Disclaimer: I wish I did, but I don't own Inu-Yasha or Ranma. I do own Hikaru and Keitaro, however.

"Ranma!" Akane screeched, "Just what do you think you're doing?"

"Akane! It ain't what you think!" Ranma said as he tried to get Shampoo off of him. Unfortunately for him, Akane wasn't convinced. She proved it with her mallet. Where did Ranma land? You're guess is as good as mine is.

"Inu-Yasha! We're taking a bath! Get out of here! Take Miroku with you!" Kagome was angry and quite embarrassed. Sango was just angry.

"Um. Hi, Keitaro." Hikaru said, "I really need to talk to you!" Hikaru was so nervous, but she knew how important this was.

"A-About what?" Keitaro crossed his fingers that she was NOT talking about how he felt about her.

"I need to know how you feel about me.us." Hikaru hoped that she wouldn't regret saying that.

"I'm sorry, Hikaru-chan. I just need more time to think."

"Ah, Akane Tendo, Kagome Higurashi, and Hikaru Mizuno. Looks like they could use some help when it comes to boys. I have just the plan." Said the strange, omnipotent man.

'Three girls in Japan will disappear. Anyone who wishes to rescue them will have the chance.' Although no one could see where the voice came from, everyone heard it.

"That voice! It's so familiar. *gasp* It's that guy; the wanderer!" Ranma wondered why that nice man would kidnap 3 girls.

"$100 says Akane gets kidnapped!" Nabiki, of course, was making money off the current situation. And, of course, she was right.

A/N: I know the chapter's short, but it's a prologue.
