Ranma 1\2:One simple wish.
a fanfic by Sean D'anna.
I own none of the characters so don't sue me as they all belong to Takahashi
samma. I'd appreciate C&C. Send to Catbert25@aol.com PLEASE POST AS I DON'T
HAVE MY OWN PAGE. Some of you may have noticed that I haven't posted any new
parts to my other fics Separation Anxiety 4 and Spirit  within 8 this is
because I have stopped production on these until this is finished which should
be now if your reading this. This was originally inspired by the song 'Don't
turn around' by  Ace of base. I'm not a fan of this band or anything but it
came on the Radio and I was driving, and I started to think.....Also I'd like
to say that this is in no small part inspired by the OAV 'AKANE AND HER
SISTERS. This was supposed to have been posted on valentines day but I didn't
finish in time. Gomen.

prologue.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Soun and Ganma looked at the cave as they stood breathlessly resting after
the long climb. Soun looked down the mountain they had climbed to reach the
cave and a small amount of egotistical pride emerged in his chest. "just like
old times eh Saotome?" he commented. "quite so Tendo." agreed his old friend.
"Lets get going, I hope this works Saotome."Said Soun as he walked into the
cave.
	A Few moments later the two weary travelers looked upon a beautiful pond just
inside the cave, it seemed to glow with a natural light from within the water.
Genma, who had some experience with magic springs, edged away carefully. Soun
looked at the spring and sighed. "There it is Saotome the legendary "Spring of
Eternal Light" Said Soun with tearful eyes. "It is said that those who travel
here are granted a single wish." said Genma sagely. Soun took a coin from his
pocket and threw it into the spring. A beautiful woman with long flowing hair
rose from the water, she opened her eyes revealing her almost transparent eye
color. "Her eyes glow like the water." said Genma with an odd look on his
face. 
	"What is your wish?" she asked in a strange ghostly voice. Soun spoke up. "We
wish that our children fall in love so that our families may be joined." he
said. "Your wish is the same?" It asked Genma. "Y-yes." said Genma remembering
the legend, only one wish is granted, those who wish more get none.  "Go your
wish is granted and my time here grows short." she said as she sank beneath
the water. The two men left the cave with tears in there eyes. 
	As they reached the bottom of the mountain the two weary travelers sat for a
moment to rest. "At last Tendo, our families will be joined!" said Genma. Soun
began to reply but was cut off by the explosion. The two  looked at the top of
the mountain and saw fire and lava erupting from the huge hole where the
mountain top and the cave had once been. 
	Ranma looked down at the battered Kuno and smirked "He Kuno" he quipped after
giving him his ritual beating for the day. Nabbiki smiled at this slightly and
started. "What brought that on?" she wondered. Ranma looked at her for a
moment and stoped."Does she always watch me like that?" he wondered...
	A few days later the two joyous travelers returned to their home. "Oh father,
Mr.Saotome! your home! every one will be so pleased." said Kasumi. cheerfully
greeting the two men. "Where are Ranma and Akane?" the men asked. Seemingly in
reply, "Ranma you JERK!" came from upstairs and Ranma flew from the stairs and
crashed into the Koi pond with a large mallet shaped dent in his head. "Uncute
tomboy." he grumbled. "Hey Pop, finally came back from cowering from the old
freak?" he asked noticing the two men. Soun looked at Genma. "It didn't
work...nothings changed!" said Soun in tears. "The explosion must have..." the
two men cried together not realizing how wrong they were.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 1: Only you...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Ranma shifted uncomfortably as he sat looking straight ahead noticing
Nabiki's gaze was on him again. "Whats wrong with you?" asked Akane sounding
angry. "Nothing." replied Ranma glancing at Nabiki. Nabiki walked off looking
strange as she headed towards the door. She glanced at Ranma for a moment and
looked at the ground as she walked away. 
	Ranma looked uneasy as Nabiki looked at him. "I hope she's all right..." he
heard himself say. Akane looked at him oddly, "All right Ranma what has she
got on you?" she grumbled. Ranma looked at her, "Nothing, thats whats
bothering me, she hasn't tried to get a single yen out of me in days." he
said. "Whats wrong with that?!" yelled Akane defensively. "Nothing except I'd
give all I have to he..." Ranma's train of though stopped abruptly. "What am I
thinking?" he said aloud. "Not much." said Akane as she dragged him outside
for school.
