 necessarily make it so. There have been a few fics in recent memory where
 Kasumi and Ranma have wound up together.... It may be entirely possible

that

 this is the Knows More Than She Lets On Kasumi of several fics, not the
 least of which is Lawson's "Heart of the Home", and that she initially just
 brushed Ranma off because she wanted Akane to be forced to see something
 else about boys besides their desire to grind her into the ground and then
 date her.

All true, but this is not a fic about Kasumi, it's a fic, a short fic, about
Ranma.  If you start a fic like this and then do nothing else with it, the
readers are going to want an explanation as to why it's in here in the first
place.
