From: ranmasolo1@aol.com (RanmaSolo1) Ranma 1/2 :Training Based on Characters created by the great RumikoTakahashi, and used without her permission (or anyone else who holds the copyrights for that matter) Part 1 "I don't believe it!!!" "What's wrong now, Akane?" He sounded annoyed. "I forgot my tent." At hearing this, Ranma starting laughing. His laughing was cut off abruptly when Akane pounded him into the ground. "You deserved that." "Why? I'm not the idiot who forgot her tent." He said as he climbed out of the hole he made going into the ground. He was immediately knocked back in the hole. "It wasn't my idea to come here." "Hey, I didn't invite you anyway." Getting out of the hole again. This time however, she didn't hit him. "I guess you'll just have to sleep under the stars tonight." Ranma said as he came up behind her. "Oof." Akane elbowed him in the stomach. "Why don't I just use your tent?" "You want to sleep in the same tent as me?" Ranma asked still holding his stomach.. "Of course not you idiot. You can sleep outside." "I don't think so." "You wanna spar over it?" "Why not?" "No special moves." "No special moves." They went into attack positions and began. Akane did a high kick to Ranma's head. He dodged. She went for a series of punches. He dodged. "Aren't you going to fight back?" She growled. "O-kay," He replied as he swept her legs out from under her. She landed on her behind with a loud SMACK. "I won." Akane got up and walked away. "Stupid tomboy." Ranma said when she went into the tree line. Ranma finished setting up camp. When Akane came back a couple hours later, it was already dark. She saw that Ranma had already started a fire and had some food cooking. =Figures he couldn't wait for me to start cooking for him. With how often he tries to avoids eating it, you'd think he was afraid to.= "You're back." "Yes, I am." She didn't sound too thrilled about it. "I cooked dinner, and your bag is ready for you." He said as he pointed to the pot on the fire and then to the sleeping bag next to the fire. "You don't seriously expect me to sleep out here, do you?" "Why not?" the wind picked up just then. "Feels like it's going to get cold." Akane gave him a dirty look, but grabbed a paper plate and put some rice on it. She started eating, but her expression didn't change. =The worst part is, his food turns out better than mine.= "Well, I'm going to turn in now. Enjoy." "Idiot." She stated to herself. After she finished eating, she crawled into her sleeping bag. She felt something hard under it. She got out and lifted the bag. =That bastard. He had to have put those rocks there on purpose.= She moved her bag to a clear spot by the fire and got back in. The wind picked up again. She shivered. Ranma watched her from inside his tent. =Oh well, I guess she's suffered enough for tonight.= "Yo, Akane. Come on in." "Why would I want to do that, you pervert?" "Suits me just fine." He ducked back in the tent. After a few minutes Akane thought, =He's not going to offer again. EERRR.= She heard the tent flap unzip, but he didn't invite her in this time. She went ahead and pulled her bag into the tent. After her eyes got adjusted to the minimal light, she looked around. =He had it all ready for me to come in. He had this planed from the beginning.= She put her bag on the air-mat on the side away from Ranma. He looked like he was already asleep. She crawled into the bag again with her back to Ranma and tried to get to sleep. =I'm still cold,= she thought as she shivered again. Akane could also feel her teeth chattering. =I wish I hadn't come.= She heard something move. Then a zipper. She tried to look as if she was asleep. She heard another zipper. This time it was the one on her sleeping bag. =That pervert. What's he doing now?= Akane was surprised that she didn't make a move yet. She realized she was really curious about what Ranma was going to do. She heard a zipper again, then another one. She felt something against her. She started to feel warm. It took her a moment but, =He put our sleeping bags together. He's trying to warm me up more.= "Akane, I know you're going to be mad in the morning when you wake up, but you seemed so cold. I didn't want you to freeze. I hope you don't knock me too far away when you wake up." =Ranma?= =I'm surprised she let me do this. Hell, I'm surprised I did this. I know she's awake too. I thought for sure she'd kick me through the tent. Of course, she probably doesn't want to make a hole in it. She'll wait until we're outside in the morning.= The next morning when Akane woke, she noticed something strange. She was looking right at Ranma's closed eyes. She was facing him. She also noticed that she had her arms around him, and visa-versa. What surprised her though was how much she enjoyed it. She pulled him a little closer. =It's so warm like this. I really don't want to move.