	A few days later Akane walked up to Nabiki uneasily. "Whats with you  two?
You've been avoiding each other all week, do you have something on Ranma?" she
asked angrily. "More than you'll ever know." said Nabiki. "But that has
nothing to do with this." she continued dryly. "Whats going on?" asked Akane.
"It's better if you don't know." replied Nabiki. Akane looked at her for a
moment. "And don't bother asking Ranma because he doesn't know." she added and
winced at her actions. Just then Ranma walked by with Shampoo and Ukyo in tow.
"I said I'm not hungry!" he said to the pair. Akane's face darkened "Jerk."
she growled. She stopped. Had someone else said that too? She turned to face
Nabiki and saw her slowly moving away from her as she walked away. "I must
have imagined it..."she said to no one.
	"Man I hope Nabiki doesn't see this." said Ranma under his breath as the two
girls badgered him. Ukyo stopped her argument with Shampoo. "Nabiki? why?" she
said. "Because stupid spatula girl she sell to violent tomboy." said Shampoo
trying to sound smart with her accent totally dispelling the illusion. "Ranma
we need to talk." said a voice from behind them. "UUH Nabiki I can explain..."
stuttered Ranma nervously. "Alone." she said. 
	Ranma looked nervously around as Nabiki lead him into the storage shed. "Look
I can explain..." started Ranma. "Shut up Ranma." said Nabiki. "From the way
your acting I'd say my suspicions are true. Since when do you care what I
think?" she said angrily. "What? I always cared!" said Ranma looking at her
and blushing. "No, it just seems that way because your in love with me." she
said. "What?!! No! I..." started Ranma. "The way you seem to have lost
interest in Akane you've hardly spoken to her all week. Plus you dodged her
the other day and ran away. That is some thing you never do just on a whim
without reason." said Nabiki in her most calculating voice. "What?!! I.."
began Ranma. "Can it Ranma. I think this is just one of Colognes games, now
tell me. Do you love me?" she looked at him with a hurt and angry gaze. "Yea."
he said looking ashamed. "Don't be ashamed, its not your..." she stopped
herself as much as she wanted to comfort him, now was not the time. "I am
having the same feelings." she said looking angrier. "And I don't like having
my feelings toyed with." she said coolly. "You think I do?" he asked looking
at her. She blushed remembering the time she tricked him into being her
fiancee'. "I am sorry about that..." she said. "Am I really?" she wondered.
"So what do we do?" asked Ranma trying very hard not to make any kind of
bodily contact. "WE do nothing, we freign ignorance until I can figure out
exactly what happened to us." said Nabiki.
"All right." said Ranma with a heavy sigh. And the two went about their day.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
part2 :What do you want?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Nabiki looked at Cologne angrily. "Spell? I'm afraid I don't know what your
talking about child." Replied the elder Amazon. "What?" said Nabiki. The old
woman would most likely help her it was not in her interest to see her and
Ranma in love. "I'm afraid It has been some time since I have tried magical
means to ensnare the son-in-law." said Cologne calmly. "But who? and why?"
said Nabiki coolly. "Tell me the nature of the spell and perhaps I can help."
said Cologne. "It is a love potion, and in almost two weeks it has not worn
off." said Nabiki. Cologne looked at her calmly. "I would have known by now if
my Shampoo had been messing with any of my spices that could even have such an
effect, and two weeks is far to long for any of the spells I could create
here. Are you sure this is a spell child? It may just be that you have fallen
for him." Cologne said with a wicked smile. "I'm not foolish old woman. I
thought of that but Ranma and I have been down this road before, if you
remember." she said coolly. "Your so called engagement was hardly like this
child, perhaps it was just your time for such a thing." said Cologne
carefully. "You think I didn't consider that? No, I'm fairly sure this is a
spell." Said Nabiki reinforcing her point. "And why is that?" asked Cologne
with a small smile. "Because Ranma is effected as well." said Nabiki matter of
factlly. Cologne's smile disappeared. 
