CHAPTER FOUR
by: P-R-P-Chan and Ben (neB) Kalman


	The next morning, the entire household woke up to Soun's screams.
	"KASUMIIII!! WHERE DID YOU GO??? WHO COULD"VE KIDNAPPED MY DEAR
KASUMI?!?"
	"Daddy, what are you going on about?" Nabiki asked, rolling her eyes.
	Akane raced out of her room, and into Kasumi's, "Father, what's
wrong??"
	Soun turned to face his daughters, tears streaming down his face,
"I couldn't find Kasumi, so I came into her room to see if she was allright
and all I found was this pile of ashes on her bed
andIdontknowwhattodomylifeisoverwhatwilltheneighboursthinkImsoALOOONE!!!"
	"Oh dear," Nabiki said, pinching her lower lip in thought.
	"Oh NO!!" Akane said, holding her head in her hands.
	After the two girls had given their father a nice little tranq,
they were carrying him to bed and discussing the situation.
	"You know what this means, Akane dear, someone else is trying to
move into our territory!"
	"How can you be so cold and calculating! Someone just killed our
sister and that's all you have to say??"
	"Don't be so naive, little sister, this isn't exactly the first
time we had to deal with this kind of situation!" They deposited Soun into
his bed. "Besides, she'll be back."
	They heard giggling behind them, then turned and saw a shimmering
Kasumi rise up through the floor. "Oh Nabiki, you're just so smart!! How
did you know I'd be back as a spirit??"
	"Lucky guess??" Nabiki said, with a smile and giggle, quietly
motioning towards Akane.
	"Oh...oops..." Kasumi murmured. "Don't worry about father, one good
spirit deserves another!!"
	"Wha...?" The two remaining sisters said to each other in shock.
	"Just a figure of speech! I'll take care of him, he needs to rest
in peace! Now you two go and play!" Her hands reached through Akane and
Nabiki.  She furrowed her brow in concentration and her hands became
material, then she lifted the two girls and escorted them out the door.
"That's better, now don't be late for dinner."


	Kasumi was in the process of cleaning the kitchen for the fourth
time . She'd already cleaned the rest of the house three times that
morning, so decided that she should try it again, just to beat her record.
	The door swung open and Happosai's voice rang out, "Hey baby, I'm
home!" He floated through the door, "I just heard you'd died and was sooo
upset. C'mere and give grampa a hug!"
	Happosai leaped forward, arms reaching for Kasumi's breasts, only
to pass right through her and into the wall.
	"But Master Happosai, I'm not really dead..."
	Happosai's face blanched, "Y-you're not??"
	"Well, no." Kasumi said with a smile.
	'Damn,' Happosai thought, "Just when I thought it was safe to
return home!'
	"I'm actually a spirit now! Isn't that just wonderful? I can do
everything that I could before, but now I can also be a ghost! That's why
you couldn't do that naughty thing that you were about to do!"
	"Phew! That's great!! I mean, that's too bad, Kasumi, but
listen...now that you're a spirit, do you need your underwear?? I'm willing
to pay a reasonable price!"


	In a darkened hall, a meeting between kindred spirits was taking
place.  Around a  large oaken table, seated in high backed chairs, the ones
who ruled the city plotted their strategy.
	"One of our enemies has fallen... now would be the perfect time to
cleanse the stain from our fair city, it's time for us to move against
those who break our laws.  We must strike now,"  The shadowy figure at the
head of the table started.
	"Are you sure this is the best time?" A voice to his right asked.
	"Of course it is you blithering idiot! They've just lost one of
their most feared members.. If nothing else we must strike while we still
can..  Before that cutthroat skinflint manages to take control of the
situation."
	"Yes O honourable one, I'm sorry that I doubted you." The second
voice answered timidly.
	Another voice a bit farther down spoke up, "We also are missing one
of our number, the wanderer hasn't returned.  Last our sources heard she
was entering the premises of one..."
	"Don't you dare start spreading rumors about my dearest love of
loves!" a feminine voice interjected.
	"We will give our companion the benefit of the doubt.  In two hours
time, whether or not she returns we strike then.  While we wait, I believe
refreshments are in order.  Sasuke! Bring in some drinks for our guests!"

