Ranma 1/2 is owned by Rumiko Takahashi.

Ranma was struggling at the moment. He was trying to find a way to get out of the residence without the knowledge of his parents. Not that he's afraid to face their wraths, but he didn't want to argue. He was not in the mood. His thoughts were elsewhere. As soon as his mind pictured the face of Akane, he knew that he must be in his best mood. 'Oh Akane, I'm coming don worry'. He smiled as he imagined her face shining in the moonlight, her bright chocolate eyes giving him an enthusiastic feeling, and most importantly, her smile filling him with warmth. The sound of snoring was finally echoing. Of course, that meant that Ranma's parents were finally sleeping heavily. That was the golden opportunity for Ranma.

Without hesitation, the young martial artist ran at full speed not even bothering to realize that a young woman with a large spatula in her hand was running beside him.

"Wait Ranma! Why are you running like this? And you didn't even notice that I'm here!" A very confused Ukyo shouted. She was panting heavily as she tried to keep up with him.

Ranma stopped his world record run and panting slightly, he replied:

"Oh Ucchan, hi… well I'm sorry I was really not paying attention, I was thinking about Ak- , I mean hehe you know…" Ranma blushed slightly as he watched Ukyo staring at him with lifted eyebrows and hands on her hips.

"Oh Ranchan you're so cute… still blushing when you talk about Akane" She giggled as his face reddened even more.

"Wha-? N-no, well… anyway I was going to see Akane"

"Ranchan, I'm still concerned about your fathers' relationship. I mean they can easily kill each other but thank god we can count on the police. Ranchan, I'm your friend and I will try my best to help you. If you need anything, just tell me"

Ranma smiled at that. As soon as they resumed their run, a very familiar voice coming from behind stopped them.

"Nihao Ranma! Nihao spatula girl! Where you going together this night? Shampoo would like to come with you. Shampoo love to walk with friends!"

Ukyo was the first to reply: "Oh hello sugar! I was talking with Ranma and he's going to see Akane."

"Then Shampoo would like to walk with you two until we reach The Tendo House."

A few minutes later, Shampoo and Ukyo left Ranma on his own so that he can continue his little mission. It didn't took him long to find the Tendo residence. Of course, that was because of his usual but discreet visits. Breathing softly, he gazed at the residence with mixed feelings. Although he had a very comfortable feeling -thanks to his love for Akane- he still had this bad feeling. No doubt, it was because of Soun Tendo. Ironically, Ranma's father wasn't better at all. Ranma didn't hate Soun as a person but he hated him for being a major obstacle when it comes to his relationship with Akane.

Putting his thoughts aside, the young martial artist took a deep breath before jumping skillfully on the rooftop. Of course, his undeniable ability made his move very successful. He landed very quietly on the rooftop. He glanced at his right and found his target. The window of Akane's room was still illuminated. Taking a deep breath, Ranma knocked softly on her window. Akane was startled at first, but as soon as she saw Ranma's face, she let out a sigh of relief. A big smile drew across Akane's face as she opened her window to let her lover in.

"Oh Ranma you're finally here!" Ranma smiled back and jumped in. He hugged her and kissed her cheek softly.

"Wanna join me on the roof?" He asked. Again he was rewarded with a big smile from her.

"Of course!" He took her hand and they slowly and carefully made their way to the rooftop.

They sat side by side watching the stars. Simultaneously, they turned to face each other. They stared at each other for minutes before they leaned their faces together and kissed softly. Out of breath, they broke the kiss. Ranma was the first to speak:

"Look Akane I can't take it anymore, we have to find a solution and convince our parents about our relationship."

"But Ranma you know that our fathers can't stand each other! I mean nobody's even allowed to pronounce the name Saotome in front of my father"

Ranma took a deep breath and assured her: "Don't worry Akane, I have a plan".

Author's note: Hey! I updated quickly this time! But I don't know when I'll post the third chapter. But it will be soon. And I know that it's another short chapter but it's better for me. Now regarding the role of the suitors (Shampoo, Ukyo…) they're just friends. They won't do anything important YET. Of course, it's not like the manga where they love Ranma and they'll do anything to be with him. I guess that the bitter relationship between Soun and Genma is already a huge obstacle and I don't feel like adding others. Anyway, I'll appreciate all the reviews. Finally I would like to thank "Soulfire" and "Hundaemon" for reviewing, I really appreciate it! C ya :D
