"
Ranma and Akane angrily pouted at each other, their faces were inches closer to each other as they stared at each other viciously.. Ranma narrowed his eyes at her and asked her in a low tone,
"Ya wanna fight over it, tomboy?!"
Akane smirked and said,
"There is nothing to fight, Ranma! It's already proven, you are a pervert!"
"What did ya just say!!?? Me! A PERVERT!! Look whos talkin' here! If I am not wrong, ya are the one who kissed me while we were studying for our exam!"
Akane's face flushed with embarrassment when she remembered what exactly happened on that day. She blinked her eyes and said while stuttering nervously,
"But.. but that was an accident dummy! I wanted to kiss your cheek, but you turned at the last second!" She saw him arrogantly smirking at her. She again started to protest, but paused as she suddenly recalled something important .. She smirked at him and said in a harsh whisper tone,
"Mine one was completely an accident, Ranma.. If I am not wrong, who was the one who had sweeped me off from the ground that night, huh!? You were acting like an animal that day! You didn't even let me enjoy my first real kiss! And you are pointing your finger at me now!! You really have nerves, Mr Saotome!"
Ranma's smirk instantly vanished from his face, he looked at her with a hurt expression on his face as he asked her with a soft whisper tone,
"Ya…. Ya didn't like that k— ka — k.. Kiss..?"
Akane's smirk also turned into a stunned realization. In their nonstop childish bickering, she didn't even thought once what silly things they were babbling to each other. And now that it came to this point, she couldn't stop blushing hard as she looked at his hurt expression.. She
began to feel too shy that she had to avert her eyes from him.. She started blushing bright red as she softly whispered while tucking her messy hair behind her ear,
"Umm..it's not like that.."
"But ya said you didn't like it!"
Hearing his depressing tone, she sighed loudly and said in a low tone, her face burning with embarrassment..
"I never said that I didn't like it, dummy!! I said , I wouldn't mind if you were a little gentle, you know! It … it was my first time doing it after all!"
Realizing what his tomboy just confessed to him made him too shocked to say anything. The wind started blowing softly as the force of the breeze moved both their hairs softly. He saw with his astonished eyes how beautifully she was holding the one side of her hair as she looked down with a blush over her face. He kept looking at her beautiful features and completely forgot to react at what she just revealed to him.. He forgot how long he had been looking at her, because after some long pause, he saw her sighing again as she began to move to leave the place.
"I think.. I think we should leave now.. It's getting too late, Ran..Ahh..."
She couldn't finish her sentence as suddenly Ranma harshly pulled her towards him and made her sit over his lap. And before she could ask him what's the matter with him now, he hastily sealed her lip with a soft kiss. It was a sweet gentle kiss. The tenderness of it made her heart thump like crazy and her body instantly melted with the fondness of it.. She closed her eyes and speared her palms on the back of his head. The fulfillment this simple kiss was giving her was so overwhelming.. She doesn't want anything else but to lose herself fully in his warm hug and forget about every nervousness she was feeling before... But to her disappointment, this soft tender moment stayed only for some moment..
Ranma slowly breaks their kiss and looks at her with a doubtful expression on his face. She was still looking down with a deep blush adoring her ravishing face. He slowly laid one finger under her jaw and lifted her head slowly. Akane looked up at him with a wide satisfied smile on her face and noticed how troubled Ranma was looking. She scrunched her brows in confusion and asked him,
"What happened, Ranma?"
"Umm.. Now do ya like it!?" He asked her in a low, doubtful tone.
Akane chuckled and said playfully,
"Uhhh.. Maybe yes or…. Maybe not.."
"Huh!?"
Akane bits her lower lips and circled her arms around his neck and whispers sensuously,
"It was way too short to give you a mark on it now, you know.."
Shocked, Ranma smirked down at her as he shakes his head.. Then he replied to her in a husky low tone,
"Your demands are increasing by minutes, tomboy.. First you wanted me to be gentle with you and now you want it to be longer.."
"Are you complaining, Mr Saotome?"
"I may look baka to ya, tomboy.. But trust me, I ain't stupid at all!!"
