*Six years,* I thought as I hopped off the train 
car before it stopped at the Nerima station.

That's how long it 's been . Six long, 
hard years, but the only good thing to come from 
it was I now know who I loved. Love more than anything 
in the world. Akane Tendo. 

*I wonder if her cooking has been declared a chemical
weapon yet?* Then I sighed. *Even her cooking would be
better than a year of 'bleah' prison food.*

A quick sprint takes me away from the tracks before anyone 
can notice how I left the train. It would definitely be 
a bad thing if I got thrown in jail on my first day 
back. I smiled slightly as a vision of her filled my 
mind.  

My heart started to race and I decide that I have to 
see her now. Hold her in my arms and tell her that I 
love her before something else keeps us apart.

So I begin to hop the roofs. Some people actually see 
me and I hear snippets of their reaction.

"Who is that?!?"

"Aw man, I wish I could do that!"

"That sure looked like Ranma Saotome but that's impossible. I 
heard he's ..."

"I don't know who he is but he sure is cute!"

A part of me wants to shout out ' Sorry, I' m spoken for!' but 
it dies when I see my destination.  The front gate of the dojo.
I land on the last roof and almost start down when the gate 
opens and..I see her.

Her hair is longer and she looks older but it's her. She's wearing 
jeans and a T-shirt that fit her perfectly. 

*God, she 's more beautiful than ever.*

 I watch her as she looked back shouted:

"You'd better hurry up! You're running late!"

"I know! I know!"

The male voice that called back took me by surprise. The man that 
comes out a few seconds later I don't recognize at all.

* I wonder who that is? Must be Kasumi's husband or something.*

He began to run down the street at full speed. 

"Hey idiot! Aren't you forgetting something?"

Her yell brings him to an instant stop then he turned around and ran 
back to her. 

"Sorry, " I heard him say, "Sigh. what would I ever do without you?"

"What indeed?" Akane replied, cocking an eyebrow that reminded me 
of Nabiki.

"Probably be a complete moron. Well, bye honey." 

*What did he call her?!??!* I thought as they moved closer together.

Then they kissed........

and my world shattered.


Why didn't you wait?
