	“Trust me daddy, Akane would sooner marry a woman than
Ranma....and I don’t mean Ranma’s girl form either.
	“Perhaps I should engage Ranma to YOU then?”  Soun 
retorted.
	“If you do, I’ll simply wait until I’m eighteen, continuing to
date as I please till then and the engagement will be invalid and 
useless since I’ll be legally old enough to make my own choices.”  
Nabiki said in a bored tone of voice.
	“Well Kasumi....After what happened to Akane in the 
bathtub....and what Nabiki just made clear to me....I’m considering
engaging you to Ranma.”  Soun replied.  

	Actually, I did a short beta fic on roughly the same subject a 
while back, though it got quickly sidetracked...

	“Then why are you engaging Kasumi to Ranma?  Shouldn’t it be Akane and
Ranma since there’re the marital artists?”  Genma scribbled furiously on
his signs.  “Kasumi is unsuited for Ranma.”
	“What do you suggest Saotome?!”  Soun said, a note of 
anger growing in his voice.  “Akane doesn’t want to marry him!
If I force her they’ll only bicker and hurt each other!  Akane and 
Ranma can still carry on the school as partners and not as husband 
and wife.”  he finished, trying to be logical.

	Yep, the conflicts are setting up nicely here.
	And how will Doc Tofu feel about this, hm?

	How do you like it so far?  I wrote this when I realized that, aside
from lemon fanfics, no one had ever, to my knowledge, done a serious
fanfic on Ranma and Kasumi as a possible couple.  This is probably
because Ranma and Kasumi are almost complete opposite in personality and
style.  You've have to be crazy to put them together, hence this fanfic
was born.

	It definitely has possibilities...

	Would like to see more,

SKJAM!
