Not Ranma 1/2 vol 1 part 1
The Lost Sisters
By Andy Wennersten

	It was just after noon when the bus pulled into the
 Nerima bus station.

	The first person to get off the bus was a girl with 
bright red hair tied in a pigtail.  She was dressed in a red 
kung-fu style silk shirt and a pair of baggy black pants.  She 
carried a large backpack at her side.

	"Red!  Wait for me!"  yelled a voice from inside the 
bus.

	The emergency exit at the back of the bus popped 
open and another girl hopped out.  She had shoulder length 
brown hair held back by a yellow checkered bandanna.  She 
was dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans and held an even 
larger and heavier backpack over her shoulder.

	"Honestly, Yoiko.  Can't I take you anywhere?"  the 
pigtailed girl asked.

	"Well, I couldn't find the door, okay?"  Yoiko 
replied.

	The pigtailed girl sighed and added this incident to 
the long list of evidence that her friend was a ditz with no 
sense of direction.  Her stomach growled and she realized 
that she missed breakfast this morning.  "I'm hungry.  Hey, 
Yoiko!  Where do you want to eat?"  She looked down the 
street and saw two restaurants facing each other on opposite 
sides of the road.  "Let's see.  We have The Cat Cafe 
Chinese restaurant or Ucchan's Okonomiyaki."

	"Oh!  I love okonomiyaki!"  Yoiko said with a big 
grin on her face, exposing a pair of extremely cute fangs.

	"Ucchan's it is, then."  the pigtailed girl said as they 
started down the street.  Just then she saw a certain purple 
hared Chinese girl park her bike and enter the Cat Cafe.  
"On second thought, I feel like ramen for lunch."

	"Oh, no.  I know that look."  Yoiko sounded rather 
irritated.  "I'm not giving up my favorite so you can chase 
some cute waitress."

	"Well, do you think you can make it across the 
street by yourself?"

	"Of course.  I'm not completely clueless, you know!"  
Yoiko yelled as she stormed across the street and entered 
the flower shop next to Ucchan's.  The pigtailed girl waited 
five minutes for her to realize where she was and to find the 
right door.

	"She's hopeless."  the pigtailed girl said to herself as 
she entered the Cat Cafe.

	"Wota airen!"  Shampoo yelled as she glomped on 
to her beloved.  The pigtailed girl was surprised but happy 
none the less.  That is until her stomach growled again.

	"Um, as much as I like having beautiful girls throw 
themselves at me, I'm starving."  the pigtailed girl said.  
"Can I get a bowl of ramen?"

	"O. K."  Shampoo replied.  "Shampoo get you 
ramen on house, yes?"  Then she planted a kiss on the girl's 
lips and was surprised to find it returned.

	"That's great."  the pigtailed girl said after the kiss 
ended.  I'll have to remember this place, she thought.

	As Shampoo disappeared into the kitchen, Mousse 
appeared, burning with rage.

	"Saotome!"  Mousse yelled, his anger just barely 
under control.

	The pigtailed girl wondered how this guy knew her 
name, then she saw that it was written on her backpack.  
"What?"  she replied.

	"Why must you taunt me with such displays!"  he 
said, his eyes aflame with hatred as he leaned in close to the 
girl.

	Uh, oh.  Jealous boyfriend, she thought.  Well, I 
guess any guy would be pissed if he saw his girl kissing 
another girl.  "Oh! That."  she said.  "Sorry.  I'll make it up 
to you."  With that she leaned forward and kissed him.

	"How...DARE...you..."  Mousse gasped.

	Okay, plan B, she thought and kissed him again, this 
time adding her tongue.

	Mousse froze.  His mortal enemy was frenching him.  
After the girl pulled back, he got up and stumbled into the 
kitchen.

	<Mousse.>  Cologne said in Chinese.  <Isn't Son-In-
Law acting strange today?>

	<Well, he just had his tongue down my throat.>  
Mousse said, still in shock.

	<WHAT!?!>  Cologne yelled.

	Just then the pigtailed girl popped her head in the 
kitchen.  <One:  I am not acting strange.  Two:  My tongue 
wasn't that far in your mouth.  And three:  Since I happen to 
be a girl at the moment, the correct term in Daughter-In-
Law.  Not that I would want to be related to you.  Now, 
where's my ramen?>  She said in perfect Chinese.  The still 
shocked Mousse handed her a bowl of ramen which she 
thanked him for in Chinese.

	An equally shocked Cologne yelled, "Wait!  When 
did you learn Chinese?"

