The beginning of love

Ranma pretended he didn't hear a word of that statement. He knew she would get worked up if he teased her for worrying so much. There were was nothing to worry about after all. Ranma did get into a lot of trouble and it has caused him to get hurt, but all of those situations have made him stronger. Much stronger. No one and no injury would stop him.

❝ So you decided that the moment I had to go? Could of had your own trip, but you wanted to tag along. Can't get enough of me huh? ❞ He stuck his tongue out and that smug grin remained on his face. Akane was a tough fighter, and Ranma knew that first hand. He's seen her fight and has fought her himself. She's not someone to mess with... yet Ranma found it so fun to made her mad.

As she stood in his path, Ranma was forced to stop. ❝ The sooner the better. That's why I've got my backpack and been making my way to the train.❞ His eyes clothes momentarily, then he shifted to open one to gaze at her. ❝ I guess if you're not ready to leave right away I'll have to leave you behind..❞

Ranma soon began to softly hum.

Here he goes once again assuming the worst from her. Almost makes her want to take it back and stay home to curse him out loud ( keyword : ALMOST ━ she's not willing to skip on this adventure just yet. Might take a little more nagging to make her change her mind ). ❝ I'm not ━ ! ❞ The initial shyness in her features turns instinctively into a complete frown, puffing out her cheeks in the process. She's being reasonable, amenable to his preferences, and in return all she gets are false accusations demeaning her as a nuisance, CLASSIC RANMA.

If her concern towards the other wasn't bigger than the headaches he provoked, she would be the first one in line expecting his departure. Should consider himself LUCKY for Akane's heavenly patience.❝ Idiot, I'm doing this because I'm worried about y━ ❞ She cuts herself short, turning her gaze away from him. Her clenched fists drop for good and a pout grows wider. Akane doesn't know why she even bothers explaining herself, he will jump straight to his own conclusions either way.

❝ Whatever, I can use this trip to train as well. ❞ At the end of the day, she's a martial artist just as much as him. Besides tagging along for OBVIOUS REASONS she has decided to keep for herself, a change of scenario could be a great opportunity for her own training. ❝ I'm ready to push my limits too, you know ? ❞ When Ranma laughs, she huffs. His path gets blocked by a DETERMINED GIRL willing to get her way. ❝ So, when are we leaving ? ❞ She isn't taking a no for an answer.

It was already strange for him to have someone approach and be worried about his fighting. Ranma never really worried how he looked to others, especially when he was in combat. Now suddenly this person was worried and apologetic. This day has been interesting, to say the least.

❝ I know it seems strange but, it's been this way my whole life. Though I will say, ever since I came back to Japan... it's like every other person has it out for me. I'm just trying to defend myself. ❞ He says with a shrug. Ranma wouldn't turn down a fight, but he would also prefer if he didn't have watch over his shoulder every second.

❝ You don't need to be sorry. ❞ He began scratching the back of his head, and expression of the awkwardness he felt now. ❝ I'm guess you're not around here often if that was so abnormal to you. Can I ask.. have you ever done any fighting. ❞

                                Maybe it was good thing she didn't really leave her bubble most of the time; her place of residence since the outside world could be UNPREDICTABLE. She was only in town to visit her uncle since her relationship with other family members outside of her mother was SPARCE. The scout figured that this part of town was going to be normal. FAR FROM IT.

                              However, Ami managed to REEL herself back in since, truth be told, she was indeed yelling at a stranger & that was UNLIKE HER. Slight embarrassment began to set in & threated to creep up & present itself on her person. She cleared her thoat. ❝  I  fail  to  see  how  this  is  NORMAL  .  Martial  arts  ,  yes  ,  but  to  do  it  in  such  a  fashion  where  people  can  get  hurt  .  .  .  ❞ Ami let it go. This was not her business & all of this did catch her OFF GUARD.

                            In order to mend the bridge, she gave a bow to the young man. ❝  I  will  take  your  word  for  it  .  I'm  sorry  for  YELLING  at  you  .  Just  please  .  .  .  if  you  can  HELP  IT  ,  just  be  careful  .  ❞ Sure---like this STRANGER would listen but, it didn't hurt to extend the branch.

Ranma was in his own world as he made his preparations. He took training seriously. Especially when his father was watching over him. Ranma has a ton of pressure from his father, he uses his harsh tactics to make him stronger. ❝ Oh? ❞ He said as he came back into reality. ❝ Sureeee. You just wanna tag along so you can criticize everything I do yeah? ❞

Once his backpack was secured. he crossed his arms behind his head. Honestly, he wanted her to tag along. He wanted Akane to see him become stronger and how strong he was already. He loved to show off. Of course he wouldn't say any of this out loud. He rather just be a jerk about it.

❝ Well, I'll make sure to thank Kasumi for saving me. ❞ He gave a foolish grin, laughing to himself. ❝ Seriously, you better not complain. I'm ready to push the limits with my training. ❞

❝ I'm not tagging along because I like you or anything, @proudfighter ! ❞ And if she does, who even cares ( she knows he doesn't ). ❝ I - I'm doing it because ━━ ❞ C'mon Akane, think of an excuse, a great one that won't make him suspect anything. ❝ Because my father ordered me to ! ❞ Not entirely wrong yet more than an order it had been a SUGGESTION.

His monthly trip for an intense weekend of training has come and just like before she wishes to go. Behind her rough exterior Akane shows her tenderness in the constant concern she holds for the other, worrying endlessly on her mind though never saying it out loud. She wants to make sure he'll be SAFE AND SOUND from beginning to end, a guarantee that everything will work out regardless of the adversities they come across to. Perhaps if he knew of such thoughts, he wouldn't be so reluctant to let her join. . .

❝ I WON'T COOK this time so you can rest assured. ❞ A slight frown mixed with a flustered look is all she has to offer. ❝ And Kasumi packed enough food for the three of us. ❞ Yes, three, of course Mr. Saotome was going to be with them. ❝ Hey ! Are you even listening ? ! ❞

STARTER CALL.
