Okay that last chapter was a flop. Well to me anyway. It was just plot advancement really. It will never happen again...
Summary: Last chapter, Ryouga's death warrants...uh I mean new test was revealed. I even wonder if he can do it. Let's find out shall we.
---------------------------------Chapter 6: Unveiling the Truth------------- ------------------------
"So, Akane, why are you here again."
"I just told you that I was sent a letter saying that a friend would need my help." Akane snuggles up close to Ryouga, "Who would have thought that it was you who needed help."
Ryouga looks at her a little flustered.
'She is finally giving me signs of love.' Ryouga thinks to himself and begins crying inside, 'Finally she loves me. Akane has finally forgotten about that stupid jerk Ranma and fallen for me. This is the happiest day of my...'
Ryouga uses his brain for the second time while in Tibet.
"Akane?"
"Yes."
"Do you know where P-Chan is?"
"Yea P-Chan is at home. I gave him some food right before I left."
Ryouga jumped up and yelled. "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! SINCE I AM STANDING RIGHT HERE!!!!!"
"What does feeding P-Chan have to do with you?"
"Uh...well...I miss him and..."
"Wait a minute, when did YOU find out about P-Chan?"
"That stupid jerk Ranma told me."
"Did he tell you how much of a jerk to P-Chan he is?"
"I know how that feels firsthand."
"What did you say?"
"Uh...I bow in disgust to that man."
"You bowed to Ranma!!!"
"Uh...yea...I mean no...I mean..."
Ryouga ran away as fast as possible.
"Hmmm...what did he run away for?"
Ryouga ran into his room and slammed the door behind him. He begins pacing around his room wondering about today's events.
"Hmmm. Akane rubbed against me, she took a while to realize the P-Chan thing, and she didn't try to kill me when I left her. There is something not right about her. She just seems so...not Akane like. Its weird. I think this is going to be easier than I thought. Let me sleep tonight as tomorrow will be my day of victory against Fushingi and Ranma."
Ryouga falls asleep pleasantly, waiting the new day where his victory will be known. Or so he thinks.
The next day, Ryouga awakens and jumps out his bed. His "Ranma fighting garments" miraculously were changed from white to red.
"I wish he would just give me my clothes. I'm really getting tired of being dressed by an old man. Now if Akane was doing it..."
Ryouga begins to daydream about if Akane was put his clothes on for him. He walks around the shrine in a daze and then bumps into Akane. Akane falls down, dropping a silver platter she was carrying.
"Oh...sorry Akane. I didn't see you there."
"It's okay. I made some breakfast for you and I was wondering..."
Ryouga attempted to accept the food but his stomach began turning before he could say anything and his mouth became completely dry when he opened it. Seeing this as her chance to "test" her food out, she shoved some rice into his mouth. He instantly began crying as if he just lost one of his toes.
"So Ryouga... how is it?"
"It tastes..."
Ryouga forgot all about how awful her food usually taste. So he rolled it around on his tongue. His eyes began to roll into the back of his head. His legs went numb. His heart stopped. His brain froze. His arms went limp. He began crying.
"Akane this is wonderful. I have never tasted food cooked this well from you. I love it...and...I lllllllllllooooooooooooo..."
Akane smacked Ryouga in the back of his head.
"Thank you. Now I was saying that I loovvvvvveee yyyyyouuuuuuu."
Akane smacks Ryouga again.
"What was that for?"
"I just didn't believe what you said."
Ryouga blushed and then turned away from her.
"I've felt like that towards you my entire life. It's just that stupid jerk Ranma is your fiancée and..."
Akane jumps clear off subject.
"Ryouga have you taken a bath yet."
"No I haven't. Not yet at least."
"Well, would you like to join me?"
'A bath with Akane, this must be my lucky day.'
"YYYYYYYYYYYYes. Yyes I would."
Without noticing, Ryouga was already dragged into the bathroom while he was thinking of his lucky day.
"Wait...when did this place get a bathroom?"
"Does it really matter Ryouga?"
"Well actually it...it...it...it...it..."
It took him a while to realize where he was and what he was about to do. The only way to stop him-self from thinking crazy thoughts was to bathe quickly and get it over with. Yet every time he tried to not think about Akane, he would realize that he was in this predicament already.
Akane pointed at Ryouga and gestured for him to turn around. He turned his back to her as she undressed. His thoughts were going wild. The only things running through his mind were the many obscure things that he could do to her. He listened carefully as he heard her slowly slide into the water.
Thinking too wildly, and letting his thoughts take over he ripped his clothes clean off his body. The instant he did that he instinctly poured cold water on himself since he was around Akane. The moment a single drop of the water hit him, he realized what he did, but it was too late.
'I just changed in front of Akane. My secret is out. I can't hide my secret from her. My life is ruined. It's all Ranma's fault somehow. I don't know how but it is.'
Just then Ryouga, uh I mean P-Chan heard clapping coming from outside.
"Well done Ryouga. Well done indeed. I didn't know you had what it took to do confess your feelings or to unveil your secret to Akane. But you proved me wrong."
'That voice...YOU BASTARD!!! FUSHINGI HOW DID YOU MANIPULATE THIS! HOW!!! Wait, he can't hear me. I'm still a pig. I know, I'll just jump into the tub and then I'll get him.'
Fushingi walks into the bathroom. Still clapping his hands.
"Well I now that you have done this, we can proceed to the third and most vital task that you must accomplish."
P-Chan jumps into the water and turns into a naked Ryouga.
"Oh by the way. How did you like my Akane101 series android? I still cant get the bugs out so...it's not a good idea to stand inside the water with her since she sparks a lot and..."
Fushingi spoke too late as Ryouga was already being shocked to death. Ryouga fell unconscious onto the floor. Fushingi dragged Ryouga all the way back to his room and threw him onto his bed.
"Now that #2 is done, we can move on to #3."
Fushingi laughed as he left the unconscious Ryouga sleep off the shock he just endured, as his most brutal task thus far, awaited when he awakened.
