A/N: First of all, I want to apologize to you for the delay. I had a bad writer's block; and this time it was very bad ! Thankfully, I am back again.
I also want to apologize to you, because I have decided not to post the summary of this fic. I thought if I post a summarised version of this fic, it might help my readers. But after discussing this matter with my friends, I have decided that I won't post any summary, because it might confuse some of my readers.
So here it is, after a long wait. The new chapter of "A Lost Prince"; I hope you like it :)..
The music that once was the cause of his enjoyment, started to annoy him so badly. His eyes frantically began to search for Akane, but he couldn't find her anywhere! He had been looking for her for quite a long time and he started to get worried about her safety. Thoughts like, why he agreed to bring her here and why he left her alone, started to make his brain fuzzy with guilt.
He began to sweat in the air-conditioned room, and his nervous system broke down completely. With no trace of her, he paused his searching and began to look back and forth by roaming his eyes everywhere. Then suddenly he noticed a crowd; at first sight he thought of ignoring it, but something clicked in his mind. He focused his attention on the crowd again and noticed that it was a crowd of excited boys.
As he noticed that, he rushed towards the crowd and tried to break through the crowd to see what the gathering was for.
And the scene that welcomed him shocked his whole being and made him a part of the crowd as well. A hard push from a person behind helped him to gain back his senses; his eyes wide open in fear as he whispered hoarsely…
"Oh Kami…… No…!"
Akane turned, swaying her hips seductively, her eyes closed, and a beautiful sexy smile adored her lips. With no jacket on, her silky back was visible to every giddy eye as the small strap on her back was doing almost nothing to hide her skin. Her movements drove the crowd crazy as they whistled and hollowed at the same time. Akane kept dancing by herself with the rhythm, she suddenly moved and turned towards him, her eyes half-led, and the way she moved he understood that she still hadn't seen him standing in the crowd. His mouth got wide open when he noticed the amount of skin she was showing to all these hungry wolves.
"HEY! STAND IN LINE, MAN!!"
The screams from behind him made him burn with rage, and then he realized what was actually happening there. All the guys were lined up there waiting for their turn to dance with Akane. He hastily turned and glared at the scene and saw her moving step by step with an unknown guy who was trying to match her steps.
She danced gracefully, looking elegant as never seen before. She was okay with the way the guy was dancing with her at first, but when that guy dared to get close to her and touch her; she angrily looked at that guy and kicked him on his guts without any second thought, which earned her a huge round of applause from the crowd.
After that, another guy tried his luck with her, resulting in the same fate.. One after one, the crowd went crazy to get a chance to get close to the woman who was untouchable.
Ranma was burning with jealousy. The crowd almost squeezed him and made it impossible for him to move forward and get closer to Akane. He yelled her name numerous time; but she couldn't listen because of the music mixed with the loud noises of the crowd. Then suddenly he noticed a guy, who almost got successful on groping Akane from behind. That guy left injured afterwards; but that incident really ticked him off this time.
Ranma growled angrily; and by using all his strength this time, he managed to break the crowd as he almost tripped towards her. He somehow managed not to fall to the ground; he stood up quickly and roughly grabbed her arm and turned her to face him.
At first Akane got offended, her body got stiff and in a swift motion she blindly tried to punch him hard on the face. But he quickly caught her balled hand and pulled her towards his body.
The crowd cheered up and started celebrating on their own way. Akane blinked her eyes lazily and looked at him. It took her time to realize who that person was. She wanted to kick his guts the next time, but the familiar smell and the ocean-blue eyes kept her captive.
She knows this guy… He is very close to her.. He is her…
"Ranma?"
She whispered with a sultry lazy smile on her face…
In return, Ranma hugged her protectively, trying to hide her bare back with his strong arms. He gave a long breath and said in an urgent tone,
"Akane! I am here.. Don't worry.."
Akane moaned and circled her arms around his neck and whispered softly,
"Awww Ranma, why did you leave me? I missed you.."
