============================================

Akane shielded her eyes from the afternoon sun as she walked home from 
school. A slight golden gleam from her hand made her squinch her eyes 
in response to the glare. In her other hand she carried her school bag, 
swinging it casually as she walked. On the fence beside her walked a 
slightly damp Ranma. 

"You didn't have to laugh like you did." Her statement was directed 
toward Ranma, but she didn't look in his direction.

"What?" Akane's words got his attention, but not his understanding. 
"What are you talking about, Akane?"

"You know, last night. You didn't have to laugh like that, it was 
embarrassing enough already without you laughing at me." To emphasize 
her feelings, she kicked at a small stone in front of her and sent it 
rolling down the street.

"But it was funny, Akane! I couldn't help myself, it just made me think 
of you doing that in class or at dinner or anywhere else. Heh, the look 
on your face was incredible."

Akane grimaced in embarrassment and then started to scowl as Ranma's 
chuckling grew into laughter. She stomped over to the fence where Ranma 
was walking and kicked it. "Pervert!"

Ranma lost his balance and started to fall. Quickly he grabbed the top 
of the fence with his arms and a leg and kept from falling off the 
fence. "Tomboy!" He shouted as he stuck out his tongue at her. Akane 
swung her school bag at Ranma's head in response, but he scrambled out 
of the way.

"Oh come on, Akane. It was just the two of us, no one else heard what 
you did." Ranam was again on top of the fence, walking at a slightly 
faster pace than before. 

The scowl on Akane's face slowly disappeared as she thought about last 
night. "It was still embarrassing." She hung heard head as she slowed 
her pace.

At her words Ranma paused and looked at her. As she caught up to him, 
he jumped down to the street. He walked up to her and put both hands on 
her shoulders. "You've got to be able to laugh at yourself, Akane. 
Didn't we have a good time afterward? I don't take myself seriously all 
the time, and neither should you." As he spoke, he massaged her 
shoulders and neck muscles.

"Hmmmm. I guess your right, we did have fun later." Akane closed her 
eyes and enjoyed the shoulder rub. A small sigh escaped her lips as she 
felt Ranma kiss her neck. "That feels good." She murmured as he 
continued with the small kisses. The feeling of Ranma lightly blowing 
on her neck caused her to shiver. She sighed again as she felt his lips 
on her neck with his mouth open. His tongue tickled her skin and she 
felt him blowing on her neck, but his lips prevented the air from 
escaping.

"Frrrrrrrtttttt."

"Hey!" Shouted Akane as she pulled away from Ranma and slapped her hand 
on her neck. She rubbed the spot where he had kissed her. This caused 
the ring on her finger to sparkle in the sunlight.

"See?" Ranma made a goofy grin as Akane stared at him. Soon she 
returned the smile and started giggling.

"I guess your right, but you can be such a pervert at times." Akane 
turned and continued on down the street. "Hurry up, slowpoke. Your 
parents are supposed to visit us tonight and I want to help Kasumi with 
the dinner."

"Not if I get there first!" Ranma made a face at her as he ran past. 

"No you won't!" Akane chased after him and pick up a large stone lying 
nearby. With a heave she tossed the stone at him and knocked him down. 
"It's my turn tonight and you're not going to interfere." And with that 
she sprinted down the street and around the corner.

Ranma sat up and rubbed the back of his head. "Tomboy." He said as he 
got up and ran after her. The smile still on his face.
