What If? Chapter 15: Twas The Bad Times And The Good Times, a ranma fanfic

I've finally updated guys!! Sorry for the looong delay. Kinda had other stories that I wanted to write on. But of course, don't worry, I'll finish this one, I promise. Not just now, though. Anyway, this chap is Shampoo's battle with Akane! And we show here how Shampoo and Mousse got to the springs and ended up meeting Ranma and Genma!

Although, I know a lot of you must have a lot of questions on this fic that I still haven't answered. Actually, I'm testing my story writing techniques to answer your questions and bend facts. SO… here are the questions before (excluding those that will be answered in this chapter). I may or may not be able to answer them in this chapter, but keep these questions in mind. I'll reveal the answers soon enough.

When did Ryoga pick up the breaking point technique if he didn't learn it from Cologne?

Correction, question. Haha. So, anyway, I may have forgotten the other questions, so tell me okay? Well, that's all.

Shampoo definitely had it. It was the last straw. Ranma was her boyfriend. And she wasn't going to let one measly 'friend', 'partner' or whatever he calls Akane, keep them away and hug him like that.

She charged Akane and hit her face with a loud and strong slap, determined to cause her the worse pain possible.

Of course that was painful and at the same time, unexpected by Ranma and Akane. Akane didn't even have the chance to defend herself.

"Shampoo! Why'd you do that?!" Ranma asked his girlfriend, seeing as Akane was still surprised and speechless of what happened. Her face was still positioned on how Shampoo hit her. There was left a red hand mark too.

But Shampoo didn't respond to his question. She just then held both of Akane's arms, then slowly gave her a kiss on the lips. The kiss of death.

Akane didn't know what it meant. She was even more dumbfounded than before and still speechless. She just let Shampoo do so, staying shocked with her eyes wide open.

As for Ranma, he understood it completely. "The kiss of…death!?" he exclaimed.

Akane's eyes widened even more on his words, finally comprehending Shampoo's actions. She fell on her knees. "Doshite, Shampoo? Doshite?" she asked, looking down on the ground, yet portraying her question to Shampoo.

"Never ever come near my airen, even again!!" she threatened as she pointed a finger to her. "We'll settle this once and for all. Tomorrow, I'll start killing you slowly."

Akane changed mood and looked really sad, as if she was about to cry. She straight away went to the door to leave Cat Café. However, Ranma wanted to stop her. He pulled her hand, and said, "Don't leave. If you do, I want to come."

Shampoo looked even more infuriated. Ranma was her boyfriend. Why would he leave her for… her.

Akane knew he shouldn't come. It would obviously complex everything. She shook her head. "Stay here. I can get back home on my own. Besides, she's right. She's your girlfriend. I shouldn't have just come here because I had nowhere to go to. Forget everything that happened today."

She then went outside, and went off to home, the only place she could go to then, even though she still was crushed about Ryoga and Ukyo's secret. She just had no choice. It was either get killed today or see your boyfriend with your best friend today. There was no good choice to choose. It was all bad all throughout.

Ranma was speechless until Akane had left. When she was gone, he turned his attention to Shampoo and looked at her angrily. He was just so disappointed at her. "Why did you have to do that, Shampoo?!" he asked, kicking a chair right beside him.

"Airen has Shampoo!! Shampoo's Ranma's girlfriend! Why Ranma angry?! That girl was hugging you! I just told her to back off!" she exclaimed.

This made him even madder. "You didn't have to give her the kiss of death, Shampoo!! You already hit her! She's not as strong as you!" he said as he stomped the ground with his right foot.

Shampoo looked at Ranma seriously. "Ranma likes her?" she asked, sadly.

This caused Ranma to blush so much. He began to ramble, getting off the topic. "Me? Like Akane?! Of course not, of course not!! I mean, she's just a friend. Just a friend. Just my partner in school. Yeah, partner. That's all. What makes you say that? How can I like her? How can I? Besides, she's a tomboy. She may have Ryoga as a boyfriend, but she acts like a lion! I heard that she snores like a lion as well, yeah, very much like a lion. Did I mention I like lions? I like them so much! They're so fierce, oh wait! I take it back!" he suddenly realized. "I hate lions! They're too arrogant, thinking there are no other animals!! Soo arrogant! Defintely!" he tried to say, laughing a bit afterwards.

His girlfriend pouted. She didn't like at all how he acted. It was clear that he had feelings for her. Just by the words he had said, it was drawn on the line, proven. "Ranma, tell Shampoo you still love her!!" she said to him without thinking.

