PART 2: A COLD WIND BLEW TOWARDS THE EAST AS THE WILD STALLION FELL.
THE SCARLET CLOUD THEN DID FLOAT BY, AND WITH IT CAME THE CALM.
Note to Webdragon: East Wind: Tofu, Wild Stallion: Ranma, Scarlet
Cloud: Akane. I blended them into this cryptic title. Do you like it?
The entire doujou seemed to shake for a moment as Ranma slammed the
door shut and stormed into the living room. ìStupid tomboy.î Ranma
muttered angrily to himself as he continued to eat handful after handful
of chips, spilling them all over the floor until he choked and had to
drink some tea.
Things had not improved much with Akane since he and Kasumi were
formally engaged yesterday. Kunou had declared his love for Ranmaís
female half, which upset him to say the least. Ranma-Chan had gone out
yesterday at sunset, expecting to fight Kunou only to have him throw a
bouquet of roses at her and tell her ìI love you.î
The next morning, Ranma woke up from a horrible nightmare involving
Kunou and him in girl form. This did little to improve his mood as
Kunou confronted him again, this time thanks to lies and certain
photographs spread around by Nabiki Tendo. ìSo much for a relationship
with HER.î Ranma somberly thought to himself.
Finally Kunou tried to attack Ranma for supposingly sleeping with his
girl half. Ranma had made short work of Kunou, taking only one hit and
that was only because he was momentarily distracted by Kunouís photos
flying up into the air. Then Akane accused Ranma of having the photos.
Ranma proclaimed his innocence only to have Akane smash him in the face
with Kunouís bokken after Ranma told her she needed to be sexier to
catch a husband or so he personally thought after seeing the rather
bland photos of Akane in her training gi.
ìWhatís her problem anyway?! Why does she always assume the worst
about me?!î Ranma growled loudly to the empty room. ìI was just trying
to be honest! She doesnít act like any girl I ever heard about! Not to
mention sheís a tomboy! Why canít she be nice and stuff....like
Kasumi?!î Ranma wondered aloud.
As Ranma fumed over Akane and Nabikiís actions, Genma was hiding behind
the screen. As he skillfully retrieved one of Ranmaís potato chips from
the floor between his toes and ate it, he wondered if Soun had made the
correct choice after all by engaging Ranma to Kasumi. It seemed Ranma
preferred Kasumi because she wasnít violent like Akane, although
violence was a part of every martial artistís life, especially when it
came to his own marriage. He briefly shuddered as a vision of Nodoka
with her katana gleaming came to mind. If she ever found out about
Ranmaís curse....
Then Ranma suddenly walked out into the hall and Genma immediately
flattened his body against the wall. Ranma walked right past him as if
he were invisible. After he was out of sight, Genma relaxed and
couldnít help but feel some pride at managing to elude his son. ìFade
into the woodwork, thatís the ticket.î Genma thought to himself as he
patted himself on the shoulder.
Unfortunately his victory was short lived as Ranma came up from behind
his father and threw him into the Tendoís pond. ìAinít
you got nothing better to do than spy on me?!? Idiot.î Ranma spun on
his heel and walked away. A moment later, Genma-Panda emerged from the
pond. Instead of being angry, he had a look of deep concern on his
fur-covered face. ìI hope Soun knows whatís he doing.î Genma-Panda
though to himself as he watched his only son depart.
* * *
Kasumi knelt by her father as she gently placed a icepack
on his forehead. She could see the slight scar Akane had left when she
hit him.
Kasumi was surprised when she felt anger welling up inside her. She
had always been very protective of her father and now as she saw him
lying unconscious on the dining room floor, she knew she had to say
something.
ìAkane.î Kasumi said without looking away from Soun.
Akane turned to face her. ìYes?î
Kasumi then turned to face Akane and Akane flinched slightly as she saw
the look of disappointment in her elder sisterís eyes. Then Kasumi
slowly reached for Akaneís hand and firmly grasped it while looking
straight into Akaneís eyes.
ìK....Kasumi?î Akane inquired nervously.
ìAkane, I want to listen to me, not as your sister, but as our dearly
departed mother for a moment, may she rest in peace.î Kasumi said in a
serious tone.
ìW....What do you mean?î Akane asked.
ìAkane, I want you to promise me that youíll never strike out against
anyone in anger again. Okay?î
ìBut I didnít mean....î Akane tried to explain.
ìPromise me Akane!î Kasumi raised her voice a notch.