"I am sorry.." Ranma whispered back and looked at her face, still holding her back protectively. His heart was still beating from the uneasiness he felt when he saw her dancing with other guys. He knows this nightmare would haunt him for days now. But he had to hold his heart now and take care of her. He gulped and rested his head on her forehead and closed his eyes to think properly. After a moment, he sighed deeply and looked at her with a serious expression as he said,
"Kane, I know its difficult for you, but you have to listen to me carefully. We are in a big trouble! We have to.."
He couldn't finish his sentence as he got roughly interrupted by her. His eyes got wide open with surprise, and his breath caught in his throat, he was ready to pass out anytime, as suddenly,his senses got filled with the taste of her.
Akane couldn't control herself anymore; it was like she had lost all control over herself. She didn't know what was happening to her; and what had possessed her, all she knew was she needed to taste this man in front of her and give him something that she had never given to anyone before. At first she was nervous; but she gave in to her need and captured his moving mouth. She lost herself immediately as she gave a satisfactory sigh and deepened the kiss more. His taste filled her senses, she moaned in complete satisfaction and tightly hugged him with all her might.
Ranma's body was shaking with excitement. He almost gave in to his need to kiss her back. The back of his mind was yelling at him to forget about everything and accept her invitation. But his heart was not allowing him to take advantage of her situation.
It became so hard for him to concentrate at anything at this rate. Her kiss was blowing his senses fully. He had been kissed before; but not this way. He never felt his thighs glittering like jelly when he was kissed before! This feeling was so new to him and so tempting….
'How come she is so good at it? Has she kissed someone before?' He thought to himself and that thought alone made him furious. He growled angrily and pulled her tightly to him. He gave her a slight bite on her lip, making her react wildly as became more bold while kissing him. But at that moment he had decided to end it then.
It took all his willpower and strength to break the kiss. She opened her eyes disappointedly and whined up at him. She moaned and tried to capture his lips again, but he growled and carried her up by putting her body halfway on his shoulder.
The crowd started wowing and booing at the same time. He cared leas about them. He protectively wrapped his arms around her exposed thighs and quickly walked past the crowded place. Akane kept whining like a baby and throwing tantrums to put her down. But he didn't listen to her and kept walking by carrying her on his shoulder.
"Put me down!! Put me down!!! This is not fair!"
"Kane please!" Ranma started with a hard tone. Her taste was still fresh in his mouth; he gulped hard and said, "We have to leave! You are not alright!"
"Nooouu!! I don't wanna leave now! Put me down!! I wanna dance more!!"
She kept throwing punches on his back and moving her legs to make him listen to her. It became hard for Ranma to handle her like that, he somehow manged to get out from that building and walked out on the road. He knows that maybe half of the neighbourhood here knows her and if he carries her like this, they might get the wrong idea! Plus, if any of this neighborhood sees her at her current state, they would assume bad rumours about her. He decided to talk to her before carrying her home! He have to get through her foggy brain. He knows that Akane was not in any state to listen to him now; the poor girl just got drunk without knowing about it. He has to take responsibility for her and he will gladly take it. But now all he needed to do was talk to her and make her calm down first. He searched for a quiet place where he would drop her and talk to her. Soon he found one, and he went there carrying her on his back.
Upon reaching that place, he carefully dropped her on the ground and held her hands to make her stop punching him as he said with a urgant tone,
"Akane please!! Stop it!"
"No!! I want to go back in there!!" Saying that, she tried to walk past him to go back to that building; wobbling a bit, but he stopped her by grabbing her hand and pulling her towards him.
He held her shoulders tightly and begged her saying,
"Please Kane.. I beg you, please listen to me.."
His tone made her stop. She huffed as she pushed his hands away from her. She looked away from him and said,
"I hate you! I won't talk to you..!"
"Huh?" Ranma was confused to hear that. He noticed that she was having trouble standing up straight. He tried to hold her to steady her, but she again pushed his hands away from her. He sighed defeatedly as he asked her, "I am so sorry, but what did I do to you? Why are you angry at me?"