Ranma looked down on the ground. He remembered the time Akane asked him if he did love Shampoo. He knew he never did, but he liked her best, out of all the girls that she met before.

"I never knew if I loved you, Shampoo," he started.

Shampoo became even more depressed and annoyed. Ranma saw this and decided to cheer her. "Though, don't be sad. I like you a lot. I still do. Demo…" He stopped. It was enough to cheer her up like that. "Can we… take a break from this? From… us?" he asked without eye contact to her.

Shampoo hated that moment. She hated it a lot. It caused the start of her misery. It caused her tears. It caused her heart to be broken into little unfixable pieces. As if pieces were really falling down from her, and the debris couldn't be touched and be fixed anymore. "Shampoo shall… settle everything once and for all. Tomorrow, girl dies! Tomorrow, Ranma comes back to me!" she tried to say then left Cat Café still crying.

Ranma was just left really perplexed on what to do. He was flabbergasted of what Shampoo had done to Akane. But he was even more stunned at himself that he broke up with Shampoo. He didn't like how he acted, and never knew that those specific words would ever come out of his mouth and break Shampoo's heart. But he knew, that was what he had felt. He just never knew he had the guts to finally reveal his true feelings.

Shampoo ran to the park crying so much. Her emotions were too intense, too depressed, too angry. She didn't know what to do. All she knew was that she should draw the line once and for all. She talked to her in soliloquy, totally engulfed in her thoughts. She just had to do something to release the tension in her. And talking to herself seemed like the only thing she could do.

"That girl shall die! She shall die!! I can't believe airen broke up with me because of her! I knew I wouldn't get along with her, no matter what Ukyo or Ranma say. She came to my life to steal Ranma! And I surely won't let her! She'll die, she'll die!! Ranma's mine! He's mine! From the moment we met… I fell in love with him, I still even… remember everything that happened…"

Flashback

The scenery showed China, specifically, the cursed springs of Jusenkyo. Ranma and his father, who were still on their escapade, were with the tour guide, reminiscing the beauty of the cursed springs. As they walked closer to the said springs, from the other side came two Chinese Amazons, Shampoo and Mousse.

Shampoo had won the battle against the Amazon women earlier than expected. That was because Mousse, her best friend decided to help her.

And as they were off to their way home, using the shortcut Mousse had just discovered, they saw the springs. Their first instinct was to jump by the bamboo sticks that were in the springs, which they did.

Ranma and Genma, in the other hand, decided to practice training in the springs, totally ignoring what the tour guide had distinctively told them.

They didn't know his words were of such importance. They didn't know that their carelessness would change their lives.

As they trained, Genma tried to push Ranma a couple of times. He once succeeded and Ranma was pushed to Mousse who passed by them, causing Mousse to fall in one of the springs. Fortunately for Ranma, he ricocheted back to his father, since he didn't actually see who or what he bumped into. He just thought it was an inanimate object and decided to go on with their fighting.

Making another attempt to injure his father, Ranma charged Genma. Although, it was the same as before. Genma pushed Ranma, but this time to Shampoo. Shampoo tried to defend herself and hit Ranma, but he blocked her blows in an instant. Shampoo began to fall and couldn't do anything else. In a split second, Ranma reached out his hand to her, which she got.

"Don't let go!" he said to her, as he tried to push her up with all the force he had.

Shampoo looked at Ranma in total trust and did her best not to let go. He defeated her, yet he was saving her. Shampoo obviously became happy of him doing this.

He pulled her up as said, and she was saved.

"You beat me, yet saved me," she said calmly and with a smile.

Ranma scratched his head. "I don't know about beating you, but actually it was just a-"

But then he was cut off by Shampoo who went to kiss him on the lips. The kiss that told him that she was forever devoted to him, being the only guy and the first guy to beat her.

Ranma fell down in surprise, yet still was kissed. He fell down to one of the cursed springs afterwards.

Shampoo got worried and crouched down to see how her 'fiancé' was. To her dismay, his father came from nowhere, who started to charge Ranma with a kick already. But since he fell, Genma hit Shampoo instead. She fell from the bamboo she was on, and off to a different cursed spring.

Nonetheless, she brought Genma who kicked her with him. He resisted, and succeeded, but slipped anyway in recklessness, to another cursed spring.

After a while, the four got out of their springs, though in different forms. Ranma was a girl, Genma was a panda, Shampoo was a cat and Mousse was a duck.

