A/N: This fic is reworked and modified..

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Lying above the roof of Akane's room, Ranma repeated that same word again and again with a hush irritated tone as he pinched his nose in absolute frustration. After that fateful wedding disaster happened, for five days in a row, he is having difficulty sleeping at nights. His mind is refusing to shut down completely, not listening to his plea to forget about everything and rest for a while. Not only that, day by day his situation is getting worse and worse! So worse that it started getting into his nerves , making him annoyed at almost anything and everything possible! Dark circles came under his eyes and the constant headache was making his days terrible.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Why am I the only one who is restless here!? How come she is peacefully sleeping in her room as if nothing has happened? That tomboy! That uncute, sexless, flat chested , baka! Baka! BAKA!"

Ranma sighs heavily as he angrily got up from his lying position as he thought to himself,

'I CAN'T just let things go on like this! And she just can't go on like nothing has happened at all! Oh man, it's too frustrating! NO WAY! How come I am the only one feeling this way! How come she is so calm and cool about all this! She was about to freaking MARRY ME! THAT IDIOT! How come this matter doesn't bother her at all. .? I mean it's not like I am disappointed or anything, but, but.. She just can't act so CASUALLY about it! Like it's a very normal thing that happened that day! No! Not in a million times, IT'S NOT A NORMAL THING THAT TOOK PLACE THAT DAY! AND I WON'T LET HER ACT SO CASUALLY ABOUT IT! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!'

Thinking that bitterly, with determination in his every step, he made his way towards Akane's room via her window. He cared less about the time or tgr the expected outburst he might get from her. He bravely went inside her room, determined to find out all the answers from his sexless tomboy which kept bothering his mind day and night..

Quickly, he silently entered her room and saw her laying over her bad. Sleeping peacefully just like an innocent princess!! No worries in the world, no wrinkles between her brows, no frowns, no eye bags like him… ! Ranma huffed with annoyance, getting frustrated as he stared at her peacefully sleeping form.

'That damn tomboy!'

He slowly tiptoes towards her. As he reached her side, suddenly he heard her moaning in her sleep and turning towards his side. For some momentum, he forgot everything as he kept looking at her sleeping face. She looked so calm, so beautiful, so warm, so huggable.. ! He stopped his train of thought immediately as he violently shook his head.

'What was I thinking!'

Pushing his brows together to concentrate on his mission and with courage in his guts, he took a deep breath as he started to poke at her revealed cheek to wake her up.

"Kane! Kane! Hey tomboy!"He kept poking at her cheek while calling her with a hush whisper tone.

"Kaneeee.. Hey kane! Wake up! Stop sleeping like a monster, you.. You.."

Akane whacked over his hand as if she just blew a fly away from her cheek as she scrunched her nose in irritation while she mumbled sleepily,

"Stupid flies! Have no other job but to disturb people! Shu shu… Go away!.."

That ticked off Ranma even more, 'Did she just call me an ANNOYING FLY! HOW DARE SHE!!"

He growled angrily as he started to shake her shoulder to wake her up, then he said with a harsh whisper tone,

"Hey! Wake up! You sexless, macho chick, sleeping beast…"

Still with her eye closed, Akane hits Ranma's head with her fists as she yelled sleepily,

"Aww! WHAT YOU JUST CALLED ME, YOU PERVERT! pervert?!"

Suddenly realizing something ought, Akane snapped her eyes open and jerked up with fear, when she saw Ranma frowning down close to her face. In her panic state, she hastily moved away from him while covering herself with her blanket, she was about to scream her heart out in fear when suddenly Ranma cupped her mouth shut as he whispers to her harshly,

"Keep yar voice down, tomboy.. ! Do ya wanna wake everyone up?"

Akene kept staring at him with wide panicky eyes as she breathed unevenly. After some moments has passed, she finally managed to compose herself, she growled angrily and pushed his hand away from her mouth. Then she asked him with similar harsh whisper tone,

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, PERVERT!!?"

For some reason, Ranma smirked at her reaction and said in low voice,

"Me! Pervert!? Huh! I don't think so!"

"What are you doing here, baka?"

"I wanna talk.."

"You wanna talk?!" She asked surprised and annoyed at the same time . She quickly checked the table clock beside her and asked in a whiny tone, "At this hour! It's three in the morning, Ranma!"

"I know the time, okay! And I don't care.."

"But I do care! What if somebody sees you here?"

"Why do you care?!"

"What do you mean by why I CARE!" Akane sighs exhausted as she says a little harshly, "I do care if a guy comes to my room this late at night!"

Ranma snickers and said while leaning little closer to her face,

"Ohh! Now you care! Huh, tomboy!"