	"My education is none of your business."  the girl 
said and took her food back to her table.

	"Shampoo, I think your betrothed has been a girl for 
too long."  Cologne said.

	"Huh?  Oh, O. K."  Shampoo said.  Luckily she 
wasn't paying attention because she was still giddy from the 
show of affection from her loved one.  She grabbed a tea 
kettle and went to the front of the restaurant.

	The pigtailed girl was busy finishing her ramen, so 
she didn't notice the steaming kettle over her head until it 
was too late.  She jumped up as the hot water touched her 
head.

	Shampoo found herself face to face with a very wet, 
very annoyed, and very female pigtailed girl.  Her brain 
couldn't handle this, so she did the only thing she could.  
She screamed.

	The pigtailed girl found herself face to face with a 
screaming Chinese girl, so she did the only thing she could.  
She ran.  At least it was free, she thought.

	Outside, the girl ran across the street to catch her 
breath.  "That was weird."  she said.  When she saw the 
shadow cover her, she knew trouble was coming.  She 
jumped out of the way as Ryoga landed, leaving a crack in 
the sidewalk.

	"I'll kill you!"  Ryoga yelled.  He never needed a 
reason to lash out in anger.  He figured that his hellish 
existence justified it.

	The pigtailed girl looked at her attacker and 
recognized something.  "Do I know you?"  she asked.

	Ryoga stopped dead in his tracks.  It was one thing 
for his childhood foe to forget him after a few years, but to 
forget him after this morning?  "Of course you know me, 
stupid!"  he yelled.

	"Just let me see if I remember you."  the girl said, 
changing her voice slightly.

	"Um...okay."  Ryoga replied.  He couldn't help but 
obey.  The girl's voice was calming and almost hypnotic.

	"Well, judging by the crack you made in the 
sidewalk, you have almost superhuman strength."

	"Yeah."

	"Let me ask you something."

	"What?"

	"If I were to ask you to go buy me a gallon of milk, 
how long would it take you.  Be honest."

	"About a week."  Ryoga blurted out, then looked 
embarrassed at being reminded of his major weakness.

	"Come closer."

	"Huh?"  Ryoga leaned in closer to the girl.

	The girl reached behind his head and untied his 
bandanna.  She recognized the pattern.  She looked up to 
see Ryoga wearing another bandanna.  She untied it and 
found another.  And another.  "You've got infinite 
bandannas."  she said after the fifth one.

	"I guess."  he replied.  He never thought of it that 
way before.

	"Open your mouth."

	"Why?"

	"Just do it!"  She grabbed his chin and started 
inspecting his teeth.  "You've got fangs."  she stated plainly.

	"Yeah, so?"  This inspection was irritating him.

	"Okay, last test."  the girl said.

	"Oh, goo-mphf..."  His words were cut off by a pair 
of lips pressed against his own.  He started getting angry 
again until he felt a tongue forcing its way into his mouth.  
Then he blacked out.

	The pigtailed girl felt Ryoga's body go limp, or at 
least most of his body go limp.  She felt a drop of warm 
fluid run down her cheek.  She pushed him back and saw 
that he passed out and his nose was bleeding.  "You're 
definitely a Hibiki."  she said and dropped him.  After he 
made a satisfying thud on the cement, she walked into 
Ucchan's.

	Ukyo looked up from the grill when she heard the 
door open.  She had been making the fifth okonomiyaki for 
a strange girl who, upon entering the restaurant, had 
extreme difficulty finding a table, even though there were 
several empty.  Oh well, she thought.  At least her appetite 
was worth the wait.  When Ukyo saw who had just walked 
in, her eyes lit up.  "Ran-chan!"  she called.

	"Um...Ucchan?"  the pigtailed girl replied, reading 
the name off the cook's apron.  She made a mental note to 
remove her name from her backpack.  It was causing too 
many strange moments.

	"Oh!  Hi, Red!"  Yoiko called after stuffing down 
the last okonomiyaki.

	"You know each other?"  Ukyo asked Yoiko.

	"Yeah, we've been friends for years."  Yoiko 
answered.

	"JUST FRIENDS, RIGHT?!"  Ukyo asked, a 
threatening tone in her voice.

	"You mean, you think we're...HAHAHAHA..."  
Yoiko couldn't help but laugh.  "Me...and Red!"  Even I'm 
not that desperate."

	"Good."  Ukyo replied coldly.  "I'd hate to have to 
mop blood up off the floor."