As soon as they got out, Shampoo went to chase Ranma, obviously in love with him already. Genma also began to chase Ranma, to finish their duel. Mousse in the other hand just ran towards them, following Shampoo.

Ranma ran in fear because of her fright in cats. To her luck, the tour guide had a kettle of tepid water, which he poured on all of them. As soon as you knew, they were all back to their normal forms.

They all became happy on seeing their normal body again. But as soon as Shampoo was contented, she fled to Ranma's arms, showering him with kisses.

Ranma wanted to get Shampoo away, and Mousse felt the same. But when Mousse was about to hit Ranma, who was defenseless having Shampoo hold her down, Shampoo finally defended him with a faced palm to his face. "Don't harm him, Moussey! He defeated me. Shampoo gave him the kiss!"

Mousse fell down in sorrow. He really liked Shampoo, and couldn't believe she had done that. He couldn't move, couldn't speak, couldn't do anything. Shampoo gave him the kiss, and there was nothing he could do about it. He knew their traditions, and things did not look good for Mousse.

"Wo ai ni!" Shampoo said after, hugging Ranma even more.

And it pained Ranma too. Shampoo was crushing him with her hug. "Help me out, pops!" he said, reaching out a hand to his father.

Genma didn't accept it and just made a smile. "No, no. I think you have a very beautiful girlfriend. Give her a chance."

And that was the start of their relationship. 'Twas a very memorable day for all of them.

End of Flashback

Back at Cat Café. Ranma sat by a chair and thought for a while. He had recalled the same thing Shampoo recalled. How they met and how they got together.

At first, he really didn't like Shampoo in any intimate way. He did however, think that she was really beautiful. But he didn't judged girls in looks. He knew that he would fall in love with the perfect girl because of his attitude, how she makes him happy, how she makes him fall in love with him every time. He knew that from the beginning.

Cologne then came down to the café and saw Ranma looking so distressed. "What's wrong, son-in-law?" she asked, as she neared Ranma.

"Uh… nothing," he answered, trying to hide everything that had just happened.

"Come on, Ranma. I know you better than that. You can tell me anything."

He eyed Cologne seriously and after that made a big and deep sigh. He tried to think that even though Shampoo was her relative, she would still understand him, knowing him after a couple of years. "I broke up with Shampoo," he vaguely sounded.

Cologne was surprised. It showed by her mouth that opened out wide. What she felt was dissenting to what Ranma expected. "Yo-You-You? You what?! You broke up with my Shampoo!?" She afterwards started to hit him continuously with the staff she had with her always. "Get out of here! Get out! And get your father! You won't live here any longer! You can only do so when you've made up with Shampoo!" she said as she led him upstairs, obviously bringing Ranma to his father's room.

Ranma had no choice from the pain he had accepted. They reached Genma's room in no time, and he opened it without knocking, totally obeying Cologne's command. Genma got a bit mad with him not doing so, since knocking symbolizes respect. But finally, he saw that Cologne was angry. "Your son broke up with Shampoo! Make them get together, or you'll never live here ever again!!" she furiously said, then made an attack to blow them off outside the window.

Genma fell to the backyard instantly, while Ranma got a grip of the roof. Cologne went near his so called 'son-in-law' and positioned her staff to hit his hand. "Do you promise to get back together with Shampoo?" she asked, obviously making proposition.

Ranma looked down. "My decision is final. I'm sorry."

Cologne hit his hand, causing him to fall down. Yet, he broke his fall by falling down on his father.

"Ouch, Ranma!!" he sounded sonorously.

Ranma strut immediately off Genma. He cleaned himself up, and then pulled his father up after.

"Ranma, what were you thinking!? Why did you break up with Shampoo!?" he asked him, blatantly disappointed of his actions.

He looked to the distance, seeing the trees sway and the birds chirp peacefully. "I don't love her. And… I don't like her anymore. As I said, my decision is final."

Genma got shocked of his statement, but knew he had no choice. He knew he couldn't force him to a relationship that he himself denied.

The next day had come upon everybody, and Akane knew it was going to be a very dangerous day. She went to school before Ryoga, yet saw Ranma and his father, who slept by the park.

"Ranma?" she asked, as she woke Ranma up, shaking his body.

Ranma woke up, looking really wasted and a little bit petulant as well. He didn't get a very good night's rest, by the looks of it, and those negative energy from everybody just got to him. "Akane, why are you here?!"

