Sorry if such a sudden ending disappoints you.  By the way, the joke that
Sakura is telling is a real joke.  I left out the punchline, but...=)  If
anyone would like to hear it, just ask.  It's dirty, inappropriot, and funny
as hell =)  I'm sorry to those of you who missed part four.  I thought I
sent it out, but so many people are missing it I guess I might not have.
Sorry!

Part Six:
Who's so pure?

Ranma and Akane walked politely around the guy with the dark blue
hair, assuming that he was talking to someone else.  Warui
blinked.  "H..Hey!  I'm talking to you!  Hand over the Pure
Innocent One!"
   They kept walking.
   So he jumped in front of them again.  "Where is the Pure
Innocent One!?"
   Ranma shrugged.  "I don't know what you're talking about."
   "How can you say that?!  You're engaged to the Pure Innocent
One!"  Warui was getting really angry.  "Give her to me now!"
   "Engaged...I'm engaged to Akane..."  Ranma stood there, trying
to figure this out.  "Aha!  Akane!  You must be the pure chick!"
Ranma started laughing.
   "And innocent," she added, laughing with him.
   "Bu...Wha...?"  Warui looked really confused.  "Aren't you
Saotome Ranma?"
   Ranma smiled.  He handed the guy a picture of Genma.  "You're
looking to beat up this guy."  :Eat that, Pops!: Ranma thought.
:This is for everything you've ever done to me!:
   "Oh.  Okay!"  Warui smiled at them and flashed the victory
sign.  He ran off merrily to the Tendou Doujou.
   Akane gasped.  "Ranma!  I think he was talking about Sakura!
He's your brother, and the one who wants to kill you and your
sister!"
   Ranma face faulted.  "Oh no!  I just sent him right in her
direction, too!"
   Ranma and Akane took off for the doujou at top speed.  They
hoped they would make it in time.

Warui beat them there.  He was sipping tea in the livingroom with
Genma.  "Hello there," Warui said.  "Did you forget something?"
   "I...You..."  Ranma shook his head.  "I thought you were gunna
try and kill me and Sakura!"
   "Oh.  That.  Well, she's really kind of a sweetie.  I've been
in a great mood pretty much since I got to Nerima, compared to
how I have been anyway.  I guess it's because I just found my
twin.  Just found out she *is* my twin."
   "Why were you pursuing her?" Akane asked.
   "I didn't know.  I still don't know.  I was just raised and
trained with one goal in mind: To seek out the 'Pure Innocent
One.'  But she doesn't seem to be so pure or so innocent to me."
Warui gestured to where she was sitting.
   It was true now.  She had changed.  She was no longer all kind
and good.  She was in the middle of telling Kasumi a joke that
sounded rather...dirty.  "So the doctor asked him, 'Then what do
you do in your spare time?'  The guy said, "Nothing.  Just sit
around eating cheeto's and watching...'  Oh!  Hi Ranma!  I didn't
hear you come in."
   Ranma blinked.  He blinked again.  He blinked a third time.
"What happened to you?"
   Sakura laughed.  It was no longer her cute, innocent girl
giggle, but more of a womanly out-loud-and-in-your-face laugh.
"Well, you and Warui were supposed to fight.  Since you didn't,
you didn't have to face 'the monster.'  This was destined to
happen.  When we met, we changed personalities.  He was evil, and
I was good.  Now we switched, but to a lesser degree.  We'll
even eachother out sooner or later."
   "She's leaving today," Genma said.  "She's going to travel
with Warui and learn martial arts.  And Warui is changing his
name to Tanoshii."
   "That's right.  Because now that I found my other half, I'm
happy!"  Tanoshii smiled.  "I'm really eager to get going, so
we're going to be heading off in a few minutes.  So say your
good-byes.  Sakura!  It's about time to go!"
   Sakura laughed.  "Okay!"  She gave Ranma a hug.  "Thank you
for helping me find my brother so quickly!"
   Sakura ran off, following her twin brother.

Years later, Tanoshii and Sakura were still traveling.  The
visited the doujou now and then.  People knew them everywhere
they went.  They traveled a lot, like Ryouga, but they weren't
lost.  Now that they'd found eachother, they were never lost.
