A/N: Words written in bold means they are thinking about the past.
The ray of bright sunlight fell over Ranma's face as he slowly opened his eyes. He checked the alarm clock and noticed that he had woken up way earlier than needed. Well, can he blame himself! Last night, he couldn't sleep a blink. He was too excited for today. He had been planning for this particular day for a very long time and finally the day had arrived. And what is special about today? It's special because, this day marks one year of him meeting his dream girl, Akane.
Ranma looked up at the ceiling as a soft smile adored his face. He still couldn't believe that it had only been one year since they had met each other . To him, it feels as if they have been connected to each other since they have arrived in this earth. Maybe they had got separated because of some circumstances; but they had never been apart from each other.
For some weird reason, he feels that way about the other Tendo sisters as well! In a very short period of time, the way they all accepted him as one of their family members, is too good to be true for him. Especially after that Kasumi and Tofu incident, he feared that Kasumi would feel uncomfortable with him. But to his surprise, that night, completely opposite scenario happened.
After Kasumi and Tofu came down to the living room and declared to all of them that Tofu and she would be dating each other and they would want to take things slowly. That night she also introduced him to Dr Tofu in a new way and told him that Ranma is like her own brother. Just like a brother came from another mother. That statement of hers and the way she hugged him afterwards as she cried onto his shoulder made him so emotional and loved. That moment is, indescribable. From that day on, it felt to him as if he also got reunited with his long-lost family, for which he had been craving for his whole miserable life.
He also likes Nabiki a lot. The three Tendo sisters, each with different personalities, but commonly possessing kind hearts. Nabiki is so mysterious, her attitude awes him and sometimes it scares him a lot. He still clearly rememberd that night, when he and Akane went out to that park to give her the good news about Kasumi. At first she looked so pleased and she even got emotional hearing about their reunion. But then she quickly composed herself and gave them some mysterious advice which made Akane confused and to him, it felt like his days of freedom had ended.
Ranma gulped hard as he began to think about those final words Nabiki told them before leaving for her long journey to Europe.
Nabiki looked uncomfortable as she started pulling the chocker styled diamond necklace on her neck and started adjusting it.
"Puf, you know what, sometimes I just hate wearing this necklaces. This might look expensive, but it has the ability to choke you."
Akane rolled her eyes and said, "Oh my! You! Nabiki! Complaining about a diamond necklace! Seriously! This had been your dream for as long as I can remember!"
Nabiki sighed and said, "Yes, that time it was my dream. But now, sometimes it feels like rope around my neck, not a necklace. It is hard to explain, you know."
"Then stop wearing that, sis!" Akane said as a matter of fact.
Nabiki shook her head and said, "I wish, sis! Sometimes, I wish to let it all go and feel the freedom I used to feel when I was with you guys. But I guess I am stuck with my good fortune."
"If it bothers you that much then why don't you leave Kuno then?" Akane asked, then looked at Ranma and saw him giving Nabiki a strange look.
Nabiki smiled hearing her and said with a playful tone, "Why don't you help me with it, sis? If you agree to marry Kuno next, I am sure he will easily let me go with a huge alimony."
"Ew! Seriously! Thanks, but no thanks.." Akane shrugged in disgust.
Nabiki chuckled and said, "Anyways Akane, you acted really immaturely today."
"Excuse me!" She protested.
"Oh please Akane, the way you got offended when Ranma lied about his relationship with Kasumi, it was really hilarious."
Akane growled, "Oh honestly, how I act that time was natural."
Nabiki shrugged and said, "Maybe.." She walked towards her, laid her hand on Akane's shoulder and said, "But next time, if you have to go through the same situation like that , try to act a little bit calmly, imouto. I am not gonna be around to help you all the time! What I am asking is, don't jump into conclusions easily like you always do, okay? Give the other person time to explain and then maybe take a decision."
Akane scratched her head and said, "You are weird, I don't even know what you are talking about." She fondly smiled at Nabiki and said, "Whatever, I will take your advice this time."
Nabiki chuckled and gave a quick goodbye hug to Akane. She broke the hug and looked at Ranma as she slowly went towards him and said softly,
"Whatever happened today, it's all your doing, Ranma! Without you, Kasumi and Tofu might have never got a solution for their relationship."
Ranma came out of his stupor and hastily shook his head, "No, thats not true! I couldn't have done this without you guys.."
"No Ranma." Akane said in the middle with a soft tone, "Nabiki is right, it's all you. We owe you big time for this."