"That should be my question! Why are you and your dad sleeping here at the park?"

He scratched his eye and made a big yawn. "Cologne threw us out of the house. I guess she does have the right. I did break up with Shampoo and… they own the place," he explained.

Akane got speechless for a while. But she finally uttered, "You… broke up with… with… Shampoo? But… but… why?"

He scratched his nose, hiding his blush. "It has nothing to do with you. It was just the last straw. I didn't like her anymore and… she was too overprotective and clingy. I needed my space."

"Oh okay," was all she could get to say. There was afterwards an eerie silence formed. "Hey, since you still have your school stuff, why don't we head off to school now?" Akane finally asked.

"Sure!" Ranma fixed himself a bit and got his things ready for school. "Are you okay with this, Akane? Shampoo may get angry if she sees me with you," he asked, signaling her that he was ready for the day and school.

"She already challenged to kill me, and you already broke up with her. I see nothing wrong about it. Things can't possibly get worse," she said boldly.

Concurrently, she was wrong. Out of the blue, Shampoo appeared with different types of weapons. She started to charge Akane with it.

Akane did her best to avoid them and block the weapons, despite the big surprise. But they were too many for her to handle. She couldn't do it on her own. To her bolt from the blue, she didn't get injured one bit. It was all because Ranma helped her out.

Shampoo stopped attacking when she saw Ranma help. She just looked at Akane with more anger then left them without a word.

"Whew, we made it," Ranma reacted, sighing in the process.

Akane looked at him in a weird way. "Why'd you help me?"

"You're my partner, aren't you? Without you, I'll have to do my school works on my own," he explained with a blush. That wasn't the real reason why he helped her, but he wouldn't admit the real reason to himself or even to her, would he?

Akane chuckled. She then pulled Ranma's hand and off they went to school.

Ryoga went to school all alone and met Ukyo by the way. He ignored her yet she accepted it wholeheartedly. She knew things would be that way anyway. She just walked behind him, as if they didn't know each other and weren't going to the same place.

They reached the classroom, after Akane and Ranma. And as they took their seat, they saw that Akane was still mad at them. It showed by her trying to look anywhere else aside from where they were at.

Ryoga wanted to talk to Akane, but he knew it wasn't time yet. He tried doing so yesterday, when she had returned from Cat Café, but it was no use. She was just too disappointed. Besides, he didn't know it was because a lot of things had her down. He was only one of those things.

Ukyo looked really sad and wanted to talk to Akane as well. She didn't mean for her to hear those things. She may not know what she and Ryoga did on that particular night, but she knew it wasn't pretty.

Unexpectedly, Shampoo came in with Mousse, almost late for class. They weren't wearing the assigned uniforms, like Ranma and Ryoga, but still in their normal Amazon attires. However, it was still clear that they were there for class.

"Shampoo?! Mousse!? What are you two doing here!?" Ranma exclaimed as he stood up in surprise, bumping his desk with his two hands.

"Tell him, Moussey," Shampoo said to her best friend. She just didn't want to talk to Ranma. She was just still so disappointed and angry with him.

"We already enrolled here before. We just decided to come to school now, before we get expelled," he explained calmly as requested.

Ranma remained speechless. This day was clearly starting to be torture for him. Shampoo was determined to finally finish Akane and get him back.

The question is, would she succeed? And what would Ranma do about all the situations?

Well, the questions were about to be answered.

Shampoo and Mousse were formally introduced to the class and were given their own seats. They sat together, Mousse being in a corner while Shampoo was beside Ukyo.

This sent chills to Akane's spine, as well in Ranma's. Akane sat behind Ukyo, and that meant Shampoo was just a few inches behind her. Ranma in the other hand sat beside Akane and knew that Shampoo was a few inches away as well.

The whole time they were in school, all they felt was horror.

Every break or whenever the teacher was out, Shampoo would attempt to attack Akane, while Akane would try her best in defending herself, as well as Ranma, doing his best defending her.

When the teacher would come, Shampoo would stop and act like nothing happened. Akane and Ranma could just do such as well. Thank God for those times.

After classes, it was the moment of truth. Shampoo was determined to finish Akane once and for all. Ryoga was sure to get Akane back. Ukyo was going to do her best so she would be forgiven.

Ranma and Akane in the other hand just wanted to get back home alive.

"I'll walk you home, Akane," Ranma whispered to her.

She blushed in crimson. "Whaat?! What is he thinking? Shampoo's going to kill me even more. Although, if it wasn't for him, I might as well be dead now.

