Hello peoples and welcome to another chapter of Ranma's New Sister! I want to mention that I've been kinda' fighting for ideas… and really I can't come up with anything… since this be the case, I need some help! Somebody, anybody, please help out!! I will credit your ideas even! (provided I use them… if I don't, at least it's the thought that counts…) anyways, please enjoy this chapter! Please R&R!!

Later that day, when Ranko had returned from School, she noticed that Ranma wasn't in the house. Knowing Ranma, he was probably doing something in the dojo. She went around the house and up to the dojo. She listened closely to see if Ranma was in there. She heard a few noises inside, so she assumed that Ranma was in there. However when she entered, she came to find little Fujiko waltzing around in circles. Wondering where Ranma could be, she took the chance to ask, "Hey Fujiko! How was your day?" Fujiko looked up in the direction of the voice and when she noticed Ranko, she instantly brightened up, "Ranko-chan!!" she yelled happily while jumping at her. This effectively knocked Ranko over onto her butt, "Hey Fujiko, careful!" she scolded while giggling, "Okay!"

"Say, where's Ranma, do you know?"

"… he said he'd be back in a little bit…"

"And he left you here by yourself?!! I'm gonna' get him for that!"

"Why?"

"Because you're just a 17 year old in a 10 year olds body! That's not a good idea, no matter how well you are able to defend yourself!"

"o-okay… but I'm fine… please don't scold him! He wouldn't let me stay here if he didn't think I would be fi—"

"Huh? Hey Ranko! How was scho—"

"Ranma, why did you leave poor Fujiko alone?!"

"… Ranko, what's wrong with leaving her alo—"

"Well, she's got the body of a ten year old is what's wrong with it!!"

"So what, she can beat the fuck out of anyone she met!"

"Are you sure? Think about it; she would only have so long to get used to this body, and even then she has a severe amount of strength that's lost due to her small body."

"… if you're that worried, then let's save up until summer break, and then we'll go down to Jusenkyo and find out how to fix this, got it?"

"But Ranma—"

"No buts, if you are so worried about her then take her with you to school!"

"Ran-Ran! Please let her be, she was only worried about me…"

"Okay… listen, I'll find someone that will come over on a daily basis and take care of her until we can get her into a local school. Is that okay with you Fujiko?"

"Yup!"

"Okay then. Now let's go and get something to eat!"

"Yeah!" cried the girls in unison.

A half an hour later they'd reached Ucchan's Okonomiyaki restaurant. Inside they found it was relatively empty. Only an old man in the corner booth and a family of three in another booth around the corner. They chose to sit down at the bar. Ukyo noticed them and immediately greeted them, "Hey, hey, what do we have here? Ranma and his sister… and who's the shrimp?"

"Hey don't you call me a shrimp!"

"Settle down Fujiko—oh yeah, this is Fujiko, my twi—I mean my—uh… uh… she's Ranko's friend! Yeah that's it!!"

"… okay… well, welcome to Ucchans, home of the best okonomiyaki ever made!"

"mmm… sounds good…" Fujiko had wide eyes and was drooling over the wonderful smells. Ukyo handed them all menus and they ordered right away. Once Ukyo began cooking the food, she started some conversation, "So… when did she come along?"

"You mean Fujiko?"

"Yeah, when did she come along?"

"Oh about… maybe a couple days ago…"

"Really? Well then you guys must be really new friends. Oh you know I never introduced myself—I'm Ukyo Kuonji. Just as a welcoming gift, your dish is on the house!"

"Oh my thanks!"

"You're very welcome. Say Ranchan, can I talk to you after your little meal here?"

"Uh… sure I guess…"

"Okay good. Well, your foods ready so eat up!" the three siblings eyes instantly shot to the food and they were hypnotized by the smell… the instant the platters touched the table, the three siblings were nose deep in their food. In about five minutes the three of them were done and asking for seconds. Then another five minutes after the seconds they were going for thirds. Then fourths. Ranma was the only one that went for fifths. The girls were holding their bellies and moaning. Chuckling, Ukyo decided to ask Ranma to come to the back with her to have their little 'Talk', "Hey Ran-chan, mind bringing that stuff back here while me and you talk?"

