[Fanfic]I'm new! Be gentle!

Okay! I feel *really* stupid!
On my last two fanfics I was
wondering why I wasn't 
getting any comments! Well, 
I figured it out! I had forgotten
to put my E-Mail address on
them! Don't I feel stupid?!

Anyhoo! Here it is so I don't 
forget it again!
mmccrabb@nv-vb.mindspring.com
And remember, I'm just using
this address! Okay?

<drumroll> Here it is!

#4!! Yeah! <clapping>

Disclaimer: Ya! Ya! I know! Ranma 1/2 was *not*
created by me! It was created by the lovely and 
*very* talented Rumiko Takahashi. So all you 
lawyers out there can just ooze back into your holes.
Wait a minute! Did I just say ooze?!
Mental Note: Do*not* tell lawyers to ooze back into
their holes when you are begging them to spare your
pathetic life and not sue you for all the mere $5 you 
are worth!

	Everyone is sitting around the dinner table eating dinner (silently for a change). Everyone except Miyoko. She is quickly giving a summary explanation of her story. Hastily she sums in up. She nervously looks around at the people (plus one panda) looking at her.
	"Incredible! I thought Happosai was in the cave a year ago! He must have gone to the mountains before coming back to the dojo to- <sob>" Miyoko looks at Soun weird as he starts to cry (oh, big surprise there!).
	"Uh, no. I only ran into Happosai a month ago." She smiles weakly.
	"Huh? I thought you said you have been training in China for the last year?" Ranma looks at her suspiciously. Miyoko frowns.
	"I must not have made myself clear! I *have* been training in the mountains for the last year! I regretfully ran into Happosai about a month ago, at the *end* on the training trip!" 
	"Oh! Hee hee!" Ranma chuckles nervously.
	She glares at Ranma and looks up as Ryoga sits down next to her. She smiles at him and he smiles back. After dinner Ranma goes back out to the training hall. Akane sees him leave and follows him. 
	"Ranma?" She walks into the practice hall and sees him practicing.
	"Hmm?" He looks up. She looks at him seriously.
	"Are you really not scared of her? You can tell me." He sighs audibly, almost aggravated at Akane asking him again. He looks her in the face and seeing her worried expression, holds back a snide remark. She would probably make Miyoko leave if he was even a little scared of her. He could see it in her eyes.
	He sighs again. "No. It's kinda weird though. You would think I would be scared of her because of the whole tiger ears and tail thing but I'm not." he lowers his voice. "Arigato for being concerned though."
	She smiles as Ranma nervously looks at the floor and pushes his foot back and forth on the floor. She takes a step closer to him and he looks up. She looks up into his eyes. Awkwardly and very unsure they move their faces toward each other...
	*CRASH*
	Miyoko gets up off Ranma. She doesn't exactly notice she landed on him. She stand there fuming, glowing a low, but bright green.
	"Why'd ya do that for ya baka?! I already told you no!!" She stomps back into the house. Akane looks at Ranma and he shrugs.
	"I don't know. But we better get in there and stop her if you still want a house!" Ranma gets up and they run into the house together. Miyoko is squaring off with some strange girl. The girl has blue hair that is tied up in three pig tails on top of her head. She has a bamboo stick and is twirling it around.
	Soun is huddled in a corner with Genma-panda crying. The house is not as damaged as one might think it is but it is on the road to being damaged a *lot*.	
	"I already said No!! Can't you get it through your thick head?!" The girl just frowns at her.
	"If I defeat you, you will agree!" She twirls her bamboo stick for effect.
	"How many times do we have to do this, Taeko?! Find someone else!" Taeko ignores this comment and rushes at Miyoko. Miyoko easily dodges her and sends her flying out into the garden. Miyoko stomps after her. 
	"You do*not* want to make me mad, Taeko!" Taeko stands up rubbing her arm. She picks up her bamboo stick and throws it directly at Miyoko. Miyoko gathers up her energy, ready to fire a Ki ball at Taeko and finish the fight.
	"Miyoko no!! You'll destroy the house!" Akane runs at Miyoko and in order to break her from her concentration, tackles her to the ground. It works somewhat. The jar weakens her Ki and she shoots into the ground at Taeko's feet creating a rather large hole, but not as large as it would've been. Taeko starts to rush Miyoko although she is rather shook up by the hole Miyoko created.
	"I wouldn't recommend that Taeko!" Everyone turns around to see a tall boy about Ranma's age standing in the doorway. He has unruly black hair and is carrying a backpack. Miyoko looks up and face-faults.
	"You came too?! Oh, man! I don't need this!" The boy looks down at Miyoko and his eyes widen. He looks over at Taeko and frowns. He quickly walks over to her and roughly grabbing by the arm starts to drag her away. "Hey! Where are you going? I had to fight with your baka sister, I blast a hole in the Tendo's yard, and now you're leaving?!"
