Part 6
My love, my sister, my one and only!
Ranma gracefully dismounted the bar using a back flip after an
impressive display of gymnastics. The students in his class clapped
politely and he returned to a small group of boys he had been sitting
with earlier.
"Amazing Saotome." said the darker haired boy.
The other boy, a brunette turned towards him "This guy studied
gymnastics in China.
Ranma looked at them and frowned. "It was Kempo." he then went back to
his task of staring at Akane as she played baseball. He didn't look out
of place though as every other boy there was either watching her or
Torako intently.
The brunette put his hand on Ranma's shoulder non chattingly. "So, level
with us; How far have you gotten with Akane?" Ranma got a quizzical look
on his face as he failed to understand the question.
"Don't play innocent; Your her fiancee right?" said the other boy.
"Bet you've #%*. Have you ~@&?" asked the first boy.
"No."
"Liar. You've ^$C, huh?" his companion moved closer.
The first boy put Ranma into a headlock and started to shout. "You've
probably even >#%!"
"It was arranged all right?! We haven't done anything!" screamed Ranma
as he tossed the boy off his back.
"Oh, so you're going too then?" said the other boy as he helped his
friend up.
"You will tell us about it right, buddy?" said the first boy with a
lecherous smile.
"Not even if you paid me." replied Ranma coldly.
"Darn, I knew he had done something with her!" the first boy placed a
few yen in his companion's hand.
Ranma was completely fixed on Akane's smiling face and ignored the other
boys completely now.
"Man she's cute." muttered the brunette kid.
"So?" snorted Ranma as he forced his gaze away.
He turned his gaze back and a baseball planted itself in his forehead,
He halfway noticed Akane staring at him blankly before he passed out
cold.
"Quit appologizing Akane your treating him like an injured child." said
Torako as the three of them walked towards the Tendo home.
"Well it is my fault." stuttered Akane looking embarassed.
Ranma merely walked along silently, that is until they met Mr. Saotome
sweeping the stoop in front of Dr. Tofu's office. "Pop, What are you
doing here?"
The panda raised it's arm in greeting and continued to sweep; a moment
passed and Dr. Tofu walked outside. "Well, well; Ranma, Torako and Akane!
This is Mr. Saotome, he started working for me today. Do you know each
other?"
"You don't say! Ranma's father?" Tofu stood by a small sink and made tea
while they all sat around the clinic.
"He looks just like him." said Torako cheerfully.
"Hey, ya wanna make somethin of it?!" growled Ranma; "Sooner or later
it's gonna come down to a fight I can feel it."
"I hope so, but not just yet Ranma-kun." Torako stuck her tounge out at
the boy and he looked more than a little grouchy.
"What happened to your face Ranma? That's a nasty looking bump." said
Tofu with a small amount of consern.
"Just a little baseball accident."
"I have a balm that works wonders, back in a jiffy." Tofu disapeared
into a storage closet and the sounds of rummaging started until the phone
rang. "Darn! Mr. Saotome could you answer that please?"
The panda in question shrugged his shoulders and lifted the phone, he
stood there for a moment and said nothing; finally he held up a sign that
said "Arrgh! Panda's can't talk!"
"Stupid old man, why'd ya pick it up in the first place?" said Ranma.
Akane took the reciever away from him. "Hello, can I help you? Oh! Hello
Kasumi; Well we weren't exspecting to stop by or I would have, Ranma had
a little accident, but he's fine. Okay bye."
"Kasumi?" hissed Torako with a fearful exspression on her face.
"Yes, she's coming by." answered Akane.
"We have to get out while we can!"
"What? Why?" said Ranma looking confused as ever.
"This won't take that long Torako, she's still at my house." Akane
looked annoyed, but she made no attempt to defend Tofu or her sister.
Tofu re-entered the room and smiled as he pulled the bandage away from
Ranma's head. "Let's see this wound...Wow. The impression of that
baseball; Akane hit it right?"
"Wow! How did..." stammered Ranma looking impressed.
"With an imression that deep and a bruise that big who else?"
"Man, she even hits a ball like a savage?" said Ranma in shock.
"What?!! It was your fault for not paying attention!!" Akane jumped back
into a stance when Ranma turned and stuck his tounge out at her.
"Well, you mean Akane did hit that ball? I was...I was just joking!"
Tofu stood looking embarassed for a moment. "But so what, eh? What's
wrong with being active?"
