Chapter 13
-Who is she? -
"You are what? Akane looked at the stranger in disbelief, then her gaze shot to Ranma, who only looked at the ground.
“Don't you want to say anything about it?” Soun interfered in this incident for the first time, but his voice was the coldest of all.
"It's not like that. Sora, what is that supposed to mean?" He avoided looking at Akane, who silently ran tears down his cheeks.
"Why? Ranma, my darling. You wanted it that way?"
"Is that right? Are you married to her?" Akane's voice sounded low and full of pain, so that Ranma ran a cold shiver down his spine.
“It's not like that.” He stammered to himself, but Akane slowly turned around.
"Akane, please wait."
"Ranma, didn't you tell her anything? She really can't have figured out any chances, right?" Sora laughed softly and no one noticed the cold, calculated look in her eyes.
“Ranma, how could you hurt my poor girl like that?” Soun walked over to Akane and put an arm around her."If he's already married, we'll find you a much better one. This Kuno, isn't he a very nice one?"
"Ranma, come outside with me, we can talk there." Sora hung up on the confused boy and pulled him along.
"Akane, I can explain that." He stopped at the door and only now noticed that Sora had pulled him along. Akane had reached the door on the other side, slowly turned around and pushed her father away, who suggested a lot of boys to marry her.
"Is she your wife?"
"No its wrong."
"She's either your wife or she isn't."
"Please let me tell my story, then you can do whatever you want with me. I only love you Akane." He had pushed Sora away and was now walking towards the other girl. But he didn't dare touch her, too many different emotions raged inside him. On the one hand the feelings for Akane and then there were the long-forgotten feelings for Sora.“Then tell me.” The two looked at each other briefly, then Ranma looked at the floor and remembered a time that was long ago.
{"I'm 15 years old, how can you tell me what to do and what not to do. I love her." Ranma stood in front of his father and glared at him angrily.
"My son, she's not for you. You've only known her for a month. And you've already got engaged."
"I don't want anyone else. I just love Sora and I will always love her too." He turned and ran away. His father said after him, then he shook his head and longed for his wife, who could help him now and remove the feeling of being all alone.
Ranma ran through the streets. He turned the corner and stopped, startled. He just didn't want to see what he saw.
"Sora?" he asked softly, struggling to hold back his tears. The couple standing in front of him slowly separated and the girl smiled at him. "Ranma what are you doing here?Didn't you want to come tonight? May I introduce you to my friends? "
"But I thought ... Sora you ..."
"Ranma, what should it be? Don't be like that." She walked over to him and put a hand on his arm. "He can just offer me more. You have to understand that. I like you very much, but with time ..." she read the sentence openly, then stood up to ten and kissed him briefly. “I'm allowed to keep the ring, right? I'm going to break our engagement, but it suits me so well.” Ranma just started at her, feeling something inside him tore.
"Sora, but I thought you loved me too?"
"Love, there really isn't such a thing." Then she turned around and went back to the boy. The two then disappeared into the house, leaving Ranma alone.}
"I haven't seen her since then. She broke my heart. But that was a long time ago." Only then did Ranma look up again and seek eye contact with Akane.The whole time she hadn't said anything and her tears were also dry again.
"Ranma that's not entirely true. You once promised me that you would always love me. But then you just ran away." Sora stood next to the boy and wrapped her arms around him. "I've waited so long for you. You know, I think we're still too young. But now? Shortly after you left, I noticed that my heart still belongs to you, always will. Here you can see .." She took out a ring. "I still have it. Our ring."
"Sora, that doesn't matter. You may have been right about someone, we were young, too young. But that's the past. I love you" He couldn't finish the sentence because she hugged him happily and pressed her lips to his.
“I love you too.” And again her lips pressed against his.
He shook it off. "Don't. I don't love you, I love her," he went to Akane, who hadn't said anything yet, and stood next to her.But he still didn't touch her. The kiss had triggered something in him, something he had long thought to have forgotten.
“Does she have a ring of yours, too?” Sora looked at Akane's hand, which hung down unadorned.
“No, I don't have a ring, but I have this.” She took the necklace out from under her sweater.
"I'll give that to a friend, too, but a ring." Sora smiled sweetly.
"I think you should go now." Soun interfered again.
"I will not give up on you my darling. I know that you still love me." Then she left and at the same moment Nabiki and Kasumi came home.
"Who was that?" Nabiki asked while Kasumi was preparing to eat.
But no one noticed her, Ranma was still looking at Akane, who, however, avoided his eyes. Soun wondered aloud who would make a good betrothed if this Sora was really right. But inside he was boiling, he just wanted to cheer up his little girl.But when he came back to Kuno, Nabiki looked angry.
"He's not for Akane. Get that out of your head." But the next moment she wished she had kept her mouth shut, because now she was sure of the attention, in any case that of Soun, who was starting to plan a wedding . Your wedding to Kuno.
Akane turned around and left, Ranma followed her to the door of the room. Before that she stopped and turned back to him.
"What about the ring, does that mean anything?" she asked softly and looked at him. Ranma looked at her but couldn't answer, so the silence spread.
"That's an answer too. Please leave me alone." Then she went into the room and closed the door. Once inside, she took off the chain and lay down on her bed. When she remembered what Ranma and she had been doing here before the visit, her tears came again.
so and at the end, I hope I get a couple of commis :-D
