Hello all. I got chapter 3 up and running. I'll try and get the next one out in about a week if I can. It all depends on the timing. But anyways, please read and enjoy.

Akane felt very proud of herself. It had been a whole week and she hadn't one single daydream or wet dream of Ranma. It had taken a lot of willpower to keep herself distracted but she made it. To her it was a great accomplishment. Now if only she could do something about her habit of spying on him. That had proven to be much harder than she thought. She was still watching him and she didn't know how to stop herself. Ranma still had not taken notice and she secretly hoped that he never did. There was always that possibility that he had, but Akane dismissed it. She would never get caught. It was wishful thinking; she knew that sooner or later he was bound to find out even if she didn't say anything directly. With the arrival of summer, it was getting hotter and while Akane always looked forward to the summer season. This year she wasn't too pleased, summer meant bare skin and she wasn't sure if she could handle her fiancé like that. Currently Ranma was sprawled out on the floor complaining about the heat fanning himself. The girl had taken it upon herself to get him a cup of cold tea which he took in appreciation. In temporarily losing one habit, Akane had picked up another. She was pretty close to him. Whenever she had the opportunity, she would always try to get as close as she could without making it seem like she was invading his personal bubble.

It wasn't the heat of summer that was making her feel all warm inside. Even though he was sitting with his back to her she still was enjoying the view. Ranma felt her eyes on him and he turned his head around "Akane?" She almost squeaked in embarrassment. "Sorry! I'll get you more tea". Before Ranma could say anything, she hurried to get him another glass. That had been too close. If it wasn't one problem it was another. Akane had continued to ponder on everything and now that she'd had a little time to sort out her feelings, she was still refusing to admit that she was feeling desire for Ranma. That simply did not sit well with her, there had to be another word or words to describe it.

"Yo, Akane? You alright back there?"

"Sorry, I'm coming". Damn it, not again she was getting distracted way to easily. She handed him the glass "Here you go".

Ranma raised an eyebrow "I'm surprised you didn't spill it". She decided to ignore that little comment. He poked her forehead "What ya thinking about tomboy? Huh? Huh?" Akane smacked his hand away "Nothing, you weirdo. I'm just trying to be nice". He chugged down the tea. "Well thank you anyway". She wasn't making eye contact; her focus was on the floor. Ranma gently grasped and tilted her chin upwards so that she could face him directly. "What's wrong? Can't bother to look at me?". Normally she would've punched him, but she couldn't do it this time. She blushed "No, no. Not like that". They were staring into each other's eyes now. Ranma's hand still grasping her chin, neither of them seemed to mind though.

"Your such an oddball". She almost didn't hear him. Those blue eyes of his were simply too gorgeous. Akane could feel his hand move to caress her cheek. There faces were so close now. Either one of them could move just a few inches and their lips would make contact. Akane knew that Ranma wouldn't try anything, at least that's what she had always assumed. But now here she was wanting for him to make a move on her, take the initiative for a change.

"Akane sometimes you really can be…" Ranma couldn't finish his sentence. "Can be what?" somebody pinch her, this was too good to be true. Even though it was mild, it still felt like one of her daydreams. They were so unbelievably close, just a little more. "Well what I mean is you can be c-". Ranma never got to finish because at that moment a familiar kweee sound was heard and the next thing Akane knew her fiancé was facing the wrath of a very angry little black piglet. "P-chan, you've come back".

She lifted him into her arms "P-chan where on earth have you been. I've missed you".

Ranma was cussing under his breath "Yeah were have you been P-brain". Akane narrowed her eyes "Ranma don't tease him". Well so much for a romantic atmosphere. It had been going so well too.

"Ranma!" she shouted as she ran after him who in turn was running after Ryoga, aka P-chan. "Don't you bully him, leave P-chan alone!". He wasn't listening to her and of course that made her angry. It was a nothing but a miracle that Akane still had not figured out P-chan's true identity, all she saw right now was her idiot fiancé repeatedly punching and dodging her pet piggy and he needed to be punished. "Enough Ranma!" she hollered with all her might she landed a total knockout blow on him. P-chan jumped into her arms.

"You are simply the worst! Getting jealous over a sweet little pig". Akane huffed and Ranma scowled "Why should I get jealous over a stupid pig!". "Oh? So, you admit it". He scoffed "At least I'm not falling head over heels for some midget creature". She sent him flying with a kick "Shut up, you pervert!" She didn't really have the right to say that. Considering everything happening so far. But still he had deserved it. "Come P-chan let's hope he lands in a landfill or something". She carried him to her room and set him down on her desk. Akane's eyes softened "Stupid Ranma". She pulled out her chair and sat down resting her head in her folded arms. Before their argument she had almost been giving the chance to kiss him. She had been disappointed by the sudden change of atmosphere.

