Akane, Buffy, and Ranma-chan
Part 1: "Far From Home"
 
It was business as usual at the Tendo residence. Ryoga and Ranma at each others throats.
"Ranma!"
"Ryoga, I'm sorry... I didn't... think she'd... be... home so... soon! Stop trying to hit me with that stupid umbrella!"
"I'm going to smash your head in with this stupid umbrella!"
"Ryoga she didn't see you... turn... into a... pig!"
"But she almost did! If she had walked in two seconds earlier she would have seen me turn into a pig!"
"Was it my fault I lost my balance and spilled a bucket of water on you."
"You didn't lose your balance, you did it on pupose!"
"Ranma! Ryoga! What are you two fighting about now?", Akane asked.
"See", Ranma whispered, "she didn't see you turn into a pig. 'Cause if she did she'd be clawing your eyes out for all the nights she slept with her precious P-chan."
Ryoga growled. "Akane, I'm glad you're here I have to tell you something."
"Yes, Ryoga?"
"I have to go on a trip and I don't know when I'll be returning."
"Oh, please we all know he'll be back later, ready to jump in bed with you.", Ranma said under his breath.
"What did you say?", Akane asked.
"Shut up Ranma! Good bye, Akane.", Ryoga said as he headed for the gate.
"Ryoga!", Akane called out. "Ranma this is all your fault! Why do you always have to pick on him?", Akane asked.
"Why do you always have to take his side?! I mean, if you only knew...", Ranma stopped.
"If I only knew what?", Akane asked.
"Nothing.", Ranma said.
"I'm going upstairs.", Akane said.
Ranma walked outside and started thinking. When is that moron going to figure out Ryoga and P-chan are the same person, Ranma thought. I mean she's had more  than her share of clues and she still hasn't figured it out. Maybe she knows and actually likes Ryoga, Ranma thought.
"That stupid jerk! Why does he do those things to me in front of Akane. If she ever found out my secret, she'd hate me.", Ryoga thought. "I'll eventually tell her, but... why is this floor moving? In fact, I've never been here before. Maybe that guy over there knows something." Ryoga walked over to the man. "Excuse me, could you tell me where I am?"
The man looked at Ryoga puzzled. "Come again?"
"Would you mind telling me where I am?", Ryoga repeated.
"A... well you're on ship.", the man answered.
"What!", Ryoga exclaimed.
"You mean you didn't know you were on a ship?", the man asked.
Ryoga, not wanting to look like an idiot, responded, "Of course I did."
The man walked away. "A ship?', he thought." I guess I was so distort that I didn't realize I was on a ship. How am I ever going to get back home!?", he cried out loud.
It had been two weeks and Ryoga was still gone. Akane had been nagging Ranma to go look for Ryoga, but Ranma kept saying he'd be back in a week or so. However, Akane couldn't seem to shake a bad feeling she had. Two more weeks pass and no sign of Ryoga.
"Ranma, it's been a month and Ryoga's still not back. What if something happened to him?"
"Nay, don't worry Akane Ryoga always finds his way home."
However, this time Ryoga was far from home. In fact a few continents away. Ryoga was completely lost and from what he could understand he was in North America, however where exactly was a complete mystery to him. He was tired, sleepy, hungry, and extremely home sick. However he walked along hoping he would come across a town. Finally, his prayers were answed, he saw a sign ahead. Sunnydale, he read, sounds peaceful.
"Ranma! Ranma! I got a letter from Ryoga!"
"What's it say?"
"Dear Akane,
How are you? I'm fine, I guess. It seems I got on a ship and wound up in North America. I walked around and got lost."
"There's a shocker.", Ranma said.
"Shut up Ranma! Well, anyways I..."
"Geez, sorry."
"That's what the letter says." Akane kept reading,"Well, anyways I'm approaching a town called 'Sunnydale'. I'll write to you in a few days to let you know how I am doing.
Ryoga."
"So I guess he's okay.", Akane said.
"I guess so.", Ranma agreed.