	The door slammed open.
	"WHY YOU LITTLE HUSSY!!! GET OUTTA MY HOUSE!!"
	Ranma woke with a shudder. Ukyo almost cringed. Genma snored on.
	"Akane! Haven't you ever heard of the word 'knock'?" Ukyo said,
glaring at Akane with a look that would make an evil spirit cringe.
	"Akane! You can't just come barging in here like that! That's so
rude!!" Ranma stated, as he hastily tried to cover his semi-nude body with
the sheets.  Ukyo, on the other hand, lost her grip on the sheet, revealing
alot more then she intended to. As well as her own body, which caused Ranma
to blush subconsciously, she revealed half of Ranma's abdomen, which was
covered in welts, bites and claw marks.
	Akane took an unsteady step back as her eyes took this all in. Her
embarrassment turned to anger, however, as she screamed out, "I CAN'T
BELIEVE IT!! OUR SISTER DIES AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS LIE HERE ENGAGED IN YOUR
KINKY INCESTUOUS AFFAIR WHILE WE"RE CRYING OUR HEARTS OUT!!"
	"Whose crying, Akane?" Nabiki asked as she walked in with an amused
look on her face. "Oh, nice buns, Ukyo." She said with a smile and a wink.
	"Did someone mention buns," Genma said, rousing from his slumber,
"I am kinda hungry...um...why are there three women in here...RANMA M'BOY
YOU MAKE YOUR FATHER PROUD!!!" He gave Ranma a vicious bear hug, as tears
rolled down his face. "And three at one time?? YOU'RE NO LONGER A BOY, BUT
A MAN!!!"
	Akane's face deepened into scarlet as Genma rambled on about his
youthful carnal exploits. Nabiki, on the other hand, began to gain interest
as he described some bitches he used to hang out with.
	"ENOUGH," Akane screamed, "YOU CAN ALL GET OUT NOOOOW!"
	"Whatsa matter, butch, jealous of something you'll never
experience??" Ukyo said, her eyes twinkling.
	"Take a pill, Akane!" Nabiki said, then muttered, " I'm sure Ukyo did."
	"RANMAAAA!" Soun wailed as he entered the fray. "THIS IS YOU'RE
DOING!! You let that little TROLLOP in here, and now she's
goneandkilledmydarlingKasumialthoughshereallywantedtokillAkanebuthitthewrongdaug
hterinafitofviolentrageandjealousyandnowKasumi'sconsignedtobeingaspiritfortheres
tofeternityjustlikem-"
	"WHAAAT?" Dr. Tofu screeched from downstairs. "WHAT HAPPENED??" A
pause. "WHO DID THIS TO YOU...I'LL KILL THEM!!" Dr. Tofu's scream of
unprecedented rage echoed throughout the house, ending up reverbrating in
the room where Soun was still in the process of trying to figure out
exactly what was happening between Ranma and his accompanying harem. Dr.
Tofu stormed up the stairs, as Soun finally realized that Ukyo was trying
to hide the fact that she was next to Ranma. Ukyo was also trying to hide
the fact that she was naked, which didn't help the situation much, either.
	"RAAAANMAAAA!!! How could you betray my daughter like that!! She
trusted you, and you turned around and STABBED HER IN THE BAAAACK!!!" Soun
finished ranting just at the moment of Dr. Tofu's entrance.
	"ranma you bastard i'll kill you for what you've done" Tofu's voice
was cold, calculating and unpunctuated. "i, ono tofu will not stop until i
avenge my darling sweet innocent kasumi who never laid a finger on any
creature in this universe no matter how LOATHSOME,  no matter how EVIL, no
matter how much like YOU, RANMA!!! I'M GONNA KILL YOUUUUU!!!"
	With that final, but very poorly written, commentary, Tofu pulled a
sharpened pencil from his pocket protecter and stabbed it into Ranma's
heart. Ranma squealed in pain as his flesh was pierced and collapsed into a
convulsing, and heavily bleeding heap.
	"Oops..." Tofu stated, returning to a saner frame of mind, "I
didn't really do that, did I. I guess I just-"
	"Don't just stand there you NITWIT!! SAVE HIM!" Akane sobbed.
	Ukyo reacted faster, almost inhumanly faster. She leapt up, grabbed
Ranma, and leapt out of the window. As everyone in the room, except Genma,
raced towards the shattered window frame to see what was happening, they
saw no trace of either Ranma or Ukyo.
	"Now about those buns..." Genma said, stifling a yawn.