"Yes, we do." Nabiki added, "And by the way, why did you look so hesitant when Akane accused you of lying? It's okay to lie sometimes, you know." She softly placed her hand on his tensed shoulder and said while deeply looking into his eyes, "Ranma, If a lie is helping someone to get out of their worst situation, we should not count that as a sin at all, isn't it Akane?"
Akane nodded her head, "Yes, you are right! I am so sorry for making it hard for you back there, Ranma."
Ranma couldn't say anything else after that. His legs became like jelly and he felt as if he was going to fall to the ground anytime now. The way Nabiki said those words to him and the meaningful way she looked at him, for a moment he felt as if she knows everything about him and she was ready to reveal his secret to Akane.
His heart became slow, he looked down feeling completely shattered as no words came out of his mouth. Then, to his surprise, he heard Nabiki giggling softly and then felt her soft hands cupping his hot cheeks as she made him look at her again. And before he could contemplate what was happening, she pulled his face close to her face. He froze to his spot as he thought she would kiss him directly over his lips. But thankfully at the end she quickly changed her direction and gave a lingering kiss on his nose.
She smiled looking at his astonished face and said with a soft tone,
"Take care, handsome. I wish I had met you before I married Kuno.."
Akane growled and quickly came in between them and said with a pout, "But now you are MARRIED to Kuno; and he is waiting for you, sis."
Nabiki grunted and asked her, "Are you sure you don't want Kuno? You know if you make up your heart and we switch partners, you can make us all happy."
"Us? Who us?" Akane asked with a dangerously low growl.
"Duh! Me and Kuno, who else!" Nabiki broke down into a laughing fit looking at Akane. She shook her head and said her bye to them again and walked towards her car as it drove off.
Ranma still stood there with a shocked expression on his face, his eyes still locked to the place where Nabiki's car was once parked. Akane turned to look at him and instantly misunderstood his shocked expression with an amused expression. She angrily growled at him and asked him,
"What happened, Ranma? Are you already missing her? Do you want me to call her back for you?"
Ranma still looked dazed which made her more irritated.
"Oh honestly,Ranma! I should have taken her offer and given you up to her! I am sure that would have made you the happiest person in this world, wouldn't it?"
"Huh?! What did ya say? No, wait! Why would you do that?" Ranma asked hastily as he came out of his stupor.
"Baka!" Akane whispered hoarsely, shook her head disappointedly and started walking away from him.
"Hey, Kane, please wait..!"Ranma was still at a loss about how to react. He called out to her again and to his surprise, she stopped, looked back at him with a frown on her face and walked back in front of him again with heavy steps. She pouted looking up at his face and then without saying any word, she roughly rubbed his nose with her sleeve where Nabiki's red lipstick mark was. After she was done wiping his nose, she huffed at him and walked away from him again.
Ranma couldn't stop but smile at her actions. He chuckled and called out to her and began to jog behind her to reach her side. As he reached her side, he playfully asked her,
"Again angry at me?"
*No answer from her*
"But what did I do this time? I didn't kiss her, she did!"
*Again no answer *
Ranma stopped walking and said with a dramatic sigh,
"I guess it won't be a good idea for me to return to your house with you if you are this angry at me.."
That made her stop walking as well. She looked back at him with narrow eyes, walked towards him and grabbed his arm hard.
"You are such a baka! Now STOP babbling nonsense and come along!"
Saying that she started pulling him with her. But he had another thing on his mind. He gave a victorious smile and stopped her by grabbing her arm instead. She gave him a questioning stare, but before she could ask him anything, his next move caught her off guard. He quickly turned her around, trapped her against the fence and began to lean in close to her face. Her eyes became wide with surprise as his eyes began to trace her beauty fearlessly. Then taking a long breath, he said with a husky whisper tone,
"You know what, you look way too beautiful when you act jealous."
At first, Akane couldn't process what he said to her, too stunned to see his face so close to her. But when his words finally made sense to her, she moaned and tried to look away from him, "I am not jealous of anyone."
"Oh really? Then why did ya wipe my nose then? Huh?" He asked her playfully.
Akane looked back at him and said, "Because it was looking ugly on you."
"Oh really?"
"Yes!"
"I don't care, Kane. I need those marks back on my nose again."
"What?!"