	"..."  Yoiko was at a loss for words.

	"Yoiko, wait for me out front."  the pigtailed girl 
broke in.

	"Okay."  Yoiko replied and walked past Ukyo and 
out the back door.  The redhead smacked herself in the 
forehead.

	"Can I ask you a favor?"  the girl asked Ukyo.

	"Anything for you."  Ukyo replied, putting on her 
most loving expression.

	"Well, there's a guy passed out on the sidewalk.  
Can you make sure he gets to this address?"  The girl wrote 
down an address and handed it to Ukyo.

	Ukyo looked at the address.  "You don't have to 
give me the address.  I know where the Tendo Dojo is."

	"Good.  Oh!"  The pigtailed girl remembered who 
she was trying to transport.  "He gets lost easy, so call him a 
cab."  She handed Ukyo 3000 yen.  "This should cover it.  
Bye."  Then the girl followed her friend out back.

	"Ran-chan...with money?"  Ukyo asked herself, then 
went out to find Ryoga lying on the ground.  "Well, at least 
you'll be happy to see Akane when you wake up.  And I'll 
save Ran-chan's cash by taking you there personally."  Then 
she heard screaming coming from the Cat Cafe and smiled.  
Music to my ears, she thought.

	Later, Yoiko and the pigtailed girl were walking 
down the street toward Furinkan High School.

	"Did you know that girl?"  Yoiko asked.

	"Who?  That Ucchan chick?  Nope.  Never seen her 
before."  the pigtailed girl replied.

	"You sure?  She seemed jealous because she thought 
we were...involved...with each other."  Yoiko fought to 
control the laughter.

	"Well, you can't say I don't try."  the girl replied with 
a mischievous grin.

	"Pervert!"

	"Me?  A pervert?"  The redhead tried to look 
shocked.  "I just know how to have a good time, that's all."

	They stopped at the school gates and found a sign 
saying:  [School closed for two weeks for repairs.  Sports 
clubs will meet in back for practice.]

	"Damn!"  the pigtailed girl said.  "I was hoping to 
catch him at school.  Well, Maybe he's in a sports club.  
C'mon Yoiko."

	They hopped the fence and went to the back of the 
school to find the kendo club finishing practice.

	The pigtailed girl decided for the direct approach.  
"Hey!  Does anyone know..."

	"Pigtailed girl!"  Kuno yelled as he leapt forward to 
embrace his love.

	"Ahh!  What are you doing!"  the girl yelled as she 
tried to break free of Kuno's grasp.

	"Showing my love for you, my goddess."  Kuno 
answered, and squeezed her tighter.

	"While I appreciate someone acknowledging me as 
the goddess that I am,  I think this is a bit much!"  The 
pigtailed girl screamed.  "Yoiko!  Help!"

	"Do I have to?"  Yoiko asked.  "He's kind of cute."

	"Get him offa me!"

	"Okay."  Yoiko said and raised her arms in a fighting 
position.

	"What's this?"  Kuno said, releasing his grip on the 
girl.  "Someone dares come between me and my love.  No 
doubt you have been charmed by my handsome visage, but 
my heart is already taken."  Kuno raised his boken in 
preparation for the fight.

	"Get to it, Yoiko!"  the pigtailed girl cheered from 
the sidelines.

	"EARTHQUAKE STRIKE!!!"  Yoiko yelled as she 
struck the ground in front of her.  A crack in the earth 
appeared at her fist and raced to Kuno's feet.

	"Is that all you can do?"  Kuno asked.  Then the 
ground opened up and swallowed him up to his neck.

	"Oh no!"  Yoiko yelled and ran to his head which 
was sticking out of the ground.  "I'm sorry Mr...Mr..."

	"K...u...n...o..."  he said with a pained expression on 
his face.

	"I'm sorry, Mr. Kuno.  Please forgive me."  Yoiko 
cried, tears streaming down her cheeks.

	"I...forgive...you."  Kuno said and passed out.

	"One cute guy and you fall to pieces."  The pigtailed 
girl shook her head.  "I don't know what to do about you, 
Yoiko."

	"Shut up, Red!"  Yoiko yelled.  "We've got to dig 
him out!"

	"Relax, lovergirl.  While you were crying over 
stickboy there, I got one of the workmen at the school to 
dig him up.  Let's go."

	As they walked away, Yoiko turned to look at 
Kuno.  "He's even cute when he's asleep."  she said and 
blushed.

