Azure: Oh gods I can't take this...argh! Screw going all the way to October dammit! *continues ranting * I'm ending early dammit, school is already giving me a migraine and I'm not even back in the states yet!!
Nyx:....as you can tell Azure is getting a little frustrated with the school-URK *is grabbed by Azure *
Azure: The stupid school isn't even SENDING us to places where we can get our cases!!! Argh!! *rantrantrant *
Nyx: *coughs and straightens out his shirt * Shouldn't you get on with this?
Azure: *grumbles * Yeah yeah. Oh and before I forget I wanna show everyone the stats for this fic so far! 10,185 hits, 8 C2s, 50 favs and 91 alerts! Thanks for the great stats everyone!! Anyway, now I know how my mom deals with those long work hours *sweats * anyway some reviewers had questions and here are my responses to them:
SolarTiger: that's not a bad idea, I was wondering how to introduce Ranma's aliens to Gwen. That could really work and I got this funny idea just now on Gwen's reaction to Ranma in Quillback's forms *snickers *
Skye Silverwing: thanks for your thoughts on the fic and about Ben's role in the fanfic. I know it focuses mainly on Gwen but I want Ben to get some action...not sure about giving him one of Ranma's fiancee's though (although I did get the idea to have Ben's alien's accidentally beat Shampoo *coughs * )
Princess Asuna: Ahahahaa now that's something Gwen would do if Ben did something to really irritate her XDDDD
Dragon man 180: Lol thanks for you continued support so far!! its' really appreciated and yeah I can see Ranma enjoying Quillbacks world (Sonic games just rule XDD )
PEJP Bengtzone: Hmm interesting thoughts, but with Ryoga I'm going to keep him relatively good here (he'll still have the whole "PREPARE TO DIE RANMA SAOTOME) bit going though. The idea of Ben getting hit by water because of Mousse is an interesting concept that seems rather plausible to happen since this is Nerima...I hadn't thought about Nyx touching Ben's omnitrix but it would make sense since the omnitrix has absorbed other alien DNA like that in the series (Benwolf, BenMummy and BenVictor (Frankenstein) ) When Genma, Akane find out about the omnitrix Genma would see it as a cure when he sees Ranko as would the others, the bit with Akane is nice idea to think about as well. Thanks for you input!
Goku90504 : *blinks * er...well yeah I just now realize that's how Shampoo came into the series but like I stated in the beginning this is an AU so technically I am allowed to change events a bit. As for how long Ukyo's been there....well I kinda time skipped with that. I know writing day by day is usually the way to go but I didn't want to write up how Ukyo came in, and I do realize I am skipping a bit and I feel that maybe I'm going to fast so I'll try to slow it down a bit I guess. I thought the chapters connected pretty well though but it could be just me. And there are just so many cannon events I don't plan to do ALL of them, maybe some major events. Yes I realize I'm not following the way the anime shows it but then again I like mixing events and skipping to certain ones that I found most interesting.
Nyx: *reads a check-list * Don't forget the recent poll
Azure: Oh yeah! Well the poll on who Ben should be paired with between Julie or Charmcaster! Well here are the results thus far:
Charmcaster: 14 votes
Julie: 13 votes
Azure: As you can see Charmcaster once again takes the lead by one vote. Like I said I'm keeping this open for a while because I'm still not sure exactly when I'll have Ben be paired up and with whom. I'm still trying to get a basis written for each chapter so I'll probably have the poll up for another uh two or three more chapters before I close it and have Ben paired with whoever has the most votes. *laughs * also on who the characters I used in the last chapter in the bakery where Nyx worked, they're from the manga "Skip Beat" although, I'm getting into Katekyo Hitman Reborn *coughs * ehehe
Nyx: *shakes his head * uh huh ...Oh another thing at the end of the chapter, Azure would your input on another matter. She'll be skipping some events in the Ranma series but some is going to try and put a few in. There is a list of major and minor events in considering to put in this fanfic to make it longer and involving more Ranma based events instead of just creating her own.
Azure: well that's about it for now! Thanks to everyone for staying with me so far *grins * So enjoy the chapter and let me know what events you guys think I should use!
"Lord Vilgax I bring you some news!!" a robotic voice sounded from the mask the soldier wore as it walked as fast as it could. The green towering alien was sitting in his chair in the control room and growled angrily at the soldier as he glared down down at it.
"This had better be good news..."
"It-it is sir...it had taken a while sir but we THINK we might've located the uh SECOND omnitrix..."
"and it only took you peons this long to find it? You have better had found the EXACT location." the squid like alien scowled. The solider nodded as he shakily held out a piece of paper he was holding before getting a low growl from the alien to read it. The alien gulped as it knew when it read the results the reaction wasn't going to be pleasant...
"It..*ahem * appeared to landed on...Earth..."
"You mean to tell me that SECOND omnitrix is on the same blasted planet as that irritating Tenneyson!?" Vilgax practically roared crushing the arms of his chair making the messenger quiver.
"Uh-uh-uh-uh ye-yes sir...its...its on a smaller land then where the first one had landed..." the voice replied afraid of getting dismantled.
"And where exactly is this one located?" Vilgax stated.
"Its...its in a small series of islands in the eastern hemisphere of the planet sir...no where near the heap of land the Tenneyson's omnitrix is at." the messenger replied.
"Good...that last thing I need is that meddlesome family to get involved. Set a course for those islands NOW!!!"
"Ye-yes sir!!!" the crew shouted running around to turn the ship around and head towards Earth.
'The chances of meeting those bothersome Tenneyson's may be low, but if I DO run into them I will pay them back....' the squid alien thought to himself as he glared out the window at the blue planet.
The first few minutes of the strange girl hugging Ranma was amusing, but after about what seemed like a half hour or more, Gwen started to sweat as she watched Ranma starting to turn blue in the face from the obvious lack of air. Meanwhile Ukyo and along with Akane had come up to see who was hugging the aqua magnet, just glaring angrily into the back of the chinese girl's skull. Seeing as the other two girls were too angry to move she walked up to Shampoo and tapped her on the shoulder getting her attention. The girl turned towards her and looked at her suspiciously as Gwen pointed to Ranma who's skin was turning a nice shade of dark blue.
"I'm sure you made your point with how...ecstatic...you are seeing Ranma-kun again..." Gwen said, "but I do believe he'd like to BREATHE some time soon." Shampoo was confused what the american girl was talking about until she got a good look at her precious 'airen' in her arms.
"Aiya!! Shampoo so so sorry!! Just too happy seeing Airen again!!" the girl said quickly releasing her hold on the boy and letting him crumble to the ground gasping for breath.
