A Ranma ½ Fanfic Matsunori Chapter 2 - Runaway, Just Runaway 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. Notice: This story is slightly on the 'lime' side, which suggests at sexual behavior, but it is not explicit. If this sort of stuff bothers you, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER! You have been warned. Akane slept blissfully as she snuggled closer to the warm pillow on her bed. She smiled in her sleep as she dreamed. Suddenly, a snore came from her pillow. 'Huh? What was that?' she thought. She opened her eyes to see that her warm 'pillow' was actually a snoring Ranma. Her eyes widened for a moment before last nights... 'events' came back to her. She glanced down to see that she was dressed in only Ranma's shirt, while he wore only his boxers. 'Oh my,' she thought in a very Kasumi-like fashion. 'I guess we really *did* do that...' About that moment, there was a knock on her door before it swung open, letting Nabiki inside. "Oh, Akane, Mr. Saotome called and was wondering if you'd seen Ran... ma..." she preformed a very un-Nabiki like pause at the site of her younger sister in bed with her 'hentai' fiancée one bright sunny morning. "And I see that you've found him..." Akane sat up, knocking Ranma off the bed in the process. "Nabiki, I can explain!" Ranma sat up. "Ouch! Whaddya do that for Akane?" Nabiki glared at him. "Ranma, *what* do you have to say for yourself?" Ranma's jaw hit the floor at the sight of Nabiki. "Erm... how are you Nabiki?" Kasumi peeked around the door, only seeing Akane. "Nabiki have you asked Akane if she's seen-" About this time, Kasumi has pushed the door the whole way open and has seen Ranma on the floor in his boxers. She then looked back at Akane, noticing that her youngest sister is wearing Ranma's shirt... Her hand flew to her mouth. "Oh my..." She turned to Akane with a look of hopfulness in her eyes. "Akane?" "I - I..." Akane looked at both of her sisters and hung her head. "It's exactly what it looks like." "So, all last night..." Kasumi started. "Yes, Ranma and I were... together..." "Great," Nabiki said sarcastically. "Now we get to inform the family members." --------------- *Later that day...* "He did *what*?!" Genma shouted. Akane and Ranma sat on the other side of the table, opposite of Genma and Nodoka. Genma, who now looked outraged at his son doing such a thing, now *that* was what shocked Ranma. This from the same man who had put him into situations where any other guy would have taken advantage of the opportunity, but he had chosen not to. Nodoka jerked her husband back down to a sitting position and looked across at the two teens. "Genma, what is done is done. There is nothing to be done about it now. We must simply deal with it now." She turned to Ranma and Akane. "You two must be married, and now. It is the only honourable thing to do, after such an... 'incident'." Both teens were quiet. "Well?" Nodoka asked. "For honour's sake, I will not marry Akane," Ranma stated. Akane gasped. What had he said? He - he wasn't going to marry her? Even after that... 'profession' of love? She stood and ran off towards the dojo, slamming the sliding door shut. She slid down the wall, her head in her hands as she cried. 'He won't even marry me... not even after all of that! I'm just his play thing?' she cried harder. 'I can't take this! I've got to get away from him and everything else. To hell with honour, I'm leaving. Now.' She stayed in the dojo until it had darkened outside and crept into the house and into her room. She gathered up a few of the things that she knew she would need and crept out of the house and began to jog down the road. She turned to look at the dojo one last time before turning and running into the distance. Author's Notes Well, there you go. This chapter was originally going to be longer, but after sleeping on it, I have decided against that, so I split Chapter 2 into two chapters. Anyway... Next chapter you'll get to find out what happens with Ranma and the rest of the Tendo crew. Should be... fun? Oh well. Okay, after putting this on Fanfiction.Net, I had a couple of good questions about this particular installment that I didn't think about before. One was about why Genma was so mad at his son for doing what he did. Number one, in my opinion, what Genma says and what he thinks are different. Take his dealings with Happosai. He and Soun both think he is an evil perverted old man and wish to get ride of him for good, but as soon as Happosai threatens them, they are kissing his feet. So really, I think that Genma just told everyone that in general to kind of get the two together, seeing how they're both shy (at least towards each other) and he didn't think that they would go through with it. Another question was when Ranma told his mother that he wouldn't marry Akane for honour and she ran out of the room, why didn't he go after her. Well, after the night before and their parents and all, he wanted to give her some space, a cooling off time to collect her thoughts. He was going to explain later, but Akane had already gone by then. Well, I hope that cleared some things up there. If you liked it, email me! If you hated it, email me anyways! If you feel the need to flame me, shove a binder folder up your butt sideways and maybe that'll cure ya? Oh well, if that doesn't help, and you DO flame me, I will deal with it accordingly. ^_^ Signin' off! Krissy cartoonpaperclips@email.com www.geocities.com/kuroi_hoshi
