Akane was watching TV with her family. When a scary ghost story began,
everyone left to do their own thing. Akane asked her father to stay and
watch together, but he told her that if she was so scared, she shouldn't
watch it and just go to sleep. He also added that Ranma was just upstairs
so she can ask him. Akane watched by herself. Just when a scary part came
up, Ranma came up from behind Akane to yell and scare her. Akane starts
fighting with Ranma. Akane runs outside. Then Shampoo comes and throws
a big bell at Ranma. Shampoo tells Ranma that it is a souvenir from China.
Shampoo has a small bell herself so that they have a pair. When Ranma
said that he didn't want it, Shampoo turned herself into a cat and chased
Ranma until he accepted the bell.
That night Ranma's bell wanders through the Tendo house. It opens Akane's
door and goes into her room. Then something says, "Be my wife."
After Akane screamed, she grabbed the bell and ran to Ranma's room to
beat him up. When Ranma denied that he did anything, the bell said,
"Be my wife," and started to float off by itself. After Ranma chased
it into a corner, the bakeneko (a large white ghost cat) appeared.
When the bakeneko saw Ranma in a fighting pose, he hugged Ranma and
asked him not to beat him up. Ranma freaks out.
While everyone was listening to the bakeneko's story, Shampoo arrived with
a delivery of ramen. When the bakeneko saw Shampoo's bell, he asked her
to be his wife. Then Shampoo told the bakeneko that she is going out with
Ranma. The bakeneko gets mad and starts going after Ranma. Ranma was
scared of the cat, but gets one punch in. The bakeneko cries and goes
away, saying that he'll be back.
The next day everyone was waiting for the bakeneko to appear again. Ranma
was scared. The bakeneko comes. Genma and Shampoo throws Ranma at the
bakeneko. Then both Ranma and the bakeneko start crying. The bakeneko
stops crying and says that he has a special technique to defeat Ranma.
He projects himself into Genma's body, thinking that Ranma wouldn't attack
his own father. But Ranma regains his strength and pounds Genma. The
bakeneko then says that he'll take over Shampoo's body. But Shampoo kicks
the bakeneko. Then the bakeneko says that he will give up on Shampoo.
When Shampoo thanked Ranma for fighting for her, Ranma said that he didn't
and that he doesn't love her. Then Shampoo pretends like she is going to
cry. But Shampoo gives the little bell to Ranma and pushed him into the
pond. When Ranma-chan comes out of the pond with the bell, the bakeneko
says that he has found a new wife. He picks up Ranma-chan and licks her.
Then Ranma-chan turns into the cat and beats up the bakeneko. The bakeneko
escapes, saying that he doesn't want such a wild woman as a wife. Then
Akane comforts Ranma-chan.
The next day, the bakeneko was at school chasing all of the girls, trying
to find someone to be his wife.
