Another man? No way!

Hi! My name is Célia and I'm French, so sorry for my English.

I discovered Ranma a long time ago (maybe 10 years!) but at that time I didn't notice it was a great anime (I was too focused on Sailor Moon I think!). I re-discovered the anime few months ago and I decided to buy the 38 mangas! And now, I just want to try to write a fanfiction (my second attempt). Please tell me if you like or if you dislike.

I don't own Ranma ½….. sniff.

Chapter 1: a wedding shop….

The week after the failed wedding was really weird.

Akane seemed to be lost in her thoughts and Ranma wanted to talk to her, to make things clear but he just couldn't.

Now there she was, lying on her bed thinking of him…

'That baka, baka, baka, if he had just said that he was in love with me it would have been easier to talk now. But no! Maybe he is just NOT in love with me… but I could have sworn that he said that he loved me that day. Of course, he just thought I was dead… Am I so impressive? Is it so difficult for him to express his feelings? Baka, baka, baka', she rolled on her bed.

Another voice in her head was talking now, 'ne Akane? And you… have you told him clearly?' she was now very upset against herself. A single solution was offered to her to ease her anger, she took her pillow and threw it at the door, and cried "Bakaaaaaaaaaaa".

……………..

Of course, it was the time Ranma chose to go and talk to her. He didn't know exactly why his feet had leaded him here. 'Okay, calm down, just talk to her, it has been a week since the "wedding" and since, we weren't able to talk together and it is too bad, we are still fiancés, ne? yeeeeeeeeees, okay just knock, enter and ask her how she is, you can do it, you are a man! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh…' Ranma stood before the door and was about to knock when he heard a "Bakaaaaaaaaaaaa" coming from the room.

'Okay, maybe it's just not the right time to talk to her, and was the "baka" for me?' he was about to leave when the man inside him told him to go and talk to her, the more you wait, the more difficult it is. He gathered all his courage and knocked.

……………

When she heard the knock, she knew the person outside had heard her word. 'Please, let's hope it's not him, please…'.

He didn't heard her answered, "Akane, it's Ranma, can we talk?"

She didn't know what to do, how she will explain the 'baka' and she was in her nightdress, she didn't feel at her ease, but she knew he knew she was in her room, "Hmm yes, come in…"

He walked in, and was so lost in his thoughts not knowing what to say, that he didn't look where he put his feet and he tripped over the pillow, the head first and flattened all his body on the floor.

When he lifted his head he found an interesting view, the legs of Akane who was standing up before him in her nightdress. Maybe a little bit too short… he just had a good view of her panties! And he just knew he was about to be hit… he waited, he waited but it never came, what in the hell? And then, he heard her laughing, she even gave him her hand to help him to stand and was laughing.

"Ha ha ha, ha Ranma, you should have seen your face! I didn't laugh so hard since a long time…" When he was standing besides her, she told him "But don't think I didn't notice your look under my nightdress so….." she hit him on the head but it was gently.

'What is she up to?' Ranma couldn't help staring at her, it felt so right to see her smile, she was just so cute.

Finally, Akane felt very happy to see him, he didn't seem to be upset, and when he entered her room he was so cute blushing. It was definitely her same old Ranma. "You wanna talk Ranma? Please sit down". They sat on her bed.

Ranma was in fact really proud of his entrance because there was no tension in the air. He looked her in the eyes and began: "hmm yes… I just… wanna… to make sure you are fine because…. A week …. The failed wedding…"

"Ranma, could you speak louder?" inside her she was very amused by him being so polite, so concerned and she decided that as he made the first step by coming to see her, she had to speak maybe for two.

"Ranma, first, the 'Baka' you heard was not for you, in fact it was for me and for you too, but it was… you know…" she wanted to make it clear but she found she was as him, she just couldn't look at him in the eyes and told him the truth. 'I'm as bas as him'.

Silence…..

He decided this time not to fail "Akane, I came to tell you I am very sorry for what had happened at our… hmm at the wedding. I hope you are not angry against me." Fouhhhhh, it was hard for him.

She was very impressed by his little talk, 'he thought I was angry, yes but…', he needed to be comforted, it was so weird, normally it was her who needed this and she just wanted to make it clear with him, it was not his fault. She took his hand 'what am I just doing? Oh man, I'm blushing… calm down girl, breathe', "Ranma, yes I'm angry but not at you, … I'm angry because the others are so annoying sometimes, I didn't understand how they could make such a mess." 'Wait a minute girl, are you just telling you wanted to be married?'

"Akane, hmm, do you mean you…" Ranma couldn't finish his sentence as they heard Kasumi asking Akane to come down: "Akaneeeeeee! A call phone for you!"

'Saved!' "Yes Kasumi, I'm coming! I wonder who phones me at 9pm!" she got up and looked at Ranma "Sorry Ranma, we just have to finish this talk another time, good night" and she ran down the stairs leaving behind her a stunned Ranma.

…………..

Ranma was now in his room, he was very satisfied with himself (ha his macho man side…). 'This little talk was very interesting, I was right to go and see her, yeah I'm really a great man and a nice fiancé'. He looked at his hand, 'she took my hand, and she almost admitted she wanted the marriage not to be disturbed, maybe…'. When he went to sleep, he was happy, the first time in a week 'Maybe….'.

…………

The next morning it was Saturday, when he took his breakfast, Akane wasn't there and when he asked Kasumi where she was, she told him she was in town.

He thought that maybe he could have a walk too.

As he was walking in the streets, he was wondering where she could have been. Then he noticed her leaving a shop.

He sensed the tension coming up in his body, it was a Wedding shop!

'Hmmm, she really wanted this marriage, but…. Isn't it a little bit sudden, we just talked yesterday and we didn't make it clear about the marriage…' 'ahhh she said she would like to continue the talk…. But….'

He couldn't end his thought as his head couldn't move anymore, he saw, he saw, he saw a man….leaving the shop too… talking and laughing with Akane and Akane taking his arm as they walked away….. 'What the….' Ranma was petrified 'Another man! With my fiancée, in a wedding shop, no wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy'