"Wha-wha..*gasps *....are you doing here...*wheeze *...Shampoo. " Ranma gasped out as his skin tone was returning back to normal.
"Silly airen, after Ranma beat Shampoo again and showed problem from springs, Shampoo had to return to village to talk to great-grandmother about problem airen have!" the amazonian girl replied cheerily.
"Hold the phone there girly!!" Ukyo shouted finally stepping up and saying something. "What's all this about Ranchan beating you AGAIN and just why the hell do you keep calling him 'airen'!?"
Shampoo tilted her head cutely to the side as she looked at the raging Ukyo.
"Airen mean husband. Is amazon laws on male outsider. Male outside beat amazon woman give kiss of marriage." Shampoo replied in a matter of fact voice. "Ranma beat Shampoo so now Ranma Shampoo's husband!"
"WHAT!?!?!?"
The girls turned to Ranma who had joined in yelling and looked just as shocked as the girls did.
Gwen could only laugh nervously, "ahahaha whoa that's some tradition...."
"Didn't you KNOW about that Ranchan!?" Ukyo exclaimed pointing an accusing finger at the smiling amazon girl.
"NO!! and if I did I never would've fought her!! Argghhh!!" Ranma groaned slumping down and clutching his head. "dammit the one time I should've listened to Pops and just run away I don't listen!!!"
"Ranma..." Akane said still glowering at Uyko and the newly acquainted finance, " why don't you start at how all this happened?"
Ranma sighed as he looked up at the awaiting group of girls.
"Well if I remember this right it happened after Pops, Nyx and I fell into the springs and were in the guide's house...." he started.
Flashback....
"So...since we fell into those springs all three of us are cursed forever to change into what we fell into via cold water is what you're saying?" Nyx asked in a deadpanned voice staring at the guide.
"Yes sir. That is correct." the guide replied nodding while Nyx rubbed the bridge of his nose.
'By the goddesses of Scythia this is going to be more irritating then I thought..' Nyx thought to himself as he tried to ignore Ranma yelling at Genma and chasing him around outside of the guide's house. "is it possible to lead us out of this area so we don't run into any MORE trouble??" he added.
"Yes sir please follow me and..." he started when there was a crash outside and the two walked out to see Genma had tripped over a few buckets of water that he hadn't seen making Ranma and Genma transform into their cursed forms.
"Having fun you two?" Nyx couldn't help but asked.
"Oh shut it Nyx-niisan!!" Ranma growled glaring at the panda in front of her, "I was trying to get Pops for making us come here in the first place!! stupid old man you can't even read one chinese letter!!!"
::Stop whining like weak girl!!:: The sign said that Genma brought out making the boy turned girl pissed again and jumped kicked him breaking the sign into splinters.
"Quiet you!!! This is all YOUR fault in the first place that I AM a girl!!!!" Ranma seethed pointing an angry finger at the panda.
"It's kind of pointless to argue at this point Ranma, what's done is done. What we should do is focus on how to get out of here..." Nyx said as he shouldered his bag. "I mean what ELSE could we possible run into all the way out here?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~
"What else could we POSSIBLY run into out here, " Ranma said sarcastically as she was running with Nyx next to her and a familiar fat panda behind her. "there couldn't be anything WORSE then falling into a curse spring huh?"
Nyx in his wolf form just growled at the girl as they moved as fast as they could, hearing a deep thundering from above them as the rain continued to fall, looking behind her Ranma glowered at the fat panda following them.
"Dammit pops are you TRYING to go for a record of getting us in trouble more then once a DAY!?!?" she cried out at the animal. "you just HAD to go and eat that food didn't you!?"
The panda made a gruff noise before pulling out a sign from who knows where.
::You ate some too boy!! don't put all the blame on me!!:: the sign said.
'For once the panda man has a point...' Nyx thought to himself as he threw Ranma a knowing look making the said teenage boy turned girl glare at him.
"Unlike Pops I only had half of what he still ate!!" she argued.
'doesn't mean a thing since you still ate from it and got those women all pissed at you...' Nyx thought still looking at Ranma who scowled back.
"I just know you thought of something that has to do with the situation and what was I suppose to do! I had no choice and you know it, it was either fight or give you up!! and the latter is NOT an option pops!!" the girl shouted back at the panda who looked like he was about to comment about it.
Nyx nodded and had been surprised at the sudden option Ranma was been given when the champion of the tournament had demanded that either she fight or she would take Nyx away from her. Of course Ranma protested in suddenly using Nyx as a bargaining chip and shouted at the girl why she wanted Nyx in the first place.
'Wolf usually not found in parts near village. Look very strong. Good for hunting and tracking unlike too stupid panda pet.' the girl had said and the guide had translated for him.
Of course that just settled it for Ranma, she was not about to give up Nyx just because of something her stupid pops and she sorta did and ended up challenging the champion...though the last thing she expected was when the girl lost was to kiss her on the cheek and swear to hunt her to the ends of the Earth to kill her!
"Man that is one screwed up village..." Ranma muttered to herself, she squinted her eyes as she thought she saw lights in the distance. "hey I think we're getting near some town. Hopefully we can find some shelter around there and rest."
The three of them hurried over to the town in hopes to find an empty lot where they could set up tent and maybe get some food...and keeping an eye on a certain panda so that he doesn't try to pull anything else to get them in trouble. They got into the small town and stood in front of an inn. Ranma reached over into the backpack still strapped onto Nyx's back and took out a small pouch that Genma eyed and before the Panda could lunge for it he was stopped when his paw was nearly bitten as Nyx stood between the panda man and the female Ranma, making the said teen smirk.
"You're not getting your hands on THIS money pops, Nyx-niisan and I know better then to leave anything out for you to take for yourself." she stated sticking her tongue out at the panda before walking into the Inn.
It took only a few minutes for Ranma to pull the whole 'defenseless-girl' act with the big water eyes to have the guy behind the counter a melting pile of goo letting her have a room half price and letting the pets stay. Unfortunately before she could get into the bathroom the large panda used its size to get into the bathroom first, albeit tight fit through the door before he was fully inside making the other two wait on the bed. Ranma sighed and scratched Nyx behind the ears amused at his wagging tail.
"You're really cute like this Nyx-niisan, " Ranma laughed, "maybe I should get you a collar so no one gets the bright idea of stealing you from me!"
'Don't even think of it brat....' Nyx thought as his eye twitched,
making Ranma fall back on one of the beds laughing as she held her stomach.
"Ahahahahaha!!! I'm sorry but I couldn't help it!! you almost looked like a puppy with your tail wagging so eagerly!!" she choked out through her laughter.