	He turns around and gulps audibly. 
	"Hey! What's your problem?" He looks up and her head and then his eyes travel down her body and stop and about her midsection. She takes this as him checking her out. She starts to glow green again and stomps over to the boy.
	"Tatsuro you hentai!!" She grabs him and punts him into the stratosphere. Taeko looks up her with one of those sassy, cool, looks that can be really annoying.
	"You didn't need to do that, Tigger!" Miyoko's eyes widen when she puts it all together. Since the Tendo's knew about her secret she didn't hide it anymore. She puts her hands on her hips.
	"Now don't I feel stupid? Oh, well, he still didn't need to look me over like a piece of meat!" Everyone is looking at this little exchange with *very* confused looks on their faces. Ranma is the first to recover.
	"Uh, if you don't mind my asking, but what just happened here?" Miyoko sighs and sits down leans against the side of the house.
	"The boy I just kicked into orbit was Nishiyama Tatsuro and this is his sister Taeko. They got it into their thick little heads that I was to marry Tatsuro and help run their School of Bamboo Stick Fighting and Baka Tactics." Ranma scratches his head.
	"School of Bamboo Stick Fighting and *Baka* Tactics? Hey, Ranma, that would be perfect for you! Maybe he wants to marry a boy who's a girl at least half the time!" Akane starts to giggle.
	"I least I'm not bad Martial Artist! I don't think he would want to marry a kawaiikune tomboy like you! I'm better built to boot!" He sticks out his tongue and pulls on the skin under his right eye.
	"Ranma no Baka!!!" She grabs him and throws him into the pond. Ranma-chan emerges spitting water and dipping wet. Miyoko gasps and stares wide eyed. Ranma-chan walks over to where everyone is standing. She notices Miyoko's expression and gets a little nervous.
	"Hee hee! I, uh, guess you don't know about *my* little secret." Miyoko's mind clicks with realization as Akane runs up and pours hot water on Ranma-chan.
	"Jusenkyo?" Ranma sheepishly nods. Miyoko grins, remembering her little comment earlier. "The panda too?" He nods. Everyone's attention is turned back to the present situation when Tatsuro comes staggering back into the yard. Miyoko stalks up to him. She leans her face towards his and glares at him.
	"Are you going to give up on this little quest of your's now, hmm? BECAUSE I'M GETTING TIRED OF IT!!!" He falls over with that blown away look.
	"When did you get the ears and tail? You didn't have them last time I saw you." He gets up and brushes the dirt off his clothes.
	"Um, yes I did." He looks confused and she sighs exasperated and puts her hands on her hips. "You couldn't see them because I hid them! Now can you just go and leave me alone?!" Maybe if I tell him I'm already engaged. Do I really want to admit that? Oh, well, how bad can it be? "Um, Tatsuro? I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm already engaged."
	Tatsuro gets a genuine crushed look on his face. Miyoko wonders if she should have said that. His head droops slightly and he sighs in resignation. He bows slightly and walks out of the yard. Taeko looks after him and then back at Miyoko. She then runs off after her brother.
	"I don't know, Miyoko, he seemed kinda nice. A little on the slow side but then again, look at my fiancee." Miyoko shakes her head. Ranma's eyes widen in shock.
	"Did you just say what I think you said Akane?! You? The president of the 'I hate boys club'? And you're also a client! Oh, come on!" Akane turns on Ranma. He backs up, holding his arms up in defense. She gives him a looks that could melt steel.
	"RANMA NO BAKA!!!" She punts him into low orbit. She turns back to Miyoko who acts like nothing happened.
	"I don't think so. I haven't really been on the friendly side to men since my brother dumped me on some fiancee I had never met." Her shoulders visibly slump.
	"What ever did happen to that fiancee? Did you ever meet him?"
	"Well, actually I did. But that's another *long* story!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, what did y'all think?
I know it was shorter this
time but I thought this 
would be a good ending.

I think this fanfic is actually
coming alone decently. I
know there are quite a few
mistakes but they're fixable.
So does everyone like the 
plot so far?

All comments, suggestions,
and of course flames (they
will be ignored though ;))
should be sent to ME!!!

I have just one question 
before I shut up and let 
you go on with your life! No
wait! Don't go! Don't leave
me!! <sob>

Ahem! Ah! Now that I got
*that* out of my system!
<hee hee> Anyhoo! Has my
fanfic been posted on the
Ranma ML? I know it got to
the FFML, but I don't know 
about the Ranma one.
You'll tell me won't you??

Oh, well! Bye for now!!
