Author's Notes:
This is my first fanfic attempt, It is a short very rough draft of the
start Depending on the responses I will dump it or try to develop the
story. (I have more penned out but want to gage a response before I
put more time into this.) If I develop it I plan to add part of vol.
38 in as a back story and further flush out the details. Be as cruel
as you want it will help me learn to develop better stories. What
follows is a brief snippet of the second chapter (I plan on one being a
vol. 38 back fill)
SPOILER WARNING - this back references Ranma vol. 38 in spots and will
give away a major component of the end.
The Continuation
Volume 0
--back story with translation of parts of book 38--
Chapter 1 - The Aftermath
<Do you really love me Akane?> Ranma thought as he sunk in to the
furo. <I don't know it seems the only reason she went along with the
wedding was the because of the Nannichuan water.>
<Then again am I really ready to get married. I was knocked out and
thrown into a tux and then told the wedding was on. At first I
really did not want to marry Akane then but when I saw how beautiful
she looked>
<I... I do love her I did Not realize how much until I thought
Saffron had killed her. I Would have traded places with her. If
Saffron told me the only way to bring back Akane was to die myself
I... I... would. The hurt I felt when I thought she died was so
great, I know my life would not be complete>
<I Want to tell her how I feel but, something always happens and
Akane takes out her mallet and hits me. Why can't she let me
explain the situation she never listens she always assumes the worst
of me>
<I wish I knew how you felt>
<I really do want to marry you, but are we ready. Perhaps it is
best we wait, we are only 17 and we have a year of school left>
Ranma sighed as he turned over and looked at the clock, "Whoa! I
been in here an hour." Ranma exclaimed as he quickly exited the furo
and dressed.
Ranma started to make his way to his room when he paused in front
Akane's door. <Maybe I should talk to her. I want her to know how I
feel.> Pausing for a few seconds Ranma started to raise his shaking
hand to be stopped when he heard Akane utter "Ranma you baka" Ranma
quickly dropped his hand and walked a way with his head sunk down
into his chest. <She blames me for the wedding mess, she blames me,
she blames me...> kept running through his thoughts as he drifted to
sleep.
Akanes Diary entry
Dear Diary: feb 1996
-----
What a day, That baka Ranma just passed me in the hall on the way to
take his bath. Why didn't he say anything to me. I know something
is wrong that forced smile he had on his face. If we could just talk
I know... think we could work it out. I know he loves me why can't
he just say it. I want to tell him I feel the same way but I want to
hear him say it first.
Well my wedding was ruined, I can thank Nabiki for that. We tried
to have a small wedding but Nabiki printed up hundreds of invitations
and sold them to his fiancées, rivals, and about everyone in school.
His fiancées tried to stop the wedding and when Genma and Moose
heard about the Nannichuan the house was destroyed. From what I
heard she had made a good profit, until dad forced her to pay for the
house repairs. To top it all off Happosai drank the Nannichuan water
leaving Ranma cursed.
My thought are still drawn to that smile of his. Was it forced or
was it a smile of relief the wedding failed. When he first came
through this morning he looked upset that we were to be married. I
want to know what he is feeling, If I can just ask him.
-----
Akane paused as she heard the door to the furo open. <he should be
at my door by now> "Ranma you baka..." "please talk to me" she
whispered after a few seconds pause. Akane's heart sunk and she
resumed writing as she heard the door to Ranma's room slide shut.
-----
Ranma I know you love me. I heard you after you saved me from
Saffron. Why don't you admit it. Do you think I will mad.
Akane closed and hid her diary. <Tomorrow after I talk to Nabiki,
I... I will try to talk to you. I'll try not to get mad.> Akane
thought as she turned out her light and went to sleep.