To his horror, she started sniffing miserably and started crying like a baby. He got panicked seeing her like that; he went closer to her and tried to touch her again, but she again pushed him away. That made him worried as he asked her in concern filled tone,
"Akane! Please don't cry! I am sorry for this all messed up situation! They have punched the drink and now you are drunk! I don't know what to do with you anymore! I need your help! Please help me!! I am so confused right now! And if you keep crying now then.."
"I HATE YOU!!" She said between her sobs, as if she hadn't heard any of the words that Ranma told her.
Ranma took a deep breath and closed his eyes to compose himself. Her soft cries were pricing his already wounded heart. He opened his eyes and tried to approach her again. This time he laid his hand on her cheeks and made her look at him. She looked at him, still crying as she pouted up at him. She looked so cute and innocent at that moment that he couldn't control himself and laughed softly while shaking his head, which made her growl angrily as she asked him,
"What are you laughing at?"
Ranma looked at her and smiled broadly and whispered to her,
"You.."
"What! But why!" Akane asked, pouting.
He smirked humorlessly, his hands still on her soft cheek as he said,
"We are in the middle of the end of the world; and you are still looking cute as hell.."
Akane moaned and looked away from him and said pouting,
"You are lying! You always lie! You are a liar!!" She said while sobbing softly.
That comment of hers hits him very close. He couldn't even defend himself to her about it. In reality, she found out about his real self in her drunk state. But she could never guess how much he lied to her when she would come back to her full senses. He sighed tiredly and made her look at him again and asked her tiredly,
"What have I done to deserve this punishment?"
Akane stopped crying and looked at him. She couldn't even open her eyes properly. Still she looked at him hard and said with a shaky tone,
"I kissed you… But you didn't kiss me back!" She started sobbing again as she said while breaking down into tears, "Does that mean I am not good enough for you! Do you hate me that much!? You are so horrible! I hate you….!" And she started sobbing again.
Ranma's mouth opened widely with surprise as he heard what she said. Her sobbing brought him back to his senses; he shook his head violently as he said to her,
"Are you crazy?! Do ya have any idea how hard it was for me to restrain myself!!" Ranma took a deep breath, he grabbed her face and pulled her closer to his face. His breath washed over her face as she looked up at him, as he said with a serious tone; "I hate it, Kane! I really really hate it..! I wish you weren't drunk right now! Or else.."
"Or else?" She asked with a whispered tone, looking at him expectantly.
Ranma smirked as he heatedly looked at her and said, "You don't have any idea what you are doing to me, woman! Please don't take any more tests of my patience.." He then slowly moved closer and gave a soft kiss on her forehead. She instantly melted by his touch; she moaned and rested her head over his chest, hugging him lazily. Ranma sighed and hugged her back as they kept holding each other for a few silent moments. After some time, he said to her,
"Akane, now listen.."
"Ummhmm.." She whimpered lazily.
"I need ta take ya to my house now.."
"Hmmmm.. But I won't go with you! You are so mean; you didn't kiss me back.."
"Akane listen.."
"Nop!" She said and she broke the hug. She pushed him slightly and almost fell on the ground if Ranma didn't reach her on time. She stood up with his help as she said,
"I won't go with you if you won't return my kiss! Or I will go back there and dance more.."
As she said that, she started moving towards the hall again. Ranma hastily grabbed her arm and stopped her from going there. She snorted and started protesting again. Ranma had no choice left then. He pulled her tightly towards him as he whispered to her,
"People are looking at us, Kane; I can't kiss you here.. Maybe when we are back at home then.." he asked pleadingly, hoping she would give in.
Akane chuckled at him, she circles her arms around his neck and said in a singsong tone,
"Aww you are such a shy baby! No problem..! Let's go back to your place then."
Ranma sighed with relief. He thanked the Kami and started making plan how to take her to his home. He looked at her and told her,
"Hey, please give me a minute, okay. I will just quickly make a call then.."