Akane was taken aback, not used to Kasumi raising her voice about
anything. She hadnít meant to punch her dad like that. She had been so
mad at Ranma over him calling her unattractive earlier that she had
lashed out at the Ranma taunting her in her mind and unfortunately, Soun
had been on the receiving end at the time in the real world.
She tried to hold in her temper but with boys attacking her every
morning for the past few months thanks to Kunouís speech, she had
developed an intense dislike for all males, with the exception of Dr.
Tofu and until now her dad. As Soun slowly opened his eyes and looked
up at her, Akane felt a wave of guilt wash over her.
ìO....Okay. I promise.î Akane said softly.
ìGood.î Kasumi said, satisfied that she had gotten through to Akane.
ìNow if youíre finishes training for the day, I need you to do some
shopping for me in a little while, okay?î
ìOkay Kasumi.î Akane replied as she walked upstairs to shower after
her workout. As she walked into the change room Akane wondered why
Kasumi would ask her to do the shopping since Kasumi was usually the one
who did it. ìMaybe it has something to do with Ranma.î Akane wondered
to herself as she undid the ribbon around her long flowing hair and then
she knocked on the door to the bathroom to make sure it was unoccupied
this time. When there was no answer, Akane undid the belt of her
training gi and allowed it to fall to the floor as she grabbed a towel
and slid the door open.
As she showered, she couldnít help but wonder why her sister was
willing to throw her life away by marrying a jerk like Ranma. She hated
to think that Kasumi was doing it against her will just to appease her
dad and Mr. Saotome. ìPromise or no promise Ranma, if you ever do
anything to hurt Kasumi....î Akane muttered under her breath as she let
the threat hang in the air for a moment before she finished washing and
rinsed the soap off her body.
As she did so, she looked down at her naked body. ìBetter built to
boot huh? Iím just as attractive as any other girl! Not that I care
what that pervert thinks!î Akane thought to herself as she walked over
to the bath and slowly lowered herself into it, a contented sigh
escaping her lips. ìI wonder if Dr. Tofu thinks Iím attractive? Akane
sighed to herself. ìIf only heíd look at me like he does Kasumi, just
once. Heís so nice and kind, not like any of the other boys at
all....î
Akane leaned back against the side of the tub and closed her eyes,
allowing herself to sink lower into the tub as romantic fantasies
involving herself and Dr. Tofu raced through her mind, causing her to
smile and forget her troubles, even if only for a little while....
* * *
The sun was slowly beginning to set as Genma-Panda and Soun sat on the
back porch staring up at the sky. Soun seemed to be in a good mood for
once as Kasumi approached them with a kettle.
ìHereís the hot water you asked for father.î Kasumi said as she placed
the kettle beside him. Soun nodded his thanks as she left and then
poured it over his friendís head, changing him back into a human. By
the time the steam from the hot water had faded away, Genma was once
again wearing his gi.
ìThings seem to be getting worse between Ranma and Akane.î Genma noted
somberly.
ìWhich just proves that putting my Kasumi with your son was the right
choice after all.î Soun replied with a smile.
ìBut Tendo, shouldnít we at least try to get Akane to like Ranma? I
still think the martial artist should marry the martial artist.î Genma
noted with concern in his voice.
ìNonsense, Saotome! Donít fix what isnít broken! Our legacies are
secure now and thatís what matters most! Donít worry so much about
nothing!î Soun said as he looked back at the sky.
Genma sighed. He wished he could share his friendís optimism but
something continued to nag at him, as if somehow this wasnít how things
were supposed to happen. He couldnít figure out why he felt this way
and that bothered him more than he cared to admit....
But when saw how happy Soun looked, he didnít want to ruin his friend's
good mood and decided to play along. ìMaybe youíre right Tendo. Maybe
I'm worrying about nothing.î Genma said as he pasted a smile on his
face.
ìSaotome, I'm so glad to hear you say that! Now whatís say we play a
game of Shogi while we wait for dinner?î Soun said enthusiastically.
ìIím game.î Genma joked as they walked back into the house, Genma
putting his fears aside for the moment....
* * *
THE STREETS OF NERIMA
A LITTLE LATER....
The sun was about halfway down now as Ranma continued to walk on the
fencetop. He had been wandering around Nerima for a while now, alone
with his thoughts and was now considering walking home when he saw Akane
walking on ground level towards him. He stopped and stared down at her
as she continued to walk, her mind occupied with something as she didnít
seem to notice Ranmaís presence. Ranma quickly rectified that.
