What has Gone Before - 

	Hiromi Mitsuyama has come to find her fiancee Ranma Saotome, who she
has had a crush on for some time. Her father arranged with Genma to
marry their children, and Hiromi was ecstatic. She and her father took a
trip to China to celebrate, and wound up at the 'Enchanted Ponds' (or
something similar - Chinese seems to be a difficult language to master,
neh?), much to the consternation of the Guide, who had just gotten rid
of two martial artists. She narrowly avoided every spring in the
training ground with the aid of her father and the guide, but wound up
falling into a briar, which concealed a pool that even the guide had
never seen before. 
	She returned to Japan and found that Ranma had moved to a new place, so
she decided to pursue him. Hiromi had no real choice, her father had
suffered a nervous breakdown, and her mother was gone - she had run off
to join a temple when she discovered what had happened to her daughter.
	Directions from Ryoga got her nowhere, but she eventually made it to
the Nekohanten (in Overfiend-form), where Mousse mistook her for Ranma,
and got splattered. Cologne dropped a few hints and took off with
Shampoo.
	Hiromi finally made it to the dojo after mincing Sailor Moon and Tuxedo
Mask. There she nearly killed Akane and Ranma-chan (she doesn't know
about his curse, yet), but was stopped by a quick thinking Nabiki with a
mixing bowl full of hot water.
	

Urotsukidoji 1/2 Part 2 - 
Overfiancee vs. The Universe

Tendo Dojo - The next morning:
	
	Of the many trials and tribunals that have been held over the years,
few have had the rage and bitterness of that morning around the Tendo's
breakfast table. Nuremburg was Bourbon Street at Mardi Gras by
comparison. Genma sat there, noisily eating breakfast while the others
stared at him with emotions ranging from ... well, they all wanted to
kill him, really. 
	Soun hadn't stopped crying since last night, and Nabiki had been on the
phone for hours 'making arrangements'. Akane had punched Ranma and gone
to sleep, wondering where P-Chan had disappeared to now. Ranma ate
quietly for once. He was pretty sure he was going to catch hell for his
father's latest screw-up, and his guard was up. Not only that, there had
been huge hoofprints in the yard with what was left of a black piglet
wearing a familiar bandanna crushed flat in one of them. He didn't dare
tell Akane...
	Hiromi was in a small cell-like room (originally designed for
Happousai) of featureless steel with no apparent door. A meal had been
left for her, but no water. She had spent most of the evening crying,
fearing her chances with Ranma were ruined. She was probably right.

	Below the dojo, outside a featureless steel panel, Tataewaki Kuno stood
vigilant guard over the sorcerer Ranma Saotome. 'Odd,' he had thought.
'Why would Nabiki Tendo call me (after midnight!) and urge me to come to
the Tendo Dojo?' Kuno smiled, remembering the conversation -
	Nabiki: Kuno-baby, you've just got to come over!
	Blue Thunder: But why? It's late, and I don't want any pictures
tonight...perhaps tomorrow.
	Nabiki: It's Ranma. Akane got fed up with him and locked him in the
cell we'd built for Happousai.
	Blue Thunder: What ?! I'll be over immediately!!
Little did he realize that Nabiki had intended him as a guard, rather
than to console Akane by beating that foul magician to a pulp.

