Chapter 7: The Other Girl
=========================

"Oh,really?" asked Tofu as he made the hot tea. "He's your father?
He doesn't resemble you in any way. Now,about your face..."

"I got hit by a ball during PE," said Ranma. Yuffie gave them some
mochi as Tofu removed the bandage to examine Ranma's face.

"Hmm...I know of a medicine that might help," said Tofu. As he left,the 
phone rang. "Ah,Mr. Saotome,could you get that?"

The panda picked up the phone. "GRUF!"

Yuffie shook her head and grabbed the phone from him. "Moshi moshi."

Ranma punched his dad in the arm. "Stupid panda," he muttered. "You
know you can't talk in that form!"

Yuffie hung up with an ashen face. "Ah...Ranma,we'd better go."

"Now?" asked Ranma. "What about..."

"W-w-we can come back later," stammered Yuffie. She had to get Ranma
away from this place before the caller came to the clinic! "Honest."

"And make it worse?" asked Ranma,crossing his arms. "No way."

"Please,Ranma,I don't want you to be here right now," begged Yuffie.

"Why?" asked Ranma. He then smirked. "Oh,that crush you have on Tofu..."

"No,I can't...I love him,but...he's already taken," said Yuffie sadly.
"There is an older girl he loves. She just called."

"Oh,I see," said Ranma.

"She's on her way here and..."

The door opened to reveal an old lady. "Excuse me."

"THAT is the girl?" asked Ranma,disgusted.

Yuffie slapped him. "No,you baka! That's not the girl!"

"Then who?" asked Ranma.

=*=

Kasumi Tendo walked through the shopping district. A flower girl came
up. "Flowers,miss?" Aeris asked. "Only one yen."

"Thank you,girl," said Kasumi,smiling as she bought the flower. "So
pretty. I will put it in my hair for Tofu-sensei." She put it in her
hair and walked off. Aeris suddenly felt a horrible omen coming.

=*=

Ranma was surprised. "Kasumi,your older sister?" he asked.

Yuffie nodded sadly. "Tofu-sensei loves her,but she doesn't know.
Whenever they meet,his glasses mist up and...well..."

"Are you two up to something?" asked Dr. Tofu as he arrived with the
ointment. Ranma and Yuffie blushed. "Ah,I see. I've got the medicine."

~Oh no,I've got to save him,~ thought Yuffie in horror.

=*=

Ranma sat on the stool as Tofu-sensei examined his bruise. "Let's
see..." He said,checking the wound. "This was caused by a softball.
Let me guess...Yuffie-chan hit the ball,ne?"

Yuffie sweatdropped.

"It's all here," said Tofu,checking the bruise. "The way it hit.
So,Yuffie-chan,you hit the ball into his face?"

"I'm sorry," said Yuffie sadly. "I didn't mean to..."

"Yeah right,you were just pissed because I called you kawaiikune,
and a klepto,which you are," teased Ranma.

Yuffie growled. She wanted to torture this jerk.

"Hey,I was only kidding," said Ranma softly.

Yuffie stopped,then blushed in embarrassment. Tofu smiled. Those two
really did like each other,he could see the signs. If their fathers
had not pushed an arranged marriage onto them,maybe they wouldn't be
so mean to each other. He shrugged. "Ranma,stand still so I can put
this medicine on you," he said. He put one hand on Ranma's head to
brace it. Yuffie panicked as the sliding door slid open.

"Moshi moshi,sensei," came Kasumi's sweet voice. Yuffie covered her
face and then heard the SNAP as Tofu blissfully dislocated Ranma's
neck,much to the panda's horror.

"G-G-Good afternoon,Kasumi-chan," said Tofu,shaken a bit.

"Good afternoon,sensei," said Kasumi as she entered. "Did I just hear
a loud snap?" She turned to Yuffie. "Yuffie,what is wrong?"

"Oh my god..." moaned Yuffie.

Kasumi then saw Ranma. "Oh my..." she said in horror. "Are you okay?"

Tofu laughed uneasily. "Oh,this is Ranma. He's just brought in a LOT
of business today. Right,Ranma?" He patted the panda on the back.

[I'm Genma,you nitwit,] Genma-panda said.

"Sensei..." wheezed Ranma,the pain starting to register.

"So,what brings you hear today,Kasumi-chan?" laughed Tofu.

"SENSEI..." moaned Ranma,tears coming from his eyes.

"I brought you some mochi today," said Kasumi,handing him a basket.
"I also found that Yuffie didn't return the book,so I brought it."
She handed the book to him and smiled sweetly.

"Ah ha ha!" said Tofu. "Arigatou! This is what I was looking for!"

"S-E-N-S-E-I!!!" screamed Ranma in pain. Yuffie was sobbing heavily.

Tofu grabbed the towel that covered the food and began to chew on it.
"My,this is interesting mochi,Kasumi."

Kasumi sweatdropped. "Ah,sensei,that is the towel that covered it."

"Oh ho,so it is!" laughed Tofu. "Silly me."

"SENSEI!!!!!" screamed Ranma,unable to bear the pain anymore.

