Chapter 5

Ranma couldn't believe it, how was it that he was always put in these situations. He saw Akane getting ready to leave and all he wanted to do was to stop her and explain everything.

"Akane, wait it's not what you think." it was too late; she wasn't even in sight anymore. He felt horrible, he wanted to invite her not Ukyo not anyone else, just her. He turned around to look at Ukyo, he was pissed at her.

Ukyo didn't know what she had done wrong. All she wanted to do was to convince him to take her but when she saw him all she saw was fire in his eyes.

"Ukyo what the hell is your problem, I never said that I was going to the dance with you" he was yelling at her. At that moment he forgot about everything, he didn't even care she was a girl, he didn't care that she was his best friend, he didn't care if he might hurt her, all he wanted was to pound her. He hated people hurting Akane especially when it was intentional.

"I'm sorry Ranchan what did I do?" she was trying to act as innocent as possible. She had accomplished what she wanted, definitely split them up.

"You just don't get it Ukyo. When are you going to get that I don't want you, you are just a FRIEND!

This definitely didn't go as I planned Ukyo thought. She couldn't believe that Ranma was yelling at her. With tears in her eyes, she ran away from their yelling "I just wanted to go with you"

Great now how am I going to get out of this he thought

Ranma found himself back in class after a disastrous lunch and found that Akane had not returned. He felt even more guilty to know that he had hurt her so much that she didn't even want to see him.

The rest of the day dragged on for what seemed to be an eternity. When the bell rang, Ranma was only too happy to be able get out of there. One thing was for sure, he had no intention to go home immediately, and he wasn't sure how he was going to be able to look at Akane. On the other hand, he was a bit scared to see Akane and find himself in her wrath.

So he just decided to walk through town, he walked through the street, look at people going about their business. He stopped for a moment at the park and sat on the grass. After a while, he notice the sun finally began to set and decided that it was time to go home.

When Akane had gotten home, she found almost everyone out, the only one home was Kasumi. When Kasumi saw Akane enter through the door, she became very preoccupied, Akane was crying and she seemed to be very sad.

"Akane are you ok?" Kasumi raced over to her and hugged her, trying to calm her down.

"Oh Kasumi, why does everything has to be so difficult?" Akane was talking in between sobs. Kasumi was barely able to make out what she was saying.

Somehow they Kasumi had managed to take Akane to her room and they were now sitting on her bed. "Shush, Shush" Kasumi was running her hand down Akane's back trying to calm her down.

Once Akane had stopped crying she told Kasumi everything, how Ranma and her had been talking and she thought that he was going to ask her to the dance. How she felt so stupid because she found out that he was taking Ukyo.

"Akane are you sure about this? Did you talk to him?"

"Kasumi you weren't there, Ukyo was even making plans for the day" she started to sob a little again. Kasumi could just look at her.

"Kasumi, I want to be alone for a while"

"Alright, do you need anything?"

"No thank you, I'm just too tired and I need to rest" and that is exactly what she did. As soon as Kasumi left, she got under the covers, not caring that she was still in her uniform. She quickly fell asleep after that.

When Ranma finally got home, the house was silent; no one seemed to be home. He was somewhat thankful but still wondered where they were. He felt his stomach make a sound, he was starving so he made his way to the kitchen to grab something eat.

He looked through the refrigerator and grabbed some leftovers from the day before. He placed them on the table and notice a piece of paper placed on top. He picked up and read it:

Ranma,

Mr Saotome and daddy went out drinking. Nabiki is having a sleepover with one of her friends. I will be out with Nadoka and won't be back until later. Akane is up in her room, she is a little…indisposed, please take good care of her.

Kasumi

As Ranma read the last part he looked up to where Akane's room would be and sighed. I guess I won't be alone after all. He placed the note down and sat down to eat.

Akane woke up feeling a little better, although a little groggy. She wasn't used to sleeping so much. She also felt a little weak because she hadn't eaten anything since that morning and her stomach gave a growl in protest. She lazily got out of bed and slowly made her way downstairs. When she finally reached the bottom, she stood frozen, there sitting at the table was Ranma eating.

Ranma felt her presence and looked up; her eyes were filled with anger. That was one of the things that he liked about her, her eyes could express exactly what she was feeling, she has so much passion in her and the emotions seemed to transmit from her eyes. Although at this very moment they seemed to be ready to kill him.

"Akane…" before he could say anything else she had ran up the stairs and back into her room, apparent from the very loud door slam.

He was in so much trouble.

He raced after her and was not standing in front of her door. He wasn't sure what to do. He tried opening the door but it was locked.

"Akane, please open the door. We need to talk." he was knocking. There was no response from her.

"Akane, please" he tried again but still nothing.

"Akane, you open the door or I'll break in down" he was yelling now.

Akane, knowing very well that he would in fact do as he said yelled back "No, I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to see you. Leave me alone."

"Not until we talk, you need to know what happened. You don't understand"

"No leave me alone you…you…son of a panda. I don't care that you're taking her to the dance, do whatever the hell you want and just leave me alone"

Ranma was getting very irritated. She didn't know anything, and she was just saying those things because she was hurt. But enough is enough.

"Fine then" he yelled back and went to his own room.

jdcocoagirl : yeah he never really said yes to Ukyo but you know how they are, if he as little as looks at them, they think Ranma is in love with them. I mean Ukyo AND Shampoo.

jdcocoagirl & Shadowalker666 : I like to think that underneath Kasumi is just as a free spirit as Akane, I think they are so alike. I would love to see Kasumi helping her sister get close to Ranma.

alexAP2010: I really wanted to know what you were saying but I just couldn't translate it. Sorry!

James Birdsong: Thanks!
