The Right One For Me
by: numbskull
Part 6: Ranma meets Naru
Ranma went back to his room to get his towel and bath things.
'Shinobu-san did a great job in cooking dinner. For such a young girl, she really
does have talent.'
Ranma went down the stairs and made his way to the inn's hot spring. He placed
his clothes on the hamper and went inside the hot spring.
"Tadaima (I'm home)!" a girl called out the door.
"Ara! Naru-chan, okaerinasai (welcome home)! Have you had dinner already?"
Kitsune greeted Naru. "Hai. I ate in a restaurant." Naru said and made her way back to
her room placed her books on a corner and laid doen on the futon.
"(sigh) It's been a long day for me. I guess this is just a bad day for me. Well, to
wash all of these tensions away, I'm going to take a bath." She got her things and went
to the inn's hot spring.
Ranma poured cold water on himself which triggered his curse. She washe her
body and shampooed her hair. 'Darn it! When can I have a bath without being a girl all
the time?' Ranma thought angrily. She rinsed herself with cold water and got inside the
hot spring turning her back to a guy.
"Now this is better. I'd say bathing like this in an open air is very relaxing. And I
can take a bath without worrying Happosai walking in on me trying to get me to wear a
stupid bra. That stupid old man..." Ranma closed his eyes and submerged under the
water.
Naru placed her clothes on the hamper and carried her towel on her shoulders
and went inside. She cleansed her body before going in the hot spring. She walked in to
the hotspring and stepped on something hard. Suddenly, a pigtailed man emerged from
the water which made Naru slip and landed on top of him.
Naru was shocked to find a man inside the hot spring with her and Ranma stared
blankly at the girl on top of him thinking that he saw her before but cannot remember
where. Naru stared at him thinking, 'He's so handsome.' and reality struck her. A vein
grew on her forehead and she balled her fists very hard. Ranma knew that the girl's
getting furious so he tried to talk. "Uh...ummm...this isn't what it looks like." Fear can be
obviously seen on Ranma's face and he flew to the night sky hearing Naru say "Ecchi
(pervert)!"
When Keitaro heard that Ranma was hit by Naru's famous punch, he immediately
grabbed Ranma's clothes and went out to look for him. Finally, he found Ranma in an
alley who was coming to his senses.
"Where am I?" Ranma asked himself. "You're in an alley." A voice said. Ranma
looked at where the voice came from. "Keitaro-san..." "Here, I brought you your
clothes. You don't want to go back to the inn looking like that, do you?" Keitaro said
and handed Ranma his clothes. Ranma blushed as he realized that he's nude and took
the clothes from Keitaro.
When he was finally dressed, they made their way back to the inn. Ranma
stopped for a while and looked at a shop. "What's the matter, Ranma-san? Is there
something wrong?" Keitaro asked looking at Ranma. "Keitaro-san, do you have money
with you?"
"Yeah, why?" Keitaro looked at Ranma confusingly. "Can I borrow some? I
promise I'll pay you once we're back at the inn." Keitaro took out his wallet and gave
Ranma the money. Ranma thanked Keitaro and ran to the store. After he finished
shopping, they walked back to the inn.
"What's it for, Ranma-san?" Keitaro asked.
"It's for peace-offering. I think I owe her an apology. I just don't want to do same
thing that happened to me before." Ranma said as he remembered the first day he came
to the Tendo dojo.
"I see." Keitaro said and smiled at Ranma.
They finally got to the inn and saw nobody was up. Keitaro looked at the clock
and saw that it was already late. He said goodnight to Ranma and headed to his room.
Ranma did the same. Before he entered his room, he stopped in front of Naru's door
but he hesitated on knocking and went inside his room.
Naru opened the door and saw nobody there.
"I thought I heard someone passed and stopped in front of my door." She said
and looked to her left and right. "I guess It's just my imagination." Naru shrugged and
closed the door behind her and went back to sleep.
End.
Finally I finished another chapter. I also finished the draft of this story and all I have to
do is to type and post it. So, may I ask how was it? It's quite short but I hope you like
it.

Naru: Sit down and explain!
numbskull: ((sits down immediately)) H-hai!
numbskull: ((clears throat)) It's like this. I haven't posted a new chapter for a long, long
time because our computer broke down. How am I supposed to continue my story? I'm
just glad that it's already fixed. ((bows down to everyone)) Sorry it took so long,
minna-san (everybody). Please understand my situation. And gomenasai, Naru-san if
you come here everyday. I appreciate your effort in coming here. And to compensate
for my misbehavior, I'll treat you to a restaurant tonight.
Naru: Really???
numbskull: Hai. It's all I can do to make it up to you. And to the readers, I'll post
another 2 chapters to compensate for a very late chapter. Will it be okay with you guys?
I hope so because I'll post it now.
Naru: You're so nice, numbskull! ((smiles))
numbskull: Arigatou (thank you), Naru-san! Be ready for the dinner Naru-san. I'll pick
you up at 8.
Naru: Hai! I have to go now. I have to get ready for our date! ((winks at numbskull))
numbskull: ((blushes)) Okay! So that's it! I have to get ready too!!! Please review this
chapter. Arigatou gozaimasu, minna-san (Thank you very much, everybody)!!! Oh

About the reviews:
FreedomGundam: Thanks for reviewing. I hope you will still continue to read my
story. Enjoy!!!
Jerry Unipeg: Thanks for reviewing again. I'm glad you liked the chapter.
DarkInuRanma: I hope so too. But I know he will. All he needs is to get along with
the girls too. And maybe sooneror later he will have the guts to tell them about his
curse. He just doesn't feel likeit yet. He's afraid that they may think of him as a freak.
Having curse like that will make you paranoid thinking of what others might think of
you. Well, thanks for reviewing. I posted another 2 chapters to compensate for a very
late chapter. The reason is there while Naru-san and I are talking. Please keep on
reading my story. Thanks again.
