Previous: Akane and Ranma ran from the others and hid in a cave. They didn't notice the creature watching them from behind.

"What are we going to do? How are we going to get home?" Akane was very worried. 'What if this rain continues all night. This would be a great problem!' she thought.

"Don't worry, this rain would stop." Ranma sat back, yawning lazily.

"Ranma! Are you just going to let us get stuck here! Do something!" Akane panicked.

"Hey, relax. Everything's going to be alright." Ranma was starting to doze off.

" But what if a ferocious animal comes out. "Akane looked at Ranma nervously.

"Relax…something like that would never happen."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

Many hours passed by and the rain continued to fall. The afternoon passed by quietly. Ranma was napping and Akane was looking out the cave. "I hope this rain would stop soon. It's getting creepy here."

Akane looked around then sighted. "Maybe Ranma's right. I should take it easy. There are no wild animals here. And if there is, I'm sure that Ranma could handle them." Akane took a deep breath. She was starting to relax when she heard a strange sound. She tried to wake Ranma up but to no avail. Ranma kept sleeping. She tried to wake him up again. At last, he opened his eyes.

"What are you doing? Can't yah see I'm sleeping?" Ranma yelled.

"Ranma, I think there's something deep inside that cave." Akane said.

"That's ridiculous. There's no one here but us."

"But I heard some strange sounds." Akane told him.

"I'm sure it's just the wi--" Ranma heard some noise. He pushed Akane aside. He took a look inside and…

"WEE!"

"Akane!"

"Ranma!"

Soun and the others are looking for Akane and Ranma. Since the chased that had happened yesterday, the two were nowhere to be found.

"Oh, my poor Akane. Were could she be?" Soun whined.

"Don't worry Tendo, we'll find them." Genma comforted him.

"Why do I have to help find those two! I don't need them! I don't even like them." Inuyasha exclaimed.

"Inuyasha be patient. After all, they did tried to help you get back the pieces of the shikon shards."

"But they didn't get any, did they?" Inuyasha said coldly.

"P-chan! Where have you been?" Akane hugged P-chan excitedly.

"Maybe, practicing his skills to beat me. Right, P-chan?" Ranma teased Ryoga/P-chan.

"Ranma, what are you talking about? You're acting like P-chan and Ryoga are the same."

With that, P-chan got nervous."

"You don't know how right you are."

"By the way, what are you doing here anyway P-chan?

"Wee! Wee!" P-chan tried explaining but Akane can't understand a thing.

"I'm sorry P-chan but I can't understand you."

"Wee! Wee!"

Akane shook her head. P-chan stood up and ran away.

"Wait! P-chan!"

"What a weirdo." Ranma rolled his eyes.

After a few minutes, Akane saw Ryoga coming.

"Akane! What are you doing here?" Ryoga asked. Pretending not to know what really happened.

"Well, it's raining very hard so we decided to stay here for a while." Akane explained.

"Oh, ok." Ryoga looked around and noticed that Ranma was looking at him very suspiciously.

"What?"

"Nothing." He answered.

Then Ryoga remembered something. "Wait here!" he commanded to Akane and Ranma.

"Wait! Ryoga!" Akane called. However, Ryoga was already too far away to hear her. After a few moments of waiting, Ryoga finally came out. Akane noticed the little boy that Ryoga was holding and the sight of the boy astonished her.
