Ranma is laying face first on the ground looking rather in pain.
"I can't believe I was going to go out with you!" Akane snarls at the
lifeless body 
of Ranma.
"Whaf diph ee dol? (That is smashed face first into the ground talk for
'What did I do?')
Akane gets a look of surprise on her face.
"What did you do? You ask me out on a date.. to Ukyo's restaurant?!"
Kain walk's over to Akane.
"What is wrong with going to Ukyo's restaurant?" Kain asks.
Akane looks down to Ranma.
"Ukyo is another of  Ranma's little fiance's."
"Another fiance?" Kain raises an eyebrow.
"You sly dog." He can't help but crack a small smile.
Ranma stands up and points his finger at Kain.
"It isn't like that! It is all my dad's fault!" Ranma shouts in his
defense.
"There is no way I could marry someone like you!" Akane shouts as she
starts towards
the door. 
"I feel the same way!" Ranma screams back as he turns to find Soun in his
face.
Soun eye's tear up. "Please don't do this!" Soun cries.
Akane walks over to her father and backs him into a wall.
"I refuse to marry Ranma!"
Soun looks at Akane. 
"You don't have a choice, now be a good girl and go on a date with..."
Before Soun can finish Akane stomps out the door.
"Then I am leaving!" She screams on her way out.
"Gee, that went well." Kain add's on his way to the kitchen. "I think I
will go get some food." 
Soun looks at Ranma.
Ranma sighs. 
"I know, I know." 
Ranma goes up to his room and takes out his backpack that is already packed
for 
this occasion. After he is all ready, he heads out to look for Akane.
Kain walks back in from the kitchen.
"nothing good to eat in there.." He notices the missing Ranma.
"Hey Soun, were did Ranma go?" Kain asks.
Soun falls to his knee's crying.
"Sorry I asked." 

***

Ranma is laying in his usual spot, in the grass beside that river looking
thing.
"Stupid tomboy! I try and be nice and all I get is this."
Ranma pulls out an apple and takes a bite.
"I wonder if it is even worth it, maybe I should just go back to China."
Ranma slowly closes his eye's, drifts into a quiet sleep, and begins to
dream.

**DREAM SEQUENCE**

"Akane, I have finally come back from China. While I was there I found a
cure
for my curse. Now I am ready to marry you."  
Akane looks at Ranma.
"Ranma, I am sorry, I can't." She says as she points her hand, palm turned
up.
Kunou walks in to sight.
"You see Ranma, While you were gone I married Kunou." She smiles
Ranma falls back and grabs at his heart.
"No! Tell me it isn't true Akane!" Ranma yells.
"Yes, it is of a true nature that I shall take her from such a wrench such
as yourself."
Kunou states.
"Besides Ranma, He is more of a man than you could ever be." She kisses
Kunou.
Fire shoots up from the ground surrounding Ranma.
"NOOOO!!!!" Ranma screams as he is engulfed in the flames.
He turns around and tries to run still on fire. He looks up and before him
is a 
giant man eating toe!

**END DREAM SEQUENCE**

Ranma shoots up sweating perfusly. Around him stand Genma and Kain.
"Are you ok Ranma?" Kain questions
"Akane married Kunou!! And then the giant toe came to..." Ranma stops
as he notices he is awake, and that it was all a sick dream.
Genma scratches his head.
"Giant toe's?" Kain looks at Ranma dumbfounded.
"What? You never dream about giant man eating toe's?" Ranma asks Kain as he
stands up.
Kain looks away.
"Well there was that dream about the naked fish headed turtle that lived in
the toaster.."
Kain looks back at Ranma. He and his father are staring at Kain oddly.
Kain not likeing there weird stare changes the subject.
"Anyways, we found Akane." Kain tells Ranma.
Ranma pulls on his backpack.
"Ok, lets go get her." Ranma looks like he doesn't really care.
"She is staying at Ukyo's house." Genma tells Ranma.
Kain looks at Genma oddly.
"she was with Ukyo?"
Genma looks back at Kain.
"yea, why?"
"I thought that Akane hated Ukyo?" Kain questions.
Ranma starts walking towards Ukyo's. 
"Akane and Ukyo are pretty good friends, but when *I* say here name Akane
freaks!"
Genma starts towards home.
"You two go get Akane, I'll be waiting at home."
"Ok, pop."

***

Ranma and Kain arrive at Ukyo's. Ranma knocks on the door.
"Go away Ranma!" Akane screams.
Kain pushes Ranma back.
"Let me try Ranma"
Kain knocks at the door.
"Akane it is me, Kain. Will you at least let me in to talk to you?"
The door opens, Kain walks in. Ranma trys to follow but gets a door in the
face.
"What is it Kain?" Akane asks
"Well Ranma..."
Kain trails off as he notices Ukyo. 
"Hi there sugar." Ukyo says to the now drooling Kain
"Wow. You really are beautiful."
"So, I take it you are Kain?" Ukyo says with a smile.
"What about Ranma, Kain?" Akane asks.
Kain remembers why he is here.
"Oh yea, Ranma wants to give it a second try."
"There is no way I am going on a date with that pervert!" Akane screams.
Ukyo raises an eyebrow at Akane.
"What if we double date?" 
Akane looks at Ukyo.
"But Ukyo, who are you going to go with?"
Ukyo walks over to Kain.
"I will go with this cutie pie."
Kain gets a Huge smile.
"Really?! You will go with me?" Kain gets ready to jump for joy.
"Wait, I thought you were also engaged to Ranma?" Kain looks into Ukyo's
eyes.
Ukyo takes a deep sigh.
"Yes, but I have to realize that Ranma may never choose to be mine... He
likes Akane
not me." Ukyo looks down to the ground.
Kain takes Ukyo's hand.
"It's ok."
"So does that mean you are giving up on Ranma Ukyo?" Akane asks
"I am not sure.. maybe."

***

Akane and Ranma sit at a table in a nice restaurant.
"Akane, Didn't you say that Kain was coming too?"
"Yes Ranma, Just wait."
Ranma stands up as Ukyo walks in.
"Hey Ukyo!" Ranma shouts.
"Oh, hi Ranma."
Just then Kain walks in behind her. They both walk over to the table and
sit next to Akane and
Ranma.
"Ukyo, what are you doing here?" Ranma asks getting uneasy.
"She is with me." Kain says with a smile.
Ranma falls back in his seat.
"What do you mean with you?!" Ranma screams, finger almost in Kain's eye.
"Kain and I are on a date also."
Ranma flips the table over.
"What do you mean a date?"
Kain stands up pushing the chair back.
"What the hell is your problem Ranma? Are you planning on marrying two
people at
once now?"
"Shut up Kain!" Ranma pushes him.
"Uh oh." Ukyo looks at Akane.
"I should of known!!" Akane yells as she gets up from her seat."
Akane fuming marches out of the restaurant.
"Damnit Ranma! You are just a selfish bastard!" Kain screams getting right
up in Ranma's face."
"You are dead Kain." Ranma reaches back.
"Wha..." 
Kain is stopped short as Ranma socks him right in the face. Kain wipes the
blood from  his 
lip.
"That is it Ranma, Now it is on."
Kain clenches his fist until it begins to bleed, his eyes begin to turn a
faint of red.
Ranma assumes a fighting stance.
