"RYOKO!" came a shout from behind her. "I thought you were going to find your brother." said a voice from behind her.

Ryoko turned around. "Lon, what are you doing here?" asked Ryoko. "Weren't you supposed to stay in the village? Your great-grandmother is gonna be mad that you decided to join Shampoo and Mousse."

"You're in the village boundaries, idiot." said a third person, stepping out from behind a tree. "I'm gonna have to take you to the Tendo dojo myself to keep you from getting lost." Mai grabbed Ryoko's arm and started to drag her away.

"Hold it right there, Mai," said Lon. "You're not going anywhere. We're supposed to stay at the village. We're the best fighters now that the matriarch is gone-"

"The village is made up completely of fighting women! Even the men are good fighters! The only people who need protecting are strangers from them." Mai replied. "Besides, don't you ever get tired of being stuck here? Ranko can go anywhere she wants. The only way to learn new techniques is to watch you two in battle. The elders hoard all of the good techniques from us. Trying to learn anything new from them is like pulling teeth!

"There's no way I'm gonna let myself be stuck in this stupid old village my whole life. Why don't you come with us? You're just being held back here. You and Ranko both could improve your martial arts so much faster if you would leave with her. The matriarch isn't going to teach you anything more, anyways. Because Shampoo's the oldest, she is going to be taught everything, while your great grandmother is going to try to hold you back to the best of her abilities. I mean, in the two years Shampoo and your great grandmother have been gone, look how much you've improved! There's nothing for us here. I'm leaving even if you won't." Mai finished.

The arguement between the two was an old one, but this time, Mai was going to leave even if Lon didn't come with her. She was about to turn to go when they all heard the shout of "RANKO HAPPO BURST!!!"

Ranko soon followed with that shout, running into the clearing just as a huge explosion threw them all to the ground. The four all quickly got to their feet. "Ranko, what-?" started Ryoko, but Ranko interupted her.

"There was this huge demon that came out of this chest I opened when in the Amazon treasury. I used a Ranko Happo Burst on it, but I think the blast destroyed most of the village. Sorry," she said. "But I managed to save this book," she added, holding up an ancient looking book titled 'The Spells and Techniques of the Ancients'.

"WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN THE TREASURY?!!!" Lon screamed at Ranko. Suddenly the shouts of hundreds of angry amazons filled the air.

"Oops, no time to talk," said Ranko, "Gotta go." She jumped into a tree and started leaping from one tree to another, incidentally escaping from Lon.

"Come back here!" Lon yelled, quickly giving chase.

"Well, I don't want to be here to catch the blame for what Ranko did," commented Ryoko. She turned to follow Ranko and Lon.

"Fool, you're going towards the Amazons!" shouted Mai, grabbing Ryoko and running after Ranko and Lon as fast as she could. She would finally be free of the village!

"I wasn't..huff..running away," Ranko wheezed. "I just had to..pant..get somewhere else..huff..in a hurry."

A couple moments later, Ryoko and Mai stumbled over to the two. "You could've.." Mai managed to get out, before she couldn't talk because she was breathing so hard.

"..At least slowed down to a jog.." Ryoko finished. The two collapsed from exhaustion. Ranko and Lon, satisfied that they had outlasted Mai and Ryoko, followed suit. It would be a few hours before they woke up...

"Where is she?!" yelled Ryouga in frustration.

"Where's who, pigboy?" asked Ranma, from behind him, "And what are you doing here?"

Ryouga and Ranma were currently standing in front of the Tendo dojo. "I'm waiting for my sister here since I-I mean-she couldn't find her way to our house." replied Ryouga.

"I thought you didn't have any sisters," said Ranma, remembering when he had fooled Ryoga into thinking he was his sister so he could spy on Ryouga and Akane.

"I said I didn't have a younger sister. My twin sister is supposed to come meet me here." repied Ryouga. "But she hasn't shown up yet. Do you think she's lost?"

"Knowing your family, probably," said Ranma, "When were you two supposed to meet?"

"Yesterday," said Ryouga.

"Well, you'll probably have a couple more days to wait then," Ranma replied.

Before either could say anything else, a shout came from behind the wall into the backyard. "It's this way!"

"No, you fool! You're no good with directions. It should be right through this wall." another voice replied.

"This wall?" came a third voice.

"That's what Makoto says," a fourth voice replied to the third voice.