"But I am tired, Ranma!!" She complained and Yawned at that same moment. And to prove her point, she intentionally landed on his chest again and pretended to fall asleep.
Ranma caught her and wrapped his arms around her. He shook his head helplessly and started looking for any place where he could make her sit for a while. He found a bench nearby; he almost had to drag her the same leaning way to that bench. He made her sit on the bench; but she didn't lended on the bench head, instead she bent forward and laid her head over Ranma's belly loosely.
"Umm.. Ranma.." Akane started with a painful tone, "I am not feeling that well! Owww.. But why I am not feeling good!"
Ranma rubbed her back slightly, suddenly he became more concerned for her health. He assumed that it might be the first time she had gotten drunk like this; and without knowing about it as well! His train of thought broke as she moaned again,
"Ranma.. I think.. I am going to.. faint.."
Ranma got panicked and rubbed her back more forcefully, as he said in a panicked tone,
"Please Kane, hang in there! Keep your eyes open, please.."
Akane weakly nodded her head over his belly and moaned as she started to feel nauseous. Ranma laid his one hand over her back and with his other hand , he quickly pulled out his cell phone and called Ukyo.
At Ukyo's house
"What would I do without you, my dear!" Mr Kuonji said with a big smile as Ukyo handed him the file that he needed.
Ukyo gave him a worn-out smile and said,
"It's okay, father. I am glad I could help!"
He checked his wristwatch and asked her,
"Are you planning to go out anymore?"
Ukyo laid her hand on the back of her neck stretched a bit and said,
"No Father! I am actually tired! I will tuck in now."
"Did you have dinner, honey?"
Ukyo moaned and said while yawning;
"No, father. But I am full.."
"Alright, honey! Our guests are still here. I think they won't leave tonight." He said grumbling.
Ukyo giggled hearing that and said,
"They can stay here as long as they don't bother me!"
Her father bid goodnight to her and went downstairs again. Ukyo was about to go to the washroom to take a quick bath; but then suddenly her phone started ringing. She noticed it was Ranma, she smiled and picked up the call;
"Hey Ranchan! Whatsapp! Did you drop Akane to her home yet?" Ukyo got confused when she heard a woman's moan coming from the other side of the call. Then she heard Ranma's panicked voice as he was talking to Akane,
"Kane, hold on please! Everything will be alright.. Ucchan! Ucchan, are you there?"
"Ranchan! What happened? Is Akane alright?"
"No.. No.. No!! Everything is so damn messed up right now! I don't know what to do!!"
"Hey hey hey calm down, honey! Tell me what happened.."
Still rubbing Akane's back with his one hand , he held the phone with his other hand; he told Ucchan everything that happened………
Ukyo almost dropped her phone in shock as she asked him in a panicked tone.
"WHAT!! AKANE IS DRUNK!! OH KAMI!! WHAT WILL WE DO NOW!!"
"I DON'T KNOW, OKAY!! BUT YA BETTER DO SOMETHING FAST!!"
Ukyo paced uncontrollably as she said,
"ALRIGHT! Alright; let me think, let me think.."
"Ucchan, Akane is not feeling well! I am bringing her to your house now.."
"TO MY PLACE!! ARE YOU CRAZY!! My father's guests are still here, Ranchan! You CAN'T bring her here!!"
"THEN WHAT WOULD I DO!!"
"Ummm.. Take her to your place!" Ukyo suggested.
Ranma gulped hard and said,
"No way!! Mr Hiro is not there. I will be all alone with her! Trust me, this won't be a good idea right now!"
Ukyo was out of plans as she asked him hesitatingly, "So shall we send her back to her home?!"
"Don't even think about it, Ucchan!"
"Oh God!! What am I saying!" Ukyo sighed and said, "Look Ranchan, listen carefully, take her to your apartment. In her current state we can't send her back to her house. I will make a quick call to the Tendo house and make some excuses for her. In the meantime, you take her to your apartment and I promise you I will reach your apartment as fast as I can.."
