		Prelude: Hidden Witness

	Akane Tendo sat on her bed palying with her pet piglet, P-Chan. There
was a faint, almost hesitant knock at the door. "Who is it?"

	"It's me. Ranma" softly, a bit nervous.

	Akane set P-Chandfown on her bedand got to her feet. Walking quickly,
she opened the door and pulled Ranma in by the arm. She stuck her head
out and looked both ways down the hall before closing the door. "Did
anyone see you?"

	"No way. Our Dads are are out, Kasumi's shopping, and Nabiki's at a
bussiness meeting.

	Nervously, they looked into each others eyes. P-Chan, sitting forgotten
on the bed, watched in wide-eyed horror as theirfaces moved closer
together.

	Their lips touched lightly, their eyes closed. P-Chan, his eyes opened
past the normal limits of any pig, dropped his jaw with shock. Enraged,
he rocketed toward Ranma's head with a loud "BWEEEEEE!!!" 
   
	Before his target could even react, the P-Chan Rocket ricocheted off of
several walls and both sides of his head before pausing.

	Ranma fell to the floor with a solid thump. Akane picked up her pet,
"P-Chan, what's gotten into you?"
With a shrill squeal, P-Chan wriggled out of her handsand crashed
through the closed door. Akane looked at  at her broken door, and then
at Ranma stirring on the floor.

	"Wow," he said, "That was some kiss. What happened?"

	"I don't know, P-Chan just went nuts and attacked."

	Ranma's head snapped around to stare wide eyed at Akane. "P-Chan was
here! Poor guy."

	Akane looked at him suspiciously. "Ranma, what are you going to do to
my pig?

	"Nothin', if I can help it."

	Before either of them could say anything, the familiar bellow of Ryouga
Hibiki sounded from outside. "Ranma, come out here and face your death
like a man!"
