All characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi and what not. They don't belong to me, even if you try to sue me, I have no money, so PPPPPPPPPBBBB heheheh... anyways, on with the show. I don't know why no one wanted Nabiki to get with Kuno, because that would SOOO be the obvious choice, BUUUT it's Anything Goes story telling so I give what my audience wants to read. And I think that I know where this is going!!

No Soup For You!

Nabiki opened her mouth to scream.

"Nooooooo!"

Just then, she felt some pressure on her forehead.

She opened her eyes wide. She was bent in a strange angle that caused her to fall face forward. She realized that someone was holding her up by placing a hand over her forehead. Nabiki casts her eyes down towards the floor. She saw sandals and baggy blue kendo pants. With great and utter disgust she realizes that it was Kuno holding her up. Nabiki groaned.

"I will not allow you to fall upon the lovely Akane! Who knows how heavy you are, with your weight! You might crush her." He stated matter-factly.

Nabiki's eyebrow twitched.

"Kuno sempai-" She stated evenly.

Nabiki's voice was quivering with rage. Then she brought her fist up to his chin knocking him clear out of the Nekohaten. All that remained were his smoking sandals.

Nabiki stood there a moment longer with her fist in the air.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!!!"

Akane looked on with wonder.

"Nabiki..." she said barely audible.

Her older sister had a powerful punch that was better than her own. Akane had to admit, she was a little jealous.

Nabiki took a quick look around the place before bouncing out of the door with her things.

Ranma and Ryoga were ready to start fighting again when a certain old ghoul materialized out of nowhere scaring them half to death.

"Boo!"

"Yahhhhh!!!" Both boys squealed and fell on their rumps.

"Old Ghoul!!" Ranma cried out as he rubbed his bruised buttocks.

Ryoga winced and did the same.

Akane slowly crawled out from her hiding space. She coughed and dusted the falling debris off her shoulders.

Shampoo came out from behind the wall where Nabiki was a minute ago.

Mousse moaned and touched the welt on top of his head. He slowly picked himself up from the floor.

All the teenagers grin sheepishly as Cologne eyed them evenly.

"Mousse, This is coming out of your salary!!"

The duck-boy hung his head shamefully. Ryoga sweat-dropped as Cologne turned on him next. She bopped the baka over the head repeatedly.

"And YOU young man, are going to help with the repairs on the house!!"

Ryoga threw up his arms. "WHAT?!" He cried incredously, baring his fangs.

The old woman hopped on top of his head with her cane and drove the stick into his skull.

"You heard what I said Pig-Boy!!!"

Ryoga spied Akane coming towards them and sweat-dropped.

"Eheheheheehehhh I dunno what you're talking about Cologne..."

The Amazon elder shook her head. That idiot of a pig still has yet to tell Akane about his curse. Well, he's probably afraid and with good reason. Akane was very violent and tended to beat anyone into a bloody pulp when provoked.

Cologne sighed and turned to Ranma last. The pig-tailed boy grimaced when he saw the look of doom on Cologne's face. Uh oh, I'm in for it now! Cologne shook her head at him.

"Ranma, I thought you had more common sense than to destroy other people's property!" Ranma protested. "B-But Cologne! I didn't start it!! Ryoga attacked me!! I was merely trying to avoid his attacks!!"

Cologne furrowed her brows at this.

"Be quiet son in law!! You could've stopped this anytime by disappearing outside or going somewhere other than here, but no, you stayed!!" She tsked. "Well now you have to pay the consequences of your foolishness!!"

She crossed her arms. "For wrecking my place and endangering the life of my Great-great-granddaughter as well as other innocent bystanders, you have to work here and pay off your debt to me!!"

Cologne pulled out a calculator from the folds of her gown and calculated the cost of everything and how long it would take Ranma and the other's to pay off what they owe.

"Hm... lemme see, yes yes... uh huh.. and minus that, and add .. yes.. It would take about three months for you to work here and pay off your debt!"

Ranma sniffed. Heh, so what? That was easy, working here would be a piece of cake, he'd come here after school and work until the place closed, then after that, he would go home and practice sparring with the old man. What was so hard about washing dishes or waitering?

Cologne had a huge grin on her face.

She knew what Ranma was thinking and she wasn't about to let him off that easy. She pulled a girly outfit out of nowhere and fluffed it out.

"Oh and Ranma, I want you to wear this when you're working for me!"

Ranma's eyes bulged out of his head.

It was a short frilly dress with an apron.

No way in hell would that fit him!

He shook his head and pressed his thumb in his chest. "No way old ghoul, that thing wouldn't fit me! I'm too manly for that anyways!!"

Cologne laughed evilly. "I didn't say that I wanted you to come here as a man did I?"

Ranma gulped. Uh oh, he saw where this was going. Somehow, the collar around his neck seemed to be getting tighter. He pulled at it sweating.

"Eh... Cologne, I eh hope you're not suggesting what I think you're suggesting..."

He gave her a weak smile. Cologne placed her hands on her invisible hips.

"Hohoho son in law! You didn't think I'd let you off that easy did you?!"

Ranma face-faulted, which wasn't that hard because he was already sitting on the floor.

Ryoga laughed and pointed at him. "Haw haw!"

Cologne danced on her stick. "Hohohohhoh.... This will be a real treat!! Two strapping young teens working here!! Business will be booming!!"

Akane shook her head. "Um, what was that statement about pig-boy earlier?"

Was someone talking about her pet P-chan? She didn't see him anywhere and was actually starting to worry about the little black pig.

Everyone in the restaurant except for Ryoga rolled their eyes.
