Hello again sports fans, and I'd like to thank anyone who's read my story so far. Also you'll find some answers to the 'Perfect Reality' Ranma is now living in. As you'll find, it's not as perfect as it seems. Anyways, enjoy the new chapter and please send your comments in a review. I also encourage good ideas!

After finding out that Ranko's physical therapist was Dr. Tofu, he was really relieved. After getting his sister to therapy that day, he went straight home to think about why all of the chaos that was running rapid in Nerima had suddenly stopped… he also wondered how it was possible for the Tendos to leave a running freezer in the back of the house. However as Ranma thought about it, he realized that he hadn't looked to see what was in the freezer. He went out back to find a little metal box. As he popped the lid, he found loads of food inside, but the ice keeping it cold was melted. Therefore, the food was pretty much soggy and spoiled. "Well, thanks anyway Kasumi…" while Ranma continued inside of the house, he wondered how he would be able to keep the house. Another issue was the power. I mean, you can't live without having some amount of electricity to run your appliances. That was yet another dilemma… they didn't have any appliances left to their name. The only thing they had left was the wad of cash that the guide had given him. There seemed to be more questions surrounding the money than anything. One of the biggest questions was 'Where did he get the money and why did he give it to Ranma?' well, since Ranma didn't own a phone at the dojo, he would have to go to a pay phone somewhere like he and his sister did when they got her signed up for school. "Wait, I didn't find out when Ranko was done with her physical therapy! Damn!! Oh well, better go down there and wait for her…" with that Ranma ran to Dr. Tofu's to find a very interesting scene…

"I wish Ranma come back soon…" whined a sad little Chinese girl named Shampoo. She was worried about her Airen. Not only that, but she caught word from her great great grandmother that he had been in a fight with Herb, and happened to fall into the spring of separation. Shampoo didn't know why they decided to change the name to 'Spring of Separation'. It was originally "The Spring of Purification" where people would enter the spring to purify themselves of the curse they had once had, and usually they got a pet as a bonus take home present. That pet was usually the purified person's cursed side. "Hmm… I wonder why Ranma go into that spring?" Being the dumbass she was, Shampoo had to wonder these things and think about them for long periods of time. It was kind of sad in a way. Shampoo was wondering the streets of Nerima at that moment, and she was also somehow going in the direction of the Tendo dojo. On the way however, she passed Dr. Tofu's clinic. She decided that she would go see how Tofu was doing. She walked up the front door and pressed the doorbell button. After a couple of minutes of no one coming, she decided to let herself in. She found that there was nobody in the waiting room, and Tofu wasn't in his office. That meant that he was in with a patient. She went to the first patient room and knocked on the door. "Who is it?"

"Oh Dr. Tofu, it Shampoo!"

"Well then come on in Shampoo!" invited Tofu. As Shampoo entered, she found that Tofu's patient was none other than, "Ranma!! You back!! Airen!!!" Shampoo then preceded to death grip the poor innocent girl sitting on the patient's table. "Ow… oww… I-I c-can't breath!!"

"Shampoo please let go of her for a second! That's not Ranma!" Shampoo literally stood up, dropped Ranko, and gave Tofu a minor glare, "This too Ranma! He just be hit with cold water!"

"Shampoo… listen, I'll prove to you that that's not Ranma." As he said that, Tofu got a cooled off cup of tea, still warm, and poured it on Ranko, "I'm sorry Ranko… anyways, that proves that this is not Ranma." Shampoo sat silent for a few minutes before her trademark weapons popped up out of nowhere and she screamed, "I kill!!" with that she attacked Ranko. However Ranko caught the giant maraca-like weapon and managed to hold it. "Shampoo stop it! What the hell are you doing?!" screams Tofu, "This 'Ranko' is obstacle, and obstacles meant for killing."

Just as she said that Tofu hit a pressure point on Shampoo making her fall to the ground for a few seconds. Those few seconds made it possible for Tofu to grab Ranko and scram! Just as the pressure point wore off on Shampoo, she busted through all the walls of the clinic trying to find Tofu and more importantly Ranko. She finally found them hiding in the back yard. "I kill!!" She practically blew up the back yard by the time the Doctor and patient escaped to another part of the property. Finally Shampoo found them again and she attacked her victims mercilessly. She wasn't doing any good though because Tofu was blocking all of her attacks, "Damn it Tofu quit moving! I not able to hit enemy with you blocking!" as Shampoo continued her onslaught, Ranma appeared and shoved her out of the way, "What the mother fuck are you trying to do to my sister you goddamn Chinese bimbo?!!"

"Airen! I kill female you because she want to be your fiancee—wait, you say sister?!!"

"That's exactly what I said, now what the fuck are you doing trying to kill her?!"

"I tell you why! She obstacle!"

"I don't give a shit if she's an obstacle or not, you stop attacking her, got it?!!"

