Forgotten friendship

Chapter 1: Ranma's Strange Behavior

One day Ranma received a letter from his old friend Sayoko. She currently lives in China and met him in Hokkaido. This letter said that she wanted to see him again and that she wanted to get to know his mother. A photo of her was also included in the letter. Ranma had contacted her and told her that she could come.

Just before school ends. Akane looks over at Ranma again. He has been sitting thoughtfully in his place all day. "What is he doing," Akane thinks to himself. The whole time she's been wondering what's bothering him. Suddenly the school bell rings, school is over. All of the Furinkan High School students are rushing outside, except for Ranma. He walks out of the classroom, bored, towards the schoolyard. Akane has already gone ahead and is waiting for him at the school gate. "S-aa-oo-tt-oo-mm-ee!" Kuno storms towards Ranma.But he does not pay attention to him, but rather evades his blows. Since Kuno misses Ranma every time, he gets angrier and angrier. Ranma arrives at the school gate where Akane watched the "spectacle" spellbound. "What's wrong with you?" "..." He doesn't answer her. "Let's go, Akane," he said as he passed. When they get home, Akane shouts “I'm back.” Both take off their shoes. Akane watches Ranma go upstairs. "Hello you two," Kasumi greets them both. "Hello," she says to Kasumi. “What about Ranma, Akane?” “I'd like to know myself,” she replies. Meanwhile, Ranma is brooding in his room. "Ranma? Are you coming, the meal is ready," says Akane, who is standing in front of the door to his room. "I'm not hungry," he says to her. She shrinks back. Amazed at his answer, she goes downstairs. She slowly sits back in her seat. "And? Is Ranma coming?" "No, he says he's not hungry." "Then I'll take his portion," shouts Genma.> What has he got? He's not eating anymore, "Akane thinks in her room.

It's Saturday and Ranma has been awake for hours. "Tomorrow Ranma, why are you up already?" Asks Akane, who has just got up to Ranma. “I couldn't sleep anymore.” “Good morning, you two,” Kasumi greets them both. Ranma goes upstairs and puts on his suit. As he goes down the stairs Akane sees him and asks: "Why are you dressed so nicely? Do you have a rendezvous?" "That's none of your business!" He goes out the door and slams it. Akane wonders why he doesn't tell her where he's going. She puts on her shoes and tells Kasumi that she has an appointment with friends, but instead follows Ranma. > Ranma walks towards the train station. Is he picking someone up? Akane thought to himself. Arrived at the station, Ranma greets Sayoko, who has already been waiting for him. Together they first go to "Uc-Chan's Okonomiaki" shop and have lunch there."Tell me Ranma, who is this girl that you brought with you?" Asked Ukyo Ranma quietly. "This is Sayoko. An old friend of mine who once lived on the same street as me." "Um Sayoko, may I introduce you: this is Ukyo, also an old friend of mine, (quietly) and my fiancée . "" What else did you say? She was your fiancée? "Said Sayoko to Ranma. "Uh, yes. But my father arranged the engagement!" Ranma said to her. Akane, who was watching everything, now understands why Ranma has dressed up so fancy. You paid for the meal and walked out the door. Akane had hidden in a flash. “Shall I show you the city, Sayoko?” Ranma asks her. "With pleasure. I would like to know how and where you live," replies Sayoko.

After showing her the city, Ranma thinks about whether she can sleep with the Tendos or whether he should or should take her to a hotel. Akane has been watching her all day and was just about to go home when Ranma and his girlfriend suddenly get up and go.going in the direction of home. Arrived there. "I'm back," yells Ranma into the house. Kasumi greets him and asks: "Who is that girl there? Is she a friend of yours?" Suddenly Mr. Tendo and Genma (as panda) stormed into the hallway. "Ranma, who is that", asks Mr. Tendo Ranma with a grim look. Akane is just walking in the door when Ranma says to the others: "This is my old childhood friend Sayoko. Sayoko this is my father Genma (points to the panda. This is Mr. Tendo and the house belongs to him. Over here are Kasumi, the eldest daughter, and Nabiki, the middle one. Ah, and that is Akane, the youngest of the three daughters and my fiancée. "Points to Akane, who is standing behind him." Ok, there is one thing I don't understand: you have two fiancés. Do you have more? ", asked Sayoko Ranma." You have to ask my father, he knows it better than I do. Don't you? (maliciously) "Genma writes[" I don't know what you mean? " ]"I wanted to ask if Sayoko could sleep here for a few days.Could that be possible? "Ranma asked Mr. Tendo and Kasumi." But of course she can sleep with us, "said Mr. Tendo and Kasumi to Ranma at the same time. Ranma and Sayoko go upstairs to Ranma and Genma's room they have experienced everything and how their families are doing. "Ranma, Sayoko, are you coming to dinner? "Step Akane upstairs. They go downstairs and sit down at the table." Thank you for letting me stay with you, "Sayoko thanks Mr. Tendo." Where do you live, Sayoko? "Asked Soun Sayoko." Me have lived in China for a few years. " "In China? Do you happen to know the "Haunted Sources"? ", she asked Genma (not as a panda." Yes. Why? Have you ever trained there? ", Sayoko replied to his question." Ha ha ha yes. I told you that we are on a training trip in China Well, and we also trained there, but unfortunately we fell into the sources. My father turns into a panda and the like.i'm turning into a girl. "Tell Ranma Sayoko." Oh, and now you want to ask me if you can ride with me so that you can become real men again. Am I not right? "Well, in a way, yes, but we don't have any money for a trip to China, into you, at least I don't want to ask," he replies. "You can come with me when I go home. Akane, you could come with me, of course, only if you feel like it, "says Sayoko to the others. They all talk until late at night when Kasumi says at half past one that they should all go to sleep.