"Uh… sure," she shyly uttered.

Shampoo saw them getting along well and got really annoyed. She blazed in fury. Her aura was in complete anger. And everybody in the classroom could see it. She was scarier than usual.

"Let's get going, Ranma!!" Akane said then pulled him out, seeing that she was about to strike.

Ryoga and Ukyo were about to talk to Akane, but since she and Ranma went out, they decided to follow. Shampoo too followed her ex-boyfriend and her arch nemesis, after noticing that they had fled. Mousse just tagged along.

Jumps were made as they followed Akane and Ranma by the tortuous roads. Hits, blows, leaps, blocks, and lots of crazy martial art techniques as well. Shampoo was determined to kill Akane, while Akane was determined to live and get away.

It kept on going as they neared Akane's house. She then abruptly paused out of the blue, leaving Ranma who went along to run towards their gate.

"Akane!! Come on! She's gonna kill you!" he exclaimed, moving his hand, gesturing that she should come inside.

Akane ignored his statement and stayed standing still. It was as if she was waiting for Shampoo's attack. Which did happen.

Shampoo attacked her in all the spots anyone could think of in just split seconds. And Akane didn't defend herself. Not a single block was made.

She fell down by no time, almost getting unconscious. Yet she still had some strength in her. "Shampoo, are you really going to kill me? You know why I stopped from running away? Because we're near my house, Shampoo. I won't let my family in this trouble I caused. Though… think about it, if you kill me, will you be happy? Sure, maybe for a while, you will be, finally getting rid of me. I am after all such a very big nuisance for you. But you won't get Ranma back that way. The kiss of death is preposterous! You shouldn't-"

Nonetheless, she had to lose energy and lose her consciousness.

Shampoo reflected on what Akane had told her. She knew she was right. But she had no choice but to kill her. It's their tradition. If she breaks it, she would be no longer an Amazon. It would be a disgrace. And she had already decided on doing so since she kissed her. She must fulfill it.

She went near the girl in front of her and positioned a knife she just got from her pockets, to hit her heart. Her actions spoke of possible murder, yet her eyes a mixture spoke of uncertainty, acceptance and regret.

Suddenly, Ranma went near her in a flash. He took her hand with the knife and started, "Shampoo, I liked you before because I knew you were a kind and loving person. But what you're doing now… isn't kind or loving. Akane's had it. She's bruised too much! It's as if she's dead already!" He afterwards took the knife and threw it away. "She has a lot of problems, Shampoo, more than yours or mine. Even put together! This is already killing her physically. But her problems are killing her emotionally and spiritually as well. Lay off her, please? Shampoo, I beg of you," he stated and after that looked at Ukyo and Ryoga who were just standing by there.

Shampoo said not even a word. But he just pulled Mousse who was beside her. He nodded at her look. He understood it completely, seeing that her eyes were completely emotional and almost teary eyed. They were going home.

Akane's mind wondered off a while, after losing her consciousness. She recalled the time she met Ranma and Shampoo, back at Cat Café. She recalled meeting her best friend, Ukyo and her boyfriend, Ryoga. She recalled a lot of things that she enjoyed. And she knew that if she was going to live after such an eventful day of terrible happenings and mishaps… well, she decided that she was sure of one thing.

She woke up after a few hours, though still in pain. As she opened her eyes, she saw three figures watching her carefully. It was Ranma, Ryoga and Ukyo. The Tendo family wasn't still home despite the late time, due to own personal reasons.

"Akane? Thank God!!" Ukyo said, eyes swelling up in tears.

Ryoga held her hand and kissed them in passion. "I was so scared. I didn't even get to defend you. It was just too speechless. I couldn't move. I'm sorry. I guess I… I don't deserve to be your boyfriend. You saved yourself. You're a strong woman, Akane. Although, he did help," Ryoga stated, then gave a sarcastic tone and look to Ranma.

She gazed at his eyes. "Ranma, is Shampoo gone?" she asked softly.

He nodded a yes. "You did it. You convinced her."

Akane stared at Ranma for a while. She then shook her head. "No. You saved me. I may have been unconscious, but I heard what you told her. I heard everything. That's what let her stop attacking me. Thank you so much."

It was the most sublime thing Ranma had seen. Akane had thanked him. He knew they were friends already, but they still had their differences. He never knew he could say such words to him. All that ever came from her to him was pure insults, or stuff about school. The word 'thank you' seemed to be never heard from Akane to Ranma.

