Last Time

Akane smiles and nodes saying, "Sure, good night sis... man it's going to take me sometime to get used to calling you my sister."

Diane laughed and said, "I know the feeling."

Akane smiled and left her room and turned off her light as she walked out. She then walked down stares and told Kasumi so Kasumi decided to make less because of this.

Everyone did their normal routine until they all went to bed and fell asleep.

Now

The next day Diane woke up earlier then she usually does and decides to go down stares to see how Kasumi was doing. She pulled the covers off of her and sits up and grabs her crutches. She stands up and walks down the stares and sits down at an empty table and says, "Hi Kasumi. How are you doing today sis?"

Kasumi was startled and then sees Diane and smiles warmly and says, "I'm doing fine, but are you okay? Are you sure that you should be walking as much as you are with that fracture foot."

Diane smiles back and says, "I'm sure... Hey I heard from Akane the other day that you like Dr.Tofu. Is that true?"

Kasumi blushes and nods saying, "Yeah but he doesn't seam interested."

Diane thinks about it and says, "Then why don't you ask him out. I'm sure he will say yes. Plus maybe that would make him less shy."

Kasumi thinks about it some and says, "Okay, the day you have to get your foot checked again I'll come with you."

Diane shakes her head and says, "Why not today. I'm going to Dr.Tofu's because I need to see if he can do check ups like a Cardiologist does."

Kasumi smiles and says, "Sure, but why do need know if he can do that?"

Diane lifts up her shirt a bit and shows Kasumi a scar going up her chest and says, "I had heart surgery when I was very young, I need a Cardiologist out here."

Kasumi puts her hand on her mouth and says, "Do you get chest pains Diane?"

Diane smiles and shakes her head saying, "No, I just need a cheek up once a year."

Kasumi looks less worried and says, "Does that scar mean you have restrictions to certain things?"

Diane nods and says, "Yeah. That's why I like martial Arts, schools usually don't have a team, so I can always practice with out worrying that someone might screw up and hit me too hard in the chest."

Kasumi smiles after hearing that Diane doesn't let it bring her down and says, "Well that's good to hear... could you tell the others that breakfast is ready now." She then goes back to the food and starts setting up the table.

Diane smiled and walks over to the stares on her crutches and says, "Ranma, Akane, Nabiki! Breakfast is ready!" She then gets to her place at the table to eat knowing that after that yell everyone heard her.

But something was different today, once she sat down she felt something rub her butt and looks down to see an old man and says, "You need some help there old timer?" In an angry voice.

Ranma comes down first and sees the old man and says, "Happosai, what are you doing here? And where were you lately?"

Happosai looks up to Ranma and says, "Oh Hi Ranma. How nice to see you."

Diane decided that now that he knew his name, that now would be the best time to show the old man to not do that again.

Diane looks down at Happosai and grabs him by the head brings him to her eye level and says, "So this is Happosai...You bastard! I'm going to make sure you wish old age had came and ended your life once I'm done with you!"

Happosai was now worried, some how he could tell that this girl was not going to hold back.

Diane got up standing on her good leg and throws Happosai in the air then stretches her arm out and aims the palm of her hand at the now air born Happosai and says, "You thought everyone here was bad, well now you have met someone even worse...Energy Wave!"

A blue beam of energy came straight from her hand and hit Happosai sending him right through the roof, and about half way across the Pacific Ocean. Diane then ends her attack, which causes Happosai to fall straight down in the middle of the Ocean in a complete stun.

Diane then sits down while everyone just stairs at her. Soun and Genma both look at each other and then look back to Diane and say, "Yes! We have finally got rid of him! Thank you so much Diane!"

Diane sticks out her tongue while smiling and then says, "It was nothing dad, Mr. Saotome."

Soun almost forgot that he adopted her until he looked at Kasumi, which for some reason reminded him and says, "Now that's my girl."

Diane falls down anime style while Kasumi smiles and say, "To tell you the truth Diane, that whole adoption idea was mine."

Nabiki stairs and her sister and says, "Sense when did you want credit?"

Kasumi sticks out her tongue smiling like Diane and says, "Who ever said I never wanted credit? I do like to get credit when I am the person who did the thing being credited for."

Akane smiled at the scene while Ranma, Soun, Genma and Nabiki start pinching them selves to make sure they are not dreaming.

After breakfast Diane and Kasumi went over to Dr.Tofu's. Kasumi makes sure that Diane doesn't trip on the way there. Diane just smiled every time she saw Kasumi kick a rock away just to make sure that she didn't trip.

At Tofu's

After Diane asked Dr.Tofu what she wanted Kasumi started to think again about being the one to ask Tofu out, instead of him asking her out.

Dr.Tofu surprising didn't make anything worse for Diane while Kasumi was there, which made her feel better about it.

"I'm glad you asked Diane, I was about to be denied the machines I was going to need for such things. But now that I have enough patients I am allowed to order it." Tofu tells Diane while she showed him her scar. The scar was faint because it was almost healed all of the way, but Tofu was still able to see it.

Diane smiles and says, "Glad that I can help. Oh and about being a help, I noticed that you were short handed here; you know as in, you really need some help here. So I was wondering if I could get a job here, if you want I can help you when ever you have female patients who feel more comfortable with a woman around, and I can also help by taking the calls."

Dr.Tofu thinks about it and says, "Sure. I already know that you really don't have any references besides Kasumi, Ranma and the others, so you don't need to fill out an application ok."

Diane smiles and says, "Thanks. I really need something to do until the new school year starts."