"You heard me, tomboy! Give me back my marks." Ranma said jokingly. He was playing with her and he was enjoying seeing her act so frightened suddenly. It had became so hard for him to stay composed and not to burst out laughing at her face. But he was trying his best.
But this time also, she beat him again. Which he thought would a funny prank on her, turned out to become a reward for him as suddenly, she came close to his face and kissed him exactly where Nabiki had kissed him before.
Akane understood that Ranma was trying to play a trick on her by putting her in this embarrassing situation. But he forgot who was the master here. She giggled softly when she saw how stunned he looked at that moment. She shook her head and poked his forehead with her finger and pushed him slightly to get out of his trap. She started running towards the Tendo house as she declared while looking back him,
"Race you home, baka! Losers get to do all the dishes." She started laughing hard and began running ahead of him.
Ranma stood there dumbfoundedly for a few moments. A naughty goofy grin came to his face, he sighed dreamily and started following Akane with a much calmer heart this time.
*
Back to the present
Ranma chuckled to himself as he washed his own dishes on the kitchen sink. It was still early in the morning, that's why he didn't call Mr Hiro to make him breakfast. He did it himself and made sure to make extra for Mr Hiro and Ryoga.
"Master! What are you doing here?"
Ranma wiped his hands with a napkin and said with a wide smile, "Don't worry, Mr Hiro. I took care of everything here."
Hiro looked at the way he organized the kitchen and said with an amazed tone,
"You have become so good at it, master! I still can't believe how quickly you learned cooking!"
Ranma chuckled and said, "Well, all thanks goes to you, Mr Hiro. Anyways, I am leaving early today, please inform Ryoga about it." Saying that, he nodded his head and went inside his room to get ready for the day.
Mr Hiro smiled at him and said to himself, "It's not my doing at all. It's called Power of love, master."
Ranma walked towards his first destination as he planned for the day. He was pleased that his plan was working as he wished to. He didn't want to confort Ryoga early in the morning, he didn't want to ruin his day.
It still amuse him to see how Akane had managed to change a guy like Ryoga. In this one year Ryoga had changed a lot. He had become less arrogant, more thoughtful and amusingly sensitive. Although he appreciates the change, but he can't shrug off the discomfort that he always feels whenever Ryoga spends time with Akane. Sometimes he was sure that Ryoga was trying to woo Akane. His attempts to hit on Akane are so visible. He never feels ashamed to confess his interest to Akane and it irritated him to see how politely Akane handled him all the time. Sometimes he wished Akane would snap at Ryoga for his playful manner and tell him to leave her alone. But it's like asking for too much from her.
One day, Ryoga bluntly started discussing with him and Ukyo what would happen after this act would be finished. Ryoga forwardly told them that he is actually waiting for that day to come, because from that day on he would start escorting Akane. He was way too confident that after Akane would find out that he is the real normal guy, her feelings would shift for him immediately. That statement made Ranma so furious that he started arguing with him, saying that no matter what, Akane would never change her feelings for him. Although he was doubtful in some point, he still refused to give up and kept on arguing.
What frustrated him most when he saw Ukyo also backed Ryoga that day. It made him so uncomfortable at that time. Ukyo must have noticed his discomfort, that's why once alone, she told him why she did that. She told him that this is the time when he should take things more seriously. He have to make up his mind about how he feels about Akane and how he truly imagines their relationship. Does he want to be only friends with her or does he wants more? Because if it's friendship then he shouldn't be caring about what Ryoga would do with Akane. Ryoga has changed and he promised he would be more serious in his life to prove Akane that he is capable of her. It would be a great choice if Akane decides to go with Ryoga. That way Akane and Ranma could see each other as a friend more often. But if this idea bothers him that much, then how he is planning to go further with his relationship with Akane?
Ukyo was right. He needs to make up his mind about his feelings for Akane. He has to sort out his feelings for her. In this one year, if he had learned one thing it would be, time flies very quickly and it rarely gives you chance to wait. Thats why, he have to take this matter seriously.
He stopped walking as suddenly this thought clouded his mind.
'In that case, I only have one more year with her. Few counted days. Then what? Is that it?'
His heart dropped as he began to think about all the consequences. Would she forgive him if she found out that he had been lying to her about his identity? Would she hate him after that? Can he see her with Ryoga? If not, then why? Does he want to go further with their relationship? Would she accept him as more than her friend? Would she ever love her the way he..
"Oh here you are!" Suddenly a voice called out to him, breaking his train of thought. The woman from the flower shop poked her head out from the small window and looked at Ranma and said, "I was wondering when you will come! Why don't you come inside, your small flower bokeh is ready to go.."