	Ranma finished his breakfast and stood. The Tendos glanced briefly at
him, then returned their threatening gazes to Genma, who was already
halfway to the door. Soun dragged Genma back by the collar of his gi,
while Ranma mumbled, "I've got some chores to take care of..."
	Nabiki asked, "Don't you want to hear the excuse for this Ranma? It's
sure to be a good one..." 'And since when did you do any work around
here?'
	Ranma shook his head. "If I know Pops, it's either food or..." Ranma
paused. "Yes, probably food." He walked out of the room, leaving his
father to the Tendos' mercies.
	He went first to the workshop where the Tendo's kept the tools that
were so often needed to repair the dojo. Selecting a shovel, he proceded
to the hoofprint that contained a now even messier black piglet and
stained bandanna.
	"Well, Ryoga, I guess you'll blame this on me, too," he said to the
pig. He began digging. "Not that I'm sorry to see you go, but you've
been such a jerk, always making Akane mad at me. And sleeping with
her...!" Ranma forced himself to calm down. He scooped up the pig with
the shovel and unceremoniously dropped it into the hole, then buried
him.
	"How sentimental," said Ryoga behind him with a sneer.
	"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!" Ranma screamed, "What are
you, a ghost? Youre dead! I... I... I just buried you..." Ranma winced,
"You're not here to haunt me, are you?"
	Ryoga grinned. "Not quite," he said and sucker-punched the astonished
Ranma through a wall. "Hrmm, plan A worked very well. That pig was
supposed to keep Akane company until I returned, and it seems to have
done it's job. I wonder why Ranma was burying it...No matter. Now as
soon as I can find some cold water, I'll resume my position in lovely
Akane's arms..."
	Ryoga wandered off in search of water.
	Ranma grinned hearing this. He thought, 'Good luck, piggy. All water to
Nerima has been turned off. I don't know how, but Nabiki has taken care
of quite a bit. She's really very good. And cute, too. Not like
Akane...' Ranma's musings were cut short by the sounds of sirens.
	Nabiki came from the dojo looking slightly ill, but still in charge,
while Akane and Kasumi helped their shaking father out. An ambulance
screeched to a halt inches from Ranma. Paramedics rushed out the back of
the vehicle and were directed into the dojo by Nabiki.
	Ranma approached the others as the police arrived. Nabiki walked over
and spoke to one of the policemen. Ranma asked Akane, "What happened in
there?"
	Akane looked at him with frightened eyes. She pulled him away from
Kasumi and her father. "My father ... then, your father... well, Daddy
attacked him..." She started sobbing. "I'm so sorry..." she cried. 
	Ranma asked nervously, "What did he do? My father isn't a pushover."
	Akane sniffed, "I never knew the Giant Demon Head Ki Attack was so
powerful..."
	Ranma looked up to see the paramedics taking a stretcher out of the
dojo. The paramedics had draped a sheet over the contents. They left
without sirens.
	
	Nabiki finished her conversation with the police and returned to her
family. Soun was crying into Kasumi's shoulder as she patted him and
made noises of consolation. Akane and Ranma came closer to hear what she
was saying.
	"The Inspector has agreed not to take Daddy away," she said. "I
convinced him that the monster that rampaged through Nerima last night
was responsible." She glared at Ranma. "I also had to promise that you
would destroy the monster."
	"Destroy!? But she's just a girl ?!"
	"Yes, Ranma. A girl that nearly killed you and Akane last night, and
apparently got Mousse and two others also. You have to put an end to all
this, Ranma."
	"Let me have some time to think about this, Nabiki," said Ranma. 
	Nabiki nodded. "Take all the time you need. You have one hour. I have
some calls to make." She returned to the dojo and went inside.
	Kasumi said, "Akane, help me get father to bed, then I'll need help
cleaning up."
	They all went inside. Ranma went to his room while Akane and Kasumi put
their father to bed, still gibbering and mumbling "A bowl of instant
ramen...", then began cleaning. From Nabiki's room, the sound of her
abacus rattled like a tommy-gun in a gangster movie. 

	Ranma was still is shock an hour later when Shampoo burst into his room
and jumped into his lap with an scream of delight. "Aiyaaa! Shampoo so
happy to see Ranma! You come to date with me and Great Grandma have
something she want to tell you!"
 	Ranma pushed her away, but not before the Tendo girls had appeared in
his doorway. Nabiki muttered, "This is not the time to flirt with
Shampoo, Ranma..." while Akane punched Ranma into orbit.
	"Shampoo no like you any more, Akane. I not kill you before because it
break Ranma's heart. Now I not so sure ..." She leaped from Ranma's
window and left.
	Akane was shaking with rage and disbelief. "What did she say?" she
asked quietly.
	Kasumi said, "She said killing you would break Ranma's heart, but now
she's not sure. Do you think that she really would try to kill you?
Ranma's probably a bit upset right now. Are you sure you should have
punched him like that?"