Ranma gave a long tired sigh and said, "I almost forgot about her family! I am so scared, Ucchan! I think I can't think clearly anymore.."
"Aww Ranchan! Don't worry, honey.. Everything will be fine. Now you take her to your apartment and I will be there soon.."
Ranma nodded to himself, "Alright then..Come soon please.."
They hang up the call as Ukyo quickly calls at the Tendo residence. She hung up the call immediately when she heard Akio's voice there, suddenly feeling way too nervous to talk to him. She took a deep breath as suddenly a plan came to her mind.
At first, she switched off her cell phone completely. She then quickly ran downstairs and called Akio's cell phone from her landline number.
"Hello?"
"Oh hii Akio! How are you today?" Ukyo asked , laughing nervously.
"Huh?" Akio checked the number and saw Mr Kuonji's house written on the screen. He held the phone again and said, "Ukyo?"
"Yes! Me! Haha!"
He blinked in confusion then said,
"Yes thanks , I am fine. Where is Akane by the way.. Tell her to wait, I am on my way to get her.."
"NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!! You don't need to come here, Akio! That's why I called you actually.."
"Why? What happened?"
"Akane had a sudden headache and she is taking rest here."
"What!"
"Do-Don't worry, please! Dad gave her medicine and now she is sleeping. So I will bring her tomorrow, okay?"
Akio grumbled and said,
"Please give her the phone. I want to talk to her.."
"Oh, about that.! My phone is not working, that's why I am calling from my landline. She is sleeping in my room upstairs, I don't want to disturb her; so… Don't worry, I will take care of her.." She facked a yawn and said, "I am feeling so sleepy too! I will see you tomorrow then, bye!! Good night!!"
She hung up the call hastily and gave a big sigh of relief. Then without any further delay, she left her house to go to Ranma's house.
Akio looked at his phone with extreme confusion and anger. Suddenly, Kasumi came behind him and asked,
"Oh my, why is Akane taking so long?"
Akio turned to look at her and said,
"Ukyo just called me and told me that Akane had a headache and she would stay at their house tonight.."
"Oh! My poor Akane! I hope she will get better soon..!"
Kasumi noticed how tenced Akio became. She went behind him and laid her hand over his shoulder and said,
"She is with the Kuonji family ! Don't worry too much! She will be just fine…"
Akio turned to look at her, his expression unreadable as he slowly nodded his head.
Akane moaned and shook her head over Ranma's belly. He looked down at her and noticed how weak she had become. He sat on his knees and looked at her and said,
"Akane, we need to go home now. Can you walk!"
Akane shivered and slowly nodded her head. She tried to stand up to walk, but as soon as she stood up she fumbled forward. Ranma caught her on time and made her sit back on the bench again. She moaned in distress and closed her eyes as she whispered weakly,
"Awww.. I think... I think I am dying, Ranma.."
Ranma got worried for her as he said, "Don't ya dare say that, silly! You are feeling this way because you are drunk, Kane! You will be just fine!"
Akane sniffed and shook her head and said,
"I don't think I can make it, Ranma! Say my bye to Oneechan.."
Ranma sighed tiredly, his heart beating hard on his chest as he said,
"Stop saying that! You are going to be just fine.."
Just then, suddenly out of nowhere, Rain started to fall from the sky.
Ranma couldn't believe his luck, he looked up at the sky with complete disbelief as he whispered to the open sky,
"Why! Kami... why!"
His surprise got even bigger when suddenly he heard Akane giggling softly. He quickly looked at her and found her face upright as she let the rain wash over her face. She had a bright smile on her face, her eyes closed pleasantly as she spread her arms like a feather. The rain started heavily, making them damp in an instant. Ranma lost himself fully looking at her beauty. He knows, right now he should not entertain his playful mind by gawking at her wet body. But he couldn't control himself as he gave himself some moments to silently enjoy the view of her getting wet.