= A moment later she thought, =Of course I don't want Ranma to see me like this.= She started to untangle herself from him. As she was doing so, she thought about the dream she had. =Should I tell him about it? No, He'll probably just laugh at me and tell me I'm a ditz or something.= She untangled herself and went outside. Ranma woke up a couple minutes later. Well, no that wasn't true. He left the tent a couple minutes later. He woke up as Akane started to move. He didn't want to let her know that he was awake though. He knew she'd be embarrassed by how slowly she tried to get out. She was only doing it half-heartedly. =It was almost as if she didn't want to leave. No, that can't be it.= After he got out of the tent, he saw Akane sitting by the fire. She was getting ready to start breakfast. "Um, Akane. Do you want some help with that?" Her expression went from peaceful to pissed. "Why? Afraid I'm going to poison you?" She snapped. "THAT'S NOT IT!!" He exclaimed. Then a little softer he added, "I just thought I'd see if you wanted any help. That's all." He sounded sincere. Akane quickly lost her anger and motioned for him to come closer. =Uh oh, He thought, She's going to get me as soon as I get closer.= "I accept your offer." She replied as he sat next to her. Ranma was surprised, and it showed. Akane decided it was better to ignore his surprise. They started to work together on the meal. After fifteen minutes they were eating. Both had slowly started to eat, but they both gobbled it down. Together they had made a meal that was better than either had alone. "Ranma?" He looked up at her. "I had an interesting dream last night. Would you like to hear about it?" He noticed how reluctant she was to ask. "Sure. Go ahead." "O-kay, It started off with pictures of you as a girl and your father as a panda." He didn't interrupt, but he did look interested." It seemed like I was watching TV. Then I saw just about everyone we know appear one by one, and everyone was running. The screen filled up with them. Then I was next to you, and um..." She blushed as she thought about it. "..Dancing. I even got a close up of my..."She became even redder. "...my backside." Ranma looked even more interested. =I wonder why he's looking at me like that?= =Hate to think it, but I wouldn't mind seeing that.= He thought. "Then everyone was running again and individual pictures flashed with the running figures. And at the end, you and I were next to each other and leaned on each other back to back. I even had my long hair. There was even a song in it. It wasn't my voice, but it did sound as if it was meant to be me singing to you." she finished. [Author's note: Anyone who has seen the first TV series should have figured out by now that Akane's dream was the opening to the show.] "Sounds interesting. Do you remember the song?" He asked. Akane blushed again, and Ranma couldn't help but think how cute she looked when she blushed. "Yes." "Could you tell me how it went?" She closed her eyes, stood up, and started singing. [Author's note: Akane is singing it a little slower and sweeter than it is on the credits.] Yappa paa, yappa paa -- don't know what to do My heart is not a game -- it's mah-jongg to you. Yappa paa, yappa paa -- feel like such a shrew Who needs boys? Don't you dare -- Make me wild like you. Before you, boys got on their knees Ranma, Ranma -- it's me you always tease. Since the day I ran into you Ranma, Ranma you -- Stole my heart and you -- Don't you dare go and -- Make me wild like you. Somebody tell me why it's so hard To say those three words, "I love you"? If I let myself give into you I'll become just as -- wild as you! Before you come in like a breeze Won't you stop and ring the bell, please? Why not let me love you on my own? I'd be better off without you -- But just tonight it's all right... Until tomorrow, all right. Every time your eyes turn to me Ranma, Ranma you -- Make me feel dizzy. Someday we may be more than "friends" Ranma, Ranma you've Gone and done it true -- Can't you see that you've -- Made me wild like you. As Akane sang the song her face just kept blushing more and more. Ranma almost though her face would explode. Akane opened her eyes and looked at Ranma. =He's blushing. I can't believe how red he is. It looks like his face is about to explode.= Then another thought came to her. =How red am I?= "You know, Akane," =Here it comes, he's going to laugh.= "That was very beautiful." Her jaw dropped and eyes bugged out. =It was beautiful?= "Oh Ranma, do you mean that?" =She sounds so sweet, and she looks so cute.