Akisame opened an eye as the bashing and screaming echoed from outside, "You 
know...I'm almost scared to go outside...".

He continued listening, the rampage had stopped, or so it seemed, "...I think 
it's over.  Wasn't that Akane's voice?"

[[Which one?]]

"The one doing all the screaming.  She's not that hard to pick out of a 
crowd."

[[Yes...she does seem to possess some type of hatred toward males.]]

Akisame chuckled to himself, clutched a towel and wrapped it around his waist 
as he stood, "I better get out of here...I'm sure there's others in need of 
the rest room."

[[Bout time..]]

"Quiet."

He gathered up his clothes and walked out the door.  Not too soon after, in 
came an angered Akane.  She took one look at Akisame and cried out, "Animals! 
 I live with a bunch of animals!"

"But I..."

Still raging she cut him off, "Can't you people even walk around the house 
decent!"

"I'm not..."

"No!  I don't want to here it!  There's no excuse for..."

"SHUT UP!" this time it was Akisame who was doing the interrupting at an 
amazing decibel level, "For Pete sakes!  I'm trying to tell you that my 
clothes are alittle shredded at the moment and this blasted towel is 
providing twice as much body coverage as my clothes would if I actually felt 
the need to wear such undignified rags!"

Akane stood there, shocked.

"And don't go looking around for any nearby furniture, Azel already used it 
all on me in our previous confrontation!"

[[Wow...amazing, roughly 10% of your phrases used words with more then three 
syllables, must be a bit of Neil Beck showing up there...]]

Akane still looked a bit distraught, "Well...you can borrow some of Ranma's 
clothes, he should be your size.  Meanwhile Kasumi could sew your clothes..."

[[I think you've scarred her for life...]]

Just as quickly as he was angered, he relaxed and dropped his voice to a more 
suitable level, "Oh...well that's quite thoughtful of you, where's Ranma at 
anyway?"

"Last I saw..." Akane's voice had dropped to normal as well, "He was upstairs 
getting ready to take a bath."

"All right then, thanks" Akisame began to make his way up the stairs, and 
Akane walks back out the door.

There was Ranma standing at the top of the stairs, "Whoa man...I heard the 
whole thing."

Akisame scratched his head, "sorry bout that...yelling at yur fiancé and 
all..."

"Are you kidding!" Ranma began to laugh, "That was great!  I've never seen 
her out matched in yelling like that!"

"Oh...heh heh...*my god these people are weird*"

[[I second that...you'll fit right in.]]

"Anyway, you need some stuff to wear right?  Follow me, I got some extra 
clothes."  Ranma walked into his room and began to rummage around.

Akisame just shook his head and followed.  After a bit, Akisame stood there 
in an outfit of Ranma's.  Sleeveless button up top, and dark colored pants.  
He looked down at himself, it wasn't quite what he was used to, but he 
figured it would serve it's purpose just fine.

"Yeah...that'll work..."  Ranma stated, satisfied, "Here's an extra pair of 
shoes..."

"Nuh-uh"  Akisame held out a hand in protest, "Never wear the things..."

Ranma raised a brow, "Never?  Not even on the blacktop when the sun heats it 
up?  Or over rocky walkways?..."

He shook his head, "Nope...guess I just got soles of steel." (Pun!) 

Ranma shrugged, "Have it your way...hey...what's that?"

"What's what?"

"Lift up your arm...there...right under the tricep..."  Ranma saw it clearly 
now, a plain black tattoo that read 'Subject #55151, Project Iron Rain'.

[[Personalized dog tags, don't leave home without um...]]

"Oh...that...that's just an old nickname I used to have."

"Whatever man...I gotta go take a bath myself, Akane's right, just give your 
old clothes to Kasumi, she'll have them fixed in no time."  With that, Ranma 
headed out the door.
