Disclaimer: I do not own ranma. Rumiko-san does. I am just using these characters for my story.

Summary: Ranma loves Akane and how he will meet a rival whom Akane loves! Souta Takumi, Akane's boyfriend is shifting back to Nerima to be together with Akane forever. Who will Akane choose?

Souta is here!

"Now Akane-chan your room is a mess. Are you planning to go anywhere by any chance?" Kasumi asked. Akane was searching for her favourite top or should we say Souta's favourite top. He loved to see Akane wear that top. He would comment on how hot and sexy she would look. She wanted him to see her in that top when she would meet him. He was so sweet to her. He would caress her.

'Duh! Totally unlike that transgender bitch! All he would do is say how uncute I am or how sexy and feminine UKYO & SHAMPOO ARE! LIKE I CARE!' Akane thought

~~~~~~~~~back to the present~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh yes Kasumi! I am going to pick up Souta from station. He will come from airport to Nerima by train so I am planning to be the first one he meets at Nerima"

"Oh really, Souta-kun is coming? Oh my what a pleasant surprise. When you meet him Akane-chan, do ask him to come to our residence for dinner."

"Hmm..sure onee-chan. I will be leaving now. His train will arrive in half an hour. I don't want to make him wait. See ya"

"Surely dear. Enjoy, I will see you at night with Souta-kun" Kasumi smiled

'Feh going to pick her BOYFRIEND! What the heck is wrong with that tomboy. Even if he is coming back. There is NO WAY she is planning to get together with that pimp. No way….yea I am positive. NO WAY! After all Akane IS MY FIANCEE-Ranma Saotome's woman'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~AT NERIMA STATION~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kindly pay attention, the train from Haneda to Nerima has arrived. Please mind the gap. Do not stand close to the entrances.

"So….HE IS HERE FINALLY! MAN I AM GETTING NERVOUS…. WHAT TO DO!?HOW DO I BEGIN? 'Heya long time Souta?' No! I have to look lke I was desperate to see him or else he will doubt I was cheating on him. So..'Hey honey buns…How were you without me? Now a welcome kiss(smooch)' NO WAY! WAY CHEESY, HE WILL HATE IT.. GET SOMETHING GOOD AKAN…"

'Hey 'kane, watcha babbling about babe?'

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! OH HEY, I MEAN hi… So, Souta-kun? hahaha, yes you are Souta-kun. Obviously Souta-kun hahaha so follish of me!' What the hell am I doing! I am making a fool of myself. BAKA!

(Behind the bushes)

'SOTA-KUN! And why is she being so tensed? Is it because she got to meet her man back? I never saw her this tensed. Does she really love him that much?' Ranma thought

(Back to the station)

"Um… Akane. I am sorry . I am just so nervous to talk to you now. You know because I love you, it is hard to just speak anything. But…you look cute in that dress. I love it' Souta said

'No way he is nervous too! Aww….he look so cute when he blushes! I REALLY DO LOV..I….

WHY AM I THINKING ABOUT RANMA? I HAVE A BOYFRIEND AND I PROMISED HIM THAT I WILL NEVER BETRAY HIM! I LOVE SOUTA'

'It's fine Souta. I am nervous too cuz you know I love you too'Akane said with a smile.

'LOVE HIM TOO! WHAT!HOW CAN SHE? SHE HAS A FIANCE? DID SHE FORGET WHOM SHE IS BETROTHED TO?'(here Ranma was angry)

'So, Akane I had something for you.'

'Nani?'

'But first we have to go to Tendo dojo and get you father's permission'

'Father's permission? What is it Souta-kun? Anyway Kasumi nee-san wanted you to come over for dinner, so, I think it's fine. Let's get going'

Akane turned to leave when she felt someone held her hand. She turned to see but was suddenly pulled back. Her head laid in Souta's chest.

'Oh no! I can hear his heartbeat! Wait a minute…HE CAN HEAR MINE TOO! NO NO NO NO NO!'

He cupped Akane's face and bought it closer to him. Akane could feel his breath on her face. They were just few inches apart.' OH NO WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT! THAT! I MEAN K…..KI..KISS! WELL WHAT DO I DO! SHALL I JUST GET ALONG WITH THE MOOD? IF I BACK OFF IT WILL HURT HIM. I HUESS I WILL JUST GET ALONG WITH HIM. Yea this is for the best'

Suddenly

THUD…

Ranma landed on Souta's face. Souta backed off and looked astonished. More like puzzled with what just happened.

'R…Ranma?' Akane asked, she was puzzled too.

'What the hell were you doing to her pal?' Ranma asked. It was quite evident that he was furious. He had an amazing battle aura which said 'do-it-and-I'll-kill-ya'

'Firstly, who are you?' Souta asked equally irritated as Ranma

'I am Akane's..'he was cut off by Akane

'MY CLASSMATE! Yes we are JUST classmates, you see Souta-kun'

