	The door of the records room slammed open and a secretary stepped

in.  "What happened?" she commented while looking around the room. 
The figure stood, and suddenly she found herself slammed against the
wall.

	"Where is Furinkan High school?"

I see Ranma had not thought a way to avoid psychotic obsessives
completely ^_^

	"Dates," Akane responded.  "She's been out with a different guy

every night."

	"Well dating is pretty much a once in a lifetime experience for

her.  Besides if it were serious she'd send them over to discuss
learning enough to have a chance to beat her." 

This brings up one thing I would like to know: While it is obvious
that defeating a Joketsuzoku requires an _outland_ male to marry her,
why would defeating her be a _requirement_ to marry her?

	Then glanced back down at the girl who now stirred in his arms. 

She opened her eyes and looked up at him.  "Oh, thank you."  Her arms
reached up and she quickly wrapped them around his neck.  "I was so
frightened!"  She added hugging Mousse tightly.

There is poetic justice here, as well as a happy ending.

	"Ah...  I just� that is I saw you�"
	"Your Kodachi right?"  Noriko commented.  Kodachi shifted her

suddenly 
"You're"

	Kodachi looked at Mousse and asked timidly "Is, is Shampoo

important to you?"

Since when has she...<recalls Ranma's displays of affection> nevermind.

	"You shouldn't feel jealous."
	"I AM NOT JELOUS, YOU EGOTISTICAL SEX CHANGING WEIRDO!"

Watch the spelling, but you have Akane's neurosis down pat.

	"No, this was their own stupidity pure and simple.  Apparently at

nine, they decided to follow your advice and flip for who took on
Kodachi, but they couldn't agree who would be heads and tales so they
had another match over THAT!  And then they couldn't agree about the
outcome so they started another contest."  She paused to groan then
sigh.  "When I got up this morning they were still at it.  I think
Shampoo was wining but they both looked too 
winning

	 Ranma sat there silently.  He knew what Nabiki wanted to ask.  He

knew that honor demanded he agree.  He also knew that she wasn't
asking because she knew how badly he wanted to throw honor to the wind
and refuse in the name of masculine pride.  He sighed.  "You found
her.  I'll ask mom to get me the outfit, and I'll meet you at St.
Hebereke later."

Yes, the gods do hate you Saotome Ranma, why do you ask?

	Kodachi pulled out a small whistle, looked where she was going,

then dropped it.

<snip>
	In the audience Kodachi was standing against Mousse, her head

buried in his chest.  "Oh Mousse-sama, you saved me again!" 

Well... I suppose that can be considered subtle....

Watch the spelling, otherwise good job.