= "Yes, I do." He paused a moment. "Just one question." He Smiled. "Yes?" =Here it comes=, she thought. "Have I really made you wild like me?" He was still smiling, and it was a good-hearted smile. That smile gave her an idea. She got a mischievous grin of her lips. "What do you think?" She asked as she crouched down and mimicked Ranma's stance when he started the "Cat Fist" technique. Ranma realized what she was doing, got up and grinned. "Here kitty, kitty...Here Kitty, kitty." He responded. Akane pounced on him and meowed. He caught her and they both landed on the ground. They rolled around wrestled on the ground. Akane suddenly jumped away and landed, ready to pounce. When she did, Ranma went to block, but she landed on his lap, mimicking what he had once done to her. She made some purring sounds. Ranma saw another mischievous grin on her face and started to worry. =Oh, man. I hope she doesn't do anything painful down their=, he thought about his manhood. What happened next surprised him. She looked at him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips, once again mimicking what he'd done to her. Ranma couldn't believe it. Akane crawled off him and sat down. "How was that?" She asked with a smile. Ranma couldn't speak. All he could manage was a few gurgles. She giggled. That brought him around. "You, know what? Earlier I was thinking how cute you looked..." She looked surprised. "But you're giggling convinced me otherwise.." She started to clench her fist. "..You're beautiful." She was stunned. He took advantage of that and got close to her. He kissed her passionately. She regained enough composure to kiss him back. The kiss went on for a couple minutes when they both realized what they were doing. At the exact same time, they stopped and looked at each other. Both looked pretty sheepish. "Um...Akane." "Yes, Ranma." "No matter what I might say later, I want you to remember one thing...." A pause. "I meant what I said. You are beautiful." Akane felt a tear in her eye. "Oh Ranma." She said it very sweetly and femininely. Then, she kissed him again. He kissed back, and they kept going until they gradually let it end on it's own. Epilogue: Kasumi greeted Akane and Ranma when they came in. "How was the trip?" "Well, lets see, Akane never got a chance to cook, so we're still alive. Of course that was the only thing that went right." Ranma put his pack down. "I know I packed my tent. Don't get mad at me because you had to sleep outside." Akane dropped her pack as well. "Tomboy." "Pervert." "Un-cute." Ranma and Akane argued as they went up the stairs. =I guess my plan hadn't worked then. Poor Ranma. Had I known Akane would just take his tent instead of them sharing it, I never would have taken Akane's tent out of her pack.= Kasumi thought as she picked up Akane's pack. Something fell out. Kasumi picked up Akane's notebook. She saw some words written on a page and couldn't help reading them. [Yappa paa, yappa paa -- don't know what to do] a little farther [Ranma, Ranma you --Stole my heart and you --] farther still [Somebody tell me why it's so hard To say those three words, "I love you"?] finally [Ranma, Ranma you've Gone and done it true -- Can't you see that you've -- Made me wild like you.] There was even a little heart at the end. Kasumi put the notebook back in the bag and went upstairs. She heard Ranma and Akane talking in Akane's room. "Do you think she believed us?" Ranma asked. "Hard to tell. I think she did though." Akane replied. "That's good. We have enough problem's with our families as it is. We don't want them to know about us yet." "How Long do you think we can keep this up?" "A while at least. We generally have time to ourselves here, and if we want to really be alone, all I have to do is say 'I'm going on a training trip' and our fathers will make me take you with." "Yeah, but what if they don't?" Kasumi stopped listening at that point and thought to herself, =Don't worry little sister, If our father and Mr. Saotome don't bring it up, I will.= She smiled as she went back down the stairs to finish her housework. end part 1 O-kay this is my second posting. I hope to have gotten out all the bugs so now there should be quotes and such in this post. This storey will (if all goes well) be posted in 4 parts. All of which are fully writen already. I post the rest in a couple days. I do want to make sure this posting doesn't end up as bad as my last one. The song translation is VIz's and I believe done by Trish Ledoux. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry. I'd like to give a special thanks to Neil Robertson for doing a quick editing job for me ( So blame him for all the misspellings and bad grammer) Just kidding. :-) I hope you all like this story.. Please send all comments to RanmaSolo@aol.com. (sigh) I hope this works. Hello Again. Here is the second Part of my Training Fic (Like that wasn't obvious). Once again, the Characters were created by Rumiko Takahashi and used without permission. I hope you all enjoy this part as much as the last (I assuming you liked the last one, since you're reading this one). Training Part 2 By Kurt Krause "Come on Akane, Lets see them." Ranma said smugly. =I can't believe I won.= =I can't believe I lost. = Thought Akane. =Especially to Ranma.= On the ground, were cards. It looks as if they're playing poker, but they don't have any chips or yen. However there is a small pile of clothes next to both Akane and Ranma. Next to Ranma, were his pants and shoes. Next to Akane, were her shoes, socks, and a pair of shorts. She was doing as best a job as possible hiding her panties under her shirt. Ranma still had a smirk on his face and Akane looked really embarrassed.. "You're not really going to make me do this are you?" She asked. "Would you have made me, if you had won?" She smiled and blushed, "Yes." "Well, there you go." "But that's different. I'm a girl. You're a boy. It's not the same." "Come on, Akane, lets see them. You lost." "You've seen them before. Why do you want to see them now?" "Because I won." "Please, Ranma." "O-kay. If you don't want to finish, that's o-kay. I didn't think you'd have the guts to though." Akane looked angry. "Don't have the guts to, huhh." She said as she pulled her shirt and bra off. "How's this." she demanded. =I don't believe that worked=, Ranma thought. "Beautiful." He smiled. Akane went from being angry, to blushing. The realization of what she did hit her, along with something else. =He tricked me. He tricked me. I don't believe it. He actually goaded me into taking most of my clothes off.= "Shall we continue?" she asked. =I'm going to get the rest of his clothes before he can get mine.= "Umm.. Akane, you only have one thing left to bet." Ranma said, not taking his eyes off her naked breasts. "I still have my shirt and boxers." "Well, lets go for winner takes all then. "She said with a smile. Akane dealt out the cards. "We only get one discard and redraw." Ranma still looked at her breasts. "Ranma, Ranma, RANMA!!!!!." "Huh, oh what?" "Are you going to play or look at my chest?" "Um...Look at your chest." {BONGGGGGGGG} "OW! Why'd you through that pot at me?!" "Why do you think?!" "Oh jeez, Akane, We are engaged after all. I'll be looking at them sometime." "Not if you don't win this hand you pervert." She smiled a sly smile and looked at her cards. =No need to discard. Your shorts our mine, Ranma.= She almost laughed but controlled herself. Ranma discarded three. He looked nervous. =Your shorts are definitely mine.= "Done?" He asked sheepishly. "Yes." What'd you have?" "You first." "I know where this'll head, so lets show them at the same time." "You already are." He joked and looked at her chest. "Ranma!" He smiled at her. "Lets show our cards." She put hers down. "A flush." "Straight flush." He said as he put his cards down. She looked at the cards in horror. =He won. He won. He won.= "Now lets have those silky darlings of yours." He said trying to imitate Happosai. "O-kay Ranma, I'll give them to you, but you have to turn around first. I am a little shy." "I can see that, you're the color of an apple." He replied and turned around. An instant later he realized his mistake. Akane stuck out her tongue," NNNYYYYYAAAAA" She ran out of the tent with the rest of the clothes. "Come back here, you tomboy!"Ranma exclaimed as he ran out after her. She disappeared quickly in the woods. "Akane!!!" He looked for her, but couldn't find any sign of her, until. "Her shorts." Her shorts were on a bush. He walked father. "My pants." Even farther. "Her top."..."Her bra"...he smiled, "Her panties." He walked over toward them. "I know you're here somewhere ,Akane..." a pause."...Chan." When she heard Ranma call her Akane-Chan, she was almost thrown off, but she quickly remembered her plan. She pulled on the rope that was hanging down. "What the...?!" Ranma exclaimed as a loop of rope pulled up around him just under the arm pits. He rose off the ground four feet. Akane then walked out behind him. "Oh Ranma, are you stuck? Poor Ranma." She quickly pulled his shorts off. "Hey. He tried to fight the rope." "Nice butt." She said and smacked it. "Hey!!!" She then walked out in front of him. He noticed instantly that she was totally naked. "You should dress that way more often, Akane." "Huh?" She looked down. =I don't believe it, I actually forgot I was naked.