Part 2: "Nodoka"

Akane sighed in wonderment. She put her book down and looked at the ocean. "Such a beautiful day, everything perfi-" Her thoughts were interrupted when Ranma and Ryouga started fighting in the middle of the beach. Akane sighed. "Well, almost perfect." she concluded her thoughts. "HEY YOU TWO!" Akane shouted at Ranma and Ryouga. The turned to her. "STOP FIGHTING WILL YOU?!" They didn't. So she got up and decided to take a walk along the beach, where it was most peaceful.

Akane had been walking for more than an hour, when she saw Ranma-chan! Why is Ranma a girl, AND here?! He was back there a good while ago. Akane got closer. Matte yo! Ranma-chan has red hair, not black! Akane almost ran to where the girl was. When Akane got there, she realized the girl was seriously hurt, and laying on the sand! So Akane scooped up the girl, and ran all the way to Dr. Tofu's. She looked at the girl while running. Looks SO much like Ranma!

When Akane got to Dr. Tofu's she was afraid that she might have been too late to save the little girl's life. She only looked like she was only six or seven. Dr Tofu sighed and told Akane she can come and see the little girl. The girl was on the bed, with a blanket covering her up to her arm pits, and a wet cloth on her forehead.

Dr. Tofu turned to Akane. "Where did you find her?" "I found her on the beach, nothing more." She turned her attention back to the little girl. The girl looked exactly like Ranma-chan, if Ranma-chan was six or seven, only with dark, black hair. "Is she going to live?" Akane asked. "Of course. You found her way before death came to her door." Akane nodded. Dr Tofu went to the back room, but said Akane better go home because it was getting late.

After agreeing with Tofu, Akane turned back to the little girl one last time, and smile warmly. "I'll be back for you tomorrow, ok?" The girls lips opened, as if to say something, but no words formed. Akane leaned down and removed the wet cloth, then kissed the girl's forehead, and set the cloth back on her forehead. As she walked out, Tofu put a hand to the back of his head. He had no idea WHAT Akane was thinking at that time!

************************

Akane tossed and turned in her bed. It was already WAY past midnight, and Akane couldn't sleep! She couldn't stop thinking about the girl. Akane had been so drawn to her, so affectionate! Then again, Akane does love children. She sighed. I want children of my own one day. Someone special to be their Father. Ranma popped up in her mind after she said that. ACK! No way! He's too irresponsible,. Too immature, and too much of a PERVERT! He'd give my children bad ideas! Besides, he doesn't have the looks to give to a child! The child would end up being ashamed!

It was a little past 2:15 am before Akane fell asleep. 'Thank goodness it's a weekend!' she thought to herself before falling asleep. She woke up not remembering what happened the day before, but then the little girl popped into her head. "Oh yea!" Akane jumped up and landed on her feet, but that awful wave of nausea hit her again for the past 3 weeks every morning.

Akane saw Ranma about to go into the bathroom but, still having a hand to her mouth, ran to the bathroom pushing Ranma out of the way, slamming the door behind her. Ranma put his ear up to the door and heard Akane 'choking.' Concerned (for once!), he opened the door and saw Akane over the toilet.

She gasped and swallowed the puked again. "Are you sick, Akane?" Akane looked up at him and shook her head. Ranma started to protest but decided against it. Disagreeing with Akane means for sure death for the person who disagreed with her. Akane turned her head to the toilet and puked again.

She went to her room, got some fresh clothes, and went to the bathroom to start her bath. Ranma had the same idea, and also had clothes in his arms. Akane made an annoyed face. "Haven't you ever heard of 'ladies first'?" she yelled and went into the bathroom, slamming the door.

Akane sighed and got undressed, filled her water bucket up, and sat on the stool. She proceeded to wash herself, and then got into the big tub for soaking. She sighed again, putting a hand to her stomach. 'What's wrong with me? Why do I keep throwing up every morning?' she lifted her leg up and looked at her foot then put it down.

Akane licked her lips and removed the hand she placed on her stomach. She looked at her flat stomach, drawing invisible circles on it. Ranma popped into her head once again, but she shook it out. 'Doushite? Why is it that I'm always thinking of him?' she got out and rapped a towel around herself.

After changing into the fresh clothes, she stepped out and saw Ranma was there listening in on her the whole time. "Why...you...HENTAI!!!" and she ran after him with her famous mallet. "Breakfast is ready everyone." Kasumi announced. After breakfast, Akane asked Ranma, as she proceeded to go out the door, "Ranma? Do you have a long lost sister, or cousin?"

Ranma shook his head. "I'm an only child, my kaa-san is an only child, and Old Man is an only child. Thank goodness! Because if I have to put up with another one of HIM--" Suddenly a frying pan comes flying and hits Ranma on the head. Akane just went out the door to Dr. Tofu's place.

"Well, Akane, she's doing just fine! I'm surprised a young girl like her could pull out of the state of uncontiusness and be up and about!" Tofu took her to the back yard where Akane saw the little girl training herself on martial arts.

Akane gasped. "Something wrong, Akane?" "Those moves..." she trailed off. As Akane looked at the girl an image of Ranma appeared next to her. "Why, they're Ranma's exact moves!" She looked at Dr. Tofu. "Why?" Tofu shrugged, taking off his glasses and wiping them with a cloth. He put them back on as he was saying, "The only way you're going to find out, Akane, is if you question her." he turned to her. "You know, get to know her."

Akane went to the little girl. "May I please talk to you?" The little girl looked up at Akane and nodded. "Of course. Besides, that's enough practice for one day." They went inside and sat on the couch. "What is your name?" Tofu set down a tray od tea and cakes. "Nodoka." "Do you have a last name?" The girl nodded and sipped her tea.

Akane sipped her's also. It was going to take a lot to get some information out of her! "Well then, what is it?" Nadoka looked up at Akane. "First, I have to know what date it is, please." "It is November 23, 2003." Nodoka counted on her fingers. "Then next I have to see a man named Ranma Saotome." She looked at the very bewildered Akane. "Please."

**************************

Ranma looked confused and bewildered at Nodoka. "Y-You have my kaa-san's name." Nodoka nodded. When Akane announced a few minutes ago that 'Nadoka' was coming, Genma and Ranma ran into the bathroom and splashed cold water on themselves. Releasing they got the wrong Nadoka, they splashed themselves with warm water.

"Demo, how'd you know me?" Ranma asked. "Because you're my Daddy." Everyone turned to Ranma and Ranma almost passed out! "How could you Ranma?" Genma yelled in Ranma's face. "Betraying Akane like that! You ungrateful brat!" Genma started the crying act. "Ranma! Your father is SO ashamed!"

Ranma was about to hit Genma, when Nodoka, little as she is, started beating the crap out of Genma! She stopped and yelled at him. "Akane isn't the only fiancée Daddy has because of you!" Nodoka stopped to think. "Well, some of them. Your the one who was always a no good, rotten, mean person!

"You took Daddy away from Grandma, God bless her poor soul, and made it so he couldn't even see her! Then it's 'woe is me!' and 'oh, how ashamed I feel'! It's Daddy who should be saying those things, and I better stop before I start cursing you out! Kaa-san always scolded me for that."

She sighed and sat back down on the Tendo's couch. "Ore wa Saotome Nodoka. I come form the future where I am Saotome Ranma and Tendo Akane's daughter." Ranma and Akane looked at eachother and started to slowly back away from eachother. "Too late."

Everyone gave BIG sweat-drops and looked at Akane's still-flat-for-now stomach. So that's why Akane has been throwing-up every three weeks! That explains her strange behavior! There was going to be a lot of questions through out the whole time she's here!