	The pigtailed girl sighed.  Oh great, now I have a 
love sick ditz on my hands, she thought.  Then she felt a 
rain drop on her forehead.

	"Oh, great.  Now it's raining."  Yoiko said.  She 
turned and saw her friend change.  The red hared pigtailed 
girl was replaced by a black hared pigtailed boy.

	"Let's go before we get too wet."  the boy said and 
ran in the direction of the Tendo Dojo.

	Meanwhile, at the Tendo Dojo, everyone was 
making a mad dash for the house.

	"Hey, Pop!  What's the big idea, making me train all 
day?  Now it's raining so I can't do anything!"  a wet 
Ranma-chan yelled.

	[If you don't exercise, you'll get weak and flabby.]  
Panda signed.

	"If school's canceled, then I should be enjoying 
myself."  Ranma said after planting her foot in Panda's face.

	*Ding-Dong*

	"I'll get it!"  Akane yelled from the next room.

	Akane opened the door to find Ukyo with an 
umbrella in one hand and as unconscious Ryoga in the 
other.  "Hi, Akane.  Is Ranma here?"  she asked after setting 
Ryoga down inside the door.

	"Uh...yeah.  What happened to Ryoga?"  Akane 
asked.

	"I don't know.  Ranma found him outside my place 
and asked me to bring him here."

	"But, Ranma's been here all day."

	"Well, he must have slipped out sometime."  Ukyo 
said then blushed.  "Maybe he made a special trip just to see 
me."  Akane looked annoyed, but decided she didn't want a 
fight...yet.

	"Hey, Ucchan."  Ranma said when she saw Ukyo.

	Just then, Ryoga's eyes snapped open at the sound 
of his enemy's voice.  "Ranma, you pervert!"  he yelled and 
leapt at her.

	"Who you calling a pervert, P-chan?"  Ranma asked 
as she stepped to one side, letting Ryoga slam into the wall.

	"Who's P-chan?!?"  Ryoga yelled and leapt at Ranma 
again.

	"What you mad at me for all of a sudden?"  Ranma 
asked as Ryoga collided with her fist.

	"You kissed me!!!"  Ryoga yelled without thinking.

	"He WHAT!!!"  both Akane and Ukyo yelled, 
glaring at Ranma.

	"I didn't do it!  I got an alibi!"  Ranma yelled.  She 
was just glad Nabiki was out with her friends.  Even if the 
rumor wasn't true,  she would still blackmail her for it.

	"Yes, Ryoga.  When did this happen?"  Akane 
asked.

	"Um...a little before one, I think."  Ryoga replied.

	"There!  See!  I was here at the dojo then.  Right, 
Pop?"

	[Yep.]  Panda signed, not bothering to look up from 
his shogi game with Soun.

	"But, if you were here, then how could you have 
asked me to bring Ryoga here?"  Ukyo asked, looking 
confused.

	"I don't..."

	*Ding-Dong*

	"Now what?"  Ranma asked, expecting more 
trouble.

	"I'll get it."  Kasumi called from the kitchen.

	"I must speak with Son-In-Law."  Cologne said as 
she hopped through the front door.

	"Oh!  Hello, Cologne."  Kasumi said.  "Ranma is in 
the next room."

	"Son-In-Law!"  Cologne yelled at Ranma when she 
saw her.  "You should warn us if you get stuck in your 
cursed form!"

	"Wadaya mean 'stuck'?  I ain't stuck."  Ranma said, 
sounding confused.

	"Prove it."  Cologne said coldly.

	Ranma-chan got up and walked into the kitchen, and 
a few minutes later Ranma-kun walked out.  "There!  You 
happy now, old ghoul!"  he said.

	"Why did you think that Ranma couldn't change 
back to a guy?"  Akane asked.

	"Because Shampoo tried to change him back earlier, 
but it didn't work."

	"But I've been here all day.  Right, Pop?"  Ranma 
asked.

	[You got it!]  Panda signed.

	"There's one way to solve this."  Cologne said, and 
grabbed Soun's iced tea.

	"Hey!"  Soun yelled and was about to grab his drink 
back when Cologne gave him the evil eye.  He sat back 
down.

	<Ranma, I'm going to throw this drink in your 
face.>  Cologne said.

	"Huh?"  Ranma said.

	*Splash*

	"What did you do that for?!"  a wet Ranma-chan 
yelled.

	"You don't speak Chinese."  Cologne replied.

	"So what!"  Ranma yelled.

	"The Ranma in my restaurant did."  Cologne said.  
"She was also acting very strange."