Ranma smiled at her and entered her shop. She gave him a bunch of white-blue lilies and said,
"It's good that you told me in advance to bring those flowers. It's very rare to find them in this season. You are lucky that I found them."
Ranma smiled at her and nodded his head. He thanked the flower lady and put the flowers inside a backpack that he brought with him that day to hide the gifts he bought for Akane. He wanted to give Akane more expensive things to celebrate this day. But he knows, she will never accept any expensive gifts from him. That's why he decided to give her a small bokeh of her favourite flowers and a simple silver chain with a tiny pearl in it. Although, the chain is plain but, he was sure it would definitely suit her.
He started walking towards the institute as multiple thoughts and doubts surrounded his mind. Today he has a mission in his hand. Today, he would talk to Akane. He wants to discuss this matter with her very seriously. He wants to ask her if there is anything he could hope from their relationship. He wants to ask her if she could see him more than friends. Because he wants to.. He really really wants to..
Ranma entered his classroom and found the classroom empty. Anyway, he came to class way too early to find anyone there. He went to his seat and sat there with a tired huf. He looked beside him, where his tomboy usually sits beside him. He gave a long sigh, suddenly feeling way too nervous thinking about what he was planning to do that day. There was one more thing that was bothering him. Which is, the way Akane behaved with him yesterday. It happened so suddenly; and so unexpectedly! Thinking about that incident, its already making him reconsider his decision to ask Akane about her feelings today.
Yesterday, in the beginning, everything seemed alright, but he noticed that Akane was acting a little differently, like she was in deep shock and on edge. It's like something serious was bothering her. He could see that she didn't give any attention to their teacher either. It was so unlike her. He asked her many times about what was bothering her, but she lied to him every time. Then what made him more concerned for her, when he found her intentionally missing one of the class before the lunch period started. Concerned, he went out to look for her at lunchtime but she was nowhere to be found! He got more worried about her and began to look for her everywhere. After a long search, he found her sitting under the shade of a tree and as he approached her silently, he noticed that she was reading a letter very secretively.
Then the drama began when he called out to her from behind to get her attention. And to his surprise, when she saw him coming towards her, she became so surprised, almost defensive. That was the first he saw her getting annoyed, meaning really annoyed by his presence. She even accused him of chasing her and disturbing her privacy.
Her accusation shocked him and more then that, it hurt him badly. She must have noticed his pain when he apologised to her. Because when he was leaving after saying sorry to her, she called after him in a panicked tone,
"Ranma! Wait!"
Ranma stopped but didn't turn around. He was still in disbelief of how she accused him and for some reason, he didn't want to pretend that he was okay with it.
Akane walked in front of him and bowed down in an apologetic manner.
"I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry! I didn't want to say that! It just slipped out of my mouth."
Ranma gulped hard as she looked up at him, her eyes slightly wet with the regret she was feeling for talking to him that way. She hastily grabbed his hands and said with a shaky tone,
"Please don't get angry at me. I am so sorry, Ranma! I am so horrible.."
She sniffed and bite on her lower lip to control her emotions. Ranma gave a long sigh and nodded. He friendly patted her shoulder and said,
"It's okay. It happens sometimes. Ya don't have to feel sorry about it.."
Akane nodded her head and said with a soft whispered tone, "I am really feeling so bad, Ranma. I am so sorry."
Ranma sighed and said with a serious tone,
"I know something is bothering you, Akane. Do you wanna share it with me? Do you need help?"
For a moment, the way Akane looked at Ranma it felt as if she really wanted to tell him something. But then, she gulped hard, looked down and slowly shook her head.
Ranma wanted to push her more to tell him what was bothering her. But he was also scared to see her react that way again. So he decided to leave it as suddenly, she spoke up again,
"I think I will go home now."
"Now? But its only break time.."
"Yeah, I know." Akane sighed and said, "Don't worry, I will talk to the professor about leaving early."
Ranma got a little bit upset hearing her say that. He came here to talk to her about their one-year celebration, but now he have to face this unexpected scenario. It is a big deal for him. Last year, he found his dream girl right here in this institution and since then, his life kept witnessing miracle after miracle. He wants to celebrate the day wholeheartedly and show her how important she is for him. But after seeing her distress like this, he decided it would be a good idea to plan for the celebration on his own.
