New Power
Chapter 2: Clearing things up
Startled by the unexpected noise next to him, Ranma jumped a bit and saw that Akane was kneeling by his futon eyes wide open with what she just heard him say. Neither of them moved from where they sat, both trying to understand what had just happened. Suddenly Akane jumped at Ranma hugging him tightly with her head on his chest, Ranma was frozen with shock for a second but slowly wrapped his arms around her in a gentle embrace nuzzling his face in her hair and breathing her calming scent.
"Ranma, Say that again."
"I, I love you Akane."
"Ranma." Akane says hugging him tighter, "I, I love you too"
"Thanks Akane, that's what hoped you'd say" pulling her away from himself and holding at arms length, looking sad and uncomfortable "Um Akane, I'm sorry 'bout all the insults I said to you. Especially about calling you uncute."
"Ranma..."
"Yea?"
"Shut up and I'm sorry for all the times I hit you and called you names."
"Akane..."
"Yea?"
"Shut up
The two of them sat leaning on the wall under the window with Akane on Ranma's lap with his arms around her waist, simply enjoying each others company and the rare silence in Nerima. Akane began to nod off a little and snuggled more into Ranma's shoulder and pulling his arms higher and tighter around herself. Too bad that moment didn't last very long...
The two teens quickly found out that snuggling together under a window was a bad idea when there are at least half a dozen people after both of them for one reason or another. Needless to say that Ranma and Akane were surprised that their moment together was cut short and were angry at those who burst through the window, who happened to be Shampoo, Mousse, Ryoga, Kuno, and Kodachi.
"Let go of Airen, Pervert Girl!"
"Shampoo! Forget Saotome! I love you!"
"Ranma! Get away from Akane!"
"Vile sorcerer! Release mine beloved Akane and free the pigtailed girl!"
"You harlot! Get away from my darling Ranma-sama! OH-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO!"
The only thought that ran through the two teens in question was Kuso! We finally get some time together that we both want and they come barging in!
"MOKO TAKABISHA!" They shouted together. Unfortunately for those who were trying to separate them because they all tried to go through the window at the same time and got stuck, but were 'freed' by the twin ki attack.
To say that Ranma and Akane were surprised would be an understatement, Ranma was surprised that Akane's Moko Takabisha attack was stronger than his, Akane was surprised by the fact that she had actually used a ki attack with very limited knowledge on how to do it.
"Kuso... that was amazing Akane, I knew you had potential but I didn't expect that."
"..."
"Akane? Uh... are you okay?"
"..." THUMP!
"Aw jeez! She fainted." Picking Akane up, Ranma gently laid Akane on his futon and brought the blankets up to her chin. Ranma then kissed her forehead, "Have a nice nap 'kane.Ya deserve one for that ki blast ya did. Hell, ya did it without any practice too..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey 'kane you're awake." Ranma says sounding worried as Akane woke.
"Wha? Uh, what do you mean, Ranma?" Akane asks.
"You passed out after using the Moko Takabisha to blast Shampoo, Mousse, Ryoga, Kuno, and Kodachi out the window. I did it too and the window got destroyed...again." Ranma explains.
"I, I did the Moko Takobisha? But how I've never really practiced it much before..."
"You've been practicing that?"
"Just a little here and there."
"Daaaammmn."
"Um Ranma, are you just gonna stare at me like that all day?" Akane asks.
"Good job 'kane." Ranma says before trapping her in a hug and a kiss on the lips, which Akane gladly returned a second later.
The sounds of sniffling, shushing, and barely controlled whispering of wedding plans alerted to teens in the room that they had some uninvited spectators watching them through the barely opened door.
"Should we give them a show or should we try to find somewhere more private?" Ranma whispers in Akane's ear.
"How about a little show and continue in the dojo."
"Sounds good to me but lets not go to there. We'll find somewhere more private if that's possible in this town." Ranma says causing Akane to giggle before kissing again as a camera flashed repeatedly and the sounds of celebration increased in volume.
"Hey where'd they go?" Nabiki asks when the kissing couple disappeared with the Umisen Ken.
"I don't know but they'll be back later." Kasumi says wiping a tear from her cheek.
"Tendo, No-chan, we have wedding plans to discuss." Genma says as he drags them to tea room.
Through the streets and over the rooftops of Nerima two blurs could be seen, one green in front of a blue one, laughter could be heard from them much to the confusion of the residents who couldn't trace the source.
Nearby on the same row of roof tops Ranma was carrying Akane on his back and laughing with her at their families reactions to their little 'show', still in the Umisen Ken.
On top of a large flat roof of a business the green blur was looking back at the blue one while Ranma was looking over his shoulder at Akane. Neither pair noticed the other until they collided and obviously noticed each other before the blue blur ran into the others and pushed them all off the edge into an alley with a conveniently placed open dumpster.
Guess where they landed.