Ryoga then stood up, seeing that Ranma and Akane needed some talking to do. He signaled Ukyo to do the same. "I think we have to go. Right, Ukyo?"

Ukyo nodded and stood up. "Yeah. Well… get well soon, Akane."

Akane looked at them in concern. "It's late already. Spend the night here. Besides, you still live here, Ryoga."

Ryoga smiled. "Thank you for the offer, Akane. Sure, I'll spend the night here. But… by tomorrow, I'll be leaving. I guess I have caused you too much pain. It may be hard for me to say this, but I guess we have to break up. I still like you, Akane. I like you a lot. But… I can't see you being depressed all because of me. I don't deserve to do this to you. You need somebody else for you. Someone who'll take care of you better," he stated, knowing that the 'somebody' he was talking about was no other than Ranma.

Akane looked down and nodded. "Thank you, Ryoga. I may still have some hatred for you, but I'm thankful that you care for me. But where are you going if you leave here?"

"Who knows? I'll find my way. I may always lose my way in the process, but I guess I'll find it someday," he sounded positive.

Akane smiled and blithely questioned, "Why don't you stay with Ukyo. She lives all alone and needs the company."

Ukyo hugged her bestfriend, to change the topic, and of course to say to her what she had been meaning to say for so long. "Akane, I'm sorry for everything. You're my bestfriend and I just betrayed you so much. I don't deserve you! I don't deserve your friendship. You're just too kind," she cried in all her sadness.

Akane smiled at Ukyo's apology and patted her back. "What are you talking about? Of course you deserve my friendship. And I deserve yours. You may have done a lot of horrible things in the past, but that's why there are best friends. They understand each other even to the extent of hating each other's guts. I've finally learned to understand that. Ukyo, I give up Ryoga to you. Take good care of him, okay?" she said, finally going back to the subject about giving up Ryoga.

Ukyo broke her hug to Akane and looked at her in astonishment. Ryoga widened his eyes too. "You what!?" they asked in unison.

She was sure of what she just said. There was no turning back anyway. "Ryoga, I want you to be happy with Ukyo."

"But I don't like her that way!" he insisted. Ukyo made a little sad frown because of this.

"Then try to find more about her. I'm sure you will… someday. You two connect somewhat more than we do, Ryoga."

"Are you sure?" he asked, still totally surprised.

"I'm sure," she nodded.

After a while, Ranma then began to walk to the door. "So… I'll be the one who's going home now. Get well soon, Akane. Bye guys." He then bowed.

"Wait!" she called out, finally thinking of a plan.

Ranma stopped to listen to her.

"Ranma, you and your dad don't have a home now, don't you? Well, since Ryoga's leaving, why don't you two stay here? You can start tonight. We do have extra futons. If that's okay with you, Ryoga. I mean, they're homeless. This is the least I can do for everything he has done for me," Akane stated.

Ryoga made a faint smile. It wasn't the best idea, knowing that there was a connection between that conversation, and because he still liked Akane and was jealous, but he knew it was okay. He knew that because Ranma could take care of Akane more than her. She would be safe and secured. He wouldn't let anything happen. And he knew he was better and enough for her than him. He was the one he was talking about that's worth for her anyway. "Sure."

"Are you serious, Akane?!" Ranma said as joy started to form inside him.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Father won't mind anyway."

Ranma jumped up and down and made a very weird dance. He had a home, and hey, it was a big deal. "Okay, I'll just go get my father!" he said then hastily left the house.

Akane, Ryoga and Ukyo were just left there with raised brows. That dance was unexpected and horrendous.

After a while, Happosai entered the house. "Oh, hello you three. What are you waiting for?" he joyfully asked. He obviously got a lot of underwear in that night's heist. It was either that or because he saw a lot of underwear.

"Oh, we're waiting for Ranma to spend the night here," Ukyo explained.

"Yeah, he just got Mr. Saotome, his father," Akane continued.

Happosai's mind finally was enlightened. He remembered that certain surname. Saotome. Genma Saotome's last name.

"Whhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttt!! Saotome's coming!!" he said in shock. His eyes were wide open, his mouth as well that big, and even his ears. He then remembered everything. The past with Saotome and how he deserted him.

A/N: Cliffie! So, do you guys like it!? R&R, okay?! Thanks for reading! And sorry if it wasn't that good and was a bit vague in prose. Not really much in a good mood. Review class for college just suck the brains out. 8am-5pm is just too much. :P
