Authors notes: Gender issues may get a little confused.  Ranma thinks of
himself as male in this story.  (And Ranran of herself as female) The
gender pronouns I use will vary depending on the viewpoint of the

character

in question.  In other words just because I say 'he' doesn't mean 'he'

will

be equipped with the typical parts of a man at that moment.

***Check that.  "He" may not be properly equipped at that moment.  Got cha.

[* - Authors Note: They are basically sitting on their feet, while
kneeling without crossing their legs.  If you've got the manga you know
what I mean.  Actually I find this quite a comfortable position.]

***Would that be "zeiza"'referring to?  That would be the extremely
uncomfortable
sitting position (even for the Japanese) where your legs are folded under
your body
with your body weight resting directly on them.  Put wonderful pressure on
your
knees and ankles.  Try it for 5 hour tea ceremony in a kimono, trust me it
hurts..  Bad.

  [Author's Note: A Japanese style bath (furo) is larger than Western
baths and it is not so unusual for relatives to share them].

***Well it's been shown in the Anime that the Tendo O-furo is larger enough
for two,
however they rearely are even that large.  They are usually much deepers
than western
bath tubs, but also much shorter.

  Ranma stripped first and rinsed off with a bucket of water. "Ah! Cold!"
*Brrr* "Com'n sis, what's the hold up?"

  Ranran, still half dressed, turned to face her brother "It's a little
embarrassing ..."

  "What is?" Ranma asked in full doesn't-get-it mode.

  "My ... well ... some things just show up more when I'm in my male
form."

  "You don't mean ... Ewww!" Ranma quickly crouched down, covering up his
breasts. "At's da last time I havva bath with _you_!"

  "No!" Ranran shouted, "It's not you - it's Nabiki.  I'm not completely
naive - but that's the first time a girl has ever grabbed me like that!"

  "You too, huh?  She must be completely shameless."

  "What's worse is that I shouldn't even have 'that' to grab.  I can't get
it out of my mind." Ranran complained. "It's creepy."

  "Your _mind_ huh?" Ranma asked, "And which part of 'your mind' is going
to show if you finish getting undressed.  Com'n - a coupl'a buckets of
cold water will help finish that off," Ranma said with a smile, relieved
that nothing strange was going on between him and his sister.

  A short drenching later, Ranma and Ranran slipped into the hot tub of
water.

- Elsewhere

"Akane?  The bath is ready!" Nabiki informed her.

- Back in the bathroom

  "So, what do we do now?"  Ranran asked her brother, up to her chin in

the

tub.

  "I suppose they are going to find out sooner or later ..." Ranma said as
he climbed out, his sister following.  Unfortunately Akane chose that
exact moment to open the door, slip out of her bath gown and enter the
room.

  There was a moment of stillness and silence - Akane saw a strange woman
in her bathroom (Ranran), Ranma saw Akane standing naked in the doorway
and last but _definitely_ not least Akane saw a strange man (Ranma)
getting out of the bath - completely naked.  A fact confirmed as Akane's
glance slipped downwards ...

  The moment over, Akane stepped quietly out - shut the door and took a
few steps away before "KYAAAH!!"

  She ran down the stairs screaming, lifted a 15 stone ornamental stone
from the garden and shouted "I'll weigh him down and drown him in the
bathtub!"

***Pleaes don't use British/Irish (well I know that they use it anyways)
measurements
please.  The rest of us really don't have a concept of how much it is.  Use
metric or ft-lbs.


Hmm.... Ranma has a pervert twin sister... interesting...
