Right or Wrong
Drama, drama, drama
Ranma strolled next to his fiancée who wasn't paying any attention to him whatsoever.
"Come on quit it, it's getting so cliché, you running away and me following you I mean" Ranma said casually.
Akane snorted but didn't respond, as she just kept walking straight ahead.
"What's gotten your panties in a twist?" Ranma asked walking backwards so that he could look her in the eyes.
"Nothing happened to my panties, it's not like you would have any idea of how to…" she trailed of and went back to her silent state of appearance.
"Then what did I do to make you run away again?" he asked looking confused.
"Nothing, okay? You did absolutely nothing, now just leave me alone!" she ordered him.
Ranma growled for a moment "so what you said home in Nerima wasn't true?" he asked sill following her, but no longer looking at her.
"What if it wasn't?" she asked, now was not the time to be vulnerable.
Ranma stopped walking, he fell into some sort of a black hole that he wasn't capable to get out of "you weren't?" he asked his voice trembling with fear.
Akane didn't even dare to look at him, she could hear how much the question had hurt him, again divided in two she started running again.
Ranma meanwhile was feeling how the tears quickly gathered in his eyes, until there could be no more and they started falling from his eyes.
"No" he thought "she did mean it" he convinced himself, she had to, she just couldn't not love…
Ranma sighed and gathered himself, "even if she doesn't" he thought, looking at her still fresh tracks "I promised to protect her" he didn't feel it when his legs started moving, but soon he was running fast in her tracks.
………………………………...
Akane soon stood at Jusenkyou, horrible pictures hunted her mind, she had started crying a while ago.
"I'm glad you survived it" someone suddenly said, she turned around to face her opponent nearly trapping and falling into the pond of the drowned frog.
"Gees" he said, "if it hadn't been for me you'd be hopping around right now".
Akane looked up to face her savior, quickly trying to escape his firm grip.
"Let me go, you pervert" she shrieked looking in the blue eyes of her fiancée, woops excuse me, ex-fiancée.
"Stop" Ranma ordered, actually sounding somewhat serious for once "this is bullshit!" he said angrily.
Akane was put down, not that gentle but not so she would get hurt, she looked up at him her eyes shining with fear.
He sighed rolling his eyes, "don't look so scared, it's not like I'm going to kill you or nothing" he smiled looking at the nanichuan pond.
Taking a bottle he fished some of the water up, "you asked me how long I want you to wait till we can get married, then when I answer you just kick me in the face and run off".
Akane looked ever so guilty "yeah, but" she turned around considering to run away
again for a second, but took a deep breath and turned around again to face him.
"I- I don't" he looked at her questioning, she could see his eyes were filled with fear "I'm not ready to live the rest of my life like it is now".
"But you do?" he asked, not sure how to put this right, he could always blurt it out but knowing the two of them he decided against it.
"Do you?" it was impossible, he might as well give up, then he felt his water bottle being removed.
Akane who was now holding the water bottle looked at her fiancée, "that I do" she said, then walked near him an held the water onto him.
"But I don't want to get married with you" seeing his reaction of terror she put on half a smile "Ranma you've got enough troubles, a violent wife, who can't, cook, constantly get jealous and so on, won't do you no good!" she said constantly reminding herself that this was for the best.
Ranma looked at her in disbelief, she said one thing and he heard another.
"STOP" he begged even though his words came out a lot louder than attended, "JUST SHUT UP" she could see the tears and gasped not used to see Ranma cry.
"I'm all man now, you should be happy, I'm a whole man, why can't you just be happy for me?" he cried.
Akane trying to keep her mind steady looked at him sadly "I am happy for you!" she said slowly.
His tears wouldn't stop coming, all of the pain he'd held inside finally escaping "you know, this is where I for the first time admitted to myself that I loved, love you" he said looking around himself.
Cutting whatever she was about to say short he continued "this is where I nearly lost you".
Taking her hand against her will he held it up to his heart, she could feel his heart beat increasing "ironic isn't it?" he asked her "now I'm about to loose you again at the very same spot" he let go of her hand.
"This time because of my stubbornness though, I could never ask anything of you" looking up at the sky he finished of his speech "you have already given me so much".
Akane was amazed by everything, the words that had just left his lips, the truth in his eyes.
"Do you remember?" she asked him.
Ranma turned his head to look at the young woman now standing next to him "back when we first met, I think that's when we screwed it up" giggling shortly she looked him in the eyes "sometimes I wish we could go back and change it".