Nyx glared at the tail as it all this was its fault. Ranma continued to snicker at Nyx while the alien turned wolf continued to give her the evil eye. All of sudden Nyx's ears twitched as he heard something outside that wasn't the rain pounding on the roof. Trotting to the window the wolf looked behind the glass and thought he saw some movement but it disappeared in the next moment. Ranma walked up behind the wolf and peered outside as well wondering what had suddenly gotten his attention.
"Saw a stray cat or something Nyx-niisan?" Ranma joked.
'hahaha very funny I forgot to laugh...' Nyx thought in a deadpanned voice before he shook his head. 'I must be seeing things....' the wolf thought as Genma emerged from the bathroom and Ranma quickly ran past the old man and into the room.
Seeing that there were only two beds Nyx decided to just sleep in his wolf form as he jumped onto one of the beds and settled down while giving Genma the evils as if daring him to do anything stupid. Genma just glared back at the wolf. The two had a staring contest and you could almost see the lightning shooting from their eyes at one another. When Ranma came out as a male out of the bathroom he rolled his eyes and threw a bar of soap at Genma.
"Lay off pops lets just get some sleep, after what happened I'm tired." Ranma said as he crawled into the bed where Nyx was lying on top of in his wolf form.
"Lazy boy, you need to train more if you're tired already from that small run..." Genma muttered turning off the lights and pulled the blankets over his fat body.
"Whatever pops...." Ranma mumbled out before yawning and turning over to his side and falling asleep quickly.
Later in the night Nyx's ears twitched again as he lifted his head up and looked around. The moon was full and shining through his window and the wolf frowned.
'what the hell...I thought I heard something AGAIN...urgh I know I had sensitive hearing but this is ridiculous...its like I'm paranoid from every little sound...' the alien grumbled to himself as he laid his head back down and was about to go back to sleep when his eyes widen and this time took time to actually listen to whatever it was that was irritating his senses.
'….okay now I definitely heard something this time....' he thought to himself, his nose picked up a scent as well. 'what the...smells like...uh almost sweet? Like uh perfume or something...?'
His eyes widened when he suddenly saw a shadow leap from one of the pieces of furniture and towards the bed that Ranma was currently snoring on!! Thinking quickly the wolf jumped off the bed and grasping the blankets with his mouth gave a quick strong yank, pulling the snoring boy towards him and eventually off the bed just in time before the weapons made the feathers in the pillow go flying around.
"OUCH!! What the hell Nyx-niisan didja hafta pull me off the bed!?" the now irrate boy growled out.
Before you could even give Nyx a chance to bark literally, back to him he heard the bed creak and leapt back just in time to avoid getting hit. "Whoa!! who the hell are you!??" Ranma cried, as he stared at the figure now standing on the floor in front of him.
"You I kill!!!" was the only thing Ranma heard and quickly scrambled away from his attacker in the dark and trying not to run into any furniture in the process.
He did nearly trip a few times over Nyx who tried to move out of the way but ended up crashing into Ranma's legs a few times. Ranma fought back once he got his footing back and at the attacker's next lunge he grasped their arm and threw them over her shoulder and onto the ground, kicking away the dropped weapons they had let go when he had grasped their arm. There was some shuffling and Genma mumbled something incoherently as he turned on the light and blinked as he picked up his glasses to stare at the sight of a half destroyed room and his son holding the arm of some strange girl.
"Boy...what is going on here?....isn't that the girl from the village that uh oh...." Genma said sweating as he recognized her as the purple haired woman who had challenged Ranma earlier for eating the food meant for her.
Ranma could only nod as he stared as well letting go of the girl, seeing that she didn't seem to attack him anymore. The two just stared a bit before the girl moved towards him once more and Ranma backed away from her as much as he could before his back hit the wall. The pig tailed martial artist sweated when the girl grasped his face and kissed his cheek. Before the girl could say anything else the stunned panda man tripped on the bedsheets as he tried to get out of the bed and his arm went flying and hit the vase with a few flowers in it that headed towards Ranma. The boy caught the vase easily, but he caught it upside down letting the cold water inside and flowers fall on his head. Now the girl was in shock as she watched the boy transform into the girl that had defeated her earlier.
"Jusenkyo?"
Ranma heard the girl mutter before grabbing her weapons and breaking through the window as she disappearing into the night.
Ranma and Nyx looked out the broken window sweating.
"Uh...maybe the owner won't notice the broken window and the mess?" the now Ranma said laughing nervously as Nyx sighed as much as a wolf could.
'why do I get the distinct feeling this is really going to come back to bite us later?' was the only thought going through the wolf's head as he went back to the still barely standing bed and jumped on it. A few seconds though the bed creaked and then the legs gave out making the pig tailed boy stare at the now broken bed.
"Oh boy......"
End of Flashback..........
"And that was the last I saw of her!!! I didn't know what the heck she was doin' during that time!!" Ranma said trying to defend himself.
Although it did little to calm the other two down. The parts that Ukyo and even Akane only paid attention to were the parts where the purple haired amazon had KISSED Ranma. Even though it was only on the cheeks she still got to kissed the transgendered boy. Ukyo gripped her spatula tightly as she glared at the girl.
"There is no way that I'm going to let Ranchan get taken away by some backwater village girl!!" she stated, "Ranchan is MINE!!"
Shampoo narrowed her eyes as she moved into a fighting position and soon Ukyo leapt and attacked the amazon girl with Shampoo fighting and holding her own against the Okinomiyaki chef. Ranma couldn't help but stare at the two fight and feel a bead of sweat slide down the side of his face. It wasn't until he heard a surprised yelp and turned to see a few mini spatulas embedded in the ground close to Gwen's feet surprising the red haired American girl. Going over to her quickly Ranma helped her up.
"Are you alright Gwen?" Ranma asked.
"Uh yeah...just wasn't expecting that...." Gwen muttered as she glanced at the fight breaking out between the two girls.
"Yeah neither was I but I have a feeling this is going to be a daily occurrence..." grimaced Ranma as Gwen laughed.
"Well this certain is entertaining...." Gwen supplied while Ranma gave her a dry look.
"I'm so glad my life is one big drama for you..."
Gwen just smiled back at Ranma making the pig tailed martial artist feel heat rising to his face.
'she's kinda cute when she smiles like that...' he couldn't help but think to himself before he was broken out of his thoughts when Gwen pulled on his arm towards the school.
"Hahaha sorry Ranma I'll make it up to you later. I know! Why don't you come to Dr. Tofu's place with me after school, you can meet my grandpa and my cousin!" Gwen suggested as they walked to the school, with Gwen still clutching Ranma's arm, not that he minded.
