The little man that lives behind my eyes says only Aranel is mine and that
I don't own Ranma. It makes me upset. I hope that his house floods next
time I start crying.

Akane stood before the stove with a pan in her hand. The simple meal she was trying to prepare was already smoking in protest. A growl of anger was rumbling in her chest and she could feel herself vibrating from it.
The youngest daughter of the Tendo dojo was startled out of her anger when the pan was ripped from her hands. "What'd you do that for, Ranma?"
"You're angry," Aranel said as if that was reason enough.
"With good reason!" the blue haired girl fumed. She held up a small black pig with a bandaid covering his back. The pig growled at Aranel, clearly thinking that she was Ranma. "Why are you always picking on P- Chan?"
Aranel stared in shock. How could Ranma hurt something so cute? "I'm really sorry Akane. I don't know why I did that. Let me make it up to you." Before Akane could protest, Aranel had taken the pig from her. The pig protested loadly. "I'll give him a bath and clean out his cut for you and everything."
The pig whimpered and Akane looked doubtful, but after another moment of heartfelt pleas, Akane caved. Happily Aranel skipped off with P-Chan in her arms. Once the bathroom door was shut and the red head was sure no one was listening in, Aranel lifted the pig and said, "I don't know why Ranma hates you so much. I think you're cute." P-Chan stared, wide eyed.
The little black pig that had kicked and screamed and bit her only moments ago now sat still when he was set down. It's small form was rigid as it watched Aranel's face as she filled the tub and undressed herself. It's eyes never left Aranel's as she went about. However, when the busty redhead lowered herself into the steamy water and remained female, the pig fought when she tried to pick him up.
With cute tiny hooves, P-chan held on to the towel rack, but hooves are not meant for gripping and the little pig was in Aranel's grasp. "Calm down little guy. I don't know what that mean ol' Ranma did to you, but I won't hurt you." Cradling the pig to her chest, the clone peeled back the bandaid to look at the cut. "Oh you poor baby!" she cooed. "Let's get you cleaned up and then we'll see to getting you a treat." Moving to the steps, Aranel lowered the cute pig into the hot shallow water.
In an instant, Aranel was back in the deeper water, her chest pressed to the tub wall, her eyes wide in shock and horror.
"Who are you?" the teenage boy who sat where P-chan had once been asked.
"Aranel," she choked out. "I'm Ranma's twin sister. You must be Ryoga. Ranma told me about you."
Ryoga frowed at the back of the girl that looked like Ranma. "I didn't know Ranma had a twin."
"He does," she snapped, her eyes staring blankly at the wall across from her, her back to Ryoga. "I'm just not supposed to be here."
The lost boy moved over to the clone, who closed her eyes the moment she saw movement. "If you knew about me, why were you so surprized?"
Aranel gulpped. "There's a lot of stuff going on in Ranma's life. Juggle three fiancees, fight off suitor of said fiancees, deal with Kuno, stay a boy, keep me hiden in the closet. There's not a lot of time for him to tell me important things like Akane mistaking you for her pet pig on a regular basis."
"Or that I am P-chan and she doesn't know."
"Nope. He didn't tell me that either."
Ryoga smiled hopefully at her. "You won't tell anyone about me, will you?"
With a smile of her own, Aranel opened her eyes, but didn't look at the naked boy next to her. "Only if you never tell anyone about me."
"Deal!" Ryoga snached the clone's hand and shook it.
There was an akward silence as the two sat in the water. Aranel remained pressed to the wall, Ryoga beside her, turned toward her. "You gonna even look at me?"
"No offence, I'm sure you're a great guy, but you're not who I had in mind for the first guy I ever see naked."
The lost boy's face turned red. "Oh." moving back to the stairs, Ryoga got out. In a moment he returned in swimming trunks and handed one of Akane's swim suits to Aranel.
After getting Ryoga to turn around, the clone moved away from the wall enough to put it on. "You can look now."
"So...why didn't Ranma ever tell anyone he had a sister?"
The clone paled. "He...well, that is to say...he doesn't have one. Other then the docters, only you and Ranma have seen me and known it was me you were looking at. I'm a clone."
Ryoga stared a moment before laughing. "That's a good one. You almost had me beliving you. A clone! No, really. Why didn't Ranma tell anyone?"
"A boy that turns into a pig doesn't belive in clones. That's rich. Look, I am two weeks old. I woke up in a lab and when the docters didn't know where to hide me, they put me on the streets hoping I'd get hit by a car or something. Akane thought I was Ranma and took me in the house. After Ranma figured out what happened, he made a deal with me. I pretend to be his female form and in return, when his curse is gone he introduces me as his twin sister and sets me up on a date with any guy I pick. Ever since then, I've been distracting Kuno so Ranma can run off with Akane and I sleep in the closet at night." She took Ryoga's shoulders in her hands and shook. "It's the opposite of what you do with P-chan. You pretend that one body is two, Ranma and I pretend that two bodies are one."
"That's horible!"
"Tell me about it. Even though I'm living in the closet, Ranma still throws his stuff in there."
Ryoga shook his head. "You and I can keep each other's secrets, how about we also help each other out?"
"What'd you have in mind?"
"I'll help you get -"
"Mousse."
Ryoga frowned. "Of all the guys in town you pick Mousse?" Aranel nodded, her face matching her hair. "Ok. If I help you get Mousse, then you have to help me-"