Akane giggles as he again closes the distance between them.. He caught her giggles in his lips and began fulfilling her wish.. He made sure to make it as long and tender as he could and was satisfied when he heard a soft moan coming out from her mouth. The way she kept twirling his hair with her soft hands was doing wonders to him. Unconsciously, a soft groan escaped from his lip making them excited at the same time as they both hugged each other more tightly. He always wanted to experience this things with her.. And to be honest, In his wild dreams he had already kissed her countless times. But compared to what he is feeling now, those dreams feel extremely flat to him right now. He don't want to end this tender moment between them anytime soon.. If it's possible, he wants to spend the whole night kissing her and loving her under this open night sky.. He damn care what other might think of it! His mind is completely fogged now. And all he want now is to lose himself fully on the endearing sensation his tomboy was giving him and devour her sweet taste entirely.. And maybe then, he might say the words to her.. About, how much he..
"RANMA…..!!! AKANE…!!! COME DOWN QUICK!!!"
They both simulately opened their eyes in fear and broke their kiss. They still couldn't believe what they have just heard was real or their tired mind was playing games with them.. They just kept looking at each other with surprised eyes as they kept hugging each other tightly..
"I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE UP THERE, SOMEWHERE !! REVEAL YOURSELVES!!"
"Na..Nabiki?" Akane whispers as she looks down from the tree..
"Damn man..!!"
Ranma whispers harshly as he also looks down and catches sight of the intruders, who dared to disturb such a tender moment of his life. He growled in annoyance and cursed his luck.
"ARE YOU GUYS COMING DOWN OR NOT!!"
"Ranma! How did she find us? What should we do now?."
Ranma gripped her waist tightly and said in a harsh whisper tone,
"Let them yell as much as they want.. We won't reveal ourselves.."
"But Ranma.."
"AKANE..!!! AUNT SUKI WOULD SURELY CALL THE COPS IF SHE DOESN'T SEE HER DAUGHTER SAFE AND SOUND SOON!! DON'T TELL ME LATER THAT I HAVEN'T WARNED YOU GUYS!!"
Ranma gulped hearing what Nabiki just said. He felt Akane fidgeting as well as she laid her hand over his beating heart. She gave him a soft look and whispered to him,
"Nabiki wouldn't have come here if it's not an emergency, Ranma.. We know how she is, right?"
Ranma sadly nodded his head. Akane helplessly smiles at him and gives a gentle lingering kiss on his cheek.
"We have lots of time to continue what we have just started.. Don't look so sad!!"
"HEY RANMA!!!... AKANE!!"
Ranma sighs and whispers back to her,
"I just can't wait ta finish with all this and take ya home with me.. I am really getting tired of all this.."
Akane blushed and giggled softly at what he so innocently confessed..
"Oh really, Ranma!! Why so hurry?.."
Ranma blushed as well and said while winking at her,
"Just wait for it, tomboy.."
"AKANE!!!!"
"Let's go, Ranma.."
Ranma grumbled inwardly and nodded his head…
"Nabiki! Stop yelling already!! I don't think they are here!" Akio said frowning as he looked at Nabiki who was looking for them in every corner..
Nabiki sighs and said,
" I don't understand!! My calculation could never go wrong!! They have to be here , somewhere.."
"Maybe you are wrong this time, Nabiki.."
Nabiki angrily growled and turned to face him with a frown on her face.
"Look Akio, if you can't help me then.."
Nabiki stopped, shocked as suddenly Ranma jumped down from a nearby tree while carrying Akane in his arms.
"About time!!" Nabiki said, smirking as she crossed her arms in front of her.
"What's so fuss 'bout anyways! Why are you calling us?"
Ranma asked in a harsh annoyed tone as he slowly put Akane down in a standing position.
"You look way too annoyed to begin with, huh Ranma.."
"Look, you.."
Ranma couldn't finish his angry spat as Akane laid her hand over his chest to make him stop talking.
"Wow, man!!" Akio said breathlessly as he finally came out from his stupor. He ran to Ranma's side and looked up at the height of the tree from where Ranma had jumped a while ago. He gawked in complete disbelief as he asked Ranma,
"First you jumped out of that hotel from her window and now this tall tree!! What are you, a living human monkey!?"
"Oh!! Just keep quiet!!" Ranma said angrily, giving him a narrow stare.
Nabiki chuckled hearing that and said,
"Well, don't blame him , Ranma, it's the first time he saw any human doing this."
"Oh yes, that's true Nabiki!! And if I hadn't got stuck by that hair clip of Akane, you couldn't even guess that they are here!" Akio said in an amazed tone.