"Uh...sorry Gwen but I promised Nyx-niisan I'd train with him after school." Ranma said in apologetic voice.
"Oh.." Gwen said slowing down and trying to think of something else, "uh well how about we hit the arcade then? I'm sure Nyx-san won't mind if you're out with a friend for a while right?"
//Come on brother go out with Gwen *snickers * I'm sure you two will have a wonderful time together...// Ranko's voice said in his mind. The male couldn't help but get a mental twitch at the undertone he could distinctly hear in what Ranko just said.
//whatever it is you're thinking its not it sis!!// Ranma argued back
//what are you talking about dear brother?// Ranko replied innocently, //why so defensive on going OUT with a GIRL after school?//
Suddenly it finally clicked in Ranma's head and Gwen looked up at the martial artist that had suddenly turned red.
"Ranma?"
//IT'S NOT A DATE SIS!!!!//
//Suuuuurrreee whateeeevverrr you say brother...//
//Ranko it isn't!! Gwen is just being nice because she teased me earlier!! it ain't a date!!//
//uh huh yeah I'm sure THAT'S the reason brother dearest and calling her 'cute' when she smiled was a spur of the moment thing...//
//.....STAY OUT OF MY OWN THOUGHS WHEN I'M THINKING TO MYSELF RANKO!!!//
//*giggle * kinda hard when I'm in your head and can hear EEEVVVERRRYYYYTHING you broadcast...along with the others....//
//........please don't tell me Vale, that harpy and any other aliens are hearing our argument right now...//
//Hmmm well Vale finds the situation amusing, Kazehime is in agreement with me and Quillback is rolling on the ground clutching his stomach as he's laughing his tiny tail off if that helps brother!//
//hate you all.....//
//Hehehehe love ya too brother!! now ya might wanna stop arguing with me cuz your cute little red head is wondering whats wrong, and by cute little red head I meant Gwen-chan not me.//
//You are SO not cute sis....//
//bye bye have fun on your daaaaaaatteeeeeee!!!//
//DAMMIT STOP BROADCASTING IT TO THE OTHERS RANKO!!!//
" HEY RANMA!!!" Gwen shouted clapping her hands in front of the martial artist's face trying to get his attention.
She had been wondering what happened when he suddenly seemed to be having a mental battle with himself as his face showed different expressions like he was arguing with someone. It had been going on for almost more then five minutes and Gwen had been getting worried. When she saw the stormy blue eyes focus on her he got a sheepish look.
"Sorry Gwen-chan uh...I was just trying to remember what time Nyx-niisan wanted to meet with me to train." Ranma said.
"Oh don't worry about it." Gwen replied smiling before she realized what Ranma had called her. "uh did you just call me Gwen-chan?"
"Ack!! S-s-sorry!!" Ranma said turning red again embarrassed that he had called her something Ranko had said in his head. Didn't help that said girl was suddenly laughing at him again.
//ahahahahahahaahaha!! that's so ADORABLE brother!!//
//NOT HELPING RANKO!! I BLAME YOU!!//
"It's alright Ranma!! I was just surprised." Gwen said giggling. "you can call me that if you like."
"Ye-yeah sure...so the arcade after school right?" Ranma said coughing and trying to calm down his blushing face.
"Uh huh I think it'd be fun playing video games again." Gwen said and Ranma looked at her.
"Video games?" he asked.
"You seriously never played a video game before?" Gwen asked her eyes wide and immediately started to name off some common arcade or general games, " Pac-man? Mrs. Pacman? Street fighter? Mortal combat? Sumo slammers? Dark Stalkers? Dance Dance Revolution? House of the dead? Capcom VS SNK? Initial D first stage driving game? Bubble popper? Air hockey? Para para? Pokemon? Alien invasion? TETRIS!?"
Gwen could feel her mouth literally dropping when Ranma hadn't heard or play any of those games that she and Ben had practically grew up with more or less.
'Must be because of his traveling...he did say he has been on the road for at a whole ten years...' she thought to herself.
"Well guess that's the first thing I'll show you when we go to the arcade okay? I'm sure you'll like the games because a lot of them are fighting games!" she said. When Ranma heard the word 'fighting' he got an eager grin on his face.
"Really now...I can't wait Gwen-chan." Ranma laughed, looking forward to the end of the school day.
Just as the bell signaling the end of lunch, both their stomachs growled having been neglected, having been interrupted by a certain amazon as Ranma recalled landed her bicycle on his face making him drop Kasumi's bento he had been holding.
"Aww man I practically wasted that bento Kasumi made for me and I barely got a bite!!" the pig tailed martial artist groaned.
"Uh...here!" Gwen said rummaging around in her bag and pulled out a bag of trail mix with peanut M&Ms, handing it to Ranma. " I know its not much but I didn't really pack much for lunch today."
Ranma took the bag gratefully and munched on it.
"Oh well, think we can get something to eat before we go to the arcade?" Ranma asked as he tossed a few cashews up and caught them in his mouth.
"Yeah sure, I think there should be a cafe or something near it we can get food before we play." Gwen replied. "so tell me more about your Niisan. He seems like an interesting person."
Ranma grinned, "he is more or less...anyway..."
As the two were talking they failed to realize the attention they had brought upon themselves when Gwen had pulled Ranma away from the fray between Ukyo and Shampoo. The three girls left behind could only stare at the guy two of the three were fighting over had just been pulled away by Gwen!! It wasn't only them that had taken notice to Ranma's exit with Gwen, the remaining students who were eating outside had caught sight of the brawl and had been watching since Shampoo arrived to gawking at Ranma leaving the three behind in favor of staying with the new transfer student.
"Hey do you think Gwen is one of Ranma's finance's like those girls?"
"Don't think so but if she is then she probably has a better chance then those three, you saw how easily she grabbed Ranma's attention and pulled him away from that cat fight."
"True...and Akane wasn't even fighting for him do you really think they're engaged? Since usually wouldn't she be fighting against those two as well?"
"who knows...but I don't know wether I should congratulate the guy or feel sorry for him"
"I think in this situation it qualifies, what I wouldn't want to see is someone getting caught up in the fight between those girls."
Shampoo narrowed her eyes at the red haired girl that was talking so happily and close to Ranma.
"Who strange girl with airen?" she demanded looking at Ukyo and Akane who looked just as mad.
"That's Gwen Tenneyson....she came here to visit her with her grandfather..." Akane growled out still watching their retreating backs.
Shampoo narrowed her eyes as her fists clenched angrily.
"Shampoo see, she obstacle....."
