The characters from Ranma 1/2 are the product of the genius that is: Rumiko
Takahashi [Blessed be her name!]  The poem which Kuno quotes is called The
Rainy Day, and was written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

"What did he just say?"

@~'~~,~

	"Wake up Ranma!" a girl yelled from the open door, her school uniform was on
and short, brown hair framed the scowl that darkened her pleasant face.  "If I
am late to school one more time because you couldn't wake up I will really be
mad, and you do not want to see me really mad!"

	"Ok, I get it Nabiki! Who asked you to wake me up anyway?" Ranma said from
the futon he was sleeping in as the girl went back down stairs.  He got
dressed in a red shirt, the long sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and black
paints.  Then he went downstairs.

	"Hey, Ranma, why don't you get some new clothes?  I could loan you some
money, I mean everyday with your Chinese outfits..."

	"Well maybe I like wearing my Chinese outfits!"  Ranma snapped before Nabiki
could finish, "Did you ever think of minding your own business?  Oh but I
forgot, I am your business!  You're just protecting your investments!" Ranma's
words were cold as ice, with sarcasm poisoning each syllable.

	"Ok. Sorry I asked!" Nabiki muttered, more hurt than she was letting on.

	"So, Ranma, what's new?" Soun casually asked.

	"What do you mean?  There is nothing wrong with me!"  Ranma gave Soun a look
that could melt glass, and Soun started to break down and cry.

	"I didn't mean anything < SOB SOB > I just thought..."

	"Well don't think it's not one of your strong points!"  interrupted Ranma.

	Nabiki then decided it was time to leave for school.

	Soun went to his room to continue to slobber, and cry.

	Akane went into the kitchen to help Kasumi clean the dishes.

	Genma had yet to notice what had happened and was presently stuffing his
face.

	Even though his father was sitting across the table, grunting and making very
odd noises [Yes he was in human form!] Ranma felt as if he was sitting alone.
* Something's wrong * Ranma's brow creased in thought, * What's wrong with me?
Why did I act like that? I feel so...... strange! * Suddenly something <
clicked > in Ranma's head, and he fell unconscious on the table.