"My name's Ranko! Ranko, got it?!!" replied Ranko/Makoto.

"Whatever you say, Makoto," said the fourth voice.

"RANKO FIRE BURST!!" shouted Ranko.

A girl flew over the wall. She had blue hair and looked a lot like Shampoo. "Why you-!" the girl got out before the third voice yelled out "BAKUSAI TENKETSU!", and the wall got a new gate.

Three people walked through the wall. One looked almost exactly like Ryouga, except they were half an inch taller, and they were of a slighter build. It was difficult to tell whether they were a boy or a girl. The second person was definitely a girl. She looked like Ranma's girl form, except she was only an inch and a half shorter than Ranma's boy form, and she had raven black hair that hung loosely down her back, reaching past her waist. The last one didn't look like anyone Ranma knew, except she somehow reminded him of Mousse. She had black hair done in Shampoo's hair style and was the same height as Ranko.

"Ryoko!" yelled Ryouga. He rushed over to his look-alike and gave her a huge hug.

"Little brother!" exclaimed Ryoko, hugging Ryouga back.

Meanwhile, the girl who looked like Shampoo glared at Ranko. "Stupid violent freak!" she yelled at Ranko.

"At least I'm not a crazy amazon witch like you, Lon!" Ranko yelled back.

"Hey, it's called sorcery, and I'm the only sorceress around here!" Mai yelled, getting in on the arguement. "It's an insult to me to call her a witch. The only foreign thing Lon can brew is a milkshake!"

"At least I'm a better cook than you, Mai!" yelled Lon.

"You? A better cook than anyone? Don't make me laugh!" Ranko shouted.

The three girls growled at each other.

"Ranko Happo-" started Ranko.

"Divine Retri-" began Lon.

"Death Specters-" Mai started a spell.

"Oh my, we have guests," said Kasumi, coming into the yard. "Won't you all come in for tea?" she asked.

Ranko, Lon, and Mai stopped their attacks, surprised that this young woman had come into their attack zone completely oblivious to the danger. Mai spoke first, "Sure. We could certainly use it after our long journey."

"Thank you for offering. I accept," said Lon.

"I would greatly enjoy it," said Ranko, trying her hardest to be polite. "And maybe you could tell me where I could find a young man by the name of Ranma Saotome, or an older man named Genma Saotome." Ranko had had her own reasons for coming to the Tendo dojo. She was going to find her brother and father no matter what!

Ranma overheard this, and decided he didn't want to find out what it was Ranko wanted. After all the fiances, he didn't want to the first to deal with Ranko. He would let her find his father first. Ranma snuck out through the hole made by Mai.

"Ranma and his father are staying here," Kasumi told Ranko. "He was talking with Ryouga, but I just saw him leave through that hole."

"What?" asked Ranko. "He lives here? For once in my life, something good has actually happened to me! I'll take a raincheck on the tea. I need to go find him." Ranko ran out the hole after Ranma.

"She could have just waited until he got back," said Lon.

"Oh well, she'll be back later," said Mai, "Right now, we need to go save Ryoko from her 'little brother'."

The two turned to look at Ryouga and Ryoko. Ryoko was vainly trying to pry Ryoga loose. "Can't..breathe," Ryoko gurgled.

Ryouga realized he was hugging his slightly older sister too hard and released her. "Oops, sorry," he said, blushing.

"I think you broke my ribs!" Ryoko gasped out. "You sure you didn't replace my little brother with some weight lifter that works out at the gym all day -and- night?"

"I hurt you?!" Ryouga exclaimed in horror. He picked her up. "We need to get you to Doctor Tofu right away!"

"Put her down," said Lon, "If she can survive traveling with Ranko, then she can survive a hug from you."

"I was just teasing you," said Ryoko as Ryouga carefully put her down. "I'm not exactly made of porcelean." Ryoko looked around. "Hey, where's Ranko?" she asked.

"She went chasing after Ranma." Mai answered.

"You mean that guy that was standing next to Ryouga?" asked Ryoko.

"Yeah," said Lon, "It turns out that he's Ranko's brother. But he snuck off for some reason, so Ranko took off after him."

"Ranma has a sister?!" asked Ryouga in disbelief.

"Uh-huh," responded Ryoko. "Of course, he and his father don't know that."

"What do you mean?" asked Mai.

"Well, it's sorta my fault," said Ryoko, "When she was four and I was five, we were going to the ice cream store, but.."