	Several miles away, at Crossroads Junior High School science lab, Ami
Mizuno was hard at work. Tons of electronic gear and some heavy
machinery filled the lab, which had danger signs on practically
everything. On a tripod sat a dangerous looking device which resembled a
particularly nasty sort of weapon designed to destroy space armadas. It
is vaguely shaped like a tube, a meter long, with numerous bumps and
shiny things on it. Power cables the size of anacondas connect the
device to various machines. The weapon assumption is further
corroborated by a small cinderblock wall which has been set up opposite
the tripod. It has seen better days. 'Serena is late again,' she
thought. 'But that actually makes my work easier. She isn't really good
for much, now that I think about it...' Her Mercury Bubble Laser would
be tested today with the portable power supply. 'Hopefully that geek
Melvin had finished testing the power supply. I couldn't tell him what I
needed it for, and I didn't have time to work it out myself.'
	Ami heard a knock at the door. She kept the door to the lab locked for
'safety' reasons (as she had explained to the principal). A careless
student could be injured or her 'optics' research could be compromised
very easily. She opened the door a crack and saw Melvin. 
	"I've got your super-battery ready, Ami. But why did you ask me to put
shoulder straps on it? There's nothing portable that could use power
like that!" Ami let him in and closed the door behind him. The thing he
carried resembled one of the powerpacks from Ghostbusters. He instantly
spotted the laser. "Wow, Ami! That's really cool!"
	He put down the power pack and went to examine several printouts of
test results. Mutters of "Gee whiz!" made Ami wince as she connected the
cables from the power pack to her laser. Melvin poured over the
printouts exitedly. "Ami," he said, "you've got some bad data here, I
think. Your power output is several orders of magnitude above anything
in current research. I was just looking at an article on the internet
about laser focusing, and it's just nowhere near what these printouts
say. What are you using to focus your beam?"
	"MERCURY BUBBLES...!" shouted Ami.
	"Mercury whats?" asked Melvin, turning to face Ami, who was standing in
the reinforced blast-proof safety area. Too late, he saw that she had
readied the weapon and was aiming it out the firing port.
	"DESTROY!!!!!!!!!!!"
	A bluish beam erupted from the business end of the laser and
incinerated Melvin, the technical readouts, and most of the lab,
including the computer that had held Ami's data, in a terrific explosion
that rocked the school. Changing into Sailor Mercury, Ami quickly exited
the blast room. 'Perfect!' she thought. 'No more wimpy bubble attack,
now!' She begam to cackle, "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
	The Sailor Magic kept her classmates from recognizing her as she left
the lab area against the flow of curious students, although a few
wondered where the Black Rose was hiding. Once outside, she used her
communicator to call Sailor Mars.
	"What is it, Ami?" asked Rei. Although the same age as Serena and the
others, no one had ever known Rei to attend school. 
	"Are you at your temple? I need to see you, now."
	"Uh, yeah, Ami. What's up? Is it the Negaverse? Serena, Mina, and Lita
are still at school."
	"I'll get to them later," said Ami, with an odd edge in her voice.
	
	When she arrived at the temple, however, Mina, Lita, and Rei were
already changed. They noticed her new possessions, but there was
important news first. "Glad you could make it, Sailor Mercury," said
Artemis. "I didn't call since you were on the way, already, but there's
some bad news..."
	"What is it?" asked Ami in her concerned/meek voice. 
	"Serena is dead, Ami. I'm sorry. I know you were close," said Artemis,
voice filled with pain. "Darien and Luna are dead, also."
	Ami stood there in shock. 'Damn! Luna was the only one with sense
around here!' Aloud she said, "My gosh! What happened?"
	Artemis said, "That's what we're here to see. Sailor Mars?"
	As the other girls watched, Rei did her fire vision thing, and they
watched as Hiromi the Overfiancee killed Serena, Tuxedo Mask, and Luna.
They followed Hiromi's trail of destruction to the Tendo Dojo, where the
vision faded. 
	Artemis said, "Can you girls find that place?"
	Lita stood. "I can." Memories of childhood humiliation returned, almost
overwhelming her. To herself, she said, 'That's where I used to train.
Master Tendo your bratty daughter has no discipline! After killing this
Negathing, she's mine. And she'll pay dearly!'
	The Sailor Scouts left the temple with Sailor Jupiter in the lead.  