ìYo, Akane!î
Akane looked up, startled from her thoughts. When she saw Ranma up on
the fence, she stopped and gave him a look of irritation.
ìWhat do you want?î Akane impatiently asked.
ìYou tell me, youíre the one who keeps following me. Keep it up and
maybe people will think weíre engaged after all.î Ranma replied in a
mocking tone of voice.
Ranma was surprise when Akane suddenly jumped up on the fencedrop in
front of him, a look of rage etched on her face. ìRanma! Take that
back or Iíll....!î
Akane paused and looked at her hand, aching to slap Ranma hard across
his face to wipe the smug smile off his face. Then Kasumiís words
replayed themselves through her mind and she slowly, reluctantly,
lowered her hand to her side, trying to calm down.
ìLook....I promised Kasumi I wouldnít hit anyone in anger ever again.
So Iím just going to pretend I didnít hear that.î Akane told Ranma in a
calm voice as she jumped down from the fence and started to walk away.
Ranma blinked in surprise for a moment and then snorted as he muttered
loud enough for Akane to hear. ìThatís good to hear. After all itís
going to be hard enough for you to catch a husband with your tomboy
looks.î
Akane stopped walking. It had gotten awfully hot all of a sudden. She
felt her hands wanting to make fists all over again and this time, she
knew these fists were serious. Kasumiís promise began to wither under
her intense rage....
Ranma noted her reaction and smirked. ìI guess thatís why you hate
boys so much, because they remind you too much of yourself!î he
finished as he began to walk away....
That did it. Before she could stop herself, she leapt back onto the
fence and unleashed a barrage of blows at a very surprised Ranma.
ìWHO ARE YOU CALLING A TOMBOY, YOU STUPID PERVERT!!!î Akane screamed
as she pummeled Ranma until he collapsed off the fence in a disjointed
heap.
Akane took several deep breaths, shaking with her rage as she looked
down on the helpless form of Ranma. She was sorely tempted to leave him
there on the sidewalk but as reason returned to her, she knew Kasumi
would be even more disappointed with her if she abandoned him. Akane
felt guilty enough for breaking her promise so soon. So with great
reluctance, she hoisted Ranma onto her back, supporting him under the
knees and allowing him to wrap his arms around her neck. ìDonít try
anything perverted or Iíll REALLY make you sorry!î Akane warned a
semi-conscious Ranma.
Ranmaís only response was to groan in pain. Akane sighed as she began
to walk. ìOh well, at least this gives me the excuse to see Dr. Tofu
again.î A dreamy expression soon came over Akaneís face as she
continued to carry Ranma towards Dr. Tofuís clinic....
* * *
DR. TOFUíS CLINIC
It was now dark outside as Dr. Tofu went about closing his clinic for
the night. It had been a fairly typical day, a few minor injuries, an
arm socket realignment, nothing special. Sometimes Dr. Tofu wished he
had more of a challenge than bruises and minor dislocations of various
body parts.
At least business was good. In fact, every since the school year
began, many boys from Furinkan High had been coming to him during or
after school hours with various injuries. When Dr. Tofu asked how they
got the injuries, they refused to tell him, as if they were too
embarrassed to tell him. But from the type and extent of the injuries,
along with long experience, he knew Akane Tendo had been the one who had
inflicted them, although he was preplexed as to why.
Dr. Tofu was about to turn off the lights when he suddenly spotted
Akane walking towards the entrance with a strange boy on her back.
ìThat must be her fiancee Ranma.î Dr. Tofu thought to himself as he
walked outside to help her bring him in....
ìLet me help you there.î Dr. Tofu offered.
ìThank you doctor.î Akane blushed deeply as Dr. Tofuís hand
accidentally brushed against hers for a moment as he took Ranma off of
her back and carefully carried him into the clinic. Then he gently set
Ranma down on one of the beds and examined him while Akane stood nearby.
The injuries to the boy were considerable. There were bruises all over
his face and his joints were severely dislocated. He had obviously got
into a fight with someone. It almost looked like....
ìAkane, did you do this?î Dr. Tofu asked Akane.
Akane looked down at the floor. ìUm....well....I....that is....î
Ranma rolled his eyes at Akaneís reaction. ìBy the time she gets
around to telling him, Iíll be in a wheelchair!î he thought to himself
as he struggled to get the doctorís attention.
Ranma tried to say something, Dr. Tofu leaned closer to hear him.