He wished she still had her jacket with her. That would have helped him to get a hold on his raging hormones fast. But his luck was not at his side tonight; he have to go through this pleasent torture alone. .. Suddenly, she stood up, which made him lose his balance as he fell on the ground. She didn't give it much thought as she ran little far from him and started dancing under the heavy rain as she squalled cheerfully and twirled like a kid.
Ranma smirked seeing her like that. His worry is gone for the time being. He back-brushed his hair with his hand as he comfortably sat on the ground and laid his arms back and landed backwards a bit as he enjoyed her show. The rainwater was cascading from her body like melted cream. Her face and body had a different shade of glow in it; which made it hard for him to look away and not admire her beauty.. He shook his head after some time as he called out to her,
"Yo! How come ya suddenly feeling so alive, Kane?"
Akane heard him clearly; she giggled hard and turned towards him. She ran towards him and offered him her hand. He took it and she pulled him up to a standing position. She instantly wrapped her arms around his neck and said cheerfully,
"Because you make my life so beautiful, Ranma!"
Her statement melted his heart immediately. Then he heard her giggling more as she urged him to twirl along with her.
"Kane? What.."
"Umm.. Now don't be a bore, Ranma! Let's Dance together .."
Ranma shook his head and sighed defeatedly as he decided to give his tired mind some rest. He listened to her and started a slow dance with her. She shifted her hand from around his neck and held both his hands. They laughed as they pulled each other by pulling their hands and going backwards again. At one point, Ranma twirled her by holding her one hand up. She laughed cheerfully and urged him to do that again.. He laughed hard and did as he asked him to.. Then at the last twirl he made her bent slightly as she quickly circled her arms around his neck again. She kept giggling as he stayed at the same position for quite a long time. Ranma couldn't take his eyes off her; she looked so unbelievably elegant at that moment. He wanted to steal her from this world and take her with him to somewhere where no one would find him..
At that exact moment, suddenly the rain stopped. Akane whined and pouted up at the sky. Ranma smiled and slowly pulled her up in a standing position. Akane moaned loudly and said,
"Aww!! That's not fair!! I wanna dance more.." She said while shivering with cold.
Ranma shook his head and said,
"Maybe later.. We need to hurry home now, Kane! It's pretty late now.."
Akane looked at him pouting and asked,
"First promise me, you will dance with me like this again!"
Ranma sighed and nodded his head, "That would be an honor for me princess! But you have to promise me that you won't be drunk like this the next time.."
Akane nodded hastily and said, "Pinky promise!! Oh no ..achoo!" She quickly turned aside and started sneezing three four time..
Ranma started unbuttoning his black plain shirt immediately. He quickly dropped the shirt over her head as she looked at him, surprised..
"You already caught a cold, Akane. Let's hurry home.."
Akane silently nodded her head. And before she knew what was happening; Ranma secured his shirt protectively over her face to hide her face from everyone, because he didn't want any neighbour to recognize he was carrying Akane and carried her to the bridal style...
Ranma was wearing his black tank top as he secured her body protectively against his chest and started walking. Akane blushed madly as her face almost got squished to his hard chest. His smell was making her feel a different kind of feeling that she never felt before.She could feel Butterflies dancing on her belly as she took a sniff from his wet shirt. She moaned unconsciously as she closed her eyes and tried to enjoy the ride back home.
On the other hand, Ranma was having trouble carrying her like that. He thought it would be easy for him if he carries her and take her home; but now he was regretting his action. It's not because she was heavy or anything; to him, her weight was feeling like a feather. But the way her wet body was pressed against him and the way she grabbed his tank straps with her balled hands, and the way she just moaned loudly…
'Oh Kami! This would be a long ride of torture!!' He thought uneasily as he kept walking with her in his arms…
"Oh my! Where are you going at this late hour, Akio?"
He turned to face Kasumi from the doorway and said,
"Don't worry about me, Oneechan! You go and sleep. I will just go and find out something.. I won't get any sleep until then.."
Saying that with a hard tone, with an umbrella in hand, Akio left the Tendo house late at night…