Ranma seemed to notice something and Torako turned to see her father
standing in the door way. "What is he doing here?" she wondered. He
mouthed something to the boy and Ranma nodded.
Tofu continued to comfort Akane unsuccessfully. "It just means your
healthy."
"I'm not complaining." said Ranma quietly. "Who wants a lazy fiancee
anyway?" he was starting to turn red and looked away. Torako growled and
spun around to see her father had vanished.
"Ranma?" whispered Akane as she turned away with a neutral exspression.
"Stop trying to embarass me." she growled with an exspression that was
supposed to be anger; Torako wasn't fooled, she was starting to like
Ranma and that meant she had a possibility of loss; if her plans didn't
work out soon she might have to resort to the back up plan.
Tofu applied the antaseptic and backed away with a smile. "There, it
should heal up much cleaner now."
Torako pulled Ranma out of the chair in a flash as the door opened and a
familiar voice filled the room. "Hello! Dr. Tofu?"
"Kasumi?" said Akane as she turned to see her sister entering the room.
"That was too close eh little sister?"
"What? Don't call me that!" growled Ranma as he pulled away from her
grip.
Mr. Sotome cringed slightly at the conversation and continued to sweep,
doing his best to not be noticed.
"Try and stop me!" laughed Torako as she pulled down her eyelid and
stuck out her tounge; She dashed out of the room and into the street.
"Come back here!" called Ranma as he gave chase.
"They sure are getting along well." noted Akane as she followed them.
"Wait for me!"
"Akane?" asked Nabiki as she met Ranma in the hall. "I think she's in
the training hall, Why?"
Ranma just smiled and jogged off to find his fiancee.
He found Akane with her head bowed down standing in a pile of shatered
bricks. She shuddered for a moment and stood leaning against the wall.
"She's crying?" wondered Ranma out loud.
Akane opened her eyes and stared down as she rested against the wall. "I
can't let it hurt me! Why does it still hurt?" she gasped as Ranma's face
appeared below her. "What do you want?!" screamed the girl as she pushed
him head first into the ground.
"Hmph, you don't seem too upset." said Ranma sarcastically.
"Surely you don't exspect me to believe that you came to cheer me up?"
Akane gave him a disbelieving glance and smirked.
"Why not? Your my friend aren't you?" Ranma jumped back to his feet.
Akane stared at him for a moment, she hadn't thought about it much but
he was right. They had been spending alot of time together volentarily
and she had enjoyed it. "I guess, I never really thought about you that
way before. Come on, Tora-chan isn't here so I need a sparring partener."
"Nothing as rough as the last time I hope?" commented Ranma dryly.
Ranma had improved since their last battle and Akane knew it, he danced
around her blows easily and fluidly, he was only forced to block seven
times since they started ten minutes ago. Akane upped the intencity of
her blows and discovered that Ranma was hard pressed to avoid her, he had
been giving it his all to avoid her without striking back. If she went
all out he would be forced to attack or block. "Fight back!" said Akane
as she lunged forward pushing harder than ever. Ranma side stepped the
strike and performed a hard block stopping her momentum cold. "How can I
work out my stress if all you'll do is block and dodge!"
"Akane, don't you get tired of being angry all the time?" said Ranma as
he landed from a jump and was nearly struck by a side kick.
"That's my business!" said the girl as she charged again.
Ranma stopped and Akane noticed the sweat that covered his face and
body. "Okay, but you know, your cute when you smile."
Akane staggered for a moment in surprise. "Mm?" Ranma didn't need any
more than that, he shot forward and pushed her forhead with his finger.
"Got ya!"
Akane fell flat on her butt and sat there for a moment looking
perplexed. "Th...that was dirty! That didn't count!"
Akane came in from her bath and sat on the bed with a heavy sigh. His
words echoed through her mind. "Your cute when you smile."
"Did he mean that?" she wondered as she pulled out a mirror and smiled
into it.
Ranma stood on the roof glaring at the moon light and debating weather
or not he should try to talk to her again. Ryo's image appeared inside
his head "You must always respect a woman's privacy!"
"I guess I should just go to sleep then." he forcefully willed himself
to jump off the roof away from her and walked into the house. "Why was
that so hard?" he wondered idly.
Some where in the Japanese countryside.