	Ranma looked at Nabiki as she stood next to Cologne, pretty much ignoring the
old woman. "I see what you mean." said Cologne looking a little annoyed. "You
were wise to keep this from Shampoo."  "I�ve e seen how she deals with her
problems." said Nabiki dryly "Ranma please stop looking at me that way." said
Nabiki after a moment blushing slightly. Ranma also blushed and turned away.
"Cologne what can we do?" asked Ranma. Cologne looked at him. "He used my
name?" she thought idly. Cologne took something from her clothes. Ranma
immediately Recognized it. "the Reversal jewl?" he said with a slightly
strained voice. Ranma was an easy to read person, Nabiki knew he did not like
this item. "Yes its original pourpose is to counter love spells. What you know
of it is just an interesting side effect." said Cologne. "Place it on its side
over your heart child and if it is truly a spell it will be able to push the
effects away perhaps long enough to discover the source." she said with a
small smile, she never told many this but she rather enjoyed this sort of
thing. Nabiki smiled weakly at Ranma and placed the jewl on... "nothing
happened." she said. "Son in law now you place it on in the same manner. Ranma
complied. he looked at Nabiki who watched closely. Cologne sighed. "It is as I
feared." she said Finally. "What is it." asked Nabiki. "This is no spell
child, no wizards no matter how powerful they are, can change the fates lines.
You two are truly in love. Nabiki Tendo you are now an obstacle to my
granddaughter. You had best prepare." Cologne warned her as she lept away.
"Nabiki...I'm not sure I would have wanted things back the way they were."
said Ranma as he put his arm around her as she cried. she looked up at him,
"Thanks Ranma." she said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
part 3 :Truth be told.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
	"You see child it is as I feared." said Cologne as she looked into the
amulet. "Shampoo only saw a small light." said the young girl. The thread of
love that was between Ranma and Akane has been severed it is now a one sided
love." Cologne said to her great granddaughter. "Aiya! Shampoo so happy!"
Squealed the amazon. "But a new thread has been created between Nabiki and
Ranma." said Cologne. Shampoo smirked "I crush puny girl. She no can fight."
she said with a large grin. "She is a more dangerous adversary than you think
child." warned Cologne. "And the groom will be very protective of one so weak
in battle be cautious." she continued only to turn and see Shampoo had already
left.
	Ranma stood back behind Nabiki and watched warily as she conducted her
business. "Are you sure you have no pictures of the pigtailed goddess? asked
Kuno with a slight hunger in his eyes. Nabiki stole a glance at Ranma and saw
he was tring very hard to control himself. "I'm afraid these pictures will no
longer be available." she said looking at him. he flashed a small smile of
thanks to her. "That alone was worth the loss of profit to her. "I will pay
any price!" said Kuno loudly. Ranma grit his teeth. "I said they are not
available any longer Kuno." she said calmly. "So you wish to keep me from my
Goddess as well?! it seems you have fallen under Saotome's spell as well
Nabiki Tendo!" he said looking at her angrily. suddenly he felt an Iron grip
on his shoulder and he looked to see Ranma holding him forcefully down. "Thats
enough Kuno." he said through his teeth. "Take your hands off my personage
knave!" said Kuno. Ranma tightened his grip and Kuno cried out in pain. "I
said thats enough." he said coldly. "No, Ranma you stop." said Akane from
behind him.
	Ranma looked at his fiancee with sad eyes. "What's gotten into you Ranma?
You've become Nabiki's guard dog and you haven't spoken to me in weeks. What
ever it is I can take it ..I...I promise not to get angry." she said looking
at him. "How could have I have been so blind? She *is* in love with me..." he
thought with a small amount of pain, he would not enjoy hurting her but it was
the only way, for all of them. "Don't make promises you can't keep Akane." he
said as he walked way. "Ranma?" she said looking distraughtly at her fiancee.
	The next day Ranma ate his breakfast in his usual manner with the exception
of his apparent loss of interest in Akane. Akane looked at him angrily as he
sat between Nabiki and his father. "Jerk." she muttered. "Now what did I do?"
he asked. Nabiki got up and left for school, Ranma followed.
	"Ranma?" asked Nabiki as she walked along side him. "Hnn?" replied Ranma
pretending he wasn't watching her. "Don't turn away I'm allot more observant
than Akane." She said with a wry smile. Ranma blushed. "Do you want to be
cured?" she asked him nervously. "Huh?" he said looking dumbly at her as he
jumped down beside her. "I hate to admit it but...I've never been happier. I
don't think I could go back to who I was even if I was cured, I'd spend all my
time and energy just trying to find this again. I..I don't want this to stop."
she said sadly. Ranma stopped and looked at her softly. "I've never had a
normal relationship before." he said with more than a little red in his face.