"P-chan I'm at a loss". "Kwee, kwee". She sighed "That Ranma, whatever shall I do". The feeling of wanting to kiss him was overwhelming her. It was all the progress she had made so far was all for not.

"Why can't he be a little more sincere?" she felt P-chan's snout poke her head softly "Ranma…why can't you be more romantic?" She didn't notice P-chan's expression but he was definitely shocked at what Akane had said.

Akane sighed once more as she picked up P-chan and set him on the floor near her bed. "I'm sorry P-chan. I've just been having problems lately". She watched as the piglet ran out the room "P-chan where are you going?" She would've gone to stop him but she didn't.

"Poor thing. Maybe he'll come back later".

Ranma meanwhile was being chased by an enraged Ryoga all around the neighborhood who had turned back into his human form. "I told you; I don't have a clue what you're talking about!". "Silence! I will not stand for your incompetent actions towards Akane!".

"What are you talking about dumbass?! Just mind your own business!" Ranma was quick to dodge the red umbrella hurled at him. Honestly, this happened all the time.

"Come and take it like a man!". Ryoga was right behind him, whatever conclusion he had thought up it definitely was irrelevant.

Growing tired of all of it, Ranma turned to face his rival giving him a few swift punches to the stomach. Once Ryoga had finally stopped moving he hoisted him up by his collar "Quite spouting nonsense! I haven't done anything to Akane, idiot". "You'd think that I'd believe your lies, you are disgraceful Ranma, an adversary for all women!". Another punch this time to the face "Shut up. I don't got time to deal with you".

"I heard the whole thing from Akane. A real man would never toy with a woman's feelings. I'll not have you hurt Akane!".

Ranma tsked in annoyance releasing Ryoga. "Yeah? So, what's your point? You think I'd care about any of it".

"It's your fault for not being more of a gentleman. I would never ignore Akane's feelings".

A scoff "Whatever. I'm done with this fight".

So, the chase resumed once more, Akane meanwhile was trying to get some of her homework done. They key word being trying. She still hadn't gotten over the fact that she had nearly kissed Ranma. A grumble of annoyance escaped her. Why was she now thinking about what his lips tasted like? She knew plenty of her friends often fantasized about their crushes, but this was different. Ranma was far from being a dashing knight on a white horse; yet time after time she knew that he showed his feelings through small things. The way he talked even the ordinary gestures and motions he made. They were things that only she would notice.

She chewed on her pencil lost in thought. Perhaps she had been going about this whole thing the wrong way. Maybe a different approach was needed to help her solve this. She had thought back to what Kasumi had said and it left plenty of clues for her to use. She still didn't believe that she was feeling desire, but whatever it was it was pretty darn close. There was no way she'd go back as ask for more help; she was already embarrassed enough as is. Akane continued to think, maybe she needed to be more direct with her problem. Maybe if she spent more time with Ranma, then eventually it would fade away by itself. At least it was worth a try; not like she had any other ideas for the time being.

"Perhaps I should try being a little nicer as well".

She couldn't think about it anymore when she heard a shrill cry "Akane! Let me see your bra".

"You shriveled up prune! Get back here!".

Happosai had returned from stealing underwear and no doubt was causing a ruckus in the house, Akane could hear Ranma chasing him all over the place. That perverted old geezer still had some fight in him yet. Nothing or nobody was safe whenever he was around.

Her eyebrow twitched in annoyance; they were so damn loud. She opened the door to her bed room intending to tell them to keep it down, when the unexpected happen. Akane saw Ranma running after Happosai about to give him one when the little old man, shot of the wall and used the speed and force to hit Ranma in the back causing him to fall forward, which in turn caused him to unintentionally land on Akane and both went crashing to the floor. "Ouch! That hurt. Ranma you-"she couldn't finish what she was about to say because she realized that not only was she lying on her back right in the middle of floor, but Ranma was on top of her, groaning as he recovered from the fall. Akane's face turned scarlet. She could feel his chest pressed against hers, his hot breath on her cheeks. It took him a minute to comprehend the position that they were in and his face turned the same shade as hers. Akane felt like she was suddenly on cloud nine. This wasn't a daydream, Ranma was actually on top of her. Her dream came back to her again and all Akane could do was stare at her fiancé's face in shock and disbelieve.