= "Your naked, have me strung up, and pulled off my boxers, and you call *me* a pervert." Akane turned red with embarrassment. Epilogue: "It's good to be home, again." Stated Akane. "Do you to enjoy your trip together?" Asked Kasumi. She had a smile on her face. "It was O-kay. Nothin' major happened, except for a case of food poisoning." Ranma felt Akane's elbow in his stomach. "Oh my." Said Kasumi behind her hand. "Ow!! What's that for?" "What do you think, Ranma?" They kept arguing all the way up the stairs. Kasumi followed a short distance behind. Once in Akane's room,"Did you have to do that so hard?" "Don't tell me I hit you too hard." Akane stated with mock sympathy. "Only if this is too hard." He stated. Akane expected him to attack, but he put his hands on the side her face and pulled her in for a kiss. "MMFFFFMFFFMM" Akane responded just before she kissed back. Kasumi quickly walked away from the door. =Oh my,= she thought, =I really didn't expect to see that.= A pause. =It's a good thing they didn't close the door all the way.= More of those annoying Author Notes: Hey, it worked. I finally Posted it correctly. Everyone cheer for me... I'll most likely post the third part tomarrow. I hope everyone reading this will be looking for that part, then there'll only be one part left. Hurray!!!! Again I thank Neil Robertson for his quick editing job. and of course please send all comment to RanmaSolo1@aol.com Welcome once again to my world...HA HA HA..

Training Part 3 by Kurt Krause "Since we have a break from school with this semester ending, I'd like to go on another training trip." Announced Ranma Saotome. "Wonderful idea, son," said Soun. "Yes, you have been getting a little slow." Genma added. "Hey!" exclaimed Ranma, a little miffed. "Buy me something on your way back." Nabiki requested. More like demanded. "It'll be nice getting rid of one of you perverts for a while." Akane commented at Ranma and Happosai. A few minutes passed with nothing else said. =Why isn't dad telling me to go with him?= Akane wondered. =Hey, no one's trying to force Akane on me. What gives?= Ranma looked around the table. No one seemed interested in his trip. He looked at Akane. He could tell she was worried. =This is not working the way we planned.= He looked around some more. =They aren't going to do it. Oh man, I'm going to have to invite her or something.= =Am I going to have to invite myself?= Akane wondered. = We want to keep this thing between us a secret, so I can't ask. He was planning on being gone for a week. I don't want him to be away from me that long. This isn't fair. The time we get a chance to have more than two days together, no one is forcing us together.= She started to look tense. She wanted to say something but was afraid to. "Do you realize that this is the first time that you haven't told Akane to go with Ranma?" Kasumi asked. "You're right." Soun said. "I thought they have spent a lot of time together like that and decided to give them a break." "Yes, plus Ranma might not live much longer if he keeps eating her cooking." Genma added. With a splash, Genma was transformed into a panda. Akane was holding an empty glass of water. "Keep quiet."She hissed. "Well, That's a good thing anyway. I can have Akane help in the kitchen, while she has time off and away from Ranma." Everyone at the table suddenly looked scared. "Akane, you must go with Ranma. He is your fiancee after all." Soun exclaimed. "Yes, yes, he needs to work up his tolerance to poison too." A returned Genma added. Once again he was suddenly a panda. This time Ranma was holding the empty glass. "I don't want to die this week!" He exclaimed. He felt something hit his backside and found himself in the air. SPLASH!! "What'd you do that for!!" Ranma-chan exclaimed at Akane. "If you don't like my cooking, starve." She stated. "Well, fine." "Fine." Akane went back into the house. Ranma-chan got out of the pond. "Would you like some hot water, Ranma?" Kasumi asked. "Ah, yeah, thanks, Kasumi." Ranma changed and went back inside to pack. By nightfall, the next day, Ranma and Akane were at their spot. Ranma was unpacking his tent. Akane on the other hand, decided to leave hers packed up. They hadn't used two tents for the last five trips. "Man, that was a close one. "Ranma said suddenly. "What was?" "Our parents almost not making you tag along." "I know what you mean. I almost thought we'd end up apart during this break. It's a good thing Kasumi decided she wanted my help in the kitchen." "That seems a little strange, doesn't it?" Akane looked at him a moment. She wasn't too sure she was going to like what he had to say. "She hasn't really asked you for a while. She's been afraid of having you cook." BONGGGGG!! "Do you have to keep throwing pots at me?" "Yes. Until you stop saying bad things about my cooking." "Oh, please. You're the only person I know who makes a glass of water deadly." BONGGGGG!! "Shut