"It is kinda nice..." he commented dryly. Nabiki grabbed him and kissed him
hard on the lips eventually probing his mouth with her tounge. Ranma hugged
her and returned the kiss after a brief moment of suprise. they broke it
abruptly. "Akane is not going to take this well." said Nabiki with a sad look.
Ranma looked slightly sad as well. "I'm more worried about Shampoo, she can be
dangerous Nabiki. You have to avoid her at all cost now." said Ranma
warningly. "You can train me." She said with a small smile  as she thought
about a buff and tried looking Ranma after his usual workouts. "I can and will
your in good shape and it wouldn't take more than a few months to get you
halfway decent, but no where near good enough to even stand a chance against
Shampoo or even Akane. Besides I don't want Shampoo giving you the kiss of
death on the off chance you can beat her." said Ranma looking at her softly.
"Akane is not going to take this well." She thought as a plan formed in her
mind. "I want you to start training me, tonight." she said.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few weeks pass...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Ranma looked as Nabiki sat in front of a small fire and began to train for
the chestnut fist. "OW! damn it!" she said whincing in pain. Ranma looked at
her in wonder. "She had had a great deal more skill than he had originally
thought. Apparently she had trained when she was younger and she kept in
shape. Also he was amazed at her seeming Renewed interest in the art she was
almost obsessive in the arts, she trained harder in these three weeks than he
had his whole life. "Nabiki you haven't developed the speed and arm strength
to do this yet." he sighed as he tried to convince her to quit.  "I will get
this." she said through her teeth. "Yea,... in a few months mabey, your not
ready for this yet." he said weakly. Nabiki ignored him. 
	Soun smiled as he saw the light in the Dojo still on. He was glad his other
daughter was once again interested in the arts. Although why she insisted that
Ranma train her, he reluctantly complied in the end. Akane also watched as the
Dojo light was still on. She was a bit angry that Ranma had been spending all
his time training her sister and a bit jelouse of her sisters determination.
Ranma had barely been able to speak with her in the past three weeks with
school and Nabiki's training schedule that according to him she herself made.
She wondered if it had anything to do with the fact that Shampoo had been
looking for her for the past three weeks. She had shown up several times and
waited for her at the Dojo  only to Just miss her. It was as if Nabiki had
been avoiding the amazon. She thought she even heard her training late at
night when every one else was asleep. She was beginning to worry that
something had happened between her and Shampoo.
	Shampoo growled at the luck of Nabiki Tendo she had tried several times to
remove her obstacle only to be stopped by Ranma, why was he defending her? she
supposed it was because she was weak and he felt it was his duty to defend
her. She felt a small amount of pride that he was that chivalrous. Then the
other day she had been able to escape her on her own. The cold bitch was
getting better, no where good enough to beat her but better still. She was
also getting harder to find her Great Grandmother was right about her being
more dangerous than she expected... 
	Ukyo Konji looked at her clock and saw it was time to close the store. Ranma
had not been by for some time now and she was getting worried. She closed her
store and thought for a moment he had been spending allot of time training his
new student and she saw him at school, perhaps he just hasn't had time to
come...he didn't have tome to see his own fiancee'? He is going to have some
explaining to do. she mentally growled.
	The next morning Ukyo turned the corner to make her way towards the school,
only to wish she never got out of bed. There was Ranma locked in a passionate
kiss with Akene his hand on her chest and hers on his ass...That was not
Akane.
	Ranma looked toward the sound of anger and braced himself. Ukyo was looking
at him with a rage in her eyes. "How dare you cheat on me!" she yelled . Ranma
backed against the wall with a look of fear in his eyes. Nabiki looked at her
hard. "Excuse me?" she said. "You get your hands off my fiancee' you hussy!!"
she yelled as Nabiki looked at her. "A-actually I grabbed her." said Ranma
looking very upset and ashamed. "And I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk to
her that way." he added as he looked at the ground his voice wavered. Ukyo
looked at him and stopped as a horrified look spread across her face she
turned and ran away with tears in her eyes. Nabiki looked at him and staired,
he had never done any thing like that for Akane, it was very likely he had
just lost his best friend. She hugged him as he looked at Ukyo's fading
silhouette. "That hurt Nabiki-chan." he said sadly. "I know Ranma-kun." she
said as she hugged him softly. 
