   A sudden far-fetched notion seemed to pop up into her mind, from
somewhere deep in left field. <Dad? Could he... ugh! Ranko is what? 17?,
Um... 1984... Mom would have still been alive then, but I just CAN�T see
{dad : Dad}
cheating on her...> as Nodoka tried to {denied : deny} the idea.

   <But how else? There are not very many bloodlines blessed with redheads
in Japan. Ranko�s a Tendo, and {dad : Dad} did know them quite well,
especially
Soun.... Could Soun have �arranged� something? Between {dad : Dad} and a....
NO!>
Her mind slammed shut that line of thought, even though she knew it was the
only one even remotely possible.

   "Please excuse me, I would I like to ask something too," Kasumi asked,
interrupting the two bickering antagonists. Both Cologne and Nabiki broke
from glowering at each other and turned to look at her. Kasumi might seem
shy, mild, or meek at times but when she spoke, people did listen. Kasumi
could feel the three pairs of eyes now watching her, and blushed. "Its
really not my place to say..." She started to answer, as a sudden bout of
shyness almost {stops : stopped} her. "But if it�s true about the Amazon's
treatment of
Jusenkyo victims, if Shampoo did receive a curse, and then still wanted
Ranma, claiming she needed him to help her adapt, wouldn�t the village be
honor-bound to help her court Ranma if she requested it, unless she
endangered the village?" she simply asked.

   "DAMN!" Cologne exclaimed in amazement, interrupting any answer Kasumi
might have had. <Kami, she looks so sweet and angelic, it�s easy to think
she doesn�t have an ounce of brains... until she spots the one thing no one
else ever did,> Cologne thought, as she shook her head. <I always thought
that Shampoo was just clumsy that day at Jusenkyo!> Cologne {realized :
thought} before
continuing.

   "By our own oath we had to help her, you know. So it was decided that I
would accompany and {aide : aid} her, to insure she didn�t endanger the
village."
Cologne paused for a moment to collect her thoughts before continuing.

   "I don�t know anything about your stupid �fail safes� but it wasn�t
stopping that baka rapist all that well! Ranma attacked first ME, then
AKANE! Even changing sex didn�t {phase : faze} her, she still was molesting
Akane,
and I can assure you neither one of us was �willing�! I HAD TO PHYSICALLY
DRAG THE BITCH OFF OF HER!" Nabiki shot back at Cologne in anger as she rose
from her chair, placing both hands flat on the table and lean menacingly
over the elder.

    "And how do you think a scrawny {under trained : undertrained} girl
like you managed
that?" Cologne answered Nabiki as she tried to keep her temper under
control. Cologne leaned back to stare directly into Nabiki�s face, while
waving her staff from side to side in front the girl, with an almost
hypnotic snakelike effect, like a cobra. Nabiki�s eyes followed the �head�
of the staff and the anger in her seemed to melt away. Suddenly the staff
jabbed forward and struck the girl squarely in the chest, knocking Nabiki
back and she fell with a loud "OMPH!" back down into her chair.

   Ono felt a stab of pain as he heard the fearful tone and saw dread in
Kasumi�s voice. <My poor angel!> He thought, as he could feel her distress.
"We at least have a starting point! I can call a cab! No, I can RENT a car!
I can..." He broke off as he realized he was babbling and he tried to regain
his composure. He reached out as Kasumi stumbled her way zombie-like into
{th
e : the} room and gathered her back into his embrace. He then reached up and
absentmindedly rubbed his hand across his face as he tried to think just
what his the best course of action would be. Some of the Amazon potion was
still unknowingly coating his fingers and he accidentally tasted it. "Yegh
Achhk Ughh!" Ono suddenly vocalized loudly, as his face contorted like he
had bitten into a sour lime at the taste and spat it out.
