Ranma never imagined that he would ever enjoy a party so extensively. Since they have arrived at the party, Ukyo dragged Akane onto the dancing floor and they started dancing immediately. He was happy and surprised to find out how gracefully both the girls were dancing! Just like professionals, not missing a single beat, perfect step by step. Earlier when he heard about going to the party, the first thing that worried him was having to deal with alcohol and drunk people. But he was grateful when he saw that the party was decent enough and there was no alcohol in there; in drinks there were only cold drinks, juices and beers; which he took as a positive sign.

Standing at the drinking station and leaning on the counter, he smiled from the corner of his lips, his eyes not missing Akane's single movement as she danced and sang beautifully. He laughed to himself, when he saw how Ryoga was trying different tricks to squeeze in between them, to dance with both of them. But the girls were tackcfully handling him and didnt let him dance with them. Akane and Ukyo both tried so hard to pull Ramma to the dance floor with them. But he felt shy and hesitant to go to the dance with them. They were insisting him nonstop, but he promised them that he would join them later and that's when they agreed to give him some time.

He still couldn't believe how exceptional Akane was looking now. He definitely knows that she is a beautiful girl, no doubt about this; but this sensuous dress was making her look more … hot..

Ranma blew a breath from his mouth and began to thank God for making her wear that jacket! Already half of the crowd of boys asked her to dance, which she politely declined; but still he couldn't shrug off the uncomfortable feeling when he noticed guys looking at her with lust in their eyes.

He tried to ignore them completely and focus on Akane only , but he couldn't do that for too long. He growled angrily when he saw a guy with his other friends checking out Akane like some sly wolves and pointing at her. His relaxed stance was gone immediately, he stood up straight and decided to confront them directly. But at that exact moment the music stopped and both the girls along with Ryoga, howled happily and rushed to his side again..

"Ranchan!!!" Ukyo reached him first and gave him a firced hug. Then she looked at him and cried out happily, "Its too much fun here! You have to join us next time I am telling you.."

Akane walked past him and took a seat right next to him. She was laughing softly at Ryoga's joke, but Ranma could see clearly that she was tired. He called out to the bartender and asked him politely,

"Can you please give us some orange juices?"

"Yes, of course! How many glasses do you want, sir?"

"Uhh… 4.."

"4!!"

Ukyo chimed in and said,

"Who is going to drink orange juice in a place like this!"

"I would love to!" Akane said giggling, raising her hand up. She looked at Ranma and said, "Thank you, Ranma."

Ranma instantly smiled back at her and winked playfully, making her giggle again.

Ukyo shook her head and said to the bartender,

"Alright then, One orange juice for the kid there and three beers for us please.."

"Hey! I am not having any beers now!" Ranma tried to deny it.

"OF COURSE YOU ARE HAVING ONE WITH ME NOW!!"

"But Ucchan.."

"I don't wanna hear anything.."

Ukyo said with a hard tone, which he couldn't resist this time. Soon they all received what they had ordered and started drinking in a rush. Akane finished her drink first , she moaned happily and asked for another glass.

"Wow girl! You sure are thirsty!"! Ukyo said, seeing her as she almost finished the second glass as well.

Akane smiled at her and said while licking her lips by pushing her lips together,

"Not that much; it just tastes so good actually!"

"Really?" Ryoga asked and said, "Then I will order one for myself then. I don't feel like drinking beer today. Akane-chan do you want one more glass? What about you guys?"

"Nah, I am happy with my drink. What about you, Ranchan?"

Ranma didn't even hear any of the words his friends were telling him, his eyes and brain too busy to focus on Akane, and the way she sometimes kept licking her lips. This unintentional little torture from her was sending tickle down to his stomach. But when he saw Akane looking at him, her face bright red; then he guessed that maybe it was time he should come to his senses!

"Ranchan? Hey!? Are you even there?" Ukyo asked tiredly as she began to wave her hand in front of his face.

Ranma cleared his voice and blinked rapidly as he turned to look at Ukyo,

"Uhh.. What is it? Sorry, I couldn't hear anything because of the music.."

Ukyo rolled her eyes, knowing very well why he was spaced out. She shook her head and said,

"Ryoga was asking you if ya want to drink an orange juice?"

Ranma showed him his glass which is half empty,

"I still need to finish this, I don't want any.."

Ryoga shrugged his shoulder and said,

"Alright!" Then he asked for their drink.

"Ranma, what's the time now?" Akane asked politely.

"Huh?" Ranma turned towards her and checked his watch and said, "It's 8.30 now.."

