Done in permanent marker (fine and ultrafine point).

Five years post series (when RanmaAkane et al are about 21-years-old), Ranma has been "missing" since not long after the failed marriage. His commitment phobia got the better of him (more-or-less) and he decided to leave town for awhile rather than face the altar. He spends his time (alone; Genma stays at home with his wife, Nodoka) training, making his way to India, Europe and back to China (amongst other places). Throughout his journey, he keeps two things with him at all times; Akane's hair (severed in Vol 1 by Ryoga's belt) and her picture (the same one he had on him during the final arc with Saffron). Think of them as symbols for the beginning and end of their canon relationship ^^

Akane, despite feeling hurt and betrayed by Ranma's panicked flight, maintains faith that he'll eventually come back. In the meantime, she finishes high school, enrolls in college and begins taking cooking classes. Her newest aspiration is to be a chef. She sleeps in one of Ranma's shirts (the only thing that he left behind; the only solid proof that he was ever there to begin with) every night.

Eventually, some danger (which I haven't decided upon yet; maybe something revolving around Ranma's curse) brings Ranma back to Nerima and the two have to face each other after a long, hard separation. This pic takes place not long before their inevitable reunion when they both happen to be thinking of the other at the same time.

**UPDATE 12/13/10** I've figured out why he comes back to Nerima! He's in some kind of trouble (details as of yet undecided) and needs a book/charm/spell to vanquish it. He would ask Cologne for help, but thanks to Ranma's stubborn refusal to marry Shampoo for SO LONG, he's not really on speaking terms with the Amazons anymore (in fact, the whole kiss-of-death thing was reinstated and all Amazons -- Cologne, Shampoo, and Mousse included -- are instructed to kill him on sight). Thinking that Dr. Tofu might have it, he sneaks his way into Nerima and pays a visit...while he's there, of course, he "bumps into" (read as "saves from impending doom caused by his presence") Akane and all kinds of awkward questions crop up.
