Okay, well, exams are over, so that means I can update already! Yay! This is the third story I'll update for today and the title of this chap is 'The Day They Met!' Thanks to all of you who reviewed, and I promise to do the best I can to make this a great story. Just please continue supporting! Anyway, I'll stop talking now, I'll just start the story! R&R! Wait, before I forget, I edited this chap for errors. BTW, the reason I haven't updated the next chap is because my life is really hectic now and I have no time to proofread my works. So sorry for the delay. Anyway, just read this, this is all I can do for now.


It was just a normal day at the Tendo household. Kasumi prepared breakfast as everybody got ready. Ryoga in the other hand got lost on his way to the dining room to eat, again. Luckily for him, Akane found him.

"Ryoga, there you are! You got lost again? Come on, eat already! I have to go to school now. I can't afford to be late," Akane said to him and pulled his hand to the dining room so he could eat.

"I'm sorry Akane. You do know that I just have a bad sense of direction, and I accept that," he said sincerely to his girlfriend.

"Don't worry, whenever you're lost, just call me, I'll be there to lead you to the right way," Akane said as she opened the door, leading to the dining room.

They then both sat down and Ryoga started to eat his food. When he had finished eating, he decided to tell Akane what he had been thinking hardly about something from last night. "Akane, I want to tell you something."

"What's that Ryoga?" Akane asked as he looked at him straight at the eye.

"I've been thinking hard about something and well… I think… I want to go to school with you. I don't want to just hang around here, bored whenever you're gone, just training the whole day. I do that every day and it's so dull. Besides, I miss you when you're gone," he explained.

"Awww, that's so sweet Ryoga, I miss you too. But are you sure? I mean, it's okay with me, but do you really want to? You may not be ready for school, you can get lost."

"Yeah, I'm sure. Don't worry, I'll try my best not to be lost. Besides, you did tell me that I should just call you and you'll read me to the right path. There's nothing to worry about, right?"

"Okay then, if you insist. Come on, this will be your first day of school so we shouldn't be late," she said and pulled him so they could go to school.

On the way to school, some of Akane's friends saw her and Ryoga holding hands. They already knew that Akane was taken, but they never did see Ryoga in person. Akane just thought it would be wise that Ryoga didn't leave the house that much since he might get lost. By that happening, it would take her weeks or even months to find him or for him to find his way back home.

"Wow, Akane, so this is Ryoga!? Great pick, he's totally cute," one girl said.

"Yeah girl, you sure know how to pick a guy," another one said.

"Oh girls, stop it, you're embarrassing us!" Akane said blushing. Ryoga as well blushed too. He never thought he was good looking, well Akane did tell him that a lot of times, but he never heard that from other people, especially women.


In the other hand, somewhere near Akane's school, Furinkan High, Ranma and his father were training. They then actually broke a few windows and lights by doing so and the school principal caught them.

"Goodbye son, you go take care of this while I go somewhere else," Genma said as he saw the principal and left his son all alone.

"Some father you are!" he shouted.

"Excuse me, you do intend to fix this, don't you?" the principal asked as he tapped Ranma's shoulder.

"I'm really sorry, but…"

"You will, or I will call the police."

"Okay… I wouldn't want any trouble. But, how can I? I can't pay for it? I'm just a teenage boy, I don't have the money to pay for the damage!"

"Luckily, we have extra glasses for the windows and extra lights. We just don't have a janitor to replace them. That means you're the one who's going to do so."

"Well… if that's the only thing that I can do then… okay," he said.

The principal then directed him to the storage room to get the things needed for the repairs. "It's just right here."


As Akane came to the school gate with Ryoga, her admirers came running off to her as usual. Naturally, she defeated every single one of them like any normal day, except Ryoga helped him for this particular day.

"Wow Akane, I never thought that you were this popular. Well, I can't blame you, you're a really cute girl," Ryoga said to his girlfriend.

"You're just saying that," Akane said as she blushed and smiled.

"No I am not. Hey come on, we're going to be late."

"Yeah. I think we should," Akane said with a sweat drop, remembering that Kuno might appear any time soon.

"Halt!" Kuno said and appeared from nowhere.

"So much for that," Akane thought. "Kuno, please stop it. We don't have the time, we're going to be late. Besides Ryoga would just beat you up, again," Akane said to him.

"Don't have the time? Well, there's always time to beat Ryoga up and I won't be the one beat up this time. I can't let him have you my dear Akane! He has to pay for hindering our love!" Kuno said and charged Ryoga. But with one punch of Ryoga, Kuno went flying off to the air.

"That guy never learns. He may be trained by Happosai but he can't beat me! Come on Akane, let's go," Ryoga said as he took Akane's hand.

"Let's!"

They then went in the school and Akane brought Ryoga to the principal's office so they could fix his transfer to Furinkan High.

After a while, everything was fixed for Ryoga's admission to the school and he was all ready to start off his classes. Akane went to her classroom before him and then just had her classes. While that was happening, since she was sitting by the window, she saw a guy fixing the broken glass.

She got really surprised to see a guy hanging there and screamed on top of her lungs. "Ahh!! There's a guy hanging on the window!"

Ranma too got surprised when she screamed since it was a little bit ear-deafening so he fell from the window.

"Oh my gosh! He fell! Sir, please excuse me!" Akane said, stood up and bowed. Then she and exited the room, swiftly. As she did, Ryoga was about to enter the room since he was about to be introduced to the class.

"Akane, where are you going?" Ryoga asked.

"Downstairs, somebody fell. It's my entire fault! See you later Ryoga!" she said as she ran outside.

Ryoga decided to follow her though but as usual, he of course got lost.