"Oh my, it's 8.30 already?" She asked, worry lacing in her voice.

Ranma noticed that as he asked her,

"Why what happened? You wanna go back home? Let's go then.."

Ukyo hastily interfered,

"WHAT! No!! Wait!! She can't leave now!"

"But, Ucchan; she is right, she needs to leave early! Akio and her sister don't even know that she is here. If she delays returning home then that would surely cause her trouble."

In the middle of Ranma's speech , Ukyo quickly ran beside Akane and whispered into her ear,

"Akane, we still haven't managed to make Ranchan dance with us! If you leave now that would mean we are back at square one! Do you want to ruin our plan?"

"Ucchan, what are ya doing? Dont force her to stay!" Ranma said, understanding Akane's need.

"But I don't have any rush, Ranma!!" Akane said quickly as she turned to face him with a big forced smile.

"Are you sure?" Ranma asked, his look suspicious. But before he could ask her more, Ryoga came in between them with two glasses of orange juice in hand.

"Here you go, Princess! This time I asked them to give it in a bigger glass.."

Akane giggled and thanked him; they said cheers to each other and started drinking and moaning to the amazing taste.

"It is indeed better than that beer! I will grab more for myself, do ya want more, Akane.."

Akane hastily shook her head; she finished her drink in one go and got down from that long stool. In a quick motion, she stood in front of Ranma and looked at him hard and said,

"Now you…." she poked his chest with her finger, "are coming with me! No excuses no more.."

Ukyo slightly coughed on her drink when she saw Akane's direct approach towards Ranma. Her eyes became wide with surprise when she saw her pulling Ranma by his shirt collar. He was shocked as well as he somehow managed to put his glass aside and let her drag him to the dance floor.

Ranma was in a state of shock and nervousness! He had never danced before, yes he had danced once or twice , but that was in slow romantic music; not like blasting dancing tracks like this! And the fact that Akane suddenly started acting boldly and fearlessly, made him more anxious about how to move his feet along with her. In all honesty, he felt completely dumb standing like a robot as her body gracefully moved with the music.

Her cheeks became red, a gorgeous smile plastered on her face, and her eyes were closed as she moved with the rhythm. Then slowly she opened her eyes and when she saw Ranma standing stiffly in front of her, she started giggling hard as she asked him loudly,

"Why are you not dancing, Ranma?!"

Her giggle made him lose his stance a little bit, he nervously smiled back at her and said,

"I don't know how to dance.."

"WHAT?"

Akane asked loudly, not hearing what he was telling her.

Ranma bent down on her shoulder and said,

"I don't know how to dance , Kane!"

She looked up at him pouting and without thinking about her actions, she said close to his nose,

"Then I will show you how to!"

She laughed as she said that and started poking his sides, knowing very well how ticklish he is. Ranma was not expecting that from her, he started laughing, his body moving on its own as Akane kept poking him from time to time.

Ukyo was amused to see what was happening; she started laughing hard when she saw how Akane was making Ranma dance like a pro. Although the technique was unusual, and not so comfortable at all. But the way her Ranchan was laughing and trying to dance to escape her torture was making her giddy with happiness. She must say her technique was actually working as Ranma tried to match the beat of the music with Akane's guidance. She looked at them for a long time as track after track began to change. Then suddenly, an idea popped up in her mind. She smiled a naughty smile, giggled and went straight to the DJ.


"Tadaima!" Akio declared tiredly as he casually entered the house. He walked inside the kitchen and saw Kasumi washing some dishes. "Hey, Oneechan."

Kasumi turned and smiled at him and said,

"Oh my, I didn't even hear you coming! Welcome home, Akio!"

Akio looked around the house and asked,

"Where is that dumb?"

"Do you mean to say Akane?"

Akio smirked and said,

"Who else? The one and only.."

Kasumi giggled hearing that as she answered politely,

"Akane has tuition today!"

Akio growled and checked his watch,

"It's already 9! Why is she taking so long?"

"Oh my! She told us that Ukyo had invited her for dinner tonight at her house, remember?"

Akio scratched his scalp and murmured,

"Oh yeah! That slipped my mind completely! But when is she returning home? Did she give you any call?"

"No, she hasn't. But we shouldn't disturb her. I am sure she will return home by 10. Do you want me to serve dinner to you now?"

Akio sighed and said,

"Yeah.. Thank you oneechan.."