"But what?" asked Lon. Ryouga thought he already knew the answer to this question.

"I lead the way and-" Ryoko got interrupted by Mai.

"So that's how you ended up in the Amazon village!" she exclaimed.

"And you took poor Ranko with you?!" Lon yelled, "How stupid can you get?! You must have already known how bad you are with directions by then."

"Regardless, what's done is done." said Kasumi, stilling the growing fight. "Don't you think we should go in and wait for Ranma and Ranko?" The group reluctantly followed Kasumi inside, except for Ryoko, who, when trying to follow her, went the opposite way.

Ranma looked behind him as he jumped from rooftop to rooftop. The girl was still following him! Ranma's experiences with people he didn't know or couldn't remember were not good ones. Although the girl looked like him in girl form, there was no way she could be related to him. He wondered which group of people who were after him she fell into. Was she out to kill him, or out to marry him? Whichever she was, Ranma didn't really want to find out.

"Wait up!" Ranko yelled. Ranma ignored her. "I said to wait up!" she shouted a little louder. She could tell he was purposefully ignoring her. "For the last time, WAIT UP!!" That was it! Ignore her, would he? "DIVINE RETRIBUTION!!!" she screamed, unleashing the lightning patterned ki on Ranma.

'Definitely out to kill me,' he thought as the lightning hit him, before he fell off the rooftop, slightly charred. Ranko jumped down beside him. Ranma quickly got back up, prepared to run again, when Ranko jumped at him. She hugged him. 'Oh great, she's both,' Ranma thought, uselessly trying to pry her off of him.

"Big brother! I finally found you!" said Ranko happily.

"W-what?" asked Ranma, confused.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself," said Ranko, letting him go. "I'm Makato Ranko Saotome," she stuck out her hand. Ranma hesitantly shook it, still in a daze. "Oh, by the way, anyone who calls me Makoto dies." said Ranko. "Just thought I'd warn you."

"Why?" Ranma asked.

"Because my mother gave me that part of my name," said Ranko, snarling out the word 'mother'. "Anyway," she continued, smiling now, "We should get back to the dojo. Come on!" She started dragging him away by his arm.

Unfortunately, they passed Ukyou. "Hey, what do you think you're doing with my Ranchan?!" she asked, stopping them.

"Who are you?" asked Ranko.

"I'm Ranchan's fiance." said Ukyou.

"Oh, another one?" asked Ranko.

Ukyou took that to mean Ranko was another of Ranma's fiances. Ranko, however, had known that Shampoo was engaged to Ranma by Amazon law, and had meant another fiance than Shampoo. Ukyou drew her spatula. "You can't have him, you hussy!" she yelled, attacking. Ranko threw Ranma to one side and dodged to the other.

"I don't want him!" she shouted back, "And what do you mean 'hussy', you freak!"

Ranma got up. "Stop fighting!" he yelled.

"Stay out of this, Ranma!" Ukyou and Ranko shouted out at the same time.

"I can take this bimbo any time," said Ranko.

"Bimbo?! Well at least I'm not a slut!" Ukyou yelled back. "Hanging all over Ranchan like that! Go back where you came from, 'cause you sure aren't wanted here."

"Hanging all over Ranma? Don't make me gag, pervert," Ranko replied, getting more and more angry at the girl in front of her.

"Then what would you call clutching Ranma's arm like that? You're as bad as that Amazon hussy!" Ukyou screamed.

"That's it!" Ranko yelled. "RANKO HAPPO-!!"

"STOP!!!" Ryoko shouted, running up to the group, grabbing the firework out of Ranko's hand, and throwing it as far away as she could, which was out of their sights in seconds.

"What did you do that for?!" Ranko demanded.

"We're in a city! You're lucky I got lost and saw you guys. You could have leveled Nerima! Are you retarded or something?!!" Ryoko yelled at Ranko. "And you," she said, turning towards Ukyou, "You've got to be even stupider than Ranko to challenge her!"

"Ranma's my fiance! What else was I supposed to do?" said Ukyou.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Ryoko asked.

"She was trying to steal my Ran-chan from me!" Ukyou shouted.

"Steal Ranma from you?" Ryoko looked at Ukyou like she was crazy. "I don't know whether to laugh or take you to a mental hospital. Ranko is Ranma's sister, for crying out loud!"