"A wild boar! On the Rampage!" cried the simple villagers of a small
village. A lone figure walked along the road ignoring the commotion
around him. The massive pig started a bee line straight for him and he
simply turned around lazily slipping a tattered looking bamboo umbrella
off his traveling pack. The boar reached him and he stopped it cold
simply by extending his arm and touching the creature's snout with the
end of the umbrella. With a flick of his wrist the boy sent the animal
into the sky about twenty feet up, it came crashing down behind him and
was knocked out cold.
The villagers surrounded him and bombarded him with questions and
thanks. He didn't care about them; he only wanted to know one thing.
"Where is Furinkan High School?"
"Say isn't this Tokyo? That's five hundred miles north o' here!" said
one of the villagers.
"I see, forgive the commotion." he stalked away leaving the amazed
people watching in awe.
"You can run from out battle no longer! I will not forgive you for
stealing away my man hood!" Ryoga Hibiki looked up at the sky and snarled
as the image of his most hated rival appeared to his eyes alone.
Meanwhile in Tokyo...
"Ranma wait!" called Kasumi as she and Nabiki chased the busty young red
head down the hall, Ranma was dressed only in a pair of boxers and a
towel
"No! No way! I'm not wearing girls clothes!" called the girl as Torako
appeared in front of her. Ranma dodged the girl's attempt to grab her
easily and Kasumi and Nabiki stepped on and over her as they continued to
chase Ranma.
"All your clothes are in the wash Ranma!" pleaded Kasumi. "Let me fill
your bath now so..."
"You can't just run around naked ya know!" snapped Nabiki.
"If I can't you sure as hell can't" said Torako as she shakily stood
from her spot on the floor.
"But..." stammered Ranma, she was cornered and had no where to run but
through the three girls.
"Your a guest here aren't you?!" said the three persuers in unison.
"All that fuss over something this stupid! It's not like we are gonna
put you in lengere Ranma." said Akane from her bed.
"I was kind enough to bring some clothes over at my father's request
after all. You could at least act grateful little sister." Torako pulled
out a cute looking pair of overalls with a tiger embroidered on the
chest.
"I'm not wearing a skirt!" snapped Ranma angrily as she waited to be
tortured by the girls.
"Oooh! It's you!" squeeled Nabiki looking proud of herself.
"It's perfect!" agreed Akane cheerfully.
Ranma looked sceptical but said nothing, the mesurments where perfect.
"Don't look so surprised Ranma, we did fall into the same spring after
all." commented Torako absently as she noticed the looks Ranma was giving
herself in the mirror.
"The waist is a little loose, but otherwise it fits." muttered Ranma as
she turned and pulled at the sides.
"Why you! There isn't an ounce of fat on my body you ingrate!" snarled
the cat girl as she tackled Ranma and was easily flipped off.
"Hey! I was kidding!" said Ranma nervously as the girl gave him a
predatory gaze.
"Stop it! Girls shouldn't fight!" cried Kasumi.
"I'm a boy!" replied Ranma as Torako engaged him again.
"Stop you two! You'll destroy my room!" pleaded Akane.
"Where is Furinkan high school?" asked Ryoga as he came across a man
tending cows in a field.
The farmer gave him a strange look and smiled when he realized the boy
must be lost. "If it's Tokyo it's five hundred miles south of here."
One week later...
The school day ended and Ryoga watched the students file out of the
building. "You." he snarled as he plucked one of the happless students
from the crowd.
"Wahh! What do you want?" stammered the boy nervously.
"Where is Furinkan High School?" asked Ryoga.
"Say what?" the boy gave Ryoga an incredibly stupid look and pointed
over his shoulder at the sign.
"Where is Kagome?" snarled Ryoga as he released the boy.
"You want to take on the iron fist? Are you nuts?" the boy backed away
from Ryoga and just pointed at the building.
"Ranma! Wait!" screamed Akane as she chased after the boy, her best
friend followed lazily behind the pair and looked completely relaxed.
"Come on Akane catch up!" cried the pig tailed martial artist as he
bounced across the school grounds; Ranma froze in mid jump, "Trouble!!"
He turned to see an umbrella aimed at him rushing for the ground, in an
instant the aim was adjusted and he crashed down where Torako had been
only moments before. "Kagome! Prepair to die!" the girl landed outside
the crater created by the blow as she flipped back gracefully.
"Well, well. If it isn't the pig boy! How are you Ryoga?" said the girl
calmly as she faced him. From her school bag she pulled a long red silk
sash and tied it around her waist.
"How dare you call me that after what you pulled!" screamed Ryoga in a
rage.
