       The sound of his voice stabbed at Akane's heart. This
was the young giant that had destroyed two different
mountains. The man who could get into a fight with the son of
a dragon, or even a kami and still live to tell about it. Now
he was reduced to begging her to come say good night. For the
very first time in her life, Akane Tendo actually felt
needed. There could be no doubts or second thoughts on the
matter. Ranma needed to be loved and comforted by her, not by
Ukyo, not by Xian Pu, not even by his mother{, Nodoka :}. Ranma
needed her, Akane Tendo. With the realization that Ranma
needed her and not someone else, came the knowledge that she{,
Akane Tendo, :} really was a woman and that all the things that
had been said about her that caused her self-doubts were
false.  For the first time in her life she felt womanly. She
was in fact, feeling very, very womanly.

       What they needed now, as in{, :} immediately, was a way to
form an unbreakable bond. Akane was determined to make that
happen tonight. Too many opportunities had been lost to them
in the past, and an opportunity like this one was unlikely to
present itself for long time to come. For the moment, they
were secure from prying eyes and listening ears. There were
no worries about hidden cameras or obsessed parents hoping
for an excuse to break out wedding invitations. And, for
once, for the first time in almost a year, Akane would not
have to worry about some bitch of a martial artist
interrupting them. Tonight's the night! Akane thought. May
all the kami forgive me, for I am not going to give Ranma any
choice. Tonight, I make him mine forever.

       "The four of us should visit the sentou soon," Nodoka
said, remembering that some of the best gab-fests that she
had ever had with her friends happened while they were at the
public baths. Of course, when she was still a young girl, the
sentou was not {an option : a matter of choice}. Very few homes had their

own furo

in those days and the public bath was a necessary
institution. Nowadays, the sentou was becoming a form of
family entertainment to be indulged in only on weekends.