He cleared his voice and nodded his head and said,
"Okay then.. I will tell Akio about it."
Akane gave him a small smile and said, "Thanks, Ranma. Please tell him to bring my bag with him."
Ranma shrugged his shoulder and said, "I have lessons today for martial arts. I can bring your bag to you."
"Umm, about that…" Akane hesitated a bit and said, "Can we do that later? I won't be able to practice with you today. I am sorry,Ranma."
Saying that, she apologized to him again and hastily started to leave. It took him some time to proceed what she said to him. It felt to him as if she was indirectly telling him not to come to her house that day. But why is she pushing him away like this? What has he done? What is his fault?After a moment, when he saw her almost leaving the gate, he hastily called out to her. He ran towards her and asked her,
"You do remember what tomorrow is , right?"
Akane paused for a moment and turned to look at him with a confused face. Then giving him a forced smile she said,
"Of course…. I.. I remember!"
Ranma smiled back at her and asked doubtfully,
"Would you come tomorrow? Please?"
Akane sighed and said with a soft smile,
"I will. See you tomorrow, Ranma."
But she didn't come.
Ranma glanced at all the students as they slowly began to fill the classroom. Soon the professor came in as well as their lesson began.
Ranma looked down with a shattered heart. Akio told him that Akane won't come today because she didn't feel like coming. Ranma casually nodded his head and tried his best to attend the class as normally as possible. Outside he tried to act as casual as possible; but inside his heart became heavy with the thought that Akane had decided to skip the day which he thought mattered the most for them.
'Maybe it's one-sided? Maybe It's not as important to her as it is to me? Am I expecting too much from her? Should I?'
Ranma thought bitterly. He took a deep breath and looked up at the board as he tried his best to focus on his studies.
Akane rolled over her bed for the hundredth time since morning. She pushed her face over her pillow and screamed as loudly as she could. She was frustrated! Very very irritated! She was feeling trapped! Tangled in a situation that she was scared to face. She was feeling lost. Her mind was completely fogged. She felt so uncomfortable that she didn't even go down to have her breakfast with her family and totally forgot to eat her lunch at the afternoon.
She moaned and turned on her back. She kept looking up at the ceiling for a long time with a frown on her face and then decided to read the letter again for only Kami knows how many times! This time she literally glared at the letter as she began to read it in her mind,
~~~~Dear Akane-oneechan,
I hope you are doing well. It's been more than one year since I have heard from you. You hadn't even come to our village anymore and you didn't even call us. Well, I know why you are doing this. But, you know, Grandpa and Grandma are missing you so much. They always talk about you. Honestly, the whole village is missing their sweet little Akane. And he is also missing you all the time.
I wish I could show you a part of my heart as I am writing this. My heart feels so heavy and it became numb from the pain I am getting from his ignorance every day. You ran away from this village last year because you wanted to help me to get my love. But after you left, everything remained the same.
Although you have told them over the phone so many times you do not want to marry him; and that's why you ran away like that; but they don't want to believe your words. Specially, Shinnosuke.
I tried to tell him so many times how I feel about him, but he refused to hear me. He is still waiting for you. Wishing that you would return to him one day. He believes that he doesn't belong to anyone until he hears this coming out from your mouth.
Why did you saved me that night, oneechan? It would have less painful than the experience I am facing now. Please Oneechan, please come back. If this is what he wants, I won't get into his way anymore.
I will support him and I promise I won't repeat the same mistake I did before. To make me happy; to fulfil my wish, you have been away from this family for way too long. Please come back. Everyone will be so happy to see you; specially Shinnosuke.
I have made up my mind that he will never love me back the way I do. He doesn't want to accept me. It's alright. Not every love story has a happy ending. I will add mine there too. But I would love to see his love story getting fulfilled. Then maybe I can…
I don't know how you will react to this letter. But I am determined now. If you don't come here soon, I will disappear. I promise you that. And I will blame you for that. You guys can never find me anywhere. I can't take this anymore, oneechan! I feel like a illicit now! I have ruined his happiness! I can't take his ignorance anymore! You shouldn't have saved me that night, oneechan.
Your incapable sister
Yuri~~~~~~
"That idiot, dummy, fool, thick-headed WOMAN!! I HATE MY LIFE!!"
