I Promise Chapter 2 New Faces in Nerima! Author's Note: Welcome to chapter 2 of the continues saga of I Promise. Translation are the same as the last one. And to tell you this important message: The names of the twins are Ragi and Washi. Washi means eagle in Japanese and Ragi… I made that name up during science class 'cause I was really bored. There is another name in this story but you will know the translation and a new one: Baka: idiot/stupid/imbecile/cretin/dolt- how ever you want to word it. WARNING! For those who want to know… this only has a brief section of lemon. The lemon is that Nabiki admitted doing something. (ahem) ^_^ ENJOY! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is Sunday morning, early sun raise as two figures walked in. "So this is Nerima, huh?" said a boy. A girl nodded. "According to my calculations… this is the Nerima ward of Tokyo," the boy looked at her strange. "Stop it with the stupid calculations crap," "But Washi…" "Ragi, if you don't shut-up, I'll Shut It FOR YOU!" Washi gave out a kick but Ragi jumped up. "Forgot that I'm better at martial arts than you?" "Ragi…" Washi gave out another kick and Ragi dodged. Washi gave out a sigh. "Why are we transported here?" Ragi asked. Washi looked at her. "Cause this is the place where they have one of the best high school in the past. And where we got transported," It was Ragi's turn to stare at Washi. "Which is…" "Furinkan High School," "Oh! I forgot," "You idiot," Ragi started walking with Washi behind her. "Hey Ragi, wait! You walk to fast!" Ragi stopped in her tracks and turned to face Washi. "Washi… can we please move back?" Washi shook his head. "A transfer is a transfer. C'mon… let's go find our apartment," "Are we living alone? Aren't we kinda young?" "C'mon sis, we are thirteen years old and super smart… except I'm smarter than you and five seconds older than you," Ragi stared at her twin. She nodded. "Okay. Let's ask for directions to where the apartment is… what apartment are we living in?" Washi gave her a brochure. "This one," Ragi nodded. She saw a teenage couple walking into Nerima. She ran up to them. "Excuse me… can you please tell me where to find the Dajima Apartments?" The boy kinda stuttered a bit then turned to his girlfriend. "Do you know where it is?" His girlfriend gave out a sigh and knelt down to the girl. "Sure I know where it is suga… You go down that street, take a right turn and up a block. You can't miss it!" Ragi bowed down. "Thank you miss," "Gee, your so polite," said the boyfriend. "Hey! The Dajima Apartments is right next to my restaurant! I'm Ukyo Kuonji and this," she pointed to the boy behind her, "is Ryoga Hibiki. My restaurant is called Ucchan's. You can come whenever you want!" Ryoga knelt down next to her. Ragi nodded. "Thank you! Thank you lots!" Ukyo giggled a bit. "Your pretty cute. How old are you?" "I'm thirteen," Ukyo's eyes widened. "No offense but you look small to be thirteen," Ryoga said. Ragi nodded. "Yes… me and my brother, Washi," she pointed to Washi, "are small for our age," Washi walked up to stand next to her sister. "So what junior high are you guys attending?" "Um…" Ragi tried to think of one. Washi instead told the two teenagers. "We don't go to a junior high. We go to a high school," Ryoga and Ukyo were impressed. "Okay… so what high are you guys going to?" "Furinkan High School," Ragi said. "Hey that's the school I go to," Ukyo said. Washi looked at Ryoga. "Yo, what school do you go?" "Inogotocool," he mumbled. Washi looked at him with confusion. "I'm sorry, didn't hear quite right. What is it?" "I don't go to school," "Geez, are you a high school drop out?" "You might say that… it's just a problem," "Is the problem that… you get lost everywhere and if you go to school, you will get lost. Am I right?" Ryoga stared at him. "How-how did you know?" "Heh… It was obvious that when my sister asked you guys, you had to ask your girlfriend," Ryoga tried real hard not to loose his temper. "So Ragi… why not crash at my place for awhile?" "That's very kind of you miss, but we must be at the apartment," Ukyo and Ryoga stood up. "And