" I want a black jacket with no rings...YOU HEAR ME! No one refuses Tatewaki
Kuno. Your best quality leather black jacket. Our Ranma must look our best at the
concert coming up. Don't you agree Ranma?"
"Kuno, look I don't care." Ranma replied with his attention to his blue dust lavender
bottle. "Akane..........I'm home."
_________________________
"Hey Akane, wait up. I got something exciting to tell you."
"Oh hi Akari, what's the rush."Akane said parking her silver bike. She grab the pot of
lavender flowers and started walking towards her. "So what's exciting?"
"I....I can't believe it! Ranma is going to perform here at Nerima. Isn't that exciting!"
Akari squealed. "Of all the places, he chose here. He's so cute."
"Oh...that's it." Akane said blankly. "I thought Ryoga got a girlfriend or something."
"Oh Akane, what's the matter with you. Who knows, this Ranma performing may be
the same Ranma that made that promise to you 7 years ago." Akari joked.
"Like that'll happen." Akane giggled.
"Morning Akane." Ryoga waved at her. "Need some help with the flowers."
"No thanks." Akane replied walking.
"Ohhhhhhh say good morning to her and not me huh." Akari tried to frown but you
could see the smile in her eyes.
"A-hem, let me say this again." Ryoga cleared his throat. "Morning two beautiful
goddessess."
"That's much better." Akari said proudly.
"Hahahaha." Akane giggled. She almost tripped over the root on the road. Fortunately
Ryoga caught her. " Told you so."
"Thank you but shouldn't the boss be managing the greenhouse. Akane picked up the
pot again.
"Yeah Ryoga, you should go ahead, we'll catch up."Akari said slightly pushing Ryoga
on his way.
"Oh alright, I'll go. Bye " most beautiful and talented ladies." Be careful Akane." Ryoga
waved and hopped on his scooter and drove off.
"See you later boss." Akane and Akari said and giggled.

Bookstore............Kasumi's workplace
"Hey that guy's here again" said cashier #1.
"Probably buying a book for Kasumi again." whisper cashier #2. "She's so lucky to
have such a cute guy after her. I wish her good luck."
"Now girls there's nothing like that." Kasumi said behind them.
"KYAAAAA! Kasumi you s-scared us." the girls squealed. Kasumi smiled.
"Sorry."
"Here he comes" giggled cashier #1.
"I would like to buy this book please." he said to Kasumi. Kasumi looked at the title.
"Tonight I would like to take you out on a date" Kasumi looked up from the book.
"Would you?" he asked.
"Go go Kasumi." whisper cashier #2.
"Don't miss your chance" whisper cashier #1.
"Um.....oh my, this is so sudden." Kasumi said looking flustered. " Okay I guess."
"Meet you outside then." he said taking her hand and kissed it. Kasumi blushed.
"Ooooo! He kissed you." the cashiers squealed. Kasumi blushed even redder.
"Go now. We'll cover for you just tell us about the experience." the cashiers said in
unison.
"Thanks." Kasumi replied taking off her apron. She grabbed her stuff and went off.
"Lucky Kasumi." cashier #1 said.
"Hello, sorry to keep you waiting." Kasumi said brushing aside her dark brown hair.
"This is for you." he said handing her the book he just bought.
"Thank you."
"Oh yeah, I need to introduce myself, the name is Ono, (I don't know his first name)
Tofu Ono. Just call me Tofu." Tofu chuckled.
"Tofu.....my name is Tendo, Kasumi Tendo, but I prefer to be called by my first name."
"So where do you want to go Kasumi?" Tofu asked handing her a helmet.
"Your choice." Kasumi replied putting the helmet on. She was slightly surprised on
how perfect it fitted her. She hopped on Tofu's motorcycle and they zoomed off.

