Akane
'Why does Ranma have to get into so many fights with me? I haven't spoken to him since last night. Can't he see that all the things he does would upset a girl, a girl that might even . . . I don't know what I want anymore. Having these feelings for people who won't even look at you but some 'tomboy' or 'macho chick' isn't going to cut it for me. How is my life going to turn out? I would love to get married but I don't want to get forced into doing it, or have someone who doesn't, be forced too.'
Akane turned around in her room and looked at her clock.
'School let out over three hours ago. And I haven't seen him since. I really think that he's going to get married to either Shampoo or Ukyo. I wonder, does he even think about all the engagements he's in? Did he already choose whom he wants to be with?'
"Akane?" Kasumi said knocking on her door. She jumped slighly.
"Come in." She straightened herself out.
"I was wondering if you would do me a favor."
"Sure." Akane stood and walked over to her older sister.
"You remember that Catherine is getting married in a few weeks." Catherine was a friend of Kasumi and she was a very pretty woman. She had long, beautiful golden strands of hair that came to the midst of her elegantly curved back. Gorgeous blue eyes. She also had a perfect body as she looked like a model. "Well, she wanted me to look over her dress to see if there was anything wrong with it before she sent it to get it cleaned. I was thinking if you could put the dress on for me to check."
"Of course I will." Akane smiled. "If it fits." She added slowly.
"Of course it'll fit. All right then Akane, lets go to my room."
Kasumi walked out and handed her a long silk white top. Suddenly, Akane remembered the end of the fight that she and Ranma had.
**Beginning of Flashback**
"Why do you always do this to me? Why do you always make me feel like this?" Tears began to sting her brown eyes.
"I didn't do anything, Akane! You just attacked me like you constantly do. Then you start arguing. You let your rage out of control and start hitting me." Ranma looked away from her. "You're doing this to yourself. You're making yourself feel that way." They stood silent for a moment.
"Do you even want to marry me?" Ranma turned at her in shock.
"What?"
"Of course you have two more fiancee's. Maybe you already chose who you wanted to be with . . ."
"Akane, you know I didn't-"
"No! I can go and find someone else and get married. I can even get married tomorrow and I can get out of your life! You don't have to see this uncute, tomboy around here. I won't be a burden on you anymore!" By this time her eyes were overflowing with tears, her body was trembling as she tried so hard not to cry.
His heart sank as he saw her over come with emotion. He could not take watching her cry, nevertheless, because of him.
"Akane. Listen to me. You're not a-"
"You never really cared about me all this time. Ever since we met. You," she took in a deep breath as the tears never stopped. "You never once considered how I felt! Have you?" She sobbed.
**End of Flashback**
Akane felt someone touch her.
"Akane, are you all right?" She glanced at Kasumi, trying to hide that something was bothering her.
"Sorry." Akane took her shirt and shorts off and she slipped on the silky shirt that reached the middle of her slender thighs.
"All right, Akane. Go beneath the dress." Kasumi picked the dress up and slipped it over her younger sister, while Akane's head popped through and she carefully pushed her arms through the sleeves. Kasumi zipped up the dress in the back of her and the gown flowed to floor and sparked all over.
"Oh it looks so beautiful." Kasumi put her hands together, showing the content through her smile.
"Yeah, it looks great." Kasumi sensed something was wrong as Akane stared at herself in the mirror. She knew who it was too.
"No Akane. It looks beautiful on you." Akane turned around. "It fits perfectly on you." She noted how it clung to Akane's curvy hips.
Akane smiled at her sister then looked down at herself in the mirror again. "My breasts are too small." Someone knocked on the door.
Akane turned away from the mirror not being able to stand looking at herself. She remembered all the things that Ranma had said about her body. How she had small breast or how she was built like a brick.
'How could he not know what it feels like to be teased by someone who, who looked upon the other for. . . approval.'
The younger girl watched her sister graciously walked to the door and opened it.
"Hey Kasumi!" A tall, young man walked through the door with a black classy tuxedo on. Kasumi was startled to see who it was and quickly tried to shove him out of the room.
"What are you doing here?! My sister has the dress on. You can't see it!" Kasumi responded hurriedly. She looked at him more closely. "Why are you wearing your tuxedo?"
"I wanted you to look at it to see if everything is ok on it. I want the wedding to be perfect. I want Catherine to be the happiest woman and I don't want to screw up." He walked into the room. "Oh, wow! I'm speechless. The dress is miraculous."
Kasumi smiled and let the man step into the room and motioned him over to her sister.
"Akane I want you to meet Gary. Gary, this is my little sister Akane."
"Hi." Akane bowed and Gary repeated in kind.
"Nice to meet you. You look great in the dress."
"Thank you." Gary walked up to Akane and turned to the mirror.
"Oh I can't wait! It's going to be fantastic." Kasumi laughed at the sound of his anxious voice. Gary took Akane's hand, astonished by the dress, and spun her around. Akane laughed feeling somewhat happier, like he was spreading his happiness on to others.
"I bet you too will love the wedding." He was delighted that everything was going so well but the door opened up to an unexpected visitor.
Ranma walked in and suddenly asked if Akane was in there. He turned and looked to see her smiling about with some guy as they held each other's hand. Akane was wearing a wedding dress and the man was wearing a tuxedo. He remembered what she said before she ran away him in the Dojo last night.

"No! I can go and find someone else and get married. I can even get married tomorrow and I can get out of your life! You don't have to see this uncute, tomboy around here. I won't be a burden on you anymore!"

His face became tight and red.
