Recap:

Just by looking at Kasumi I knew that I was going to get a lecture about how I shouldn't play with boys emotions. So I gave her a kiss on her cheek, said my goodbyes and left to meet Jack in the front of the school.

End

Jack was in front of the school just like I expected of a well trained pet. He was the same as all my previous boyfriends, the only reason that they wanted to go out with me was to boost their popularity. The boys of my school would do anything that I told them to, just so they could go out with me. I had them eating out of the palm of my hand. When I was in tenth grade half the boys in the school wanted to go out with me. Now, I have all of the school boys and some from other schools after me. I don't know what they see in me that makes them all crazy. It's probably the way I lead them on thinking that they might have a chance with me, as if, or they just liked the bad girl act.

It's ok, though, because they use me just like I use them. The way I see it all my relationships are based on fifty-fifty. He's in it for the popularity and I'm in it for the money and power. The good part of the relationship is that it doesn't cost me a dime. High school kids are some of the most stupid people I know of! All they care about each others' status, if you're in the 'in crowd' or not and if your still a virgin. Some of my ex-boyfriends have paid me quite a bundle of money just so I would let them say that we have had sex in our pervious relationships. I don't care what people say because I know that I'm still a virgin, and it's better to get some money out of them then let them talk of how they banged me when they didn't even have a chance to hit third base.

Sometimes I get sick and tired of all the drama that occurs at school and no matter how much I try not to be involved somehow I always end up in the middle of it. I was nominated as the most attractive women of the school last year; I didn't even do anything to win when the majority of the girls would change their appearance just to even be considered one of the more attractive ones.

Having power is great but the drama is another thing that I have to sacrifice for that power. I tried so hard to lose the title my classmates gave me because I was getting more attention than I wanted at the time. In the end I gave up on it so that I could the torment the other girls that hadn't won that miserable title. Ukyo was one to those brainless girls that tried to win.

It was funny seeing the reaction on Ukyo's face when they told her she hadn't won that stupid title. She did win third place but she wanted to be first. Sorry to say that I didn't give her the pleasure of that stupid title. Ukyo became a girly girl after Ranma left; I think that she thought he didn't choose her because she wasn't feminine enough for him. So she became like the rest of the obsessive girls in school, only caring about there appearance. Ukyo did change a lot, but with change comes new friendships and that's one of the reasons that I'm happy we changed. She became one of my closest friends; she gets on my nerves sometimes but other then that she's pretty cool.

In the beginning Ukyo was just like me; using boys for our entertainment, but then she and Ryoga got together. They have a normal relationship, other than the fact that Ukyo has Ryoga on a dog leash when he turns into "P-CHAN". She doesn't mind the fact that he is cursed, she actually enjoys it. I think she likes him having the curse so she can have some power in the relationship. Like this one time when he said that he was going to go training and she wanted him to stay, so she purposely got him wet so she could keep him in town for the night.

Don't think that I'm ok with Ryoga liying to me about being my pet. When I found out that my PET PIG was in reality a MAN, I kicked Ryoga's ass until sun rise the next day. I would have kept on going but my sisters stopped me, locking me in my room until he left. After that I didn't speak to him for about five months. Then, Ukyo approached me, telling me that she and Ryoga were officially a couple.

I didn't realize that she was serious about Ryoga until she asked me if I would give her my approval of their relationship. From the start I told her that I did approve of their relationship, but that there was no chance in hell that he would have my respect after what he did to me. I think that they were made for each other, the way they finish each others sentences.

Enough of Ukyo and her boyfriend, lets get back to my new pet. Jack just moved from the UK a month ago. He has blond hair and blue eyes, but they don't compare to Ranma's ocean eyes. Jack is four inches taller then me, he is buff but not to the extent of a looking like a gorilla. You can say he's cute but, he could never compare to Ranma's good looks. He has lots of money and that's what I love about him. Ever since he transferred to my school he has bought me jewelry and candy. The presents have gotten bigger and better since he asked me out. I love the power three little words have on a person. You just say 'I LOVE YOU' to him and he'll give you his most prized possessions just to keep you for a bit longer.

I once fell victim to those three little words, too. When he told me that he loved me I thought that I was on top of the world and I felt the need to please him so that no other women could take him away from me. But just what I was trying to forbid from happening did happen, he left me with no explanation. He used me and then threw me like a piece of trash on the side of the street. That's when it came to me. It was his time to feel how I felt, when he left me for someone else! Just the way that he used me for his perverted little game, I'm going to do the same to him!

All my thoughts were interrupted when stupid Jack waved his had in front of my face.

"Hey, are you in there?" he asked me. My first instinct was to punch his face.

