Ranma had woken up the next not in a room he recognized, but someone else's. He rubbed his eyes and looked out the window to see a beautiful seascape and a large city. The events from last night rushed his sleep fogged mind and he smiled warmly at the impromptu meeting with Raven and how much easier things were going to be from now on. He groggily walked out in nothing but his boxers and shirt while not caring to notice he had instinctually woken up with the rising sun so that just about no one would be awake. He yawned very loudly and made his way around a Tower he didn't know. So, he pulled a Ryoga and got lost in the humongous tower. Sighing, he climbed at least every single stair case there was and walked through every single corridor until he pushed open what seemed like the hundredth door and stumbled into Raven. Raven took one, very appreciative glance at Ranma and said,

"Nice getup there Ranchan."

He looked sheepishly at the girl and said,

"Well I was plannin' on getting dressed, just as soon as I found somethin' ta eat."

Raven giggled and said,

"Yup, same old Ranma. Always thinking with your stomach."

"Har Har, it's just so funny."

They both made their way to breakfast, all undergarments forgotten and made small talk as Raven led him through the maze like tower. When they reached the rest of the gang, Ranma was treated to wolf whistles and cat calls from the other three guys. Cyborg said,

"Nice shorts there Ranma!"

Beast Boy called out,

"Way to go Raven! I didn't think you had it in you."

Beast Boy basked in what he thought was clever. Raven didn't agree with Beast Boy's point of view and voiced her opinion by throwing the couch at him. Robin sensed danger if he said anything to provoke Raven and quickly said,

"So Um, Ranma! Throw some pants on and we'll go have a sparring match!"

Ranma visibly brightened and pulled a pair of pants out of nowhere and quickly threw them on. He said,

"Great! I haven't had a good sparring partner in a while. I've been wuppin Pop's but for so long I think I might be gettin' rusty."

Both Ranma and Robin left leaving a twitching Beast Boy, a puzzled Cyborg and two girls going about their business. Back in Nerima, the same thing was happening, though in a very different manner.

Nabiki had called all of her contacts at the airport and made it so they were going to leave for a place called 'Jump City' in the America's. Knowing that if Ranma went there, he probably had friends so they were probably going to be spending quite a long time there. Kasumi had come into her sister's room when she spotted the Jump City brochure. Kasumi smiled sweetly and said,

"Ranma's in Jump City then?"

Nabiki nodded and said,

"Yeah, had to pull a few strings but I found out he headed there."

Kasumi looked over to her sister and said,

"Oh, you could have just asked me Nabiki, he told me he was going to visit Robin and the Teen Titans."

Nabiki's face faulted and she said,

"Ranma told you where he was going but failed to mention it to anyone else?"

Kasumi nodded and said,

"Yes. I caught him packing and asked where he was going. He told me to keep it a secret and not tell anyone else which doesn't matter now since you know."

Nabiki knew full well that no one could lie to her sister, not even her. Seeing how Ranma had told her didn't come as a surprise, but what was surprising was what Ranma had also told her sister.

"Did you say Robin and the Titans Kasumi?"

"Yes, Ranma said he knew Robin from an old training trip. What he didn't realize though is that Raven is on the Titans as well."

Nabiki quirked an eyebrow and said,

"Why would that matter sis?"

"Because, he says her name a lot in his sleep and mentioned her a few times when I talked to him about the people he met on the road that were his friends."

Nabiki said,

"But why would it matter? It's just another of his old training buddies, right?"

Kasumi giggled and said,

"Well sis, you didn't hear what he said about her in his sleep"

Nabiki's interest was quirked and she said,

"What did he say?"

Kasumi held out a hand and said,

"Fifty thousand yen."

Nabiki stared at her sister in shock at the role reversal and the steep price. She groaned and Kasumi said,

"What? Dinner doesn't pay for itself you know."

Nabiki grudgingly pulled out a huge wad of bills and handed it over to her sister. Kasumi looked back at the door, shut it and said very quietly,

"I'm only gonna tell you one thing, and one thing only, so pay attention."