She started cursing under her breath and Just then, she heard some voices coming from downstairs. She assumed that her sister, Ranma and Akio might have came back home. Her stomach growled loudly, reminding her how hungry she was. She laid her hand on her tummy and gave a long sigh,
"I think I better go down and eat something now. Ranma might have come as well for his training. I missed yesterday's lesson; I don't want to miss today's. Honestly, today I need it more than he does. Oh well… I can think about this letter LATER! I really REALLY need a break right now. Damn..
She quickly changed her pajamas, which she hadn't bothered to change since morning. Went to the washroom to make herself feel fresh and then slowly joined her family downstairs, who were currently laughing about some matter.
Their laughter brought a calming sense to her tensed heart. A small smile came onto her lips as she slowly entered the kitchen area. Everyone stopped laughing when they saw her entering the kitchen. Her eyes began to roam over them as she asked them,
"What happened?"
Kasumi spoke up, "Oh my, I thought you wouldn't want to come down!"
"Why not?" Akane asked as she shrugged her shoulder and entered the kitchen fully. "Hello, Dr Tofu!"
"Hi, Akane. Come, sit beside me."
Akane smiled and sat beside him at the dining area. Kasumi soon joined them and started serving them some snacks and teas. Akane looked at Akio and asked him,
"Where is Ranma? Is he in the washroom?"
Akio munched on a cookie as he said, "He said he won't come today."
"Huh? Oh, I see.." Akane's appetite went away immediately. She looked down at the tea in her hand and started swirling it.
"Oh my! Why not? I really wanted to see him today.." Kasumi giggled and said, "We were just talking about the incident last year! You remember how Ranma ran away after seeing Akane practice on the park!"
"Hahaha! Oh God, he thought that he had seen a ghost! That was hilarious! Hahaha!" Akio said, laughing wildly.
Tofu tried not to laugh in front of Akane, but he failed miserably. "Oh gosh! Sorry Akane, I didn't want to laugh. But that was really unique."
Kasumi laid her hand on her chest and said, "Oh my my, I still can't believe it's already been one year! Say Akio, last year you started your course, isn't it? That means one year left to finish it?"
"Umhm, today is the day when we started last year."
"Wow! Time really flies." Tofu said with a wide smile as he shook his head in amusement. He then looked at Akane and noticed that she had suddenly become quiet and motionless. He laid his hand on her shoulder and asked with a concern-filled tone,
"Akane? Are you alright?"
With a sharp intake of breath, she came back to her senses. She looked so troubled as she looked back at Tofu. She hastily shook her head, stood up in haste and went to call Ranma.
She kept calling Ranma's home number and his mobile number numerous times! But she couldn't reach him. She began to panic as she kept on trying as suddenly the memory of yesterday played on the back of her head.
"You do remember what tomorrow is , right?"
"Would you come tomorrow?"
Akane put down the phone from her ear. How could she miss this date! This day means a lot to her. She had been planning for this day since last month. But after she got this letter, she forgot about everything!
"Would you come tomorrow?"
"Oh Kami! He.. he looked so hopeful. How could I do that to him! Is that why….. he didn't come here? Is he angry at me? Oh no.."
She hastily ran towards the kitchen an announced to all of them,
"I am going to Ranma's house. I have to meet him."
A/N - And with this episode, we are entering to the third phrase of this fic :).. This means this will be loaded with so many new experiences. Ranma and Akane would develop a kind of relationship which will be so strong, it would be hard to break. The events will make Ranma take charge of his life and face his parents. This phrase will reveal all the hidden secrets. About what happened to the Tendo business and how the Tendo's and Saotone's are related? Why Mr Kuonji wanted Ranma to meet Akane. Here, all secrets will be revealed; finally leading to the scene we had read on the first episode. (Oh my... I need my BP medicine now :p)
Anyways, I hope you guys are equally enthusiastic as I am :)! Many of you might be wondering why this story is turning to this point. They could just come out and say they love each other! No... For me, it's not enough. Maybe they are playful in their relationship, but it's not strong enough for Ranma to fight for his love and for Akane to forgive him easily. I have to make this happen. I have to create the scene and situation where these two will become so desperate for each other that it would hard to break them. Ohhhhh I am already soooo excited :D.
Then I thought, Ranma has a wanna be fiancee that he is hiding from Akane; then why not her ;p! She can have her own secrets too! And with Shonnosuke things are going to be a bit more juicy ;p. Lastly, I promise you, you guys couldn't have predicted the twist I will bring here. I just decided to add the letter at the end to give you a small glimpse of what is coming next ;). So... Are we ready for this?