ìShe....did...this....to me....î Ranma croaked out. ìV....Violent
t....tomboy....î
Akaneís face flushed with anger at the comment as she lifted the end of
the bed up, sending Ranma falling backwards head over heels to land on
the floor. Dr. Tofu blinked in surprise and then turned to face Akane
again.
ìYou really did this to him?î Dr. Tofu inquired.
Akane suddenly realized what she had done and quickly dropped the bed.
She avoided looking the doctor in the eyes as she replied.
ìY....Yes....î
Dr. Tofu then laughed much to Akaneís surprise and Ranmaís annoyance.
ìGeez, some doctor he is!î Ranma muttered under his breath.
ìI....I didnít mean to....î Akane began.
ìI knew it! I knew that damage looked familiar. Only you could wretch
a joint backwards like this.î Dr. Tofu pointed to Ranmaís left arm as
he picked him up and gently laid him down on the bed again. Then he
began to fix all of Ranmaís joints, causing Ranma to scream in pain
several times as his bones were moved around and wretched back into
their proper place.
ìSo youíre Ranma huh?î Dr. Tofu inquired as he continued to fix
Ranmaís bones. ìIíve heard youíre Akaneís new fiancee.î
ìIt was our fatherís idea! He didnít even ask us!î Akane replied as
she glared angrily at Ranma. ìBesides, Iím not engaged to him anymore.î
ìReally?î Dr. Tofu was surprised. ìThen who....î
Akane was about to say when she suddenly realized that Dr. Tofu had no
idea that Kasumi was now Ranmaís fiancee. The full ramifications of
what this meant hit her like a brick wall. This was her chance! The
chance she had been waiting for so long....
She had begun to wonder lately if Dr. Tofu would ever see her as
anything but a child. She knew he had a crush on Kasumi, an enormous
one since he usually lost control of his faculties everytime Kasumi
would come over. She could only hope that Kasumiís engagement would
break the spell that Kasumi was completely unaware she had placed Dr.
Tofu under. Then Dr. Tofu would be free for her to love, not only as a
friend but as a....
ìAkane?î
Akane looked up, her train of thought interrupted and saw Dr. Tofu
staring curiously at her. How long had she been silent? She didnít
want to know.
ìSorry....um....Ranmaís engaged to....to be married to....î
Akane faltered again. She knew telling him the truth would hurt him
but she also knew that it wouldnít be kept a secret for long. She
mustered her courage and was about to say Kasumi when suddenly....î
ìKa....Kasumi....î Ranma croaked again, nearly in tears from the pain
of his bone realignment.
Dr. Tofu blinked in surprise. ìIím sorry. I must be more tired than I
thought. For a minute there I thought you said, Kasumi.î
The doctor started to laugh again but the laughter quickly died down
when he saw the somber expression on Akaneís face.
ìYou did.î She took a deep breath. ìMy sister, Kasumi, is now Ranmaís
only fiancee.î
Dr. Tofu froze. Solid. His hands ceased working on Ranmaís body,
leaving him with a few bones still left unfixed. ìD....Doc? This
really hurts! Are you done yet?î
Dr. Tofu didnít seem to hear him as all the blood suddenly drained from
his face. He looked like someone had just told him that his mother had
died suddenly. Akane felt a tug of pain at her heart upon seeing his
reaction and then walked over to him and gently placed a hand on his
shoulder.
ìA....Are you okay, Dr. Tofu.î
Dr. Tofu was silent a few moments more and then he seemed to wake up as
if from a dream. ìWhat? Oh no, Iím fine. I just fell asleep there for
a second. Iím tired....very tired....hehehe....î
Dr. Tofu nervously laughed as he placed a hand behind his head.
ìD....D....DOC....!!î Ranma screamed as the pain continued to assault
him. Dr. Tofu looked back at Ranma and stared blankly at him for a
moment. Then slowly finished fixing Ranmaís disjointed limbs and Ranma
yelped as a sharp pain went through his neck.
ìHey! That really hurts!î Ranma yelled at the doctor.
ìReally? Where?î Dr. Tofu replied calmly.
Ranma checked himself over and was astonished to discover he was fully
healed. ìHey! Iím okay now!î Ranma said in a surprised tone of
voice.
Dr. Tofu slowly walked away from the table as Akane smiled at him as
she spoke softly to Ranma. ìDr. Tofuís the best isnít he?î as she
gazed at him with affection and a bit of sadness in her eyes. Ranma
rolled his own eyes again as he wondered if she knew how stupid she
looked when she mooned over the doctor like that.
