Okay, I really don't know how this turned out because I fell asleep before I
finished it, woke up, finished it, and now I don't remember the beginning.

A Ranma 1/2 fanfiction =)

*****Ranma no Iinazuke*****
Part Five:
Aww, such a cute couple

Akane sat up in her room.  She was very confused.  She had loved
Ranma since...Jeez, within the first few weeks he had been living
with her family.  Still, she wondered why she had to go and kiss
him?!  She was embarrassed, but in a good way.
   She sat quietly, just thinking.  She wondered what Ranma was
doing right now.

Ranma, meanwhile, was flat on his butt in the doujou.  He had
collapsed from surprise right after Akane had left.  :Has she
been smoking something?: he wondered.  :She has kept her feelings
from me for so long, then she just says she loves me *casually*!:
   Sakura had smiled down at Ranma then glided off to take a walk
around the block.  Genma was busy having a private sake party
with Soun.  They were already quite sloshed.

Nabiki clicked 'off' on her recorder.  She was gunna be rich!

Ranma went and knocked on Akane's door.  "Come in," she called.
She somehow just knew it would be Ranma.
   Ranma walked in, looking at the ground.  "Uh, Akane...About
what you said earlier..."  Ranma looked up, trying to catch her
eye.  She decided to be difficult.
   "What about what I said earlier?" she asked, in an patient
voice.
   Ranma blushed.  "Did you...mean it?"
   "As much as what you said to Sakura."  She paused.  "And,
considering the fact that no one can lie to her, I would have to
say...Yes.  I meant it."  She waved and turned out the light,
rolling over to go to sleep.  Ranma blinked uncomfortably, then
left the room without being told.

:Damn,: Akane thought.  :He was supposed to kiss me.:

Nabiki looked cocky the next day at breakfast.  Ranma asked her
what was up.
   Mabiki smiled, as if that was exactly what she was waiting for
someone to say.  She pulled out her Dreaded Recorder of Doom.
She hit play.
 You love Akane? - Sakura
 Well... - Ranma
 Just say it, boy! - Genma
 I...I...I do love her. - Ranma
 (Sound of footsteps)
 Ranma?  Did you...mean it? - Akane
 Akane!  A...A tomboy like you?  ...Yes - Ranma
 I love you too, Ranma. - Akane
 (Faint kissing sound)
Akane blushed furiously.  "Nabiki!"
   Ranma put his arm out to stop her.  "What exactly is your
point, Nabiki?"
   Nabiki blinked.  "Aren't you embarrassed?  Don't you want the
tape?"
   Ranma shrugged.  "Maybe you can give it to Akane and me as a
wedding gift.  I know what I said.  I know what she said.  And I
meant what I said."
   Akane looked up at Ranma in wonder.

Genma smiled.  He was glad Sakura had come.  Her truth thing had
brought out and exposed their hidden feelings, and now his family
and the family of his closest friend would be united!

Soun smiled.  He was glad Sakura had come.  Now that she had
discretely exposed the feelings of Ranma and Akane, his youngest
daughter had a husband (almost), and his doujou had a male heir!
}Note: I'm not the sexist one here.  Its a sexist tradition type
thing.{

Nabiki swore inwardly.  At this rate, she wouldn't be making as
much as she usually did!

Akane and Ranma set off for school earlier than usual.  They
walked along slowly, holding hands.  Akane rested her head on
Ranma's arm.
   Ranma looked down at Akane, marveling at his good luck.  :So
cute,: he thought.  "Akane...Why didn't you tell me before?"
   Akane looked up at him with a playful look on her face.  "Why
didn't *you* tell *me*?"  She smiled at him.  "I wasn't sure you
cared."
   Ranma laughed.  "*I* wasn't sure *you* cared.  I still think
I'm dreaming!"
   "If you are, we both are.  And I hope we never wake up!"  She
laughed, and her face lit up.  She was so happy now.  Ranma
wished he had told her a long time ago.

The typical figure-shrouded-in-shadows was watching the two happy
lovers.  He recognized the girl as Tendou Akane.  He had been
asking around.  And the man she was with was...Saotome Ranma?!
   :But I thought that his fiancee was the Pure Innocent One?!:
the figure thought, confused.  :Unless...*Akane* is the Pure
Innocent One!:
   He stepped out of the shadows and directly into Ranma's path.
"Give her to me.  Give me the Pure Innocent One."

Authors Notes:
I've been listening to a very happy song, so I think that may be
why Akane and Ranma have finally admitted their love.  What does
everyone think?  (I say that every time, but only like two people
ever e-mail me, heh.  Maybe I should start asking them by name.
=) )
