Antonettep: Another update
Chapter 8
Akane was standing there eyes wide, jaw dropped. It took a while for her to get a hold of herself but one she did all she could say was:
"Ranma…"
On the other hand Ranma inside the house was equally shocked that Akane was standing there, what was she doing there? For his part all he could say was:
"Akane…"
They stared at each other for a while before any of the two said anything.
Akane's POV
I knock on the door, I wait for a little but to me, this place looks like its empty. The place it very dark and there is absolutely no noise coming from inside so I just want to go back to the car, but as soon as I turn around I hear the door open. I turn back and I get the biggest surprise of my life, he's there. I mean, he is standing right there in front of me. I am too socked to say anything but my brain seems to know better and thinks of millions of reasons of why he shouldn't be there, so I ask him.
"What are you doing here?
But apparently he seems to be in the same state that I'm in.
Ranma's POV
I'm walking around the place in absolute darkness and the only thing in my mind is "why the hell am I even here". It is obvious that the place is abandoned and there nothing in here for a party. I hate those guys out there, why they even bring me here. There's stuff covered by sheets and start looking under some of them hoping to find something. But the only thing there is furniture. I'm starting to get very frustrated and on top of everything Hiroshi and Disuke are taking way too long. What the hell are they doing out there? But then I hear a knock on the door. Why the hell are Disuke and Hiroshi knocking when they can just come in? The door is not locked. I wait a while but they still don't come in so I drag my feet to the door and when I open it my heart completely stops. She is standing right there in front of me. What is she even doing here? But I'm too shocked to say anything. She's the first to ask me what I'm doing here and I find myself answering automatically without much difficulty, without even thinking.
"Well Daisuke and Hiroshi said they needed help getting some stuff for the dance but I don't see anything, their waiting for me outside. But hey what are you doing here?" he asked.
"Waiting for you? No one is out there. Yuka and Sayuri told me they were picking up a friend here…she turned around but they were already gone.
"Oh no, this was all some twisted little plan to get us here. You don't suppose it's a coincidence that we're both here alone in the middle of nowhere, right?. Just wait, when I get my hands on those two, I'm going to beat the crap out of them" Akane said clenching her hands into fists.
"I can't believe they just left me here" She turned around and started walking away through the rain.
"Hey, were do you think you are going. Come back here can't you see it's raining?" he went after her and tried to push her into the house. His curse was activated instantly due to the rain but he didn't even seem to notice that.
"You just shut up. I bet you're just mad because you're not going to see your "cute" Ukyo! Akane shouted at him.
"No it's not that, it's just…"
"You know what I don't want any of your explanations and I don't plan on staying one more second here" with that she started walking away but was soon stopped by Ranma, "Yeah, well I bet there was someone waiting for you at the dance huh?" jealousy very clear in his voice.
He doesn't know, he doesn't know that I was going by myself she thought but nevertheless answered " that's right and I don't see why that would bother you" she picked up her pace to get away faster.
"Akane…Akane if you haven't noticed we don't have a car"
"So, I don't care"
"…and it's poring rain, and in this weather we just might as well be in China."
"So, I don't care. I'll walk home, as long as I don't have to spend one more minute with you"
Ranma's POV
Kami, why does she have to be so stubborn? It's bad enough that we are walking around in the rain but now I'm a girl. God I hate turning into a girl, especially lately and especially around her. I have to do something before we go lost.
"Akane…are you crazy" he followed her for a couple of seconds trying to stop her and finally placing a hand on her shoulder.
"WHAT!" she yelled back
"We are miles away from the town, we would never make it. Don't you understand?"
"Well I don't care" she insisted
Akane's POV
Why is he following me, doesn't he understand that I don't want to be near him. The best thing would be to break the engagement. After all, he doesn't love me and I don't want him to marry me because he has to.
It did not matter what Ranma would say, Akane wouldn't stop she just kept walking and ignoring everything Ranma would say.
The only thing that was in Akane's mind at that moment was "Thank God that despite the bad weather, there are no thunders" she felt herself shiver at the thought.
