     Putting the finishing touches to her tea tray Kasumi smiled 
to herself.  After having to listen to her two younger sisters 
argue in the living room for the last half hour, she had decided 
that a nice tea was necessary to regain at least a little peace 
within the household...

                     Speaking of Horses...
                       written: 10/2/2001

     I'm sorry I haven't been writing (well, I've doing a lot of 
writing actually, I just haven't FINISHED anything) as of late, 
and I'm hoping that this work heralds my future (soon) pieces.  
I'd also like to publicly thank my friend Skuld, who not only 
gave me valuable C&C on this short, but also helped supply the 
extra Japanese names that I needed (once we'd stopped laughing at 
all the possible innuendoes).

     And, of course, all characters mentioned from Ranma 1/2 are 
owned by Rumiko Takahashi.  Warning:  This fan fiction is a 
"Lime" and suggests adult content.

     "...I just can't believe you, Akane!  I mean, okay, so it 
could have been a startling experience for someone new to the 
whole thing, but jeez..."

     "Hey!  I was scared, damn it!"

     Glancing back down to a photo lying on the table Nabiki 
muttered, "Well......"

     As the door slid open both girls turned to see Kasumi enter, 
carrying a readied tea set.  Calmly setting it between the two 
quarrelling younger sisters she then sat to join them.

     "Whatever is the matter?"

     Unable to stop herself from smirking, Nabiki watched as 
Akane's face began to flush a deep red before turning to her old 
sister and saying, "I just discovered the reason for Akane's 
initial reluctance at being engaged to Ranma."

     Watching as Akane turned and verbally lashed out at Nabiki 
telling her to shut up, Kasumi couldn't help but notice that most 
of her youngest sister's skin discoloration was being caused not 
due to anger, but from embarrassment.

     Unable to hold her own curiosity in any longer, the eldest 
Tendo daughter said, "Oh, what could that possibly be?"

     Snickering out loud Nabiki said, "It appears that during the 
infamous furo incident, oh so many months ago when her fianc�e 
first arrived, our dear little sister got the shock of her life."  
With that she slid a photo across the table towards Kasumi, who 
picked it up.

     The photo held a picture of Ranma, an oft target of Nabiki's 
photography skills.  This one, however, was of Ranma climbing out 
of the Tendo family furo...

     ...completely naked in all of his glory.

     There was a long moment of silence, though Kasumi herself 
would later swear that she could hear every single drop of blood 
as it moved straight to her head, gifting her with a blush that 
ran well below the neckline.

     "Umm... er... well then..."

     Still grinning Nabiki cut in saying, "Kind of takes your 
breath away, doesn't it?"  Reaching forward she then plucked the 
picture from Kasumi's nerveless fingers while adding, "First 
viewing is free, duplicates of your own cost money."

     Taking a moment to clear her throat Kasumi turned to the 
still flustered Akane and said, "Don't worry Akane, I understand.  
Running into something like... that... would be rather... er... 
intimidating for someone a little inexperienced."

     Almost growling in frustration Akane shot back, "Kasumi!  He 
could kill someone with that thing!"

     "Oh yes!" Nabiki added while taking another appreciative 
look at the photo in her hands.  "The boy most definitely lives 
up to his name."

     "Of course he does, he's a Saotome."

     All three girls froze at the older feminine voice.

     Stepping into the room Saotome Nodoka sat down at the table 
and poured herself tea.  After taking a sip and sighing in 
contentment she then said, "Saotome Ranma and Genma, do you think 
it's a coincidence that they are named so?  Did you know that 
Genma's father was named Nagama, or his uncle Jinma?  I have even 
heard that Ranma's great grandfather claimed the name Saotome 
Tsuyoma."  Then pausing for a moment she added with a quiet little 
smile, "I surely didn't marry Genma for his sparkling 
personality."

     Another long silence ran its course through the room, 
until...

     Fingers fidgeting with the hemline on her dress Kasumi 
suddenly asked, "So, Akane, you have..." and managed to blush 
once again while finishing her question with a limp gesture.

     Jumping to her feet Akane practically screamed, "NO!!!"

     "Oh... well then... I... I should probably go start dinner."  
And with that the eldest Tendo daughter unsteadily got up and 
left for the kitchen.

     Nodoka just sat and smiled as she watched Nabiki continue to 
poke fun at Akane, and it was several minutes later when Kasumi's 
voice was heard from the kitchen.

     "Auntie Nodoka?  Do you know if Ranma enjoys wine with his 
steak?"

     As the question rang out the back and forth between Akane 
and Nabiki stopped, then as one they turned and looked at the 
Saotome elder.

     An ear-to-ear grin on her face she answered, "To be honest 
I'm not sure dear.  I would recommend a red though, something... 
wet."

     Jumping to her feet Nabiki stomped off in the direction of 
the kitchen while loudly saying, "Oh no you don't!  I saw him 
first!"

     Two seconds later Akane also left yelling, "Hey!  That's MY 
fianc�e you're talking about here!"

     Still sitting at the living room table, Saotome Nodoka 
closed her eyes in pleasure as she took another sip of tea while 
visions of grandchildren filled her mind.  Eventually, thoughts 
of Soun and Genma joined them and she snorted.

     "Months of scheming and all they had to do was hide the 
boy's towel at the right moment."
