    Ryoga Hibiki frowned as he saw the huge forest before him. Now,
how did he get here? He could have sworn that when he went to sleep
last night that he was just at the edges of Tokyo.

    An hour of walking couldn't have taken him here, could it?

Of course not! He got there in the first five minutes! ;-)

He just thought he was passing some unusual looking buildings ^_^

    Seeing his bewildered expression, she decided to elaborate. "It
was a picture of my mother after she and father got engaged. I guess
it's the main reason why we like having Akane over so much. It's
like having mother back with us, even for a little while."

Hasn't anyone remarked yet on the fact that Akane has the same name as
the long lost Tendo sister? I know they're not the most perceptive
people in the world, but c'mon....

My guess is, they're so busy playing let's pretend that the thought
never crossed their minds.
I think people have a tendency to look for complex answers even if a
simple solution has been staring at them in the face all along. 

    Whatever answer she was waiting for never came forth. The piglet
was already fast asleep.

Dinner time! :-)

AKANE: Kasumi, have you seen P-chan?

KASUMI: I'm sorry, I haven't. I'm sure he's around, though. Here, why 
don't you have some of this katsudon? ^_^
 

Interesting that you should switch genres at this time. The romantic
stuff came up a little abruptly maybe, but it was well done. 

That's because someone wrote to me telling me to get the relationship
going already. I put all the blame on him ^_^

Leaves me a  bit bewildered as to where this is all heading, but I 
guess we'll find out!

Good, you can be bewildered along with me since I'm not a hundred
percent sure how this is going to end either ^_^
I haven't made up my mind yet if Akane's going to end up with 
Shinnosuke or Ranma. I guess it all depends on which character
I like more when I write the ending for this ^_^
