Ok so my life consisted of finals, Christmas decorating, all nighters playing video games. Thus you can go ahead and murder me… after I finish playing a video game…! I'm getting it together! Here's the next chapter!
LAST TIME:
Soon the two were fighting in the street, Shampoo on one side and Ukyou on the other. Ranma was happy that the attention was no longer on him but when he looked around for Akane, she was already halfway down the street. Scrambling for his bag, and ran down the street after yelling "Wait up 'Kane!" as the two women fought out their own problem.
Akane sighed as she held the water pail in her hands. Unfortunately for the duo, they weren't able to make it in time to class. Akane shifted the pail in her hands and tilted her head up toward the ceiling. Her mind swam at all the events that happened within the past forty eight hours. Sam was finally going to come see her! At long last, she would be able to put a face to the voice on the phone.
Then her mind drifted back to earlier this morning. Ranma's apology. Well attempted apology if it weren't for Shampoo and Ukyou. If those two hadn't have shown up…
Akane inhaled and shut her eyes. A small smile graced her face. She may not be able to know what would have happened but she could daydream about what could've happened.
"Akane I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you." Ranma said in a low voice. He glanced up at her with those sparkling blue eyes and gently grabbed both her hands. Akane's breath hitched as she stared at those eyes.
Suddenly Ranma leaned in her and whispered into her ear.
"Akane I love you."
Ranma pulled away from her ear and leaned toward her lips…
"Yo Akane, you ok over there?" Ranma asked.
Akane snapped her eyes open. Suddenly reality came crashing back and Akane blushed.
'And I say Ranma is a pervert.' Akane mused as she looked at Ranma.
"Yeah…. I'm fine!" Akane said in a rush.
Ranma gave her a quizzical glance, shrugged and looked out the window. Something was wrong with Akane. And he had a sneaking suspicion that it had to do with this Sam guy. His mood darkened. There was no way Akane could leave him but the thought of Akane kissing that…. Thing deepened his anger. Just before his imagination could run with the idea, the slide door opened up signaling that they were allowed to go in and start class.
Lunch soon came and Akane found herself sitting underneath the shade of a tree, waiting on her friends to arrive. She couldn't wait to share the news with Yuka and Sayuri about Sam. It was rare to find foreigners in this part of Nermina but a teenage foreigner! Akane was giddy just about the idea of her coming and just couldn't contain it. Unfortunately for Akane, she did not notice her friends were right in front of her.
"So," Sayuri drawled out, "What are you so happy about Akane? Did Ranma finally grow a pair and kiss you?"
Akane jumped at the sound of Sayuri's voice and blushed.
"NO!" Akane cried.
"Oh? So then what did he do? You can tell us Akane-chan!" Yuka said smiling as the two of them sat down near Akane.
Akane blushed even harder. "IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!"
"Then why are you so happy then Akane-chan?" Yuka baited.
"Akane sighed. "Do you two remember that English project we had to do?"
Sayuri put her pointer finger against her the side of her cheek. "You mean the one with the pen pals?"
"Yeah. My pen pal and I kept in touch after the project was finished. I got a phone call last night from my pen pal and she's coming in less than two weeks!" Akane finished.
Sayuri and Yuka looked at one another and squealed.
"Finally a chance to meet a true American!" Sayuri said.
"No wonder you were so happy Akane!"
The trio happily chatted about a new person coming to Nermina and chatted happily until the end of lunch.