At first, Ranma was feeling hesitant to dance with Akane. But her uniquely playful strategy to make him dance with her made him forget about all his hesitation. He was enjoying every moment with her! His eyes were glued to her face; she was practically glowing with happiness, her eyes shiny as she looked at him and danced with him beautifully. He was aware of the fact that he was getting offbeat very often; but she didn't mind at all! In fact, to make him more comfortable, she sometimes also danced offbeat with him and sometimes followed his funny steps. She was laughing so hard, her face became red with her laughter. Her laugh worked like a different kind of music in his ears. He laughed alongside her and forgot to be embarrassed by how he was dancing.

Everything was going perfectly smoothly, but the smoothness didn't last for long as suddenly the music changed. He stopped his moves and stood there nervously as he heard the sensuous song playing loudly in the background. He hesitatingly looked at Akane and saw her slowly moving with the rhythm, her eyes closed, face shiny. For a moment he completely lost himself looking at her beauty, until she opened her eyes and gave him a narrow smile.

"What happened, Ranma? Why'd you stop dancing?"

Ranma gave a long breath and said in a shaky tone,

"I think ... we should skip this song?"

Akane scrunched her brows cutely and asked him pouting,

"But why? This one is my favourite one.."

A lyric of the playing song made Ranma more heated. He blushed furiously and said in a haste,

"I have no idea how to dance with this.."

Akane giggled and said in a sweet tone,

"Is that all? Oh gosh Ranma, you are so lame sometimes! Come, let me show you how.."

Hearing what she just said made him completely astonished. His eyes became wide as he quickly tried to take a step back. But she didn't let him escape from her. She quickly stepped in front of him and without any hesitation, wrapped her arms around his neck as she started moving her body, slowly….. sensuously… with slow music playing in the background..

Ranma was completely bombed with shock. His body became stiff like an iron as he felt her soft body pressing against his hard one. When he realized that she wasn't planning to stop dancing anytime soon, he tried to talk to her about it or make any excuse to make her leave him. It was not because he felt uncomfortable by her touch! In reality, he was feeling as if he was floating on the cloud and he was getting a taste of heaven. However, he was not sure if he would be able to control himself much longer if she kept pressing her body to him like this. His raging hormones were sending danger alerts to his brain and he feared that soon she would find out that he was not as innocent as she might think he was. With newfound courage and urgency, he took a deep long breath and let out with a shaky tone,

"Uhhh, Kane.. I think we should.."

"Shhh.." She started with a whispered tone, as she whispered in his ear with a soft moan, "Mmm, you smell so nice, Ranma and your hands…." She paused and traced down his arms with her hands; and forcefully made his arms wrap around her back. "Your arms are so strong too mmm.."

Ranma became speechless and fully dumbfounded. His once-hard body became like jelly, her words taking his breath away, her soft flowery scent messing up his mind completely. Then suddenly he realized that he didn't have the wish and urge to push her away anymore, he gave into the moment and let her guide his next move. His eyes half leaded, his skin burning with heat, he spread his hand over her back as he unconsciously pressed her more firmly to him. She sighed and moaned into his ear, and he completely lost his mind then and there.

The next movement made him more attentive towards their move as Akane slightly bent her body back, her eyes closed; her hands on her hair as she squeezed her hair sensuously. Ranma protectively held her waist and back as he pulled her body up in a slow motion; but she hastily turned her body and pulled his hand securely over her belly.

Unlike before, Ranma didn't pull away from her, he stayed at his place and allowed her to guide his next move. He spared his strong hand over the bare skin of her belly. He couldn't hold back a soft growl that escaped from his throat, when she slowly started swaying her hips, making his danger alarm loudly rang into his ear. But for some unknown reason, he ignored all the warnings that his body was sending to him and dived into the moment full-heartedly. He never felt this solace before! With her, it felt so right; as if it was meant to happen like this. He absentmindedly grabbed her belly tightly and hid his face down on the crock of her neck. And when he heard her sharp intake of breath mixed with a slow moan; he instantly turned her around and pulled her towards his body.

He looked at her then, she was looking at him with her half-lidded eyes, her expression inviting and daring him to move further. He completely lost himself in her spell. His hands became daring and moved on their own, as he gradually, sensuously, moved his hands inside her jacket, over her top, up on her bare back. She hissed pleasantly and circled her arms around his neck as she kept swaying her body with the rhythm. After a few moments, she smiled up at him from the corner of her lips and pecked into her lower lip. His eyes followed her every move with his half-lidded eyes, devouring her just by looking at her. Akane made the next move without any hesitation. She deliberately cupped his face with her small hands and pulled his face closer to her. Their nose softly bumped at first, they took a quick gust of breath in as they slowly closed their eyes, for the next move to happen...