"Uh… sure!" he said with a mouth full of food.

Once they were in the back of the shop, Ukyo began her interrogation, "So, is that little girl really a friend of Ranko's ?"

"Yeah!"

"Well I can tell you're lying because one I know that look. Two, that girl is only ten. She would have to be twelve or thirteen to even have a chance of meeting Ranko. Three, she's just too much like you and Ranko to just be an acquaintance. So tell me Ranma, who is she?"

"… You won't believe me."

"Just this once I'll try to believe anything you say alright?"

"Kay… she's my twin sister." Ukyo's face twisted in a funny way, slowly the corners of her mouth curled upward and finally she squeezed her eyes shut. She couldn't hold it any longer. She cracked and fell to the floor laughing. She continued until her stomach hurt and her eyes were watering. Finally she settled herself, and she spoke again, "Okay… I'll believe you… but you have to understand this is… really odd…"

"Well duh! Why do you think that I would try to convince you that she was only Ranko's friend?"

"Convince? Really now? I doubt that… I mean you only said 'She's Ranko's friend! Yeah, that's it.', and you said it like you just pulled it out of your ass in the spur of the moment. Ran-chan, you have to understand that I'm good at catching a liar. It's not hard for me… well listen… since you've got two sisters now, and one happens to be ten years old, I'm willing to help out more often, alright?"

"Uh… sure if you want to help me out… I thought I had things going pretty well… but I guess if you want to help me out it would help out a little bit…"

"Good! Well what can I help you with right now?"

"Nothing. However now that I think about it I need someone to stay with Fujiko during the day until either Ranko or myself come home from school…"

"Alright then I'll take care of her while you two are away!!"

"… Thanks. You know, it's actually nice to have you helping me out for once instead of just fighting for my affection."

"Wha—what do you mean by that, huh?!" Ukyo got red in the face at this comment, "S-sorry… listen, I just want you to know I appreciate this."

"Well… okay you're welcome. I don't mind at all."

"Okay… now me and the girls are going to have to get home so that we can get the dojo set up and do homework, etc. etc."

"Alright, see ya Ranma honey!" with that the conversation concluded and the Saotome siblings went home.

Once they got home, it was just starting to get dark. Lucky for Ranma and Ranko it was the weekend. That meant that they could leave their homework to sit until the night before school the next week. Anyway, the group went out to the dojo and began to set up all the equipment that Ranma had bought with the dojo's account. First were the training dummies. They set those off to the side, where they would be out of the way. Next was the exercise equipment. After assembling it—with a little trouble—they finally managed to set up the entire conditioning portion of the dojo. Now they had to set up the practice mats. They laid them on the raised floor in the middle of the dojo. Then they set the other ones in various spots around the dojo. Next they had to set up the weapon rack. This was a challenge, because they needed to have two people hold the rack while a third person either nailed it in place or screwed it in place. They managed it however, thanks to Ranma. He had to lift the entire thing and hold it in one spot for about 15 minutes before finally he was able to let it go. Finally they had to set up the targets for archery and then set up other training mechanisms that Ranma bought for shits and giggles. Now they mostly had all of the equipment set up.

Now was time for baths. Ranko and Fujiko went in first, while Ranma read the paper. In the paper he noticed something that sparked his interest; someone in town was offering up a trip to China for free. Ranma read into it a little bit to find that it was a martial arts tournament. That was perfect for him! Well… him and his sisters… well, Ranko anyways… the tournament was supposed to be around April, and the trip in the middle of July. It was only February, so they had ample time to train for the tournament! However when Ranma noticed the entry fee, he about shit his pants—it was around 20,000¥. There was no way he could afford to pay for the three of them, let alone himself… well until he realized that he could raise the money with the school opened! He would have to open the school up right away though… it would have to be probably within the next week or else it may be too much trouble to come up with the money… after all, he wanted to have affordable rates for new students to the dojo… When everything was said and done, he decided he would open the school tomorrow. With his plans down fat, he ran upstairs to tell Ranko and Fujiko. When he got upstairs though, he all of a sudden heard a large crashing and a thud. After that, he heard the girls scream loudly. Ranma immediately dashed for the door, and what he found inside the bathroom would surprise the hell out of him…