Dr. Tofu washed his hands, his expression unreadable as his back was to
them. When he was finished, he turned around to see Ranma and Akane
about to leave. They both bowed respectfully to him. ìThank you for
helping him Dr. Tofu.î Akane said with a smile.
Dr. Tofu forced one of his own as he replied. ìN....No problem.
Akane nudged Ranma who quickly said ìOh....and thanks Dr. Tofu....for
healing me and all.î
Dr. Tofu clenched his teeth as he replied. ìGlad to be of service.
Can I talk to you for a minute before you go, Ranma?î
"Uh....sure."
Ranma paused and turned around to face the doctor as Akane waited at
the end of the sidewalk. Dr. Tofu then spoke quietly to Ranma so Akane
wouldnít hear him. ìSo....what happened between you and Akane to break
up your engagement.î
ìOh, that.î Ranma replied as if discussing the weather. ìMy old man
and Akaneís dad decided Kasumi would be a better match for me since
Akane and Nabiki want nothing to do with me.î
ìSo....Kasumi doesnít mean anything more to you than Akane?î The
doctor asked hopefully.
ìWell....I donít know her very well yet but from whatís Iíve learned
the past two days, sheís really nice....and a great cook....and she
doesnít think I'm a pervert or a jerk. I guess I just need time to get
to know her better, thatís all.î Ranma replied.
ìBy better....do you mean p....physically?î The doctor nervously
stammered.
Ranma frowned ìThat wasnít really what I had in mind....Why are you so
interested in this, anyway?î
ìI....Iím just curious, thatís all! Canít a person ask questions
without having an ulterior motive!!î The doctor replied defensively as
he raised his voice.
ìOkay, okay! I just wondered. Geez, you and Akane are awfully touchy
about certain things. I guess you both have something in common after
all, huh?î Ranma said as he turned to leave.
ìWhat do you mean?î Dr. Tofu asked, confused.
Ranma glanced back at Akane and then spoke in a whisper. ìAkane likes
you, I mean she REALLY likes you but sheís too shy to say so. I donít
know what the big deal is but I think sheís waiting for you to say
something to her about it. But donít tell her I told you or sheíll just
get mad at me again or something.î
Dr. Tofu was in shock. First Kasumi and now this. He couldnít help
but stare at Akane as she noticed his stare and nervously waved back,
looking away, blushing.
ìA....Akane likes me?" Dr. Tofu whispered back to Ranma who nodded.
ìJust thought youíd want to know.î Ranma whispered on last time before
leaving and meeting up with Akane to walk away from the clinic.
Now alone, the doctor stood out on the walkway for a long time, not
moving a single muscle, his mind reeling from what he had learned during
the past hour and how it was going to affect his life from this time
forward. Then he slowly turned around, walked back into the clinic and
locked the door behind him. He then turned out the lights to the clinic
and walked into his bedroom where he laid down on the bed, wrapped the
blankets around him and tried to go to sleep....
Only to jump back up about ten seconds later, throwing the covers off
him as he walked back out into his office. Once there, he quickly made
himself a cup of herbal tea, sat down at his table and glanced at the
clock above the door to the waiting room. It was almost 8:30 p.m.
ìI canít believe this! How can they engage Kasumi to someone as young
as Ranma! Heís got to be at least three or four years younger than
her! Itís not right! At least I had the decency to wait until she was
at least eighteen before I considered asking her out.î Dr. Tofu
murmured to himself.
Of course there was the little matter that he hadnít actually tried to
ask her out even though she was now nineteen years old. Considered yes,
attempted no. He simply could not work up the courage to tell her how
he felt no matter how hard he tried. Everytime she visited him at the
clinic, he could only vividly remember her being there, as if a fog had
surrounded all of his senses whenever she was around. It was very
frustrating but at least he didnít have to worry about anyone else
dating her since she spent nearly all of her time at the Tendo Doujou
helping out her family....
....until now that is.
Dr. Tofu took a long sip of his tea as he continued to collect his
thoughts. ìAnd now I find out that Akaneís has a crush on me. All this
time and I never even noticed....Poor kid....Sheís really cute but sheís
way too young for me....î
Dr. Tofu sighed. ìJust like Kasumi was too young for me before.
Still, I have to say something to Akane....but what should I say? I
donít want to hurt her, not like Iíve just been hurt....î
The doctor was silent for a moment before slamming his mug down on the
table, spilling some tea over the sides ìNo! I canít give up now!
