There was a calm wind blowing over Narima, the only thing that could be heard were birds apparently fighting over a worm. This natural soundscape was interrupted by a loud exclamation.

Akane: "Ranma !!!! You bastard !!! What was that supposed to mean !!"
!
Ranma: "What can I do for all the girls chasing after me"

Akana: "Sure, you idiot! You have an ego as big as Tokyo. As if everyone was running after you, at least not me.

Ranma: "Who should want such a block to run after you.

Ranma stuck her tongue out at her. This made you angrier.

Ranma: "And besides, who ran after me to Jusenkyo."
Akane: "I didn't run after you, I was kidnapped.
And besides, who had my picture with them? Hm??!"

Ranma suddenly turned red like a tomato. Akane's face went red too, because she was just thinking that she really didn't want to tell him that she knew.
And that she would probably have taken a picture too, because she is secretly hiding a picture of him in her room.

This lovely togetherness was interrupted by Kasumi's call to eat.
Everyone sat down at the table to eat. The soundscape could almost be described as a concert of smacking and clicking of food sticks and china.
It has been 3 months since the Jusenkyo incident. A certain normality has returned to the Tendo family. Genma and Soun played their board game as always and Kasumi, the good spirit of the Tendo family, was busy in the kitchen. Nabiki is in your room reading magazines. And again made plans to make more money. Happosai was on a training trip with Happy.

The only people who might act a little differently than usual were Ranma and Akane. Akane cursed Ranma as he always did when he made a fool of himself, but she didn’t strike any more. Surely this was an unusual change
The cause of Akane's outburst was the fact that Kodachi was trying to seduce him. And for a moment it really looked like he was going to do it.
For some reason Ranma tries to provoke you, maybe he's missing the beats, or it's something else.

It was getting late and the family said goodbye to sleep. The only one who didn't go to sleep was Ranma. He was in the dojo, staring dreamily at the wall.

Ranma's thoughts:
Stupid Akane, I told her I love you. She had never even told me, not even where she wanted to marry me.
I actually said it because I was afraid of losing you. I really love you, but I would never have had the courage to say something like that to her.
Stupid Akane. But she looks so cute when she smiles.
I wish I could remember the kiss when I had the first cat attack.
And why did I kiss you in the first place?(Sigh !!!!!!!)

Akane was in your room while eating. She was lying in your bed and was thinking about a lot. She couldn't fall asleep. She got up and sat in front of the window.


Akane's thoughts:
Strange Ranma is acting quite strange, even by his standards. Something seems to be bothering him, but what? The stars shine beautifully!
I thought it was so cute when he marveled at me in my wedding dress and complimented me. I won't forget the face so easily.
Why did he do that today and he was still looking at me cheekily.
I should have hit sometime. Hihi!
No, I swore to keep my sister's promise now. At least for a while until he provokes me again so that it no longer works. (Sigh !!)

Akane looked outside and realized that someone must still be in the dojo.
She sees a light down in the courtyard, and that can really only be from the dojo.

Akane: "Is that Ranma? And what is he doing there so late.
She looks at the clock. It is 0:00.

Akane: "Are the others already sleeping? Maybe Ranma fell asleep downstairs in the dojo."

She walked downstairs to see if Ranma is in the dojo, just to be on the safe side she took her baseball bat with her. You never know if you don't really need it; she probably thought.

Akane: "Maybe I should take a blanket with me. Last time Ranma fell asleep on the floor."

She went to the closet in the hall and took out a blanket. You put the baseball bat aside.
She went to the dojo and saw Ranma staring lost in thought at the wall. She watched him from the door.

(Akane) What is he doing? Should I go to him or should I go back to bed? No, I want to know what he thinks. Or would I prefer not to know, otherwise he'll offend me again. (Sigh)

Akane's sigh was louder than she had suspected, the Ranma turned and stared at you. He looked at Akane, then at the ceiling, and then back at Akane.
He gestured with his hand that she should sit down next to him. She gave in to this request very quickly, because she rushed to him. But then slowed down again than she noticed and got a little red around the nose.
She sits down, Ranma took the blanket from her hand. He covered himself and Akane a little with the blanket.

Akane: "What are you doing so late?" still with a reddish tinge around the nose

Ranma suddenly smiled at you, which confused you and made you look strange, and he looked away with a clearly disappointed expression on his face.
This confused you even more.
(Akana) He was expecting something from me when he smiled at me but what, I would have done it right away. I would have liked to have seen the smile continue.

Ranma: "Do you know Akane !? I'm glad that I'm here.Your father and my father made a good decision about us in my opinion. Otherwise I would not be here."

He suddenly turned red like a tomato, which he recognized what he had just said to her. Akane turned even redder than him.

Akane (stuttered a little): Ran. Ran. Ranma? What do you mean by that?

Ranma: "Well we would never have had the adventures together. I think right? Think of the 8-headed dragon, or the doll story or whatever else we experienced."

Akane: "You are right about that!" she said and blushed again.
"You said at the time I was in a better mood, I mean, when the doll dominated my body. What did you mean by that?"

Ranma: "Sorry, I wanted to annoy you a little, I also wanted to distract you from the incident. Nevertheless, I liked to be hugged by you until I realized that it couldn't be you, uh ... is. "

Akane eyed Ranma, and looked quite confused. Until she suddenly moved closer to him and hugged his waist. This confused him, but he let it happen.
You remained in this position for half an hour. Until Ranma nudged her.

Ranma: "We should go to bed now. Uh ...! I meant we should go to sleep now because tomorrow is school."

She looked at him and smiled until she got an odd look on her face.

Akane: "Ranma ??? You, are you doing me a favor?" The red under your nose intensified again and this time quite strongly. Can you carry me into the room, my feet fell asleep.
He looked at her with a smile and she looked embarrassed at first, but then she smiled back with a smile. Because of this, his smile shone even more.

Ranma: "Of course! I like to do it. Come on, you macho woman!"

He said that in such a loving tone that she just smiled.
He picked her up with ease and walked her out into the courtyard and in one leap jumped to your window. He opened this and went into the room.
He put you carefully on the bed and with a smile he said your ´Good night´. And then disappeared from the room again.
She looked dreamily out the window for a moment until she fell asleep.