"Um-I-I-well…" he was stammering trying to get the words out to no avail. He was expecting her to reach for a mallet or something but Akane didn't move a muscle.

Ranma quickly scurried away from her, and tried to explain that it was all an accident, but Akane couldn't hear him. She was still lying on the floor caught in reminisce of her dream. It had felt so good to have his body against hers. His face had been so close, and again they would've ended up kissing if he had tilted down some. She wanted to experience again, she wanted to scream his name, give herself entirely too him.

"Akane? Are you alright?". Ranma nervously offered out his hand, and slowly Akane took it so he could help her sit up. "I didn't mean to, well you know". Ranma was still expecting her to lash out at him, both of them still had red faces. "D-Don't worry about i-it". "Huh?" Akane looked away "I k-know it was a-an a-accident". Ranma was a bit shocked, normally Akane would let her rage get the better of her and proceed to try and kill him, but instead she just let it go. Ranma knew at once that something was up. Why else would Akane be so forgiving towards him. There was an awkward silence between them till Ranma eventually stood up and cleared his throat. "I'll leave now". He froze before he could take a step and Akane turned her head to the door, the entire family including Happosai was staring at them.

"Ranma! You missed your chance again! Always strike while the iron is hot!".

There were tears streaming down Tendo Soun's face "Akane! Your making great progress I'm so proud of you two".

"Oh Ranma, you're such a tease. I guess my ways are finally rubbing off on you".

There were not enough words to describe how embarrassed they were. Akane especially was feeling shameful. Of course, her crazy family would be right there to witness the whole thing and take it the wrong way; the story of her life. "Tendo-kun looks like we'll have a wedding sooner then we think".

"Oh, what a happy day. All my dreams are about to come true".

Akane couldn't take it anymore. "Everyone get out!" she screamed. She grabbed Ranma by his shirt and threw him out her room before shooing the rest of her family out. Happosai was trying to break away from Ranma's grasp "Akane let me comfort you. "Shut up old man! This is all your fault!".

She slammed the door to her room closed and locked it. Her face was still burning. Damn it all to the darkest pits of hell. Everything was going so wrong. Akane refused to come out of her room for the rest of the day, not even to go eat. Her embarrassment was too much to handle, add that with her current issues and she was a complete mess.

Ranma had wanted to apologize again, but he feared that it would fall on death ears. Akane could be violent when she was upset so he decided for his own sake to give her some space. He was also still embarrassed about earlier and his blasted father had not stopped teasing him about it. It was only when he threw him into the pond to change him into a panda that he finally had shut it and a few moments of peace and quiet. Well, almost. There was also Happosai who once again was a thorn in his side. Poor Ranma had spent the remainder of the day being harassed and tormented by basically everyone who knew him. Ryoga was still mad about their fight earlier and Kuno just so happened to appear randomly demanding that he surrender Akane to him. Needless to say, it was a shitty day for Ranma.

The only time he could finally catch his breath was when Kasumi pulled him aside to tend to his injuries. She had been meaning to talk to him anyway.

"Ranma-kun there's something important I must tell you". She spoke calmly as she wiped the dirt off his face and put on some bandages.

"What's up?" He hissed a little as Kasumi applied medicine to a cut.

Kasumi knew that she needed to be careful with what she said, she knew that Akane wouldn't like it if she got rubbed the wrong way and neither would Ranma. It would only cause more conflict. Kasumi kept perfectly calm as she spoke.

"Ranma-kun has Akane's behavior seemed a little different?"

"Wha?" Now that she mentioned it, Akane had been acting weird for a while. "Come to think of it, she's been way more submissive and less tomboyish".

"I see. Ranma-kun please don't think any less of Akane. She's just going through something hard right now".

His face perked "Like what?" Kasumi didn't answer "Akane is just depressed is all, sometimes women go through phases where they needed a little tenderness is all".

Ranma was no genius when it came to romance. He didn't have the slightest clue what Kasumi was talking about. Nonetheless he knew that he should probably do something. Even though he'd never admit it, seeing Akane so upset made him feel guilty and he wanted to make things right.

"Tenderness? Like giving her flowers or chocolates?" Kasumi smiled gently "Not even that. Just let her know that you're there for her. Even small things can make a difference and lighten the mood".