Kasumi smiles and then decided to walk up to Dr.Tofu and says, "Dr. I have something I want to ask you."

Tofu looks at her and says, "I have something I want to ask you too, but you go first."

Kasumi blushes and says, "No, I couldn't do that, you ask first."

Tofu smiles and then says, "Kasumi, would you go out with me?"

Kasumi's eyes widen and then she smiles and nods. She then giggles and says, "You know, I was going to ask you the same thing?"

Tofu blushes and says, "You were wow... I'm flattered Kasumi."

Diane starts clapping getting both of them to blush and says, "Now that was something you usually see on American TV. You know, it is better to see it in real life. And I'm happy for both of you. From what I heard it was going to take forever for Tofu to ask..."

Kasumi blushes and says, "Hehehe, that's enough Diane, you are going to make me blush even more if you continued."

Diane smiles and says, "Okay, we all got what we wanted, can you help me home now Kasumi?"

Kasumi nods but then Tofu says, "Hey Kasumi, why don't I come by later to help you, after all your only help is injured now."

Kasumi smiles and says, "Sure I'd love that Dr. I'll see you later."

Diane smiles and hugs Kasumi while they are leaving saying, "I'm really happy for you sis, now you finally have Tofu all to your self, well at least you know it will be harder for him to get rid of you."

Kasumi smiles and says, "You said that as if this was a movie."

Diane sticks out her tongue and smiles and says, "So?"

Kasumi laughs as she brings Diane home and then helps Diane rest on a couch in the living room.

Dr.Tofu comes over shortly after and helps Kasumi all over. Ranma, Akane, and Nabiki are in school. Soun and Genma are still playing their game from two days ago. And Diane is reading a book titled "Teaching one how to cook for dummies". When she first picked up the book she couldn't stop laughing that the picture on the book looked like if the writer knew how nasty Akane's cooking was. Because it had a picture of a girl somehow finding a way to put pasta in a pot full of water on fire. The cover noted that no oil was in the pot at the time.

Diane also read some of the books that she brought with her. Mostly Wrestler autobiographies, so it caught the eye of Tofu so he says, "Hey Diane. When did you become interested in pro wrestling? I thought girls don't like that stuff."

Diane laughed and said, "You know how Ranma has the curse of spring of drowned girl, well so do I. I just stayed as a girl now for almost a week now, basically so I can get use to it plus..."

"She is beginning to have a crush for Tatewaki Kuno. You see in her female form, she is 100 woman, and in her normal male form she is 100 man." Kasumi interrupted causing Diane to blush.

Tofu laughed at her blush and said, "Well that does explain why he started to ask me what should he read in order to act better around girls."

Diane saw surprised and said, "You mean he read how to act around girls from a book? Ooooo when I get my hands on him I'll make sure he is the last of the Kuno name."

Kasumi smiled and said, "I'm sure he wasn't trying to fool you Diane, he seams different with you, it's like he meant what he told you, when he said he will change."

Diane became less angry and said, "Still, now I'm going to now make sure that he wont be getting any more of those books...Dr.Tofu do you think the next time he asks you what book he should read, could you tell him that I said he isn't allowed to ask for help from a book." She said this with an evil smile.

Dr.Tofu just smiled and said, "Sure. Maybe he will return mine."

Kasumi suddenly became a bit angry and said, "Did you finally get the courage to ask me out from that book?"

Dr.Tofu shook his head and said, "No. The book just basically told me the worst things I could do around a woman."

Kasumi calmed down and said, "Oh, well I'm sorry for getting angry."

Diane smiles and says, "It's a good thing the get angry Kasumi, it is healthy to become angry every now and then. Just don't get angry as much as Akane did before I came here."

Kasumi smiled and thanked her as she decided to read a book as well. She saw a name of some one she remembered hearing about and says, "Hey Diane, can I borrow this one for a while, you know, until I'm done with it."

Diane looks at it and sees it's one that she already read and says, "Sure. Oh and it only goes up to Wrestlemania 17. That means it came out in 2001 just to let you know."

Kasumi nodded and said, "Thanks."

Dr.Tofu found one of his favorites from when he was a kid and asks Diane the same thing Kasumi asked.

Diane sees it and smiles and says, "I guess Hulkamania has reached Japan ha?"

Dr.Tofu only smiles and nods as a response.

Diane smiles and says, "Sure, you can borrow it."

Dr.Tofu thanks her and starts to read his book as he sat next to Kasumi on a two-seater couch. Kasumi was reading hers while Tofu read his. Diane was reading a new one she got and was surprised to see what was in it.

They continued to read for the rest of the day, just relaxing, even Ranma, Nabiki, and Akane read one of the books that Diane had. It looks like a library convention. They even had ordered out for dinner because of how much they all got into the books.

I don't own the names of Wrestlemania 17 or Hulkamania. Wrestlemania is owned by Vince McMahon while Hulkamania is owned by Hulk Hogan. I hope you liked the story. I know I have enjoyed righting it.

Dane17 : Thanks. I like being original. I'm not sure what smitten means but if you cheked chapter 2 you would see I had Tatewaki say he found out that Ranma has a curse from Moouse. I basically said it so I wouldn't have to do too much with Ranma in girl form. Oh and thanks of the info about the Japanese school year, I might change the dates, but then again, knowing me I wouldn't.

To let eveyone know, I might not respond to your reviews in my chapters, just telling you all this if you find out I forgot to mention you in a chapter, hell this could even be the only time I will do this. I won't know untill later.
