"C-Can you teach me how to do that?" she asked. Ranma now in
familiar territory replied more confidently, "Sure Akane, but first we
should stretch out your sleepy muscles, eh?"
"Okay" she stuttered. Stepping through the doorframe, Akane bowed
facing the dojo interior, and stepped onto the main floor. Cinching her
belt up tighter and tucking the loose parts back into place, she sat down
and kicked out her legs, and started to reach for her toes on her left and
right sides. Ranma just sat cooling his heels, well squatted actually,
and watched her stretch.
"Want me to help you, Akane?" He asked. Although Ranma had never
actually helped any of the other all to few students he had trained, to
stretch, whether they were male or female, Akane did not know that, and
grinning slyly he also admitted to himself, seeing that this was one of
the rare times when they were alone together, that he also wanted to be
able to touch her without that damn mallet of hers smacking him into next
week! "I have got to ask her where the hell she keeps that thing someday,"
he thought wryly.
"S-Sure...." Akane whispered still facing the floor. "Oh my god he
is going to touch me again," she thought as her heart leapt into her throat
and her adrenaline level rose several levels. Shifting so that her back
was facing him, she leaned forward again, and Ranma, needing no further
encouragement placed his hands on her back, and applied pressure. The only
person that he had ever partner stretched with was Genma, so he was a
little surprised when Akane *yelped* from under his pressure. Looking down
he saw a slight grimace on her face.
"Oh shoot! I hurt her already!" Furious with himself, Ranma quickly
stood up, and started to form an apology. " A-Akane, I-I'm so sorry!
I-I-I " hanging his head he closed his eyes and resigned himself to the
mallet attack about to crash into his skull. A few seconds passed,
Ranma was still standing...looking up he saw Akane just staring at him,
with an expression he could only describe as concern or forgiveness, or
something else that he wasn't even ready to *think* about yet.
"It's okay Ranma just be a little more gentle with me okay? I am
not as strong as a mule, ya know," she smirked, making him blush using one
of his own insults against him. But inside her head, her world was
spinning! In her state of mind her knee-jerk reaction to his clumsiness
had been delayed, so Ranma had been able to apologize..."That was so sweet!
He actually thought he hurt me! He even tried to apologize, and was ready
to accept punishment!" Using a supreme control that she didn't even know
she possessed, Akane overrode her mind and body's commands to leap into his
arms and hug him to death.
Moving woodenly Ranma moved back into position behind Akane, and
placed his hands again onto her back. Applying the gentlest amount of
pressure, he started to stretch her out, "His hands are trembling!" She
thought to herself, although the now kitten like force he was exerting
wasn't really enough to help her stretch, she didn't really care at the
moment, just the fact that Ranma's hands where on her, and that he was
being so thoughtful, and careful with her...she wanted to cry!
Ranma moving outside normal stretching protocol, still crouching
above her, started to kneed the muscles in her shoulders. He had no idea
why, or how he even started! All he knew was that he was touching the girl
that he cared most for in the world, and she hadn't smacked him yet!
"I must still be dreaming." He thought.
Akane thought her mind was going to snap and she couldn't stop the
electric sensations from running through her body, his touch was setting
her on fire!!! She couldn't hold it back any longer and a small
involuntary groan escaped her lips. *mmmmmmm*
Ranma paused a minute when he heard that, then smiling stopped his
tender administrations, before he lost his last vestige of control.
Nudging her gently to a sitting position, he continued helping her stretch,
as she leaned over to her left and right sides, stretching sideways now that
she was done stretching horizontally. The sensations rapidly were fading
from her body. Akane took a deep breath and let it out slowly, commanding
her body to behave itself she put all her attention into stretching, as
thinking about Ranma was starting to make her dizzy.
