A/N: I'm back! Yay! And guess what? I have writers block, so expect this to be a really short chapter. My deepest apologies.
Chapter 12: Plans
School was unusually uneventful for the rest of the week except for Ranma's inevitable fights with Kuno. As Ranma and Kagome walked home on Friday, they could not help but smile at each other. They were becoming closer every day and as far as they were concerned, life was perfect. Inuyasha and Akane were walking hand in hand a little farther back. Sango however, walked ahead of the two couples, staring off into the distance.
"They're going to be heartbroken when we leave…" she thought to herself.
Meanwhile, back at the Tendo Dojo, Kasumi and Lotion, who was visiting again, were thinking the exact same thing.
"We need to come up with a way to get Ranma and Akane back together!" said Kasumi, banging her fists on the table. (Kasumi must be really frustrated! O_o)
"Calm down" said Lotion, "they'll be home any minute now, and you'll blow our cover if you shout like that."
"Yeah…you're right. But what are we going to do about this?"
"I don't know. We need help; someone who knows Inuyasha and Kagome enough to play on their emotions."
Just then, the door opened and Sango walked in.
"I could help with that." She said with a grin.
"Right, now all we need is a plan." said Kasumi, looking from Sango to Lotion. "Anyone got any ideas?"
"Not really…" said Sango, her face contorted in concentration. "By the way, where are Miroku and Koga?"
"They're at the Cat Café; I saw them there just before I came to visit Kasumi." replied Lotion promptly.
"Great. Miroku's probably hitting on Shampoo." said Sango, grimacing.
"More likely, Shampoo's hitting him." said Lotion with a chuckle.
The three girls had just settled into quietly thinking of plans to reunite the original couples when the said people walked through the door.
"Hiya Kasumi!" said Ranma cheerfully as he closed the door behind him.
"Oh! Hello Ranma!" said Kasumi, apparently surprised at his sudden appearance.
"Hey Kasumi, is it alright if me and Kagome go camping down at the lake for the weekend?" asked Ranma, putting his arm around Kagome, who blushed.
"Sure it is." said Kasumi "Why don't you take Akane camping too, Inuyasha?" she added turning to the dog-eared boy who was standing behind her.
"Um, o-ok…I guess." He stuttered, blushing even redder than Kagome. "Do you want to go Akane?"
"Sure." replied Akane "I'll go pack my stuff." she said, running up the stairs.
"Yeah, me too." said Kagome, following her.
"Hey." Ranma said turning to Inuyasha. "Want to have a little practice match? Get some exercise?"
"Sure." Said Inuyasha and they headed for the dojo.
Once they were out of sight, Sango stood up abruptly and said a little too loudly.
"What the heck are you thinking?!"
"Shhh, I have a plan." said Kasumi.
"Well? Let's hear it then." said Lotion, grinning.
A/N: Yes, yes I know it's pathetically short, but have pity on me, I'm trying really hard to come up with an ending to this fanfic and I'm failing miserably so far. I promise the next chapter won't be as boring as this.