	Ranma landed on his feet about 20 yards from the Cat Cafe. One wall was
smashed in, and police tape was strung across the area. Cologne, perched
on her gnarled staff, spotted him and waved him over to her. 
	Ranma spoke first. "What do you want, you old mummy? Shampoo's already
screwed up my life, and today's really been bad." His voice held steady
only by huge martial effort.
	Cologne said, "If you problem is a huge tentacled monster, then I can
help, son-in-law."
	Ranma looked at Cologne accusingly. "Spill it."
	Surprisingly, she did.
	"Three thousand years ago, a terrifying monster plagued China. And a
few other places, besides, but that's not important now. It attacked
Joketsuzoku and killed many of our strongest warriors and did terrible
hentai things to them. From the energy it drained, it grew in size and
power, until we feared none could stop it. We knew of only one thing
that could stop it. Jusenkyo."
	"What?! Turn it into a duck, or something?" asked Ranma.
	"Be quiet and listen, son-in-law. Back then, the curse was different.
Anything that fell into a pool drowned, no matter what its form of
swimming ability. You may have wondered about the drowned octopus...
this is why.
	"The amazons," continued Cologne, "took every warrior who remained.
They attacked the monster, who we learned was called the Overfiend, and
drew back to Jusenkyo when it counterattacked. It followed them, but
knew of the curse, also. Only one of our number was thrown into a pool,
but many others died there as well. Fearing our ploy was a failure, the
reamining warriors fought back desperately, but the Overfiend chased
them around Jusenkyo like a cat with mice. That was his error, for there
was another pool, covered with brambles, which he did not notice in his
lust for beautiful amazon women. He fell in and drowned. Our warriors
covered the pool and left. Those that had been violated jumped into
other pools, and were drowned instantly.
	"Joketsuzoku's population was less than half of what it had been
before, and there were only a small number of warriors. Each therefore
took an oath that she would only marry a man who was stronger than she.
Only that way could we regain our former glory. You see now why you must
marry Shampoo."
	Ranma stood. "I knew this was just some ploy, you old crone. Stop
screwing up my life!"
	Cologne swept Ranma's legs with her staff. "You have much to learn,
son-in-law. We thought our danger was past, but when I was a young girl,
a sorcerer of dark power came to our villiage. He demanded to marry an
amazon girl. He seemed powerful, so we chose our best fighter, Lotion,
to pit against him. 
	"They fought for an hour, and were closely matched, but the sorcerer
used dark magic to rip the clothes from Lotion's body. Bravely, Lotion
did not let that stop her. The sorcerer, however, somehow had her
undergarments in his hands. In his moment of distraction, Lotion pounded
him senseless. None of the other amazons would fight him after that, and
he left in defeat. Only later did we learn of his terible intent, for he
vowed to have an amazon no matter what it took. 
	"We discovered the next day all our panties and bras were missing.
	"We tracked him to Jusenkyo, where we were in time to see him complete
his terrible spell. Using the things he had stolen from us, he enchanted
the pools to turn anything that fell into the pool into an amazon girl.
But his power was weak, and the bras and panties had addled his brains,
and the curse became what it is now. In most cases, only the first thing
that drowned in each pool gives its form to future victims, although
some of the pools closer to the sorcerer placed multiple forms upon
their victims. Remembering the ancient legend, we prayed that the
Overfiend had not been the first to drown in that pool, but I see now
that it was a false hope. So you see, Ranma, not only are you a powerful
son-in-law, but your female side has the strength of an amazon from our
most powerful times, and you will bear powerful children for our tribe!"
	Ranma's jaw dropped. He began backpedalling, and by the time Cologne
got to the end of her sentence, Ranma had run halfway down the block. He
jumped to a nearby roof and ran for the dojo at full speed, screaming.
	Cologne merely chuckled, "Soon enough, son-in-law. Soon enough."	
	
	Ranma reached the dojo breathless and sweating, and not from the easy
run from the Cat Cafe. Regretting that there was no way to bathe (hot
water could be cooled all to easily), he began to work out. Maybe that
would release some tension.
	