it's about time we go see Ranma and Akane," Ukyo said. Ryoga nodded. Ukyo grabbed his hand. "See you two at school tomorrow," the two walked away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Mousse?" Shampoo was inside the Neko Hanten kitchen looking at a duck in a puddle of cold water. "Poor duck… Shampoo bring hot water, yes?" She picked up the duck and cuddled him in her arms. Then she walked to the stove and put a kettle of water to be heated. She set Mousse on the counter. Shampoo giggled as she played with Mousse until the water was ready. She then poured hot water on Mousse. Mousse transformed into a naked man with a Shampoo blushing HOT red! "Shampoo? Would you mind turning around for a bit?" Shampoo stood shocked. *Hiya! He look good with no clothes on… and down there…* She got her attention back and nodded. "Sure," She faced the wall behind her having the urge to turn around. She twiddled with her fingers. "Okay, I'm finished," Shampoo turned around to see Mousse in baggy black jeans, an Adidas shirt, (For all you KoRn lovers… you should know what Adidas means…tee hee ^_^) and his Kawaii Smile! That made Shampoo blushed even more. "So…" Shampoo started to say but couldn't really think of anything. "Yes?" Mousse asked. Shampoo grabbed Mousse's hand. She ran out of the restaurant with Mousse behind. "We go see Ranma and Akane, yes?" "Sure!" Mousse agreed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Twins?" Ranma asked. He was with Akane talking to Ryoga and Ukyo in the guest room. (A.k.a. Ranma and Genma's room.) Ranma was wearing a dragon T-shirt and baggy black jeans. Akane was wearing blue jeans shorts and a big white tank top. Ryoga and Ukyo are wearing the same clothes they wore yesterday. (Remember… Ryoga got them lost and by this morning they found their way back.) "Yeah twins," Ukyo said. "And they look alike!" Ryoga said. Ranma and Akane nodded. "How old are they?" Akane asked. "They're both thirteen," Ryoga informed. "Really? What junior high are they going to?" Ranma asked. Ryoga and Ukyo looked at each other. "You see… there is something you should know about them," Ryoga told them. "What?" said Ranma and Akane in unison. "Nihao!" Ranma, Akane, Ryoga, and Ukyo turned to the door to see Mousse and Shampoo. "Morning to you too. Here, sit down," Ukyo said. The couple sat down between Ranma and Ukyo, forming a circle. "So… what were you guys talking about?" Mousse asked. "We're talking about twins," Ranma told them. Mousse and Shampoo looked shocked. "Who started talking about it?" Shampoo asked. "I did," Ukyo said. Mousse and Shampoo were even more shocked. "Did you and Ryoga-," Mousse started but got interrupted by Ryoga. "No we didn't!" "Is Ukyo gonna have twins?" Shampoo asked. "No! We're talking about the twins we met when we were going back home!" Ukyo made sure it was loud and clear to Shampoo. "So anywho… what school do they go to?" Akane asked. "Furinkan," Ryoga told them. "Really? Oh wow! I loved that junior high! Gives me back memories…" "No! Not Furinkan Junior High!" "But they're to old to go to elementary school…" Ranma started. "No no no! Not Furinkan Elementary School! Not Furinkan Junior High either! They are going to FURINKAN HIGH SCHOOL! GUYS THEY ARE GOING TO YOUR SCHOOL!" Ryoga exclaimed. Ranma and Akane looked at him who was breathing hard from all that yelling. "Furinkan?" Ranma and Akane said in unison. Ryoga and Ukyo nodded. Shampoo and Mousse were staring at Ukyo and Ryoga. Then Mousse looked at everyone. "Oh that's right! When me and Shampoo came in, we only saw Kasumi. Where's Nabiki?" "Oh… well last night when I came back home, I gotta call Nabiki saying, 'Well Akane, I'm over at Tachi's house -Tachi be a good boy- helping him change the… lights! Yeah in his room- LIVING room! So I'll be -Hey Tachi not yet! I'm talking to my sister- I'll be home as soon as I can. Ciao!' In those exact words," Akane said. Everyone stared at Akane. "So it takes all night to change a living room light bulb, huh?" Ryoga said. "That depends on what kind light bulb she be changing. His brains or his happiness," Shampoo said. They