"Airen!!" Shampoo jumped on Ranma and began squeezing the life out of him, "WTF?!! Shampoo, get the fuck off!! Goddamn!!"

"No!! I want love you now!!"

"What in the hell do you think is gonna happen here?! You expect my pants to fall off and you get to have fun with my one eyed wonder weasel? Well I'll tell you right now, that ain't happenin', now fuck off!!"

"No, but if you no want me to have fun with your little friend, I let you have fun with my little firends!!" with that shampoo ripped her shirt off and her breasts came bouncing out. "Sweet Christ Shampoo, my sister's right over there!! Put them Goddamn things back where they belong would ya'?!!"

"Why Ranma?!" As Shampoo said that, Ranma looked up to see a large object in the shape of a minotaur with wings coming at them like a meteor "… You're fucked!" as he screamed this, he ran for his life and grabbed his sister. "What you mean aire—" BOOM something really big fell right on top of Shampoo, and boy was that a good thing for Ranma. Not only did Pantyhose Taro Knock out Shampoo, but himself too. Finally after Ranma got home with his sister, he plopped down on the floor with her in the living room. "Ranma, who was that scary girl?" asked Ranko hesitantly, "Shampoo? Well, it's a little unfair, but I can't tell you right now. I'll tell you a little later."

"Hey Ranma, why did you say those bad words?"

"… Well that's from habit… but don't you dare pick up that habit… dear god."

"Okay then. Don't I have to go to school on Monday though?"

"Yup, that's another day away. Tomorrow we'll go shopping for school stuff, okay?"

"Yeah, sure!" Just as she said that, Ranma heard a knock on the door. "Come in!" just as he said that, a mailman came in with some mail, "Here you go… uh, mister Saotome?"

"Which one?"

"Uh—Ranma"

"That'd be me!"

"Okay, this is a letter from China."

"China?! Who would send me a letter from China?!"

"All it says on the return address is 'Mr. Guide & Plum'"

"Oh those two. Okay, thank you very much!"

"You're very welcome sir!"

"Okay, let's see what these two have in store for me!"

Dear Mister Customer,

Hello! I want to explain why I give you such big wad of cash. I give it to you because you look like you needed it and also I had extra on me from all the tourists that come through here and want view the springs. I also do demonstration for people who come here. They like so much they pay to see again. So, I have plenty extra money to give. I not sure why they do this, but they do! Anyway, I hope you're fine, and we wish you a wonderful day!

-Mr. Guide & Plum

"… Well, that helps… I suppose…"

"Ranma?"

"Oh, yeah what is it Ranko?"

"Squelch I'm hungry…"

"… don't let your stomach growl like that, it makes me hungry too… Squelch see?!"

"Go get food then silly!"

"… You're going to come with me to get it then…"

"Why do I have to go?!"

"Because I said so, now come with me!!"

"No!"

"Ranko, I won't ask again! Come with me!!"

"No no no no no!!!"

"Fine, I'll pick you up and carry you there!!"

"Stay back!! Ahhhh!!!" as Ranko ran screaming, her brother was grinning from ear to ear, and hot on her tail… and he caught her within five seconds. "Ranko, please listen to me! I have a good reason for you to come, but you're going to have to come with me to find out!"

"… fine…"

"Okay then! Hop on my back!"

"… I want to walk."

"did Dr. Tofu already get you walking today?!"

"Yup! See, I'll show you!" with that she took her first steps, just like a baby. She was a little wobbly at first, but the she evened out. Then she wobbled some more and just before she fell on her butt Ranma came to the rescue and scooped her up bridal style. "That's great Ranko! You've made quite a lot of progress! I'm proud of you. Now let's go to Ucchan's and we'll get some okonomiyaki!!"

"What's that? It sounds… strange."

"It's Japanese pizza."

"I like pizza. I'll eat that!"

"Good, I'm glad. Now let's go—oof!"

"Ranma!! Prepare to die!!"

"What in—oh hell nah, not him…"

Well, I'll leave you to think of what will happen next… other than some confusion and some usual dualing antics between two classic rivals… we all know that line, so I hope you know who's coming up in the next chapter. I'm glad to see that lots of people are enjoying this fic, and I hope I can continue entertaining you all. I would appreciate it if you were to Review this story also, because that way I can get good ideas and not only that but you can point out little problems or conflicts in the story's plot so far. Just a note, this story is a day to day kind of thing, so I will have chapters that have the end of one day and the beginning of another and sometimes one chapter will be a whole other day in itself. Sometimes I'll skip a week or two to advance the plot, but that's about all I'll do. Like I said, please give me ideas, and if the idea is absolutely wonderful and creative, I'll credit you if I decide to use it. Also please do visit my other fic 'Inuyasha and Kagome, together as one" so that you can give me ideas for that too. I might have an update for that soon, but other than that, please give me ideas for that! Thank you again for reading this fic and you have a wonderful day!
