Last time

Nabiki was laughing loudly as she rolled around on the floor "That'll show them to view my dreams without permission!" she calmed herself down and pushed the box back underneath her bed. 'I think I'll keep that just incase.' She smiled before she lay back down on the bed.

Soun simply stuck his head in "Nabiki-chan where is everyone else?"

Nabiki smiled at her father "Oh they're all at the Nekohaten tonight, they said they had something to discuss with Cologne."

Soun shrugged "If you say so. Good night Nabiki-chan" he left and went to sleep in his own room

Nabiki smiled as she felt herself drift off to sleep 'I think I can scare them for a while with this one.' And with that thought she fell asleep.

The next morning: Nekohaten

Ranma woke up slowly as he had been enjoying a nice Nabiki free dream involving himself, Kasumi, and a nice quiet picnic at the park. Stretching out he froze when he heard someone moan. 'What was that?' he thought fearfully as he took the time to look around himself. 'This isn't my room' he realized after a moment's thought.

Turning to face the sound he was treated to the sight of Kasumi laying comfortably on a sleeping bag that Cologne had thoughtfully provided for her. Yawning cutely Kasumi sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "Good morning Ranma-kun did you sleep well?" she asked as she gave him her usual smile.

Ranma nodded his head happily as he nuzzled her hand affectionately "Nyaa, nyaa!" he meowed causing her to giggle.

"I take that as I yes then. Well then I guess I should go see if Obaa-san needs help in the kitchen." With that said Kasumi got up, stretched and walked down into the kitchen to see if she could help Cologne cook breakfast.

Ranma having been left alone decided that he would go see how everyone else was doing after such a weird night. 'First stop, Akane' he thought to himself as he began making his way over to where Akane had fallen asleep.

Oddly enough she had fallen asleep on the couch 'I expected her to sleep on the ground like the rest of us.' Ranma mused to himself as he took a seat near her.

"Stay…away from me…hentai…" she mumbled to herself in her sleep causing Ranma to sweat drop as he took a few steps back.

'Uh…is she talking about me?' he thought to himself as he tilted his head to the side. Shaking his head figuring that he probably didn't want to hear anymore of her sleep talking Ranma decided to check in on Kasumi to see what was cooking, decidedly against going near Shampoo so early in the morning. 'Besides she'd probably try to drag me into her bed or something like that.' He mused to himself.

As he neared the kitchen the tantalizing aroma of freshly cooked food drifted into his nose as his mouth began to water. 'That smells so good.' He thought as he made his way into the kitchen and sat near the door.

Cologne having sensed his presence turned her head and chuckled. "Do not worry your little head Muko-dono breakfast will be ready soon, why don't you go wait in the dining room the others will be down shortly.

Although he didn't like the 'little' part, Ranma nodded and trotted out of the kitchen and into the dining room where he was treated to the sight of Mousse hugging a chair professing his love to Shampoo.

Ranma lightly shook his head in bewilderment 'I don't think I will ever know how that guy could mistake a chair for the woman he loves.' His inner musings were cut short when Mousse noticed his presence and pulled out his glasses.

"Gah! Saotome, how dare you show your womanizing face around me!" he pulled out numerous daggers from his sleeves and prepared himself. "I'll end you right here and free my darling Shampoo from your vile clutches!" he shouted as he threw said daggers at the cat-like boy.

Jumping out of the way Ranma wasted no time and charged forward using his cat like agility to his advantage as he weaved a path through the onslaught of weaponry the Mousse pulled out of his sleeves.

It was over in a flash as Ranma sent the blind Amazon male flying out the door and into the garbage heap conveniently right outside the restaurant. Ranma stuck his nose into the air and turned way from the fallen warrior as Shampoo walked into the room.

"Aiyaa! Duck-boy try fight Airen again?" she asked in her usual broken Japanese, which although he found it cute on occasion, Ranma found annoying as he knew Shampoo could speak better if she had half the mind to do so.

Ranma merely shrugged as a response as he climbed into an empty seat and waited as Akane walked in with a small frown, having apparently been thinking about last night. "Good morning." She mumbled.

Shampoo and Ranma merely nodded their heads in acknowledgement of the blue-haired girl. Before going back to what they had been doing. Ranma, waiting for food, and Shampoo poking Mousse's body with a stick.

Fifteen minutes later Kasumi and Cologne walked out carrying breakfast which consisted of a traditional Japanese breakfast. "Breakfast is ready!" Kasumi called out happily as she herself took a seat next to Ranma.

Akane nodded her head as she took the seat across from Ranma while Shampoo sat on his other side. Mousse situated himself on Shampoo's open side while Cologne took her seat at the head of the table. "Itadakimasu!" they called out before beginning their meal with light conversation permeating the pleasant meal.

When the meal was over Ranma sighed as he looked around the room. 'I wonder if the old ghoul has a cure?' he thought to himself sadly as he reflected on his current predicament.