"Ah,Yuffie," said Tofu. "What's the matter?"

"I am RANMA,you fool!" snarled Ranma. "MY NECK IS KILLING ME!!"

Tofu came to a realization. "Oh dear,you're hurt again? My goodness.."

~No thanks to you,doctor,~ thought Yuffie with a sigh.

"No problem,this can be fixed," said Tofu,grabbing Ranma.

"No!" cried Yuffie. Too late.

#SNAP!#

Now Ranma's neck was dislocated in the OTHER direction. He went over to
Betty-chan,his skeleton. "Saotome-kun,could you make some tea?"

[I'm over here,you baka!] said Genma-panda.

"SENSEI!" cried Ranma.

"I've had it!" screamed Yuffie,running out of the clinic.

"Yuffie...?" asked Kasumi,confused. ~Did something bad happen?~

"I'm going home too," said Ranma,getting up.

"But your neck..." said Kasumi.

"It's...urk...okay," he said,leaving.

=*=

A crowd was gathered outside the clinic. "Hey," asked Aeris as she
passed by. "What are you people doing?"

"Kasumi Tendo is inside," said a woman. "We all need treatment,but
we're not crazy enough to go in there now."

"I've seen Tofu-sensei when Kasumi came by once," said a man in horror.
"Thank Kami-sama *I* wasn't the one being examined!"

Yuffie tore through the crowd. Seconds later,Ranma pushed through.
"Excuse me! Pardon me! Sorry,folks!" he apologized as he left.

Aeris gasped at the horrible angle Ranma's neck was in and put her
hand to her heart. "Poor young man..." she whispered.

=*=

"Ranma?" asked Nabiki in shock as she tried not to vomit the potato
chip she had eaten a second ago. She cocked her neck at him. "What
in the name of Kami-sama happened to you?"

"Long story," grunted Ranma,his neck still in a horrible display.
"Is Yuffie around? I really need to talk to her."

"I think she's out back,training," said Nabiki.

"Thanks," said Ranma,who ran to the backyard. It took a while since
his head was on crooked,but he reached the spot Yuffie went to in
order to relieve frustration. He heard crashings.

Sure enough,Yuffie had been ripping apart cinder blocks with her bare
hands as per a martial-artist. Ranma then saw her face.

~Had she been...crying?~ thought Ranma.

Yuffie straightened her gi,which she had sloppily thrown on as soon as
she had gotten home,and walked over to the wall,leaning on it. ~I can't
let myself be cut down by this...~ she thought sadly. ~Dad told me that
I have to be strong...~ She hated the way her father had treated her,
just because she was a little mischevious at times. The only friend in
her world was Nabiki,her sister,and recently Nabiki had shown that the
only person she could trust was herself alone.

She then opened her eyes and saw her IIZANUKE looking at her. "Why are
you here?" she asked. "Didn't stand the torture,eh?"

"I'm here to cheer you up," said Ranma. "I'm sorry if I..."

"Nah," interrupted Yuffie. "It's my fault." She sighed. "I tried to save
you,get you away from there,but you...you didn't listen to me!"

"How was I supposed to know that your sister causes the doc to go weird
whenever she shows up?" snapped Ranma. "Argh,my neck hurts!"

"Okay,let me fix it," said Yuffie,going up and taking his head. "This
will hurt a bit." #CRACK!# Ranma cried out as his head was back on its
proper shoulders. "Sorry,but when you have a dislocation,that tends to
hurt." She looked at him and smiled mischeviously. "Care to spar?"

"Sure," said Ranma,rubbing his fixed neck.

=*=

Yuffie got upset that Ranma was not fighting her. "Come on! Hit me!"
She executed a spinning kick that would have knocked out Ranma,had he
not leapt over her. "What are you doing,mocking me?"

"Don't you ever give up?" teased Ranma,sidestepping a punch.

"This is how I work off my stress!" shouted Yuffie,doing another kick.

"It's just..." said Ranma,evading another punch. "You're cute when you 
get mad." Yuffie was stunned,so she failed to noticed Ranma pushing her 
onto her butt with a single press of his finger to the brow. "Heh."

"Heeeeeeey!!" cried Yuffie. She got up and snarled at him. "No fair!"

Ranma chuckled and walked off,whistling a tune.

=*=

Yuffie came into her room,rubbing a towel through her hair to remove
the last droplets of water from her bath. She went to her desk and
sighed. She STILL hadn't sold the baubles from that last haul a week
ago. ~I'll have to do that sometime,~ she thought. She then sat on
her bed and thought a bit to what Ranma had said.

	"You're cute when you get mad."

	"You're cute..."

	"You're cute..."

Yuffie took a hand mirror and looked at herself. "I am cute,am I?"

Her window slid open. "Hey,kawaiikune tomboy!" shouted Ranma. "Don't
you think that the mirror deserves a break?"

Yuffie hurled a spray of ninja knives at him,and he fell over in order
to duck the deadly missiles. "STAY OUT OF MY ROOM,HENTAI!!!"