'Oh! So, a mere acquaintance to Akane-chan. Well then, I must introduce myself as Akane's BOYFRIEND & LOVER. And what I do to my woman is none of you fucking business asshole. Fuck off!' souta replied. He was angry. He was a martial artist too. He held a dojo in Nerima too.

Ranma clenched his fist "This bastard. He has nerve to call MY WOMAN, HIS! And Akane, how dare she say I was just a classmate!? I WILL BREAK HIS PRETTY MOUTH WHICH SPOKE WORDS 'AKANE'S BOYFRIEND & LOVER'"

Ranma ran and kicked but Souta jumped and stood on Ranma's head. He balanced on his head with his pinky. Everyone applauded for Souta , Ranma of the other hand was left awestruck. He was dumbfounded. How can any guy who he just met use Ranma's head as doormat. Ranma was super pissed. He let out a ferocious battle aura. He gave a tight punch to Souta right above his head but Souta dodged it. He jumped on a pole and said 'And what exactly makes you think that you can beat up heir of ' Takumi school of aerial martial arts' eh?'

"Well, I know what! It is the fact that I am from 'Saotome school of Anything goes martial arts'"

'Anything goes huh! Well then, it will be wrong to say you are just an acquaintance to my Akane. Being in the same school of martial artsas my woman, I envy you. But this does not change the fact that Akane has always been my woman. So, I absolutely hate it when any other man treats her as his woman. Be it Tatewaki or you! I will not let you lay a hand on my woman!' Souta shouted.

'STOP THAT CRAP! CALLING HER YOUR WOMAN! FEELINGS CHANGE DUMBASS, AKANE MIGHT LIKE SOMEONE ELSE NOW. SOMEONE BETTER THAN YOU!'

'Someone else? Better than me? I hope you don't mean yourself cuz you're definitely NOT better than me!' Takumi jumped back down and held Akane in a bridal style.

'Now let's go to your dojo. Shall we 'kane?'

'eh?...yea…yes!'Akane said. She wasn't sure what just happened. She was dumb and dense but she did notice that Ranma was jealous. Very, very jealous. And it strangely felt good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~AT THE DOJO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Oh my Souta-kun. What a pleasure it is to see you again after 2 years. You sure have grown tall eh? Please make yourself comfortable' Kasumi welcomed Souta

'yes, Akane told me that you wished to call me for dinner. I am sorry to impose'

'Oh yes, I asked her to bring you here for feast. Souta-kun you are very close to our Akane-chan so we take you as a family member not any outsider. Please sit down in the living room. Otou san must be there. He would be glad to see that you are doing well.'

'Well then I shall surely go there nee san. I must pay my respect to otou san!'

'Yea you are imposing how about you leave us alone?' said Ranma

'And what are you doing entering Akane's house so casually you pest!'

'HEY MAN WATCH IT! THIS IS MY HOUSE TOO!'

'Your house too..'Souta looked at Akane but found her looking down on the floor 'Ah! I see. It surely bothers me to know that you are living under same roof as my woman but can't be helped. Cuz today I am here to make her mine forever!'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LIVING ROOM~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Now what do you plan to do Saotome?'

'I AM NOT GIVING UP TENDO!' read a board

'Otou-san how have you been?' exclaimed Souta?

'OH! YOU SCARED ME BACK THERE SOUTA-KUN!' Soun Tendo exclaimed

'You never told me, you had a son Tendo!' read a board again.

'Not my son Saotome, this is Takumi Souta. Akane's old friend!' Soun-san said

'umm.. not friend but boyfriend tendo-san'Souta corrected

'Oh hahaha yes'

'WHAT IS THIS TENDO!?'

'Anyway I just came here to ask Akane Tendo's hand to marriage! I wish to marry Akane sir. I want to be engaged to her and I am here as I wish to have your permission first. As far as dojo is concerned, I will personally take care of it and merge it with my dojo. I beg you to do this!' Souta said which left everyone in shock.

'THERE'S NO WAY AKANE-CHAN IS ALREADY ENGAG..'

'OH YES! SURE SURE I ACCEPT IT SOUTA TAKUMI. AKANE WILL BE YOUR BRIDE HAHAHA' Soun Tendo exclaimed.

'WHAT!'everyone exclaimed

'Are you nuts tendo!? What about us? Me and Ranma?'

'Oh Saotome. You can live with us. Just think about it merging with Takumi school will gain our martial arts school so much fame. We can live rest of our life in pleasure. They have a huge dojo with servants everywhere!'

'Thanks mr. Tendo. I will keep her happy forever'souta said. He looked amazingly happy!

'But…. In the end it all depends on Akane that whom does she want to spend her life with' Soun Tendo said

'HAI!'Souta replied

'ENGAGING TO AKANE! THIS GUY HAS GOT NERVE TO CALL AKANE HIS WOMAN, TRY TO KISS HER, HOLD HER IN THAT POSITION IN FRONT OF EVERYONE AND NOW GETTING ENGAGED TO HER. HE WILL BE A TOUGH ONE BUT…AKANE IS MINE!'Ranma thought.
