A SECOND CHANCE TO LOVE…
Part Two:
The golden flecks of Akane's brown eyes follwed the path of a
sakura petal with dream-like attentiveness. A breeze intercepted
the petal halfway and pushed it slightly out of its intended
destination. The twenty-two year old saw the single blossom
ending in the famous Nerima canal along the main street.
A shrill ring signifying the class over managed to snap her out
of the contemplation. She laughed at her own silliness and
mumbled, "It must have been old age catching up on me!"
A quarelling young couple wearing the Furinkan High's uniform
reminded her of when she and Ranma usedto hurl insults at each
other. That particular thought halted and her small hands
tightened on the steering wheel of her convertible. She cursed
herself for remembering a certain pigtailed boy. A few deep breaths
was taken to restore the young Tendo's spirit.
"Yoshi! Tonight is the family's traditional dinner, don't spoil it now!"
She turned her car keys and started to drive back home.
"Tadaima! Tofuu-sensei? Oneechan? Anyone home?" A pattering
of footsteps came over the the threshold as Kasumi's children threw
themselves onto Akane, knocking her off balance.
"Yumi-chan! Natsumi-chan! Minna-san genki desu ka?"
A chorus of "Hai!" from the younger members of the family
managed to produce an amused smile from their aunt. She ruffled
Natsumi's hair affectionately and gave her nieces two lollipops.
Happy sounds of them enjoying the sweets were interrupted
by Kasumi's voice.
"Ara, Akane-chan! Have you been giving them sweets again?"
"Oneechan!" Akane crushed her in a bear hug and Kasumi
disengaged herself to examine her sister.
"You're looking rather fine this evening, any good news to
share with me?"
Corners of Akane's turned up for a slight smile, "Our school's
reputation has been on the rise and the expansion plans for
new branches are coming up nicely."
Kasumi gave a small squeeze on her sister's hand, "Yokatta!
So what would you like for dinner? I will prepare your
favourite food as a reward." Before Akane could reply, a
sleepy voice from upstairs drifted down.
"Who's there, Kasumi?"
Akane frowned. She turnd to her eldest sister and asked
softly, "Are there other people visiting?" The stairs made
a creeking sound as somebody came downstairs.
Her eyes widened in surprise when she finally met
her ex-fiance face to face after a long time.
Golden-brown yes met stormy grey-blue eyes. After a long
moment of complete silence, one word managed to slip out
between the pale lips, "Ranma!"
"Yeah, I'm back!" Ranma gave a small wave and smiled weakly
at his ex-iinazuke.
Akane blinked, rubbing her eyes to make sure that it was
just a figment of her imagination. Nothing happened.
The person whom she had been thinking about was still there.
Ranma shuffled his feet nervously and waited for her response.
He expected an explosion of Akane's legendary temper and not
much reaction has been shown so far. The silence was unnerving.
Akane shook her head to clear her thoughts. She bowed politely
to Ranma and gathered her overnight bag without a word.
This show of plain courtesy hurt Ranma as the girl was
demonstrating such an act as though he was just a mere stranger
or an aquintance. He was prepared for her old ways of violence
or words of rage, but this behaviour left him unprepared.
Kasumi too in all these and shelved the information for later thought.
She beamed and chirped, "Ranma-kun will be staying with us for a while.
Akane-chan, why don't you unpack and we will all have a nice family
reunion dinner together?"
Ranma mentally thanked Kasumi for her timely save. Akane nodded
and headed to her room.
The neglected daughters of the older Tendo gave a curious stare
at Ranma-kun and mentally resolved to find out who this stranger
was and his relationship with their favourite aunt.