"Huh! Ranma, I don't understand what you are saying! Anyway, I won't talk to you right now, now leave, we will talk in the morning.."

"NO! I wanna talk to ya right here right now..!" He paused for some moment and looked at her with a helpless look, "Please, Kane!"

Looking at his desperate form and the way he said those last words to her, she couldn't say no to him anymore. She sighs defeatedly as she said,

"Oh honestly, Ranma! What you want to talk to me about?"

Ranma gave a victorious smile to her. Then he quickly made himself comfortable on her bed as he sat down, tucking his feet on the bed. He faced her with a determined expression on his face. Although he wanted to act tough infront of her, but his heart was beating wildly with growing nervousness! He was actually thankful for the darkness of the room , because it was helping him to hide his deep blush from her. Then gathering all his courage at once, he looked at her in the eyes and started saying,

"I wanna say that, I, I, I ,I ; umm I mean to say I uh I, I… I… I. I. .. di, ya, da, I , di.I..l..I..I"

Knowing his stammering problem very well, Akane rolled her eyes at him and said with her greeted teeth,

"I… I. .. I. ..! I know you are an IDIOT, Ranma!THEN WHAT!"

"YOU ARE NOT HELPING ME TO SOLVE THE MATTER, TOMBOY!"

"SHOULD I BE LISTENING TO YOU OR HELPING!"

Ranma started to sweat with nervousness as he gulped with growing anticipation. He growled and looked down helplessly, sighing defeatedly as he became completely speechless.

Looking at his depressing state, Akane sighs and decided to help him. He placed her warm hand over his hard, trembling fist as she said in a warm tone,

"Hey, it's ok... Take your time, Ranma. You know you can tell me anything, right!?"

Ranma peeked up at her silently from under his bangs as he said in a low voice,

"Ya.. Umm.. Ya really wanted ta… ta.. marr.. marry me, kane?"

"Huh!" Akane came closer to him to hear him correctly as she asked him, "Sorry, I didn't get what you said! Can you raise your voice a bit?"

"I SAID!"

"HUSH Ranma!"

Nudging his lips while scowling at her, he said in a low whisper tone,

"You really wanted ta marry me, tomboy?!"

Fully taken aback by his sudden question, she looked at him with wide eyes as her mouth opened slightly in complete shock . Her face flushed red with embarrassment as she answered him truthfully..

"Huh!"

Ranma narrowed his eyes at her and said,

"Hey! I know ya heard me this time.. Don't pretend that ya didn't hear me!"

Akane shook her head in complete amazement as she blurted out saying,

"What type of question is this? And why are you asking me this, Ranma?"

"BECAUSE.." Ranma paused again and then sighs, "because I wanna know, kay?"

Akane's toes curled in trepidation as she growled with utter frustration. She bits her lower lip in worry as she wondered to herself,

'What is gotten into him? Why is he asking me this suddenly?' Gulping down her uneasiness, she said to him,

"I said 'yes', didn't I?"

Hearing her say that so casually, he pouted at her and asked her again,

"That is what I am asking , you baka, why did you say 'yes' for that? Was it only for getting me that nannichuan or ya really wanted ta .. ta.. Ya know.."

Akane swallowed hard and felt thankful that the dim moonlight was covering her facial expressions from him. She thought for a second as multiple thoughts began to cloud her mind, making it hard for her to think clearly. After some moment of silence, she sighed defeatedly and decided to give him an honest answer,

"Look Ranma, I told you already that I heard you confessing to me…"

"Huh! But I SWEAR I didn't confess TO YA aloud!" He defended himself.

Akane huffed angrily and said while crossing her arms over her chest, "OKAY! …. Fine, I understand that you didn't confess to me, happy now? It was my mistake, anyways!"

"IT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN, TOMBOY!"

"HUSH down, or I will kick you out of here.."

"Look, I.. I.. Um mm… not here ta argue with ya or nothin', okay? Just answer me correctly, then I will get out of here in no time.." He saw her sighing and nodding at him as he continued saying,

"You.. You.. Uhh.. Marry.. I..uh.." When he saw her slapping her forehead in annoyance, he grumbled in frustration and said with a harsh whisper tone,

"YOU WERE GOIN TA MARRY ME TOMBOY, IS THAT MEAN… is that… I mean.. What I mean to say is… You know very well that.. Umm.. A couple needs to.. Umm… to get married… they needs to share a umm a k..iss..? " He asked uncertainly as he again peeks at her through his bangs.

Realizing what he wanted to ask her, she become even more red with embarrassment,

"I KNOW that particular information, baka.. Why are you asking me such a lame question?"

