Summary: I felt my cheeks flush and held in a gasp when his eyes suddenly narrowed and changed to the color of a deep, dark, purple. His voice was husky, like he was mentally preparing himself for a battle, yet at the same time, the tone was… passionate.
Chapter One: Borealis
Rating: K

"Wouldn't it be amazing to see the Northern Lights?"

I turned with an air of surprise to my older sister, Nabiki, who was gazing at the television. We were watching "Planet Earth" on Discovery Channel, one of our favorite stations. I glanced back at the TV screen and watched with admiration as nighttime descended and the Borealis weaved its way through the stars.

I didn't answer, and only vaguely heard Nabiki as she announced that she was going to her room to finish up some business. I nodded as she walked away, and didn't even notice that Ranma had walked into the room until he sat down next to me. I responded with a jump when he tapped me on the shoulder.

"What're you doing, 'Kane?" he asked. I gave him a skeptical glare and refocused on the television, where the Northern Lights were still waving at me.

"What does it look like?" I snapped. He didn't say anything for a while, so I tried to relax in the small moment of peace, but I could feel him staring at me, and it was getting irritating. "Is there something you want?" I said as I turned my attention back to him. For a moment, he didn't seem to realize that I was addressing him, so I was surprised when I looked into his eyes and saw a different shade of blue than what I was used to. It was a dark turquoise instead of the light pacific blue that was usually present.

He finally noticed that I was waiting for an answer and shook his head, as if trying to clear it. When he looked at me, his eyes had returned to the familiar pacific blue, but were tinted with the lightest green specks that I had never noticed before.

"Maybe," he said mischievously, the green in his eyes darkening. He leaned back onto his hands and stared at me again. I felt my cheeks flush under his gaze and held in a gasp when his eyes suddenly narrowed and changed to the color of a deep, dark purple.

"Akane…" The way he said my name sent chills down my spine; it seemed to just roll off of his tongue. His voice sounded husky, like he was mentally preparing himself for a deadly battle, yet at the same time, the tone was… passionate.

I didn't even notice that he was leaning towards me until he had cupped the back of my head and pulled me closer. I gulped as we came nearer together, and almost closed my eyes until I caught the slightest flash of green in his irises.

He pulled away abruptly and lightly pinched my nose with his fingers.

"Gotcha!" he shouted before sprinting away like a mad man. It took me several seconds to realize what just happened when I was chasing after him, indignant anger swelling within me.

Behind us on the television, the Aurora Borealis glimmered in a rainbow of endless color.

Gah! Sorry! I know I said I would refrain from posting any new stories (save for one/two shots... or a four shot) until all of my others were finished, but this has been sitting on my computer for several long months. Just so you know, it's the sequal to my other story Boys Like Girls, which is in Ranma's point of view. Someone asked me to do some from Akane's point of view, and here it is! Just like Boys Like Girls, there will be 15 chapters to this drabble. I'm considering adding 5 to each though so it will be a satisfyingly even number (for me).

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it! Let me know what you think by reviewing, and if you haven't read Boys Like Girls yet, I recommend you do so! I put some interesting information there for a Ranma 1/2 continuation petition. The link can be found in my profile, so if you'd like to, go ahead and sign!

Thanks for reading! Review please!