up." "Your rice can clean off paint." BONGGGGG!! "Your soup is hazardous to the environment." BONGGGGG!! "And your the only person I know who cooks sushi." BONGGGGGGGGGG!! "WILL YOU STOP THAT!!!" "Stop making fun of my cooking." "Learn to cook." "I am." "It's not working." BONGGGGGG!! "STOP THAT!!!" BONGGGGG!! "QUIT!" BONGGGGG!! "I'M GETTING A HEADACHE." BONGGGGG!! "THIS MEANS..." BONGGGG!! "WAR!!!!" Ranma jumped at Akane and grabbed her arms. "I have you now." He says with a smile. She smiles back. "What are you going to do with me?" She asks. Still holding her, "Well, lets see. I could always tie you to a tree. That would keep you out of trouble." "Oh, please, don't. I beg your forgiveness." She acts like a helpless victim. Ranma looks at her. Akane is doing her best cute face. She does it well. Ranma loosens his grip on her. Akane escapes. "You're an idiot!!" She exclaims as she starts to run off. "Akane, Do you feel a breeze on your legs?" Ranma asks. She stops. "What are you..." She sees Ranma holding a couple of things in the air. One is her pants, the other is her panties. She turns beat red. "How did you do that?" "Well, when you spend so much time baby-sitting Happosai, you pick up a few things." He said with a smile. Akane started to laugh. Ranma joins her. Later that night, they get into their sleeping bags, which are conveniently zipped together. Ranma holds Akane tight. "I really do enjoy spending time with you." he confessed. "I enjoy your company as well." "You're just saying that because I keep you warm at night." "So?" "Why you..." Ranma starts tickling Akane. She wasn't ready for it and quickly succumbed to his attack and laughed her head off. After five minutes Ranma slowed and stopped. Akane is breathing hard. "You look very cute right now." "Oh Ranma...thank you." "I've been thinking." "Wow, you can do that?" She seems genuinely shocked. Once again Ranma uses the dreaded tickle attack. After he stops he asks her a couple of quick questions, and she agrees to it. Epilogue "No, I'm sorry, she doesn't live here." Kasumi answers. "This is the address I was given." The delivery boy states. "Well, she does come by now and then. If you want, you cane leave it here. I'll see she gets it." "Thank you." He hands her a package and she signs for it. Kasumi shuts the door. "What's that?" Soun asks. "It's a package for Mrs. Saotome." "Well, she and Genma are coming over tonight, so we can give it to her than." Later that night: "And it was delivered here?" Asked Nodoka. "Yes. Just this morning." Kasumi answers. "Hmm, lets see what it is." Nodoka says as she opens it. It was a video with a note. The note follows: __________________________________________________________________________ ____ Dear Mrs. Saotome, I know I told you and your husband that I wouldn't have this tape done for two weeks, but we got some free time at the shop and finished early. I sent it out as soon as we got done. You both seemed so excited that I didn't think you'd mine. Enjoy. Sincerely, Mike Mikes video service. __________________________________________________________________________ ____ "Well, I don't remember this." Nodoka says. "I don't either." Genma adds. "A mystery. Lets watch." Nabiki offers. They put the tape in. On the screen is a chapel. It is decorated for a wedding. The wedding march plays. They see a bride walk down the isle. She has on a short wedding dress that goes just below her knees. Over the dress is a lace white jacket. She also has on white lace pantyhose and while pumps. Her face is covered by a lace veil, so they can't see her face. "This doesn't look like our wedding." Genma says. "I wonder if this was sent to the wrong Saotome?" Kasumi adds. The picture then goes to the groom. He is wearing a nice suit, but his head is hidden by some flowers. They watch as the ceremony is performed, the whole time not being able to see what either person looks like. They can't hear the names either, since the sound is distorted on the tape. "This is driving me crazy!!" Exclaims Kasumi. Everyone looks at her. "Sorry." She adds sheepishly. They make out the words "You may kiss the bride." "Finally. Now maybe we can see who they are." Nabiki say. The groom lifts the veil and they see a close up of the couple. Everyone goes into shock. "Ranma???? Akane?????" They all ask not believing it. end part 3 Traing Part 4 (the conclusion) By Kurt Krause "So, how was the honey moon?" Soun asked when Akane and Ranma walked in. They were both startled. "Honeymoon?" Ranma questioned. "Well, you two were gone so long, we thought you ran off and got married." Soun replied jokingly. Ranma and Akane jumped a bit. They were both rather nervous. =This is not what I expected when we got back,= Ranma thought. "The