The Pig-tailed Goddesses
   After a little while, Akane was running along the streets, pant-
ing.
   "Where in the world is he? I'm going to kill him!"
   Just then, she saw a pigtailed red haired girl walking ahead of
her, with her back facing Akane. As soon as Akane saw this,
   "There you are! Stay still so I can beat you to pulp!"
   Just as the red haired girl started to turn around to see what
was going on, Akane slammed down on her with her mallet. But in-
stead of the customary *thunk* "erk", she heard a *swish* *thunk*.
Bewildered, she saw that there was a very angry looking Ranma (fe-
male) in front of her, holding a very sharp sword towards her. She
also saw that her mallet has been sliced into two halves and were
lying beside Ranma.
   `What's gone into Ranma's head this time?'  Akane thought.
But before she had the chance to say anything, Ranma said, "What
do you think you're doing?" in a very menacing voice.
   Akane, becoming unnerved by this, just said, "Ah, I think I'll
just be going to the dojo." She then backed off and started running
towards Dr. Tofu's.
   "What a kawaiikune tomboy," the kimono-clad pigtailed red
haired girl said as Akane ran off.

	Would not Akane be suspisious of Ranma in a kimono under normal 
circumstances (esp. if she saw her in different clothes five minutes ago 
;)?

   `It's the demon! It's the demon! It's the ...,' Ranma-chan kept
on thinking, too shocked to say it aloud. But before she could turn
around and run away,
   "It's a demon!", the demon yelled, and then she pulled out a
very sharp looking katana.
   "How dare you take my form. Die!"
   The girl started to attack him with the very sharp katana, a
katana that looked like it could cut through steel very easily, a
katana that could certainly cut through humans without difficulty,
a katana ...
   "Aahh!" Ranma-chan yelled and did the only thing that could
be done.

	If Nodoka shows up/has already shown up, she would be bound to 
notice that 'Ranko' is a Dead Ringer(tm) for her missing son's Twin 
Sister and start asking a few questions immidiately.

1. What is Nodoka's surname? In Western culture (at least the parts I
   know of), the surname should be Saotome, but in Korea, the wife
   gets to keep her surname. I guess Japan would be like Korea in this
   matter.

	AFAIK, either the Wife adopts the Husbands surname or the other 
way around.

2. Vote for your favorite candidate for Ranma's sister's name.

	Not a clue.

3. Anyone want to suggest a better title? The current one is really
   lame, though slightly better than the original one.

	Siblings

4. And, of course, anything you want to see in the story? I have a
   vague idea of where I should head, but I don't know much about what
   will happen in between.

	More mix-ups would be appropiate (Run-in with Kodachi is a must), 
but could get a little old.  Personally I think she should be the first 
to find out about her brother and his afflictions, whereupon she begin's 
to take great pains to help him keep his head.
