********
Ranma couldn't explain it, but this morning after Gina had left, he felt increadible amounts of guilt and it wasn't allowing him to sleep. After he had taken a shower, rather quick, only twenty minutes, he had searched to place for Brianna, something was telling him to find her. He had spotted Julia heading for his room and he thanked the gods that she didn't notice him. He didn't want to even think about how she would act with that scowl on her face, so he quickly used Genma's technique and faded from view. Normally he wouldn't use it, but he wanted to talk to Brianna before her mom nearly killed him.
He quickly snuck outside and tried to find the Lycanthropoid. After searching the whole yard and finding nothing, he slipped into the dojo to catch his breath. 'Damn technique takes so much concentration.' As soon as he caught his breath, easily enough for him anyways, he disappeared from view and went back into the house. He slapped himself in the face, 'Gah, I'm so stupid, Gina's lab. The cameras should be able to tell me where she is.' He quickly ran down towards the lab, as fast as he dared, to try and find out where she was. He opened the door just a bit and heard someone crying. He winced and dropped the technique, peeked in and winced when he saw Brianna crying.

Gina led Brianna to the lab and the two sat in some chairs to talk. "Okay Brianna, just tell me what's on your mind."
Brianna glared at her sister, though she spoke mostly to herself. "Why? Just why is it that when I fall for a guy, one of my sisters has to as well?" She then decided to speak to Gina, "Why, just why do you have to fall in love with him? Huh? You've got Ryan, you don't see me chasing after him now do you?"
Gina winced, she didn't think that Brianna would've taken this so hard. "Sorry Brianna, I just didn't think that. ."
Brianna threw her hands up, "That's just it, you didn't think about my feelings." Tears were streaming down her face, "Damn it, I love him, and then it turns out that you love him as well and then he gets Archon and Britanny as well." She slumped in her seat and started sobbing, "Am I going to lose him to you like I lost Strype to Britanny?"
Gina winced as she heard this, 'Damn, I didn't think that Brianna would take it so hard.' "Brianna, I'm sorry, I can't change what I did." She sighed, "I really screwed up didn't I?"
Brianna couldn't answer, she just wrapped her arms around her legs and just cried. Mumbling about how she was tired of being alone and uncared for.
Gina frowned, she got up and gently hugged Brianna, "Sis, I'm sorry, I can only appologize for what I did. But you are cared for, everyone here cares for you."
"But I, *hiccup* just want someone to *sob* myself. Is that *sob* so wrong?" She then started crying even harder as Gina tried to help. "Just go away Gina." She said after some time.
Gina blinked, "What?"
"Go away, I just want to think." Gina nodded and got up to leave.
"Brianna, we'll talk later, okay?" Brianna just nodded. Gina shook her head and opened the door and left. When she closed the door, she was surprised that Ranma was there.
She tried saying something, but he put his finger on her mouth. "Don't yell." He whispered, "How much does she hate me?"
Gina blinked and whispered, "She doesn't hate you, not yet at least, but is angry and depressed. You should talk to her." Her shoulders slumped, "I do love you, but you and Brianna should talk to each other first."
Ranma nodded and crept into the lab. He walked up to Brianna, who was just crying, 'Damn, now I feel like shooting myself with silver bullets.' He then hugged her, "Brianna, I'm so, so sorry. I'd understand it if you hated me."
Brianna didn't answer, she just wrapped her arms around him and contined to cry into his shoulder.