"So ... you were ready to kiss me then!?"

"What the.." But he didn't let her finish,

"AND YOU DEFINITELY KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AFTERWARDS! I mean to say at wedding nights! You should know that PARTICULAR information too, isn't it, TOMBOY?"

Akane was so shocked to hear him say all that, her mouth went wide, her eyes large with shock, her heart started beating rapidly as her face started to burn with embarrassment.. She started to stammer like Ranma as she asked him in an amazed tone,

"R..Ranma.. !! Wha.. What...are you.. I.. I..I.."

Suddenly Ranma bounced over the bed excitedly and punched the mattress. He started laughing like a maniac as he said scarcely,

"Oh now look who is stammering! "

"I AM NOT..!"

"HUSH..kane.." He said smirking,

"Awww! How dare you! Get out of here , RIGHT NOW!"

"HAHA! OH! Now you want me to get out! But YOU were planning ta shift me here in yar room, by yar side, permanently, tomboy..!"

Akane growled and said, "I am warning you Ranma.."

"Oh should I be scared of that! " He again laughed as slowly as he could, making her growl even more, "Oh my God, Kane! You really are a pervert! You were really ready to do that with me..! Haha! I didn't even suspect it! I thought you hated boys! But you wanted to bring me to yar bad so desperately! Haha! I never imagined that you could be this pervert!"

"THATS ENOUGH!" She gave him a deadly look and before he could do or say anything about it, she hastily held his collar tightly and pulled him harshly towards her. Then pushing him over to her bed, she went up to his body and puts her one knee over his tummy. She yanked his astonished face towards her by pulling his shirt's collar as she whispers to him with her greeted teeth,

"I said… SHUT YOUR MOUTH THIS INSTANT!"

Ranma gulped in fear as he was not expecting this action from her. He could feel her hot breath over his face and could see clearly how her face was glowing in the dark. For a moment he forgot everything and kept looking at her as she breathed heavily. Sweat was tickling down his face, so was hers. Ranma kept looking at her with a dazed expression. Her breath over his face, her smell,her beautiful face were slowly taking his breath away. He was completely hypnotized by her beauty as he said in a warm whisper tone,

"What if.. What if we really made it, Kane.. What if we.. We really did get married that day? Would you… would ya really let me.. touch ya... You know.. Uh.. What I wanna say is.. Would ya.. ya know.. let me.. ki.. k.. ki.. Damn it!"

Akane could finally see Ramma's face closely which she couldn't see before because of the darkness. He looked so exhausted and his eyebags were bothering her for so long too. She also noticed that after their failed wedding, he had become kind of moody and angry type . He barely talks with anyone, he tried to ignore eye contacts with her and he also stopped eating properly. She was so worried about his change of behaviour! She wanted to ask him about it many times, but every time he would ignore her and leave without talking to her. But she never guessed that, this is the reason which might be bothering him. Akane sighs and shook her head and kindly whispered to him,

"Is that what bothering you for days, Ranma ?"

Ranma kept looking at her with a helpless look as he answers her without stammering,

"I can't even sleep, kane.."

That made her smile warmly at him. They stayed in the same position as she carefully loosened her hold on him and said in a gentle tone,

"Honestly Ranma, I didn't think that much when I said yes to marrying you. Believe me, those things never came to my mind at first and when it did... I just… I.. I got scared, okay? But it was too late to back down from it! But then, I thought that I should trust you,.I, somehow knew that.. you won't do any perverted things with me.."

"I won't!?" Ranm asked awkwardly..

That made her awkward as well as she reversed questioned him,

"Would you?!"

Ranma gulped, "I wouldn't if ya hadn't say yes!"

"But I said yes only for the wedding, idiot!"

"But that means you were ready for the other things as well..!"

"NO! I was not!"

"But you said YES, didn't ya!"

"Would you just STOP, DUMMY!"

"THEN WHY DID YOU SAY YES!"

"I MADE A MISTAKE, OKAY!"

"OH! NOW IT'S A MISTAKE, HUH!"

"RANMA!" Akane whined this time as she huffed and lowered her head in defeat.

"It's kay, Kane. Ya dont have ta hide it anymore." He sighs and says with a gentle tone, "I know it's not easy for ya to admit that ya want me.."

That made her look at him with wide, unbelievable eyes, "What did you just say?!"

Ranma shrugged his shoulder and said,

"Well, duh! As tomboy and as uncute, flat-chested whatsoever you are, you are still a girl, aren't ya? So, it's obvious that you can't control your want for a handsome hunk like me..! It's normal, Kane!"

