The human girls were less fortunate and had to stand in full view of the doctor/Awakened who had uncovered their little secret. Akane winced slightly. "Um, Doctor Tofu, I know it's weird but there is a girl here even though you can't see her," she said, blindly groping for Ranma's shoulders.
Tofu smiled kindly. "Your redheaded sensei has decided to hide herself in the wall, Akane."
"Oh, that explains...you can see her!?" Akane screeched.
Ranma stared at the oddity of it. "Nabiki, do I sound that out of it when I do that?"
Nabiki just nodded, trying hard not to laugh at her sister. "Yeah, Akane, Tofu's one of the Awakened in Nerima."
Akane just hung her head. "How many of you people are there?"
"Not many," Tofu soothed, leading Akane to a seat. He looked over to Nabiki. "How much does she know?"
"The simple version of Awakening, a little about wards, summoning, and nature spirits."
Tofu nodded. "And I take it it this started with you?" he asked the surprisingly shy spirit.
Ranma nodded. "Er, yeah. My name's Ranko. I'm, ah, living with Nabs. I mean the Tendos."
Tofu raised an eyebrow at this. "'Nabs?'" he asked with tones of amusement.
Nabiki rolled her eyes. "You recall my fiance, Saotome Ranma?"
Tofu nodded. "Black hair, pigtail, about 16, obviously athletic." His eyes drifted to Ranma. If it wasn't for the haircolor, gender, and species...
"Yeah, well, he had an accident during a trip to China. Fell in a cursed spring, and now..."
The discussion continued, with all three girls telling Tofu parts of the 'Ranko' fiction, as well as Nabiki's summons before they met properly. After a few minutes Ranma asked for some hot water and Nabiki helped him turn back in the bathroom. Akane excused herself to head back home. Tofu spent a moment to marvel over the curse but soon it was time for Ranma and Nabiki to leave as well.
