Just a Simple Kiss A fanfiction based on Ranma ½ By Kris Thompson This is a work of fiction based on Rumiko Takahashi's 'Ranma Nibun no Ichi' a.k.a. Ranma ½ and was created for the author's personal enjoyment. Akane and Ranma sat in her room. She glanced at the clock. It read 1:48 in the morning. "Come on, Akane. Are you gonna do it or not?" She glared at Ranma, who was leaning back against the wall. "This is so stupid!" Akane muttered. Ranma sat up a bit. "Uh uh uh... you lost to me, fair and square! Now you gotta do it." Akane gave him a disgusted look. "Ah, you're making it sound bad!" Ranma's eyes grew wide. "What?! That's sick, Akane! And you're the one who says I'm a pervert." Akane huffed and stood up and kneeled down in front of Ranma. "Okay, fine: Have it your way. I'll do it." Ranma's eyes grew wide again. "You-you will?" She leaned her face towards him. "Yep." Then she grabbed his face and kissed him on the lips. Ranma's mind flashed back to what had happened a half an hour before... -------------- "Okay, Akane: your turn." "Hmmmmmm..." Slap! "There! How's that?" "Ummm, Akane?" "Yeah?" "The object of this game is to get the *lowest* score. Not the highest." Akane starred with a look of unbelief at the cards lying before her. "Wait a minute! I was just practicing!" "Yeah, right, *sure* Akane..." "Okay fine." Akane grabbed up all the cards and began to shuffle them. "Play again." "Ah-ah-ah..." Ranma said with a mischievous look in his eyes. "*This* time, loser kisses the winner." Akane adopted her own mischievous look. "You're on." -------------- As soon as Akane touched his face, an electric charge shot through his nerves, also causing his heart to beat so that he could hear it in his ears. He was also very surprised to find himself wrapping his arms around her, kissing her back. -------------- Akane almost let Ranma have a taste of her mallet when she felt his arms come up around her, holding her. Almost. She felt him kissing her back and was most surprised. 'Maybe...' did she dare to let herself hope? 'Maybe, he *does* l-l-lik-love me...' She mentally sighed a little as they kissed, feeling the tension between them dissipating and she leaned into him. -------------- Ranma let his muscles relax as he kissed her. 'I-I l-like her.' he thought. 'No,' he corrected himself. '*Love* her. I l-love her.' They broke of the kiss and looked at one another. "Akane, I-" he started, but she placed her finger on his lips. "Don't say anything." she said quietly. "It was just a simple kiss." If he hadn't looked into her eyes, he would never have known she was playfully lying.