"AC-CHOO!!" a sudden cloud of flour suddenly enveloped the kitchen as a certain alien had been sneezing fervently for the past five minutes.
"*sniffs * sorry Mogami-san, " Nyx apologized his nose still twitching a bit, " I never sneezed this much before..."
The pastry chef next to her just laughed and shook her head at the new employee.
"Its alright! Hahaha you know there's an old saying that when you sneeze someone is talking about you behind you back." Kyoko said smiling as Nyx let out his own laugh.
"I probably have an idea who's talking about me..." he replied and glanced at the clock. "oh its already past lunch...shoot would you mind if I took my break now? I promised a friend I'd take her out for lunch."
"Ooooo Valeth-san has a date!!" Kyoko giggled making the alien sweat and scratch the back of his head nervously, a habit he had picked up from Ranma.
"Uh I really wouldn't call it a date Mogami-san, its more like a friend's outing since she doesn't get out much..." Nyx tried to explain but Kyoko just continued to giggle.
"What ever you say Nyx-san!! have fun and don't forget I still have to show you how to decorate later!!" Kyoko called out as Nyx patted his flour covered hands on his apron before taking it off.
"Sure thing Mogami-san. I'll inform Tsuruga-san I'm going on my break." he added as he walked out of the kitchen and saw the owner working the cash register with another man in short silver hair and glasses.
"Oh and who might you be?" the man in the glasses asked as he rang up a slice of cake for the girl in front of him.
"He's our new personal repair man and part time working Yashiro-san. Meet Nyx Valeth." Ren replied patting Nyx on the back. "Kyoko-chan had a little mishap with one of the ovens and he fixed it surprisingly fast."
"Ah I see well welcome to the family of Dark Moon Delicacies." Yashiro said grinning.
"Its nice to be here. Oh Tsuruga-san I'm going to go get my friend and take her out for the afternoon for a bite to eat." Nyx said.
"Sure, why don't you bring her here, that way she could sample Kyoko-chan's new cake recipe." Ren said grinning, "she has been dying to get some subjects for her taste test."
"Sure..but why doesn't she just let you and the others taste her new cakes?" Nyx asked.
"She's afraid if it'll turn out bad that we won't say anything and just be polite about it." Yashiro replied laughing. "so she likes giving her new recipes to some of the customers and see their reactions."
Nyx smiled at that. He had only been her for a few hours but it was a very homely environment to work in.
"Sure, I'm sure my friend would love to try a new recipe she's a cook herself." Nyx said.
"Even better!" Ren said.
"But...are there going to be any seats left? Its rather crowded..." Nyx said looking around the cafe and he was right. All the tables and chairs looked like all of them were occupied but Yashiro waved his hand at Nyx's concern.
"Oh don't worry about that we can just add another one just for you and your friend." He replied.
".....she isn't a date you realize..." Nyx said raising an eyebrow while Yashiro whistled innocently as he worked the register. Seeing that he wasn't going to get an answer he just waved to Ren before heading out of the cafe to pick up Kasumi from the Tendo dojo.
'Its not a date....I'm just taking Kasumi out because she needs something else to occupy her time that doesn't include household chores....' the alien thought to himself, 'besides it wouldn't be fair to Aria and Zachary....'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You work HERE Nyx-san!?" Kasumi exclaimed when she followed Nyx to the cafe he promised he would take her to this afternoon. Nyx just blinked owlishly back at the surprised Tendo daughter.
"Eh is it really that impressive I work here? I swear it was a stroke of luck..." Nyx replied.
"But Nyx-san this is one of the top cafe in the ward!! Its next to impossible to get a job here much less a unreserved seat!!" Kasumi stated.
"Wow, I guess I just got lucky?" Nyx said laughing nervously. Honestly he knew the place was popular by how many patrons came to the place and how fast the food was selling but he never expected it to be so high on the social scale here. "anyway the manager has allowed me to bring you here to sample one of the chef's new cakes."
Kasumi looked ecstatic at the thought of trying a new recipe. She smiled brightly as she followed Nyx inside the cafe and nodded towards Yashiro at the register as he walked over to him.
"Yashiro-san this is my friend Kasumi Tendo." Nyx introduced to the silver haired man.
"Its pleasant to meet you Tendo-san." Yashiro replied.
"Oh its a pleasure to be here! I've heard so many good things about this place!!" Kasumi said, "I never really got time to come here or even have enough to probably buy something here."
Yashiro grinned, "well I'm glad we you have a high opinion of us I hope you enjoy your break here. Nyx-san there's a table set up near the window for you. I'll go tell Kyoko-chan you're here with your friend."
Nyx nodded and thanked the man. "Alright, come on Kasumi-san I see the table Yashiro-san is talking about." he said as he weaved in an out of the tables of the other patrons and sat down at the table with Kasumi sitting in front of him. It was long before a happy Kyoko came out of the kitchen holding a tray with two pieces of cake on it.
"I hope you two enjoy this new recipe of mine! Its strawberry mousse cake with vanilla and strawberries between layers with blueberries and raspberries on top!" the bright eyed girl said as the placed the plates in front of them.
"Thank you so much Miss." Kasumi said grabbing her fork and cut a portion of the cake and bit into it. Immediately her eyes widened at how wonderful it tasted, the sweetness of the strawberries combined with the blueberries and raspberries. "its delicious!!"
Nyx watched her reaction and took a bite of his own piece and nodded. "This is very excellent Mogami-san you're a very good cook!"
Kyoko blushed embarrassed.
"Hehe thank you! I'm really really glad you liked it! Now I can talk to Sempai about adding it to the store!" she said. "enjoy you two!" Kyoko added before practically skipping happily back to the kitchen.
"She's a very nice girl Nyx-san and not only do I get to come here but I get to have some cake that no one has tried before! This is really really nice..." Kasumi said, "its been a while since I've had a little fun even for myself..." the eldest Tendo added quietly to herself.
But Nyx had heard it with his ears and looked at Kasumi frowning a bit.
"I know your family has needs and all but you don't need to devote all your time doing the household chores. I mean, does your father have a job he does?" Nyx asked.
"Not really, unless you count him being on the city council but not an actual paying job." Kasumi replied as she ate more of her cake.
"Why don't you talk to him and see if he can I don't know, sweep the patio or something and the panda man as well. They don't really do anything but play shogi, eat and drink. I'm sure they can take time out of their 'busy' schedule to do something." Nyx tried. Kasumi bit her lip.
She HAD been considering in asking her father to help around the house. With Nyx and Ranma joining the household things had gotten crowded and her work seemed to increase...well not that much since Nyx and occasionally Ranma helped her out. Nabiki was busy with her own things and Akane seemed to be in her own little world to help her.