then heard a door close and two people talking form the distance. The six walked out and spied on Kasumi and Nabiki to hear the whole conversation. "Why hello Nabiki, where were you?" "I was at Tachi's house helping him with his homework," "Oh? On a Saturday?" "Well…" "And Akane told me you were at his house changing a light bulb," "Well… that was his homework," "From which class?" "Uh… English! We needed to know how to say light bulb in English and change it the way the Americans change them!" "Is that so?" "Absolutely! Would I be lying?" The two heard snickering from behind the corner of a wall. "Would it take all night?" "Yes. Remember when it took me days to learn how to ride a two wheeler?" "Let see… it is certainly obvious that shoulder is showing and I can't see a bra strap," "Well… it's like this…" "Yes?" "I needed to, uh, use my bra to help him up," "Is that so?" "Yes… I must of left it there when-," "When you were doing it?" "Um…" "Nabiki Tendo! I never knew!" "It's not like that!" "It exactly like that," Nabiki turned around to see Shampoo… and Ranma, Akane, Mousse, Ryoga, and Ukyo. "How long have you been here?" Nabiki asked. "Long enough to here your big fat lie," Ranma said. "What lie?" "C'mon! Who would believe that bunch of bull about changing the light bulb the American way? Does it matter?" Mousse said. "Could be if it will determine your grade," "Determine, huh? What grade? How big your breasts are?" Ryoga said. Nabiki blushed. "Nabiki… It's all right," Kasumi said. "It's nothing! At least I did it! Unlike SOME people here!" She yelled. "Nabiki-," Kasumi tried to control her. "I admit it! I DID do it with Tachi! HAHAHA!" the six looked at each other and Kasumi did all she could to stop her. "Nabiki calm down!" "NO! I'll admit it to the whole world. I HAD SEX WITH TATEWAKI KUNO!" "YOU DID WHAT?" Soun came into the kitchen. Nabiki looked at her father. "Whoops," "Nabiki… could I talk to you," "Sure," "Have fun Nabiki," Ranma said. "Ranma, Akane, all of you… this does concern you guys too. Even you Kasumi," Soun motioned them to the living room. Once they all sat down, Soun started talking. "I think you should all listen to this," "Oh c'mon Mr. Tendo. We already know about the two birds and the productions of children," Ukyo said. Everyone looked at her. "Two birds and production of children?" Shampoo asked. "Hey! That was the way of story I was told!" "It's not that! It is something else," Soun looked at Ranma and Akane. "I seem to have notice that for past day… all you seem to have gotten along with each other," He then looked at Ryoga and Ukyo. "What does this suppose to mean? Huh Daddy?" Nabiki asked. Soun then looked at his two daughters. "So… have you guys ever thought of getting married?" Soun then looked at Mousse and Shampoo. "Mr. Tendo!" Ranma, Ryoga, Ukyo, Shampoo, and Mousse said in unison. "Daddy!" Akane and Nabiki said in unison. "Oh my!" Kasumi said. Then everyone looked at Kasumi. "Kasumi?" Everyone but Soun said. "Yeah! Didn't you know something from her? One, while you guys were out for the night, Dr. Tofu came over tonight and asked Kasumi if she would marry him and of course, she said yes," Soun said as Kasumi nodded. Everyone else cheered. "And that's not all," Genma came into the room. Everyone stared at him. "What is it?" Shampoo asked. "We didn't told you this earlier. We thought it will shock you but-," Genma got interrupted by Kasumi. "I'm pregnant," Kasumi said. All the teenagers looked at Kasumi with a happy face. "Oh Kasumi! I'm so happy for you!" Akane cheered. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ragi and Washi were in their apartment drinking some tea on the table, the only furniture in the apartment. The rest were either in boxes or scattered somewhere. "Those two are nice. Ukyo could be our first friend. To bad Ryoga doesn't go to that school. He sure did look cute," Ragi said. "Ragi! He already got a girlfriend, okay?" Ragi nodded. "Okay," Ragi walked out to the door. "Where are ya goin?" Washi asked his twin. "I'm going to Ucchan's. I always wondered what she serves," She then walked out. Washi sighed. "Well… not even gonna help me with the stuff," Washi stood up. Ragi the came back in. "Hello," Ragi said. "Geez! That was fast," Washi said. "Ucchan's not open yet," "Fine then… we'll wait 'til later," Washi walked to a box and started unpacking. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ryoga, Ukyo, Ranma, and Akane were in front of an apartment that was next to Ucchan's. Shampoo and Mousse had to go back to Neko Hantan. "Well here it is. The Dajima Apartments," Ukyo said. Ranma looked what is next to it. "Gee Ukyo. You sure know this place a lot," "Yep… I was thinking of moving to this apartment. Closer to work," "This is where the twins live," Ryoga said. "Do you know what room they live in?" Akane asked. "Nope, but we could asked," "Do you guys even know their last names?" "No… but I know how to ask," Ryoga led them in. Okay… make that not to the apartment. "Ryoga you jackass! Your going the wrong way!" Ukyo said. Ukyo grabbed Ryoga's arm and dragged him in the apartment. They are now in apartment asking a guy behind the counter about the twins in a very strange way. "Okay… there are a set of twins," Ryoga informed. "One's a girl and one's a boy," Ukyo said. It was then Ryoga's turn. "They are small for their size," "And they go by the names of Ragi and Washi," The guy behind the counter thought about it for a while, then nodded. "Oh! You mean the Saotome twins," "The Saotome twins?!" Everyone looked at Ranma. "Yeah. Their room is 173… in the fifth floor," "All right… thank you," said Akane as she, Ranma, Ryoga, and Ukyo ran to the nearest elevator. They all got in and once the door closed, Akane pressed the fifth floor button and the elevator started moving. Ryoga leaned on one of the walls and looked at Ranma. "So Ranma, what is this about the Saotome twins?" "Hey Ryoga, I don't know, k?" Ranma turned to face Ryoga. "What are they? Your brother and sister?" "Listen man, I don't know who they are!" "Is that so?" "Yeah. They are probably some kids with the same last name!" "So you say," "Shut up!" "Hey!" Akane said. Ranma, Ryoga, and Ukyo looked at her. "What is it?" Ukyo asked. "We-we past the fifth floor!" "What! That can't be!" Ranma said. He went and pressed the fifth floor button. The elevator passed the seventh floor. Then the eighth floor. The ninth… tenth… "It ain't stopping!" Ukyo said. It was then passing the eleventh floor… the twelfth… and for some reason… it stopped on the thirteenth floor. "Hmm… that's funny. That's not the highest floor and it stopped on the… thirteenth… oh no," Ryoga looked at everyone. "Oh no? What'd ya mean oh no?" Akane asked. Five seconds later… the elevator dropped down. Four screams were heard. "There's gotta be somehow to stop it!" Ranma looked everywhere. Ryoga looked up. "We're in the first floor! We are gonna hit full impact!" The elevator then went to the basement and then… It stopped. Everyone looked around. "Yo Akane? You okay?" Ranma asked. "I-I think so," "Hey Ukyo? Are you all right?" Ryoga turned to Ukyo. "Yeah, I'm fine Suga," Ukyo swept some dust off her clothes and went to hug Ryoga. The elevator dropped a bit and the door opened. The four went out of the elevator to see the two teenage twins. "Why hello Miss Kuonji, Mr. Hibiki," Ragi bowed down. "Hi," Ukyo said. "Sup?" Ryoga gave a thumb up. "Nothin much," Washi answered. The two looked at Ranma and Akane. "Hello," Akane crouched down to be same height as Ragi and Washi. "Hi. I'm Ragi and this is my twin brother Washi," Washi bowed down. "My name is Akane Tendo," Akane smiled. "Ahem," Akane looked at Ranma. "And this is Ranma," she said in a not so happy tone. "Gee, can't ya give some respect?" Ranma looked at Akane standing up. Akane walked over to Ranma and glared at him. "Respect? Respect? You of all people tell me to RESPECT YOU?" "What, can't ya see I'm being nice?" "NICE? As if! Honestly, think of a better excuse next time," "From a person who is SO uncute-," "Oh I'm sorry! I didn't hear that correctly. WHAT DID YOU SAY?" "From the beginning… your uncute, unsexy, built like a brick, you smell like a gorilla! Your a mule face