After a while, when Akane reached where the guy would probably have fallen, she saw nothing at sight, absolutely nothing. "Where is he? I know he must have fallen here."

"Looking for me?" Ranma said as she unexpectedly appeared to her, hanging by a pole, facing Akane, upside down.

"You! You're not harmed?"

"Why should I be?" Ranma asked.

"Well you did fall from the third floor. I mean, no normal person could survive that. "

"Well, who says I'm normal? I'm a really skilled Martial Artist. Besides, I grabbed on to the pole," Ranma said then flipped off the pole and landed on the ground. "Don't worry, I don't get injured easily. You just surprised me with your scream."

"I'm sorry. I was just very shocked that there was a guy hanging by the window. You don't see that everyday."

"Yeah, well, I kinda broke the windows so your principal made me fix them."

"Oh… So that's why… Aaah!" she screamed almost deafening Ranma, again since she remembered something.

"What's wrong!?"

"I left Ryoga! He might get lost! This is his first time at school!" she exclaimed.

"Who's he?"

"Ryoga? Well he's my boyfriend. Hey, can you help me find him? Please? We have to find him soon or else he'll be out or Nerima for good!"

"What's the big deal? It isn't like he has an awful sense of direction or none at all," Ranma said.

"Well… actually he does have no sense of direction. He even gets lost at home."

"Okay? Now that's weird. He gets lost at his own home?"

"Hey, you have no right to call him weird! You haven't even met him! He may always get lost, but he has other good traits! He's sweet, great-looking and more! If you don't want to help, just get lost. I'll look for him by myself. I don't need to hear from a complete stranger who criticizes my boyfriend," Akane said and turned around.

"Wait, I didn't mean it that way, I'm sorry," Ranma said and pulled her wrist. "Come on, let's go look for him."

"Fine, let's go."

They searched high and low for Ryoga and still couldn't find him. Until, they decided to go in the boiler room, the last place they haven't checked.

Ranma and Akane then separated and look for him inside the room. After a while of searching, the lights went off and neither of them could see anything.

"Is anybody there? Why did the lights turn off? The school must have not paid for the electric bill again. Ryoga? Ryoga are you there?" Akane asked then bumped on someone.

She studied his features though it was hard to identify who it was. Then, she touched his features and held his face, and figured that apparently it was a guy. He was like Ryoga so he presumed that it was him. "Oh Ryoga, I found you!" Akane said and hugged him. "Next time, when you get lost, just stay put okay? I don't want you to be lost and reach I dunno, Alaska," she continued then kissed him on the lips. "Wow, Ryoga knows how to kiss today, this is the best kiss I've ever had," Akane thought.

But, even though she thought that it was Ryoga she was hugging, it was actually Ranma. Ranma blushed when Akane held his face and he blushed even more when Akane hugged him and kissed him. He wasn't used with this kind of stuff except when Shampoo does it. She's the only girl he ever got close to and it was really awkward for him to witness this. It's like he was cheating on Shampoo. He did like the kiss but he couldn't let Akane hug and kiss him longer. She would just think that he planned the entire thing. He would look like a pervert. "Excuse me miss? But… I'm not who… you think… I am," he said all sweaty, as he broke his kiss to her.

"What?" Akane said and broke her hug. "Then who are you? You're not Ryoga?" she asked.

"No, I'm-"

The light then turned on and revealed who he was.

"You! That guy from the window!"

"I prefer to be called as Ranma."

"Fine, Ran-ma. Why didn't you tell me earlier? You're such a pervert!" Akane said and hit him on the head.

"Oww! I'm sorry! Well, I meant to tell you earlier, but it got really awkward and I really didn't-"

"Stop it. Stop your excuses. You know what, I don't need to be hanging out with the likes of you. I shouldn't have even asked for your help. That was such a big mistake. I just better find Ryoga. Oh, and if you ever tell anyone that we kissed, I swear I'm gonna kill you. I may be a girl but I kick-"

"Okay, I get it. Besides, who would be happy enough to even tell anybody that they kissed an uncute tomboy like you. It's nothing to brag about. You didn't even kiss well," Ranma insulted. "Well, actually she did kiss very well, but I can't tell her that."

"What did you just call me?" Akane asked, ranging in anger.

"You heard me right. I called you an uncute tomboy."

"Oh, you're going to pay," Akane said and tried to hit him. Only this time, Ranma dodged her attack.

"I don't get hit that easily. You just caught me off guard before."

"Why I outta!" Akane said and ran to kick him. Ranma just pulled her hair then threw her in the air (as said in chapter one, Akane still has long hair here). Luckily for her, Ranma caught her.

"You know, if I didn't catch you, you would be in a lot of pain right now. Face it, you can't fight me. I just held back because I don't fight girls."

"Let go of me!" Akane said and kicked his face. Bulls-eye!

"Man, you're such a tomboy! I'm out of here, I have to fix the other windows and lights so I could get away from you and this school as soon as possible. See yah never tomboy!" Ranma said and put Akane down then left her. He then ran away as fast as he could from her.

"Hmfh! What a rude jerk!" Akane said. "Though, that kiss was really the greatest kiss I- no Akane, that can't be! Ryoga's your boyfriend!" she thought. "Ryoga! I almost forgot! Oh no, where could he be?! If he's not here in campus, then, he must be somewhere else. Oh man, he's lost! I hope he could find his way back home soon," Akane said then decided to leave the boiler room.


Somewhere in Alaska

"Where has Akane gone to? She said she would just go downstairs. Akane!! Akane, where are you?!" Ryoga said, freezing. "I thought, she would lead me to the right way when I call for her name? Well, I can't blame her, she doesn't know where I am. Oh boy, I need to find her!"
