Asuka 1/2

By: James Lee

Disclaimer: Insert standard disclaimer here.

	Asuka walked down the street, thinking of where to go. 
Although she had told them that she was heading home, she had no 
idea where home was. Thus she started looking for someplace she 
could get her thoughts together. Asuka then stopped when she 
came to a phone booth. Opening the phone book, Asuka began
looking up the name Saotome. She thanked her lucky stars when
she found only one listing, Nodoka Saotome.
	*Cool! Now all I have to do is find out how to get to 
this address. This isn't so hard afterall.* Asuka looked up as the
sky rumbled. She shrugged, seeing no clouds in the sky. Looking 
at the phone, Asuka consider calling and asking for directions. She
decided against it however; she wanted a few minutes to think before
she talked to any of this girl's family. Seeing a police officer, Asuka
exited the phone booth and walked up to him.
	"Excuse me, can you help me?"
	The officer looked down at her "Yes."
	"I'm lost, can you tell me how to get to this address?"
	"Why yes this is in Juuben, it isn't too far from here. Just
follow this road....."

			*****

	A while later, Asuka stood outside a small house. Walking
up to the Saotome home, Asuka took a deep breath. All through her
walk there, Asuka had been thinking about how she was going to 
handle this. Would they suspect her? Asuka obviously looked like this
Ranma, but Asuka didn't know how to act like her. Should she do this?
It was starting to rain. This made up Asuka's mind, if anything she 
needed shelter now. *Will here goes nothing.* Opening the door, 
Asuka walked right in and immediately bumped into someone. "Ouf!"
	"Who in....Ranko? What are you doing here? You should 
learn to knock." Asuka looked up to see a women with red hair,
looking down on here. The woman's face looked like an older version
of the face Asuka had seen in the compact mirror. 
	*Ranko? Must be some pet name.* "Knock? Don't I live 
here,......Mom?"
	The woman looked to Asuka as if she was confused for a 
moment. "I-I'm not you mother dear and no you don't live here. Why
are you here? You're soaked, what happen?
	Asuka started to become very nervous. This was not at all
going well. She didn't live here and this was the only listing for Saotome.
Which mint that she once again had no idea where she lived. Still the
woman did recognize her. *What do I tell this woman now, I wish I
remembered more about who I'm supposed to be.* That gave her
an idea. Asuka decided to tell the truth, sort of.
	"I-I don't remember anything. I-I found this place by looking
in the phone book. I t-thought my name was Saotome."
	"Oh?" said the woman as she walked up and felt Asuka's 
head. Asuka winced a little when the woman came across a bump. 
The woman frowned as she lead Asuka to a couch. "Did you hit your
head Ranko?"
	"I-I think so."
	The woman seemed to become concern. "Sit down Ranko, 
tell me what you remember."
	"Umm OK um...Miss?"
	"Saotome, Nodoka Saotome. You can call me Aunte."
	"Well Aunte I remember waking up somewhere on the street
in.....Nerima. This girl  with short black hair was yelling at me. Then 
this Chinese girl with purple hair hugged me." The woman raised
an eyebrow at that. "I-I didn't know what to do and then the other 
girl started beating up on me. Anyway, I put her ass down..."
	"Ranko, language! And you should know that girls shouldn't
brawl in the street."
	"Well what was I supposed to do? Let her beat the shi...I
mean beat me up. Anyway, I then left and found myself here. That's
all I remember."
	Nodoka seemed to become more worried. "I-I don't know
what to tell you, Ranko." She then remembered that 'Ranko' was
still soaked. "Here, let's get you out of those wet clothes and into the
bath. I'll see if I can find some clothes that will fit you. I'll also call
the
Tendo dojo and tell them your here."
	Asuka froze as then remembered something.

Began flashback:
	"Yeah right, Look at the lovenotes he's been writing!" Yelled
the short haired girl. The teacher grabbed up the note book and looked
through it.
	"Oh I see, for once in his life Ranma's paying attention and 
you're disturbing him! Go to the hall Miss TENDO."

End flashback.

	"NO no no!" yelped Asuka. "I-I can't go back there!"
	"What are you talking about Ranko? They're your family."
	"Th-They are? B-but that one with the short hair that was 
beating me up was a Tendo." 
	Nodoka blinked. "A-Akane, I know she has a temper but.."
	"Please, you don't understand! When sh-she started beating
on me something happen. I was so upset, I sort of went nuts on her.
I beat her up real badly. They probably want me dead now."
	"I seriously doubt that Ranko."
	"Please don't call them."
	Nodoka sighed. "OK we'll talk about this over dinner, all right?"
Asuka nodded. "In the mean time why don't you start getting cleaned
up. I'll see about finding those clothes."
	Asuka nodded and followed to Nodoka to the bathroom.
She was sure a nice hot bath would do her good.