"I'll...talk to my father when I get back and see if he can at least do the dishes and sweep before he plays shogi with Uncle Genma...." she said after a few minutes.
"See that's the spirit. I'm sure if he helps out you're sure to get more time yourself." Nyx said grinning at Kasumi who gave a small smile back in appreciating. The two had small talk throughout the time they had together before they finished and Nyx walked Kasumi back home before going back to the shop to finish his shift.
"And this is Street Fighter! One of the oldest games you could see in an arcade but its still fun nonetheless." Gwen said pointing to a machine with two characters fighting each other in a flurry of moves.
"Soooo I just mash the buttons and try to defeat the computer?" Ranma asked staring at the machine and its controls. Gwen sighed.
"Well just watch I may not be that good but at least better then Ben at this." Gwen said as she sat down an inserted a game token.
Ranma watched interested as chose to be a fighter in a ripped white training gi with a red band tied around his forehead. The pigtailed martial artist watched as Gwen started to move the character around battling a rather large looking sumo wrestler character, who really used his size against his appoints as his attacks were stronger then Gwen's character. It wasn't until Gwen pulled a combo that Ranma's eyes widened when he heard the computerized voice of the character shout out "Hadoken!" and watched as a blue sphere of energy shot out and knocked the sumo wrestler back killing the rest of his HP bar. Ranma watched glued to the screen as Gwen continued to beat the opponents until her character finally lost their hp bar and it was game over. When Gwen stood up she was surprised to see how close Ranma was to her.
"What was that move you kept using!? The blue energy attack one?" Ranma asked looking atGwen.
"That was one of the special moves that the character I chose had. Each character has a unique set of attacks." the red haired girl explained.
"Hey do you think I could try and pull off that move?" Ranma asked eagerly.
"Uh sure its not that hard really you just need to remember the buttons and joystick movement, here's a game token for you to try Ranma." Gwen said as she was about to hand a token to Ranma but the martial artist shook his head with that grin still on his face.
She suddenly realized what her friend was talking about when he asked if he could 'pull off that move'.
"Ranma....you do know its probably impossible for you to try that...I mean its just a game! You don't even know how it applies in real life!!" Gwen exclaimed. "I mean sure it'd be interesting to actually pull if off but do you even know where to start!?
Ranma pouted at that and Gwen couldn't help but look as Ranma's expression looked liked a lost puppy begging to be taken home.
"Damn...maybe I can ask Nyx-niisan if he knows anything.." Ranma muttered.
"But I thought you said Nyx-san wasn't a martial artist, how would he know?" Gwen asked as Ranma had dropped the idea of trying to learn a video game's character's special move and decided to show Ranma a shooting game.
"Er yeah but he does all this research stuff so maybe he came across something?" Ranma replied laughing nervously, 'or maybe one of the aliens has an idea on how to get that kind of attack working...'
"Well whatever you say. Okay now here we can both play!" Gwen said as she stood in front of another machine with two plastic guns.
"House of the Dead 2?"
"Its a game where you basically shoot zombies."
"....er...are you serious?"
"Its just a game Ranma," Gwen said inserted two game tokens in the slots, " besides maybe it could help you with accuracy or something in case you get ganged up on."
Ranma raised an amused eyebrow before he grabbed the plastic gun out of his hostler and watched the introduction to the game.
"But seriously....zombies?"
"You really need to get out more....really..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So did you have fun Ranma?" Gwen asked as they finally left the arcade. The martial artist couldn't help but grin as he nodded towards the American Girl.
"Yeah a lot of those games were interesting, especially those fighting games you showed me." Ranma replied. "hmmm I wonder if its possible...."
"Ranma you're seriously not thinking about trying to pull off moves you saw in a GAME?" Gwen asked a bit exasperated.
"Hey you never know unless you try ya know!" Ranma replied.
"Okay that's true but isn't there something with physics or chemistry involved?" the girl asked.
"I dunno, I'll ask Nyx-nissan he's smart enough for that kinda stuff."
"Yeah good luck with that, did he say where you were going to meet to train in the first place?" Gwen asked.
"Uh it's probably the same place it was yesterday so I don't have to worry about it." Ranma replied yawning. "speaking of training did you ever get to look for your books on different styles of martial arts?"
"Not really," Gwen responded back before laughing a bit, "as soon as I got back to the clinic I asked Grandpa if he could register me at the school. Hey do you think you can train me a bit?"
"Eeeh? I don't know Gwen-chan..."
"Hm? Is the great Ranma Saotome afraid he doesn't live up to his own self-proclaimed standards of being the best there is around?"
"What!? Of course I'm the best!!"
"Then why so hesitant Ranma-kun?"
"Oi I'm not afraid of anything!! Fine I'll train you just to prove you wrong!!!"
"Yay thank you Ranma!!"
".......you just tricked me just now didn't you?"
//oh she got you GOOD brother, she played your ego like a violin expert....//
//shut it Ranko.....//
//I mean seriously even I saw you dive right into that one head first!!//
//NOT HELPING SIS//
//you made promise and Ranma Saotome doesn't break a promise right?//
//are you TRYING To be more irritating then usual today?//
//hehehe you just make it so easy niisan!!!//
"Hahahaha sorry Ranma but yeah I kinda did..." Gwen said through her giggling.
Ranma facepalms as he gives the satisfied Gwen a weak glare. "fine....I'll train ya a promise is a promise. I'll have to talk to Nyx-niisan about it..."
"What DOES Nyx-san train you in anyway?" Gwen asked as they resumed walking towards the clinic where Gwen was staying.
"Eh...just things....more...uh...I guess you can say thinking power..." Ranma said.
"Basically making you study?" Gwen stated.
"Ehehehehe more or less..." Ranma replied.
The two continued their conversation as they neared the clinic all of a sudden Ranma thought he felt someone approaching them and grabbed Gwen's arm and yanked her back, just in time for a bonbori to hit the spot where she was just standing previously. Gwen's eyes widened at the crater that had appeared when the weapon had made contact with the cement. The two looked up and saw an angry Shampoo as she pointed her weapon at Gwen.
"Oh my god was that for ME!?!?" Gwen exclaimed paling.
Sure she had taken on some powerhouses when she was traveling with Ben and her grandfather but she had used her magic to help her out those times and her martial arts as well. But here she wasn't suppose to since the people here weren't use to that kind of stuff. She was now having second thoughts on that if the girl's fight from lunch was any indication of strangeness in the area.