Then she looked down sadly "nah it would have gone wrong later on anyway" she said "when all my super rivals showed up".
He laughed "super?" he took both of her hands turning her around so that she stood face to face with him "the only thing that has ever been super about them is their stubbornness".
Akane shook her head "oh come on, you are a guy aren't you?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yup, and a whole one at that" he said proudly.
She smiled, "you know I wish we could be like this all the time".
Ranma let go of one of her hands and let his now free hand run through her hair "someday we might" he then raised her head up, now would be a good time to kiss her, he told himself.
Akane stepped back, "no" she said and was about to run again.
But he had yet to let go of one of her hands which he held tightly in one of his own hands, "please don't go" he begged of her.
"Ranma, I can't wait till we miraculously stop fighting, I'm not strong enough" she said trying to get her hand free.
"And I'm not strong enough to let you go" he said without looking at her.
"What do you suppose we do then?" she asked.
Ranma looked at her "let's sleep on it" he said.
She sighed, well she would just have to run away when he was asleep then.
Ranma heard her thought and made half a smile "together, under the same rug".
He was ready to stop her attacks, "why you pervert" she muttered.
"Hey, I'm just trying to make sure you won't run away" he said smiling softly, though he was grinning inwardly.
………………………………...
They had stared at the shore for half an hour before Akane had remembered the money she had in her pocket from earlier that day.
A 1000 yen for Akane's ticket, Ranma had decided just to swim across the ocean rather than loosing more of their food money.
Finally back in Japan Ranma threw of his wet clothes as they had gotten settled again, fearing tomorrow when he would have to go home and face everybody, he knew that Akane had wrote one letter and sent it home, he just wasn't sure if she'd mentioned him.
He looked at his fiancée whom was fighting with the wood they had gathered for the fire, he laughed a little.
They were getting along, at last he thought then looked up.
"Hi there Ranchan" the woman standing before him was looking no different than she had a week a go, admitted she looked a hell of a lot more feminine than 2 years ago, but a week had changed nothing.
"You ignoring me honey?" she asked.
Ranma could hear that Akane was watching, complaining about her 'cute' rival, as he himself had put it a couple of years ago.
"Ukyou, forget it" his eyes grew large as he heard the words coming out of his lips.
"Come on honey, I know you'd much rather be with me, the cute fiancée" again just like he'd put it a couple of years ago "than little miss tomboy".
Ranma cursed silently as he heard Akane's thoughts of her packing her stuff "Ukyou go away!" the simple words only sounding louder because of the silence and his look of anger.
"But Ranchan, I love you" Ukyou said.
"I love you too, but only as my friend" he said knowing that he would have to hurt her sooner or later "give up Ukyou, besides don't you think another dude as handsome as me would work? I know it's unthinkable, but there's got to be one out there" his pride reminding him of the last part.
To his pleasing Akane had unpacked her things again, he saw Ukyou's shoulders collapse and she walked away.
"I'm sorry" he whispered.
Then felt the cold evening wind run down his spine, reminding himself that he would have to get under the rug soon to avoid getting a cold.
………………………………...
He returned to see his fiancée still fighting with the fire, Ranma laughed a little then he went over to her, taking her hand.
"You know we ought to warm each other enough up, there's really no need for the fire" he said leading her into the tent.
Akane looked at him, "please go out while I change into my pajamas" she said pushing him out of the tent.
A few seconds passed, then she called out to him "okay you can come in now".
Ranma slipped into the very small tent, he lifted the rug and got under "you know" he said "if we are going to live out here much longer we have to buy a bigger tent".
She giggled, then turned to look at him "well, I may be ready to go home tomorrow" she said finding comfort on his chest.
Ranma blushed furiously at the sudden tenderness "and get married?" he asked hopeful.
"Well we might just need to wait for a week" she said smiling.
Ranma noticed that her attention quickly shifted to somewhere between his legs "say" she started grinning mockingly "is that a flash light".
Ranma's features quickly shifted into a frightened reddish color, but she surprised him with a laugh.
"So you do like me" she laughed.
Ranma growled and tried to hide his growing member between his legs.
She then looked up at him, "well I suppose you want me to scream pervert and bash you, like you love it" she laughed.
Ranma gathered all his courage and pulled her up for a kiss.

A/N: I'm considering a little, well how should I put this, tenderness…
Tell me what you think, should I let them play a little or should I just skip it?