Kasumi leaned down and whispered into her sisters ear and halfway through, Nabiki pulled a Kasumi and said,

"Oh my."

Ranma and Robin were outside outside training while Cyborg and Beast Boy were sending questioning looks in Raven's direction. Ever since Ranma had left with Robin she had resumed her air of secrecy and was reading another one of her books. Beast Boy, going against his will to live, went over to Raven and tried to start a conversation.

"Hey Raven, whatcha readin'?"

She didn't even look up when she said,

"Nothing you would like."

Beast growled out,

"Oh, but I bet Ranma is huh?"

Raven looked up from her book and said,

"Why would you care Beast Boy."

"Because, we don't know him."

Cyborg bounced up from behind his hiding place behind the couch and said,

"We never did figure out how you met Ranma. Would you tell us?"

She looked up from her book and stared at the two boys in front of her.

"No."

Beast Boy said,

"Pretty please Raven? Pretty please?"

They both clasped their hands and their eyes grew as large as saucers. Raven sighed and said,

"Alright fine, I'll tell you."

Both boys sat in a flash Indian style in front of the cloaked girl as if it was story time. She looked from one boy to the other and took a deep breath. She then began the story of how she met Ranma.

FLASHBACK

Raven had wandered to her favorite spring in the woods to take the first bath she had had in weeks. Undressing and laying her clothes down near the shore of the spring, she slowly dropped in to the spring and breathes in the steam floating over and around it's calming waters. Relaxing and letting all of the strains of the day melt away and just try and mold herself in with the soothing waters. Unfortunately, that was not going to happen.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Raven started as she heard a boy scream out and come crashing through the brush wearing a white gi covered in fish, meat, steak and every other meat product imaginable. Raven stared wide eyed as the boy came running at a speed close to Mach 1 out of the brush and jump into the water. As soon as he dove under the water and dissapeared, a lion, a man, and just about every other carnivore in the area came out and stopped for a second as if looking for something. The man she noticed had strange tattoo's and had a stick sticking through his nose. She was about to say something when she felt a hand on her...well um...anyway, the hand dragged her beneath the water and she found the boy holding a finger to his lips and holding a hand over her mouth instead of her...well um...yeah, anyway, she nodded to tell the boy she understood and they stayed that way for a good minute before all the creatures dissapeared. Ranma surfaced for air at the same time Raven did and said,

"Ohthankyohuothankyohuothankyou!"

The girl stared wide eyed at the perverted pig tailed boy and said,

"You realize I'm naked?"

INTERRUPTION

Beast Boy was crying and laughing so hard that if he kept it up, he would need a whole new suit from the stains that he was going make. Cyborg was rolling on the ground laughing his ass off and beating his hands on the ground so hard he was denting the floor. Raven was blushing so red heat was radiating off her in layers and actually increasing room temperature. She cleared her throat and said,

"ANYWAY..."

BACK TO FLASHBACK

The boy finally realized just exactly what he had done and knew that screwed was not the proper word. He looked horror stricken at his accidental victim and said,

"I"MSORRYI"MSORRYIWASJUSTTRYINGTOESCAPEFROMTHECANNIBALANDALLTHEC-C-C-CATSANDOTHERANIMALS!"

He bowed deeply into the water where his face went under water and he was blowing bubbles up saying his apology into the water. Raven giggled and said,

"Look, it's alright. Just don't let it happen again, ok?"

She reached out and touched the boy on a ripped part of his gi and was rewarded with a wince in pain from the boy and a bloody hand belonging to her. Concern filled her voice and she said,

"Your bleeding..."

The boy came up for air and said much more slowly,

"Well I was being chased by a cannibal, a tiger, a badger, a wolverine, a bobcat, a bear, a rabid bat, a wolf, a flock of hunger starved crows, a-"

Raven was beginning to think the list was never gonna end so she said,

"Okay, I get it already, just let me get you back to the temple and I'll patch you right up."

The boy looked strangely at her like she was the first person who had never tried to be nice to him before. He had an almost delusional hope in his eyes and he said,

"Really?"

Raven eyed him for a second back below the water so he couldn't see her naked and said,

"Yeah, it's no problem."