"W-what?" asked Ukyou, astonished.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind the group. "Ranko!" someone shouted. Ranko was nearly bowled over as a force of nature known as 'Shampoo' came hurtling into her.

"Gah! Shampoo, let me go!" yelled Ranko, trying unsuccessfully to get her off. "Look, there's Ryoko!" she yelled, pointing at Ryoko with the one arm she managed to get out of Shampoo's death grip.

Shampoo took the bait and quickly released her to hug Ryoko. "Ryoko! You should have told me when you before you came! I'm so glad to see you two!" she exclaimed.

Then Shampoo noticed the two Neriman residents looking at her in shock. "Shampoo, you know how to use pronouns," said Ukyou, amazed.

"Why wouldn't she?" asked Ranko, not noticing Shampoo waving her arms in a 'no' signal, "Shampoo's been fluent in the Japanese language since she was six."

"But she didn't even know how to speak the language when we visited the Amazon village two years ago." said Ranma.

"Oh, well, it would have been rude to speak Japanese in front of everyone in the village. No one would have known what she was saying. Besides, the future matriarch is supposed to concentrate solely on learning the laws of the amazons and martial arts. If everyone knew she could speak Japanese fluently, then they'd think she was slacking off on her duties as future matriarch." said Ranko.

"Then why did she speak such horrible Japanese when she came back with the old ghoul?" Ranma asked. Something smacked the back of his head.

"That's honored matriarch to you, boy!" yelled Cologne.

"Ack! Great-grandmother!" exclaimed Shampoo.

"The answer to your question, son-in-law, is that Shampoo had been trying to hide the fact she could speak perfect Japanese from me, too," said Cologne. "I found no reason not to let her keep up the charade."

Shampoo looked at Cologne in shock. "In any case, let's get back to the dojo," said Ryoko. "I know someone who will be glad to see you, Shampoo."

"You mean that girl that looks like Shampoo and has blue hair?" asked Ranma.

"You idiot!" yelled Ranko. "You weren't supposed to tell Cologne about that!"

"So Lon finally left the village?" asked Shampoo.

"It's about time that girl grew enough of a spine to leave." said Cologne.

"W-what?" stuttered Ranko in confusion. "You wanted Lon to leave?! Mai is gonna be so mad."

"I've been waiting for Lon to leave the village for four years now," said the matriarch. "Both of us know that she can't take over for me since she's not the eldest daughter, and her talent as a martial artist is just being wasted in the village. I've been trying to drive her out for the past five years! I thought I'd only need one. The girl was too stubborn for her own good, always saying she needed to be there to protect the village in case something happened to Shampoo. When I left the village, I thought Lon would be stuck there forever."

"Then it's a good thing Ranko blew up half the village and ran off," said Ryoko, "If she hadn't done that, then Lon wouldn't have ran off after her, we wouldn't have traveled across most of China, and Lon would still be stuck in that ancient village!"

"Blew up half the village?!" exclaimed Cologne and Shampoo.

"Yep," continued Ryoko, ignoring Ranko's frantic signals telling her to shut up about the incident, "For some reason Ranko was in the treasury, then she released a demon and used a Ranko Happo Burst to destroy it, except it destroyed half the village with the demon. Come to think of it, we never asked why Ranko why she was in the treasury."

"What were you thinking?!" Cologne yelled at Ranko. Ranko looked like she wished she was six inches high. Ranma was beginning to think that Ranko had landed in a Jusenkyo pool that would give her an interesting life, too. It was sort of interesting to not be the center of attention for awhile.

"Happoisai-" started Ranko.

"What does Happi have to do with anything?" asked Cologne.

"Well, I trained under him for awhile," said Ranko. "As a result, I signed an agreement that he could give me a middle name as long as he didn't try anything. After he taught me everything he knew, which I have got to say, wasn't a lot, he took off, chasing after a group of school girls that were passing by. I finally caught up to him a few weeks ago, and he promised to get rid of the name if I got this chest out of the treasury. The only problem was I made the mistake of opening the chest." she finished.

"So that's how you learned the Ranko Fire Burst." said Cologne.

"But you've known that technique since you were twelve!" said Shampoo. "Happoisai has only been out of the cave for two years."

"Wait a minute, you guys know him?" asked Ranko. "And you know he got out of the cave after I put all those wards on the boulder I replaced there?!" she blurted out. Everyone stared at her. She sighed.