Chapter 2: Jealousy?

The next morning, Sayoko and Ranma go for a walk after breakfast. When they are in the park, Ranma remembers the time when he still lived with her on the street. They laughed about what they had experienced when Akane suddenly came by and she saw them on the one hand wondered: Why is Ranma so happy when he is with her?, and on the other hand, a certain anger accumulated in her. On the way home the next day. Akane asks Ranma: "I'm the only one who hasn't known you since earlier (angry, but quietly to himself)! Why are you only having such fun with Ukyo and Sayoko and not with me? (To Ranma)" Tears ran down her. He jerks back, jumps off the fence and tries to comfort her, which he fails to do. "Why are you crying all of a sudden? I haven't done anything to you," says Ranma to Akane. She walks past him with an angry face.

Arrived home. "Hello Akane and Ranma. How was school?" Sayoko asks the two of them. Akane also walks past her stubbornly without paying attention to her. "She's been like this since she went home." (Ranma) Akane goes to Kasumi in the kitchen. "Kasumi, you don't need to cook for me today. I'm not hungry." "OK," Kasumi Akane replies. “But why, Akane?” She doesn't answer and walks past Sayoko and Ranma and throws Ranma but one who is furious.at the same time sad look. "Why is she looking at you like that? Have you done anything to her?" (Sayoko) "Not that I know of." (Ranma. "Could you maybe go to her and ask her what's going on ?!" "Okay I can try it. "Sayoko goes up the stairs and to the door to Akane's room. She knocks." Akane, may I come in? "Asks Sayoko Akane." Come in. "" I wanted to ask why you "Well, you know, when I saw you with Ranma in the park yesterday and you were so happy, I asked myself why Ranma never was with me like that." a lot of fun than with me. He just insults me that I'm a macho woman etc., and when Ukyo came back he said to her that she was pretty, that he had never said to me. "" But only because of that you are definitely not that angry with Ranma, are you? "" You know, exactly a year ago today he and his father came to us. He forgot. "" Oh, so you know each other n a whole year u.didn't give you anything or didn't mention it. Do I see that correctly? " "Yes. But why did you come to me and not Ranma? "

“He said I should ask what's going on.” Sayoko and Akane talked for a while until they finally came downstairs. “Have some time too, so that you two finally come!” Akane walks stubbornly past Ranma, even though Sayoko has spoken to her. "What does she have now?" Ranma wonders. "Well, Ranma, there are several things she's angry about," Sayoko answered Ranma's question. The two of them go into the living / dining room and sit down at the table because there will be food soon. Ranma and Sayoko went to Ranma's room after they had finished eating. "Will you finally tell me what Akane's got, or not?" "OK, but only on the condition that you go to her right away, I promise?" "Okay. Now finally say it." "So first of all: you is mad at you because you have more fun with me and Ukyo than with her.she's pissed off that you didn't even mention that. "After Ranma heard this, he went straight to Akane, as promised. In front of her door he is still thinking about how and what to say to her. ~ Knock knock ~" Who's there? "" It's me, Ranma. Akane, could I come into the room, please? "Asks Ranma Akane in front of the door." Come in. "" Sayoko told me why you are so mad. I don't know why I have more fun with them than with you. Maybe it's because we've only known each other for exactly a year and I have known the others since I was a child. "" And what about shampoo. You've only known her since you've been to China, and that wasn't that long ago. "Ranma was caught in a bind because Akane was right about what she said." Yeah, but