"Shampoo what the heck are you doing!?" Ranma exclaimed still holding Gwen's arm, which made the purple haired amazon girl narrow her eyes even more as she glared at the red head. She raised her bonbori and pointed it at the surprised American girl.
"She obstacle for airen! Obstacles for removing!" Shampoo said and launched herself towards Gwen.
Once got over her initial surprise of the amazon attacking her, she her footing back she got into a defensive stance waiting for Shampoo to come at her. 'maybe if I mutter out the spell as I move neither of them will notice and just think its a technique...' she thought to herself, trying to quickly think of a spell that wasn't obvious.
But before she could really do anything, out of nowhere Ranma pulled her close and into his arms making Gwen blush furiously as she was held against the martial artist's body and leapt onto the wall just as Shampoo had gotten to where Gwen was.
"Trust me, its best if you DON'T fight her, come on we'll have to get away from her!" starts running along the fence with Gwen. Shampoo stares shocked before leaping off after them.
"Airen get back here with obstacle!!" the amazon shouted.
Ranma looks behind him and shakes his head "Don't need any more problems then what I already have..." he muttered as he moved to housetops and continued running for a bit before dropping down into an alley between some houses, pressing himself against the wall in the shadows with Gwen still in his arms let out a relieved sigh as he watched Shampoo run right above him.
"You alright Gwen-chan?" Ranma asked gently putting the girl on the ground.
"Ye-yeah but what was that all about?" Gwen asked blushing a bit at how close she was to the other boy how she felt strangely happy at how close she was to him in that short time.
Ranma sighed. "Urgh remember how I told you about what happened when I fought her in my girl form?"
"Uh huh she gave you the kiss of death was it?" Gwen said. "waitaminute, you mean to say if I had fought and possibly defeated her I'd be given that as well!?!?"
"And be hunted until the ends of the earth..." Ranma grimly added.
"She's SERIOUS about that!?" Gwen practically shouted as they walked out of the alley.
"Uh huh....so I'd try to avoid fighting her one on one if anything..." Ranma said as Gwen could only mutely nod.
"I know I asked for something more interesting to happen around here but I don't think being on a hit list of an amazon was part of it..." Gwen said putting a hand to her head.
"Welcome to my world Gwen-chan...." Ranma said dryly as they walked out of the alley and Gwen groaned.
"Can't I just get a nice card and leave?" she asked sarcastically making Ranma laugh.
"Sorry but once you get sucked in there's no turning back."
"You should have a warning sign on your back about third parties getting involved." Gwen muttered.
Ranma just shrugged helplessly as the turned around and headed back towards the clinic. Gwen kept looking around incase the amazon decided to come back making Ranma laugh.
"You realize I'd know when she's coming..."
"Uh huh just like how you avoided her bicycle kissing you at lunch today?" Gwen replied raising an eyebrow making Ranma turn red and sputter.
"Hey!! I was busy eating the bento Kasumi made for me!!" Ranma argued back.
"Uh huh keep telling yourself that Ranma I'm sure you'll believe it eventually." Gwen stated grinning at the martial artist as he muttered something under his breath. It was a quiet walk with Gwen occasionally teasing Ranma and just as they got close to the clinic once more a soft sound suddenly had Ranma stiff and frozen.
"Uh Ranma? Did Shampoo come back?" Gwen asked looking around.
But she didn't hear anything relating to the amazon but she did hear a cute mew near her feet and gasped at the adorable calico kitten rubbing against her legs. "oh look how adorable you are!!" she couldn't help but coo as she picked up the tiny thing and cuddled it. "Ranma isn't this the cutest thing you've ever...Ranma?"
"C-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c EVIL THING!!!!" Ranma cried out leaping onto the wall and fall away from the kitten in Gwen's arms. Gwen looked at the adorable kitten mewling in her arms to the frighten martial artist on the wall eyes never leaving the kitten, staring at it as if it was going suddenly change into a demon and attack him.
"....Ranma are you afraid of cats?" Gwen asked slowly as she neared Ranma but that just made Ranma pale even more.
"G-g-g-g-g-get that thing AWAY from me!!!" he cried out. Gwen pouted and continued to hug the cat.
"But it has no mother and I can't just abandon it...ehehe sorry Ranma guess this is where we stop...but I thought you weren't afraid of anything?" Gwen asked.
"I-I-I-I'm not!!! its just those thi-things that makes a difference!!" he stuttered and as the kitten let out another cute mew the hairs on Ranma's back seem to raise and he sprinted off towards the Tendo dojo.
"SORRYGWENCHANGOTTAGOSEENYXNIISANLATEROKAYBYE!!"
Gwen blinked at the trail of dust Ranma left before looking down at the kitten in her arms.
"Well that was different wasn't it? I wonder if Grandpa will let me keep you..."
"Mew!"
As Gwen walked into the clinic with her new companion, she didn't notice she was being watched until the bushes nearby moved and out popped a certain samurai's ninja spy.
"I must tell Master Kuno about this discover...." he said to himself before disappearing.
Ranma was breathing heavily when he got back to the Tendo dojo. "I...got away.....from the hellion..." he gasped out as he headed inside the Tendo household and was surprised when he saw Nyx-san helping Kasumi with dinner. "Uh Nyx-niisan?"
"Hmm? Oh sorry Ranma if you waited for me but I helped out and ended up staying a bit longer at the bakery with Kasumi-san. We didn't know how late it was getting and we just started dinner now." Nyx said as he looked up from cutting some vegetables.
"Kyoko-san was very nice in giving us the rest of her cake for use to take home." Kasumi said happily. "I'm sure the others will love having some of her wonderful cake!"
"As long as no one gets the idea that they can get discounts if they find out I work there so please refrain from mentioning it Kasumi-san..." Nyx said knowing that Genma would try to do just that.
"Alright Nyx-san." the elder Tendo daughter said as she stirred the soup contents a bit more.
"Wait Nyx-niisan you have a job?" Ranma asked.
"Uh huh..." Nyx replied as he dumped the vegetables in the stew. "got it after I helped one of the employees fix their ovens. The manager offered me a job and I took it so now I can help Kasumi with expenses around here."
"Well that's good oh yeah I wanna talk to you later about our training." Ranma said scratching the back of his head nervously on how exactly he was going to say this. Nyx raises an eyebrow and looks at Ranma.
"Yes what about it?" he asked.
"Uh...think we can reschedule a bit I kinda got tricked to train Gwen-chan..." he said muttering the last part.
"You got tricked by Gwen-san....what she play your ego?" Nyx asked and when he was met with silence the alien couldn't help but snicker. "ahahaha alright we can have our training sessions every monday, Wednesday, friday. The rest you can spend for yourself or with Gwen-san..." the alien added sniggering making Ranma groan.