	"Ranma Saotome?" asked a female voice.
	Ranma turned with an overwhelming sense of dread. 
	Five women faced him. All were redheads. Their leader was a short woman
wearing a white blouse with a maroon vest. Her hair was spiked out of
control, making her look like a goldfish on acid. She was short, but had
an aura of confidence and power that Ranma couldn't help but admire.
	She said, "I am Washu, the smartest genius scientist in the Universe
and Leader of the SUperpowered Fighting FEmale Redheads, or SUFFER. But
please call me... Washu-chan!" She gestured for her associates to
introduce themselves while Ranma stood dumbfounded.
	The first was a woman of perhaps 20, with medium-short hair piled atop
her head. She wore a skimpy white bikini-like thing, and had some kind
of gun on her hip. "Hi, nice to meet you," she said to Ranma. "I'm Kei."
	The next girl was close to Kei's age, but her skin was dark, and her
spiky hair was worn in a long pony tail. She wore a VERY short dress
with oddly colored jewels set at various points. "I'm Shayla-Shayla. I
like guys in drag. Tuesday Socials will be pretty interesting, I think."
She smirked. She, too, had a suspicious pouch/pocket-like thing on her
hip, but it's purpose was a mystery to Ranma.
	Ranma gulped and paled visibly.
	The last two were closer to her age, and both wore school uniforms. One
had long, slightly pinkish hair and introduced herself as Nuku-Nuku. She
rushed to hug Ranma, who nearly had a fit (and wondered why), then sat
on the ground and began to contemplate her companions.
	The last one said, "I'm A-ko! It's great to meet you." She had medium
length hair worn loose, and wore odd armbands in addition to the school
uniform. 
	She bowed slightly to Ranma who had recovered enough to stammer, "None
of you wants to marry me or anything, right?" Silently he thought,
'Please no! Please no! Please no! Please no! Please no!'
	Washu-chan said, "Of course not. We're interested in your other side!
Your male half hardly qualifies you for SUFFER, you know..."
	Shayla-Shayla murmurred something like, "...cute in a dress...,"
but Ranma was already running for the dojo, where he ran straight into
Akane.
	Straight into Akane's chest, actually, as she was on the wooden floor
two steps up from the ground. Ranma bounced back and landed on his back.
"Ranma NO BAKA!!!!" she shouted. "You hentai!! I'll kill you myself!" As
Akane wound up to punt Ranma into orbit, Nuku-Nuku leaped at her. She
landed between Ranma and Akane, who couldn't stop her foot in time to
prevent kicking the cute girl.
	Akane's foot connected with a muted thunk, and Akane screamed and
clutched her foot. Blood welled up inside her sneaker as she collapsed.
Odd protrusions extended from behind Nuku-Nuku's head as she tumbled
through the air, and she landed perfectly beside the others.
	"No one hurts my friends!" said Nuku-Nuku.
	Akane fought to stand on her good foot and hopped inside. Ranma was not
so lucky - SUFFER rapidly surrounded him. Ranma shouted in vain, "But
I'm a GUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
	Washu-chan held her hands out in a typing position and a translucent
keyboard appeared before her. Above Ranma, a small black portal
discharged several gallons of cold water. "Welcome to SUFFER, Ranma,"
smiled Washu-chan.
	"I've been suffering since I came here," mumbled Ranma defeatedly.

	To make matters worse, Kuno chose that moment to emerge from the dojo
shouting, "Wretched sorcerer Saotome! How dare you injure lovely Akane!
Her scream tear at my heart! The vengance of heaven is slow, but my
vengance shall be swift!"
	Once he saw Ranma-chan, however, he shouted, "Pig tailed Goddess!" Then
he took in the rest of the surrounding women. "Six visions of Venus to
adore the Blue Thunder! How very fortunate that I am free to date with
you all!"
	A-ko cleared her throat, "Go away. We're busy." 
	Kuno took this as a come-on, and immediately rushed to her. "Lovely
angel, I am the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High School, Tataewaki Kuno. I
would like to give you the honor of dating me." A-ko's knee connected
with Kuno's groin hard enough to launch him over the fence and could
have carried him halfway to the Kuno mansion. 
	Kei shouted, "And _I'M_ Lovely Angel, you ass!!" She drew her laser and
fired, vaporizing Kuno's chest and allowing the other bits to fly off on
their own trajectories.
	Ranma smiled at that. "Serves that jerk right!" she said. She stood.
"I'm sorry for acting like this, it's just that lately my life's been
really tough, and today's been worse than usual. Actually, I can't join
your group because of my _uncute_ fiancee whose family I have to live
with. Besides, I have to get rid of another fiancee who turns into a
monster."
	Kei said, "No sweat, Ranma. We're sort of a mutual aid society. We'll
help you out. We like destruction!" She replaced her weapon after an
affectionate pat.
	As they stood in the yard talking, Dr. Tofu arrived. "Ranma, do you
know what happened to Akane's foot? All Nabiki would say is that she'd
been injured..."
	Ranma replied noncommitally, "She kicked someting she shouldn't have, I
guess."
	Dr. Tofu shook his head and entered the Dojo.