"Have you come to challenge me?" Torako raised her eyebrow and noticed
her father appear from the building in a mad rush.
"Feh, how feeble; Challenge? This is revenge!" roared the lost boy as he
threw his umbrella like an oversized frizbee that bounced around the
students and returned to him missing Torako narrowly twice as it passed
her.
Akane noticed Ryo stopped cold and stared at his daughter with wide
eyes. He stood for a moment and then sat down on the ground. "Mr. Kagome!
Aren't you going to do something?" cried Akane in shock.
"I...can't, I cannot interfear with this battle." said the man as he
looked aside in shame.
"What?" gasped the students in wonder.
"No matter what it takes Torako! I shall destroy your happieness!" Ryoga
snarled and closed his umbrella.
"Somehow, I seriously doubt that." said the girl with a strange smile.
"I will challenge you in three days!" said Ryoga as he pointed at her
with a scowl etched on his face.
"No, we will finish this now." said the girl simply. "I know a place."
Ranma noticed Ryo had a strange blue fan in his hands that he kept
closed as he watched the two move towards the field; Ryoga had to be
corrected several times but he made it in the end.
"That guy sure seems familiar." said Ranma honestly, Akane gave him an
od look and said nothing.
Ryoga stood ready and Torako waited patiently across the field. Ryo sat
on the edge of the field and held out the fan. "Begin!" he called.
The girl rushed forward full speed and slashed at Ryoga with a wide
variety of kicks and punches. "Still using my father's style?" she
commented.
"This hasn't got anything to do with him! This is about you stealing my
humanity! All those years of mocking me! You probably had it all
planned!" Ryoga shot out with a kick that took Torako dead on her side
and threw her to the ground violently, she rolled in time to avoid the
umbrella strike that followed and staggered to her feet.
She snorted. "You still smell like pork to me." Ryoga reacted and she
jumped forward putting her knee into his face and twisting around to
punch at his neck.
The lost boy staggered for a moment and regained his ballance. He turned
and was met with a vicious kick to his jaw that sent him reeling almost
causing him to black out.
A small sad look crossed Torako's features for a moment as she realized
the next blow would end the match, she brased herself and sent her foot
arcing towards the back of Hibiki's neck in a reverse cresent kick. His
reaction was unexspected and fast, his hand snaked up and grabbed her
ankle before the blow connected and held her fast. Quickly she flipped
back and kicked him with her free foot in the face again, causing him to
stagger back; but he also kept his iron grip. Torako landed on the ground
roughly as her momentum stopped in the air, and Ryoga kicked her hard in
the gut causing her to black out. Ryoga grinned and prepaired his final
strike; a killing blow.
"Ryoga stop!!" cried a gruff voice from across the feild. The boy
reacted quickly and stopped cold millimeters before her neck. "Have you
learned nothing I have taught you boy!? Death is never the answer! There
is always another way!"
"M-master? What are you doing here?" Ryoga was in shock, he was so
preoccupied with Torako he had not noticed his old master standing there.
"That is my line boy! What are you doing to my daugther?!" Ryo was at
his side in an instant and Ryoga realized he never would have gotten the
death blow off with him there.
"She ruined my life! She stole my manhood away from me!" Ryoga struggled
with his emotions in front of the man and staggered back.
"So build a new life. You have humiliated and defeated her utterly, and
this still was not enough?" Ryo looked confused and hurt that the boy
would try something like that on her.
"It's not that easy!" cried Ryoga angrily.
"Isn't it? I think the answer to your question is about to wake up...Son
in law." Ryo gave Ryoga a wicked smile and stepped back just in time for
Torako to force herself into Ryoga's arms with a joyous exspression on
her face.
"I love you." she said softly and pressed her lips against his, a moment
later Ryoga struggled for control of his confused emotions as her tounge
probed his mouth uninhibbited.
"What?" gasped Ryoga as he staggered and fell to his knee's with the
young girl in his arms. "What the hell?!"
"I knew you would come Ryoga-kun! I knew you would come and free me from
this lonelyness!" the girl pulled the red shash from around her waist and
wrapped it around his arm. "My beloved."
Ryoga just stared into her eyes and his jaw dropped. "But I'm supposed
to kill you! You stole my manhood!" he pathetically floundered and backed
away in a desperate attempt to free himself from her embrace.
"Feels like it's still there to me." she purred as she buried her face
in his chest seductively.
