A.N. ::tries to evade all those mallets flying towards her:: WAAAAAHH!!! X_X;; I'm sorry I'm sorry!!! But but…I'm so busy these days! But, ne! I'm trying, honest!! x.X;;; This chapter may be kinda short…or it may not be…whichever…¬¬;;;
Disclaimers: If Rumiko Takahashi were my sister, I'd bribe her for the rights…::sweatdrops::

"WATCH OUT!!!!" Ranma cried as he quickly pulled Akane away from the bottom of the stairs.
"Aahh!" Akane yelped, feeling herself being flung back.
The ceiling creaked as it slowly made a cracking noise. Right after that, something came smashing through up from the ceiling right where Akane was originally standing. Ranma and Akane grimaced, as they waved their hands in front of their faces and coughed out the dust that collected in the air from that unwelcome entrance. Be that as it may, the presence was standing perfectly quiet and waited until the dust cleared. When it did, it showed the damp from the rain foolhardy ninja from the filthy-rich-yet-can't-take-their-clues-for-their-lives Kunou family.
"Sa-sasuke!" Akane uttered in surprise.
"Oi…what the hell was that for, you freak?!" Ranma bellowed as he stood in front of Akane, protectively.
Sasuke glared at Ranma with as much ferocity as he could…which wasn't much, so to speak…
"You have some nerve talking to me in that tone!" he shouted indignantly.
Ranma twitched.
"After all, it's not everyday that I get to honor your acquaintance with my presence!"
Ranma twitched again.
"I have to let you know—"
Akane conveniently dropkicked on his head, fuming furiously. If it had not been her, Ranma would have punted him to Jupiter by now.
"Shut up and tell us what the hell you're doing here, already!" Akane growled, growing impatient.
Ranma looked at Akane, slightly appalled by her sudden behavior. Sasuke had swirlies for eyes as he quietly groaned in his moments of unconsciousness. Ranma bent down to inspect him and he nodded.
"Yup…I think you killed the nut, Akane…"
"Oh…shut up…" Akane replied in weariness as she sweatdropped.
"Well…" Ranma began, as he hauled the knocked-out ninja over his shoulders, "I'm gonna dump him in the nearest junkyard…"
Akane glared at him.
"Alright, alright! I'll take him back to the mansion!"
For a moment, Akane looked like she had second thoughts.
"You know what, Ranma? I'll take him home…"
"Huh? But…uh…why..?"
Akane shrugged,
"It's raining outside, dummy…I'm afraid you might catch a cold or something…plus…you just changed back into a guy!"
"But…"
"I'll take him,"
Ranma stared at her quietly, seemingly considering the option.
"Well…"
Akane walked up to him and grabbed Sasuke in her arms from Ranma without another word.
"…Okay…"
"Yeah…" Akane replied as she went to put on her rain boots.
"…Akane?"
Hearing her name, she turned around,
"Yes, Ranma?"
Ranma looked at her with an expression she couldn't decipher.
"Promise me…"
Akane blinked and completely turned around to face him.
Ranma lightly blushed as he averted his gaze from her,
"Promise me that you'll come back safely…" Ranma mumbled.
Akane's eyes widened for a moment as she blinked. She then smiled wanly at him and nodded.
"Yakusoku da yo, Ranma…"
She heaved Sasuke over her shoulders so he was piggy riding her. She sighed and grabbed the umbrella while making her way out of the Tendou dojo gate walls.
Ranma slid the door close with a sigh and headed upstairs to dry himself up.
He stepped over pass the debris on the floor…

"O-HOHOHOHOHOHO!!! Brother dear? Where are you?" Kodachi sang out.
She flounced around the mansion looking for Kunou, for she realized that her servant, Sasuke, went missing. She wanted him to help her to…"compensate"…for certain things.
"What is it, dear sister? Wherefore art thou?" Kunou mumbled, lacking his usual mirth.
"Where is Sasuke?" Kodachi asked, as she went through her closet full of somewhat flamboyant array of clothes.
"I have sent him out on a mission for me…why thou ask?"
"Due to certain contingencies, brother dear, I may have to go out myself," Kodachi said, circumventing Kunou's inquiry.
Kunou felt his sister scheming up a plan in her twisted mind yet again. He frowned as she went to walk out the door with her coat around her.
"Halt," he commanded.
"What may be the matter?" she asked while putting on her slippers.
"Whatever thou may be plan—"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside. It rang in Kunou's ears like the birds and the trees and the butterflies even through the pitter-patter of rain, as he smiled a mile a minute. In Kodachi, however, she heard bullfrogs and crows and ugly ugly walruses, as she contorted her face in disgust.
"Hello…? Ano…is anyone home…?"
"Ah!! My fair Akane Tendou! How may I be of your assistance?"
"Th-tha-that wench! What is she doing here?!" Kodachi cried.