"Hey Kuno, I'm gonna go out for a while." Ranma said grabbing his cell phone and
the blue dust lavender bottle.
"H-Hey wait where are you going?" Kuno said covering his cell phone but Ranma
was already out of his sight. Ranma walked past stores and saw poster's cover the
windows.
'All about me' he thought. He walked into a tea shop. "Do you sell lavender tea?" he
asked the shopkeeper.
"Just a sec." shopkeeper said picked up a bag. Here you go $4.99.
"Thanks." Ranma replied. He pulled out his wallet, paid and left.
Flashback.................
"Ranma come here" woman's voice said.
"Coming Mom." Ranma said running towards her.
"Ranma, your mother made some lavender tea." male's voice said.
"Yum Mom, Dad don't you agree that Mom makes the best lavender tea?" Ranma
said sipping more tea. Everyone chuckled.
End of Flashback..............
"Hmph." Ranma slightly smiled. As he headed towards the open meadow for a seanery.

"Ryoga, I've got to leave early because Dad's coming home early tonight and it's our
anniversary." Akane said putting on her jacket and taking off her bandana.
"Okay but you got to come early tomorrow." Ryoga said. "Do you need a ride?"
"No thanks, I'll ride my bike." Akane replied kicking up her bike's stand. "Bye Akari."
"See you tomorrow." Akari said without looking up because she was snipping flowers.
Riding along the meadow, Akane pulled out her pink dust lavender bottle. 'Are you
back Ranma' she thought, 'in two weeks it's my twentith birthday', not knowing that
the boy she just passed was the Ranma she was thinking about. Ranma turned around
but continued walking.

Tonight.........................Grave
"My darling wife, we all miss you so much." Soun said with tears flowing freely down his
face. Kasumi handed him a tissue. "Our daughters become more and more like you every
day." He stick the incense in the alter.
"Mother, I hope you rest in peace and you're doing fine. Akane and I are doing well now
and I hope you don't need to worry." Kasumi stick her incense in the alter.
"Mom, though I never have seen you, Dad said I look more like you everyday. I miss
you." Akane placed her incense down.
"My dear wife I'm so sorry that Kasumi and Akane inherited your disease. I- I" Soun
broke down in tears.
"Father.........."Kasumi trailed.
"Dad............." Akane trailed, too.
Soun's Flashback........................
"I'm so sorry that one day Kasumi, Nabiki and Akane will one day end up like me here
saying my last words."
"Never! You can't die! I love you so much!" Soun cried grabbing her hospital blanket.
"I love you too................"She died.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Soun cried as Akane three years old with four years old
Nabiki standing near their mother's bed crying. Kasumi went to comfort Soun.
Back home...................................
"Why must you all inherit you mother's genetic heart disease. Why must heaven be so
cruel." Soun wailed.
One day..........Nabiki's race........
"Pulse dropping. Give patient a heart massage." Doctor #1 yelled.
Breap-breap-breap
"I'm sorry, the patient won't live to see tomorrow. We tried." the doctor said.
"N-no, t-this can't be! I can't lose one. Nabiki!" Soun cried as he ran into the room.
"Father, Pop, sorry.........." Nabiki whispered. She coughed.
"Sis........."Kasumi and Akane said.
"Why did you run! You know that you can't run so why?" Soun asked with tears
flowing uncontrolibily.
"I-I can't help it. It's in my blood. I love running. It was a grand race........"Nabiki
whispered even more softly. "I'll miss you all..................."
"Sis!"
"Nabiki!, no, no........Nabiki wake up!" Soun cried shaking her. Nabiki's eyes stayed
shut. Her hands fell lifelessly down soun's grasp. "NABIKI!" He choked.
"Father.....*sob* sis, sis got her dream come true." Kasumi said grabbing her father's
shirt.
"Came true......?" Soun looked at Kasumi.
"Yes, Nabiki always wanted to run to first place and she did. Look how peaceful she
looks as if she's just sleeping." Kasumi said with her tears flowing.
"Sis....." Akane said with her tears flowing, too.
"Good bye Nabiki." Soun said touching her cold face. Nabiki lay there looking peaceful.
End of Flashback....................
"My dear wife, I will protect Kasumi and Akane at all cost so they will live a happy life.
Soun sweared. He looked at Nabiki's grave. "We all miss you dear daughter."
"Yes." Kasumi and Akane said as they placed their incense down to Nabiki's alter,too.
They left.