Ukyo stood beside the DJ motionlessly. Her mouth was wide open with surprise as she kept staring at her 'oh so innocent' friends! She just wanted them to dance a little bit romantically that's why she had asked the DJ to change the song, but it was looking far more romantic to her eyes!! At first she saw her Ranchan hesitate to dance with Akane with the sensual music she chose for them. Then she noticed the bold way Akane approached him and now, she was witnessing a couple fearlessly dancing together.

In a blink of an eye, suddenly they started dancing without any hesitation. It was as if it was meant to happen and they have danced like this before as well. Soon she overcame her surprised state and squealed with excitement when she saw how lost they looked in each other's arms. Her face became bright red as she laid her hands on her cheeks as she started jumping like a happy kid.

"You know that couple?" Suddenly the DJ asked.

Ukyo turned to look at him and said,

"Yes, they are with me.."

He blew a soft whistle and commented,

"They sure look like a sexy couple to me.."

Ukyo giggled upon hearing that and shook her head. She turned to look at them again and began to think to herself.

'And here we thought that my Ranchan has no interest in girls!! Come to think of it, I also thought that Akane also doesn't have any interest in any guys! She always used to run away at the slightest hint of any boy approaching her! But now look at them both!! Well well well.. who could have guessed thay could be so perverted with each other! The way they are dancing now…. wait a second; ARE THEY ABOUT TO KISS NOW!!'

Her train of thoughts came to a halt as she gawked at them with wide surprised eyes. A bright smile of disbelief spread over her face as she anticipated the inevitable to happen… they were so close... too close... almost there... And then..

"I WANNA DANCE WITH RANMA TOO!! UHOO!!" Suddenly Ryoga came out of nowhere and jumped onto Ranma's back , which made the couple separate from each other, ungracefully.

Ukyo gripped the chair in front of her tightly and let out in a frustrated tone,

"WHAT THE!! THAT JACKASS!!" She hastily turned towards the DJ and yelled at him, "Change the song, RIGHT NOW!!" And she ran towards them as quickly as possible..

That DJ got scared of her impulsive reaction and quickly changed the song and played a hard dancing track again.

Ukyo reached them quickly and saw Ranma angrily pushing Ryoga's hand away!

"What the hell are ya doing man!" Ranma let out angrily.

Ukyo growled at him and snatched Ryoga's arm to make him look at her,

"Why'd you do that you idiot!"

For some reason Ryoga couldn't take the scolding of his friends. His aura instantly became depressed, he sniffed and said like an abandoned kid,

"But… but I just wanna dance like Ranma was doing!"

"OWWW! You pathetic little.." Ukyo started with a frustrated growl.

"It's okay, Ukyo.." Akane said in a soft whispered tone, and joined the conversation as she politely asked Ryoga,

"You want to dance too, is that it Ryoga?"

Ryoga nodded his head with a single tear in his right eye.

"Awe.. don't cry! C'mon, let's dance!"

Ryoga hollowed happily, his depression gone in a second as he took Akane's hand in his, and they both started doing silly dances with each other.

Ranma and Ukyo kept looking at them dumbfoundedly. Although shocked, Ranma's heart still kept beating like crazy. He laid his one hand over his beating heart and started rubbing it to ease the unsteadyness. Then he looked at Akane's happy face as she danced with Ryoga happily. It was not like she was dancing with him like they did a few moments ago; but still, he couldn't shrug off the uneasy feelings he was feeling in his heart. He became confused! He never felt like this before. Is he jealous? Is it how a person feels when they feel jealous? He growled inwardly as he bitterly thought to himself,

'I don't know if it's jealousy or not; but I don't wanna see her dancing the way she danced with me with any other guy..'

"Ranchan?" Ukyo called out to him, understanding his disappointment; "Are you okay?"

Ranma looked the other side and said,

"I am fine! I just need to go to the washroom. I will be right back.."

Ukyo moaned as she saw her Ranchan moving towards the washroom which was situated outside of the hall. She turned to look at the dancing partners and huffed angrily. With angry steps she approached them and snatched Akane's arms and pulled her along with her.

"Ukyo, what's going on?"

Ukyo stopped at a corner; she gave her a heated look and asked her in an annoyed tone,

"What is wrong with you, Akane? How could you do this to Ranchan?"

"Huh? But what did I do to him?" She started with a confused tone, "You told me to dance with him and I did.."