	"Like how?"  Akane asked.

	"Well, she said I should call her Daughter-In-Law, 
and she kissed Mousse."

	"Sounds like your girl, Ryoga."  Ranma said.

	"Then that Ranma must be a real girl."  Akane said.

	"But she kissed Shampoo, too."  Cologne said.

	"Okay, a real twisted girl."  Akane replied.

	"Ryoga, was there anything strange about the girl 
you saw?"  Cologne asked.

	"She kissed me!"  Ryoga yelled, his anger renewed.

	Cologne hit him over the head with her staff and 
asked,  "Other than that?"

	"Well, she acted like she didn't know me, and her 
voice was a little different."  Ryoga replied, rubbing his 
head.

	"Like how?"  Cologne asked.

	"It was soothing and almost...seductive."  Ryoga 
blushed.

	"What about your Ranma, Ukyo?"  Cologne asked.

	"Well, for one thing, she was with another girl."  
Ukyo replied.

	"What!"  Akane yelled and looked at Ranma.

	"Hey!  It wasn't me, remember!"  Ranma yelled.

	"Relax, Akane.  The girl denied any involvement 
with Ran-chan other than friendship."  Ukyo said.

	"Anything else?"  Cologne asked.

	"Oh!  She gave me the address of the dojo and 3000 
yen to cover a taxi for Ryoga."  Ukyo said and pulled out 
the note and money.

	"Let me see that."  Akane said and grabbed the note.  
"Look.  The note's initialed 'R. S.'"

	"It wasn't me!"  Ranma yelled.

	"He's right."  Ukyo said.  "The other girl kept calling 
her 'Red'.  For her hair, I guess."

	"Wait a minute."  Ranma broke in.  "If she had the 
address of the dojo, then that means..."

	"She's coming here."  Cologne said.

	*Ding-Dong*

	"I hope that's Nabiki."  Akane said with a hint of 
fear in her voice.

	"Just to be safe, I'll get it."  Ranma said.

	"Not without me, you're not!"  Ukyo yelled and 
pulled out her combat spatula.

	"Hey!  I can defend my own house, you know!"  
Akane yelled and grabbed her mallet.

	"Akane!  Wait!"  Ryoga yelled.  "I'll protect you!"

	"I guess someone will have to provide adult 
supervision."  Cologne said and shot an evil look at Panda 
and Soun, who never left their shogi game.  She followed 
everyone else to the front door.

	Ranma opened the door fully expecting to find a 
female version of herself.

	What she didn't expect was to find the male version 
of herself instead.

	She fainted.

	The pigtailed boy at the door didn't expect to find a 
female version of himself either.

	He fainted too.

	"Ranko!"  Yoiko yelled as she saw her friend 
collapse.

	"Ran...KO?!?"  Akane, Ukyo, and Ryoga yelled in 
unison.

	"I believe you have some explaining to do, young 
lady."  Cologne told Yoiko.

	Later, after Ranma and Ranko were dragged into the 
next room, Yoiko tried to make some sense of the situation.

	"Um...who is that girl and why does she look like 
Ranko's female form?"  she asked.

	"You tell us why he looks like Ranma's male form!"  
Akane yelled.

	"Where is Ranma, anyway?"  Yoiko asked.

	"Right there!"  Akane pointed to the unconscious 
Ranma-chan.

	"But...Ranma is supposed to be a boy!"  Yoiko 
yelled.

	"He is a boy!"  Akane yelled back.  "Kasumi!  Can 
we get some hot water in here?"

	"Oh my!"  Kasumi said, almost dropping the kettle.  
"Two Ranmas?"

	"We're trying to figure that out."  Akane said, 
grabbing the kettle.  She poured some hot water on Ranma, 
transforming him and waking him up.

	"So you've been to Jusenkyo, too."  Yoiko said to 
Ranma.

	"Too?  You mean you've been cursed?"  Ranma 
asked Yoiko.

	"Not me. But, Red has."  Yoiko said, pointing to 
Ranko.

	"Red?  You mean he's the girl you were with at the 
restaurant earlier?"  Ukyo asked.

	"But, the girl at my restaurant wasn't affected by hot 
water."  Cologne said.

	"Of course not.  Watch."  Yoiko grabbed the kettle 
and poured it over Ranko, changing her into a girl and 
waking her up.

	"So it really was a girl who kissed me."  Ryoga said 
and blushed.

	"Of course."  Ranko said.

	"But then why did you kiss Shampoo?"  Cologne 
asked.

