[Episode 16663] [Episode 16663]The little one year old in her arms squealed in delight as Ranma tickled her and still smiled when Ranma reached down and scooped up her other daughter in her arms as well. Kirara was a bit more mellow than her sister and despite her name Yoiko was the girl that had given her father his first grey hairs.
Grey hairs at the age of eighteen.. geez..
When would he get home anyway? Akane had left to pick him up at work today so she had prepared supper for him but that had been almost an hour ago.
"Gakk! where is that man! he is giving me grey hairs!!"

Accepting the offered teacup Ryouga emptied its content instantly only to get it refilled moments later. The tea of course tasted horrible but he eagerly drank the refill as well when it had been poured. This was so far beyond anything he could comprehend, so far in fact that he for a moment had been unsure whether he truly had been awake. Well the hard saucepan he had bashed against his head had proven that much at least; the old cook-utensil never would be the same again but then neither would he.
This time it wasn't all Ranma's fault, this time it was all Ryouga's fault. No matter how he looked at it and no matter how he twisted and turned it he couldn't change the fact that he, Ryouga Hibiki had banged Ranma, had fucked her over and most likely screwed her brains out.
Not even touching her own cup Akane seemed to take it all much calmer than he had expected. She always was such a nice girl, but even though he was sure she understood that he hadn't been himself back then he marveled over how strong she was. Sitting opposite him she poured him a third cup, the hot water steaming as it left the old teapot and filled his cup up to the brim.
"Do you like your tea Ryouga?" Akane asked, smiling awkwardly at him. And that was all it took.
"Akane I'm so sorry..! I don't deserve your forgiveness I.. I .." The wandering martial artist now more lost than ever managed to get out, almost chocking on his own words at the end. The road of self loathing was indeed a lonely one. Feeling the weight of Akane's small hand gently resting on his own Ryouga looked up from where he had been studying the floor.
"Shh... Ryouga I -- You don't have to apologize, okay?" Akane mumbled shaking her head tiredly. "Lets just think about this .. rationally."
"Rationally.." Ryouga repeated in a weak voice not feeling much like a man at all for the moment but like the pig he sometimes turned into. "Akane-chan, I uh.. What are we gonna do?"
Akane coughed into her hand. "Deny it.."
"Deny it?!!" Ryouga spluttered forgetting his hot tea and spilling it all over himself. The pain wasn't enough to make him forget what had happened for even a moment. How could he deny it? How could anyone? How could any one of them pretend that nothing had happened? "Akane I can't do that!"
Akane finally did sip her tea but immediately looked as if she regreted it as she afterwards shoved the cup as far away from herself as possible. "Well it's either that or actually telling Ranma what happened. Ryouga if we don't tell her what happened, if we make her believe it's just something she has dreamt then .. well how would you feel about waking up and being told that you just have had sex with a boy?"
Ryouga didn't have an answer for Akane and neither did he have to provide the Tendou girl with one as fate took matters into its own hands. ..