Akane looked at him dumbfoundedly as no words came out from her open mouth. She was using all her power to control her anger at this stage. She didn't want her family to find out that Ranma is at her room at this late hour. Because she knows very well that if her father finds out about it, this will be the greatest opportunity for her dad to force them to marry each other again..! So, closing her eyes and gulping down all the curses she wanted to say to him, she took a deep breath and said,

"Listen Ranma…"

"Ya I am listening, ya can tell me anything, kane.. Don't be shy.."

Akane growled slowly and said, "THIS IS the last time I am trying to be NICE here, Ranma.. ! Please, DON'T take test of my patience.."

Ranma got the hidden threat this time and clamp his mouth shut immediately. She looked at him with a serious expression and suddenly without any warning she pulled him up by snatching his collar hard. They were nose to nose now, as Akane started saying to him with force,

"There are NO excuses for any what IFS, Ranma! No damn excuses! THE MARRIAGE was supposed to happen, BUT it didn't happen.! The WEDDING KISS was supposed to happen.. But it didn't happen! You wouldn't suppose to leave this room and I wouldn't suppose to worry about having you in this room at this late hour! And our wedding night… " Akane paused for a second then said with a low voice, "That didn't happen as well! And it feels to me as if we don't have any control over this matter anymore, do we? That's why, you don't need to panic about anything anymore..! We can't change anything right now, Ranma! And I am so sorry, I… I should have think about all this matters before saying yes to marry you.."

Ranma could see the hurt expression in her eyes and hear the pain in the tone of her voice. He could understand her situation very well because he was having the same heaviness in his heart as well. The what-ifs which kept bothering him for days and nights; and the possibilities that Akane was saying so boldly to him, was sounding so appealing to him that his heart started to beat rapidly with the feel of it. How he wishes.. How he wish that the wedding disaster never had happened and they got married to each other at that day.. But, that didn't happen. And she was right, there are no excuses for what-ifs anymore..

Ranma sighs defeatedly and nodded his head . Then he said with a misery-filled tone,

"Now what then? We live with this uncertainties?"

Akane sighs as well and said in an honest tone,

"I don't know.. I really don't have any idea,Ranma… We just have to wait and let's see, what happen in the near future…"

"What happen in the near future!!" Ranma repeated after her, giving her a confused look..

Akane smiled at him and said with a gentle tone,

"Look Ranma, I know things can't stay tangled up like this.. Eventually, we have to move on and choose our paths and make our own decisions… You know, like, if we ever decide to marry each other or choose to marry someone else." Akane paused for a second hearing his low growl, but she continued anyways, "But the good news is, whatever path we choose in the future we will always be friends and you can always come to me if anything bothers you, okay? Now tell me, have you got all your answers?" He nodded with a blank look on his face, she smiled at that and said,

"Good.. Now please, I am really feeling sleepy right now, Ranma." She yawned as she moved away from him and gave a friendly pat on the collar of his shirt. Then she made herself comfortable under her blanket and looked at him to find him staring at her every action. So she asked him from under the blanket,

"What?"

"What, what!"

"Ranma! Leave! I wanna sleep!"

Ranma's face flickered slightly as he cringed for some reason. He sighed heavily and started getting off from her bed. Then without a second word, he left her room..

Akane sighs with a heavy heart as she shuts down her eyes and pulled the blanket to cover her nose, then she began to think sadly,

'Oh Ranma, how I wish to tell you all the truth! How I wished to make you mine that day.. But, you are so dumb to even figure out the real reason behind it.." she bit her lower lip and suddenly the way he cringed before leaving her room came to her mind. He heart started throbbing with pain as she tightly clutched the blanket ..

'Why he looked so hurt? I don't understand... All he wanted was the nannichuan! Isn't it? He said that he didn't confess to me. That means, he doesn't love me. So why did he look so heartbroken when I mentioned about moving on with our lifes? What does he want from me anyway! How many times is he going to hurt me and mislead me? Can't he tell, she is tired now; and she can't.. She just can't go on like this anymore! But why did he look so broken, oh Kami! What will I do with that idiot?'

A single tear came out from her eye as she sniffed and bits her lower lips. Then rubbing her eyes with her fists, she opened her eyes to look at her window. But, she jerked up with shock when she found Ranma was sitting on the ground beside her. He laid his chin over his crossed arms over her bed as he kept staring at her with a suspicious look.

"WHAT THE!" Akane sits up again and puts her palm over her wildly beating heart as she said to him with greeted whisper tone,

"OH HONESTLY! Do you want to give me a heart attack or something?"

Ranma scowled at her and said,

"Don't change the subject, tomboy!"

Akane was taken aback by what he said as she asked him breathlessly,

"Huh! What subject!"

