[ Everyone else is in Nabiki's room straining to hear their conversation ] Ranma: I mean it. I never met any one like you before. Kasumi: .... Everyone: .... Ranma: Ever since I knew you, you were always there to support me and to take care of me. Kasumi: .... Everyone: .... Ranma: I would be proud to call you... ...Sister! Everyone: Phew! Kasumi: I'm sorry Ranma, [ takes off walkman ] but I didn't hear half the things you were saying... Ranma: Uhhhh. Well I said that.. Kasumi: But I did get the part where you said you liked me.... Ranma: Uh, well let me expl... Kasumi: I didn't know you were into older women, Ranma... Ranma: Well, I .. uh.. you see... Kasumi: That's alright Ranma, I don't mind... [ She looks Ranma over ] Ranma: No, it's not like... Kasumi: You never think I noticed you Ranma? Always taking off your shirt and walking around half-naked... Ranma: But that was when my clothes were all wet... Kasumi: That's right Ranma, you always did like walking around with all your clothes just sticking and clinging to your body.. Ranma: No, no I didn't mean it like that! Kasumi: Come by later tonight, ..., in a WET shirt... [ Ranma quickly leaves the room very embarrassed and confused ] Ranma: ... Everyone: RANMA!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?! [ Everyone appears around Ranma and starts beating the tar out of Ranma] [ Later at dinner ] Akane: The nerve of you Ranma, taking advantage of Sister in her condition. Ranma: How many times do I have to tell you, I'm innocent! it was a complete misunderstanding! Akane: What do you take us for, fools?! Ranma: Well, you WERE suprised, weren't you? Nabiki: You're right Ranma, she should have acted like any other girl and screamed in terror when you told her that. Ranma: Nabiki... Don't EVER talk to me about that...! Nabiki: Ranma, can't you even get any original ideas? Ranma: Well when you used it on me it seemed to work pretty well... Nabiki: Yes, but, Kasumi isn't a gullible wimp like you Ranma Ranma: If you weren't a girl, I'd... Nabiki: But I am Ranma, isn't that a shame. And if you lay one hand on me, I'll scream. Poor Kasumi, you're already thinking about cheating on her. [ Akane returned from the kitchen and ploped a large plate of steaming food down in front of Ranma ] Akane: Well, even after what you did, you still deserve some dinner ... Ranma: Hey, no one deserves this... Akane: [ angry ] You could at least try! You never know, Ranma I might suprise you. Ranma: ..suprise... Akane: Ranma, where are you taking all the food?! Ranma: No time to explain, I've got to hurry while it's still warm. Genma: At least he is still taking responsibility, look how he is protecting his fathers. Soun: [nodding] Mm. [ In another room ] Ranma: Kasumi? Kasumi: Hello Ranma. Come in, I've been waiting. Ranma: I just brought you a little something.. Kasumi: Oh, how sweet, eh? What's that smell? Ranma: I saved you some of... Akane's dinner!! Kasumi: [ a little nervous] Ranma!... But .. why? I thought you liked me... Ranma: Sorry, Kasumi, this is for your own good. [ Ranma is trying to feed a chopstick full of food into Kasumi's mouth ] Kasumi: Kyaa! No Ranma, don't! Don't! [ outside Akane is passing by and overhears something ] Akane: Was that Ranma's voice? Ranma: [ muffled ] Please Kasumi, just hold still! This won't hurt.. too much... Kasumi: [ muffled ] PLEASE STOP! STOP! Akane: Sister?! RANMA!!! [ Akane barges in, Ranma has just forced some food into Kasum's mouth. Of course from Akane's viewpoint she sees the two of them struggling with Ranma on top as the aggressor ] Kasumi: Hhh, hhh, Ranma: There, try a taste of that! Akane: [ shocked ] Ranma!... Ranma: Akane? Akane: I HATE YOU!!! [ Akane launches an all out vicious attack on Ranma who just barely dodges] Ranma: Akane, what..? Akane: I HATE YOU!!! I HATE YOU!!! I HATE YOU!!!... Ranma: What's with her? Is she... crying? Kasumi: [ weakly ] delicious... Ranma: Is it working? ... oof! [ Distracted by Kasumi, Ranma let his guard down and Akane gets in a good punch. Ranma is knocked down and Akane towers over him, to finish the job ] Akane: ... I hate you... [ Akane runs off crying ] Ranma: Akane... Kasumi: [ in shock ] O my goodness, it's actually good, it's actually good... [ she sees stars twinkling all around her and then falls unconscious ] [ Ranma first looks at Kasumi, and then looks at Akane's running form. He keeps looking at both, until he finally makes a decision ] Ranma: Akane! [ runs after her ] [ On the way out, Ranma runs into Nabiki ] Ranma: Nabiki! Did you see Akane? Do you know where she went? Nabiki: She went that way. Did you hurt her feelings again? Ranma: No time! Take care of Kasumi for me, she's unconscious [ Runs out ] Nabiki: Hmm, I wonder exactly what Ranma did to Kasumi and Akane? [ We see a very large distorted face of Soun ] Soun: What was that about Ranma, Nabiki? [ At a nearby pier we see Akane, sniffling, looking out into the sea and holding a pair of razors ] Akane: Why does this always happen to me. First Tofu-sensei and now Ranma... I guess I have nothing to lose now. Kasumi still needs a cure before anything else happens to her and I certainly have no one to impress... [ Flashback ] Nabiki: Don't be stupid Akane. Akane: I have to do this for Kasumi! The only time Kasumi was ever shocked was the day of my "haircut" Nabiki: You do realize that when it happened you had *long* hair. For an effective reaction, you're going to have to shave it ALL off. Are you really up to this? Akane: ... Nabiki: I've got a better idea. We'll substitute another girl, we'll just pretend she's you. Akane: Kasumi won't be convinced unless it's the real thing. She's a lot brighter than everyone thinks. Nabiki: You'll just call her over and hide. The other girl will have her back to her, so she won't see her face. Akane: I don't know... where are you going to get a volunteer? Nabiki: Don't worry about that, I've got a couple people who owe me a favor... Akane: Sister, thank you. Nabiki: Well, just don't let it get around, I've got a reputation to protect. [ Ranma is running in the night desperately searching for Akane ] Ranma: Akane!!!