He was even more lost than he already was. Ranma didn't have any experience with women to begin with. So the fact that Kasumi was asking him to be more tender to Akane was downright bizarre. Hell, he couldn't even get his own feelings sorted out properly, so how was he supposed to make a girl feel better without getting hit on or destroyed? There was plenty of girls that all claimed they were in love with him, but not once had he ever returned their feelings. He chuckled nervously "Kasumi I think you might be asking me to do the impossible".

She applied the last band-aid "Just think about it Ranma-kun. I'm sure that Akane would appreciate it if you did".

So there he was left alone to ponder over what Kasumi had said. If the older sister was asking him to do this, then he had to comply. What did girls like? He scratched his head in thought. Then an idea came to him, he didn't know if would work, but it was worth a shot. He was quickly on his feet and out the front door.

Akane was still in her room squeezing the life out of her pillow. She ignored her stomach's growls of hunger. Tears were forming in her eyes. She wanted to pin all the blame on Ranma, but she couldn't do that. It wasn't his fault to begin with. Akane was aware that it had been an accident, but it had been her own fault for not doing something sooner. She should've guessed that they'd have an audience watching them, that was normally the case when these things happened. Akane felt like she back to square one again. The word desire popped into her head again. She still didn't believe that it was the right word to describe her feelings. She didn't know what to think anymore. Nothing was making sense. Akane would've continued to wallow in misery had a tap at her window caught her attention. She looked over and noticed that it was dark outside, she had lost track of the time. Wiping away her tears, she walked over and opened her window to see her fiancé holding small boxes of stuff.

"Ranma…" she didn't know what to say.

"Yo. I thought you'd be hungry. You haven't eaten all day". As if on cue her stomach announced its presence as she blushed. "I got you some sweets". He handed her boxes of dumplings, chocolates, candy and fruits. Akane was stunned, she hadn't expected him to do something so considerate for her. It was very sweet of him. "You got this for me?" He rubbed his arm awkwardly "I didn't know what you'd like so I got a bunch of different things and…" he was blushing "Anyway sorry again about earlier". He would've left had Akane not reached out to grab his hand "Akane?" she was still blushing "Please don't go. I-I mean you c-can stay". She didn't know what she was saying, but she didn't want her fiancé to leave her. "I can't possibly eat a-all of this by myself". There was silence but he soon slipped into her room and settled on the floor. Akane wasn't sure what had come over her, but having Ranma with her made her feel a lot better. They both ate in silence and Akane felt more like her old self again after some food.

"That was good". She nodded in agreement. Ranma then stood up "See ya". Once again, he was stopped by his fiancée. "What are you doing?" Akane was holding his hand "Ranma c-could you s-stay with m-me longer?" his eyebrows rose in surprise "What?" Akane couldn't look him in the eye, for some odd reason she didn't want to be alone. She just wanted Ranma to stay with her even for a little while.

"Akane you're not think about…" She blushed deeply "No, you idiot". 'Yes, I am'. She cursed that small annoying voice in her mind, always striking when you're the most vulnerable. Awkwardly Ranma sat down beside her and for what felt like eons there was nothing but silence. She saw him start to fidget. Not like she could blame him. It was her who finally shattered the icy silence "Ranma?" he almost had a heart attack the sound of her voice scared him so much, "What are you doing, idiot?! Don't go scaring me-"he couldn't finish his sentence, the look in his fiancée's eyes was so gentle. His anger evaporated immediately and he twirled his braid in embarrassment.

Akane was thankful that the dark was hiding her blush. "C-could you come closer?" Ranma was staring at her like she had grown a freakish second head. He too was thankful that his blush was hidden. "Akane? Are you sure you're, ok? You're acting really weird". She chose to ignore that, but Ranma did have a point. She was surprised at herself for being so bold all of a sudden and her heart picked up its pace. Akane didn't know what she was doing, but she wanted to be closer to Ranma.

Instead of answering him, she simply scooted towards him till she was resting her head on his shoulder. Ranma's face was now so red, it was a miracle that blood had not started gushing from his ears. "A-Akane?" his voice was timid. He didn't have a clue what her motive was. 'I guess she is pretty cute after all'. He thought to himself. He made a weird sound when his fiancée snuggled closer into him and Ranma honestly thought that he was dreaming or something; this couldn't be happening.

Akane could feel heat spread throughout her chest. Those warm feelings were flooding her once again and the thought of his body on top of hers from earlier was turning her on. She bit her lower lip not sure why she was this close, but he hadn't pushed her away so she took that as a good sign. Ranma squeaked in disbelieve when Akane put her hand over his heart. She could feel it pounding madly. She couldn't help but wonder if her heart was beating just as fast. "Ranma are you alright?" He didn't answer her, he feared that he'd say something foolish and he'd make her mad. Akane's hand made its way from his chest to his face and she gently turned it so she could stare into his eyes. Even in the dark under the moonlight his eyes were crystal clear to her. The feeling of heat was now all over her entire body and she wanted more.