Somewhere on the road Yuka and Sayuri were feeling pretty pleased with themselves.
"Do you think it was a good idea to leave Akane alone" asked Sayuri, her voice showed a little nervousness.
"First of all, she is not alone, she is with Ranma. Besides would you have preferred that he ended up with Ukyo?" asked Yuka
"No, of course not! I just hope that all of this is worth it" Sayuri said
"You'll see. She is going to thank us later. Isn't it romantic alone in the middle of nowhere? It's going to be great" Yuka had the dreamiest look in her eyes.
Ranma was getting tired of her stubbornness, they had been walking for a while and she just kept ignoring him.
"There no point in continuing walking? This road isn't taking us anywhere.
"Ranma stop, just shut up!
"But Akane we can't even see where we are going. There's not use"
"Stop following me. No one asked you to follow me" she yelled back.
"We are going to spend the night together, whether you like it or not" Ranma jumped in front of Akane. He grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder.
"Let me go, you idiot" Akane protested. "I'm… going…to bite you" she threatened with the first thing that came into mind, all while hitting him on his back with her fists.
Ranma walked back to the cottage carrying Akane.
A certain Okonomiyaki chef was getting impatient when her Ranchan seemed to be running late.
She paced around her restaurant trying to calm herself down.
She decided to find out what was going on.
She picked up her phone and dialed.
"Hi Kasumi, may I speak to Ranma? Ok thank you.
She slammed the phone down and gritted her teeth. "If he left so long ago, why isn't he here yet? He better not dare to stand me up or he'll regret it. No Ukyo, calmed down he would never do that to you" she took deep breaths, in and out.
Back in the cottage Akane was trying to squeeze the excess water off her clothes. She was looking at herself in the mirror "I can' believe I let them put this thing on my face?" she meant the make-up that was now smeared down her face.
"Actually, I don't think you really needed, you are pretty just the way you are" Ranma told her sincerely, almost whispering, without looking at her and slightly blushing.
Just as he was turning to look at her she sneezed and groaned loudly starting to feel a little weak.
"I think someone here got sick huh!" He walked towards her.
"What do you care?" she said, sitting on a couch near her.
"Well I couldn't let you just keep walking in the rain in the middle of nowhere. Besides, it gets very cold at night" he stated
"For your information, I have always taken good care of myself. Besides, I don't need your help!" she said back turning away from him.
"Akane, I think we should take our clothes off…" he was blushing madly "…or else we could get pneumonia" he was looking anywhere except at her.
"Yeah right and just walk around naked!" she said in a sarcastic tone.
Ranma's POV
I thought about it for a moment, just looking at her standing there, and god she's so pretty when she's mad. I found myself saying:
"That wouldn't be such a bad idea, would it?" Where the hell did that come from? Since when do I say stuff like that to Akane! The comment surprises even me. I have never in my life acted like this around her, maybe in my dreams but never in real life. But right now? I don't really care right now. I expect her to hit me or mallet me but the aggression never comes, I just stare at her.
"Fine, I'm sorry, it was just a joke. Here, why don't you go to the bathroom, take off your clothes and put this on you, at least this is dry" he said handing her a cover that he had found lying around.
Akane's POV
Who the hell does he think I am? Does he really think I'm that kind of girl! He apologizes, arguing it was only a joke, but why can't he understand that I care what he says to me because everything he says to me affects me, more then I would like to.
"That's not funny besides I am not one of your other bimbo fiancées that are only looking to seduce you, you pervert"
Grunting she took the blanket from his hands and headed for the bathroom.
When Sayuri and Yuka arrived at the dance Hiroshi and Daisuke were already waiting for them.
"Hey, how did it go?" asked Sayuri to Hiroshi and Daisuke.
"We just left him there" said Daisuke "What about you?"
"We just dropped her off too? Do you think everything is going to be alright?" asked Sayuri
"I bet it is. The cottage belongs to my brother and he is not using it. I doubt they will be bothered tonight" he said with a sly smile.
"I guess" was all Sayuri said but she was still worried, she didn't like doing that to Akane.
What do you thing?
