"Are you sure about this?" Kasumi fidgeted on stage, wringing her hands together nervously, "I mean, maybe they were mistaken?"

WFROSE looked back at Ranma behind him, and sighed at the heated, animostic glare he was favoring. With a sigh, the author replied to the eldest Tendou sister, "Hey, the readers enjoyed it enough for an encore request, just don't pull and Eminem, alright?"

Kasumi smiled and nodded, "Well, I did enjoy myself... oh my, this will be so much fun! I mean, I've been practicing while doing the dishes while father was out running errands and everyone else is at school, and I have been listening to a lot of American Hip Hop lately..."

"Knock yourself out." With that, WFROSE /nicked himself to DJWFROSE, and got behind the twin turntables, starting up the beat, "Aaaaannnnd, BEGIN!"

"I got my encore-on-the-scene, cause my lyrics can-be-so-mean. And.. I runn'n words-that-are-so-clean they outshine-your-bling. But.. with style yet-to-unfold, I leave you stand'n-all-cold. Premonitions have-been-foretold. Eruption iminant, the breech can't hold.

Yet-I-bring-this-with-a-smiling-face-putting-niggas-right-into-their-place-smooth-as-silk-and-cute-as-lace-while-burning-you-like-a-can-of-mace!"

DJWFROSE nearly faltered on the tables, staring wide-eyed at Kasumi, "God DAMN!"

"Now I keep-bring'n-it-down. My makeup ain't-for-a-clown. Bozo's that-been-around, two-days, get-out-my-town.

No, you're not in my league, no need for-you-t'be-hang'n. Hat'n on you guys is like time-a-wast'n. Mean'n... I'm just highlight'n, and be blast'n with-this-mic'-n I keep'n ya-in-check just like I-keep'n-housing.

Tidy is-what-I-be. Mighty is-how-my-strength is and slam'n-ya-shak'n-yo-teeth, burying you under-the-ground-beneath-me.

Now who woulda-thunk, Kasumi be-hold'n-spunk? That the maid of-the-house be the queen-with-a-mouth? You-wouldn't-think-it-'cause-I-don't-really-look-it-but-I-krunked-it-like-the-shiznit-'cause-this-survival-of-the-fittest."

"Did she just say 'krunk'?" Nabiki asked Akane, who could only stare in dumbfoundment.

"I'll finish what I start, silencing critiques with-my-artform. Style far-from-the-norm', exposure can-be-quite-harmful. I-let-you-catch-that-breath, as I wrap-up-this-rendition-of-Ebony-Eyez's-'In-Ya-Face'-'n'-peace-to-ya-homies-much-love-and-Kami-be-bless'n!"

"Ah..." was all DJWFROSE could say.

"You know? I think she was calling me out..."

DJWFROSE shook himself out of his awed stupor at hearing Kasumi bring the flow, "Wait, man, she was just gam'n. No need to get hostile about it."

"Na, na, I think we needs a battle to settle this..."

DJWFROSE sighed, "Ranma... yo Ranma..."

"What?"

"You're just gonna hurt yourself, kid."

"Oh, you know it's gotta go down, now!"

"Damn it, NO! I'll have to be the one that writes that shit!"