Ranma eyes flickered angrily as he asked her,

"You said you are gonna marry someone ELSE!"

"Huh!"

"Don't huh me, tomboy!"

"Hey, I didn't say anything like that..!"

"YOU DID SAY THAT!! And LISTEN to me TOMBOY, you are MY fiance, how could you EVEN think about marrying someone else and doing THAT WITH ANY OTHER GUY, YOU.. YOU.. PERVERT!"

"WHAT! Pervert me! What are you saying Ranma! Have you gone nuts?"

"YES! I have gone nuts and I am extremely angry at ya now!!" He said with a harsh whisper tone as he pouted at her..

"But, why? I don't understand!"

"Don't act so innocent here, tomboy! If YA marry another guy then… then.. then it means, you will allow him to stay with you and kiss you and .. and do other perverted things as well!" He said breathlessly as he pointed an accusing finger at her direction.

"Huh! Well of course I would!" She casually replied to him, shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly , "I can't stop my husband now, can I?"

Ranma growled in frustration as he said harshly, "HOW DARE YOU! HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT! YOU ARE MY FIANCE! DAMN IT!"

Akane pouted as well and said, "Look, I am not your ONLY FIANCE Mr.. "

"I don't remember having any more!"

"Oh right! What a joke! Maybe next time manage your other wanna be fiancés first so that I won't have to search for any OTHER husband for me.."

Akane playfully said as she batted her eyelashes at him with an innocent smile. But she stopped smiling when she looked at his state. Again he looked so heartbroken, he looked at her with such a sorrowful eyes that she forgot to be angry at him and instead she started to feel pity for him.

He is such a hopeless with his feelings, she knows that. But now was not the time to complain about that as she saw him struggling to stay awake. His eyes were heavy, red with tiredness, his body slumped, in one word he looked extremely exhausted.

Akane sighs defeated as she flopped down on her mattress, then she turned towards him and said while patting the side of her bed,

"Come here, Ranma.."

Understanding what she wanted, his eyes opened wide with surprise as he asked her in a panicky tone,

"WHY? WHAT YOU GONNA DO?"

Akane whined and started bumping the back of her head on her pillow. Then she again turned to face him and said,

"Look, I PROMISE, I won't do any perverted things with you.. Now stop wasting my time.. and come sleep beside me.. You look like you need some rest, Ranma!"

"Okayyy! But… why are ya so willing suddenly?"

"BECAUSE.."

"Hush Kane.."

"Because, I don't want to deal with a cranky Ranma again! You are looking like half the zombie right now!! YOU NEED SLEEP, BAKA! AND I WANT TO SLEEP TOO.."

Ranma growled loudly and without saying anything anymore, he hesitantly went beside her and lay down by her side. He made himself comfortable beside her, but tried his best to keep a gap in between them, not trusting his self control anymore . Then he carefully pulled the blanket over his nose and turned to face her and said,

"I am not a zombie! You are a sleeping beast!"

Akane also repeated the same action with the blanket as she looked at him and said,

"Here,I am helping you to sleep and this is how you are treating me! You really are a JERK!"

"Uncute…"

"Insensitive.."

"Flat chested.." Yawn..

"Good for nothing.."

"Sexless.."

"Pervert.." Yawn..

"T- T- tom.. tomboy.." Ranma said as his eyelids got heavier but he tried to keep them open.

Akane reached out and softly creases his hair to help him fall asleep. He finally closed his eyes as she smiled when she saw him drifting off to deep sleep . She kept creasing his hair as a warm smile adored her face. She closed her eyes too as she tiredly thought to herself,

'Baka…'

Akane again woke up in the middle of the night as she tiredly started thinking about what made her break her beauty slumber this time. She didn't have to wait for too long to find out the reason, because the said reason again snored loudly over her ear. She turned slightly and found that Ranma engulfed himself fully over her back as he hugged her somewhat possessively towards him.

Akane carefully tried to reach for their discarded blanket to cover themselves . After putting the cover over herself and Ranma, she sighs as the snoring suddenly went slow. Then she tried to untangle herself from his deadly grip and moves a bit to put a little space in between them. But her attempt went vital as he again pulled her more closer to his chest as he sleepily mumbled in her ear,

"You're not going nowhere! Ya are mine!.. This is my… my pl..place.. No one..el..se..my.. my place.." zzzzzz

SNORE..

Akane smiled warmly hearing his sleepy confession. She slowly laid her soft hand over his strong hand which was holding her belly tightly.She then sighs and made herself more comfortable with him and drifted off to sleep once again while mumbling to herself..

"My… baka!.."