Ranma and Kasumi are only engaged right now because itís a marriage of
convenience!
Dr. Tofuís mind raced furiously. ìIf I can just convince Ranma to
marry either Nabiki or Akane, then Kasumi would be free again and I
wouldnít be interfering with family affairs.
The doctor took another long sip from his tea as he considered how to
accomplish this task. ìHmm....Akane and Ranma arenít getting along
right now but that could change with time....Maybe Ranma would be
willing to marry Nabiki if he could find some good points about her.
But good points about Nabiki? Thatís a tough one. Sheís completely
obsessed with money. Still, she and Ranma getting together is a lot
more likely than Ranma and Akane getting together by this point.î
ìMaybe I should have tried to show Ranma how nice Akane can be. Maybe
render him helpless or something temporarily so she could help him get
home and then heíll see sheís not so bad after all. I can still try it
the next time he comes in here with her....î
Dr. Tofu paused to take another sip of tea only to notice that it was
completely drained. He considered making another cup but then looked up
at the clock and saw it was now almost 9:30 p.m. and he needed to get
some sleep before he opened at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow. So with Akane and
Kasumi still running through his mind, Dr. Tofu went to bed....
ìFirst things first though. I have to tell Akane that while Iím
flattered that she cares about me, I canít return her love no matter
what, I canít imagine being in love with anyone but Kasumi....î
ìI can only hope that she wonít be too hurt....î
* * *
Ranma and Akane walked in silence back to the doujou.
Then Akane suddenly groaned. Ranma turned to face her.
ìWhatís wrong now?î Ranma said, annoyed.
ìI forgot to get the meat for tonightís dinner! Kasumi gave
me some money to buy it and I completely forgot! Itís all your fault
Ranma! If you hadnít distracted me....!î
ìMy fault!? Youíre the one that attacked me, remember?î Ranma
snapped.
ìOnly because you acted like such a jerk!î
ìTakes one to know one, tomboy!î
ìWhat was that! Would you care to repeat that Ranma!?î
ìYouíre a sexless violent tomboy with the manners of a baboon and the
looks to match!î
ìWhy you....you....do you WANT to go back to Dr. Tofuís!?!? It can be
arranged you know!î
ìCome and get it!î Ranma said as he assumed a defensive stance.
Akane rushed him in a blind rage and swiped her basket repeatedly at
him, only to miss every time. Then Akane abandoned the basket and
attacked Ranma with a flurry of kicks and punches. Ranma dodged all of
them. She waited for the counter-attack but maddeningly it never came.
Ranma merely smirked as he dodged the rest of Akaneís blows until she
was exhausted, breathing heavily as she collapsed to her knees from
fatigue.
ìSee? You may have got lucky once but Iím not someone easily beaten.î
Ranma gloated as he waited for Akane to attack him again. Akane simply
stood up and walked away from him. Ranma blinked for a moment in
surprise and wondered if he had gone a bit too far as quickly followed
Akane until he was walking beside her.
ìCome on, I was just kidding around Akane.î Ranma said.
ìHa ha.î Akane replied sarcastically.
Ranma frowned. ìMan, why do you have to be so moody all the time?î
ìIím sorry if Iím not all sugar and spice and everything nice like
Kasumi! I really feel sorry for her that sheís stuck with a macho
perverted jerk like you for a husband!î
Ranma came to a halt and glared at Akane but she continued to walk
ahead, ignoring him. ìAw, what does a tomboy like you know anyway!
Kasumiís the only normal girl Iíve ever met and quite frankly Iíd rather
be engaged to her than someone like you any day.î
ìGood!î was Akaneís only response as she soon disappeared out of
sight, leaving a fuming Ranma behind.
ìFine then!î Ranma shouted for lack of a better insult as he resumed
walking up the street towards the Tendo Doujou....
(Fade to Black)
To Be Continued....
Authorís Notes: Finally finished this part! I realize that Iím
following the script of the anime very closely in places but it is
necessary to keep certain events the same or similar so they eventually
branch out into new relationships and ideas.
I tried to keep Ranma as IC as possible and I think itís
possible he would have blurted Akaneís crush to Dr. Tofu considering
he almost told her entire family in the anime! Likewise, Akaneís
crush on Dr. Tofu is now reinforced with the engagement of Ranma to
the only real obstacle between her and Dr. Tofu....Kasumi.
What will happen next? Wait for the next part. Coming later this week
if I can get the computer for a while. If not, next week for sure.
C&C is welcome as always :)
Sincerely,
