Grabbing P-chan and Ryouga's clothes Ranma-chan ran for cover in the grove of tree's. Soun and Genma close behind trying to get shelter from the rain. Standing under the tree's Ranma-chan held Ryouga close to her. "Great!! the one thing I didn't want! I didn't want to turn into a girl right now.. geez of all the times..." Genma grumbled and held up a sign that a read "Don't complain boy.. its better then nothing." Soun and Panda Genma stood a bit away from the boys, wondering if they could keep the seceret of Ranma and Ryouga's love affiar, concidering they had a hard enough time keeping their's a seceret.
Ranma-chan ran the fingers of one hand through her damp red hair and sighed, holding P-chan nuzzled close to her breasts with his clothes underneither him. Walking on deeper into the grove of tree's more towards the Tendou Dojo, Ranma-chan left Soun and Genma to be alone to think which she was almost certain they weren't going to do. A smile spread across her lips, she exited the grove of tree's. Walking back in the direction they had both came from.
The rain still poured down on them from the dark grey clouds above, turning her face to the sky Ranma-chan noticed that she couldn't see the room. Starting to somewhat run at a decent pace to get back to the Dojo, Ran-chan finally ran through the gates and through the door.. panting and soaking wet much to the surprise of a started Kasumi.
"Oh! Ranma you scared me!" Kasumi said placing a hand to her mouth in surprise. Ran-chan slunked over and sat at the table setting Ryouga's wet pack and clothes down in the corner by the door.
Keeping P-chan close for a moment and as soon as Kasumi excused herself to go get some tea for Ranma she let him go.
P-chan raced from the dining room his clothes held tightly in his mouth,and ran into the bathroom jumping into the tub and jumping out fully dressed as Ryouga again. He smiled and shook his hair, glad that he stayed wet from the shape change. Quickly Ryouga walked down the hall, and into the dining room. Taking a seat next to Ran-chan before Kasumi re-enterd with some tea.
"Oh hello Ryouga, I didn't hear you come in... hold on a second and I'll get you a nice warm cup of tea" she said happily as she set Ranma's tea down in front of her. Ryouga and Ranma looked after Kasumi, both realizing just exactly how Niaeve and air-headed Kasumi really was. Both shruging they quickly cast a smile at eachother and soon Kasumi was back in the room, tea cup in hand for Ryouga. "Here you go Ryouga" she said sweetly and placed the cup in front of him before going over to sit at her spot, taking her cup in her hands she raised it to her lips but stoped and peered at Ranma and Ryouga over the rim of her cup.
"Is something the matter Ranma.. Ryouga? it looks as if there is something on your minds" She took a sip of tea and looked at them curiously. Ranma-chan and Ryouga shook their heads in unison. "Naw Kasumi.. nothing wrong, just the weather and how late it is.. oh hey Kasumi.. why aint ya asleep?" Ranma said while Ryouga sipped his tea calmly. "Oh, I was worried about you Ryouga, since last time I saw you two you were talking by the koi pond..." She said with a smile and sipped her tea.. Ranma took a sip of his tea, hoping that Kasumi didn't notice his trembling hands.. 'Oh no...what does Kasumi know..' Ranma and Ryouga thought at the same time, fearing for the worse case senerio..

Nabiki slept fitfully that night, dreams of things that could possibly going on with her father and mr. saotome making for nightmares beyond her imagination... While all the out inthe rain in the clearing by what used to be their seceret place Soun and Genma acted just exactly as they did in Nabiki's dream.. Genma in Panda form and all, the nights events were more interesting and pleasurefull then the first...

Akane mumbled, dreaming about Ranma... Shampoo of course in the dream trying to steal ranma away with one of her sneaky tricks. %peering into Akane's dream..%
~*~"Curse you Shampoo!! Ranma's mine and you can't have him!" Akane rushed towards shampoo her fist ready to make its mark in shampoo's gut. She jumped away pushing Akane aside as she did so... "Stupid Akane no get Ranma! he all mine!" Shampoo shouted and rushed at Akane with her usual weapon.
Akane jumped over Shampoo's weapon and almost landed on her head untill all of a sudden a plastic duck shaped training toilet smashed into her side. She looked up and saw Mousse standing over her "No one fights Shampoo!" He yelled and threw one of the various objects up his sleeves at Akane. Quickly Akane rolled to the side and hardly dodged the object being thrown at her. "AH!" She screamed and she jumped up and stood in a ready position.... "Mousse you no fight for Shampoo! Shampoo fight for self!" Shampoo yelled at him and wapped him away with her weapon, in her usual meanness to mousse, this was nothing new. The two girls continued to fight, untill finally Akane became the victor and completely KO'd Shampoo. She grined glad now that since she kicked Shampoo's ass....... 'One obsiticle over.. now how do I get rid of Ukyou and Kodachi..?' Akane thought to herself.~*~ %out of Akanes dream%
Akane smiled happily, glad at how the dream was going and snuggled in closer to her blankets. A small sigh and the dream battle continued, while for Ranma-chan and Ryouga the battle to stay awake enough to talk to Kasumi.. wasnt something so easily won..