trip was fine. Ranma actually ate what I cooked for him." Akane smiled and went up stairs. Ranma looked at Soun. "Yeah, but I spit it out when she wasn't looking." BONGGGGG!! "I heard that!" Akane exclaimed. "That's it!!" Ranma ran up after her. "Father, I don't think they have any intention of telling us." Kasumi said. =Looks like my little trick paid off really well=, She thought to herself. "I believe you are right. I don't think we should let them know we know." For a week, everything went on as usual. Ranma and Akane fought. Soun pestered them about getting married, and Kasumi acted like she didn't know anything. Nabiki on the other had, was making money from her father for keeping quiet. "Tendo, I think we should let them know we know." Genma said to Soun. "Yes, we have given them a week to come clean. It's about time we did something." Later that night: "Akane, come down. Father rented a video to watch and the Saotome's are here." Kasumi said from the bottom of the stairs. Ranma's here, Akane thought happily. =We can sit together and watch the video.= Akane came downstairs. She saw Ranma immediately. It took all her willpower to keep from running to him and kissing him. Ranma was also trying to control himself. "I hope this video is good." Ranma said to Akane. "Yes, so do I." They looked at each other lovingly. Kasumi was the only one who noticed. =This is really mean to do to them=, she thought, =but, it will be fun.= Kasumi smiled. When everyone was in front of the TV Soun put the tape in He pressed play. From the speaker came, "You may kiss the bride." Akane and Ranma both knew what it was. "Oh no." It was barely a whimper. They saw a clear picture of their faces and they were kissing. "Well, how do you like that, those two look just like you." Nodoka said to Ranma and Akane. =They, don't realize it's us,= Ranma thought hopefully. He knew that wasn't possible though. Akane looked at the screen a bit dismayed. =The jig is up. They found out. We are dead meat.= "It there anything you two would like to tell us." Genma wasn't asking a question. =They knew it from the moment we got back. They knew before we got back. Oh man.= "Not really." Ranma said flat out. "Akane, do you want to say anything?" Kasumi asked. "No...yes, do we have any popcorn?" Everyone was looking at Ranma and Akane. They got up together and started to walk backwards toward the door. "Are you sure you don't have something to share with us?" Nodoka asked. "Sorry mom, I ate my candy bar before we got here." Ranma said with a hope she buys that smile. Suddenly everyone started to run at Ranma and Akane. They turned towards the door. Somehow Genma had got to it before they did. Ranma and Akane ran up the stairs. Soun was in the lead behind them. They ran into Akane's room and shut the door. "What now?" Akane asked. "Open the window." They climbed to the roof. They saw their parents following. "Hope you're up for some roof jumping." "If you are, I am." They started going from rooftop to rooftop. Genma and Soun were following, and just behind them was Nodoka. "When do you think they'll give up the chase?" Nabiki asked her older sister. "When they notice that Ranma and Akane are a lot faster than them." Kasumi answered as she looked out of Akane's window. "Why are they chasing us anyway?" Ranma asked. "Maybe because we got married," She rejoined with a 'boy are you dumb' tone. "I know that!" Ranma exclaimed. "Isn't this what they wanted?" "You do have a point." Akane turned her head back to see how close their parents were. "We can stop, I don't see them." They stopped running and sat down where they were. They were breathing hard. "I bet they're mad because we did it on our own, and they didn't force us." Ranma said. "You might be right. They were always trying to force us. I guess they liked it better that way." Akane saw a shadow come up behind them. "RUN!!!" Ranma got up with Akane and started running again "They saw us." Soun stated. "Yes, they are good." Nodoka replied. "Let's go wait for them at the dojo. Maybe Kasumi will make us something to eat." They headed back. Epilogue: "Shhh." Ranma looked at Akane. "You Shhhhhh." He replied as they crawled in her window. "We don't want to wake anyone." "I know that." After they got in, Ranma grabbed her. "Come here." He pulled her toward him. She mock fought him, then succumbed to his will. They kissed deeply. "Gotcha!!" Exclaimed Soun and Genma as they turned on the light. Akane and Ranma didn't even flinch. "I think we should leave them alone." Nodoka said. "It's so beautiful." Soun said and cried from happiness. "Now." Nodoka ordered. Genma and Soun obeyed. end Training Author notes: Well, here is the final chapter of Training. i have no plans on contiuing it.