"Well I think that you are ready now Akane...want to begin?" Ranma,
letting the instructor in him take control, stood up and again reached down
to help Akane to her feet, not even hesitating this time Akane stretched
her own hand up and accepted his help, since she also knew in the back of
her mind that her legs were going to be wobbly after the sensations Ranma
had been evoking in her. While standing however her clumsy nature reared
its ugly head, and she tripped!
Ranma didn't even think, he just reacted. Seeing what she was about
to crash into, he leapt with superhuman speed and strength, knocking her
back, and killing her momentum as he held her in his arms. The next thing
Akane knew she was lying on her face on something hard yet soft, pushing
herself up with her arms, Akane looked down to see what she had landed
on...straight into Ranma's face! He was breathing hard, and had a panicked
look on his face, wondering why he looked so panicked she looked up, and
saw to her horror, that if she had continued her fall unchecked she would
have crashed right into the weapons rack! Seeing one of the naked blades
of the katanas gleaming coldly in the early morning air!
Ranma, with his heart still racing, simply held her. Not really
caring what anyone would think if they walked in and saw them like that.
Akane's control finally snapped and she broke down crying! Sobbing a
panicked yet relieved cry into his chest. Akane let out all the emotions
that had been building in her since she woke up. Clutching her savior
to her she wept like a child. The fear of the moment quickly fading into
tears of joy and something else that she still wasn't that sure of. Ranma
would always be there to protect her, she had known that for a while now,
but he had just demonstrated it again, throwing himself unthinkingly into
danger for her sake.
Ranma, however much as he was enjoying holding his fiancee, was
starting to grow uncomfortable with her tears though. Whispering he
asked, "Akane...Akane, hey Akane, are you okay?" Wanting to check her
for any injuries but holding back since she seemed okay, and he didn't
want her to think he was a pervert.
"Oh Ranma," Akane managed to sob out. Not finding the words she
needed she simply stopped crying as best she could and relaxed into his
arms. Ranma was growing uncomfortable though on the hard wooden floor,
and gently he again demonstrated the mastery of his body, as only using
his stomach muscles he raised them both into a sitting position. Turning
her as he did so, with her ending up sitting crosswise in his lap, with her
arms around his neck, and her face buried into his chest.
Letting things stay as they were, Ranma waited for Akane to come
back to herself, and stand up. She finally raised her head from his chest
with an embarrassed expression on her face.
"T-Thank you Ranma, I mean it thank you." She smiled her beautiful
smile at him, and Ranma lost all lucid control over his mind. "Y-Your
welcome." He replied, wanting to say two very different words. Standing
up he continued to hold onto her, cradling her in his arms, Akane's emotion
debated with her pride on whether or not she should get down, "Oh I can stay
here all day", emotion said, "Shut up you wimp!" Pride shot back, "But I
like it here in his arms!" Emotion continued, "You are a strong martial
artist, and independent...stand up!!" pride snapped back. "Yeah?! Well
you are a freak of nature, now go jump in a Koi pond and cool off!" emotion
retorted. "Don't make me come over there and tear you a new...a new
something." Pride was at a loss on what she could tear in emotion. Pride
however eventually won. ^_^
"R-Ranma, "she said almost apologetically, "Um, I can walk fine
now, thanks." "Oh," Ranma said, looking slightly disappointed. Carefully
he set her down onto her feet, keeping his arms around her waist, almost
as if he was hugging her. The position they were in, and after what she had
seen earlier, Akane made a mental note to get Ranma to take her dancing
sometime. Grinning ear to ear she mentally pictured Ranma trying to dance
normal dances, or say, the funky chicken! Hesitantly she broke the embrace
though, turning her back to him, she looked out the window, and noted that
not all that much time had passed since they had entered the dojo. Turning
back to him with her composure back in place, Akane waded a little into
unfamiliar territory, she asked Ranma for help.
"Well are you ready to teach me how to do that kata now?" She voiced
with an uneasy smile. Cinching up her belt and taking a deep breath, Akane
stepped into the default "student ready" position, with her feet set
shoulder width apart, and her legs slightly bent, with her arms folded behind
her back.
