Kurumi regarded the redhead doubtfully for a moment. Usagi scrunched up her face as though considering it, then shook her head. "Well, we'll call you 'Usagi', because you have those cute bunnies on your outfit! Okay?"
'Usagi' brightened at that, and nodded. "That sounds like a good name," she agreed. "You said I know you?"
"You do now," Kurumi verified. "I'm Kurumi, and this is my new adopted older sister, Ranma!"
Ranma twitched slightly. "Um, yeah... about that--"
"Ranma, Kurumi," Usagi murmured, concentrating hard, pressing a hand to her forehead. Suddenly she stood upright, her hands falling to her sides and her eyes widening. "Ah!" she exclaimed.
Kurumi leaned forward and peered deeply into Usagi's eyes. "You remembered something?" she asked urgently.
"Yes," Usagi said distantly. "I... I...."
"Yeah?" Ranma asked, starting up another attempt at a campfire.
"I hate carrots!"
The stick in Ranma's hand shattered into kindling. "Well, that's good that you remembered something," she said, somewhat strained. "Keep trying, eh?"
"That's it," Usagi said sheepishly, resuming a more normal, girlish demeanor. "I don't remember anything else, except... hmm... I sure am hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"
"We should find my other sister, Natsume first," Kurumi counseled. Her stomach gave a betraying rumble at that moment, and she giggled in embarassment. "Well, maybe a quick bite, I guess.... But she's got all our food."
Ranma sighed, giving up on starting a fire for the moment. The pot was in the bottom of the cave, which kind of creeped her out anyway. "Well, there was an all-you-can-eat beef bowl resturaunt around the corner...."
"Dine and dash?" Kurumi asked, smiling. "Way ahead of you, sis!"
Usagi frowned, pulling a tiny changepurse from her pajama pockets. "I seem to have some money," she said slowly.
"Sure thing, other big sister!"
Kurumi smiled wickedly. "Buy us lunch, and we'll call it even!"
