The Search Begins
Ranma was setting out for Tokyo ready to find his wife. His menservants had backed everything in a cart wagon and were ready to follow Ranma. Yet not all their courage and trust were with them. After Ranma killed that one servant, the rest were scared of him.
Ranma pulled out the letter Akane had given to him and read it. Suddenly his mind was turning over with rage. Ranma dropped to the ground and sniffed it. He suddenly turned and faced west and said "Sheeee went thatssss way," Ranma hissed then he started running in that direction.
His servants whipped the horses of the wagon and followed Ranma down the dirt road. They off to their first stop Tokyo where they would search for Akane and end her life. Forever.
******************************************************************************
Akane walked down the street in afternoon near her hotel. She looked across the street with depression in her eyes. Her spirits perked up as she thought she saw Ranma. She ran across the street not watching for cars at all. Yet when she got to the other side, she saw that it was not Ranma at all.
She apologized to the man she had mistaken for Ranma and continued her walk. The day was glorious afternoon. The sun was shining and the grass was glowing green with youth and life.
Yet all beauty must die.
Suddenly a cloud from the east came over and others followed it and the sunshine once brilliant and marvelous now became dull and dark. A crack of thunder released cold freezing rain drops that hit Akane's face.
She remembered in her mind about Ramna and added that to anther reason on the list why she left Ranma.
******************************************************************************
The raindrops also fell upon Ranma's party soaking them. Ranma looked up at the sky as the raindrops hit him and said aloud "Shit, this just had to happen now didn't it."
Suddenly Ranma's body shifted. His hair grew red and his chest grew out. He had turned into a women. This was one of Ranma's curse. He had been cursed by falling into a pond that cursed him. Whenever cold water touched his skin he turned into a woman, and with hot water would return normal.
Ranma's servant chuckled to them selves at Ranma's appearance at this time. Ranma turned and looked at his servants the way a wife might look at her husband as warning before death. (Husbands were always given that look, and were petrified when they were given that look.) And his man servants shut up.
******************************************************************************
Akane thought she would right a list of how many reasons she left Ranma. She started:
1. He always ruins the carpet
2. When ever it rains and we go outside, people think we are lesbians.
3. Those other women who Ranma was engaged to are real bitches
Akane couldn't think of anything else. Maybe three reasons weren't enough to call a
divorce. Maybe she even had feeling for Ranma.
But the lesbian reason was a big reason.