"Um, sure Akane...." Ranma said, " Where do you want to begin?"
he asked. "Why at the beginning of course, silly." Smiling as she said so,
and giggling a little, Akane let out a little of the stress she was feeling.
After a second Ranma joined in, and soon both of them were chuckling
lightly. Recovering his composure Ranma started to lead Akane through the
kata. He corrected her gently when she made a mistake and cheered loudly
when she made it through the harder parts. Akane, for her part was trying
to pay attention to what she was doing, but inside she was grinning from
ear to ear.
"I never realized how patient Ranma could be, he is a great teacher!"
She thought. Ranma was having the time of his life, not only had Akane not
hit him yet today, but he was alone with her, getting along with her, and
in effect, he was playing with his fianc�e! Ranma felt like jumping up and
down and doing a victory dance and he almost laughed out loud as he
imagined doing said dance on Genma's sleeping head! While he was doing his
best to stay focused on training though, only about 25% of his attention was
geared to the form, the rest of his attention was staring at Akane.
"She really does have a kind of grace when doing this kind of stuff."
He thought. Finally they reached the end of the kata, and Ranma went to the
north wall and sat down against it, "Okay Akane, now with no help from me
lets see you run through it by yourself. " He said with a silly grin on his
face.
Akane got a serious look on her face, and resolving herself to do her
best for her fianc�e, she set into the kata, moving not too fast and not
too slow, and with all the grace and dignity that she could muster, trying
to dance through it as she had seen him do earlier, and with a slight smug
expression on her face, she admitted to herself, that while not nearly as
perfect as Ranma's demonstration, for the first time doing it, she was
doing great!
Ranma sat there in stony silence, amazed at how quickly she had
picked it up, "She must have really been paying attention to me..." He
thought. He had already noted several small errors in her form, but he
stopped himself from saying anything and thus kept his foot out of his
mouth, besides she really was doing great! Finishing she bowed to the
shrine, and then giggling she bowed to Ranma as well.
Ranma grinned and jumped up. He bowed as well. "So how did I do," she
asked expectantly. "You were..." he paused a minute to make her sweat it
out a little, since he enjoyed teasing her. Then before she could become
angry, "You were great Akane!" He said, "Much better than any other first
time student with that kata."
"Thank you Sensei!" Akane grinned! Then an impulse grabbed her,
and she launched a snap kick at Ranma's head. Ranma of course dodged easily.
"Heh ya wanna play dontcha?!" He taunted. Akane grinning crazily, launched
kick after punch after chop rapidly increasing the speed of her techniques.
Ranma adopted a more instructor like stance, and started to coach her.
"Don't twist your hips so much, that telegraphs what kind of kick
you are about to throw, try not to look where you plan on punching, don't
turn your back to me after that kind of kick."
Getting into the spirit of things, Ranma threw soft kicks and a few
punches at her. Akane instead of trying to imitate Ranma's speed, simply
blocked his techniques. "Harder!" She fairly screamed. Wanting him to
actually spar with her for once. She increased the intensity of her attacks,
trying to goad Ranma's anger so that he would attack her and stop his
constant dodging. But Ranma's training had conditioned him to accept pain,
and while a few of her techniques were actually connecting now, he refused
to use even 1/4 of his full speed or power against a girl, especially THIS
girl. Akane was starting to get angry now. She couldn't help it.
"Why does he do this to me? Why won't he treat me like an equal?
Why can't he just ignore that I am a girl for once?" Starting to glow a
slight red, Akane launched a suicide attack at Ranma, aimed right at his
head. The speed of her attack was a little too fast, and Ranma knew that
if he dodged it she would be seriously injured because her trajectory had
her going towards the window, and if he blocked it effectively so that it
wouldn't hurt him, then he would possibly break or sprain her wrist.
So Ranma did the only thing that he could do, he shifted his body so
that she would connect with his stomach muscles and braced for impact.
