Ranma glances over at Genma again, who looks even more irritated now, then back at Shampoo.

Ranma is aware of Genma's annoyance and doesn't want to provoke him further, but he can't deny the effect that Shampoo's touch is having on him.

"Shampoo... You know we can't..." Ranma said.

-

Akane groans as she lies in bed, feeling frustrated at her condition. She sits up slowly, still feeling weak and her stomach rumbling.

"Ugh... I need food... I don't want to just lie here alone while everyone else is downstairs..." Akane says.

Akane slowly gets out of bed, trying to ignore the fever and dizziness that overcomes her.

Akane grabs onto the nearest furniture to support herself, then slowly makes her way towards the door of her room. Every step feels like a struggle, but she is determined to go back downstairs.

Akane reaches the door and opens it slowly, feeling the cool air of the hallway against her flushed skin.

Akane takes a few deep breaths, trying to gather her strength, and slowly begins to make her way downstairs.

With each step, Akane has to pause at times to catch her breath or steady herself against the wall.

By the time Akane reaches the bottom of the stairs, she is nearly out of breath and can feel the fever's heat radiating from her forehead again.

Akane stands in the doorway of the living room, looking in to see everyone else sitting around, chatting and eating ramen.

Akane feels a pang of longing to join them but also a bit of embarrassment to be seen in her current state.

As Akane watches Ranma and Shampoo interacting with each other, she can feel a pang of jealousy stirring within her.

Akane doesn't like the way Shampoo touches Ranma so boldly, as if he belonged to her.

Akane watches Ranma's reaction, his breath catching in his throat and his glance at Genma. She can sense his hesitation towards Shampoo, which only adds to her frustration.

Akane knows Ranma is technically engaged to her, but seeing him interact with Shampoo in such an intimate way, makes her feel like she's losing him somehow.

Akane's heart pounds with a mix of jealousy, frustration, and a hint of anger. She clenches her fists, but then she feels another coughing fit coming on and doubles over in a fit of wheezing coughs.

Ranma's attention is torn away from Shampoo as he hears the sound of Akane coughing and wheezing. He turns to see her doubled over in the doorway, her face flushed and sweaty.

Ranma immediately forgets about his conversation with Shampoo and rushes over to Akane's side.

"Akane! What are you doing out of bed? You're supposed to be resting!" Ranma said with worry.

Akane looks up at Ranma, still trying to catch her breath from the coughing fit. She tries to brush off his concern.

"I... I just wanted some ramen... I was... feeling hungry... and lonely up there all by myself..."  Akane softly spoke up.

Ranma shakes his head, clearly not buying her excuse. He puts a hand on her forehead, feeling the heat radiating from it.

"You're burning up, and you're in no condition to be out of bed right now. You need to go back to your room and rest." Ranma says.

Akane looks at Ranma, her eyes filled with a mix of stubbornness and frustration.

"But I... don't want to be alone. I want to... be with everybody..." Akane knows he's right, but the thought of being alone again makes her feel even more miserable.

Ranma's expression softens, sensing her loneliness and desperation.

"I know you don't want to be alone, but you're not well." Ranma says.

"You're too sick to be out here right now. You need to go back to bed and rest, at least for a little while. I'll come and check on you later, okay?" Ranma spoke.

As Shampoo watches Ranma fuss over Akane, a wave of jealousy ripples through her.

Shampoo doesn't like the way Ranma is treating Akane with such care and concern while seemingly ignoring her own advances.

Shampoo watches as Ranma puts his hand on Akane's forehead, his expression showing genuine concern for her well-being. It only makes Shampoo's jealousy and irritation grow stronger.

Ranma continues to ignore Shampoo's presence for the moment, his full attention focused on Akane.

Ranma can sense Akane's stubbornness and hesitation to go back to bed, but he knows it's for her own good.

"Come on, Akane. Let's get you back to your room, okay? You can have some hot soup when you wake up." Ranma grabs Akane's hand.

Akane blushed a little when Ranma took hold of her hand.

Ranma gently starts to guide her back up the stairs, supporting her as she walks.

Akane nods weakly, her eyes still filled with a hint of hesitance. She knows she's too weak to protest anymore, so she lets Ranma guide her back up the stairs.

As Ranma and Akane walk back upstairs, Akane can't help but glance back at Shampoo, who's watching them with a mix of jealousy and anger.

Shampoo watches with envious eyes as Ranma helps Akane back to her room. She can't stand the sight of Ranma being so protective and caring toward Akane.

Shampoo clenches her fists, resisting the urge to interfere.

Shampoo quickly grabs ahold of Ranma's leg, preventing him from guiding Akane any further.

"No, You stay with me! Akane can take care of herself." Shampoo begs.

Ranma looks back at Shampoo, his expression hardening.

"Shampoo, let go of me! I need to take care of Akane! She's not well and needs someone to look after her right now!" Ranma raises his voice.

Ranma tries to gently pry Shampoo's hand off his leg, but her grip is strong.

Akane watches the interaction between Ranma and Shampoo, feeling a mix of frustration and helplessness. She wants to protest Shampoo's claim on Ranma, but her body is too weak to speak up.

Shampoo's grip on Ranma's leg only tightens. She looks at him with a determined gleam in her eye.

"No, you stay here! I need you more than she does right now!" Shampoo glances over at Akane, her gaze hard and possessive.

Ranma's irritation grows as Shampoo refuses to let go of his leg. He looks back at Akane, torn between helping her and dealing with Shampoo's jealousy.

"Shampoo, stop acting like a child! Akane is sick and needs my help right now!" Ranma tries again to pull his leg away, but her grip remains firm.