Ranma paled and his eyes began to flutter while an almost sick smile came to his face. A very small, but still heard phrase could be heard.

"Thank you."

He chose that moment to pass out and lay face down in the water with blood discoloring the usually steamy white of the water. Raven looked wide eyed at the boy in front of her and said,

"You just had to pass out now didn't you."

She grudgingly pulled the boy out and dragged him out of the spring and over to where her clothes were. She quickly slipped them on and as she pulled on her shirt, she saw a blood trail leading from here to where the boy was laying, his gi soaking up blood from wounds. She sighed and knew that she was never gonna be able to get to the temple and back alone without those animals coming to eat him and his meaty get up. She sighed and lifted the boy's arm over her shoulder and began to drag the boy towards the Temple. She knew it was going to be a long trip back.

END FLASHBACK

Cyborg and Beast Boy looked out the window at Robin and Ranma and Cyborg said,

"Hm, you weren't kidding when you said he did life endangering techniques."

Raven looked at them and said,

"I don't kid."

Beast Boy relayed his opinion through a very loud snort and he said,

"Yeah, only with Ranma."

She blushed again and said,

"That's because-"

"I've saved her butt more times than she would like to count."

All three jumped at the sudden appearance of the boy who was supposed to be outside and Raven stuttered out,

"Uh, well, hi there R-Ranma."

The boy smiled and said,

"Well good morning there everyone, what were you talking about?"

Beast Boy lessened his life considerably as he said,

"How you met Raven."

Raven shot Beast Boy a glare that could melt a foot of titanium. Ranma looked at all three for a second until he blushed as he realized what that meant. Ranma put his hands in front of him and said,

"Hey now, um it isn't what it sounds like. I was running from a cannibal, a tiger, a badger, a wolverine, a bobcat, a bear, a rabid bat, a wolf, a flock of hunger starved crows, a-"

The other three sweat dropped and said,

"Ok, we get it."

Ranma turned to Robin and said,

"Kinda reminds me of that time we did that sting on that ware house in Gotham."

Robin laughed and said,

"You mean the one where I fell on that girl in the bath and got smacked around the rest of the night?"

Both started laughing and Robin remembered his teammates were in the room. He turned around and sweat dropped as he saw the annoyed and impatient look on Star's face that told he was in for a lot of pain if he didn't explain right now.

Robin twiddled his fingers and said,

"Well, it kinda went like this..."

FLASHBACK

Robin sat atop a building standing across from a known local gang hideout. He looked across the two story building and saw only two lights on. Predictable. A boy in a ski mask and a white gi came up next to him and said,

"So, how's it look Robin?"

Robin smirked and said,

"Pretty easy Ranma. We should clean these guys out in no time."

There was a hidden smirk under Ranma's ski mask and he said,

"Alright, let's get this over with."

He cracked his knuckles menacingly and said,

"Which way we enterin'?"

Robin picked between the one with the most shadows and the one with the least. He chose the least. Robin silently pointed toward a window and held up five fingers to show a countdown to when they would move. The fingers flicked away until one was left. Robin looked to Ranma and Ranma nodded that he was ready. Robin shot out a grapple and crashed through the window into what appeared to be a bathroom. Unfortunately, it was in use. Robin looked at the beautiful girl in the tub and an awkward silence passed. Ranma chose that time to enter and said,

"Hey Robin? What are you...doing?"

He lost his voice as he saw the girl in the tub and he involuntarily jerked and turned around so fast and awkwardly to avoid looking at the girl that he knocked Robin into the bath with the girl. Ranma's apologies were not heard as Robin and the girl were in a moment of an awkwardness that could only be felt in this beautiful fic. Robin found his voice and said,

"Uh...sorry?"

The girl replied with an ear shattering scream and...

END FLASHBACK

"...the rest is history. We took down the local gang and it turns out the girl was actually the daughter of the boss."

