Once again, they were en-route. The Mi'ihen Highroad was a very long road between wide, green plains, adorned with various ruins of an ancient time.
When they passed the statue of a tall man, an old man came up to them. He explained to them that this man was Lord Mi'ihen, who once travelled along this road to reach St. Bevelle. He founded the crusaders and wanted to gain the trust of the maesters of Yevon, as they feared the crusaders to be rebels. In the end, he succeeded, and thereby the highroad became known as the Mi'ihen Highroad.
At the ruins near that statue, they decided for a little break.
Several other people were travelling along the road that day.
A little girl that walked past them with her mother, saw Yuna and excitedly asked her: "You're a summoner?"
"Yes," Yuna nodded. "I'm Yuna!"
"I'm Calli!" the girl looked at Yuna with cheerful eyes.
Yuna smiled. "Nice to meet you, Calli!"
"Lady Yuna, are you going to bring us the Calm?"
"Yes, very soon," Yuna answered.
Calli was excited and ran around in circles. "Yaay!"
"We're looking forward to another Calm, my lady summoner," Calli's mother said.
"I'll do my best," Yuna assured her.
"And good luck to your guardians as well." The woman bowed.
Then, Calli saw Kasumi and shouted: "Hey, you're that pretty girl that sung in the stadium! I saw you singing!"
Kasumi beamed. Such a nice little girl! "Yes, that was me."
"Can you sing a song for me? Just one little song, pleeeeeeaase?"
"Of course, sweetie!"
Calli and her mother sat down on some rocks, while Kasumi sang a little song, just for them.
"What's the Calm?" Tidus asked Yuna.
"The calm is a time of peace," Yuna explained. It comes after a summoner defeats Sin, and lasts until Sin reappears. You see, Sin dies and is reborn."
'Just as Carbuncle told me,' Ranma thought.
"I get it," Tidus nodded. "It seemed kinda weird. I mean, you father defeated Sin ten years ago, right? But it's still here. Didn't make any sense until now..."
Akane was listening to Kasumi's music while swinging her body forth and back.
Ranma came up behind her. "She surely sings pretty good, does she?" he asked. Akane nodded.
"Yes... these dresspheres truly are amazing! I wonder if we'll ever meet the person who created them..."
"You know, it's probably a good thing Kuno never gets a hold of one of these dresspheres," Ranma suddenly laughed. "Think about it: When he would find Kasumi's dressphere, he'd probably sing one terrible song after another to prove his love to you and the 'pig-tailed girl'."
Akane tried to imagine such a situation...
----
Kuno walked in circles inside his room. "Akane Tendo or the pig-tailed girl... Akane Tendo or the pig-tailed girl... I have to have them both..."
Suddenly, something caught his eye. "Huh? What may that peculiar item be?" He picked up the round sphere.
A bright flash surrounded him.
"Master Kuno, is something the matter?" the little ninja Sasuke, servant of the house asked, while entering the room.
And when he took a look at his young master, he gawked.
Kuno was dressed in garments that made him look like Elvis Presley himself - only were his clothes three times more expensive than those of Elvis. He even had a hairstyle similar to the King of Rock'n Roll.
"Sasuke..." he said. "I had an inspiration... I have to sing an ode to my two loves... I just have to..."
And a spotlight shone above his head, while in his hand, a microphone appeared.
"A one woman man's what I wanna be!
Stay by her side sooo faithfully!
I would if I could... but it's just no good...
Cuz there's two perfect girls for meeee...."
And when the music began playing, two holographic, dancing versions of Akane and Ranko appeared to both of his side.
"Ranko! Oh Ranko! Akane! Oh Akane!
A one-woman man's what I wanna be!
But there's two perfect girls for me!"
Suddenly, the clothes of the fake, dancing Akane shimmered, turning into a sexy female's police officer's uniform.
"Akane Tendo! Oh can't you see!
You can lock me up and throw away the key!
Akane! If loving you's a crime...
Then sentence me now, and I'll do the time!
My uniform beauty's simply the best!
She's got me heart under house arrest!
But before that cop names me her boy...
I'm head over heels for this pig-tailed joy!
Ranko! Oh Ranko! Akane! Oh Akane!
A one-woman man's what I wanna be!
But there's two perfect girls for me!"
The clothes of the dancing Ranko also changed, turning into a nearly scandalous nurse outfit.
"Nurse Ranko, won't you please
cure me of this bad disease!
Oh Ranko, the diagnosis is bleak!
When I see your face, my knees get weak!
Well, I'm burning up, I got the fever!
She's my perfect nurse and I'll never leave her!
Her bedside manner has healed more or less...
So why am I in love with my fierce tigress?
Ranko! Oh Ranko! Akane! Oh Akane!
A one-woman man's what I wanna be!
But there's one, no two...
No, three, four, five, six, seven, sooooo many...
Perfect girls for meeeeeeee!"
Sasuke could only sweatdrop.
----
Akane shuddered. That imagination she would grab and put far, far away into the darkest corner of her mind and never, ever think of it again.
Ranma blinked in confusion. "Hey, what's wrong, Akane? What are you thinking about?"
"Trust me, Ranma," Akane firmly said. "You don't wanna know it!"