"Don't you ever do that to me again! I may be your girlfriend but you will behave like a civilized person and wait to be addressed by me, when the time comes, or we could just end the relationship right now!" I howled at him. I made his nose bleed, that made him fierce. No matter how mad he would get I wouldn't let him lay a finger on me because I would've kicked his ass just like the old pervert; taught me how to defend myself.

Even if he said that he was a gentleman and would never disrespect a lady I would always be on my guard. I didn't believe in that word, but he would always say that his parents brought him up to be a good gentleman no matter how bad the women were to him. But, no matter how much a man pretends to be nice, deep down inside of them they are the devil himself; that's why women should always be on the defensive side when it comes to men!

After he listened to what I told him he looked at me with a disappointed face. He was not about to let me break up with him, not when we barely started to go out last week.

"I'm sorry I just…I ... well you looked like if you were thinking about something other than me and ... well I'm your boyfriend, I think that you should just think about me because this is my time!" It was funny looking at how he first started to stutter and then tried to end his sentence with a firm voce.

"Look, I could have just about any boy in this town and I chose you for a reason, because I love you. If you're not going to do things my way then I suggest that you start looking for a new girl friend! I don't have time to be playing silly games with a grown up! Yes, I do have more important things to think about like how I'm going to pay the bills this month, and how I'm going to get money to buy food! Don't you think that that's more important than thinking about my boyfriend that I'm going to see in a couple of minutes! Unlike you, I have to work to bring in some income for my family and sometimes that's not enough. So sorry if I have to worry about providing my family with what they deserve," the water works started to fall from my eyes. MEN, they always fall for the same stupid act!

I can't help but feel sorry for them sometimes because they let themselves be trampled. Jack started to stutter again and his body became tense.

"Look …I'm sorry for…be such a jack ass. How much money do you need? If you want you can have my credit card? You could keep it and use it all you want. Just please stop crying; I can't stand looking at a pretty girl crying," he said, grabbing my chin so that I would look at him. How I hated when they would do that to me, I would feel inferior to them. But if I was to remove my chin from his hand, I would ruin the mood and then I wouldn't be able to get what I wanted from him.

I gave him a small smile, yanked the credit card from his had and gave him a big wet one on his lips. He was so stunned from the kiss I gave him that he just stood there. So I gave him a hug and whispered into his left ear, seductively.

"I'll see you later. Give me a call later to see if we could have some fun after I get off of work."

His body shuddered hearing the last few word I said, "Ok, I'll see you later my love."

You could tell that Jack had it bad for me the way he said my love. I smiled when he said my love but how I hated that stupid phrase. With that said, I left to search for Ukyo. I felt the need to tell her about the new visitor that came to Nerima.

School had already started three hours ago, and I couldn't find Ukyo anywhere. She wasn't in her second period, that's for sure, because she would always ditch first and second period. I looked in the cafeteria, the rest room, the gym, the locker room, and on the quad, she was nowhere in sight.

I wasn't about to give up looking for her, so I left school and headed for her house. I needed to tell her that Ranma was in town, that he was coming to my house, and that their might be a possibility that my father wanted him to stay at my house. But that wasn't about to happen, not when I had grudge on him.

I was getting aggravated with the fact that this dumb ass didn't call me to tell me that she wasn't planning on attending school today. My phone rang when I was just about to open the door to Ukyo's shop. It was my Boss, asking if I could go in early to work because one of the other girls got sick. I told him that I would go in, in two hours; first I needed to take care of some personal affairs. With that said I hung up my cell and entered Ukyo's place. Needless to say, I was appalled with what I saw in front of me. Ukyo and that Piggy boy were having sex on the counter.

"Would you mind telling me what the hell you're doing on the counter with the door wide open? You know a kid could have opened that door and would be traumatized for the rest of his life just by what I just saw!"

The door wasn't open; I opened it myself, thanks to Nabiki teaching me how to pick locks.

The stupid Hibiki boy looked at me and got all red. He tried to hide behind the counter and started to look for his pants. The sad thing about that was that his pants were next to me. He ran and grabbed his pants; he looked at me then at Ukyo and ran out of the restaurant. He still had feelings for me because he would still tell me himself that if I could forgive him and give him a chance. I would always say no because A) he lied to me, B) I could not stand him, and C) he was my friends boyfriend. I would never tell Ukyo this because she started to have feelings for this guy and I knew that if I was to tell her, our friendship would not be the same.

"You jack ass! What the hell is your problem? The door was locked, didn't you see the closed sign outside? Now I'm not going to see him for about a week or so! What the hell do you want anyway? Aren't you supposed to be at school right now?"

It was funny looking at Ukyo get mad; no matter how mad she would get she could not stay mad at me for very long. She was getting dressed when I started to speak to her.

"Well, you also have to be at school instead of getting fucked by that pig!" I heeded to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

"You're just jealous because you haven't gotten any yet!" she barked at me.