Ryo frowned and coughed into his hand; Torako stood up and pulled Ryoga
along behind her as she approached her father. "Wo dai Airen." she said
pulling him close to her side and giggling.
"What? What just happened?" stammered Ryoga in complete confusion.
"You aprove mother?" said the young girl with a wistful look in her
eyes, she already knew the answer even though she knew her parent was not
happy about such a young union.
"Very well..." he grumbled.
"Mother?" said Ryoga loudly.
"Now that....is a secret." replied the man as he winked and waved his
finger at Ryoga.
"What the hell just happened?" cried Ryoga louder than ever in complete
shock.
"Why Son in law..." started Ryo with a wicked smile on his face.
"Don't call me that!" Ryoga seemed more frightened now than anything
else.
"You just became engaged to my daughter; according to the laws of our
people you are now her fiancee." Ryo pat the boy on his back and led him
off the feild. "I needed an heir for my school anyway."
"What's wrong with me father?!" cried Torako angrily.
"You have the attention span of a two year old, that's what's wrong with
you." said the diminishing voice of her father as they started to walk
towards the school.
"Daddy! Your so mean!"
Ranma, Nabiki, and Akane stood in the feild stairing at nothing as the
wind blew by; they stayed this way for a full minute before Akane spoke
up.
"What just happened?"
"I don't know, but I think Torako is winning the bet now." replied Ranma
unsure of what he had just said.
"Oh well, you can't win them all Ranma-kun." said Nabiki as she turned
away. All around them, hundreds of male Furinkan students buried thier
faces in thier arms and started to cry.
Akane sighed and pulled at Ranma's shirt. "Come on fiancee, let's go
home."
"Yea, I wonder what Kuno will think of this?" Ranma staggered off as the
shock finally wore off completely.
Ranma-chan walked down the street looking as cute as possible as she
hunted down free food in the business section of Nerima. She turned a
corner and was suprised to find a large pink and fluffy stuffed bear in
her arms. Standing tall before her Tatewaki Kuno coughed nervously. "What
the hell do you want you pervert? Don't you know how young I am?"
"You misunderstand my intentions, I only wish to get to know the
beatiful young maiden who will become my sister once I wed the beautious
Torako Kagome." Kuno turned away from her looking embarassed. "Perhaps I
could take you out for an iced cream? I shall even get you...sprinkles."
"How old does he think I am?" thought Ranma as he looked at the bear.
"Oh well, free food is free food."
Ranma smiled as Kuno sat across from her stiffly. "I trust this will be
our secret, I do not wish your father to get the wrong idea about us. My
intentions are completely honorable I wish to date with your sister, and
I seek advice on how to do so."
"So your tryin to use her little sister to get into her pants right?"
Ranma looked at him and returned to eating her sunday.
"You musn't say things like that, little girls should be much more
polite." Kuno blushed and turned his head.
"Yea, yea. Your too late, she just got engaged with her boyfriend."
Ranma stuffed her face and managed too look cute while doing it. Kuno on
the other hand was a different story. His jaw dropped like a lead weight.
"Boyfriend? Who is this man who would go behind the back of the mighty
Blue Thunder?!" his hands shook with anger and Ranma looked up at him
with an odd smile.
"His name is Ryoga Hibiki, he doesn't go to Furinkan." she smiled
broadly as a plan formed in her mind. "Call me little sister will ya? Heh
heh, well 'Big Sister' I've got something for you..." his wicked thoughts
turned back to Kuno.
"Where is this ruffian schooled so that I might challenge him for her
hand?!" screamed the Kendoist as he gripped the edge of the table.
Ranma finished her ice cream up and stood walking out of the shop. "He
doesn't go to school, he's one of those wandering martial artist types.
He's staying at our house right now thought. Don't worry, I like you so
I'll help."
Kuno sucked in a breath of air violently and staggered out of the table.
Ranma walked out of the ice cream store with a huge grin plastered across
her face.
She was surprised to find Nabiki waiting outside. "Well Ranma I am
impressed, you even ordered the most exspencive thing! There may be hope
for you yet."
"Yea well, I've got to get her back for the little sister thing ya
know." said Ranma sheepishly.
"Don't worry Ranma I won't tell a soul, this will be far to entertaining
on it's own." Nabiki turned away and snickered under her umbrella as she
walked home.