chick, tomboyish, and thick as a stick! Want me to go on?" "Hey! I am standing right here!" "Excuse me," Ranma and Akane looked at Ragi. She was in front of Ryoga and Ukyo which they have sweatdrops, and beside Washi. Washi whispered something to Ragi and she nodded. "Oh yeah! That's right! Would you mind telling me your last names?" Akane asked. "Saotome. Ragi and Washi Saotome," Akane glared at Ranma. "Excuse me, mind telling me something?" "HEY! I don't know them!" Ragi and Washi looked at each other and then at Ranma and Akane. "You know… you two remind me of my parents," Washi said. Ranma looked at him. "Can you tell me the names of your parents?" "Well… their names are Ranma and Akane Saotome, coincidence to have the same names as you, huh?" Ragi said. Ryoga and Ukyo stared at Ranma and Akane. "Ranma…," Ranma blinked. "And Akane…," Akane blinked. "Saotome?" Ryoga and Ukyo blinked. Ukyo looked at Akane and Ragi. "You know Akane-honey, she does look kinda like ya… except her blue hair are in braids like Ranma…" Ryoga looked at Washi. "Not to mention… this guy looks just like Ranma, except smaller…" Ukyo looked at Ryoga. "Do you think…" Ryoga shook his head. He crouched down to face Ragi. "Ragi… could you tell us when your birthday is?" "Me and Washi's birthday is December sixteenth," Ryoga looked at Ukyo, Akane, and Ranma. "These two have the same birthday as Akane," (I made up the birthdate… I really don't know when Akane's birthday is.) "What year?" Ukyo asked. "That, we cannot say," Washi answered. Ukyo and Ryoga looked at Akane and Ranma and nodded. Ranma decided to asked them a different question. "Any relatives? Aunts? Uncles? Godparents? Whatever?" "Yeah! Grandpa Genma and Grandmother Nodoka… Grandpa Soun… Aunt Nabiki and Uncle Kuno, Aunt Kasumi and Uncle Ono… Godparents… Ryoga and Ukyo Hibiki, but they are like uncle and aunt to use 'cause they visit us very often… Godparents… Mousse and Shampoo… we visit their restaurant everyday and they will sometimes give us free ramen," Ragi answered with a smile. Ryoga and Ukyo looked at each other. "Ryoga and Ukyo Hibiki?" Ukyo mouthed out. Ryoga shrugged. Washi looked at his watch. "Look at the time! Time flies when you're having fun! We gotta go!" Washi and Ragi waved good-bye and disappeared upstairs. "Ryoga and Ukyo Hibiki?" Ukyo said out loud. "Don't ask me," Ryoga said. "Anyway… we should get going too," Akane said. The rest nodded and followed her to the stairs. Ukyo turned around and saw Ryoga going a different route. She pulled his collar. "This way Ryoga-Suga!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shampoo yawned as she went back to the kitchen after serving a lot of people. She took a deep breath. "Hiya… Shampoo tired. Where Mousse at?" She then went out the kitchen to give greetings to new customers and asking them to try their new special… Ramen Nibunnoichi! A whole ramen with halves of lobsters on the side. "We'll try the special," said the customers. "Hiya… be in little while," Shampoo went to the kitchen and gave out a big sigh. She then saw Mousse walking past her, stretching his arms. "Hey Shampoo… where are you?" Shampoo sighed. "Mousse, stupid, you forgot to put on your contacts!" Mousse turned around to the voice. "Shampoo?" Shampoo grabbed his arm and dragged him to the bathroom. They reached the bathroom and Mousse looked at… the wall. (What'd ya think I was gonna say? ^_^) "Mousse… please put on contacts," Shampoo smiled. Mousse nodded. "Sure," "But first," Shampoo switched Mousse to the mirror. After a couple minutes, (It took Mousse awhile to find his eyes… which is why Shampoo had assist him.) Mousse looked at Shampoo. "Thank you Shampoo," Shampoo smiled. "Tweren't nothin," Mousse stared at her. "Shampoo…" "Yes?" There was a dramatic pause. "Shampoo… would you like to get some lunch?" Mousse broke the silence. "Yes… first, must serve people," Shampoo ran out of the kitchen with the order and served it to them. The customers tasted them. "My God! These are delicious!" Shampoo and Mousse stared at him. "You like?" Shampoo smiled. The man nodded, so did the women that was with him. "You