"That was Ranma."
Eyes turned toward Akane and the quiet end of the day conversation came to a close.
Kasumi and Tofu's young daughter was away in bed and not around to hear the conversation that would be coming.
"What do you mean Akane?" Kasumi asked. "We know her name is the same and she looks similar."
"Similar, because it is Ranma," Akane repeated.
"That sounds a little more sure than even I am," Nabiki noted. "How do you know it was he...him."
"I sparred her," Akane said. "It was almost a repeat of what happened the first night she was here."
"But if that was Ranma, why didn't she...he say anything to us?" Kasumi asked.
"Because Ranma is a jerk?" Ryouga suggested drawing a few glares.
"Most likely because of her children," Tofu said. "Considering some of the first questions we'd ask."
"'What happened with the curse?', 'Where did these kids come from?'" Nabiki ticked off.
"She asked me not to say anything until today," Akane said. "I don't think she's talked to them yet, but I think she's planning on talking to them soon."
"So where did the children come from?" Ryouga asked. "I mean, all you have to do is look at them and see they're he...his kids."
The three girls were silent on that issue and even Tofu looked a little uncomfortable.
"If you look at their ages," Nabiki said quietly. "Then they were born less than a year after Ranma vanished. And at the time, I wouldn't think Ranma would be comfortable with even cuddling as a guy, much less doing anything as a girl but flirting."
"You mean..." Ryouga looked more than a little stunned. "So what's the next move?"
"Wait for her to contact us," Akane said. "I told her I'd pass that along. And don't tell anybody else."
