�Four words. Setsuna, Black Leather, Bullwhip.�

	Oooooohhhh.

[.....�She�s really a very sweet girl� Doctor Tofu
had said.]

�Like hell she is.� Ranma retorted weakly as 
he remembered that conversation. 
 
Right after his legs had locked up Akane had stopped

and LAUGHED at his predicament. But only AFTER 
she had bashed him on the head with her schoolbag.
Of course his mouth had shot off, he�d been raised
to fight 
back against any kind of attack and with Genma as a
father 
you learned to act first and think later. 

	*SIGH* Well, you definitely aren't Akane fan,
that's for sure.

It usually worked......

Just not this time. After several agonizing minutes
had 
passed Akane had left his much battered and aching 
body on the street as she went home.

	I suppose at this point, since Ranma doesn't
outclass Akane as much as he does later, he is
helpless before Akane's wrath without mobility.

Ranma Saotome�s life at this point in time had for
all intents and
purposes hit rock bottom. In the last six months
he�d picked up
a Jusenkyo curse that turned him into a girl at the
worst possible
times, a bloodthirsty amazon was after his head,  he
was 
engaged without his consent to someone he�d thought
might 
have become a friend but had instead only insulted
him and 
attacked him once she found out he was really a guy,
and to
add insult to injury the local idiot had developed a
fixation 
on him as girl while trying to kill him when he was
a guy. 

When he�d arrived at the Tendo Dojo Ranma had
emotionally latched onto the first person to show 
him any kindess there, Akane Tendo. But after being
constantly 
confronted with open hostility the chances of any
sort of attachment
forming between him and her had been squashed like a
particularly 
annoying bug. Except that you usually stopped
hitting 
the bug after it was dead.

Things couldn�t get any worse.

	Bwahahahaha! Oh, Ranma, you have no idea...

He�d just about lost faith in the 
fairer sex and was going to say 
to heck with it all and become a 
monk when this angel had rescued him.

	Ranma the monk... Somehow, that idea disturbs
me.

Now here she was trying 
to help him and make him feel better.
They were sitting in a booth at a nearby 
burger joint, waiting for Ranma�s legs to recover.

It was the first truly nice deed anyone had ever
done for him without demanding
something in return.

Much to Ranma�s continued relief the white
cc..a...ca...feline had not made 
another appearence, although he still a little stunned that 
Minako had been able to carry him this far. There was a hidden 

	Minako? Makoto I can understand, but Minako?
Oh well.

strength in that seemingly delicate body he realized, not as strong as

Akane�s, but somehow more appealing in that way. 

To pass the time they�d talked, and much to Ranma�s surprise 
once it started he found himself spilling out his entire life story 
to this girl�s sympathetic ear. And he�d found himself listening 
to parts of her life too, though he sensed that there was much 
she left unsaid. Misery loved company.

	But did he mention his curse?

Finding someone in a similar situation to hers was 
a surprise to say the least. Looking at the handsome 
pigtailed boy in front of her she still couldn�t believe
that this wasn�t just another one of her romantic daydreams.
He wasn�t an idol, a minus. But on the other hand he was rather 
cute and really nice, both major pluses in her book.

	Well, Ranma's female form CAN sing. I don't
know about his male form, though.

                
Maybe......

�Uh oh....� 

Rowan was getting a bad feeling about this.

(To be continued)

	Yes, please do continue this. I like it very
much.

The other Sailor Senshi-Trouble just waiting to happen.

	Lemon Sherbet in remaking? *SHUDDER*

Tux Boy- About to get some serious competition.......

	As a fighter, or as a romantic interest? Maybe
both?

(No, Ranma is not going to wear a fuku!! No turbans 
and no formal dining wear!!!) Something more his style....

	More his style? Gi, maybe?

Blame the CCC for this idea. Minako & Ranma, a 
fanfic that had to happen sooner or later.

	Weeeeellll, excuse me! Oh well... It's about
time someone wrote a Ranma/Minako fic. I'm glad you did.