know… there is this one food contest here in Nerima. Maybe you should join," Shampoo's smile grew larger. "Hiya! The Annual Food Contest? First place win one million yens?" The two stood up and the man lend out a hand to Shampoo. "The name's Kalvin Yoshito and I'm the sponsor of the Annual Food Contest. What's your name?" "Shampoo… and this is boyfriend Mousse," Mousse bowed down and stared at Shampoo and smiled. Then he stood up and smiled at the sponsor. "Pleasure to meet you," "Oh my young boy, the pleasure is mine," He shook Mousse's hand with a smile that Mousse did not trust. He looked at him as though nothing had happened. Mr. Yoshito looked at Shampoo. "So… Ms. Shampoo-," "Shampoo. Call me Shampoo," "Okay… Shampoo… you have probably heard about the Annual Food Contest. Today it is at this ward of Tokyo. I go to millions of restaurants and I have never tasted such food as this! Did you made this?" "Yes! Is call Ramen Nibunnoichi!" Mousse looked at Shampoo with a smile. Mr. Yoshito gave Shampoo some papers. "Here is the information about the contest. Contact me if you have any questions. My phone number is on the sheet," Shampoo looked through them and sat down. Then Mr. Yoshito gave her another sheet.. "Sign this sheet please. We need some information about the contestants," Shampoo took it and looked it over. She nodded. "Okay, Shampoo give you in little while. Mousse, follow Shampoo, yes?" She lead Mousse in the kitchen. "What you think?" Shampoo asked with expression. Mousse smiled. "I don't know. This is your decision. Isn't his fault you can make perfect meals," "Yes or no?" Mousse frowned a bit. "But Shampoo… there is something about that smile of his that I don't trust," Shampoo looked at him. Then gave out a sly smile. "Mousse jealous?" Mousse blushed. He turned his side to the wall and cross his arms. "Am not," "Hiya?" Mousse turned to Shampoo. "Shampoo, I think you should go for it, but this isn't about my decision… it is about your decision," Shampoo smiled and hugged Mousse. She took out a pen and went out the kitchen with Mousse behind her. She sat down with Mr. Yoshito. "Have you made your decision?" Shampoo nodded. "Hiya," "Good. Now all you need to sign is…" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "All right Ragi, we got some basic facts," Washi and Ragi were on the floor of their apartment talking about the incident in the basement. "Washi, do you possibly think that those were our…" Washi nodded. "They are. Remember at school when we had to know what our mom's maiden name is?" "Yes! Why would I forget that! That was one hell of a wonderful project," "DAMN YOU RAGI! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!" "Then what did you mean?" "Well, what was mom's name before she got married?" Ragi thought it over and gasped. "Tendo! Her name was Akane Tendo! She…back there…couldn't…well…," Ragi became confused. "Ragi, you know what this means?" "Then that means that those were our-," they heard a knock on the door. Washi looked at the clock. "It's one thirty and we already got a visitor," Ragi stood up. "I'll get it," she went and opened the door and smiled. Washi came over to see who it was. "Ryoga! Ukyo! What a surprise!" Washi said. "Miss Kuonji! Mr. Hibiki! How are you?" Ragi smiled at the couple that was outside the door. Ukyo handed them a package. "Here. Call it a move in present. Some free okonomiyakis from my restaurant," Ragi accepted the food ad she smiled. "Why thank you very much! Please, do come in," She motioned the two into the apartment. They all sat down on the floor. "Didn't quite move all your furniture around yet, huh?" Ryoga asked. Washi shook his head. "Nope, not at all," It was then he noticed what was in the couple's hair. So did Ragi. "What is that on your hair Miss Kuonji?" Ragi asked. Ukyo looked up and put her hand on her head. "Don't feel anything," "No… I meant the yellow and black thing. Is that a bandanna?" Ukyo smiled and took of the bandanna making her hair go down. *The legendary bandanna of Ryoga Hibiki and had given one to his wife, now Ukyo Hibiki. This has to be them!