I started to laugh when she said that, "I can't believe that you said that. You of all people should know that if I wanted to lose my virginity I could have done it a long time ago!" I brushed some of my hair from my face that fell when I bent down to get the glass of water.

"You know that if you did fuck some of that stress would go away," she said, grinning.

"Is that why you don't fight anymore? Because all your rage is gone from screwing, that pig boy?"

She stayed quiet; it looked like she was thinking of a come back to throw at me.

I didn't have time to argue with her because I had to go to work, "Enough with the sex talk. I came for a purpose. Did you know that Ranma is in town?"

She was in total shock when I sand Ranma's name, "No, I didn't know! What is he doing here? Is Shampoo with him?"

I took a deep breath and looked at her, that's when she sat on the stool, "I don't know why he came back, but I know for a fact that he's coming to my house for dinner. From what Kasumi said to me earlier this morning he didn't bring that slut!"

"So Kasumi was the one that told you about him coming?"

It looked like she wanted to know who had told me the news just by the look that she was giving me.

I shook my head and said, "No, I bumped into him on my way to Kasumi's house. He didn't recognize me, that's for sure. I had to tell Kasumi that I knew he was in town so that she could spill the beans. Could you believe that my own family wouldn't even tell me something this important?"

She got off the stool and went in to her living room in the back of the restaurant.

I started to follow her when she answered my question, "That's sad of them to do, but wouldn't you be used to this kind of treatment from your family?"

"Yes, from Nabiki and my father but not from Kasumi and her husband." I just nodded and took a seat next to her on the sofa.

"Well, what could you do if you can't even trust your own family? What are you going to do when Ranma comes over tonight to your house? Do you want me to come over so that we can both kick his ass?" she made a fist when she asked me the last question.

I looked at her, then I looked at the hallway be for I answered her, "You know that's the first thing that popped into my head when I saw him! After the encounter I had with him I started to think of how much I suffered when he left and how used me like a toy! The way he played with my emotions and didn't care what would be the outcome for me when he would be out of the picture! But now the wheel has turned and the ball is in my court!" my tone of voice became heavier when I was half way done with my response.

"Don't tell me you're thinking of what I think you're thinking of?" she knew me so well, because I knew that she already had an idea of what I was thinking of. Her right had covered her mouth when I was about to speak.

"If you're thinking of me wanting to get back at him and that hussy then you're right!" I said, the words came out of my mouth so emotionless it even scared me for a moment.

By this time, Ukyo was now more serious then ever, "Akane, don't do this to yourself; I let it go, why can't you do the same? Just let them be and go on with your life."

When she said that, in my eyes she had become soft.

I got so mad at her! Why was she on their side when she also suffered like I did?

"What the hell happened to you, aren't you the one that would say that if you would ever get the chance to get back at them that you wouldn't even hesitate?"

She had become soft; she looked like she was on the verge of crying, "Yes Akane, but I was hurt back then and I learned how to forget. I don't want anything to do with them because it still hurts that he left me. I would do myself greater damage just by doing what your intending on doing to him and her."

I pulled my hair back; I just wanted her to understand how I was feeling.

"But that's the deference between you and me. You still have feelings for him. All I have for him is hatred and loathing! I've been waiting for this day to come, and for all I know he's going to get what he deserves! I don't care if you're with me or not anymore! I just want him to feel some of the pain that he made me go through!" I put my head down and looked away from her. I felt betrayed, because we always said that if we ever got a chance to get back at him, we would do it without hesitation!

She looked at me, and I think that she notice how I felt, that she had let me down, "Ok. Let's just say that if I was to go along with this nonsense of yours, how would we get back at him?"

When she said that, I jumped up from my set and hugged her, "You're the greatest! I knew that I could trust you on something as important as this! If you're going to help me, you can't tell anybody, not even the piggy boy of yours," I was overjoyed with her answer.

"Well of course not. He would just go running to him. So, what are we going to do? Are we going to start tonight at your house?" She gave me that serious face that made boys say she's cute

I was about to tell her my strategy when I looked at her clock. That when I realized, that I had twenty minutes to get to work.

"Yes, but I don't have time to tell you anything right now, I have to get to work. I'll either call you tonight after I start my plan of action, or I'll just tell you tomorrow."

With that said I gave her a kiss on the cheek and walked toads the exit.

She was walking me to the door when she asked, "Ok then. See you at school around third period?"

"Ok, see you then, and don't tell a soul!" I turned around to face her when she just nodded her head. I started to run so that I could make it on time; my job was forty min. away from Ukyo's shop. RANMA, TONIGHT YOU WILL HAVE THOUGHT TWICE ABOUT CROSSING MY PATH!...
