	That last one was so full of errors, just throw things now.
ANyway, same story, less errors.  All the rules still apply.  Thanks
for your patience (if you've got any left).

{insert disclaimers, AGAIN}

"Akane, it's Dr. Tofu," Kasumi called.  "He wants to talk to you."

"Be right there, Kasumi."  Akane hurried down the stairs with
Nabiki close behind her.

Akane grabbed the phone from Kasumi and held it to her ear.
"Hello?  Dr. Tofu?"

"Yes, Akane.  I've found something that I think will interest
you.  If you want..."

"We'll be right over!"  Akane slammed down the phone.  "Come on,
Nabiki.  He found something."

"Great.  Let's get Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum and go."

"Ranma, Kuno-sempai!  We're going to Dr. Tofu's!" Akane yelled.

Ranma, who had been doing a little moonlight kata, heard her and
broke his form.  He headed for the door with Kuno following.  "I
really wish you'd stop following me and staring."

"Forgive me, but I find your plight fascinating."

"I bet.  Are you sure it's not just what I turn into?"

"Indeed, that has considerable..."  He coughed delicately.
"Merits.  Yet, to find that you are the cursee, not the curser, as
I originally believed...  I am intrigued."

"Yeah, fabulous.  Now will you back off?"  So Kuno wasn't trying
to kill him, he was just there for the free show.  Ranma
considered Kuno only slightly lower on the pervert scale than
Happosai.

"My company disturbs you?  Then I shall stay close to Akane Tendo.
Who can foretell her hour of need?"  Kuno strode past Ranma and
into the house.

Ranma scowled at Kuno's back.  'Flake,' he thought.  'Trying to
cozy up to my fianc...'  He ended that thought rather abruptly.

Akane greeted them excitedly with the news.  "Dr. Tofu said he had
some information and that we should go over right away."

"That's not what..."

"Who cares, Nabiki?  Now is not the time to get nit-picky."

Nabiki arched an eyebrow towards her sister.  "Well, if that isn't
the pot and the kettle..."

"Your sister is right, Nabiki Tendo.  There are more important
things to concern ourselves with."  He maintained his formality
with her; forgiveness was seemingly hard to come by.

Nabiki did her best to ignore him.  "Yeah, whatever.  Let's just
go."  She decided things were definitely turning sour.

***

"I can't believe you're tired.  You looked like you were ready to
run a marathon on the way over here," Nabiki whispered to a
yawning Akane.

The group was waiting for Dr. Tofu to get down a book.

"I can't tell you why this happened now," Tofu said with his back
to the four teens.  He turned around, a thick book in his hands.
"From what I've read about your alternate ego, Akane, this is most
unusual."

"That ain't the half of it," Ranma said.

Tofu sat down and placed the book on the desk in front of him.  He
began flipping through it.  "The instances I've found with
three-eyed beings have all indicated that they are immortal..."

"Just like she said," interrupted Ranma.

"Like she said, but not the way Akane is.  She should be immortal,
not 16 years old.  That is, if I have the proper information."
He pushed his glasses up.  "The stories are a little hard to make
out; they're conglomerations of Indian, Japanese, middle Eastern
and Chinese myths and religions."

The four were listening with rapt attention... mostly.  Akane
looked like she was going to doze off any second.

"I believe this is what you've told me."  He put his finger on a
passage in the book.  "The most telling information is the taking
of a wu and the three eyes.  I believe Akane is a sanjiyan."

He received blank stares.  "This is going to be harder than I
thought," he said to himself.

"Maybe I can explain better, Dr. Tofu."  Akane suddenly had her
aura, though it was very dim.

Ranma, Kuno and Nabiki all gave her a little more room as they
realized it was not quite Akane.

"Tell us everything this time," Ranma said, trying not to sound
angry.

"I will try, Ranma.  I am a sanjiyan and I am immortal.  I was
born over 500 years ago.  And you are correct, doctor.  I should
not be 16, nor born of human parents.  It was my doing that I
ended up here.  Not a decision I am proud or happy of, but it was
necessary."

"I told you of those that would seek me out.  It is because of
this that I remained hidden in, as, Akane Tendo.  So draining was
the spell I cast, I have spent the last 16 years regaining my
power."

"I come originally from a region in Tibet known as Konron.  I
escaped to Japan and hid.  Never did I truly expect to reawaken.
And now, there are two options.  Both will be difficult and
dangerous."

"Two options?  Two options for what?" Nabiki asked.

"Two options for my, and Akane Tendo's, chance to live life free

>from my pursuers."


"What are they?  Whatever they are, we can do it!"  Ranma was
beginning to lose his grip on his feelings.

"If I become wholly human, there will be no reason for them to
find me."  She didn't add that they might take revenge for their
trouble.

"And the other option?" Dr. Tofu asked.

"Destroy those that would capture me.  Destroy Kaiyanwang."  Her
voice began to fade.  "Don't let Benares find us..."  She slumped
in the chair as all signs of the sanjiyan disappeared.

Everyone sat stunned for a few moments.  "Whoa," Ranma said.
"Who's Kaiyanwang?  And Benares?  And what do they want with
Aka... I mean Kamiko?"

"That I don't know, Ranma."  Tofu had his eyes on the book before
him.  There were several passages that had caught his eye.  "From
a quick glance, I see several references to Kaiyanwang, and also
to..."  He looked closely, a frown settling on his face.
"Someone else, but no one named Benares.  That sounds like it
might be South American."

He had completely lost Ranma and was more talking to himself than
anyone.

"Um, Dr. Tofu?" Ranma asked.  Akane was sleeping with her head on
his shoulder.  "Do you think it's OK to take Akane home now?"

"If she seemed fine the last time this happened, I don't see why
not now."  He smiled gently at Akane's sleeping form.  "You can
all go get some sleep; I'll do a little investigating.  Be sure
to tell Akane about this."

The three nodded.
