"Uhm, well, it's like this," began Ranma. "Ya remember when Cologne said there was something important goin' on? She was kinda right..."
Ranma went on, explaining about how the urban legend of the Sailor Senshi turned out to be real after all and during the fight something had gone terribly horribly wrong.
"So these are those Senshi, and that's really Shampoo?" Nabiki said with a smirk. "Can we hear the real story now, Saotome?"
"It IS the real story," said a croaking voice.
Nabiki glanced at where Cologne was now sitting next to her. "When did you get here?"
"Not long ago," said Cologne. "I've brought a few things of Shampoo's."
"WHY DO WE GET STUCK RAISING HER?!" growled Akane, turning an angry and frustrated look at the little purple haired girl.
sniff Said purple-haired girls wobbled with tears briefly. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Immediately followed with a Niagra Falls imitation.
As those who have raised kids can say, certain reactions become contagious.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" went most of the little girls. "SCAAARRY!"
Akane twitched for a moment, embarassment swelling up within her. Then the frustration returned at all these children acting like she was some monster! She stamped one foot and yelled over all the crying. "WOULD YOU ALL STOP THAT!"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"KNOCK IT OFF!"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"STOP THAT CRYING ALREADY YOU LITTLE MONSTERS!"
The crying stopped, with all the clearly frightened children trying to hide behind Ranma.
"Miss Tendo, little girls require a slightly more delicate touch. Particularly when they have just gone through extreme circumstances," suggested Cologne.
"She doesn't look scary but she acts scary while the one that looks scary doesn't act scary," observed the little blue haired girl.
"I AM NOT SCARY!"
"Akane, you're getting excessively loud," pointed out Nabiki. "Well, I suppose the children might be able to stay here - but it'll cost you."
"I'm already working on that angle," said Cologne. "I well understand that you have no source of income here and a lot of mouths to feed. I'm checking into a few leads and should have some results within the next few days."
Nabiki looked surprised and somewhat intrigued.
Ranma hoped that didn't mean more problems for him, though it probably did.
Akane got a look in her eyes as she noticed a cup of water. "Oh, by the way, children. You want a mommy, so have one!"
SPLASH!
Ranma-chan grumbled at the sudden rinsing.
The various children looked to Ranma and back to Akane and back again. After a brief huddled conference, they came to a decision as to what this meant.