	Moments later, over the dojo wall leaped four girls in variously
colored sailor uniforms, shouting loudly.
	"In the name of JUPITER!"
	"MARS!"
	"VENUS!"
	"MERCURY!"
	Together they shouted, "We will punish you!!"
	Reacting by reflex and training, Kei drew her laser once more and
fired, hitting the long haired blonde in the orange uniform right in the
head. Smoking bits blew everywhere and covered her companions with gore,
as the headless corpse hit the ground and rolled a bit before stopping. 
	Shayla-Shayla drew the Lamp of Fire from her holster and fastened it to
her wrist. She pulled the rip cord, sending ribbons of red and blue fire
around her. A-ko, Nuku Nuku, and Ranma leaped at the attacking girls. 
	 Enraged, the Sailor Scouts continued their assault. 
	"MARS FIRE...IGNITE!!" She launched a fireball at A-ko, who flew
through it charred but undaunted to kick Mars in the teeth, knocking
several out. Sailor Mars reeled back under A-ko's martial assault,
falling back on her limited martial arts training. The onslaught was to
fast to allow her another fireball.
	"JUPITER THUNDER...CRASH!!" A lightning bolt crackled toward Nuku Nuku,
which she easily twisted around. Unfortunately, her metal chasis caused
the bolt to arc, and she absorbed the whole bolt and crashed to the
ground, smoking. 
	"MERCURY...screw it..." said Sailor Mercury, firing with the laser. She
played it over the shorter woman, but she seemed to be protected by a
shield. She turned to reorient when Shayla-Shayla's fire attack hit her
square in the chest. Her body bagan to burn from the wound outward, but
hadn't gotten very far when Melvin's powerpack's integrity failed and
Sailor Mercury vanished in a wave of supercorrosive acids and other
mystery chemicals. 
	Ranma's flying kick connected with Sailor Jupiter's head, but Jupiter
shook off the attack. "OK," she said. "Kung fu fighting it is. I warn
you, I'm really good!" Ranma had his/her first honest laugh in a long
time.
	A charred A-ko punched the bleeding Sailor Mars quickly in the gut,
doubling her over and setting her up for a haymaker right in the face.
Sailor Mars was picked up by the blow and hurled backwards into the
surrounding wall, where she lay still, her head at an unnatural angle. 
	Sailor Jupiter madly blocked Ranma's Amiguriken technique, retreating
as fast as she could. She realized quickly that she was overmatched, and
sought escape, but Ranma had been holding back for too long, now. He
pushed his attack until he had the Sailor Scout backed against the wall.
She was bruised over most of her body, and had a broken arm that hung
limply from her shoulder. Only her dreams of revenge on Akane Tendo kept
her fighting. She kicked Ranma and connected; Ranma's focus had been
lost in his ferocious outpour.
	The other SUFFERers watched the fight, except for Washu-chan, who had
her tool kit out and was working on Nuku Nuku. Sailor Jupiter spun and
leaped and kicked the now retreating Saotome, who was trying to 
reestablish his concentration. Seeing an opening, he grabbed the girl's
arm and attempted to throw her. Ranma realized her mistake when the girl
didn't try to pull away - Ranma had grabbed the broken arm! 
	Sailor Jupiter screamed triumphantly, "You die first, then Akane
Tendo!" She uppercut Ranma under the nose with all her might, in a move
known in Dirty Street Fighting circles as the One-Punch Lobotomy.
	Ranma calmly took the punch (it _did_ leave a bruise) and drilled
Sailor Jupiter with Tenshin Amiguriken to the face for a good five
minutes before A-ko tapped her on the shoulder. Sailor Jupiter would be
having a closed casket funeral. 
	
	Meanwhile, Dr. Tofu bandaged Akane's toe. "By some miracle, it's not
broken, but you're to stay off it. Those stitches won't hold up to your
usual activities." He smiled. "And try to sympathize with Ranma. Not
everything is his fault."
	"Yes, Doctor Tofu." Akane thought, 'Why did he bring that up? That
insensitive jerk is always flirting. He doesn't try very hard to avoid
it, that much is for certain.' 
	Kasumi was in the kitchen  cooking and worrying. Nabiki had shooed her
out when Dr. Tofu tried to amputate Akane's arm. Things certainly were
getting exiting around here...
	Nabiki, meanwhile, was watching Washu-chan with unbridled interest from
her window. 'Money gives some measure of power,' she thought, 'but that
woman twists the laws of physics themselves like they were rubber
bands!'
	
	Hiromi, momentarily forgotten in her cell, continued to cry and bemoan
her fate. The tears had pooled in her empty breakfast dishes, which had
not been collected. There was quite a bit, she noted sadly, but not
quite enough for her to change. She sighed morosely and wept again at
her pitiful life.

the ML - top few picks from anime or manga I know (I don't know it all,
but I know a good bit) will get it. I know I left out several potential
SUFFER members, feel free to add them if it works for your story.

Oh yes, if anyone here wants to write 'SUFFER: Tuesday Social [Lemon]',
be my guest. I'm a bit too shy for that... :)