Not so far away, Ranma felt a cold shiver run down his spine. He turned to Nabaki who sat reading a fasion magizine on the other side of the room. "Ever get that feeling like people are plotting agansit you?"
Nabaki rolled her eyes. "In this town? All the time!"
Though still unsettled, Ranma returned to his solo training, not knowing what evil plans the lost boy and the clone were coming up with. Nabaki read her magizine without worry for little did anyone know, she had made 1,000,000 yen off of Kuno only three hours ago by selling him pictures of Akane and Ranma's female form.

Ranma/Akane: 10 Ranma/Shampoo: 7 Ranma/Kasumi: 7 Ranma/Nabaki: 4 Ranma/Ukyo: 1 Mouse in general: 1 Nabaki in general: 1 Mousse/Clone: 11 Ryu/Clone: 1 Pantyhose Tarou/Clone: 1 Nabaki/Pantyhose-Tarou: 1 Pantyhose Tarou/Shampoo: 1 Ryoga in general: 1 Ryoga/Akira: 1 Ryoga/Shampoo: 1
Once Chapter six is posted, all votes about Ranma and Aranel will be left out [but if you send them in anyway, I'm keeping a record of all votes]. Without Ranma and his clone on the board, there are so many ties on the few other sugjested couples that other votes will be taken in.
Cheese: Next chapter, after votes for Aranel are finished, I will do a nice romance bit. And since you are the third to ask for Pantyhose Tarou, I will add him into later chapters. I admit, I like him too. My first Ranma VHS was The Demon from Jusenkyo so I really have a soft spot for him.
Cork, ranma and kasumi forever, krillin, and Anti KoTF: You all said the same thing [mostly. the placing of words changed], I thought I'd thank you all at once. Though I would have liked a review that was more then voting for those two couples, I have no way of knowing that you aren't the same person so I must respect your votes like any other vote, besides, a vote perchapter is still counted. And I wish to know what 'KoTF' is and why you are agensit it.
Shodei: It just so happens I was planning on putting him in this chapter anyway. I'm just a sucker for P-Chan... Please keep reading
High King Isaac: Thanks for the vote. Shampoo's still behind in the ranks so far, but let's just say that it's close right now. Kasumi and Akane are tied, true, but Shampoo is right behind them.
Denial Kitten: Thank you for sitting still and putting up with me doing the voices of the characters. Not many friends would let someone read five chapters out over the phone. You're the best co-author ever [also, I owe you one for pointing out why Akane burns everything she cooks. Only you could connect Ranma to THAT movie]. I'm glad you gave me what your votes were as well. See you Monday mellon.
Conditioner: Fear not. If there are not enough votes to put Shampoo with anyone, I plan on writing a squeal/crossover. I have a plan, but I shall only write if she's not with anyone in this. I like her 'cause her hair is purple and purple is my favorite color.
Kiki the ferret: I love your name! There's a ferret in one of my favorite comics that is named Kiki. Anyway, I do know and we'll see.
Miguel_Angel_Guzmán_Rivera: Email votes are welcome. Thank you for your effort.
johnanon: Ok, I know it doesn't sound Japanese. It's elvish. And I would love to have a Japanese name. I am one of nine Jennifers in my grade. There are two in the grade above and fifteen in the two grades below. I have taken on a boys name as my nick name in order to stop the confusion. But, to be honest my original plan was to name the clone Maki which is a Japanese name that means 'Truly Rare,' I thought it would be ironic. As for Ranma using Aranel to help him with his problems, I know it's not very manly. I don't have the highest oppion of him since he strings along three girls, never picking one, and flashs any male vival in hopes of distracting them. Also, Ranma doesn't fully see Aranel as a person. He is so busy with his own life it hasn't dawned on him yet that she has thoughts and feelings that are not his own. To him, she's just a clone. He won't stop using her until he understands that she is more then just his DNA
angelii: I think they are cute couples too. I hope you liked this update and review again