Cologne noticed his actions and cackled. "It's no use Muko-dono only I know how to reverse the spell that has been cast on you. And you know full well what I want from you if I am to cure you."

Ranma glared at her before turning his head away "Nyaa!" he stated obviously his equivalent of 'No way!'

Cologne shrugged her shoulders "Alright then if that's the way you want to be." Turning away from him she busied herself by preparing the restaurant for business.

Ranma stuck his tongue out at her only to wince as she smacked him on the head with her cane. "Nyaa~!" he yowled piteously as he fell onto the ground.

Kasumi giggled as she knelt next to Ranma and began to rub the spot Cologne had struck. "There, there Ranma-kun it's alright" she said soothingly as he began to purr in contentment much to Shampoo's ire.

"Is no fair first home wrecker now home maker Airen always go for Tendo girl Shampoo no know why!" she paused as she took the time to think a bit about it. "Actually Shampoo think she know why any boy go after Home maker girl Kasumi."

Cologne chuckled "Indeed child Kasumi-san is indeed a very beautiful woman both in body and in spirit. Her future husband, whoever he may be, will be a very lucky man." Cologne paused as an idle thought passed through her mind. Thinking it over, she shook her head. 'Kasumi-san is too traditional for that kind of thing.' She chuckled to herself as another thought came to mind 'I wonder how she would react if I asked her?'

Shaking her head once more Cologne looked up when Kasumi called out to her. "Obaa-san Akane-chan, Ranma-kun, and I are going to head out. We don't want our Otou-san to worry about us." She faintly heard Akane mutter "Speak for your self Kasumi-nee-san."

Smiling she called back "Okay dears come back soon" chuckling she returned to her duties.

As the trio made their way home Akane glanced at both of her companions. "Alright everyone agreed that no one is to mention what we saw near Nabiki-nee-chan right?" Both Kasumi and Ranma nodded their heads rapidly not wanting anything to do with Nabiki's little dream.

Kasumi sighed as she announced their return as she walked into the living room Ranma not far behind her while Akane went to change into her Gi. Ranma quickly noted that Genma was glaring at him and hissed in annoyance.

Genma snarled back and stood up as if to jump at his son. "You ungrateful brat why do you insist on staying like that? Buckle down like a man should and take responsibility!" he roared as he jumped at Ranma fully intent on beating his son down.

Ranma hissed in anger as he jumped away and raked his claws along Genma's back, not giving Genma any time to recover Ranma quickly batted Genma out of the room and into the koi pond in the back yard. When Genma did not come back Ranma calmed down and curled up near Kasumi's spot at the table.

He didn't get to relax long when Nabiki came into the room and sat down next to him. Glancing warily at her he let out a quiet "Nyaa?" obviously questioning her decision to sit next to him instead of her usual spot.

Nabiki grinned down at him and licked her lips. "Well I just wanted to let you know Ranma-kun…" she licked her lips again sending a shiver down Ranma's spine. "…that I decided to buy some things to make that dream of mine a reality." She giggled as Ranma's face went deathly pale as he bolted out the door and onto the roof for some relative safety.

Soun looked up from his morning newspaper and looked around. "Where did Ranma-kun go?" he asked lightly.

Nabiki giggled "On the roof Otou-chan"

Soun shrugged his shoulders as he went back to reading "The boy must have a lot on his mind if he went to the roof."

Nabiki smirked to herself as she thought 'You have no idea how right you are Otou-chan.' Her grin threatened to split her face as Akane sweat dropped having just walked into the room.

"Do I even want to know?" she asked out loud.

Soun shook his head eyes not leaving the paper "Most like not Akane-chan most likely not."

Akane decided that it was probably for the best to leave it at that and made her way into the dojo where she began to work out. 'Nabiki-nee-chan is really starting to creep me out.' She idly thought to herself unaware that two others shared her thoughts.

Kasumi who had what some people called the "Mother's ears," hearing so good that they heard anything said within their home, had heard Nabiki's declaration and was silently hoping that it was some sort of crude joke Nabiki was playing.

Ranma was having similar thoughts as he sat on the roof over looking the Tendo yard. 'Geez Nabiki doesn't even need martial arts to force others to do what she wants, now she even has more leverage over me.' Never let it be said that Ranma didn't understand tactics. 'Hopefully she won't take advantage of it I really don't want to be roped into anything remotely similar to that dream.'

He was broken from his thoughts when he heard a very familiar shout "Ranma prepare to die!"

End

Alright I know I haven't updated in a while but, well school is hard right now. I'm not doing so well in my AP Calculus class so I've been trying to get better. (Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working as I seem to mess up on all of my tests.)

Anyways I want everyone to know that I am a very slow updater during the school year, for those who hadn't already figured it out yet.

I would also like to point out that Fanfiction has deleted my story Way of the Pervert I guess they didn't like me trying to redo that story despite the author having obviously abandoned it. I will try to modify what I had and repost at an unknown time.