"Ranma!!!" Akane's battle cry came out as she rushed towards him, but in
the nano-second that she had between punch and impact her mind screamed,
"Something is wrong, he isn't blocking!! He isn't dodging either!!" At
the last second she tried to pull her punch, but her momentum carried her
the rest of the way, and she connected solidly with Ranma's torso. Up he
flew to the rafters and he hit with a *splat* Doing his impression of "I'm
a pancake" on the wall. Then he slid down the wall to the floor.
"Shoot!" Akane said to herself as she ran over to him, "He was
supposed to block that...why did he just take it?" Kneeling besides him
she looked down at the mostly unconscious Ranma, he was moaning slightly,
and Akane simply put her arms under him and held him, cringing as she waited
for his furious words. Looking down she saw him staring at her, and
quickly she tried to blurt out an apology. "Ranma I'mmm...sorry..." Casting
her eyes down she waited for him to call her uncute scream at her and storm
off, a tear slid down her cheek, as he wiggled out of her grasp. Closing
her eyes she told herself that she deserved it. Then Ranma did something
that she was totally unprepared for. He sat down next to her in silence.
"Akane..." he started, "Y-Yes?" she hesitated, "T-That was a good shot."
Ranma said forcing a grin. Noticing her gaze was still on the ground,
gently Ranma reached his hand down to her chin and lifted her gaze to meet
his. Showing her his eyes, which at the moment were filled with something
that was confusing the hell out of Akane. She didn't know how to deal
with this Ranma! He wasn't behaving like he was supposed to!
"Oh Ranma I'm sorry!" She sobbed as again she collapsed into his
embrace, and Ranma did something that Genma would kill him for, he cried
with her. Holding this beautiful girl in his arms, on this perfect morning,
listening to her sobbing on his chest, feeling her warm tears soak his gi,
and her hands gripping his back, Ranma gained a new perspective on life.
"Shh shh shh" He tried to comfort her making funny sounding cooing noises.
"It's okay Akane I'm fine"
Mentally slapping herself, Akane forced herself to get under control.
Sucking her breaths in slightly and her chest heaving, her emotions running
rampant through her mind and body Akane just sat there for a minute. "You
know you really do need to work on your control...."
Grabbing at the chance to have a talk with Ranma, Akane tried to
voice her concerns. "Why, why wont you ever spar with me seriously?"
With her looking up at him with those tear-streaked eyes, Ranma had no
recourse but the truth. "It's partly because of how I was raised and
partly because I-I don't want to hurt you Akane..." he trailed off.
"But I am a martial artist too ya know." I can take care of myself
"Yes but..." Ranma tried to argue, but all of the arguments that he wanted
to use right now, sounded stupid in his head.
"Besides I have seen you fight girls before." Ticking off her
fingers as she went, "You've fought Ukyo, Shampoo-several times and you
fought Kodachi as well...." Grinning smugly at him Akane waited for a
reply.
Ranma knew he was trapped. "Y-Yes that is true, but I don't think I
could live with myself if...if I hurt you A-Akane...."Ashamed Ranma looked
down at the floor. Akane's heart froze. HE CARED for her, he really did!
Whether or not it was.... L-Love...he still cared, and Akane threw away
the last of her inhibitions. She threw herself into his arms, and hugged
him fiercely. Ranma looking panicked at first, relaxed into her arms, and
held her as well, "This is the first time we have ever willingly hugged
each other!" He elated to himself. "I wonder if....
"His mind trailed off as Akane seemed to collapse into him, they were now
laying side by side on the dojo floor holding each other. The force of her
throwing herself into him had knocked him down. Tentatively Ranma reached
over and stroked her hair.
Akane was in heaven, she curled up into Ranma's side and pulled
back her head a little so that she could look at her fianc�e's handsome
face. Ranma met her gaze after about a second. They simply stared at
each other, both wanting to go further, but neither one knowing how to
broach the subject, nor did they know how far the other was willing to
go. Ranma gazed at Akane and looked into her eyes, leaning his head
forward moving his mouth towards hers, he stopped and waited and looked
again, blushing, and Akane nodded her assent. Grinning, Ranma completed
the movement, and their lips brushed.