"Okay, I lied. After he finished training me, he told me that the only way to get him to change the name was to beat him in combat. I got him drunk and trapped him in the same cave he was in when I found him, then placed a few hundred protective wards around the boulder I replaced there. I was gonna come back when I got powerful enough to beat him. I saw him a few weeks ago and figured that he had to be very powerful to get out, so I decided not to challenge him to get the name changed. All I did was offer to get him any object he wanted, no matter how dangerous it was to get it. He asked for the chest, and you know the rest." Ranko finished.

"Why do you want to change your middle name, anyway?" asked Ranma. "I got the idea that you liked the name Ranko."

"Not that middle name!" yelled Ranko.

"I didn't know you had a second middle name," said Ryoko. "What is it?"

"pti," mumbled Ranko.

"What? I couldn't hear you," said Ukyou.

"pti," she mumbled again.

"You're going to have to speak up," said Shampoo.

"PANTIES, OKAY!?!?!" Ranko shouted.

"P-panties?!" asked Ukyou, "Hahahaha! You have the same name as Tarou!"

"SHUT UP!!!" yelled Ranko. "What do you know, anyway?!" She turned around. "Let's just go to the stupid dojo."

"Sure thing, Panties," said Ryoko, smiling mischeviously.

Ranko whirled around, "You of all people should know better than to make me angry." she said.

"Whatever you say, Panties," replied Ryoko, snickering.

"Since you get lost so easily, I'm sending you back to the dojo, aka Ranko Airlines, second class," Ryoko started to back away while Ranma and Ukyo looked on in confusion. "RANKO FIRE BURST!" Ranko yelled, hurtling a firework at Ryoko. The firework hit Ryoko and sent her flying through the air, towards the dojo.

"Hmph! So there!" Ranko yelled at the receding Ryoko. Ranma and Ukyou looked at Ranko in surprise, Ukyo backing up a bit. "Let's just go," said Ranko. The group followed her back towards the dojo.

"Where's Ryoko?" asked Lon.

"She must have gotten lost again," said Mai. The group was currently having tea, with Kasumi acting as the perfect hostess. "If she follows her usual pattern, she'll show back up again in a couple of days, as long as we stay here. Or at least, as long as Ranko stays here."

"She gets lost and manages to follow Ranko wherever she goes?" Ryoga asked.

"Like brother, like sister," said Kasumi, for once putting in a comment. After all, if they were her guests, she couldn't let them be bored.

"Have you noticed that no one is even bothered that they have two perfect strangers in their house?" Lon asked Mai.

"Yeah," said Mai. "But the people seem rather weird. That old guy's playing shogi with a panda, and that other girl with short brown hair is trying to spy on us without being seen."

"Where?" asked Lon.

"She disappeared around the corner a minute ago and is now looking at us through a peephole in the wall," said Mai.

"Remind me to never use the bathroom here," Lon whispered to Mai as the girl with brown hair walked around the corner and back into the dining room.

"So a martial artist finally noticed me," she commented. "I'm Nabiki. I'm just here to make sure you don't cause any damage to this house, because I'm the one expected to pay for it."

"Nabiki, it isn't nice to spy on the guests," Kasumi reprimanded, "Or to drill holes in the wall in the middle of the night. It keeps people up."

Before anyone could make any further comments, they heard someone scream, "I'm gonna DIE! This all your fault, Ranko!!" Then that someone came crashing through the ceiling. Ryoko landed on the floor, then went through it. She crawled out of a Ryoko-shaped crater she had made in the floor.

"Where do you live?" asked Nabiki, pulling out a pad of paper and pen. Lon, Mai, and Ryoko looked at her in confusion. "I need to know where to send the bill for the damage to the ceiling and floor."

"Um, well, I don't really have a permanent residence," said Ryoko. Nabiki looked up to see who had made the mess in the floor. She looked at Ryouga. She looked back at Ryoko.

"Oh great, another Hibiki." she said. Nabiki carefully studied Ryoko. "Well, since you don't look like you have any money on you, why don't you sign this agreement that says you'll do so many hours of manual labor for me?" Nabiki pulled out a bunch of official looking papers with really small print.

Ryouga frantically waved his arms 'no' to Ryoko. She got the message. "Um, how about I just pay you?" she said, "How much money would it cost to fix the floor and ceiling?" she asked. Again, Ryouga waved his arms in a 'no' signal, but this time Ryoko didn't see him.

