The main reason that I find for the two of them getting along is that
they are both so damn alike.  Arrogant, slightly cruel, extremely
possesive... Plus Aeka outpowers Ranma, so once she sets her sights on
him, he's toast.
	I really don't see it that well.  First off while I do agree that Aeka 
has a sadistic streak Ranma doesn't.  He's simply been raised to think in terms 
of attack and defesive and sometimes apply's the principal to social situations 
that he doesn't know any other way of dealing with.  And in terms of the 
abilities, one of the things that makes Ranma so tough is the simple fact that 
he doesn't let questions of power enter into his thinking, he just focuses 
everything he has into beating his opponent, and refuses to let himself be 
beaten.  No matter how tough his opposition Ranma wouln't see it as anything 
more than a challenge to figure out how to beat.
	
Eh?  No no no... Aeka nad *Kodachi* are alike - arrogant, and overly
concerned with social status and position, MORE than *slightly* cruel, and
posessive.  Ranma is MUCH more like Ryouko - Devil-may-care attitude,
highly competitive, unable to resist a challenge and less than perfectly
versed in the social graces.
	I agree, plus while Aeka Ranma and Ryouko all have their ego's, Ryoko 
and Ranma's pride is in themselves: Ryoko is proud because of her power, and 
Ranma's proud because of his skills and accomplishments. Aeka on the other hand 
is proud because she's a crown princess of Jurai, it's pride in who her 
ancestors were, with her pride in herself being a lesser aspect of that.  And 
of course part of that pride will make Aeka hesitant to become to famaliar with 
a "lowly" human.

Definitely Ryouko. ^_^