His touch was like fire! Akane's whole body felt like it was
glowing! Where he was resting his hands on her back, she could have sworn
she was getting burned, her back arched involuntarily towards him as his
lips brushed hers, and she faintly *moaned* her assent again. Ranma then
leaned in and kissed her closed mouthed. His lips were somewhat moist and
the electric sensations he was provoking in her were making her blush
furiously and she tightened her grip on him. *moaning* into his still
closed mouth, Akane opened her lips slightly prompting without words for
Ranma to go further. Ranma in turn parted his lips slightly, and Akane with
very little control left accepted the tip of Ranma's tongue, this being
the most intimate she had ever been with him before or any other man for
that matter, Akane's head was swimming.
Ranma was shocked as all hell, she had opened her lips and was
sucking gently on his tongue. Unfamiliar feelings were building up in
Ranma, and combined with the heat of her body, the scent of her, and what
she was allowing him to do, Ranma allowed something inside of himself to
snap, and opened his mouth fully, sucking crazily on her tongue, and
rolling her over on top of him so that he could feel every part of her
touching him.
Akane was a little shocked at first when Ranma responded like he
did, but her mind was not in any kind of a state to stop, nor think
reasonably, and she let go entirely and felt herself falling the room
seemed to dim out of view, and then she closed her eyes and let the
sensations rule her, caressing his teeth and sucking alternately on his
tongue and lips. Akane was enjoying finally letting herself be female,
even more so since she was doing this with HIM! Even more important,
while she was enjoying having Ranma touch her, the fact that he had been
so kind and open with her, and the way he was behaving, meant the
to her.
Ranma also in his own little world where only Akane existed was
starting to feel TOO light headed, and so gently he broke the kiss.
His head was swimming, he looked up at Akane and saw a flushed face,
lightly coated with sweat and a happy grin plastered across it.
She was panting slightly,and neither one of them knew what to say.
Akane however noticed the position of the sun, and the fear of
someone walking in on them overpowered her desire to lay on Ranma all day.
Gently she rolled off of him, and sat facing him. "Ranma I-----"
"Shhhhh" he said gently not wanting to spoil the moment. He turned
her so that she was facing away from him, and placing his back against the
wall he pulled her back to sit in between his legs. Gently he pulled her
to lay back against his chest, lovingly he ran his fingers through her
hair, and felt as she adjusted her gi modestly as she sat lying against
him. Their moment was shattered however when Kasumi's high pitched voice
rang out from the household, "Breakfast everyone!" Faint stumbling sounds
could be heard from the direction of the house, which could only have
Genma stumbling-falling down the stairs.
Akane leapt away from Ranma, and as he got up , they both just
kind of stood there, neither sure how to end the moment nor if anything
was necessary to say. Akane still giddy and way to confused, with emotions
and feeling still running through her, simply smiled at Ranma and turned
her back to him and walked out of the dojo. Ranma following suit, though
after he exited the dojo, he leapt up to the roof top and into his room, so
he could come down the stairs and therefore not raise any suspicions.
Humming quietly to himself, Ranma walked down the stairs this time.
Pausing at the landing to simply watch his new family. Genma as usual
trying to inhale everything, even the plates if he wasn't careful, Soun
sitting at the head of the table with a toothbrush in his mouth reading the
morning paper. Nabiki yawning into her teacup and looking disheveled.
Kasumi looking perfect as always sitting by Nabiki and refilling their
plates and Akane sitting at her usual spot next to Ranma's eating daintily.
With a grin Ranma waltzed into the room, and sat next to Akane, not saying
anything he simply smiled at her and sat down and started eating. No one
seemed to notice, and Akane just blushed as she looked up, then continued
eating.