Cyborg had tried to hold in the laughter, but was as successful as a gas blimp getting hit by lightning and trying to land. The restraint crashed and burned in the fires of hell. He fell on the floor and laughed so hard he cried. Beast Boy was wondering why his friend and new friend who were practically prudes to the point of being saintly had both seen naked girls and he had only bumped into girls by accident. He sighed and looked to Raven to be surprised. She was actually smiling at both boys and how they were casually talking about walking in on a naked girl and walking away to tell the tale. Beast Boy noticed Raven's gaze fall on Ranma and an emotion he had never seen passed through her eyes and stayed for a few seconds before she dropped her hood and said,

"Hey Ranma, wanna try my cooking?"

Everyone visibly paled at the thought of Raven cooking and tried to get their new friend out of the situation alive. The problem was, Ranma mouth was faster than his danger senses. He said,

"Sure, I mean nothing can be worse than Akane's cooking."

Raven almost beamed happiness and no one really had the heart to tell him to save himself. Starfire on the other hand, was having fun trying to get Ranma to tell her about his other family.

"Friend, who is this 'uncute tomboy' you speak of so vehemently."

Ranma's features darkened and he was about to say he wasn't going to when Starfire pulled a Kasumi and made him tell her by making him feel bad for even thinking of turning her down. He sighed and said,

"Well Star, the 'uncute tomboy' was my fiancées who would never thank me when I saved her butt and always whacked me with a mallet. Her cooking would also try to kill me when it had the chance so when I say she is as thick as a brick and built like a stick, you better believe me I have every reason to make fun of her. Especially after what she pulled..."

Starfire wondered what could have made him dislike someone so much and she said,

"What did this 'Akane' pull?"

Ranma stared and melted under the Kasumi like stare. He rubbed his eyes and he said,

"She-"

Beast boy cut in and said,

"Pulled your leg?"

"No."

Cyborg jumped in and said,

"Pulled a fast one?"

Ranma was getting very uncomfortable and said,

"Well um, no."

Robin joined in and said,

"Pulled a quick slip?"

"Definitely not, although I could see her trying to do that."

Starfire said,

"Did she try to pull a glorphnos out of a fragnot and then cook them in gazuka flounds?"

Everyone sweat dropped and Ranma said,

"Well, I'm not sure what you just tried to say but if it involves cooking and Akane you never know. But no, she was the reason I left Nerima."

Raven had just finished cooking the pancakes, or at least what she thought were pancakes, and had heard the last part. She got very gloomy and was about to leave for her room to go back to being her old emotionless self when she heard the next thing Ranma said that made her stop dead in her tracks.

"But now..."

There was a pause and she sensed that what he said next was completely truthful.

"Now, I have the best friends I could ever ask for. Hey Ray! You gonna come over here or are you gonna make me come over there?"

Raven got those copy righted WAFFy feelings and said,

"Your choice, you dumb jock."

Back in Nerima, Nabiki had called a meeting that had the entire Nerima wrecking crew in one place. To say that they were a somber bunch would have been a sever understatement. Kodachi, Ukyo and Shampoo had all been moping around since Ranma left and were never fighting each other or anyone for that matter since he had been gone. Ryoga had amazingly made it but was bummed because Ranma, his sole reason in life pretty much had left and now he had no reason to really do much. Then there was everyone else who celebrated his departure. Those were Mousse and Kuno who jumped around in joy that the 'vile sorcerer' Saotome could no longer have a 'hold' over their women. Nabiki looked around the room in mute fascination and noticed that Cologne was not present. She sighed and relayed the reason in a way so simple it made a gold fish look complex.

"Alright everyone, I am giving you a choice. My family has found Ranma and we are going to find him. You are either coming or staying. Questions?"

The room fell silent and she said,

"Good, now who's coming."

Everyone present raised their hands and Nabiki smirked. This was almost too easy. There were only two reluctant hands and they belonged to Kuno and Mousse. At last, the Nerima wrecking crew was back together and they were going to get Ranma back. Oh the profits she would make. The only problem was that the plane they were taking was leaving in a week so she had to wait until then to leave. Oh well, what's one more week in peace right?

A/N: Pretty weird eh? I tried to make it good and I hope I did a good job. Thanks for all the reviews. They make me feel good. )
