Ranma 1/2 Hidden Motivations
AKANE TENDO



"Make sure you wash him all over, Ranma!"

It's not as if I _meant_ to overhear anything.
I was just listening so closely for Ranma to 
say something, _anything_, that I heard him say,
"Um, so, Ryouga..."

_Ryouga? What's he doing here?_ I silently slid 
the door to the bathroom open, not knowing why I 
had the sudden feeling of a voyeur in my own home, 
that feeling of doing something not quite proper...

A feeling which was reinforced by the sound of
Ryouga's voice from beyond the inner door. "Damn
you, Ranma!"

"No, wait!"

I only cracked the inner door open, just wide
enough to glance inside, and I what I saw...

Ranma, as I'd last seen him (as a woman), and 
Ryouga. Bare-naked. Sitting in the bath. That I'd 
asked Ranma to put my new pet pig in.

The logic was unescapable, especially with Ranma
him- er, her- self sitting right in front of 
Ryouga. 

I whispered to myself, "Ryouga's... the pig?"
The part of my mind that I knew came from Nabiki
(which, to be honest, I don't use much. Or... at
all...) totalled it, rang it up, printed out a 
reciept, and told me quite calmly that this curse 
of Ryouga's must be Ranma's fault somehow.

Why else would he be after my (ha) fiance? That
bread feud thing had been pretty weak, the kind 
of plot a hack manga artist would use...

I stood up quietly and walked out the door, 
brushing by Uncle Saotome in the hall. I smiled
as a plot occured to me. 

It would really tick off Ranma, I could see that
now, and I was sure Ryouga wouldn't mind a one-
night prank on the person he wanted to beat up.

I mean, how long could the joke possibly go on?



AUTHOR'S NOTES

Well, been a while since I've done one of these,
although (as with the last one) I'm certain that 
_someone's_ thought of this angle before...

By the way, I'm aware that Rumiko Takahashi is
not a hack manga artist, but feel free to flame at
will. I love a chance to be politely insulting...
