MILES APART

'Hey A.K.A.N.E…'

'Wassup Sayuri? You look excited. Something coming up?' The young Tendo asked.

'Yes indeed Akane. But we want to have fun Akane. Will you let us have fun?' asked Yuka.

'I don't get it.' Akane was confused now. What fun are they talking about. What can I give them. Don't tell me they are…lesbians!

'We know what you are thinking Akane and NO! We are not.' replied Sayuri.

'What we meant was that there is a fight..um..rivalry you may say between Ranma-kun and Souta-kun on "WHOM DOES AKANE BELONG TO?". So we want you to choose wisely Akane. The one you love' advised Yuka.

'Hai. Thank you guys,but I have already chosen the one so this fight will be ending now..'Akane said with a beautiful smile on her face.

'And who..is..it?'

Akane froze as she felt a hand on her shoulders. She turned around 'S..Souta…'

'Yes now so who?'

'Well..um…'

'No need to tell Akane hah! For I know already that my beloved Akane will be choosing ME! Of course. I am much better than that transgender bitch and I know you since ages. Right Akane?'

"…"

'Akane?' Souta asked.

SILENCE

He was trembling now. His eyes went blank and he continued to hold Akane by her shoulders.

'I. It hurts Souta.'Akane said. She was struggling. He was strong, no doubt but she chose one she loved. Even if he knew her since god-knows-when but Ranma has captured her heart.

THUD

Souta was sent flying at the corner of the room. He started to bleed and looked lifeless.

'It hurts, she said. Do you have problem hearing? Don't touch my girl.'

ENTRY RANMA SAOTOME!

'W..why you.' Souta stood up. He was having problem standing but he did stand up on his own.

'You are responsible. You took her away. You snatched her. You destroyed my future. You took my dreams. You took…MY AKANE!' Souta shouted. Veins popped on his forehead. His eyes were deep red as if they would burst.

'She was never yours to begin with. Her feelings changed. SHE IS MINE!' Ranma roared on top of his lungs.

'You bastard!' Souta said as he ran towards Ranma to fight.

'NO! STOP.' Akane pushed Souta away from Ranma.

'Please..try to..try to understand. I love him.' Her eyes were filled with tears. 'I admire you Souta. I always did. But like a brother. He is the one I love. Leave us alone.P..please' Her voice choked as she fell on her knees. Ranma caught her and took her away.

He is the one I love. Leave us alone.P..please'

Leave you alone Akane? Give up on all my feelings. Leave you. Why? When you say it like that I feel guilty. Why do you have to cry because of me?

' You do feel guilty right?'

'What do you want transgender bitc..'

'I am here to tell you something important. Listen please for Akane. Listen Souta Takumi.'

'…'

'When you really love someone all you must want is to see them smile. If you want her to be with you by force and cry for her entire life then that is not what they call love, it is possessiveness. Wanting someone even if you have to kill people. If Akane would have chosen you, I..I could have only cried till death probably. But I would not hurt her and force her to be with me. Because I want to see her smile. Her warm smile. I want to hear her giggles. And if you were the person who could make her happy. Then Akane's happiness is more important than my love for her. I would not hurt you as well. Because I don't want her to hate me. She loves you but not like she loves me. You make her smile too. It is just a different smile. You cannot fill the "love" space in her heart but that doesn't mean you leave her heart, you fill the space that she has saved for you. The "Souta-kun" space. But if you try to take the space that does not belong to you. Your space will be filled as well and you will be thrown. Be happy because I cannot ever take your place in her heart. You are special for her.'

'You sure do speak a lot.' Souta smiled 'I am leaving for France the next week. I wanted to take Akane with me but I guess I will be happy with my space in her heart. But yes you remember

IF YOU EVER MAKE HER CRY I WILL BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF YA.

AND THEN I WILL TAKE HER, YOU WILL LOOSE HER FOREVER GOT IT TRANSGENDER BITCH!

'Yes. I will never make her cry. Ever.' Smiled Ranma.

A week later

'Oh Akane-chan it's a letter from Souta-kun. I wonder what is it about?' Kasum said as she handed over the letter to Akane.

'I will read it' replied Akane with a smile.

Dear Akane,

These are going to be my honest feelings.

I kinda knew since beginning that you are going to choose that transg..Ranma guy. Because you looked his way with your eyes filled with emotions that were unexplainable. That is why I forced you to sex so that we become one. Sorry.

I know that he is the one and I hold a different position in your heart. I am still recovering from the trauma. But I am glad I fell for you.

Akane..

I knew that even when we were together, we were miles apart. Our heart were not in same rhythm. We were probably not fit to be together.

Meeting him might be your fate but being with him is your destiny. Don't run from it, accept it.

Haha I guess you already did accept it. I still have to work towards accepting it.

I am sure that when I see you in wedding dress I will break Akane. But I WILL BE THERE SO INVITE ME 'KAY?

I always believed that your fate is what you make it is not out of your control but indeed it is.

But you can control over your destiny Akane.

OH! IF HE MAKES YOU CRY DIAL 011- 987XXXXXXX I WILL BE THERE. BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM AND FLY YOU HERE TO FRANCE. SEE YA AKANE-CHAN.

With love,

Souta Takumi.

Akane folded the letter. She had a small smile on her face. Words were echoing in her mind-Meeting him might be your fate but being with him is your destiny. Don't run from it, accept it.

'Hey Akane, cmmere I got some watermelons cut for you!' shouted Ranma

'You are right Shou-kun. He is my destiny. And I accept it'
