Ranma had been sitting in his room hiding for days when he heard Soun Tendo's voice outside his window. "Ranma isn't here," he had said. Instantly Ranma got up and ran over to the window to see who was giving him away.
Before he reached the window Akane had burst into his bedroom, "Ranma there is some girl out there looking for you."
"Some girl?" he repeated and finished his way to the window. When he saw the blonde haired goddess in the yard below he felt his knees go weak. His worst fears had come true even though he had secretly prayed for it not to happen every day. He looked at Akane and realized she was very mad, was it jealous finally peaking through?
"Ranma," Akane said walking over to the window and looking down at her father and the beautiful woman looking for Ranma. "Who is she?"
"T-t-that's the Amazon t-that w-was in c-c-charge of m-m-me," Ranma forced the words to come out of his mouth, and he felt stupid because now Akane knew how afraid he was.
"Well she isn't taking you back to China if I have anything to do with it," Akane said rolling up her sleeves and jumping out the window.
"Akane what are you doing?" Her father from below asked as he watched his daughter come from Ranma's old room.
"Go back to China, Ranma is not here," Akane said bravely with her fists clenched and ready to fight if the need be.
"Akane don't fight his fights for him," Ryoga said leaning against a tree as he had been watching this all unfold and no one had noticed him until now.
"But Ryoga, she's the one that tortured him!" Akane yelled down at Ryoga. Why was he being so mean?
"I see so Ranma is here," The Blonde Amazon finally spoke, "Or else you not know who I am."
Akane faltered for a moment, she wasn't very good at keeping secrets. Actually she was surprised that her and Ryoga were able to hide Ranma from her father for this long. 'Oh well it needed to come out,' she thought regaining her composure.
"And you are Akane? I know very much about you," The Amazon said in a sinister voice, yes Ranma had told her all about Akane Tendo.
"What?" Akane said being caught off guard yet again and in the instant she felt a whip around her and the huge pulling sensation. The next thing she knew was that she was down in the yard and she was all tied up with the Amazon's arm now around her throat slowly choking her. Akane could feel herself getting sleepier and sleepier.
"Ranma now you come out here or I hurt her," The blonde shouted knowing exactly what room Ranma was hiding in.
"Mascara let her go!" Ranma shouted quickly jumping out the window and down on to the ground in front of the Amazon. Now he was more mad than scared, he couldn't let Mascara do the same things to Akane that she had done to him.
"Why Ranma nice to see you," Mascara said with a large smile on her face.
"Ranma!" Soun shouted not believing his eyes. How long had Ranma been here and why hadn't anyone told him?
"Shut up old man," Mascara shouted before turning her attention back to Ranma. "I will let her go on one condition."
"Mascara I will not go back to China with you," Ranma said plain and simple, nothing behind the words except confidence.
"Very well then the girl dies," She yelled in anger and pulled out her clawed hand making a motion towards Akane.
Ranma was quicker than that now that he had almost fully recovered and he had somehow managed to get Akane away from Mascara before any harm was done to her. He looked down at Akane in his arms and her eyes were open so he set her on her feet and pushed her behind him. It felt good being able to protect someone again, since he wasn't even able to protect himself for the longest time.
"Akane are you alright?" Ranma quickly asked keeping a sharp eye on Mascara who seemed to be in deep thought about something.
"Yes I'm fine, thanks," she said looking down at the ground so no one could see the huge smile on her face. No one had watched after her like that in such a long time, it felt really good, like she was all of a sudden someone special again, especially to Ranma.
"Ranma, I see you become stronger since you escaped my clutches. Don't worry I will be back," Mascara said coming out of space and instantly she was gone with a puff of smoke.
"Ranma always have women after him even to this day!" Soun shouted over estactic that there was still a chance of marrying his youngest off. Screw trying to get Akane and Ryoga to get along, now that Ranma was back he didn't have to worry about anything; it would take care of itself.
"Mr. Tendo?" Ryoga walked over to the older man and scrunched his face trying to figure out why he was making such a weird face.
"Akane!" Soun shouted scaring Ryoga as he stumbled backwards away from the man suddenly shouting in his face.
"What father," the muscles in her neck tense just waiting for her father to say something.
"Make us a grand dinner," Soun said with a huge smile on his face.
