Ranma sweated for a moment.  She looked at Akane then Ryoga.  She 
sighed,
"This is one thing I cannot tell you.  I have regretted that promise 
since
the day I made it, but I cannot break it.  It is something Ryoga must 
tell
you."

Nodoka spoke quietly, "Ranko, if that promise causes you pain, then it 
is not
worth keeping."

And then Ranma said:  Ah, I'm not so hot.  I could never win a martial 
arts tournament, because Akane's way better than me.

And Happosai said:  Don't be silly.  I'm an old man who studies martial 
arts and meditation.  I have no interest in girls.