Ryo sat in the Tendo training hall with Akane staring at him with
saddened eyes. "What is this about? Are you upset about Torako's
engagement? I can exsplain why..."
"I don't care about that, she is happy and it's all that matters to me."
answered the young girl as she threw a bucket of water on him. "I want to
talk to Auntie Talcum."
Ryo looked surprised and said nothing as he pinned his hair up on his
head almost out of habbit, it grew much longer in his female form and
almost fell to the middle of his back. "What is this about Akane?"
"I just needed to see it for myself I guess." she said as she sat down
on the floor in front of her with a haunted exspression. "I've seen Ranma
change before, but never you or Torako; even though you told us."
"I'm extreamly cautious Akane." was all the woman could say.
The girl rushed into Ryo's arms and buried her head in her chest. "I
always wanted to be just like you when I grew up auntie. I just..."
"Don't be upset Akane, I am still the same woman you knew. My
personality changes slightly because of my curse, so I am not simply your
Uncle Ryo in a female body, I also have motherly instincts and much more
emotional feelings towards others. It is difficult to exsplain." she
cradled the crying girl in her arms and comforted her. "In fact I'd
prefer if you called me Auntie when I'm like this."
Akane's grip grew tighter, "There's more Auntie, I had a crush on
you...I know it sounds silly but, Uncle Ryo was the kind of man I wanted
to be with when I grew up...and then it was all a lie."
"That doesn't sound silly at all Akane, I know it may sound strange to
you but I thought of all of you as my own children after your mother
passed on. I didn't want to replace her, but I did whatever I could to
comfort you and help your family. That is why you saw so much of me this
way after she passed on." she smiled as Akane snuggled closer to her bust
and sniffled.
"I'm glad you did, but I don't love Uncle Ryo in the same way! It feels
different, I still like him, but I feel betrayed and confused; I don't
know what to do!"
"Akane, move on with your life. I did what I did to protect my daughter,
I'm sorry it hurt you so much, but I cannot live regretting those moments
when they are so precious to me. Don't think about the painful lies
Akane; think about the moments of joy! Sometimes it's the only way you
can survive, believe me I know. You didn't lose a loved one Akane, you
just came to a new understanding of who they where, I only wish I could
go back to the way things where without the lies."
Akane sniffled again and hugged Ryo tighter, "Thank you Auntie."
The door to the dojo slid open and Ryo saw Kasumi standing there with
tears in her eyes looking pleased. "I'm sorry, I couldn't help but
overhear. Dinner is ready...Auntie."
Ranma and Genma gave the new woman at the table strange looks as they
ate with the Tendo's, "Hey, Pop who is that?" said Ranma absently.
"I don't know, just keep eating." said Genma in a whisper.
Ryo overheard and smiled slightly. "Ranma, I trust you will be in class
on time monday? You have been late for the past three days in a row. I'd
hate to have you in my office again."
Genma caught on first when he noticed the slightly smaller and lighter
scars on her face. "Kagome-kun?" he stammered.
"Yes Genma? Oh, that's right, I don't think you ever met my wife before
now." said Ryo looking amused. "If you ever did you where probably to
drunk to remember."
The man blushed and looked away in embarassment. "No I don't recall
meeting her."
"It's just as well, she wouldn't have liked you much anyway." replied
the woman with a smirk. "I told you I had been to Jusenkyo, had you
forgotten already?"
"Well, Kagome-kun, it just never crossed my mind again until now. You
know, I've never seen you change at all. How do you do it?" Genma gripped
his chopsticks and Ranma leaned forward hoping for some secret to relieve
his curse a little.
"It has alot to do with karma Saotome-kun, I've just got better karma
that's all." the woman shrugged and slapped Akane on the back of the
head. "Chew your food dear."
This got a reaction from all the Tendo's as they started to eat a little
slower without even realizing it.
"Boy, she really hasn't changed has she." muttered Nabiki.
"Where is Torako anyway?" asked Akane.
"She wanted to make dinner for her new fiancee' I told her it was
alright as long as she behaved herself; after all they are not married
yet." Ryo put her bowl on the table and smiled at them.
"You trust her that much?" asked Nabiki.
"She is a little impulsive, but very responcible. She would not break my
trust, she values it too much." the woman stood calmly and helped Kasumi
with the dishes after the meal before returning home.
Nabiki frowned, calling Torako a little impulsive was like calling Ataru
Moroboshi a little hormone driven. "I hope that poor boy is alright."

this entree]
