A/N: Jeez, what is this madness? I mean, four chapters started within the same week… that just isn't like me. Anyway, thanks for the reviews!!
"GET BACK HERE, YOU PERVERT!!"
"WHY DON'T YOU FIGHT LIKE A MAN FOR ONCE, YOU OLD GOAT?!"
"Bwhaha! What a haul! What a haul!"
Natsuko and Akane bound from one roof to another after Nerima's resident pervert. They had been chasing him for the past three blocks and still hadn't been able to catch him, even _with_ him making a few pit stops grab some food and steal more of his 'silky darlings.' To say that this was frustrating and infuriating would be an understatement. Laughing his head off, he jumped over the street below to another roof.
"Hahahaha!! You two girls are a hundred years too slow for me!!"
Natsuko and Akane stopped, panting.
"This is *pant* pointless. Arg! Damn the old freak!"
"You're starting to sound like Ranma, Akane. Besides, you just have to play the lech's game." Akane started questioningly at Natsuko who cupped her hands over her mouth. "Oh no! The wind has blown my blouse off!"
As if on cue, Happosai came running back.
"Poor Natsuko! Let me cover your bear bosom!"
"Take a step back, Akane," she said, raising on her tiptoes.
Akane didn't have the time to ask why because Natsuko immediately began spinning at a speed that could rival a hurricane, blue ki beginning to form around her. Happosai inched ever closer, but it was he was only a foot away and Natsuko's ki at top strength did Akane see what Natsuko was doing.
"PIROUETTE TORNADO FIST!!" she screamed and slammed her fist down to the ground, forcing her ki down along with it. The ki was pushed Happosai's way, consuming him a tidal wave of blue aura. Happosai went flying until he became just a small star in the distance, his panties and bras all flying out of his sack and back to earth. Natsuko stood back up and rolled her wrist.
"Wow, I hit him farther than I thought." She turned to Akane, whose jaw had hit the ground. "What?"
"That…was…amazing…"
"It was no big deal. The freak deserved it anyway, right?"
Akane regained her composure and nodded. "Right! What was that move anyway?"
"The Pirouette Tornado Fist," Natsuko said. Akane stared at her, confused. Natsuko let out a sigh. "It works like this: when I spin around, I gather all my ki into a cyclone. Once it's reached it's peak, or however high I need it to be, I punch the earth and force it down. When it's forced down, it has no where else to go but out, so it goes wherever my fist is angled to or completely around me if I push straight down. Get it now?"
"I think that makes sense…"
"Don't worry, it does. It's one of the stronger techniques of Dance Fu."
"O…k…"
Natsuko looked off in the direction of the school. From there she could just about see Furinkan High's clock tower.
"Shouldn't you be getting to class, Akane? You and Ranma are gonna be late since we chased the old goat around this morning," Natsuko pointed out.
"Oh, shoot! You're right! See you later Natsuko!!"
With that, Akane dashed off the roof towards her home, leaving Natsuko all alone. She started back towards the dojo, until she looked back towards the direction she punched Happosai in.
Jeez, Pop wasn't kidding when he said Happosai was a pain in the butt. Oh well, he's gone for now, there are more pressing matters then the whereabouts of old perverts at the moment.
With that, Natsuko leapt off the roof and jogged towards the dojo in search of Hotaka.

"How much longer, Kazu-chan?" the little girl asked, looking up at Kazuma, who was walking along the fence. He looked down at the little girl, and then at the older one next to her, helplessly. The older girl (who had purple hair) merely shrugged her shoulders.
"Soon, Banchan," Kazuma replied.
"How long is soon?" Banna asked.
"Um, ask Perfume," he replied.
"Kazuma!" Perfume exclaimed. Banna looked up at Perfume expectantly. "What?"
"How long is soon?"
Now it was Perfume's turn to sigh. Both of them loved Banna like a sister, but she had asked 'how much longer?' about two dozen times in the last two minutes. She thought about telling the little girl to stop asking, but when she saw Banna looking up at her with those big green eyes, she couldn't do it. Perfume knew how much Banna missed her 'Hotachan,' and now that they were here, it was understandable why she was so impatient. Besides, who was she to dampen the spirits of a little girl?
"Soon is soon, Banna," Perfume told her.
"Huh?"
"Exactly. Isn't that right Kazuma?"
