	Ranma looked across the yard of the Tendo homestead and breathed heavily. The
cold air burned his lungs as he labored in his breathing. His opponent looked
at him calmly with more than a little anger in her eyes. Her breath was even
and calculated, she was barely even sweating. His father looked at him with an
even gaze. "Finish him." he said with a frustrated sigh. Ranma looked at him
with an icy gaze, "No way." he said evenly and swung half heartedly at his
opponent. She ducked easily and hit him with an uppercut that left him
sprawled across the grass. "Uuurrh." grumbled Ranma as he picked himself up
painfully. "I told you...not to go easy on me..." said the girl clutching
herself with her back turned to him. 
	Akane watched the exchange with slight interest from the table. "Quit
treating me like a girl!" yelled Ranma-chan as she slugged him in the stomach
hard. She stormed off towards her room. "Ungrateful jerk." grumbled Ranma.
Akane staired at him in disbelief. "I've been saying that for years boy." said
Genma with an amused smile. 
	A few minutes later Ranma sat down for his breakfast. "I don't believe you!"
yelled Akane. "Now what did I do?" he said looking mad. "Ranma think for once
in your life you jerk!" she said angrily. "What?!" retorted Ranma. "Did you
like it when people went easy on you when you were a girl?" she asked angrily.
"No of course not!..." he said angry that Akane would say something like that
to him. "You still don't like it." said Ranma-chan from behind him as she put
his face into his food with a hard kick. "Hey watch it you..." growled Ranma
as he got up to face her with an angry look. "Or what? you'll beat me up?
Mabey if you did I'd actually learn something." Ranma-chan Retorted angrily.
Ranma looked at her oddly, it was if a realization hit him, a blinding flash
of the obvious. "I'm...sorry." he said dumbly. Akane gasped, Ranma had just
apologized. "Until you get over this girl thing of yours you always will be."
responded Ranma-chan coldly. Ranma ate his meal in silence. Ranma chan walked
away to the Dojo.
	About an hour later Ranma-chan emerge from the Dojo with a frustrated look on
her face. the workout had done nothing to ease her tension. She headed towards
the bath side stepping casually as a familiar bicycle landed beside her.
"NIHAO!" said Shampoo happily. Ranma looked at her. "..." "Ranma take Shampoo
to date?" squealed the eternally peppy Amazon. "........no thanks" replied
Ranma. Shampoo looked at her for a moment following her as she slowly stalked
to the bathroom. "What wrong?" she asked with an odd look. ".......nothin'"
said Ranma. Shampoo looked at Ranma worried. "Ranma mad at Shampoo?" she asked
timidly. ".....nope" replied Ranma with a maddeningly expressionless face.
Shampoo's face lit up and a cheerful smile appeared. "Ranma mad at Akane?" she
asked cheerfully. "......nope." replied Ranma in her emotionless monotone
voice. Shampoo thought for a moment and looked frustrated...then she noticed
where she was. "Aiya! Is bathroom?" she thought. She turned to see Ranma
Soaking in the tub with her eyes closed. "What you doing?" she asked looking
at Ranma oddly. "Takin a bath." replied Ranma. Shampoo's face lit up and she
grabbed Ranma in a hug. "Is no embarrassed?! Shampoo so happy!" she shrieked
as she pulled Ranma part way out. "Hey! Hey!" said Ranma a little irritated.
Shampoo stopped for a moment. "His voice..." she said as she turned her gaze
down. She poked at her breast for a moment. "Um could you stop that?" asked
Ranma. Shampoo felt the water, it was very hot.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
	Ranma and Akane burst into the bathroom with worried looks on their faces.
"Shampoo what are you ..." said Akane looking at the histerical Amazon, as she
staired at the two Ranma's. "Ranma what did you do to her?" she growled. "None
of your damn business I'm not engaged to you anymore so I don't have to answer
that." she said coldly. Akane looked at her. "Y-your right..." she said as a
horrible realization hit her. Ranma sighed and looked at them "She followed me
in here." she finally answered.  Shampoo looked at the two Ranma's with
seeming calm, her mind raced as she tried to decide what to decide or say,
finally she did the first thing that came to her mind. "Female Ranma I kill!"
she said as she turned towards Ranma-chan. "WHAT?!" said Both Ranma's in
unison.
	Ryoga Hibiki stood frozen in fear and embarrassment against a wall in the
hallway of this weird place. "What am I gonna do?!" he thought as he held
himself in a desperate attempt to disguise his nudity. 
	The residents looked around for the strange boy who had emerged from the
managers room in the buff. "To think you weren't young enough..." said
Itchinose to the distraught Yusaku Godai. "Ky-Kyoko..." he sobbed. "Would you
two cut it out I was not giving him a bath!!" said Kyoko angrily as she barely
held her own composure. "I can be younger I swear!!" sobbed Godai
pathetically. Yotsuya watched from his hiding place with mild interest,
suddenly a hand grabbed him from behind. "You!" said a voice.
	Ryoga put the man against the wall. "What is it young man?" asked Yotsuya.
"Give me back my things you thief!" he angrily whispered. "Consider your
position I need only call and..." said Yotsuya calmly. "And it will be the
last sound you ever make." said Ryoga as he put his arm through the wall.
Yotsuya looked at the hole. the boy had put his arm through not only the wall
but the timber support inside it as well. Yotsuya was about to speak when a
jet of water seemed to knock the boy over. "Cool off kid." said Akemi as she
turned the jet off. "Thank you Akemi dear." said Yotsuya, but Akemi was
stairing at the ground with her mouth agape. "Surely it must be impressive if
*you*..." he trailed off as he looked at the small angry little pig biting his
ankle with the boy no where in site.
