I've had this thing laying around for a while, but never posted it because
it was meant for a discussion which had died by the time I got around to
writing it.  Recently, though, I saw a post which reminded me of it, and
so...

An Untitled Spamfic 
by David A. Tatum

Ah, come on... this is a spamfic, do I REALLY need a disclaimer?  Oh, all
right... this stuff belongs to Rumiko Takahashi, not me... do I need to say
any more than that?

Ah, well... here goes.
--------------------------

"KYAH!"  Akane's battle cry sounded through the dojo as her snapping front
kick flew towards her target.

Ranma quickly sidestepped and tapped Akane on the shoulder.  Unfortunately
for Akane, she had decided to sacrifice much of her balance for increased
speed, and so the little shove was enough to send her falling on her butt.

"Ow..." Akane wince, rubbing her slightly bruised derriere.  

Ranma smiled at the sight.  "You know, Akane, sometimes you look so kawa-"

Before Ranma could complete his sentence, Akane jumped up and pulled a
mallet out of nowhere.  "RANMA NO BAKA!"  She cried, sending the mallet
flying for her fiancee's head.

Ranma dashed back, wide-eyed, narrowly avoiding a concussion.  "What? 
What'd I say?"

The mallet swung at him again.  "You were going to call me kawaiikune
[uncute] again, weren't you?!" She growled angrily.

"What?!  NO!  I was going to say that you were-"  Ranma dodged another
strike, leaping to the side.

"What?  Were you going to call me kawaiisoo [pathetic]?  Give me a break,
Ranma!  I MIGHT not be as good at martial arts than you, but I was MORE
than capable of defending myself before you came along!"  Once more, the
mallet sped down at Ranma's head.

Ranma leapt back, watched the mallet land, and stepped on it to keep Akane
from picking it up again.  "Of course not!"

Akane began to built up the strength to flip Ranma off of her mallet so she
could resume her attacks.  "Well what, then?  What were you going to call
me?"

Ranma leaned in close, challenging Akane with his eyes.  "Well, Akane, I
WAS going to call you kawaii (cute), but if you're going to take that much
offense at it..."  He turned away and started to march out of the dojo.  

Akane looked at him in shock, her eyes glistening.  'He thought I looked
kawaii?  But then...'  

Ranma stopped at the exit and glanced over his shoulder.  "Oh, and by the
way... gotcha back!"  He darted out the doorway, laughing.

'He... he tricked me again.  Why that JERK!'  She pulled up her mallet and
charged after him, a merry "RANMA NO BAKA!!!!" following her out the door.

Okay, so I'm no expert on Japanese.  Still, I think that this is a perfect
example of why it's sometimes necessary in a fanfic...
