A shrill, sickening scream erupted from the bathroom.

Author's Note: (Hi there!) This is my Ranma FanFic! It's totally RanmaxAkane… Why not? They were meant to be together anyways!

(All about Ranma and Akane's love for each other!)

Have fun reading, and please, please, review!

Ranma's head arched toward the scream, like a rabbit hearing its predator from afar.

"Akane?" he called, as he walked slowly down the hallway, "You okay?"

There was no answer from the small bathroom. The only thing to be heard was laugher coming from Nabiki, "Ranma really does care, eh? Ahaha!"

Ranma knocked on the bathroom door, "Akane? Answer me! Are you okay?" Ranma pounded on the door.

Still, no answer. "AKANE! YOU OPEN THIS DOOR… THIS INSTANT! THIS ISN"T FUNNY!" Ranma hollered. Ranma's black hair flew in his face as he yelled.

He backed up a few steps and charged at the door. The wooden door came crashing down, and Ranma rushed in. Akane lay on the wet floor, naked. Surrounding her was a puddle of blood.

"Oh no." Ranma groaned. "Akane?" Ranma was embarrassed, who wouldn't be? He had walked in on Akane… while she was exposed!

But, he couldn't worry about that. Ranma rushed over to Akane's body, and scooped her up, blood dripped from her head. A crack?

"Pop?" He called, "Can you guys come help me?" Ranma felt faint. He had always hated blood, and to see Akane's dripping where it shouldn't be made him sick.

Mr. Saotome came into the bathroom laughing, but when he saw the blood he stopped abruptly, "Ranma, son, what did you do?"

"Nothing! I'm innocent!" Ranma said defensively.

"Quick, cover her… get a towel. You know girls, don't like to be exposed." Mr. Saotome explained. "I'll be right back…"

Ranma carried Akane, minding her head, over to the towel rack. He put a towel around Akane as well as he could.

"… Her head won't stop bleeding. That's not good!"

Ranma hurried out of the bathroom, "Call 911! Get an ambulance!" When he ran into the dining room, Nabiki's smile disappeared. "Akane?" she whispered.

Mr. Saotome soon entered the room, "Ambulance is on the way," he sighed, "Bad time for Tendo to be gone… blood all over the carpet… what will he say?"

Ranma stared at Akane's face. Wow. He thought, I never noticed how cute she is. Ranma stared at her lips. Those lips look pretty tasty. But he shook the feeling off. Akane was hurt.

Ranma sat in the hospital waiting room. Every time a doctor would walk through, he would approach, only to be disappointed. Mr. Saotome and Nabiki had stayed home. Kasumi was on a small vacation already, and Suon (Mr. Tendo) was on a training mission.

Ranma was Akane's visiting party. He sat in the waiting area, until a nurse told him to go home, it was late. But he didn't go home. Instead he slipped into the patient area.

What if she is still being operated on? You shouldn't be here! Come back tomorrow. Ranma didn't know what to do. Find Akane? Yeah. That's what he'd do.

He sprinted down the hall checking patient check-ins as he went. Finally, he reached a sign that said "Head Injuries." Perfect! She should be here somewhere. As he went down the right hall, the way the arrow on the sign told him to go, he chuckled. Akane let's hope you're asleep.

When Ranma checked the last door the paper outside read, "Akane Tendo, Severe Head Injury."

"Finally, " Ranma whispered. He opened the door and slid inside.