Nabiki looked thoughtful. "That depends on how much you have," she said. Ryoko did not like that glint in Nabiki's eyes, or the way she seemed to weigh her worth in one glance.

"Um, well, maybe we can talk about this later?" she asked.

"Okay, but then we'll be dealing with inflation, and costs of-" before she could continue, Ranko entered with Shampoo, Ranma, Ukyou, and Cologne.

Ranko was talking cheerfully, but stopped dead when she saw Nabiki. "YOU!" she yelled angrily.

"You!" Nabiki sounded slightly..fearful. She turned around, "You're right, let's talk about this later," she quickly said to Ryoko before running out of the room.

"Come back here!" yelled Ranko. She ran out the door after Nabiki. "You can't escape me, you thief!"

"What was that about?" Ukyou asked.

"I don't know," said Ryoko, "But I plan on finding out." They followed Ranko into the next room, where they saw Nabiki backed up against a wall.

"L-look," said Nabiki, "I can explain."

"You had better explain those plane tickets you got me a couple months ago that turned out to be phony!" Ranko yelled, raising her fist threateningly. At that moment, Akane walked in.

"What are you doing to my sister?!" she yelled, pulling a hammer out of thin air and malleting Ranko. Ranko flew through the air and into the wall, going through it. She flipped in midair and landed in front of the koi pond.

She angrily whirled around. "What am I doing to her?! Why don't you ask what she did to me?!" she yelled at Akane, then added, "Violent psycho maniac!", sticking out her tongue.

"WHY YOU-!!" Akane yelled angrily, running outside and malleting Ranko again. This time, instead of landing in front of the koi pond, Ranko landed in it.

"ACK!" she managed to get out before she was submerged.

"She isn't coming out," said Mai after a few moments.

"Oh well, she's had that coming for years," said Lon, walking away from the pond, unconcerned.

"I think she got stuck in her clothes," commented Mai to Ryoko now.

"Hey, do you remember if she ever learned to swim?" asked Ryoko.

"No, but I'm sure she'll survive," said Mai.

"I thought you were her friends!" yelled Ranma.

"If you're so concerned, then why don't you pull her out," said Mai.

Ranma blushed. He didn't want to reveal his curse in front of these people. "'Cause..'cause..'Cause I don't want to get wet!" he yelled.

"Well, neither do we!" Ryoko yelled back. Mai and Ryoko weren't going to get Ranko out of the pond for the same reason Ranma wouldn't.

"For goodness sake!" Cologne said, exasperated with the people surrounding her. "I'll get her out if you Jusenkyo curse victims are so afraid of a little cold water."

That comment left the group angry that their secret had been revealed. "Why did you tell them?!" Ranma, Ryouga, Mai, Shampoo, and Ryoko yelled at once.

"Hey, why are you upset, Shampoo?" asked Mai, "After all, everyone knew about your curse."

"Oh yeah," said Shampoo, remembering.

"Uh, guys," Ryoko interrupted, "Ranko, remember?"

Cologne walked over to the pond and used her walking staff to lift Ranko's bundle of clothes out of the water. An angry black piglet tumbled out of them and looked angrily at the group. "BWEE BWEE BWEE!" she screamed in the language of pigs. Only Ryouga understood what she said, and what he understood made his ears burn. 'Ranma's sister has a really dirty mouth,' he thought. 'And she's violent, too.'

Seeing that none of the people who were going to let her drown looked even the least bit sorry, she squealed something again, that this time Ryoko, Lon, and Mai all understood the general gist of, even if they didn't speak piggy.

"BWEBWEE BWEEEEE!" Ranko yelled, standing up on her hind legs. 'What does she mean 'Ranko Happo Burst?' wondered Ryouga. Ranko grabbed a firework out of the air with her two front paws. She threw the ki-infused firework at the group, only Cologne managing to jump out of the way. Soon several charred bodies lay where five proud martial artists had once stood (Akane, Nabiki, and Ukyou had retreated back to the house).

And that, my friends, is chapter one. Aren't you so proud of me? C&C Welcome. My e-mail address is mercury_girl@angelfire.com Feel free to e-mail me.

In case you didn't figure it out, Ryoko is Ryouga's sister, Ranko is Ranma's sister, Lon is Shampoo's sister, and Mai is.. a secret(hehehe^^).