	Later that day P-chan was enjoying a nap on Akane's bed when a shadow loomed
over his small body. "Hello Ryoga." said a female voice. Ryoga's eyes snapped
open as fear ran down his spine. he turned to face Nabiki, and breathed a
small breath of relief. "We need to talk." she said as she carried him towards
the bathroom.
	"Jeez Akane you think you could follow the instructions in the book just
once?" said  Ranma as he sat up after another one of Akane's meals. Akane hit
him on the head with her mallet and he fell face first on the table. Nabiki
looked at Akane darkly. "I'm going on a trip." announced Nabiki. Everyone
turned to look at her.  "I'll be gone for two weeks." she added. "What where?"
said Soun and Ranma in unison. "I need to do the taxes and I need quiet." she
said not entirely lying. "Two weeks?" asked Soun sounding distraught and not
entirely convinced. "We are being audited and I have to sort through all the
extra bills of two free loaders, and the damages from "The happy couple." she
winked at Ranma and gave Akane a dark look. Causing both to blush. "Im'
leaving tomorrow." she said. Ranma wanted to get up and tell every one that he
would be going with her but he knew he could not, not yet.
 	Soun Reluctantly complied and everyone accepted her excuse. After allot of
crying (Compliments of one Soun Tendo.) Nabiki made her good byes and left.
Once outside She headed for the vacant lot where Ryoga was staying. "Lets go."
she said. "Are you sure you want to do this? You could be killed, at your
strength you'll at least be very seriously hurt." said Ryoga in the vain hope
she would reconsider. "I don't care." she said coldly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 DAYS LATER...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Ryoga looked at Nabiki and sighed in relief. "I told you." she said looking
at him defiantly. "Your lucky you didn't die." replied Ryoga with an angry
look. "Your secret is safe." she said trying to sound as friendly as possible,
"I'm sorry I had to do this that way." she said. Ryoga snorted. "So now what?"
he said looking at her side ways. "Now I go home, after I make a stop." she
replied. At first he refused to train her even in light of loseing his secret,
but after he heard her reasons he was allot easier to convince. "I missed
something." she said as she walked away. leaving a confused Ryoga behind. He
followed her after realizing he didn't know where he was.
	"Father Nabiki's home early!" called Kasumi as Nabiki entered the house. "Oh,
my little girl is home!" he cried. He stopped as she saw Ryoga standing beside
her with a strained look on his face. Ranma Ran down the stairs to greet her
but also looked at Ryoga. Akane looked at Ranma angrily as he ran past her.
"Oh Ryoga-kun you decided to stop by?" she said seeing her friend. Ryoga
looked at her sadly. "Ranma its time."  she said sadly. A slow dawning crept
across his face. "That wasn't a business trip at all?" he said aloud. "No"
said Nabiki. Ranma grabbed Ryoga by his shirt. "What did you do?" he asked
angrily. Akane growled at him and pulled out her hammer. "Don't touch him,
Akane." said Nabiki. "I wont let you hurt him any more." she said sternly.
Ranma backed away as the shit was about to hit the fan. "Akane looked at her
sister. "What?" "you keep your hands off my boyfriend." said Nabiki. Akane
looked at Ranma with an angry look in her eyes. "You..You pervert!" she yelled
as she charged him only to get knocked away by Nabiki's kick. She stood and
looked at Nabiki. "Ranma and I are engaged Akane." she said as a slow
comprehension hit Akane. "This has been going on for a while hasn't it?" she
said as she looked at her sister. Nabiki nodded. "And you think I'll just give
up after I almost died for him?" she growled. "You'll have to no matter what
now I'm afraid." said Nabiki with a sad look.  "You BITCH! yelled Akane as she
charged Nabiki. She looked in horror as Nabiki walked into her punch unfazed.