"Ranma have you e-ever thought about l-love?" it was a question she never thought she'd ask but she wanted to hear his answer. Ranma was gasping trying to find his composure, please somebody wake him up from this dream. It was too real.

"I-I-I do". She almost didn't hear him. "When you think about love, do you think of me?" Why the fuck was she asking him something so personal? It wasn't her business to pry into his love life, but she simply had to know. Ramna couldn't get the words out this time so instead he simply nodded. All this time and his eyes never left hers. Akane heart skipped a beat. That warm feeling was starting to overwhelm her again. She wanted to push him some more, to hear him say those three little words that they both knew the other had been dying to say. Instead Akane did something so daring that Ranma would never forget it for the rest of his life, his fiancée had sealed the distance between them and pressed her lips against his. He was in total shock. He couldn't move even if he wanted too. He felt her wrap her arms around his neck as she moved closer. Holly hell! This was actually happening! He gave into her kiss and closed his eyes wrapping her arms around her waist to keep her pressed against him.

They only broke apart to breath and Akane was certain that she was on heaven's doorstep by now. Gods, that had felt amazing. She licked her lips, now that she had tasted him, she couldn't get enough of him and she went back in for another kiss.

Ranma's mind was elsewhere as he kissed his fiancée again. He never knew that she'd taste so good. This time their tongues got acquainted with each other.

Akane felt like her body was on fire. The feeling of Ranma's kiss was incredible, she didn't want to ever stop. Her urges were growing and she wanted so much more. All her dreams and desires suddenly felt like they were coming true. His strong arms held her close, and she was now straddling him. Their kiss getting more passionate as the minutes went by. Akane slipped one of her hands underneath his shirt to feel his abs and he moaned into her mouth. If he was responding so quickly now, she could only wonder what he'd do when it was the actual thing. Heat pooled between her legs and she felt something down below poking her inner thighs. At this point, Akane wanted only to have Ranma make love to her. She would beg him if she had too, she couldn't stop herself even if she wanted too. She thought that he'd given in her to wish when she felt his hands grasp her arms to pull back from the kiss. Both of them were breathing heavily. Ranma closed his eyes trying to regain himself before gently pushing Akane off his lap.

"What's wrong?" She was confused, had he not enjoyed it?

"Akane" his voice was husky "We can't". Her heart was still pounding "Why?" Ranma sighed "This is too fast".

Ramna had used every ounce of willpower he could muster to stop himself from ripping off her clothes right then and there. He hadn't expected their first kiss to be so delicious but he knew that if they went any further tonight, one of them was going to regret it. He needed to leave now before it was too late.

"I don't want you to go". She meant what she said. Akane didn't want to lose that wonderful feeling that was clinging to her. But she knew that he was right. It had all happened so fast that she hadn't fully comprehend what they had just done. Ranma pulled her close again, letting her rest against his chest.

"Akane, it's for the best". He hadn't liked saying that but he knew that he had too. Only now that he had her, he didn't want to let go.

"Ranma" her voice sounded so lonely and he almost gave into her plea. If he didn't leave now, he wouldn't be able to stop himself. He gave her one final kiss "Goodnight Akane". That was all he said before making his exit out her window. The cool breeze of the night air made her shiver.

Akane was in a daze. Part of her was overjoyed that she had gotten a little taste of what she had been craving for so long. The other more rational side of her was going crazy. In the heat of the moment, she had forgotten her senses completely. She hadn't been able to stop herself or even think about the consequences it might bring. Akane didn't care anymore. She was too far gone to give a shit. Her love for Ranma was real and true and now with their first kiss, it only confirmed her feelings more.

Akane didn't think that desire was the right word, not anymore. Ramna had awoken something within her that felt like a wild beast that couldn't be tamed. She stood up from the floor and looked out her window to the moon. All of a sudden, she knew exactly what that feeling was. She should've realized it weeks ago and deep in her heart she probably knew what it was but never wanted to admit it to herself. It was like a craving that she hadn't satisfied just yet and it was only going to grow bigger and bigger until she did. This feeling Akane had gained was lust.

All done for now.

I'm not planning to make this a super long story, but I'll try and give it some good lengthy chapters. Probably no more than ten at most.

Please review if possible. I will back with more soon.