"What the hell is it with everyone thinking I'm dating her!?" He grumbled out as he stomped out of the kitchen and upstairs to the furo.
Dinner was interesting to say the least, Akane kept giving Ranma some nasty glares as the pigtailed boy did his best to ignore it as anything he said to her would more then likely be seen as an excuse for her to clobber him with her mallet. When dessert came, everyone was surprised that Kasumi brought out a beautiful looking cake.
"Kasumi-neechan where did you GET that!?" Akane asked eyes wide.
"Yeah sis and with what money as well?" Nabiki added seeing how intricate the cake was decorated.
"Kasumi is that why you disappeared this afternoon?" Soun asked as Kasumi nodded.
"Oh Nyx-san took me out to this wonderful place called Dark Moon Delicacies and one of the employees was very kind and let us try her new cake!" Kasumi replied smiling, "the reason two slices were missing was because she gave those two slices to Nyx-san and I."
"Wait you mean you and Nyx managed to get SEATS in one of the most popular cafe's in the ward?" Nabiki asked as she eyed the alien sipping his tea quietly. "how did you manage to pull that off?"
"Hmm? Oh I helped the employee a bit with some problems they had and she decided to reward me for helping her with her new recipe." Nyx replied breezily.
"Oi pops don't think you can steal the whole thing for yourself!!" Ranma glared eyeing the panda before stabbing his hand with his fork, "or steal MY piece!!"
"Uh huh hey sis think there's any way you can get me a reservation?" Nabiki asked looking at Kasumi.
Nyx coughed as he had been expecting this and looked at Kasumi as the elder Tendo shook her head.
"I'm sorry Nabiki-chan but I'm not that close with them to ask such a favor." she replied as she poured herself some more tea. "besides Nyx-san was lucky they were nice enough to give us seats today, it was really packed."
The middle Tendo daughter backed down seeing she wasn't going to get anything form her sister, but she did eye Nyx as he was sipping his tea and talking idly to Ranma.
'He managed to get a table there in only one day during the rush time when it usually takes forever to even get into the place....' Nabiki thought to herself as she ate her slice of cake quietly to herself.
Once everyone had finished their cake and Kasumi kept put the rest in the fridge the family separated to their own thing before eventually they all headed to bed to sleep...well most of them slept. Ranma never got around to ask Nyx about an alien that could help him with his idea from earlier so he decided Vale was the next best thing...that and getting back at a certain 'sister' of his for the teasing he endured form her all day. To say the least Ranma slept with a large smirk on his face that night...
Kasumi had come down stairs because she was having a rather difficult time sleeping. Usually she could fall asleep easily but tonight was difficult for some strange reason.
"Maybe some warm tea or milk will help me..." she said quietly to herself as she slipped on her robe to keep warm and her slippers before she exited her room. As she was coming down the stairs she thought she heard noises outside. Tip toeing as quietly as she could she peeked her head out from the corner of the stairs and saw the sliding doors to the backyard opened. Curiosity getting the better of her she moved closer but when she was close enough she covered her mouth to muffle a gasp. There in front of her a silhouette of someone stood there, but not just anyone, what made her gasp was she saw wings come out from the person's back and then suddenly took off into the night.
"An Angel?
Nyx on the other hand was tossing and turning in his bed, growling as he couldn't settle comfortably in one position before his back started to irritate him badly that he had to keep moving! Finally he couldn't take it anymore and sat up scowling as he tossed the blankets off of him and walked out of the room angrily and muttering under his breath. Heading down the stairs he looked around making sure no one was in the kitchen for a midnight snack or training. Seeing that no one was around he slipped into the backyard after sliding the doors opened, where the took a deep breath and brought out his wings that had been irritating him. He stretched his wings as much as he could letting a relieved sigh as his back had finally stopped itching.
"Well...it has been a while since I last stretched these guys out..." he mumbled to himself before clicking the clip in his ear, shedding his human disguise in the darkness of the night and flapping his wings and taking off. He never noticed a certain elder Tendo daughter behind him....
The Next Morning Kasumi moved around in a bit of a dazed still in shock what she had seen last night, but was humming happily.
'I can't believe I saw an angel last night....it must be luck...' she thought to herself as she continued cooking.
"Uh Kasumi-san? Is everything alright?" Nyx asked walking into the kitchen the next morning yawning a bit. He had stayed out longer then he needed to but he supposed it was worth it flying freely for even a little while.
"Oh Nyx-san something wonderful had happened last night!" Kasumi giggled she finished up cooking and handed a few plates to the bewildered alien.
"Eh? What was it Kasumi-san? "he asked but the elder Tendo girl just shook her head still with the smile on her face. Giving the girl an odd stare he shrugged and walked out of the kitchen with the plates and set them on the table. It wasn't long before the other members of the family arrived downstairs and sat down to enjoy the breakfast. Nyx wasn't the only one who had taken noticed of Kasumi's happy demeanor.
"Hey sis what happened last night? Did you have a good dream? "Nabiki asked drinking her coffee and checking the stocks in the paper.
"Oh my, it might've been a dream but I don't think it was." Kasumi replied.
"Exactly what was it then Kasumi?" Akane asked looking at her sister curiously.
"Welll it was late last night and I was having trouble sleeping which was odd, so I decided to head downstairs for some tea or warm milk to help me sleep. " she replied.
When Nyx heard this he could help but sweat a bit.
'oh for the love of the goddesses please don't let her be saying what I THINK she's going to say....!' he thought to himself.
"Uh huh and then?" Nabiki asked putting down the stocks portion of the newspaper wondering what it was that made her sister so happy.
"Well I was about to head into the kitchen and make my drink when I saw the doors to the backyard opened so I quietly made my way there and under the moonlight I saw it...." she said sighing dreamily.
"and what is it?"
"An angel~"
"Are you serious!?"
"*coughsputterschokes *"
"Nyx-niisan!?!? Why are you choking!?!"
"WHAT!?!?!?"
"Are you SURE it wasn't a dream sis?"
"Yes I'm positive I even pinched myself to see if I was really awake and I WAS!" Kasumi defended before smiling happily, "he had such magnificent wings..."
"Ahahah that's really nice Kasumi-san...." Ranma said as he continued to hit Nyx's back as he had choked on his tea form the elder Tendo girl's announcement. Ranma was wondering why Nyx looked especially pale yet he was blushing like he was embarrassed. "You alright now Nyx-niisan?"
Unfortunately Nyx didn't hear it the only thing running through is head was...
'Oh goddesses she DID see me last night!!'