"You had him Akane. and all you did was hurt him, I wont let you hurt him any
more. 'KATSU TENSHIN AMSGURIKEN"!" Nabiki felt her fist hit Akane hundreds of
times in the space of a second. Akane reeled from the blow but was not taken
out as Nabiki lacked accuracy.  	Ranma looked at Ryoga with a questioning
glance. Ryoga only nodded in answer, looking ashamed to have put her through
the Bakusai Tenketsu Training
	Akane traded blows with Nabiki and looked angrily at her. I can't hurt her
she thought as her punches had no effect on her sister. She swung again and
Nabiki blocked. Akane started and swung again at the same spot...blocked
again. Akane backed away and looked at Nabiki. She punched her in the face and
chest each time getting hit back and Nabiki made no attempt to block. She
swung at her sister once more, and stopped mid swing. Nabiki looked at her
sisters confused and hurt gaze, and nodded. Akane looked at her sister and
stood. "Late night training in her sisters room? apparently not." she thought
bitterly. "I found out a few days ago." said Nabiki. Akane turned wordlessly
and walked out of the Dojo, and out into Nerima. Ranma looked at Nabiki and
held her as she came into his arms with tears in her eyes. Soun looked at his
daughter, and frowned. the wedding will be tomorrow." he said to Ranma. Ranma
nodded and looked at his soon to be wife. he kissed her and looked at his
father. 
	Genma looked at Soun in horror. "It wasn't supposed to happen this way." he
said.  Akane had not returned for several days. Ranma had tried to comfort his
wife the best he could and her suprise pregnancy had not helped matters any.
They had received a letter saying that she had gone on a training trip and did
not know when she would return, if ever. It pleaded for them not to worry
about her. This is all our fault Saotome." cried Soun. "How so Tendo?" asked
Genma trying to comfort his friend. "The wish, it came true." sobbed Soun from
his mat as he lay distraught on the floor. Genma paled.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Epilogue 15 years later...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Ranma sat with Akane on the porch of the Tendo, now Saotome, home "I'm Glad
you decided to visit." he said looking at his sister. "Well, I love spending
time with my nephew, and niece." how are they anyway I haven't seen them yet.
"Well Reiko is probably off with Spring. We have to watch them like a hawk.
Ever since he beat her me and Shampoo have to watch them like hawks the little
perverts are allot more receptive to that law than I was with Shampoo." he
said looking annoyed. "Mai-chan is working for Ukyo, I still think she get her
cooking skills from your side of the family but Ucchan says she has promise."
He says with an amused smile. "Baka raising twins has made you soft." said
Akane playfully. You sound like Ryoga when Akari is not around, I'm still good
enough to kick both your butts." said Ranma with a smile. "That still pisses
me off Here I went and devoted my entire life to martial arts and travel
around the world learning all kinds of things and I come back and you still
dance around like always..." Akane grumbled. "How do you do it?" she asked.
"Ryoga mostly, he shows up every couple of weeks and we beat on each other
until one of us wins and then drink beer and talk shop and about old times.
Mousse too whenever he shows up in Japan on business, I think he and Shampoo
have been seeing each other behind the gouls back. Probly ever since she
stopped trying to kill Nabiki ten years ago. You should have seen the mess we
made last time all three of us got together." said Ranma with a chuckle. Akane
smiled. "So how long you gonna be in town?" asked Ranma. "Just a few days, you
know I like to move around. I'm starting to feel like Ryoga." said Akane.
"Nah, you actually know where your going most of the time." said Ranma with a
smile. "so when yo9u gonna find a man?" Teased Ranma. "Jerk, you know I've
been seeing that Teacher in Okinawa for a while now." she replied. "He seems
nice." Said Ranma as he got up to answer the phone. "Hello?...yes dear." Ranma
sighed as he picked up his coat and walked over to Akane. "I gotta go over and
Pick up that pervert son of mine from the Cat Cafe' they were at it again.
Luckily Shampoo caught them before anything happened, wanna come I�d
appreciate the embarrassment factor you'd provide." he said as he walked
towards the door. "Sure like father like son." she said as she joined him. "Is
Nabiki already there?" Asked Akane. "How did you..." started Ranma. "Because
you'd be in real trouble if you started calling Shampoo dear." she quipped.
Ranma turned red. "I want to get in a match with my sister while I'm here and
see how good a teacher you really are." said Akane as they walked out the
door.
DA End.