Ukyo looked at her with disbelief and said,

"You just can't say it was just a dance! You guys were practically devouring each other!"

"Really?" Akane asked, her voice unsure.

Ukyo was still in shock as she kept listening to Akane's reply. She then took a long breath and said,

"How could you even ask that to me!! You guys were about to kiss a few moments ago, damn it! But because of that moron Ryoga, you guys had to pull apart! And then instead of getting angry at him, you started dancing with Ryoga as if nothing had happened between you and Ranma! What is wrong with you,girl!? Do you have any idea how sad Ranchan looked when he saw you two dancing? And how could you dance with Ryoga who ruined such a perfect moment for you two?"

Akane pouted and asked with a sad tone,

"Awww poor Ranma, he wanted to kiss me?"

"Huh?" Ukyo became more confused, she shook her head and said, "The way I saw it, you both wanted to kiss each other, sugar!"

"Is that so? Aww he must be so upset then. Where is he now.." She asked, suddenly fanning herself with her hand as she opened her jacket.

Ukyo pulled up her one eyebrow at her and asked her,

"Do you really wanna open your jacket? After complaining to me how much skin it was showing.."

Akane sighed and nodded her head,

"Yes, Ukyo! I am feeling hot suddenly.."

Ukyo smirked but before she could say anything to her, Ryoga joined them with an annoying yell as he said,

"Missed me girls?" Then his eyes fell onto Akane, "Oh ma Gosh, Akane! You look super hotttt.."

Akane kept fanning her face as she said in a whimpering tone,

"Yes I am hot and I need a drink now.."

Saying that, she didn't even wait for anyone and rushed towards the juice bar. Ryoga followed her closely as Ukyo called out to them,

"AKANE!! I am not finished with you yet.."

Bepp*Bepp*Bepp*

Ukyo paused and checked her phone when it vibrated on her bag.

'Father?! Oh God, I have to take the call; I will talk to her later..'

Thinking that to herself, she quickly exited the hall to talk more privately.


Ranma splashed some cold water over his face. He still couldn't believe what had happened a few minutes ago. Yes, he had sometimes dreamed of Akane and him getting closer to each other; but he never dared to imagine that it would happen this soon!

'~~Mmm.. you smell so nice, Ranma.'~~

Suddenly her seductive voice rang into his ear. He looked up at the mirror, his face still red with embarrassment, his breathing uneven. He closed his eyes for a moment and he could swear that he could still smell her exquisite aroma.

Her smell was so intoxicating; her hands were small and soft like cotton. He could have lost himself fully just by staring at her. Her half lidded eyes so inviting, her lips parted perfectly awaiting for his touch..

'~~~Let me show you how…'~~~

A shiver ran through his whole body. He growled impatiently and opened his eyes. He again splashed some water over his face and only wanted to have a cold shower to calm his raging hormones. He never felt this restless before. This new feeling that he was feeling now was scaring him. It's like he has lost control over his own body and it's reacting on its own!

Lots of women, especially Shampoo, tried to get close to him lots of times. But his body and heart never responded to them as it responded to Akane's simple touch. With others, he wanted to get rid of them as quick as possible. He couldn't even stand them. And when Shampoo sometimes managed to kiss him without his concern; he plainly felt disgusted.

But with Akane, it was completely different. With her, it was like his hand was moving on its own and he wanted to explore more of her body. Her smell completely drived him crazy, and at that moment all he wished was just to kiss her with all his might, so that he could erase the horrendous memories of Shampoo kissing him. They were so close too, their noses touched in a very sensuous way and he could swear that he had felt a soft touch of her lips on his lips. But because of that idiot..

"Damn it..!"

Ranma whispered with a long frustrated sigh. Then suddenly a thought came to his mind.

'But... Why did Akane do all this with me? Does she have feelings for me?" He looked at himself on the mirror, "If not… then ... then why would she… But if she has feelings for me then; why'd she act so calmy after Ryoga interrupted us?!'

A sudden door opening and closing, along with a few other guys entering the washroom, paused his jumbled-up thoughts. He gave a big sigh and shook his head tiredly. He gave a last look in the mirror and casually walked out of the washroom. He was about to enter the party hall again but stopped when he heard Ukyo's loud voice from the side of the hall. He turned a corner and found her pacing uneasyly and talking on her phone,

"Dad, please, try to understand I can't come right now!"

"--"

"No Father! Listen to me!! ."

"--"

"Why are you insisting so much! Tell him to wait ! I can't come!"

"What happened, Ucchan?"