*BAM*
"Erm, Kazuma?"
Perfume and Banna looked over at Kazuma who sat on the road, next to another boy. Behind the other boy was a short, blue haired girl. But the boy looked like he could pass for Kazuma's twin with black hair, save the fact that he was shorter than Kazuma.
"Wow!" Banna exclaimed. "_Two_ Kazu-chan's!!"
"Are you all right, Ranma?" the blue haired girl asked, completely oblivious to what the little girl had said.
Ranma?! Perfume thought, alarmed. Waitaminute…
"I'm fine, 'Kane," he replied, standing. After brushing himself off, he offered a hand to Kazuma who excepted. "What 'bout you, buddy?"
"I'm alright," Kazuma replied. "Erm, sorry about knocking into you, I wasn't really looking…"
"Hey, it's alright. Neither was I."
Though I'm usually the only one to travel via fences.
Ranma suddenly felt something (or someone) tugging on his pant leg. Startled, he looked down at a little girl with raven black hair and big, green eyes. In her hair, she wore a yellow and black bandana as a headband tied off into a bow at the top.
"'Cuse me, but are you another Kazu-chan?"
Ranma knelt down so he was eye level with the girl.
"What's a 'Kazu-chan?'"
"Erm, that'd be me," Kazuma said blushing. He stepped forward and took Banna's hand. "Sorry about her, she just, erm, excited to be here."
"We're looking for Hotachan and Nats-chan," she blurted out merrily. She looked up at Ranma expectantly. Ranma was generally pretty good with little kids, but this one… shocked him, to say the least. He had no idea why either, and that bugged him. "Do you know where they are?"
***
On the other side of town…
"WHADDYA MEAN GONE BACK TO CHINA FOR A WEEK?!"
"Natsuko!! Calm down!! You're going to destroy the Cat Café!!
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT A STUPID RESTAURANT!! I WANNA GO HOME!!"
***
"No idea," Ranma replied.
"Oh." The little girl looked crest fallen. Ranma's chest swelled, he didn't mean to make the poor kid feel bad. "But, I know where they'll be later."
"Really?" Banna asked excitedly.
"Really?" Kazuma asked impressedly.
"Really?" Perfume asked skeptically.
[Yes, I know 'impressedly' is not a word. It just sounded better, okay?]
"Yeah, really," replied Ranma. "My name is Ranma an' this is Akane. Natsuko an' Hotaka have been stayin' with us."
"Yeah, the hotels were all booked and they had no where to go, so we invited them to sleep over," Akane added.
"Natsuko is my twin," Kazuma stated. "Would she be at your house right now?"
"So you're the legendary Kazuma," Akane said with a smile. "I've heard a lot about you from your sister. Anyway, Natsuko would probably at the dojo my family owns. To get to my house…"
While Akane was giving Kazuma directions, Ranma watched the two other girls that were with Kazuma. The younger one was bouncing around in joy and the older…
I don't think I've ever seen such cold eyes, Ranma said, shuttering. The girl's blue eyes had been scanning over him and Akane since they started talking, like they were some kind of threat. Ranma was just about to say something to her when…
"Right, I think I can get there," Kazuma said. "By the way, this is Banna, Hotaka's little sister, and Perfume, my fiancée and all of our long time friend," he said, pointing to each of the girls in turn.
"It's nice to meet you," Akane said with a smile. Banna beamed at her and Perfume gave a small smile.
"Nice to meet you, too," she said quietly.
Kazuma scooped up Banna in his arms, mid-jump, and motioned to Perfume.
"Well, it was nice meeting you, and thanks for the information!" he said, walking off with his two comrades.
"Nice to met you too!" Akane called after him waving. Ranma just stared at the purple haired girl.
What on earth did she find so threatening?
*BRIIIIING*
"Shoot! Ranma, that was the late bell!!"
Akane and Ranma sprinted off towards Furinkan.
Jeez, what a way to start the day.
A/N: Well, whatcha think about these three? There are a few more, mainly Perfume's brothers, but they won't show up until _much_ later. Anyway, the rest of the main cast has arrived. Now I can start on the fun stuff… Nice stop, karaoke bar! Bwhahaha… Also, a bit about how they all got here, and how they're going to pay for their time at the Tendo's. (You didn't honestly think Nabiki was going to let them stay for free, did you?) Please remember to review! Until next time!!