"My hair clip!" Akane asked and turned to Nabiki. Nabiki smirked and showed her the clip on her hand..
"I told you it's costly and to take care of it!! How could you act so carelessly!! Or... is it Ranma's doing..."
"Damn it!" Ranma whispers painfully, making Akane blush as she remembered how she had lost her hair clip which Nabiki had gifted her.
"Umm.. I am sorry.. I don't know how it came off from my hair.. I mean.. I didn't.."
"Oh cut it, sis! You can't even lie properly!"
"Hey!! I am not!!"
"Oh really! So Ranma, can you tell me how it came off from her hair!"
"How'd I know that !" Ranma said grumbling as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Why do you look so grumpy, man! What's the matter?" Akio asked in a confused tone..
"Hmmm!! You are right Akio, he sure is acting angry! What's the matter Ranma, did we come in between something where we shouldn't have come!"
"Nabiki!!"
"What! I am just being frank here! Just look at him, he is ready to kill me and Akio anytime now.."
"Why me? I didn't do anything!" Akio said as he hastily left Ranma's side and stood beside Akane.
"Honestly guys, please stop it!!" Akane said impatiently as she blushed red with embarrassment. She hastily tried to change the subject and asked them, "What about mom calling a cop? What was that about!?"
Nabiki smirked and began saying,
"Oh well, this is the first time she saw you vanish like this!"
"But I left a note, ain't I ?" Ranma asked, confused..
"Ranma, Ranma, Ranma.. You forgot to write down your name dear.. But, me and Kasumi recognized your handwriting, but Aunt Suki was not convinced enough. She is thinking that maybe some random guy has taken her princess away.. That's why she is in a very panicky situation. And things didn't help much when that Taichi guy appeared with his grandmother to see if we are lying to them or not.."
"What!! How dare they!!" Akane said, hissing.
"They are complete psychos.." Akio added..
"Anyway, to make them believe that you guys are "ACTUALLY" dating each other, we had to make a story up!!"
Akane and Ranma looked at each other as Akane asked her in a low tone,
"And… the story is?"
Nabiki nervously cleared her throat and politely asked Akio,
"Akio honey, would you mind telling them.."
"What!! Me?" Akio asked and saw Nabiki nodding at him. He got more confused as he asked them in a doubtful tone, "But first clear me one thing Ranma .. Did you guys forget to bring protection with you? Or did you already did it without using it?"
"Huh! Why would I want to use any protection for? I never use them with her!"
"Really!" Akio asked in an amazed tone, "Wow man, you sure are lucky! Akane allows you to do that without that!"
Akio's questions were not making any sense to Ranma at all. He rubbed the back of his head and said nonchalantly,
"Well yeah!! We never used any of them and We won't ever, I guess!!"
Nabiki burst out laughing loudly as she held her tummy .. It didn't take too long for Akane to understand what 'Protection' Akio was talking about. But she became so shocked to hear Ranma's explanation that she became completely speechless.. She just couldn't believe how dense Ranma acts sometimes and was thinking to herself when he really is going to grow up in real!! This is so dumb! And when she heard her sister's hysterical laughter , she came back to reality as she growled annoyingly.. Her face heated up , she hastily took a hold of Ranma's ponytail and pulled it hard, to make him stop talking..They were face to face now as Ranma yelled to her face with a painful tone,
"OUCH!! HEY!! WHY'D YA DO THAT FOR, TOMBOY!!"
"WOULD YOU STOP BABBLING NONSENSE , BAKA!!"
"WHAT!! I WAS JUST ANSWERING AKIO TRUTHFULLY, DUMMY!! TELL ME,WHEN DID WE USE THOSE PROTECTIONS BEFORE?!"
"RANMA!! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!?"
"OFCOURSE I KNOW!!"
"YOU ARE SUCH A BAKA BAKA BAKA!!"
"Guys guys please, trees are watching!!" Nabiki said in between her laughter.. She slowly calmed down and said breathlessly,
"Akio!! I asked you to tell the whole story to them, not to start from the middle!"
Akane left Ranma's hair and asked Nabikj while facing her, "Nabiki, this is not fun anymore.. Tell me what Akio was talking about!!" She asked fearfully..
"Oh well!! Do I have any other choice left!? Okay, so here is what happend..…."
And she told them every detail of the story they made up for them…..
