Ryoga made sure to follow her. He didn't want to get lost and have Akari face this alone. She had somehow slipped into his heart and, well, pants. He really didn't understand how this all happened, but in some ways he was glad it did. However, the idea of impending marriage was scaring him.

Akari nervously adjusted her clothes. She loved Ryoga with all of her heart and would do anything for him. However, she had spent most of the past six months with him. She knew him in ways she hadn't thought were possible. And she had come to realize he was far from the perfect husband she had originally imagined him to be. She wasn't sure anymore if they could make a long-term relationship work considering his direction sense curse and some of his peculiar habits.

Akari didn't have the heart to explain to Akane who P-Chan was. She was more than willing to bitch slap Ryoga later for it. How that idiot could betray someone like that was beyond her. She understood that Ryoga craved the affection Akane gave her pet, but he should have told her a long time ago.

In some ways that was why they were lovers. They both craved affection. At least Ryoga got some while pretending to be a pet, but the only times she got any affection was from Katsunishiki. All well and good, but she needed more than a pet and he needed to be more than someone's pet.

Akari sighed as she entered the kitchen with Ryoga thankfully following behind her. This would go a lot better if her father at least understood her love of pigs. At least he didn't know about 'P-Chan,' he would never understand it.

Sorry, but this is not correct. Try Again.
