So I got a few reviews so let me thank you for them. I plan on posting more chapters about this whenever I get time (I'm taking a lot of hours for school plus a part time job) so bear with me. Also any names/places I put this in are not near me nor does it describe me. Anyway, on with the story!
Last time on外人….
"Ughh what do you want?"
"Ummm…. Uh… is this…. Sam-chan?" Akane replied nervously in english.
Akane heard rustling on the other line of the phone followed by a squeal.
"AKANE-CHAN! I'VE BEEN WAITING ON YOU TO CALL! I just wasn't prepared for it to be six am….."
Akane pulled away from the phone, her right ear ringing. 'Sam-chan is loud.' Akane thought. Despite her hearing problem, she put the phone back to her ear.
"…And I just realized that maybe you forgot the time change and well now I'm up for the day." Sam chattered on, completely unaware that Akane had pulled away from the phone.
"So Akane-chan, so I take it you want to know about my part of America?" Sam asked.
And so, Akane learned a great deal about Sam's 'little corner of America'. She learned that she was from the state called "Louisiana" and how she lived near the big city called 'New Orleans'. She also learned that school was almost out for summer break and how hot it was despite the air conditioning.
Akane told Sam about how Nermia was, how a bath house worked, her being engaged to a fiancé, and how her family owned a dojo.
"So you and your fiancé are supposed to get married right after high school and start running a school after you graduate? Akane-chan, that's messed up!" Sam said
"It's not like I agreed to it. I was forced into it." Akane retorted. 'But I don't mind it now.'
Little did either party know that an eavesdropper was present.
"Whatever Akane-chan! I gotta go to school! Call me after… wait, you're eighteen hours ahead so… 7am tonight, morning, whatever! Bye!"
*CLICK*
Akane didn't even have a chance to say goodbye. She put down the phone and walked up the stairs. 'I got a new friend.' She thought as she opened her door.
Ranma was angry. No, furious was a better word that could describe Ranma's jealously. Ranma sat indian style on the engawa, one hand helping keep his balance the other placed on his under his chin. While he looked calm on the outside, his mind was a whirlwind of questions.
'Who the hell is this 'Sam' guy anyway? Does he not realize that she's taken, she's engaged to me!' Ranma thought.
'It's not like I agreed to it.'
Ranma shut his eyes. He didn't want to hear it.
'I was forced into it.'
Ranma flopped down on the engawa and closed his eyes. Akane's words floated around in his mind. Their barbed tips pierced his heart. Akane won't leave him…. Would she? Slowly he opened his eyes to stare up at the ceiling.
Images of Akane with another man came into him mind. Akane hugging him, Akane kissing him, Akane whispering into his ear…. Akane leaving him, Ranma, to be with someone else.
NO!
Akane was his fiancé. If she wanted to be with someone, she would've already left. She could've been with Kuno- or any other boy from school, before he arrived. She was indeed pretty, hell even beautiful in Ranma's eyes. It didn't take a genius to realize it. Whenever they were out shopping for Kasumi, he pretended not to notice the gazes directed toward his fiancé. Sometimes, when Akane wasn't looking, he'd shoot them a glare. They soon cast their eyes somewhere else besides his fiancé.
Despite assuring himself that Akane would never leave him, he still couldn't get the image of Akane leaving or being with another man. So Ranma got up from the engawa and headed toward the dojo, hopefully to work out his anger and his fears.
So hopefully this is enough. Once again, I thank you for the reviews. Anything else you think I'm doing wrong, just message me. I'll do my best to fix it! Thank you!