Ukyo hastily turned and saw Ranma approaching her. She sighed and told over the phone,

"I will call you back, Dad.."

"What's wrong?"

"Father wants me to go home right now. His friend just came by and he has to show a file to him, but he can't find it. He left it in my room's cabinet and now the key is with me."

"You should leave in a hurry then.."

"But Ranchan, you don't understand! I need to take Akane back to her house.." she said in a panicked tone.

Ranma laid his hand over her shoulder and said,

"I will take care of her. You go and help your father."

"Are you sure?" She asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, no problem at all.."

Ukyo sighed with relief and said,

"Thanks, Ranchan.. But don't forget to take her to your home first; she needs to change her clothes before going to her house. Or if Akio sees her like this, that would be another history!"

Ranma smirked hearing that and nodded his head. Ukyo smiled gratefully and quickly said bye to him and started walking at a quick pace. As he saw Ukyo walking away, at that exact moment some boys exited the hall and passed by his side. He flinched when he heard some of them yelling at the top of their lungs and acting as if they had drunk the whole bottle of alcohol. He anxiously looked at them and saw some of their friends trying to hold them in places. He scrunched his nose and concluded that they might have bought their own drinks because Ryoga told him that there was no alcohol allowed. But his attention picked up when he heard one of the guys who was acting normal, talking in disappointment,

"I thought Mikado said no alcohol at the party! Then how the heck did they get drunk?"

"Oh, you can blame Azusa for that." Another sane guy replied.

"But why?"

"I heard Mikado scolding Azusa because she had mixed alcohol with the Orange juice.."

"WHAT!! That crazy lady!! She punched the drink ??!"

"Yeah, man.. I also heard that it's very strong.."

"Well, that's good for me then, I chose to drink beer today.."

Their voices faded as they walked away. But Ranma still stood still, his eyes wide with surprise, he was still in a state of disbelief.

~~~~"I heard Mikado scolding Azusa because she had mixed alcohol with the Orange juice.."

"WHAT!! That crazy lady!! She punched the drink ??!"~~~~~

"Oh God! No..No..No.. No..No..!!!"

As their words finally preceded his brain, Ranma started running as quickly as possible. Now he understood why Akane was acting so usual; she had drunk alcohol without even knowing it! And she had drunk loads of it too! He entered the hall as a loud mix of hard dancing music welcomed him. He looked around anxiously, but he couldn't find Akane anywhere. He was about to go inside the dancing zone but he paused when suddenly, he saw Ryoga sitting on the bar stool, slumped over the bar table. He wanted to ignore him, but he had to stop when he noticed something over Ryoga's shoulder. He quickly stopped beside him and took the jacket that casually laid over his shoulder. He looked at the jacket with disbelief as a sudden fear engulfed him.

'This is… this is.. Akane's!!"

He quickly came out of his stupor and aggressively started jerking Ryoga's shoulder.

"Ryoga!! Hey!! DAMN IT!! WAKE UP!!"

Ryoga somehow looked up at Ranma and started laughing maniacally. Ranma growled hearing his laugh as he let out in a frustrated tone,

"STOP LAUGHING, YOU FOOL!! WHERE IS AKANE! WHY IS HER JACKET WITH YOU?"

Ryoga laughed slowly and said with a dreamy tone,

"Ak… Akane!? Oh…. Akane-chan!! She looked so 'hik' hotttt without her jacket! She was looking like a piece of ... soft cheesecake.." Saying that he took the jacket in his hand and gave it a big sniff and made a satisfactory moaning sound.

Ranma got more irritated by his act ; he snatched back her jacket in his hand and clutched his collar and asked him in a deadly tone,

"Damn it, Ryoga! Just tell me where ya saw her last. Or else.."

"Aw.. Calm down, man! She went to the dance floor after having a drink with me," Ryoga said with a weavey tone, then added, "Oh shoot, she asked me to get another orange juice for her! 'Hik' , Akane, wait a second Akane; I will bring you your .."

Ranma didn't let him finish and dropped him back to his stool. He back-brushed his hair with his hand and looked at the crazy crowd. His heart beating with anticipation and fear for her safety. Suddenly, he remembered the way the other guys were watching her dancing. He hastily looked at the table where those guys were sitting moments ago; and when he found the place empty, his heart dropped as a new fear arose within him.

'If anyone ... anyone dared to lay a finger on her, I would ... I would break their arms .. '

He thought bitterly, his body heated up with anger. He growled angrily and without any second thought, ran inside the dancing hall to search for her.
