Ran elbowed Aoko in the side. "Well, sure, but how about—"

She broke off. A girl in an unfamiliar sailor uniform stood before her, smiling politely.

"Excuse me, Mouri-san," the girl bowed slightly, "but would you mind if I borrowed Nakamori-san for a minute?"

Beside Ran, Aoko peered suspiciously at the girl before something—recognition, or perhaps annoyance—flashed across her face.

"I'll be right back, Ran." Ran nodded absently as Aoko pulled the girl away, an angry hiss—"what are you doing here?!"—reaching her ears.

She was scanning a rack of blouses when a noise caught her attention.

The strange girl and Aoko were locked in a passionate kiss.

Ran blinked, then watched as the girl headed towards the exit.

"Ran?" Aoko was blushing fiercely. She turned to see what Ran was looking at, and the blush deepened. "Oh, that was just Kaito. I keep telling him not to do that, but I think he finds it funny."

Ran glanced at Aoko out of the corner of her eye before turning back to Kaito's disappearing figure. A smirk crept onto her face and settled there. "Well, at least he has a nice ass."

Aoko sputtered. "You keep your paws off my boyfriend!"

"Are you sure it shouldn't be "girlfriend?""

Author's notes: Kaito sort of reminds me of Ranma—"what? I'm a girl right now? So what?"