* He smiled. Ragi looked at Washi. *Is he excited to see Miss Kuonji and Mr. Hibiki? I guess so.* She smiled as well. Ryoga and Ukyo looked at each other for a minute and then at the twins. "You know… we been thinking while we were both at Ucchan's…" Ryoga looked at Ukyo and she nodded. "Go ahead Ryoga…" She mouthed out. Ryoga looked at her and then at the twins. "Okay, what I've been trying to say is… what city did you come from?" Ukyo sighed. Ragi smiled. Washi laughed. "Mr. Hibiki, we are from Nerima," Ragi giggled. "From the future of past?" Ragi and Washi at each other and then at Ryoga and Ukyo. "Fine we'll tell ya… but first ya gotta keep it a secret… especially from Ranma and Akane," Washi said. "Sure," Ryoga and Ukyo promised. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "All right Kasumi… are you sure you should cook dinner?" Nabiki asked Kasumi in the kitchen. Kasumi nodded. "I'm sure," "But it is only two o'clock," "Thought I should cook early," "Kasumi, you're fat as hell… how long have you been pregnant? Five months? Six? Seven?" "Well you see… OW!" Kasumi clutched her stomach. She looked down at her tummy, "Don't kick mommy." "Kasumi!" Nabiki ran to her. Kasumi looked at her. "I'm…I'm fine," Ranma and Akane finally came in the kitchen. "Kasumi! Are you all right?" Akane asked. She ran up to her. Ranma ran up to her as well. Kasumi was breathing hard. "So tell me… how long?" "This is it. My nine months is over," She gasped for air with a smile. "What'd you mean by that?" Ranma asked. "Ranma… I'm gonna be a mother really soon," Akane ran to the nearest phone to call Dr. Tofu. "Hello?" Dr. Tofu answered the phone. "Dr. Tofu…This is Akane. Meet us at the General Nerima Hospital! There's a surprise!" With that she hung up the phone. She looked at everybody and noticed some newcomers… Ryoga, Ukyo, Ragi, Washi, Shampoo, Mousse, Kuno, Soun, and Genma were in the kitchen, some staring at Akane and some staring at Kasumi. "Oh my Kasumi is now turning into a mother! I'm a grandpa!" Soun cried with joy. "Tendo, you're wetting the floor. Tendo!" Genma turned into a panda. "Shampoo would love to be mother too," She looked at Mousse who was blushing. "Shampoo…" "Nabiki Tendo… you think it happened?" Kuno asked Nabiki. "No… I'm not pregnant," Nabiki said with sorrow. "Holy mother of God," Ryoga said. "Oh my Goddess," Ukyo looked at Ryoga. "A cousin… Cousin Kagami," Ragi whispered to Washi. "We saw it all," Washi smiled. "I'll be aunt," Nabiki smiled "What the hell?" Ranma said. "I'm so happy!" Akane smiled. "We gotta get to the hospital," Kasumi gasped. Everyone nodded. "How?" Ryoga asked. Everyone thought about it. "You know… I really don't know," Ranma answered. "I know!" Ragi and Washi said in unison. Everyone looked at them. "How? None of us know how to drive," Mousse told them. "But… ever thought of calling the hospital? Then Kasumi will be on an ambulance. Catch that?" Washi informed them. Everyone thought again. "Understand this… I never the idea of that idea," Kuno said. "Then… why not try the idea," Nabiki said. Everyone nodded. Akane called for order. "All right, listen up. Ukyo, Shampoo… you two come with me, the rest of you… wait here until the ambulance come," Akane ran to the phone with Ukyo and Shampoo. The rest was staring at Kasumi. "Tell me Kasumi, boy or girl?" Ryoga asked. "I really don't know," Kasumi answered. "What'd ya mean ya don't know?" Nabiki asked. "The doctor-," "Doctor?" Everyone said in unison. "I meant my doctor that checks me when I'm pregnant, Dr. Piyo," Everyone sighed. "All right, the doctor… what?" Ranma said. "The doctor told me what it was and I kind of forgot. Father knows but he won't tell me," Everyone stared at Soun. "Why won't let the lady know if what is boy or girl?" Kuno asked. "You might say it as a surprise," Soun winked. Everyone nodded. Akane, Shampoo, and Ukyo came back. "They'll be here in a while," Akane told them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Year 2012… 13 years in the future from 1999. A women in blue hair was with her husband, a man with black hair into a braided pigtail, in their room. The blue h
