Chapter 3 - 


Everyone sat the Tendo household, eating dinner. There was an odd 
feeling in the air. Apparently something transpired between Ranma and 
Akane today to made him miserable and her very happy.

Ranma just sat there picking at his food. The times Genma attempted to
take food from him was met with a cold stare that could freeze water.

"Come on Ranma, it's not a big deal. It's happened to me dozens of 
times," Akane said, grinning.

"Not to me it does. It should never be able to happen to me. That 
stuff should only happen to girls," Ranma retorted.

"You are a girl half the time," Akane reminded him.

The rest of their families stopped eating, intent to find out what 
happened.

"But I wasn't a girl at the time!" Ranma almost shouted angrily.

That caused a couple odd looks.

"It was bound to happen sooner or later, with all that crap that 
happens to you," said in an amused tone.

"How can I show my face in public now?" Ranma asked sadly.

"No one, but us, knows what happened."

"And how long before she finds out and sells it to everyone." Ranma
pointed at Nabiki.

"Ranma, I'm wounded that you think I'd sell information about you," 
Nabiki said sarcastically.

Everyone, including Kasumi, gave her a cold look.

"You know I'm going to find out, so tell me," Nabiki said.

Ranma returned to picking at his food.

Akane, however, was more than delighted to tell of the afternoon's 
events. "I was walking home, when..."

----------------

"I have you now. I shall kill you for what you've done," said a rather 
large sumo wrestler.

Ranma was tied up with a large number of chains and could not move. 
"What did I ever do to you?" he asked angrily.

"You stole my love, so I shall take her back after I dispose of you."

Ranma rolled his eyes.

"Excuse me, but just what are you doing with Ranma?" Akane asked 
angrily.

"Go away, bitch, while I remove this trash."

Akane ran up at him and with a mighty leap, slammed her book bag into 
the sumo wrestler's head, knocking him out cold.

Akane then removed the chains from the shocked Ranma.

"How... did... I... must... a... hit... him... a thousand... times, 
and he... wasn't hurt," Ranma stammered.

Akane looked at the sumo wrestler. "Ever thought about hitting him in 
the head, where he has little fat to protect himself?"

Ranma blinked. He hadn't given that much thought.

"Oh well, I guess it was my turn to save you," Akane smirked.

Ranma grumbled something while Akane laughed.

-------------

"So, let me get this straight," Nabiki began. "He's upset because..."

"I was the knight in shining armor and he was the damsel in distress,"
Akane finished, still grinning.

"You don't have ta rub it in," Ranma muttered.

"Yes, I do," Akane replied.

Chapter 3 or 4 Ushio verses Happosai.

Ushio knocked at Ranma's and Akane's door. Ranma answered it a minute 
later and was greeted with the question, "What is this... thing?"

Ranma looked at what was hanging by its clothes from the tip of the 
beast spear. "That's the ol' freak and 'master' of Anything Goes 
Martial Arts. Excuse me a second." Ranma grabbed Happosai off the 
spear and went over and opened his bedroom window and punted the old 
lech into the night sky, yelling, "Don't come back!"

Happosai woke up when he was kicked and he knew that kick anywhere. 
"Is that anyway to treat your master!?" 

"You were never my master!"

Ranma's hip flared in pain as Akane punched him. "I don't get enough 
sleep as it is and you just have to wake me up, Baka."

"Would you rather have the ol' lech running around?"

"I'd rather get some sleep, so shut up!"

-------------

Taro looked at the diminutive figure warily.

"Let's say we go out and wreak havoc?" Happosai suggested to the 
demon.

"You know, you look sort of like those golden chicken nugget." Taro 
licked his chops.

Asoko grinned. "I'm sure he tastes like one too." What better way to 
deal with a demon than to have another one eat it.

"Do you have to spoil ALL my meals?" Tora asked. Hamburgers he liked, 
the grease balls that were called chicken on the other hand....
