She took the microphone in her hand and looked worriedly around ...

Truth or Dare (3)
Akane let out a loud breath, then just nodded in agreement. A girl clapped her hands and immediately ran to the start button. Carefully she pushed it down until it clicked into place. Akane looked around again and this time more in the direction of Ranma, where one could hardly miss the frown lines on her forehead. He seemed rather annoyed by the whole thing, but was still determined to listen carefully to Akane. Akane let her gaze wander from Ranma again and stared restlessly at the screen. Soft music played and Akane read the first few lines on the screen. "Something like that had to come!" she spoke to herself, but since she was holding a microphone, everyone in the hall could understand it. Ranma was not very enthusiastic about these words. Because he knew what that meant. But everyone probably knew that. Akane took another deep breath and then she started, in a clear voice:If I should stay, I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know,
I`ll think of you every step of the way.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
You, my darling you. Hmm

Bittersweet memories That is all I'm taking with me.
So, goodbye. Please, don`t cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.

I hope life treats you kind,
And I hope you have all you`ve dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.

And I will always love you. I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you. I will always love you.
I, I will always love you.

You, darling, I love you.
Ooh, I`ll always, I`ll always love you.

Akane had beads of sweat running down the side and she had to take a deep breath. This song came from her heart, but she would never say that to anyone. Especially not Ranma. He would just make fun of it.Ranma sat crouched next to his friends and looked at Akane. Very indifferent, he hardly paid any attention to his friends who were already chatting to him from the side. He just paid attention to Akane. The way she stood up there, holding the microphone shakily and smiling slightly, covered with beads of sweat. How he would love to hug her now. How like to just hold her, warm her and give her security. But he wouldn't do that now. Probably not the rest of the hours now and today either. He wanted to wait, wait to the point where he could do that. If anything. He didn't know how she felt about him. Whether she likes him too or even ... No! He couldn't imagine that. She always called him a pervert and said that she hates him. But that's exactly what he did. Ranma hoped not to be tempted in any way that evening. He would never forgive himself for that. It was Akane's turn now all the time. She had to kiss many boys, much to her suffering, and hoped this game would end soon.Incidentally, she looked over to Ranma from time to time as he sees the kissing thing. He pretended not to care and looked away every time Akane was supposed to kiss someone. She gave herself up voluntarily because she didn't want to be spoiled for fun. Then it came to Ranma. He took duty because he knew what the truth would be. "Now is the moment of truth. You have to do what everyone is waiting for this evening! You and Akane are engaged, aren't you?" grinning maliciously asked a friend of Ranma's. "Yes and?" defiantly said the Ranma as if nothing was wrong. with a chorus of the words "kiss, kiss, kiss ..." the two were shoved into the with. The two of them met tomato-red eyes. But both Ranma and Akane were determined to make this a reality. He put his hands lightly on her cheeks, and came closer and closer to her. She closed her eyes and propped her hands on her knees.Both enjoyed the moment, they felt unobserved as if they were sitting in an empty room. They paid no attention to the others. Akane could already feel Ranma's breath on her lips as she put her hands on his shoulders and pulled him closer to her. Their lips touched each other gently and yet both felt really good. They were lost in one another and heard nothing. Akane now hugged Ranma tightly and hugged him. Just like Ranma, who wrapped his arms around hers. You overheard the cheers of your friends ... you overheard the click of the camera, and ... the click of the camera? Akane broke away from Ranma and looked to the side where the noise was coming from. She scowled at Nabiki. But she just grinned and mumbled something about "Dad will be happy. And Mr. Saotome won't find it bad either." Nabiki ran away, and Akane ran after her until she was stopped by Ranma."Hey, don't chase them. We'll go home now, too, and you can beat them up. Besides, we'll just tell our fathers the truth," Ranma said straight into Akane's eyes. "Which would be?" Akane asked, turning a little red. "Well, that we only did that because we were forced to, and because that's part of the game." Ranma explained it so that Akane couldn't get it wrong, even though he meant it a little differently. Akane let her head drop a little, nodded briefly, said goodbye to her friends, and then went out the door. They didn't say a word to each other on the way home. When they got home, Akane had completely forgotten what she wanted to do with Nabiki and went straight to her room. She closed the door behind her and dropped onto the bed. "Was it all just for fun? Was I the only one who felt comfortable with this kiss? I feel a bit stupid that I imagined that there was more.Or was there more, only he doesn't want to admit it? Akane tormented herself with a lot of such questions. But she couldn't answer a single one. She ran her fingers over her lips, pressed them together and closed her eyes. She imagined again how she kissed Ranma, how they hugged , and how she had not felt as comfortable as in a long time. With these calming but also unsettled thoughts she fell asleep ...
It was autumn but the birds were chirping around Akane's ears. She was blinded by the sun and it was difficult for her to open her eyes. With a sleepy face and a morning yawn, she slowly straightened up and rubbed her eyes sleepily. "Good morning Akane!" it came cheerfully from the door. With a bedroom look and slanting eyes, she looked at the door with an effort. There she saw a Ranma standing in the doorway who looked at her questioningly. "What?" Just got Akane out and then looked at each other. "Did you sleep in your costume?I mean, I know you like to look like Julia, but ... don't you think you're exaggerating a bit? "Asked Ranma with a smiling face and caught the pillow that was supposed to land in his face." You idiot, of course I didn't do this on purpose. I was very tired yesterday and when I lay down briefly on the bed, I must have fallen asleep ...... "Suddenly Akane remembered yesterday again. She tried to save herself from the situation:" Besides, you don't have to care at all. I can go to bed with whatever I want. You don't have to tell me anything !!! "Akane said snootily and proudly." Yes, maybe that's true, but if they don't want it back because you used it as a blanket, we can pay for it. And that would even be understandable, I mean, who wants a costume in which a macho woman like you slept? No detergent in the world can help!"Akane ran out of pillows and she didn't know what else to throw. P-chan was too good for that, and her beautiful vases would only break on his stubborn head. So nothing special, in the Tendo house. Akane wanted to go to bed early today. She continued to write in her diary for a while, and when she read through it again, she looked very serious. As if she had made up her mind to do something She bit her lip and just nodded a little. When Ranma stepped into her room and bored told her that someone was at the door for her. Akane had not changed yet so she went down the stairs with a questioning look Slowly she pushed the door to the side (sliding door) and stared in disbelief at the person standing in front of her. With a happy face she hugged her old kindergarten friend Sarah. She is originally from England, but she didn't seem quite so happy ie to be Akane.When Akane noticed that this was a one-sided hug, she seemed a little puzzled. “What's wrong Sarah?” She had a blank look, and a tear pearled down her cheek. Sobbing but completely serious, she only said: "Akane Tendo, I challenge you to a fight. For life and death ....."
