Description: Akane has brought home a little friend from school. (And
when we say little, we mean little.) But Kasumi and Nabiki are going on a
trip with Dr. Tofu. Can Akane and Ranma survive their endless
quarreling…with a cute kid right in the middle of it all?

Chapter 1 - Well, um, who's that?
[Akane]
"Tadaimasu!" I called from the doorway.
After taking off my shoes, I walked down the hall and into the den. All eyes were on me as soon as I stepped in. Well, not exactly, it was what was on my back really…
"Okaeri, Akane-chan," Kasumi onee-chan greeted as I entered the den.
"Oh, so you've brought your little friend for the weekend." She smiled at me while the rest of my family looked at me.
"Yes," I answered back.
"But are you sure, you'll be all right, Akane?" My big sister gave me a look with concern.
"I'm sure I'll be fine," I assured her while patting the bundle on my back.
Ranma gave me a strange look. "What's a kid doin' on your back?"
"My friend's little brother."
"Yes, the Sadamoto's asked Akane to take care of him." Dad came over to play with the baby. "What a healthy boy."
Ranma still held that strange look on his face.
I adjusted the baby to now be in front of me. Then, I smiled and looked down at him. "You're so cute, Ryusuke."
"Yes, he is, Akane." Kasumi patted his head gently.
"So what do you plan to do with him, Akane?" Nabiki asked as she was coming into the den. "Are you sure you know what you're doing?"
"That's what I've been thinkin' all along," Ranma commented. "Geh!"
I had thrown something at him and the baby giggled in delight.
"I'll be fine,"I answered.
During the evening, Kasumi and Nabiki were putting on their shoes and held their bags firmly.
"Are you sure you'll be okay, Akane?" Kasumi was even more worried.
"I'll be fine, I said." I continued to pat the baby.
"Okay. But in case, I left the number of where we're staying. And I stacked up as much you would need during the weekend." She then touched the baby on the chin. "Bye, Little Ryusuke. You're sister Akane will take good care of you."
"Come on, Sis." Nabiki said, "Dr. Tofu is waiting."
"Bye, everyone." they both said.
"Bye!" we all said back.
Everyone else went back inside after waving goodbye. Ranma closed the door and he stood there a moment looking at Ryusuke and me.
I finally looked up at him. "What?"
He shook his head as he put his hands in his pocket. "Nothin'."
We entered the den and I put Ryusuke in the playpen that had been set up for him by the men of the house that afternoon.
"You stay there for a moment." I smiled down at him again. "I have to get your bottle."
Dad came over and started clinging the rattler to his face. They were laughing all that time until I came back from the kitchen.
"Mr. Tendou, you're really good at this," Ranma commented.
"A martial artist must know what to do at all times."
"That's right, Ranma." Mr. Saotome replied right after.
"Then, what aren't you doing anything, Pops? Hmm?"
"I already had a boy." He pointed at my dad. "See? Tendou's having fun."
Then, Ranma looked over to me. "Hey, what are you doing, Akane?"
"Well, I have to set up where I'm going to sleep."
"You're sleeping down here?"
"Well, obviously, dummy." I set up my futon next to the playpen.
"Isn't that right, Ryusuke?" I picked him up from my dad's arms and walked over to Ranma. "By the way, you haven't even so much as played with Ryusuke. Why?"
"Nothing, I-Hey!"
Ryusuke was reaching out his hands to Ranma. I looked up and down at both of them. I couldn't help but start to giggle.
"What's so funny?"
"You two." I held Ryusuke out to Ranma. "Why don't you hold him?"
"No thanks. I don't know anything about kids."
Ryusuke finally crawled out of my lap and into Ranma's.
"Hey, kid." Ranma looked down at him. "Hey!"
"Akane, I don't know anything about children. Help me out here." Ranma looked at me with a worried expression. "Hey, Akane!"
"This coming from the martial artist who says he can do anything. Honestly." I got up and smiled at both of them. "Seriously, would you please take care of him for a while? I need to bring more stuff down. And I need to make sure if everything's locked because Kasumi isn't here to do it. Besides, I've been carrying taking care of him all this time…"
"Okay, okay." Ranma looked up at me with this stupid expression that I had to keep smiling or else I would laugh in his face. I needed to avoid fighting with him, at least for right now…
Then, he looked down at Ryusuke, who started to giggle in delight as he tried to reach out and pull Ranma's bangs.
"Hey kid!"
I laughed again as I walked out of the den..
I had to admit: It was kind of cute.