	"Oh.  I'm into that, too."  Ranko said offhandedly.

	"..."  Cologne was speechless.

	Ranko ignored the stares and said,  "Well, 
introductions are in order."  She stood up.  "I am Ranko 
Saotome, expert monster hunter and love goddess in 
training."  She took a bow.

	"Saotome?  Ranma, is she related to you?"  Akane 
asked.

	"Ranma?"  Ranko broke in.  "You're Ranma?"

	"Um...Yeah."  Ranma said.

	"Brother!"  she yelled and embraced him.

	"Pop!"  Ranma turned his head to face Panda.  "I 
thought you said you didn't have any illegitimate children!"

	[I don't!]  Panda signed, his attention finally torn 
from the shogi game.

	"Ranma, why did you call that panda 'Pop'?"  Ranko 
asked.

	"Because,"  Genma said, using the kettle to change 
back.  "I am his father, Genma Saotome."

	"Genma?  Dad!"  Ranko yelled, releasing Ranma and 
hugging Genma.

	"Listen, girl,"  Genma said.  "I don't know who you 
are, but you are not my daughter."

	"Yes I am.  I have proof."  Ranko said as she dug 
through her backpack and pulled out an envelope.

	"Give me that."  Akane grabbed the envelope.  "It's 
a letter."  she said.  "It reads:  'Dear Ranko, I have 
instructed that this letter be given to your adopted parents so 
that they will one day give it to you.  I regret giving you up 
for adoption, but I did so to save your life.  Your father, 
Genma, planned on taking you and your twin brother, 
Ranma, on a training trip that would last years.  He planned 
on teaching his children in the Anything Goes School of 
Martial Arts.  While I believe this will make Ranma a better 
man, I fear that you, as a girl, would never survive the 
voyage.  Since Genma would insist on taking you with him, 
I was forced to give you up so he wouldn't find you.  He 
was away on a trip with his friend, Soun, when you and 
your brother were born, so he will assume that Ranma is his 
only child.  Be happy in your new life.  Your mother, 
Nodoka Saotome.'"

	"So, Saotome.  It looks like your family just grew by 
one."  Soun said.

	"Not really, Tendo.  Nodoka wrote that Ranko 
wouldn't get the letter untill she got adopted."  Genma said.

	"Oh, I didn't get adopted.  I stole that letter from my 
file when me and Yoiko ran away from the orphanage."  
Ranko said.

	"Aren't you forgetting something?"  Yoiko asked.

	"Oh, sorry."  Ranko looked embarrassed.  "This is 
my assistant..."

	*Smack*

	"Ow!  I mean partner, Yoiko Hibiki."

	"Yoiko...Hibiki?"  Ryoga said.

	"Say, Ryoga.  Isn't your last name Hibiki?"  Ukyo 
asked.

	"Big Sister!"  Ryoga yelled.

	"Little Brother!"  Yoiko yelled.

	Ryoga and Yoiko gave each other a big hug, fanged 
smiles on both their faces.  The pressure between them was 
enough to make diamonds out of coal, but they were too 
happy to notice.

	"Ryoga, you never told me you had a sister."  
Ranma said.

	"She disappeared when I was a baby.  We thought 
she was dead."  Ryoga answered.

	"I was only two.  You can imagine what the Hibiki 
sense of direction was like at that age."  Yoiko said.  "I got 
lost, and by the time I found my way back, my parents had 
moved."

	"C'mon, Sis!  Let's go for a walk to get 
reacquainted."  Ryoga said, and they left through the kitchen 
window.

	"Do you really think we should let them leave 
together?"  Ukyo asked.

	"Don't worry."  Ranko said.  "They'll be back in a 
few days, and besides, they're happy."

	"So, Ranko."  Akane said.  "Why didn't you go to 
Nodoka's first.  After all, she would have been a lot easier to 
find than these two."

	Ranko exploded.  "BECAUSE THAT BITCH 
ABANDONED ME BECAUSE I WAS A GIRL!!!  IF I 
EVER SEE HER, I'LL RIP HER FUCKING HEAD 
OFF!!!"

	"Oh, my!  Such language!"  Kasumi said, shocked 
by the outburst.

	Ranko assumed a more innocent pose.  "She isn't 
here, is she?"

	"Uh...Nope."  Ranma answered.  "Haven't seen her.  
Don't know where she is."  He lied, fearing for his mother's 
life.

	"Good."  Ranko said and smiled.

	"I'm home!"
